I'm itching to ask if it would be possible for someone to be a reincarnated Theodore Roosevelt but i'm not sure anyone's writing skills can handle that amount of concentrated Crazy Awesome.

[up][up]Read the post. I'll let you come up with the specifics, but the general idea is that he's supposed to be sort of low on the social ladder for whatever reason and feeling a little out of place with her, even though they're old friends.

PM me if you want to discuss it more. We probably shouldn't clog up the thread.

  • Name: Kaguya-hime. The Kaguya-hime.
  • Gender: Female
  • Age: Over a Thousand
  • Reincarnation Of Is: Kaguya-hime
  • Appearance: Nice clothes.
  • Personality: Kind to a fault, especially to those she owes some kind of debt to or are nice themselves. She is not above, however, sending people to do blatantly impossible tasks to avoid marrying them or to otherwise solve a problem. She's a very, very big believer in things' being inevitable.
  • History: Came to Earth, was raised by a Bamboo Cutter, the Impossible Requests, and went back. The last part involved giving up her memories of this time, which is why she's now extremely confused, both because of culture shock and the fact that her mind tells her that she's been here before. Those memories? She wants them back.

    She left the moon because of the moon landings. Bloody stowaways...
  • Abilities: Not much. She's a fast learner and is good at languages but there's not actually much she can do. At least, nothing helpful for this day and age.
  • Artifact: The Five Impossible Requests. As she can't remember what they are, their use is somewhat dulled, but they give her some measure of influence over the five (Eastern) elements. The Fire Rat's Robe covers fire, the Dragon's Jewel water, the Jewelled Branch metal, the Stone Bowl earth, and the Swallow's Nest Shell wood.

  • Name: Saito Yuki
  • Gender: Female
  • Age: 19
  • Reincarnation Of: Miyamoto Musashi
  • Appearance: Ignore the snakes. Basically, long black hair, red eyes, and a scary smirk.
  • Personality: Arrogant, at least with regards to her kendo skills, which isn't too unexpected, and she's always willing to settle things with a duel. Otherwise, she's quite peaceful, with an interest in painting and tea... but put her in a situation where fighting is a good idea and you should run.
  • History: Yuki's father has taught kendo for his entire life and, naturally, has passed this skill onto his only daughter. She's proved exceedingly gifted for it, to the point where it's hard to say whether she loses matches in tournaments because she's lacking in skill or just can't be bothered. She came to America because, naturally, there was a tournament to show people up in but decided to stay for a holiday.
  • Abilities: Basic painting skills, she can speak surprisingly good English (though her accent still gets in the way sometimes), and being brilliant with anything that can vaguely be used as a katana. Katana, bokken, shinai... she can, and has, used them all. Naturally, she dual-wields whenever possible.
  • Artifact: Sword-Saint. Unlike most artifacts, this has no physical representation: at its lowest level, it will just slowly increase her proficiency with swords, though her technique is almost perfect as it is. Higher up, physical capabilities start to improve to the eventual point of Razor Wind from force alone. Finally, pretty much anything long and thin can be wielded as if it was a sword.*

  • Name: Percy Blackwood
  • Gender: Male
  • Age: 15
  • Reincarnation Of: Galahad
  • Appearance: A frail short young man, he has short auburn hair, and blue eyes. He has a soft, kind face that is almost always with a smile. he wears loose gym pants, black sneakers, and a long sleeved blue dress shirt.
  • Personality: Innocent, is what you could describe him with in a single word. He's happy and optimistic, always willing to lend a helping hand to others. However, due to being mostly staying in his home, he tends to think highly of others, and can't fathom a cynical attitude. That's not to say he's a pushover. He can be very determined in his actions.
  • History: Percy was always ill, having to be home-schooled to avoid any risks to his health. Eventually, his parents moved him and them to a more quiet place, where hopefully, his condition would improve. To their surprise, he did, able to go out and even do outdoor activities. They were happy with this, never noticing he always had a strange flask with him always.

