EL is right about ellipses... I'm in a state of.... shock.... three profile bomb! /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> XD, thanks. I'll look into it. Btw, just for heads up... like I said before, I preferably accept one profile per person, with exception of it being good, then I accept more. That being said, unless it is completely horrendous, I will accept one, regardless of its... okay, since nobody have reached that threshold of EVILLLLLLLLLLLLL yet, I don't think I have to add. Btw, you are considered more.... acceptable... out of everyone. With exception of tarots. But that, my friend, is better than EL's complaint on Cham's profile lol... and I'm considering how to... erm... normalize... cham's profile without killing the character. In fact, your characters seems to be more.... how am I suppose to say this.... easy to work with... than Mokona's... (if I spelled it wrong, that is because I didn't read that blasted tubasa chronicles or something... i wasn't much of a fan of xxxholic as well... to be honest, I find any manga written by that author to be confusing

QUOTE (Mokona @ Aug 22 2010, 10:48 AM) quotecI just wanted to make this clear about Adrien's powers. His/her hands glow 24/7, but (s)he can make them glow brighter. (Infinitely, if (s)he strains it. But then (s)he'll be blind.) And 'thought corruption' is just a cool name for one-way telepathy. Adrien can project his/her thoughts. Because of this, I find that (s)he would be a good battle strategist (if (s)he actually fought in a group, which I think would be his/her biggest problem).QuoteEndQuoteEEndAlright, I read your post and this post, and found what you were saying. I'll keep those two points in mind when I'm making crap up. I'm having too much fun with Adrien right now, so i dunno if you would like the profile once I'm done with him.... X

/sizeocoloro:blue/coloroDONEcolorc/colorcsizec/sizecsizeo:15/sizeocoloro:red/coloroAdrien: Acceptedcolorc/colorcsizec/sizecFull Name: Adrien (No last name)Age: 14Physical Appearance:QuoteBegin-Mokona+QUOTE (Mokona)QuoteEBeginSlightly tall, thin. Tanned, and slightly more muscular than they seem. Wavy black hair, brown eyes, and large-ish nose.QuoteEndQuoteEEndIf there was a word to describe Adien, it would be “weathered.” He carries the years of suffering and loneliness that he has experienced since his childhood. To survive on his own, his body has become well toned and chiseled. Slightly towering over average men, he is thin, but what mass he has is muscular; for he has little luxury for anything else. He bears scars from beating during his childhood, when his only method of surviving was to steal. However, such crimes never got past petty thievery, as Adrien is still under the sun, as his tan shows.Adrien’s hair is dusted, often times covering his wavy black hair, which is probably his most attractive point. His face is angular and shows slight sign of hunger, but he isn’t completely starved. Probably taken from his European ancestors, Adrien has rather prominent nose, which distinguished him from being classified as Asian rather than Gypsy or the likes. Despite his dusty, aged looks, his brown eyes never show any wavering. In fact, it is sparkling brighter than ever. Back in his childhood, he was rather helpless, afraid of getting hit or worse… whipped. But now is different. He can get work, take odd jobs, and make a life for himself. Of course, such fantasy probably won’t be so easy.Faction: QuoteBegin-Mokona+QUOTE (Mokona)QuoteEBeginAdventurersQuoteEndQuoteEEndAdrien is probably one of the founding members of a little team that moves from timeline to timeline. He used to wander alone, but upon meeting up with a group, he now travels from timeline to timeline much like in a vacation. His members are all less aware than himself about the timelines, as Adrien was invited to join the Strangers once in the past.Tarot: QuoteBegin-Mokona+QUOTE (Mokona)QuoteEBeginThe HermitQuoteEndQuoteEEndType: GeoTarotRole: light combat, supporter, projectorProminent Strength: NoneAdrien has a GeoTarot, a tarot who is a little bit shier than its counterparts in The Other World (think I’ll name it or something… but that’s the name that I’m going by for the world that Ge.Ne.Sis. is taking place.), but its contracts are more binding, named Pustinjak. She, for indeed she sounds like a female, preferably goes by Puss. Despite what the cute nickname suggests, she rarely speaks, much less speak affectionately. However, she is more than happy to converse with her partner, Adrien, for the two have been together since they have been connected.Puss, like all GeoTarots, is a bit different than its Other World counterpart. Because Puss is among the few tarots that are fond of modern era, she wears much like the common person would. She wears hoodie with jeans, although the color and the brand of those clothing differ each time she is summoned. Her