Do I need to add more? Yes? Why? So that people might actually talk to me? Why would I want that? Because that's what this site is for? I guess, but I though it was a site for finding and helping make interesting stories... It is? Then why would you say it is for meeting people? Oh, that's the only way to make the stories? I guess I'll add more to this then.

When It come to role-playing I like well constructed and interesting worlds. Magic, advanced tech, strange world? I'm in, or may at least lurk. My main enjoyment in role-playing is in the story and the characters, and often take the story five or six different ways in my head then what actually happens, often with a romance plot in mind. Action is secondary, or even tertiary. However I myself am (relatively) new to forum Role-playing and most of my experience comes from playing and GMing a table top RPG.
I am also pretty good at designing role play setting and such so if you would like help creating your RP I would be more then happy to assist.
I'm not interested. You don't seem to have a strong grasp on the system.
1) Dragon Hatchlings are on average stronger then Nightbane Ley-line walkers. The have both psionics and magic as well as being nigh indestructible. 2) Not only that but Tech has many advantages over magic. Range, damage, versatility, speed, price. Excepting one or two spells (Powerbolt and maybe a legend) even short range tech weapons have a longer reach then the ranged spells. 3) A Mega-Juicer is more powerful than all but the most powerful of Nightbane.
Appearance: Chaz is a 5'4" tall 165 lbs. Student of the EAT class of the DWMA. With long thick brown hair that reaches the middle of his back and that more than one girl has been jealous of and admired, solid brown eyes, and a gymnastics physique it would seem that he would be one of the more attractive guys at the school. However with his uneven face (the entire left side of his face being almost half an inch lower and at a 3-5 degree angle to his right) and shifty and uneven 5'o clock shadow he is generally given a lower rating in attractiveness then your average descriptor would note.
He generally wears dark blue jeans with a white under shirt and a pin-stripped black button-down shirt With black shoes.
Abilities:
Enhanced physical attributes- Chaz's strength, speed, agility, dexterity, endurance, and senses have all been trained to a fairly high degree, and augmented further by his soul training.
Critical Eye- Chaz has the ability to see other peoples strengths, abilities, movements, and weaknesses, whether they are in movement, mind, body, soul, or ability. This ability used to take several minutes when he first learned to use it, however with time and experience he can now almost always analyze his target(s) in 10-20 seconds excepting special circumstances. Note: The ability to see the strengths and weaknesses of the soul is not soul perception per se, as it does not allow him to detect others, he has to be able to see them normally and finds the souls capabilities based on the persons actions.
The Oneness- This is an ability that many of the best fighters have. With this ability Chaz can wrap himself in 'The Void' and shut out all emotion and feeling, as well as uniting all of his senses into one. This allows him a greater sense of everything going on around him as well as increasing his reaction time due to the lack of conflicting thoughts.
Intellect- Chaz is quite intelligent, being quite bored with most of his classes as he has already mastered the material. He is also very creative with his intellect.
Hand-to-hand Expert: Precision and avoidance- Chaz in extremely skilled a combat style focused on precision movement and accuracy that take advantage of his abilities. Note: Although his style is focused on avoiding the enemy's attacks he is quite capable of taking a beating.
Utility Meister Type 1&2- Chaz is capable of syncing his soul to any weapon and use it, as well as being able to wield multiple weapons at the same time, pending they are one handed weapons of course.
Genius Meister- With his ability to perceive and analyze the functions and abilities of a weapon Chaz is able to pick up and wield most weapons with a basic level of proficiency right away, mastering the weapon in a much shorter time frame then normal.
Additional Abilities based on partner (specifically skill with their weapon)
Techniques:
Perfect Void- Chaz pushes his ability in the Oneness past its limits and creates a sphere within which he knows everything within, and which also slows time down for him mentally increasing his reaction time and allowing him to think things through more thoroughly in a fight. This also decreases the amount of time required for his Critical Eye to work. However this ability has multiple limits, the first of which is its range. Without having his Weapon(s) with which to increase his control he can only extend this sphere to about 30' from his central core. Even with his Weapon(s) the reach is increased depending on the weapons range. However the absolute minimum range for this ability when augmented by a weapon is 45'. The second problem is that this ability shuts out everything outside of his sphere of influence, dampening the sights and sounds that could normally be heard. Note: an attack launched from outside the sphere that then enters it is just as easily avoided, if not easier to avoid, then one launched from inside the sphere due to it being detected at range.
