Not that it's much of a big deal, it's just that as far as gold and silver things in these medieval settings that we have... aren't too realistic. But then again, we are in an RP so *shrugs*
Ivory bows, better make sure your character is strong. domokun The reason why most bows were made of wood back then is because they were more flexible, allowing for the general bow shape. And it helps a LOT when you're trying to string up a bow. The gold things, generally people who killed a lot didn't really care about looks since their things ended up all bloody anyways, and were more concerned with material that would be the best to kill something. Gold *is* softer since it's a metalloid and also more expensive. Just saying, a lesson in history! ^^
Gold is also asking to get your crap stolen if you don't watch it carefully. ninja Not that anyone here would dream it, just pointing out historical references. 4laugh So you don't need to change anything (unless your leader says to), we're just pointing out the realism in RPs... if there is any. S'all in good fun and cheer, since it *is* a role play after all. And I highly doubt they had magic back then, lol.
So as long as you have fun. ^_^ Just know that some people might take the properties of gold seriously.

Name:Kritos
Gender:Male
Height: 5'9"
Weight:120 lbs.
Age:23
Clan:Sky
Element:Lightning
Begining Spell: Thunder
Weapon: A sword crafted from concentrated electricity. When being used it can cut through virtually anything.
Personality: Very intelligent like his father, he does lack motivation, has a very short temper and gets mad easily. Usually very content but if hes moody stay away or he might just blow. A closet pervert. If you have a good body don't expect him to look at your eyes.
Class: Monk, uses magical spells using electricity along with using hand-to-hand combat to aid him when needed. Usually aims to make open wounds to slowly disable the opponent to go in for a massive finish.
Appearence: Long jet black hair, ice blue eyes, large trench coat
Bio: A long time ago there was a disruption in the balance between good an evil. Evil was trying to rule the world as usual. One man stood up against them. The legendary Zol the Thunder Percussionist. He fought against all villains and was a hero in Gaia. But then a sudden illness struck and he died. Thankfully he had a son. His name was Kritos. The son of a legend. After many years of training with what skills had been passed down to him he learned lightning magic. This proved effective in trying to join the clan wars.
RP Sample: Kritos high up in the air looking down at the people below. Wondering if they still remembered his father. Would he become a legend just like him. Live up to his name and become a hero of his land. He dove down like a rocket. Speeding so fast bright flames covered him as he made contact with the ground. Kritos has landed safely. But there was a large sized crater next to him. It was always something he like to do when he was bored. And he was indeed bored looking for some action.....

