Greenhorn –[10 Stars]- of The Intrepid Genesis

Ehem.
---
Treasurer -[50 Stars]- of The Intrepid Genesis

I'll try a signup:


Name: Star Charitic

Age: 5 Staryears (1 Staryear = 5 years)

Gender: Considered genderless (it's impossible to tell a Staractise's gender - see appearance)

Race: Staractise (description of race in appearance)

Appearance: Star, like almost all Staractises, are simple in appearance. Their physical outline resembles that of a starfish, and the shade of color and amount of limbs they have determine their status. Star is an average civilian, so hence Star has the typical five legs. However, Star has an unusual shade of purple - a sign of royalty, yet Star's descendants have always been regular citizens - meaning that Star is indeed special. The race of Staractises is quite unique, for lack of a better word. They have, at birth, five limbs, but by the time they are full-fledged adults, they can have as many as ten. They also always have an unusual glowing gem in the center, as a protective area to their heart. Most civilians have a common ruby, but Star has another royalty characteristic: Star's gem is a sapphire, the rarest gem of all. Star is not your average Staractise.

Personality: Star is a caring person, always willing to help. Star can be annoying if it really wants something, but always strives to meet a goal. Star hates it when one of its limbs break because it takes a decent amount of time to grow back, and the limb treatment medicine is disgusting. Star also hates it when someone is mean to another, and as such is defensive. Star loves to negotiate things and as such is studying to be a judge. Star always aspires to be the best in everything it does!

Weaponry: Star rarely goes into physical battles, because Star loves its magical abilities. However, when necessary, Star will figth with its limbs. Star's style of physical attack is to levitate itself and cut into opponents (imagine a gear spinning), damaging them badly. Besides these, Star does not have any weapons. When using its cutting attack, Star can sometimes use extra energy to spin faster. Star can judge a battle or participate. When judging, Star's obvious role is a judge. When actually participating in combat, however, Star's abilities are classified as a magelike role. Because of its's ability to levitate and its shape, Star has decent evasion for a mage. Star has no affinity or greater element, but it excels in water abilities. (Read: Star is a sort of psuedo-water element)

Physical/Magicial Techniques: Star has absolutely no physical techniques. Star's physical makeup and little experience and knowledge as a physical class had caused Star to dismiss its physical abilities. However, Star has many magical abilities. Star, being that it excels in water, can create hydro waves to damage and possibly drown the opponent with water. However, Star can create thunderbolts to damage and possibly paralyze an opponent, though this is rare. Star also has psychihc abilities, including levitation, telekinesis, and the ability to damage opponents with psychic waves. Star can also summon blizzards in the hopes of damage and freezing a limb, and finally, Star can heal itself in battle.

<<Background and Combat Situation in next post>>

I posted this on the Social Board by accident. Could've roasted some nice marshmallows there. - Dark Lord Ultima

Background: Star has, since an infant, been known as a special person. Firstly, when Star was about to be born, its mother died, leaving Star with a slim chance of survival. Star was able to live in the dead body for several hours before Star was finally removed. Star lived with the father for three months before he and the rest of Star's family were eaten by cannibals. Star was forced to remain in hiding for three years. After Star finally came out of hiding, it left for another place. After five months of traveling, Star made it to the capital of the country it lived in. Star, however, was forced to leave because the royal members issued a search warrant for Star due to its color. The king thought Star was mocking them. Star left the country and searched for another home. It finally found one, and relaxed for years. In the meantime, a war was waged on the country Star once lived in. Star didn't bother to respond. They didn't want anything to do with it anyway.

Then, a chance came for Star to prove its worth. The king was captured along with his family. Star saw where they were being held. The villians had made their hideout in Star's village! Star went back there and went to its old house. There, Star found a secret passage. When it followed the route, it popped up in the headquarters! Star rescued the king. Just as they were about to get out, however, a guard spotted Star. A battle insued. Star fended them off and eventually defeated them. When Star brought the royal family back, Star's warrant was gone and it was given a place to live. Star has lived there for the rest of its life. However, about a week ago, Star left the city on a quest to find out why it was a royal color and yet not of any sort of royal family.

Combat Situation: Star entered an abandoned temple. Apparently abandoned by a people long ago, the gold that once had fine luster was now infested with cobwebs. Star cautiously approached the statue in the center. Upon observance of the hands, Star concluded that perhaps the temple was not as lifeless as it had originally thought. There was fresh blood on the hands and a bloody knife on the hands. Star looked at a certain huge containment area and became curious what was inside. It looked as if cobwebs in there had peach tones to them. As Star floated closer, its eyes widened as it witnessed a horrific sight: there were human heads inside the containment area. Star suddenly heard a ghastly moan from one of the corridors. The shadows of the statues suddenly began to move about, and a bit of a cloak stuck out of one shadow retreating away from the place. Star moved forward to examine the shadow when a ghastly voice froze Star in fear. "Leave now, or be banished forever..." called a voice from the center statue.