Critical Strike- After Chaz has detected his opponents weakness with Critical Eye AND they are within his Perfect Void AND he has the means to hit his opponent with their weakness; Chaz can deliver a nearly undodgeable and unblockable attack that deals massive damage and more likely then not ends the fight. Of course this takes time, preparation, and opportunity and is usually held back as a last resort as if it fails the enemy can generally adjust to the attack.
Further techniques to be based on Partner(s).
Equipment: Chaz keeps a music player and multiple sets of headphones, as well as his wallet, watch, small multi-tool (think leathermen), and a gold chain necklace on him at all times. When given time to prepare for a mission Chaz will also put on a vest and carry; water(Half a gallon), food (Both snack food and nutrition bars), a palmbook (Palm sized notebook), 2 pencils, 1 pens, a compass, some basic first aid supplies (bandage roll, gauze pad, antiseptic/cleaning agent), a flashlight (battery), and a book. The vest, although sturdy is not combat rated and is usually removed before combat, to be retrieved later.
Personality: Although somewhat friendly, helpful, and compassionate Chaz generally keeps to himself, only really hanging out with his partner(s); and even then he usually hangs in the background thinking about combat. He can sometimes fall into what he calls a 'Dark mood' during which he is somewhat volatile and irritable. When this happens he usually goes off on his own to cool off and reset, or starts destroying something. He will usually find something that needs to be destroyed.
However, during combat all he will ignore his emotions and focus on the task at hand.
History: Chaz was Born in Death City 16 years ago and lived a relatively normal life until Asura broke out of the ground during the Anniversary when he was injured and his dad was killed by a crumbling building. Not only that, but his mother was driven insane by the sudden release of the madness wavelength coupled with the death of her husband. The next couple years of his life, during which his mom committed suicide, was him pushing himself to the limits of his physical and mental capabilities and beyond so that he could become a Meister, a goal he accomplished when he was fourteen and invited to the DWMA. It wasn't long until he was put in the EAT class and was going on missions. He has been training hard and been going on mission after mission since then. Chaz keeps a gold chain necklace and a beat up wrist-watch with him at all times as mementos of his parents, and anyone who messes with either often end up injured.
Supporting Characters:None. Raised himself in the orphanage and was far to dark at the time to make friends, plus, he spent too much time training.
Chaz Hoyt
Chaz woke up with his alarm going off at precisely 5 in the morning. After shutting the alarm off he got up and made sure that everything important was where it was supposed to be. Watch? Check. Necklace? Check. Leatherman? Check. Wallet? Check. He then got up, put on his workout clothes, and went to the his basement/gym to do his morning workout.
Chaz started out with his "Body Weight" training which in reality included quite a bit more weight than just his body weight. He had grown past that stage a long time ago. Chaz grabbed his heaviest weight vest for today's workout and the started with the one handed pillar push-ups, after doing 500 reps with one hand he switched hands and did another 500 reps. From there he did pull-ups (one handed of course), crunches, high jumps, long jumps, jumping jacks, and a number of other various exercises. Half an hour later, when he was done with the weight training he switched to training his agility training, followed by half an hour of running on a treadmill.
Chaz finished up his training at about 6:30 and went and took a shower, fixed himself a quick breakfast, and at 6:50 left and started the 2 Mile long run to the DWMA. He hoped he got a difficult mission today instead of having to sit through classes that he already knew. He didn't mind some of them, even he had started to notice the girls, but for the most part the missions provided the experience he wanted so that he could get stronger.
Obviously I know the setting... Me and a group get together every weekend or so (when we can). We have done Rifts, nightbane Earth, Superheros, Three galaxies... ect ect.
So yeah, excluding age, you all shouldn't need to change much. Again, you all already feel like one stars, except for the critical eye guy, so if ya give yourselves a nerf, you'll be defeating the purpose.