-ox( Evangeline Noire )xo-
Profile One: MADE UP CHARACTER CLASS
Name: Pandora (Pan-Dora) "Dora" Montague (Mon-Ta-Goo)
Gender: Female
Clan: Death
Class: Black Mage/Shaman: Basically magic users who depend on magic more than other attributes, but that not meaning that they cannot be taught the art of weapon use, their magic power and MP would be higher than melee/physical offence, defence. Although very experianced users can find themselves being average all round with enough tutorledge.
Element: Unholy
Personality: Pandora is wise and compassionate compared to most (of the) Death Clan(ners). She finds herself as a word of reason, although, as an underling, has no real power to do as she wishes, although tries her best to be a word of reason without being throttled by the higher power. She often comes out with odd riddles and confusing sentences, but in the end once encrypted, it has some significance. Although her heart beats with compassion and some care towards the world, it doesn't mean that it doesn't have a stony barrier, her mind rules above heart so it is shielded and hidden to stop herself from acting out of feelings rather than her dedication to her people and peers. 'Dora has a tendency to feel left out of the crowd but is also one to be generally heartless as it's needed of herself, she doesn't shy away from a fight, and doesn't shy away from confrontation. However, she feels insignificant to do those two things with the higher powers and tries her best to stay on their good side, like sucking up to them, really; although, however low in rank she may be, her words of wisdom usually cannot be avoided, and sometimes they end up a great help, although uncredited.
Pandora, like her name in greek mythology suggests is quite the curious one, and ends up sometimes in tight situations and dangerous ones too. She tends to avoid the opposite gender unless it's someone of import who is unavoidable because she is a shy person, (also) she is rather withdrawn like a wallflower. Finding the clan only full of bad, sadistic people, she makes sure she is not taken advantage of, even though for some women, sexuality is a power. And sometimes that fact has it's uses for when times are desperate.
'Dora likes to stay unattatched to men and women alike, causing that to be a con of hers. To be lonely and be upset about it, but for now the reason for her social reluctance is unexplained, possibly she waits for someone to bother to delve into her past, her history, an explaination for her sometimes eccentric and/or withdrawn behavior.
History: Pandora's history is of little significance to the present day, through her child life she found herself being surrounded by magic users, by spiritualists, no doubt she caught on and ended up the woman today, but anyways. Her mother and father raised her from birth until the age of eighteen, when she left the next and flew free. In those years she learnt to walk, talk, write. And most of all learn to use magic and incantations, once every blue moon learning something outside of her ordinary such as fighting, which seems to be the norm of the world today. Back there, in her quaint, secluded village, they worked and protected themselves by intelligence and almost Godly powers; soon having learnt her share but leaving some details out for her own, personal path to self discovery, she found herself coming of age at eighteen.
Pandora considered her choices, all but one meant that she would stay in the village, in which every family was in some what was related to her, which for once, seemed disgusting, making her the oddball. So she packed her things, said goodbye and left on her journey, thinking of the things that she could learn outside, in the big wide world, naive from the fact it wasn't as it was cracked up to be, that she would have to end up fighting for survival. Last she heard from the village, her parents were old, their other children married to the other families, so they were without a loss with just Pandora leaving the nest; finding her way around, forcing herself to fight, she found herself being lured to the calling of war and found herself ending up on the darker side of it all.
With death she learnt the magics of the darker beings, in which she could develop, and once more, continue discovering what she wanted to do with herself; she grew to have an attachment to her clan and soon her thoughts of ever going on the road again left her, here was home, somewhere maybe evil, twisted, full of the screams of tortured beings. But she found that the longer she stayed, the more she got used to it; the more she got used to it, the more she wanted to be like them; and eventually, the more she wanted to be like them, in the end she became one of them... She thereafter cut all ties she had with her family, her homeland; as now, with the clan she dedicated herself to, she felt more at home than she did back in her secluded village, where their traditions were basically inhuman and disgusting in her eyes.
So therefore, never on her mind is the thought of leaving her haven. Although through all her trials she recieves no reward, her honesty and loyalty is still true. Even when she knows she is nothing but an underling, she uses her wisdom and intelligence to still help guide the higher power (the leaders), may she riddle or may she be blunt, she usually ends up saying something that makes sense.
Appearance: Pandora wears dresses or robes, she's rarely found in trousers in any shape or form, although she has a tendency to wear them only for their practicality on quests and missions. Her hair is the color of copper merged with chocolate mud creating a ruby sheen in the light. Her face is not freckled despite what her hair color would suggest and her eyes are of the deepest, most bottomless sea green-blue. Her lips are plump and a shade of rosy pink and her flesh the color of porcelain with only a slight blush on it; her height is 5'9 but with heeled shoes they can be from 5'10 to 5'11.
'Dora's frame is of the lithe build, she looks incredibly delicate and harmless until provoked into an attack, she isn't incredibly fat or skinny, just slim with the shape of an hourglass, her body is a thing to be proud of, in her mind, but she has her moments of fustration in which she criticizes every inch of her frame, yet on the outside, in the public, outside of her room where she can vent her fustrations; her curved hips and womanly frame is something to adore and gape at in the occasions where she wears something tight beyond a casual robe and roomy dress.
Her clothes are usually of the complimentary colors to her hair and eyes, purples, blues, reds, greens, usually dark colors to bring out her skin-tone. Her feet usually cuddled in confortable shoes, on good occasion she'd wear spike-heeled boots and other garments, but casual is her usual way of attire; casual and pretty. One would also notice that she only dresses her best when going to meet the higher powers, (leaders, commanders) or sometimes when there is a victory to be celebrated.
Other: A tattoo of symbolic patterning goes from the base of her next to the small of her back following the line of her spine. The flesh is somewhat sensitive in the areas where it's marked and usually there can be a reaction from here when it is touched in any way, to cure this remedy whilst on missions, she usually has padding for her back. Some other markings may be on her body, yet they don't stand out as much, so they aren't noticed or talked about.