hood is always up, and she also wears black surgical mask most of the time. Her mask is probably how she usually describes her current emotion, as she uses different kind of design to tell everyone how she feels. Puss’s ability is similar yet different in many crucial aspects to that of the Tarot Hermit in The Other World. Puss has a staff and her ability allows her to speak words of guidance. What she is different from Hermit is that she is more combat-oriented than Hermit, although still insignificant when compared to combat-based tarots. Puss has a staff, but it isn’t quite linked with a torch. It is simple, dark brown wooden staff. Her ability to light comes not from her staff, but her left hand. Like her partner Adrien, although Adrien’s right hand glows instead of his left, Puss has an ability to shine the palm of her hand. This light can be completely extinguished to brightness that of a midday sun at will of its master. The light can also depart some distance away from the palm. This makes Puss’s ability ideal for distraction or even blinding agent, as she can use this ability as sort of flash grenade to her enemies, blinding them rather permanently. She, unlike Hermit, also carries around a dagger, which is completely black with no decorations. This dagger matches the one that Adrien carries around. Puss uses the dagger mostly to fend off enemy blows, although she is agile enough to use the dagger in different ways.But these aren’t Puss’s true strength. Her most powerful ability is ability to project her thoughts, or converse with others mentally. While Hermit from the other world is limited to its summoner, Puss has no such restrictions. She can easily work as a hub, transferring information from one teammate to another. This ability can also be used offensively, as sort of psychological warfare. Puss proudly calls this her “thought corruption,” as she often times uses her ability to confuse or even convince the enemy to not fight or flee in fear. Bio: QuoteBegin-Mokona+QUOTE (Mokona)QuoteEBeginThis person is an outcast from their society for having the powers of illumination (hands light up) and thought corruption (can put thought in others' heads). They wandered the world not knowing where to go, and were always an outcast wherever they went. As such, no one knows whether they can speak, or whether they are male or female. Reads anything they find, and will read very quickly. Found the Hermit sitting in a forest, and talked(projected their thoughts) to her. She accepted them, and was bound to them ever since. They have two daggers, which they hide during battle with the light of their hands, and as staff that they keep on their back at all times. Got lost in timelines by wandering over the edge of their universe, which was comprised solely of their flat planet.QuoteEndQuoteEEndAdrien has little tale to tell, because he doesn’t like telling others about his rather lonely past. Adrien was born from unknown family. He was quite alone by himself the moment that he can remember. He didn’t even own a name. Adrien’s painful past started when he was born. Adrien was… gifted. Early on, he could project his thoughts onto others. While this psychic gift would have been praised in some other times, Adrien’s rural village of superstition saw him as sort of demon child. So to stay alive without the warming embrace of family, Adrien did anything to survive, usually resorting to stealing. Because of his ability to converse inwards, he rarely conversed outwards, leaving others to think that Adrien was an outcast and deserving of shunning. He never defended himself in argument by speaking, and when others were scared of his thought projection, he stopped conversing altogether. And people left him thus, scared and alone, in a world of cold weather and empty stomach.Adrien’s innocence eventually left him, and he also eventually left his rural hometown, if that was ever his real home. He looked nothing like the locals, mainly because how pale he was at birth. His tan from being out all day soon fixed that, but he still stood out from the rest of the locals. It wasn’t an ideal place for him to be. So he traveled, up from his South American home, away from the locals, towards what many people called land of dreams: United States of the America. But the journey of a ten year old was difficult and full of holes. It was real surprise that by the end of tenth year of his life, he was still alive. But that miracle was no accident: he met a guide.Adrien likes to tell the story from here. He claims that his life started from here, when he met her. During his travel up north, he met a women in a forest. For Adrien, who has been venturing this part of the forest for several days, was an irritating presence, as she was sitting down in the middle of the bridge big enough for one person to walk by. Without thinking, he projected his thoughts, as he was too tired to