I am the Critical Eye Guy, that's why I am nerfing. My Crit Eye takes longer, my Martial arts skill is lowered, as are my physical capabilities. Perfect Void has a smaller range. And I gave up a year or so worth of personality and experience development (no longer a skilled team leader, something that may change over the course of the RP). Basically I sent my character a year back in time. I still intend to give him ______ Meister for the weapon he gets teamed with but...
I do agree that the CSs all felt weak (which was actually going to be an argument to get mine accepted ahead of the others) but for most of them I could easily see ways to raise them to two star.
Edit: Also have to change history, age, personality... Time for a younger version of Chaz to show up I guess...
Edit: Now for a new Sample post... or at least an edited one.
Appearance: ~Statistics: Weight- 136 lb Height- 6'1" body type- Slim Hair color- White/pink Eye color- Red
Her Weapon form is a deceptively simple looking sword when her blade is hidden in its sheath of average size for a katana. The sheath itself has a small silver fox tail on it that will portray her emotions along with the silver and black fox engraving that acts as her eyes in emoting. When the blade is drawn the sword doubles in width and then starts to resonate with the Meister. The blade is a bright silver with a tinge of pink which flashes in the bright light.
Abilities:
Soul Perception- Maya is highly perceptive to soul wavelengths due to her Animal inclination (though she is not able to see them unless she is literally right infront of them), it is almost like she hears them rather than sees them though that should be impossible.... Right~?
Partial Transformation- When Maya partially transforms any ends of joints (Ex.Elbows, Knees, Spine, and the joints in her tail) will turn to blades allowing her to utilize it to fight.
Soul Projection and Flexibility- Maya is able to use her soul wavelength as a high energy shock wave that not only is devastating at close range but also long range as well.this being said her soul is very strong yet flexible as even if she is not able to resonate with another her rejection is not nearly as harsh as other weapons and meitster's who's wavelengths don't match.
Magic: Fox Fire- Maya's personal created magic, she summons a silver and pink flame that coats her entire body before collecting around her ears, eyes, hands, feet, and tail which increases her five senses as well as her soul perception range......It also increases her strength and if she uses it in her weapon for it will light her on fire.
Techniques:
Fox Fire: Massacre- Launches a volley of indescrimanant fox fire that burns and attacks any of those that would be dubbed an enemy
Soul wave: Pulse- In both Maya's weapon and humanoid form she is able to generate a small shockwave from her soul by pumping her soul wavelength into the air and sending it off into a direction.
Equipment: List everything your character carries with them, including protective wear, how they carry things, etc. (Anything you carry on you other than your weapon)
Personality: Tell us about their personality traits, nobody is perfect. Charming? Loner? Earnest? Pathological liar? Flaws, good traits, we want to know. (What are they like)
History: Tell us how your character came to be in the present. What events in their lives shaped them to be the person they are today? Dead parents, were they poor and go hungry? Were they born into a lap of luxury? (Flavor to develop your character)
Supporting Characters: Does your character have friends, siblings, parents? Keep a list of them here, please do ensure to add your character’s partner name and character sheet here. If you are partnering up with another player please note the name of the character and the writer.
Sample Post: We want to see your level of writing, give us a taste of what you’ll be bringing to the table. Minimum of 3 paragraphs please.
An ability suggestion/thought about Fox Fire. Instead of having just one function (as a one star weapon might) your character is probably experienced enough to have developed multiple different functions and capabilities, both independently and as a weapon. The ability to use the fire to move stuff without burning it perhaps, or make it so that only Maya and her Meister can see the light from her flames (both attributes that can be taken from a foxes tricky nature). Other possibilities include different types of flame manipulation to Ice magic. Yes, Ice magic. A adept of fire magic can pull the heat out of something (to extinguish the flame for example) and a master can bring it to the point of freezing stuff. Try to be a bit more creative when developing your abilities as they determine when you have available to make techniques. And don't forget to mention stuff like actual physical combat abilities. It isn't just your magical/soul based abilities that matter.
Also, you could probably change your "Flexible" soul into being a utility weapon. Instead of only being able to pair up with one or two Meisters your character would have the pick of the lot, although her personality may or may not get in the way here as that section is not yet done. You would of course still have a primary Meister with which you could truly resonate with.
Depending on your choices you could have a very wide range Two star Weapon, or a very limited One star weapon. It all depends on what you build into your foundation.