Suddenly, the ring of an unsheathed sword resonated through the darkness. Star turned to the area where the ring seemed to have originated. The shadow that Star noticed earlier suddenly began to take shape. The shape of a human. "I shall repeat: leave now, or may your soul never leave this place." "What do you mean?" Star asked. Suddenly, a ring of headless ghosts began to circle around Star, barring it from escaping! "It's too late now," the figure said. An abrupt chuckle burst out from the figure following the statement. "The spirits are calling your soul to stay..." The figure threw three daggers at Star, penetrating and banishing three ghosts as they whizzed through the air. Star dodged them by levitating itself. However, a fourth dagger found the sapphire on Star's chest. The sapphire didn't break, nor did the dagger; the dagger's wielder flew back some 10 feet, though. Star became ready for battle as it sent a thunderbolt through the air, aimed for the opponent.

<<Rest on next post>>

<<Continued Combat Situation>>

The thunderbolt struck the man hard, knocking him off his feet and yet another 10 feet back. Star sent four thunderbolts at him. The figure jumped high and dodged all four bolts and narrowly missed the top of Star's head as the dagger sank into the floor, roughly two feet away from Star. Star sent a psychic wave at the man, gripping him firmly and hurting him badly. Star threw him into a statue. The man was very weakened by the attack, but continued to fight otherwise. Star sent a hydro wave at him, but he grabbed a shield and surfed over the wave. He kicked the shield at Star, knocking Star down. The man buried the dagger in Star's right arm. Star uses its telekinesis to lift the shield off it and shove it onto the still cloaked figure, and then pulled the dagger out. Star used its recovering ability to heal itself, then charged all its energy into a powrful blizzard. The man couldn't dodge it, and while the attack left Star very weakened, it froze the man solid! Star's healing couldn't do a thing about its energy, so it left and went to heal at the nearest town.

Lemme ask; do I have to include the combat situation WITH my signup? Because you said respond to it as a duel, and you'll actually duel the person, right? 'Cause I finally finished the final draft of my signup. It's way shorter than the rough draft was, I cleaned it up, got rid of some fluff. I think it's pretty nice. Uhh, so yeah, should I send you my signup, X, and then put my combat situation in this topic, or should I go add the CS to the signup?

One thing I have to ask, though, because I plan to be at the IG for awhile, but I plan to go through multiple characters. Kaggra has a very real, very finite mission in life. Once it's completed (should take months, but still) I would have no more reason to roleplay as him and would like to move onto another character, however I don't wanna lose any stars I may have gained and have to start from Greenhorn rank all over again. Is there a way to retire a character and start a new one without losing stars, etc.?

"In regards to the amount of characters that we can have, are we limited to only one? If so, how do we get more?

Upon acceptance into the Intrepid Genesis, you are allowed one character for the duration of your stay. Once you achieve the rank of Elite with 35 stars, you have the choice of creating a second character if needed. If that still does not satisfy you, you can create a third once you achieve the rank of Paramount with 50 stars.

Although I'm sure you could arrange something with X possibly. That's his jurisdiction though.

I'm not even going to bother reading the rest of that. It was possibly the most drawn out, boring, wordy biography I have ever read. Your ability to write a nice, flowing, easy-to-read bio reflects directly on your RPing ability, and as I read just your appearance I kept tripping over pointless words thrown in there merely to make it long. As I skimmed the others just to gauge how bad this carried on, it never got better. At times, it felt like you were trying to stab me in the eyes with your fustian.

.......


Er, being a walki- talk- whatever the hell your starfish-alien-thing does to communicate and travel. Also, how tall is it? Where exactly did it come from, how did it get to IG? Why does it fight? Am I the only one that finds a bunch of (teenage) mutant ninja starfish bouncing and spinning around funny? Sure your "Star" character had psychic powers, but since yours is a whole new race, I'd think you should really describe that very thing in detail. How much variation is there when it comes to developing combat abilities? How do they live? Are they underwater? Can they live on land? Frankly, and this is completely opinion, its all ludicrous. But it could work I suppose, if you make it more believable. And, this again is opinion, the whole star theme is dumb. Well, at least I think his name shouldn't have 'star' in it, much more being his first name. I declare it dumb, all of it.