speak, and half expecting the women to get up and perhaps run for her dear life. Adrien was shaken when she replied… in kind. Both happy and alert, Adrien sat down as well, and the two sat staring at each other for what seemed like hours, simply conversing with each other by mind. Eventually, the women got up, and lifted tired Adrien up and onto her back, and carried him off to the next village. From there on out, she was his guardian, and he was her mouthpiece, because for some reason, she didn’t like to speak.Now, four years since that faithful day, Adrien lives completely different life than before. His link with GeoTarot has gotten him into all sorts of adventures… adventures that seem like dreams. Being scouted by strange men to join in their loony quest to take over the world to fighting for his teammates’ dear lives in the meadow of ice trees, Adrien has gotten though a lot. However, all that is behind him. Adrien is rethinking of going to school, going to live a normal life. His partner, Puss, is planning on helping him. And he perhaps finally rest and put a dot into the adventurous life that he led until now… or so he believes.Personality:QuoteBegin-Mokona+QUOTE (Mokona)QuoteEBeginA nice person who will do anything for the people they like, but can be very stubborn. Gets very angry, but not often. Rarely speaks.QuoteEndQuoteEEndNo Edit. I used this personality to create everything, so no use elaborating or such… other characteristics will be revealed in the story, if I choose so.Weapons:QuoteBegin-Mokona+QUOTE (Mokona)QuoteEBeginTwo short daggers, and one staff.QuoteEndQuoteEEndAlmost the same. With a bit of difference: Adrien doesn’t have a staff, and carries one dagger. Puss, on the other hand, carries a staff and a dagger. Also remember that while Puss’s left palm glows, Adrien’s right palm glows.Fighting Style:QuoteBegin-Mokona+QUOTE (Mokona)QuoteEBeginWith the daggers: They prefer to finish all fights quickly, and therefore uses their Illumination to blind the enemies and then to quickly kill or incapacitate them. If this is not possible, they use both short straight slices and long fluid ones.With the staff: They wield the staff in one hand, often spinning it around, to confuse their foes. They prefer swipes to jabs, bit will switch to a double-handed position to make jabs strong enough to punch a hole in a brick wall.QuoteEndQuoteEEndNo difference, but Puss is probably the only one that can use a staff, right?Death?: YesDeath Scenario: Sacrifices theirself. Doesn't matter why or how, but it has to be a good reason.Love Preferences?: NoExtra Information: This person's powers stem directly from the dream link between timelines. If they don't sleep, their powers weaken.QuoteBegin-AUTHOR’S NOTE+QUOTE (AUTHOR’S NOTE)QuoteEBeginI’ll make sure this is achieved, but it seems that there is little need for me to completely lay out the story here and nowQuoteEndQuote

Full Name: Nairda HanshosAge: 22Birthplace: A small island in the pacific ocean.Physical Appearance: Nairda is tall (6'2") and slender, with light skin, green eyes, and long straight brown hair. She has a thin face and small facial features.Faction: The PreviousPrevious: Sys RensovBio: Being born on the Pacific Ocean to a mother who's native to there and a European father who moved, Nairda was born with the ocean in her blood. At a young age she and her parents moved to the United States, but since Nairda couldn't tolerate life without the sea, they moved again less than a year later. They now reside in British Columbia. Nairda will spend hours swimming, and as result, she got low grades despite her intelligence. She had a job as a swimming instructor before finding her fragment. Nairda is also ambidextrous.Personality: Nairda is a sweet girl who is often called childish for believing in everyone she meets. Though naive, she has a strong heart and will fight for what she believes in.Weapon: Being a Previous, Nairda has her Previous' sword.Style of fighting: Nairda has three styles of fighting. One for speed, one for range and one for defence. While not realising that she has the two styles, Nairda will switch between them whenever she feels it's necessary. The styles are as follows.Speed: Nairda holds her arms straight down in front of her (or to the side, if she's running) palms inwards. She holds one sword upside-down and one normally, causing both swords to face the same way. She then attacks in whatever way necessary, mainly using slashes for the upside-down sword and stabs for the normal one.Range: (I think the chain is long enough. If it's not, you can take this out.) Nairda holds one sword normally in one hand, and in her other, she holds the connecting chain. She spins the chain, letting the free sword swing in circles. She then swings the chain to wherever she needs, allowing momentum and centrifugal force to do most of her work for her, and increasing the range of her swipes. This leads to one problem: if someone blocks the sword. That's where the other sword comes in. It allows her to block long enough to pull her other sword in and switch to another style.Defence: Nairda holds both swords normally, facing a bit out on either side. Using this style, she can block most attacks and unleash effective counter-attacks. This style was created for maneuverability of the arms, and the fact that she's ambidextrous allows her to block and counter with both hands. Nairda will also use this style if she gets really angry, using this style purely to try and rip the guts out of whomever she's mad at. Death: Is that even possible?Love preferences: You decide. It's your st

