You can't have a Soldier of Light RP without Jade, so I return!

Name: Akatsuma Jade "Orange Death"
Side: Light
Race: Human
Age: 25

Appearance: Jade stands at 5'7" and has a slim build. She has black hair and brown eyes, her hair usually left down reaching the middle of her back. She wears standard ninja garb: black pants with mesh, black wrap shirt with mesh underneath, fingerless gloves and ninja sandals. Her swords are sheathed diagonally on her back and across her lower back. She wears light black armor over her clothing. The only hint of color on her is an orange scarf that she wears to conceal her face. While the scarf itself has no magical properties, it seems to as it has been with her for many countless battles and has not torn once.

Weapons: An orange handled Kodachi "Ichi" and a black handled Wakizashi "Nii."

Special Skill: Jade can call upon wind magic. This can manifest itself in many different ways, but she usually uses it to increase her speed and agility to superhuman levels. At her peak she can move fast enough that she appears invisible. She can also use her magic to mask her scent from demons and fire bolts of wind to knock her opponents around.

History: Jade was born into a clan of ninja assassins. She was trained from the time she could walk in the arts of stealth, speed and death. Her clan was one of no allegiances, and just took jobs for money and not political gain. When she became a teenager, she was tested in the ways of her clan and was chosen with a select few to be given the gift of magic. She was taught the ways of the wind kami, her clan shaping her into a deadly fast assassin. As her reputation grew in notoriety, she was given the nickname of "Orange Death," as her victims would only see a blur of her orange scarf before their demises. Her clan does hold one allegiance with honor, they are sworn to help and protect the wielder of the Ragaki. There have been many who have come to the village pretending to be the new hero of light, and all have fallen before the village's test: face their most deadly assassin in combat and survive.

[lazy man]

Holy crap, Raiden, you really DID make things explode! ...well, uh, might as well get Suzume back in on this. Just gotta go nab his profile and cause me some 'splosions!

Unless, of course, I can think of something new before then.... Nah, gotta stay lazy for this. MIDTEEEERMS!

Technically, special skills can mean a wide variety of things for a human, so yeah having large amounts of resources on hand seems like a viable special skill. So long as I don't see an army being requisitioned we should be good. So you're TENTATIVELY approved, until I see the full profile.

Julford: Approved, and you wouldn't be the first time we had a neutral character who liked to switch sides. *coughKrylocough*. And the general magic is approved, so long as you realize that by not specifying a specific magic, your general magic is going to be pretty weak. A fireball to the face is still effective as a fireball to the face, but you're not going to be summoning a vortex of fire like someone else probably can. But otherwise it's good.

Steel Shadow: Looks good to me, though honestly seeing as it's a lot of PvP that'll be going on, everyone has a slight weapon immunity of "not going to break" just because people will get upset if the other team makes their weapon shatter. HOWEVER, someone's special skill may be the ability to shatter a weapon, and the general immunity won't protect you from that.

Nagel: The character itself looks good, except the limit on special skills is technically 2, while your character has three. I was going to be lenient on the speed as demons tend to be physically stronger than humans, but then you said it can move at the speed of sound which seems very specific. So right now he has Super Speed, Hypnotism, AND Venom, and I'm gonna need you to pick two of those in order for me to approve it.

Menarker: Sounds good. Just don't pick on a single person on the Dark Side, as I don't want PMs of "He's making my character ineffective all the time!" Good character, just seems easily abuseable. Approved.

Batgirl: approved, since while your one skill is pretty nice, you made it take up both slots so I'll let you go with it.

Lazy: Approved. Just because you've played the guy before and he's fun to have around.

[rapter200]

Name: Osech Sulran
Side: Light
Race: Human
Age: 38

Appearance: Sulran stands at 6'1?. He is a very muscular man from years training with his weapon of choice. He wears a gray hooded cloak so as to hide his weapon from curios eyes. His hair is brown but slightly graying on the outskirts. His eyes are the color of silver and have a look that would unnerve many.

Weapons: Sulran carries with him a single weapon, it is a revolver modeled after the Pfeifer Zeliska .600 Nitro Express revolver named Kore Wa Desu (It is death, これ　は　デス). On-top of the already incredibly large caliber of the Revolver the rounds can very quite a bit from ones that are designed to explode a few seconds after hitting something, throwing shrapnel everywhere, to rounds that are solid slugs.


Special Skill:

Super Human Strength: This is needed to be able to wield his revolver one handed and to handle the recoil.

Dead eye accuracy: Through years of practice Sulran has gained god like accuracy, he can shoot dimes thrown in the air from a hundred meters away. Consequently his eyes seem to have some kind of magical aura about them.

History: At the age of 15 Sulran started his career as a bounty hunter, he wasn't very good at it at first, he always somehow managed to lose his captives on the way back to collecting. But as he grew older his skill grew as well. Soon he was working high level bounties, but no matter what he always bring them in dead, one thing he learned to do while growing up to make sure they couldn't run away. In the 23 years as a bounty hunter he developed great accuracy from long range with his weapon of choice. He inherited Kore Wa Desu when his father was killed by a demon. Sulran does not trust any demon, no matter what side they are on. Though he will begrudgingly fight beside one if he needs to.