That's not what I'm talking about. I mean retiring one character and not using it anymore, and completely replacing it.

That was a bit cruel.

And THAT was unneccessary.

So it's too long? I'm not sure I can get any shorter, I tried to add a flair. I could have just said...
"Kaggra is six foot one. He has shoulder-length, wavy white hair and green eyes. His skin is tanned and he wears white linen pants and a shirt. He wears a belt on the pants which has two pouches. The inside of his vest has pockets.
He has four weapons; a sword, staff, claws and a special whiplike weapon. The sword is three feet long, has a red handle and is called Fenris. The staff is called the Doki Staff and is seven feet tall and wood-colored. The claws are each a dull gray metal color and clip onto the back of his belt. The whip is a length of cloth eight inches wide, twelve long, that can extend according to his will."
But that's freaking boring. I wrote my signup as if I were writing a novel, not diagnostic statistics. Wait, you keep saying bio. Is the biography as in the background too long, or the whole thing?

Ahh, I see, I think X may be a bit angry at me for dissing the combat situation, heh. Anyway, I really think you're wrong on this one, so let's let the people decide. People were already excited about my rough physical description.

---
Standing at six feet and one inch, Kaggra is a dark-skinned desert person. His shallow eyes are a glimmering emerald color, like so many fields of grass. His shoulder-length hair is bright white, with no bangs in front, hanging messily behind his head like a whitewater river, cascading off the edge of a cliff. His cheekbones are particular; gazing at him as he bows his head, they look low-set and mongrel, but with his head held high his face looks more eloquent. His nose is small but not to the point of being freakishly so, and his eyebrows are thin, like two wispy strips of cloud adorning his forehead. His lips are unusually large and full for a male, adding an air of femininity to his already lofty appearance. Despite whether a person finds these facial features attractive or repulsive, all could agree upon the sorrow in his jewel-colored eyes. It is the distant look, like that of a convicted murderer who has spent ages locked up and has since become intensely remorseful for his crimes. He looks ashamed to be alive, however there is a miniscule gleam of hope in his glassy stare, hidden deep away in the pools of his pupils. His expression is often one of powerful longing, adding a damsel-in-distress quality to his presence. His ears, while largely human in appearance, are slightly different shaped on the inside; rather than the harsh curves of norm, the folds of cartilage and skin have a more flowing look, like rolling hills rather than crumpled paper. This acts to accent his teardrop earlobes. Kaggras smooth neck leads perfectly into his hairless, well-defined chest. Rather than muscular and statuesque, his body is toned, his strength just hinted at as opposed to loudly declared. His broad back is sun beaten and labor-worn, and his lean arms (and underneath them) and legs are shaven clean as is so common with desert people, because sand can cause hygiene problems to furry bodies. The palms of his hands and bottoms of his feet are calloused from years of repetitive work and walking barefoot to the point where he could crush glass in his hands or walk on broken seashells without so much as a scratch. His finger and toe nails are clipped as short as they can be, and there is a curious, spider-shaped burn scar right where his right shoulder meets the front of his chest.

The garb Kaggra wears is extremely simple and purely functional. Though he goes barefoot, there are multiple strips of reddish leather, each about four inches wide and three feet long, wrapped around his legs from ankle to knee, each fastened to the previous one by small brass S-hooks, appearing as lanterns shining out of unsynchronized windows up a spiraling tower. His legs, which look like those of an athletic runner, are covered with white linen pants that extend to just below his knees and are held to his waist by a brown, leather belt that is thin, though durable, and almost two inches wide, fastened by a dull and simple, square-shaped copper buckle that appears dirty as it is never shined, though purposefully as reflective metal would become hot to the touch under the blazing desert sun. Hanging to one side of the belt, around Kaggras left hip is a small, fist-sized pouch made of the same material as what holds it in place, albeit a softer form, and tied off by a white drawstring. On the opposite side of the belt is another pouch that is identical save for that it is five times the size of the previous one. In the middle-rear of the belt are four U-shaped hooks of dull gray metal with blunt tips, in two close pairs of equal distance from each other (about five inches). In the direct middle of the two sets of two hooks, the leather extends then folds in on itself to form a loop that is crooked, facing to the right, without disturbing the general integrity of the belts structure. The other piece of clothing Kaggra wears is a loose vest of the same material and color as his pants. It covers up the scar on his chest but not much else, and it doesn’t close up or fasten together at all. As opposed to clothing, this vest (which doesn’t even extend past his navel) is used to carry small objects, as the inside is lined with pockets of various sizes and visibility. What is stored within is anyone’s guess. Being a nomad, you’d think he’d carry more things (personal items, bedding, a backpack at least) but Kaggras philosophy is to work when he’s hungry, sleep when he’s tired and travel when he’s neither.