(EL) I was referring to that profile, indeed, but not your revised version, only Mokona's original.Hmmm... I dunno, Mac. Tarots are a bit of something that I didn't expect? So Maybe I'll warp my head around the concept. Maybe they can be from another timeline or something, or traveled to another timeline to meet the tarot. Well, for any reason, they are certainly not GeoTarots....Oh and Mokona.... saw your request on Previous, and I guess it is hard to see who they are. I thought I explained them enough in glossary, but I can be a bit.... demanding. So here's the rundown on Pervious:Well, out of ones left (6), there are... well, read in the glossary for names. They are the power of.... Archive (spellcraft [for all intents and purposes, I use that word. The actual word I'd use would be.... universe programming or the likes]), vitality (regen, health, etc), Nervous (emotion), Corruption (well, 'tis complected, but the ability is like being able to use "convert" on... any... matter), Sanctuary (protection, etc.), and Tomorrow (usually has something to do with predictions... like farseers.)And... well, there is mentioning in the glossary so I won't say, but each of the Previous has a underlying emotion for the Bearer (not rly important, but a thumbs up if by any chance you see your character acting weird...). Another mentioning... remember that each of the Previous is represented by a sword, so I dunno how much would your character's "weapon" be u

Here's a thumbs up... the only two-handed uberlong sword in the group is Jernoitce, and he is sorta unavailable... Asynauct, on the other hand, has shield-ish sword, as in it is a diamond-shaped sword with its edges shapening and narrowing into a blade. Okay, if you want to keep your fighting style, Mokona, I'm afraid that you have to switch swords. I think Craveh (rapier) or RocNoit (one-sided broadsword of DEATH) would be more suitable for your character. I think the two should be able to incorporate the style rather well. Otherwise.... well, Asynauct with another sword would be.... permissible. Yah, I see how you can play that. If you don't want to change the previous's ability, let me know. I think I'm cool with any. (Just glad that you didn't choose Sys Rensov... two sword connected by a chain... yah, imagine using THAT with your fighting style

I think we need more Strangers.Name: Sapphire GremmAge: Lets say late twenties. (29?)Birthplace: Moscow, Russia (moved to Paris, France when 14.)Physical Appearance: She is a sweet looking Russian woman; her black hair makes he green eyes stand out. She is shorter than most Women but, stronger than most men. She still is fairly thin but not fragile. Sapphire wears skinny jeans that are too large for her and always has a hoodie on. Her choices of clothing do not complement her overly fashionable short hair. She hates how make-up feels on her skin so she avoids it. Her only accessory is a locket with a picture of her dad in it. Faction: StrangersTarot: Star preferably. My secondary choices: The Tower, High priestess, Empress, Hanged manBio: Sapphires story is a great example of prejudice based on nationality. Being born in Russia she had a life of the bare minimum. Furthermore, she never had any true identity. She never thought of things like justice, righteousness, or even love. She truly lived for her country, nothing more and nothing less. And she was content with this life. Then, the day came. The day where everything she new was turned upside-down. The day she was taken away from the country she new. Taken away from all she ever knew, from her friends, her life, and her country; her Russia. And at that moment she wasn't a Russian. She wasn't anything other than a fugitive. When they arrived in France, her parents immediately started looking for jobs. After they had found a job they found a house and enrolled Sapphire. In the school, kids teased her because of her voice. The kids constantly told her to go back where she came from, and that a commy doesn't belong in their school. She never got any friends. Having little income and education, her parents couldn't help her get in college. She applied for ever scholarship she could. She never went to college. She