[DanteFalcon]

Name: Motou Akai
Side: Dark (I'm willing and able to switch this character's side with little effort pre-RP should sides be imbalanced)
Race: Demon of Blood
Age: 214 (Appears to be around 30ish)

Appearance: Motou is extremely vain in his appearance, strangely enough, taking great pride in looking handsome almost all the time. His hair is neat, medium length and dark brown, with black eyes. His skin is slightly tanned and his body, while not appearing to be a body builder is extremely well toned, similar to a distance runner. He wears a crimson cloak, long enough to brush slightly over the ground and to completely conceal his hands from an onlooker, thus hiding his gauntlets. The sword sheath is diagonal on his back, hilt showing over his right shoulder. The hood to his cloak is almost always down to show off his appearance.

Weapons:

Elbow length metal gauntlets with spiked knuckles: They are as stated. These are his usual weapon in smaller engagements and when he wants to watch people suffer.

Great Sword: His weapon for larger engagements. Looks like fairly plain iron except for the blood channel running down the middle to the hilt. Only magic about it is a spell to make it harder to break.

Special Abilities: Motou is a demon of blood. His abilities are based around manipulating his own blood in an offensive and defensive manner.

Blood Spike: His blood by nature is always connected spiritually and magically to his body and is his most lethal weapon. He can shape his blood into two foot long spikes, from wherever they currently are. However the spike in question always goes away from the matter it is sitting on. (If it's on the ground, the spike shoots up. If it's on a person's skin it points away from their body). This can also be used to create rather nasty pointed protrusions from his body.

Bloody Life: Upon consuming blood from anything but himself his body converts it into life energy which is then used to heal and regenerate wounds that he acquires. It can go as far as to reconnect severed limbs though his power isn't great enough to regrow a limb at this point in time.

History: Motou was born in a hospital. Needless to say the hospital wasn't very good or sanitary. At one point in time there was an illness that raced through the patients, killing many. Due to the lack of sterilization practices, the disease remained for years and the hospital would have gone out of business except that it was much less expensive than most other places at the time. He was born from the number of deaths and illnesses that plagued the hospital over the years. It is now completely abandoned, all of the employees found themselves brutally stabbed on the night of his birth. And if the humans lose this war then he will find so many more people to play with. And near immortality from the blood to drink.

Since you say demons are by default physically superior when compared to humans, and you already gave me a finger by mashing both venom skills into one, I guess I'll just drop sub-sound speed attacks.

Though to be honest, my original plan was to group them all in a single skill called "Snake Skills", cause technically, if you simply enlarged a cobra to that size, it'd get all those abilities, and from there it's a matter of demonizing them as the "second skill".

[PyrosNine]

Name: Nine Senses, Pyros. Err... Pyros. Name Pyros, title "Of the Nine Senses."
Side: Team Kickass. (light)
Race: Half Demon
Age: (25)
Appearance: (If Jesus, Cloud Strife, and Tibarn from Fire Emblem did a tri-fusion-ha!) Wears an almost buddhist priest outfit that is white and brown, while wearing a blue sash over his shoulder and side. Wears an indo-european blade at his side, sheathed, and wears pieces of armor over his left shoulder, right knee, and right arm. Hair is long and brown, eyes are brown, and underneath his clothes and visible up to his neck, are alot of bandages.

...oh, and he has wings.

Weapons: (Pyrosian Masamune: Fairly normal sword aside from being unbreakable, somewhat blunt and unbalanced.)

Special Skill: Pyrokinesis obviously, but also possesses the ability to hone his will into a blade, making it as sharp his will is strong. In essence, this means that with enough willpower, he can cut through anything.

With wings, he can fly, but this really isn't that special of a skill.

History: Was found as an orphan by an old hermit lady high in the mountains, supposedly so high up that if one climbed any higher they would meet God, and raised according to her virtues. One day however, the old woman died and Pyros found himself thrust into the world of men and demons, finding both hostility and trouble wherever he went, as the winged traveler.

Extra: Pyros is technically the fire kami, having just bested Ifrit and having had his old sword broken, broken many bones in his body, and suffering injuries that will never truly heal. He begins the RP just leaving the presence of a peculiar human smithy who fixed his sword and tended to his wounds, as well as teach him some swordsman concepts.

However, he is still recuperating from his wounds and is heavily bandaged.

Personality: Too nice for existence. Dislikes fighting. Dislikes killing. Doesn't step on ants. Enjoys hugs and tea.

Demons on average do tend to be faster or stronger than the average human, but a well-trained human would be able to keep up.

And I don't know if the RP forum has changed since the last time I ran a game, but an ST saying what does and doesn't go isn't considered "giving the finger", it's considered "enforcing the rules of his game".

Edit: Pyros, you're approved. DanteFalcon you're approved, though be ready to switch to the Light side given the going pattern of Dark Team players. Rapter, you're approved but I'm going to be keeping an eye on you. Nothing personal, just the flags of "dark hooded cloak", "gun", and "human with glowing eyes" are sending up alarm flags. I'm sure you'll do fine.

[Toastburner B]

Crap. I have some errands to run right now, but I will get a profile up later tonight...once I figure out if team light or team dark needs more people.

So, yeah...another recruit in the placeholder army.

I think a misunderstanding occurred here(or occurs now).
I meant finger as in that saying about a small favor leading to abuse, I probably translated it from my language too directly.
"Give them a hand and they'll take the whole body", I think that's how it goes, so I meant a hand, not a finger.