I've checked extensively, there are few gramatical errors. Length is the only real problem, and I think it's damn good how it is. The only thing I could see to improove is Kaggras background. It's largely unneccessary and accounts for like, half of the entire bio. I just put it for fun, really.

I'm tempted to just pick up and leave right now 'cause of your attitude, but the IG seems like a fun idea so I'll ignore how much of a jerk you're acting like, X, and try again. I was interested in IG over the Dojang because this seemed more professional, but you're acting childish right now.

Gimme more specifics on which parts to fix. I think the physical description is superb, the personality is nice, the weapon descriptions are just right. The technique descriptions could be reworked, especially that last one is too long. Almost all of the background could be omitted. I could shorten it to only include a brief description of his life that directly relates to why Kaggra's in Kotir.

Look, as opposed to just bashing the description, I'm going to give you a completely opiniated view of what I think. I'm going to try to be as fair as possible, but at the same time please understand that the IG has standards that we try to keep higher than the average faction, and this can be interpreted as being snobbish, it really isn't, it's just that we have high standards.

With that out of the way, let me say it is generally decent, really it is. What it lacks in is not personality, or descriptiveness, but just simple directness. Especially in two parts you go through extraordinarily pointless parts that could easily be reworded or made so they aren't so overwritten. These two parts here serve no purpose other than making a pass at sounding more literate than you actually are (no offense, thats what it makes it sound like).

It's fluff. There's no purpose in it. The first one beats around the bush without GOING anywhere. The second one is simply unneeded eye candy. While you don't have to be "boring" in your description, you do the opposite here by being so grand it actually becomes less engaging. And while it is very abstract, it is so much so that it becomes ridiculous and is easy to disregard. Flashy words do not make a good description. What you need here is to be direct and precise. You're trying to paint a picture when you should be trying to take a photograph. The photograph isn't perhaps as visually grand as the painting, but remember that the best photograph can be just as remarkable as the best paintings.

X forwarded me your character bio, Simba, and I'd like to say a few words about the combat sample.

(I hope I understood your explanation of the combat situation correctly. You mentioned an explosion, but never said where it came from or when, only that it sent a jet of air rushing towards the character. Also, this does NOT represent my average roleplaying/dueling ability; you gave me VERY little to work with and there is absolutely no plot behind this, nor is there any reason to be descript about Kaggra. I felt this arduous and did it just to get it over with; little effort was put into it, I just want to get onto the roleplaying where I WILL be putting effort. I feel this redundant, because what, this is to test a persons abilities to roleplay, right? I think the entire current IG topic on the RP&FF board has already shown that a persons signup sheet is a great indicator of how they'll duel. Just a suggestion, though I do realize that it probably DOES deter people from randomly signing up whom have no REAL intent to become an active member of the IG.)

Combat samples are left open-ended on purpose. It is a measure of the duelist's creativity as well as writing skill. You accomplished very little of each. Regardless of your personal feelings on the subject, this is our measure of how you will duel. Whatever "disclaimer" you put is fairly meaningless. Perhaps I believe a combat sample is all that's needed and the sigh up sheet is redundant? Would I be accepted with a poor sign up sheet?

On a more real word basis, would a firm hire someone who didn't put their whole effort into a certain part of a project because they felt it was "redundant"? Would a college accept someone who believed that grades showed ability and the personal essay was "arduous"?

Your committment to all aspects of our sign up sheet is an important part of the process.

Name: Sengard Rauthir

Age: 3801

Gender: Male

Race: Arcon

Class: Bard

Arcon Description: This was inspired by Starcraft… (READ: slightly ripped off from >_> <_<) Arcons have purple skin, are tall, lean, and have pupilless eyes. They have no nose, ears, and a flap of skin permanently covers their mouth opening. They have three toes and three fingers on each hand and foot. Other than that, they’re humanoid looking. They also have an extremely long lifespan, generally seven or eight millennia. I’ll be more detailed for Sengard’s appearance.
Arcon Culture: The Arcons are militaristic, and have a monarchy-based government. They are also extremely technologically advanced. There is a family of royals and they basically run the entire planet of Arca. The Arcons gain resources, food supplies, and other basic needs, by conquering other nearby planets, taking what they need and bringing it back to Arca. All the young are either trained to go into the military, or as a Bard. It’s a simple cultural system, but it gets the job done.
Arcon Classes: There are two main Arcon “classes”: The Paladins and The Bards. The Paladins are the warrior Arcons. They are trained heavily in melee combat with a weapon of choice given at the beginning of training. This is usually a staff, scythe, or two blades which wind up getting surgically attached, replacing the hands. The Paladins are almost completely given to fighting and generally become extremely proficient at their weapon. They are also lightly trained in a form of energy manipulation, which most on other worlds would call magic.

