Just to put my two cents in, Aaron, Elexa and Dark. Even though it may not even be worth that...
If any of you are familiar with the game Dungeons and Dragons, when 3rd Edition came out, they solved the problem of people wanting a Healing/Spiritual class-Fighting class hybrid. The Cleric. They were as useful in Melee as they were sitting in the back, healing others or offering inspiration.
Of course, the cleric used armor and weapons such as maces, axes or flails. But, I think for this RP's sake, you might be able to form-fit it with the monk theme you are looking for. 2 cents drop>

Umm... it's not a healing kind of monk... more the kind of kick-your-a**-unarmed-ninja-style kind of monk... like those guys you see on Discovery Channel who live in a monastery on a mountain and train their body and mind with martial arts.
Monks in this game are more like monks in D&D, not clerics in D&D. Except D&D monks can use weapons like the quarterstaff and kama, but the monk in Clan Wars is unarmed only.
Also, Clerics existed before 3rd Edition. =P

Oh, I know they did, Dark. XP But it wasn't until third ed that they were more melee sufficient. :3

Nerd Fight! How about this?
Quote: Martial Artist, not only is his body a weapon but his mind. Capable of using almost any fighting style with great force this class can also use weapons. Weapons such as Shaolin Spades, Spears,Schmitars,katanas, and others. Thats what I was thinking of.

For some reason, that makes me think of Jackie Chan movies. 3nodding I think I know what you're talking about though. They're proficient not only in unarmed combat, but also armed combat. My friend in wushu uses those kind of weapons (sort of). God I love going to her house. So much fun. -^^-
And really, it just looks like it's a dispute over a name if the classes you're thinking of are different like that.
Katanas though, were mostly almost exclusively used by samurai and other Japanese warrior classes weren't they? sweatdrop

That's all. 3nodding

Martial Artist would be good. The name doesn't matter too much anyway. I just wanted to prevent confusion with the monk class. 3nodding

I'd like a finalized bio first, however after that, everything should be in order.

I'm not the one to judge your profile, only to pick out the obvious errors and rule-breaking details... but I have to ask what is with "not much is known"?
This isn't the first time I see this in a bio. I mean, unless he's got amnesia, surely the guy himself knows for what's going on? And even for characters who do have amnesia (blech!), a bio isn't about what someone knows, it's about what really happened. If noone knows about you, that doesn't mean you don't have a past. Same with appearance. His appearance may be hidden, but that doesn't mean he's the invisible man. Just what does "hidden" mean, anyway? Hidden under what? We knows he wears a shirt, but what else? I assume he's not wearing just a shirt. Also, unless the shirt is huge, I doubt you could hide in it...
Don't mind me, simmz. Just have to express things like this now and then. Like I said, I won't be the one to judge your profile. Kujasan of Clan Death will. At least there is nothing fundamentally wrong with your profile that you need to fix right away, as far as I see right now. 3nodding

Hmm. Kuja still has yet to get back to me about my new Bio. This is what happened last time... I submitted a profile, and even after weeks of waiting around, never heard anything about it. Maybe Gaia Mail is being a 'female-dog'?

Well, if it's training you want you can go to the Clanless RPing thread... it should be down on the list somewhere. If you get lonely RPing by yourself I could get my character to keep you company. mrgreen
About the profile perspective... I know what you mean. Years ago I used to play this MUSH game where the same thing was said... I needed to make a description as if it was another person looking at me. But really, I think it's better to just write a profile as if you were an all-knowing writer (and of course you are, because it's your character. If you haven't made it up, it didn't happen, so you know everything). I think everyone knows that when reading someone else's bio it doesn't mean your character knows everything written in it about the other character...
Anyway, what I'm saying is... I know what you mean. Like I said Kujasan is the one who will tell you wether or not you are accepted into the Death Clan, or if you need to change something.
I shouldn't even be complaining about people's bio becuase mine doesn't even fit the standard bio format rules... but then again, I get to cheat because I'm a mod. razz
Prion: A lot of people aren't being online as much as we all would like. Maybe Kuja just didn't have time to reply yet. If you're really worried about wether or not the mail system ate your message, try sending your bio to me.
Also, I think it's ok to say "b***h". As long as you're not using the word to describe one of the members. xp The Gaia wordfilter option will probably take it out for those who don't like it anyway.