became a secretary for a a small daycare center. While working at the day care center, Sapphire thought she met the perfect man. A man who would take care of her. She trusted this man; she trusted John. After meeting, John and her immediately started to date, but when she got pregnant with his baby John fled. Sapphire started to become even more cold. She regretted her whole life; she thought she should have never left Russia. With a baby, Sapphire started to get mounds of debt: medical bills, credit cards, the rent, insurance, etc.. Then, Nox came and offered Sapphire and her baby refuge from this world. In a sanctuary; in his world. (Maybe someone else should recruit her?)Personality: Sapphire is mothering but cold at the same time. She gets very attached to people she cares about, and would kill anyone if they threatened any of the strangers. She never draws attention to herself, but is opinionated. Weapon: I'm just gonna say rapier. You can choose the details about the sword; it's not like this one represents anything.Fighting Style: I'll be fine with any, but I prefer if it has to do with dodging with flips or something. Death: Doesn't matter. Kill her if you want. Love preferences: Do as you wish. I don't know the characters that a going to be chosen. (Or are you talking about sexual orientation?)Um, I may post a couple more of these. I really only posted this one because no one seemed to be posting for the strangers. On another note, I need to get back to noah/nick. His whole bio section was really just what I wanted to include in one like this ones. I may do that tonight. Depending on my mood. Anyway, have fun writing the story. (Uggh, this character is really not creative enough, but I guess you need 'normal' characters too.)EDIT: I have re-done Summer's bio.

Worrmot..... 'tis the most mysterious one. The reason I say this is I don't think I have Worrmot solidified yet.

Full Name: Lani YezmenNickname: Lanlan (by his mother), Yezmen/Yezzi (by everyone else)Age: Between 19 and 21Birthplace: Toronto, CanadaPhysical Appearance: Yezzi is slightly shorter than average, but is very well built. His blue eye conflicts drastically with his 'black' skin. His other eye was taken out due to infection. Yezzi cuts his black hair at medium length, letting it hang over his face to disguise his eyes.Faction: StrangersTarot: TemperanceBio: Yezzi's mother left Africa to be with his father, whom she met when he was visiting his family. Shortly after Yezzi's birth, it was discovered that his eye was infected. His father left immediately after the operation, leaving his mother debt-free but alone. Unable to handle the pressure, she moved back to Africa to be with her family. Yezzi loves his mother more than life itself, and will do anything for her. He first crossed timelines at 13, and wondered how this could benefit his mother. He thought he found his answer when he was scouted at 17 and has been working his way up the ranks since. He was regarded as a genius of battle by his peers in the lower ranks, and prefers not to use his tarot if at all possible.Personality: Yezzi is extremely arrogant and looks down on everyone he meets. He continues to look down on them until put in his place. His personality changes when he's with his mother, and he turns polite and kind. He acts this way even if his mother has guests, but he makes sure that they know their place with him.Weapon: Chain Sickle, ClawsFighting Style: Yezzi uses his chain sickle exclusively, using his claws only after fusing with his tarot. As they are short (they reach up to his knuckles), the claws are often unseen, so his opponent thinks he is just initiating hand-to-hand combat. Unfortunately, he has no 'style' of martial arts, so he often catches his opponent off guard; and with his self-training, he is quite skilled at fighting,Death: I don't care.Death Scenario: Yezzi is called back by his mother, and tries to quit timeline-hopping. The Strangers however, don't see his point of view. They therefore launch an attack on her, only to have Yezzi sacrifice himself for her. In his dieing moments, Yezzi is told off by his mother, and is able to die happy. Temperance has died before this.Love Preferences: None.I feel that I need to explain Temperance here:Temperance looks like a living white marble statue of a woman. She has healing powers, as well as the power to fuse with her partner to give them superhuman capabilities and rapid healing. She can stay in this state for a quarter of the time she can continue to stay summoned, or sacrifice herself for a full twenty minutes of fusion. Being part of her partner, she can contact him across timelines, so when Yezzi leaves her with his mother, she can contact him if his mother is ill or in danger. She is the only person other than his mother that Yezzi didn't immediately look down on, but he'd never admit it and is constantly trying to act like he d