Due to the Arcons’ warrior culture, the Bards also receive weapon training, but they rarely get the surgical blades. The Arcons believe that all members of their race should be proficient in battle, as a testimony of their strength. Their fighting training is mainly with the Melthye energy, rather than melee weapons. The Bards are not bards in the classical sense, wandering around singing magnificent tales. Rather, they take the place of the clergy. That is, the Arcons take their legends and stories very seriously, remembering them almost as other societies learn the doctrine of their religion. They are part historian; they keep records of great Arconian heroes, wars, and quests. They are part storyteller, they learn the ancient tales of virtue and valor and pass them down, and inspiring the battle hardened Paladins to fight ever harder for the glory of Arca. In battle, they would seem mage-like, knowledgeable in the ways to manipulate their life force, the energy known as Melthye.

Appearance: Sengard stands at about 7’1, tall for humanoids, but not very tall compared with some of the more outlandish, giant races. He has a lean, humanoid-like physique, with clearly defined muscles that appear anatomically similar to humans. Quite different from humans, however, he has light purple skin. He has the three trademark toes and fingers of his race. His head is shaved except for a small, long strip of thick, shining, white hair directly on top of his skull tied behind him in a ponytail. His eyes are just two, white, glowing spheres embedded in his head. These tend to dim when he rests, and the glow almost fades entirely when he sleeps. When he is subjected to stimuli, usually in battle, they flare up with an intense glow. He has no eyes, nose, or visible mouth opening just like the rest of his race. The lack of facial features make it difficult to read his facial expression, but there are times when one can clearly see sorrow and longing in his lidless eyes. He has a white scar that runs along the top of the left side of his head, curving around his eye and stopping just below it.
He wears a dark purple, hooded cloak when out and about, generally with the hood out. This cloak reaches to his feet, effectively hiding his size, age, and species to the untrained eye. While it seems large and made of thick fabric, the fabric is very airy, so the wearer doesn’t usually find himself too hot. In case of a snow, it’s still thick enough to keep heat in. Arcons rarely get cold as it is, due to their only inner organ being blazing hot energy. The cloak has a strange rune-like emblem on the back, the symbol of a master bard on Arca, the Arcon home world. Underneath he is generally either shirtless, his torso having the same light purple skin as his head, or wearing a light loose fitting black shirt. He wears loose-fitting, black silk pants held up by a thick red cord. The cord has white runes on it, Arconian in origin, proclaiming him an Arcon of noble birth. The pants have silver runes, which tell the Arconian world that he is a Bard. He generally goes shoeless, as Arcons have thick skin, exposing his three-toed feet.

Personality: The solitude he has gone through would make most anti-social, forgetting how to interact with others, having been separated for so long. Sengard has undergone an opposite affect. Being stranded on a completely human continent, he has been shunned for his strange, and slightly scary appearance. He longs dearly for companionship. He is angry with humans for shunning him, yet he wants to be accepted and his want of friendship is generally enough to be friendly and outgoing. If the unspoken offer of friendship is accepted, he is friendly, grateful, for among other things, just somebody to talk to. If shunned, as is the norm, he becomes angry, and he allows the animal instincts taught to him on Arca to take over, killing without thinking. A very different circumstance, in his mind, is if a small child was shocked by his appearance. He could never bring himself to harm someone so much weaker than him. He feels a strong sense of loyalty to those that accept him, and he would willingly die for them. Ironically animals, dumb beasts, welcome him and generally don’t attack, his presence seeming to sooth them. He enjoys them as well, for the Arcons are lovers of natural things, shown especially in the once majestic cities of Arca, built high with the Arcons’ advanced technology, but carefully constructed to leave the tall, thick trees and dens of creatures alone. As a warrior culture, most Arcons admire the natural, unintelligent world for its supreme law: survival of the fittest. They subscribe to this as well, traveling to less sophisticated planets and destroying them, wiping out the intelligent inhabitants, and taking whatever seems useful, but once again leaving the less intelligent animals alone, as an homage to their way of life. Arcons are known for being unemotional, but Sengard fails to fit the stereotype. He possesses strong emotions and often feels them with single-mindedness, focusing solely on a single, strong emotion. His featureless face might not portray them very well, but that doesn’t diminish the magnitude with which he feels them.