... wow. Your bio Evangeline... I doubt you have to worry about it being short!
Hm, the two leaders you want are Kuja-san (Death Leader) and Lilthisia (Sky Clan leader) who will ultimately approve (or tell you to make a few modifications) your bio. I have a few tips though, if you wish to take them.
Aaron_SE: Your bio happens to be missing a few things, and Lilthisia will probably ask you for them anyways. You have a history, but what your bio lacks is a description of Kritos' personality. Also, you need to include a class (pick one of three from the list in the spells & bios thread, or make up your own and BE SURE TO WRITE A DESCRIPTION OF IT so that Dark and your leader can clear it.)
Evangeline: Nice class, though does she have any weapon specializaton at all? Other than that, nothing else I noticed.
Oh, you two may or may not want to PM your leaders, depending on how soon you want the reply. *Shrugs* Or if you want critique-ing to occur on a more private scale.

I almost highly doubt I can fit all that into a PM box without something odd and evil occuring. So I'll just leave my profile here to die. whee
Thanks for at least telling me I have nothing major to alter. 3nodding

Hm about the custom class on that character, Evangeline: You say it gets extra MP... that is something you will have to arrange with your Clan leader, because every normal member starts with 100MP base. If you want more, you need to ask your Clan leader (Kujasan for Death) to spend some Clan Points on extra MP for you...

If it is too much to ask of someone, then I shall just keep with the 100MP base, although if it was possible to ever spend some points to make my character more like her created class, I would hope it be considered.

Name: Sykoi Takaji
Gender: Male
Clan: Death Clan
Class: Dark Knight
Desired lvl1 Element: Cold
Personality: Sykoi is usually quiet, sometimes even silent, cold and is laid-back. He's the guy that doesn't really care about little things, he hates drama and just wants to kill. He's a shady guy with a mysterious past and he never kills without a reason, unless he's really angered. (You should watch your back wink )
History: Growing up in a family of thirteen, you would think that life was really fun and a bit crowded, but for Sykoi, it wasn't. He was the third oldest of thirteen and hated his siblings more than anything.
When he was a child, Sykoi was given the name Psycho since he had a complicated disease that the doctors and specialists never found out. The disease was a phase every time Sykoi was extremely angry that he just had a phase of Hell and people suffering. His siblings teased him so much that he was driven to kill his older brother, Harutso.
After his parents found out that he had gruesomely murdered his brother(stabbed him thirteen times), Sykoi was kicked out of the house at the age of 14. Sykoi wandered the streets for 4 weary years until he met his soon-to-be mentor. His name was Jack and he was from England, he was a plain and average English man and appeared to be a good man, but he wasn't. Sykoi taught himself to never be attached to a human, but it was worthless, because everyday Jack would treat him like his own son and give Sykoi the attention that Sykoi always wanted. As years passed by, Sykoi was taught many skills that would help him in his life. When Sykoi was nineteen, Jack mysteriously left him with a note that told him that Sykoi can live his life. So on his 19th birthday, he decided to join the Death Clan.
Appearance: Somewhat resembling Jack, Sykoi is 5'11ft. tall and has a pale and fit body. Although he is strong, he doesn't have muscles bulging out of every organ. He has dark brown wavy hair that comes down to his neck, a necklace made from dark beads that Jack claimed that it came from a voodoo person in Myanmar. The most chilling part of his body is his eyes, oh how those eyes would never look away from you. His dull gray eyes had seen much horror and atrocities that it seemed to remind people of their fears. All in all, Sykoi is a creepy and scary guy that can beat the living crap out of you, both physically and mentally.
Other: (optional)

Hmm. If I do remember correctly, I had submitted a Dark Knight for the Death Clan, long ago. But I never heard anything about it. Hence, why I strayed away from the Clan Wars. I don't even remember how my bio was. I may have to write a new one.

If you have it in your PM backlogs, you could check there. Or if you're ambitious (or don't want to write another one) you can check through the backlogs of these pages. sweatdrop It would help though if you had a bio up here in the current pages even if it's just copy/paste. Makes it loads easier for the leaders and such.
So hm, it looks like three people waiting for Kuja. Speaking of whom, I haven't seen him online recently (though it might just be my hours) so hm.
Eheh... laziness... *looks forlornly at the stack of homework on the desk and cries*
Man, where IS Kuja?