  • Abilities: Percy is a rather calming individual, and can ease the tension of a situation.
  • Artifact: The Holy Grail, a sacred object which was supposedly the cup used by Jesus, and sought by many. Galahad was one of the few who managed to succeed in this. It however, isn't the Grail itself; but a mere imagining of it, from Galahad's mind. As it has many interpretations of its forms, this particular manifestation takes the appearance of...a (albeit golden coloured) flask. Drinking from it allows the one who did it revitalization, giving them more strength to go on for a certain period of time. Just having it in his possession allows Percy to move without his illness bothering him. As for other powers, it's currently unknown what else it could do.

Eugh... not that it's likely to mean much, but I think that Galahad is pretty much the worst Arthurian knight to reincarnate. Also, way too much religious stuff involved in his being around. >.<

@Raineh: She certainly seems a lot less... level-headed than her past life. If she kept anywhere near Musashi's level of skill... yeah, that's not good.

Also, I probably made The Anzu Bird sound terribly generic when I described it, so a little detail. Her strength is increased dramatically when compared to a human. She starts out being elevated to the strength of a circus strong man and goes from there. The main boost comes in speed though. She starts out being almost able to clock 50 mph, but has a difficult time controlling her direction at first, making turning difficult. She also becomes a little more hardy, but not to nigh invincible levels (at least not yet). Her starting point there could probably be compared to a bullet proof vest. Protects against the small things, but still folds under too much pressure.

The fire is actual fire, although for whatever reason it doesn't affect her. The flames are a bright blue with undertones of purple, and burn hotter than lightning. But that's only at the final stages. For now, the fire is just fire, and it seems to have a somewhat difficult time spreading.

The bird.... yeah, the bird's the bird. Enough said.

Note that she's practically a master of the Niten Ichi-Ryu to start with. It's why the artifact actually does so little. [lol]

  • Name: Waldorf "Wald" Masters - He really prefers to be called Wald.
  • Gender: male
  • Age: 17
  • Reincarnation Of: Wayland the Smith
  • Appearance: A rather large, husky boy, with tousled, short, light brown hair and friendly brown eyes.
  • Personality: While not quiet or shy, he doesn't talk much when not spoken to and rarely starts a conversation on his own, but is nevertheless friendly and open with the people he likes. Unless he is caught up in a problem or asleep, then you could detonate a nuke next to him and he wouldn't notice.
  • History: Wald is pretty normal kid, both his parents are history teachers, his mom at the local high school, hence his awkward name. He is part of the football team, but its more a compensation for his stay-at-homeyness than a serious passion.
  • Abilities: Kind of a gadgeteer, he likes to tinker with things, taking them apart to see how they work, the kid of guy who really loved his model kit as a child (and still does so today) and actually managed to make one of those model radios work.
  • Artifact: Honestly, I don't know yet. He was more known for making artifacts for other people than using them himself. I guess the best thing would be a hammer (obviously), so if it would be alright to add something completely new to a myth, I'd go with that. The hammer would grant him strength as well as mystical forging knowledge. Maybe later even the ability to summon fire.

Looks good so far, at least. I... Should probably refrain from suggesting an artifact, as the only thing I can really think of right now is, um, Unlimited Blade Works. >.< Um... The hammer might work, I suppose.

But yeah, once you've got that sorted out you'll most likely be accepted.

I'll guess I go with the hammer then. I looked up "Unlimited Blade Works", but frankly, I am not a hundred percent sure what it is supposed to be.

edit: Okay, apparently the ability to summon a lot of weapons.You said that the artifacts will grow in strength over time, so this might be a good ability for the future.

v: Thank you. Yes, that really makes a lot of sense for a future ability.

Quick question. Will our characters start the RP knowing they can call on these artifacts or not?

[up] It's basically an encapsulated plane of reality born of the user's mind which serves as a factory for, you guessed it, Unlimited Blades.

Unlimited Blade Works requires that you've seen the weapon before, though. The created weapons are also weaker than the originals if they're magical. Heh.

Name: Gwen Yuanji

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Reincarnation Of: Guan Yu, renowned warrior of the kingdom of Shu, deified as a God of War in China and Liu Bei's sworn brother. Some more info here.

Appearance: Ignore the swords, please. She's more of a Guan Dao gal.

Personality: Annoyingly cold and arrogant, funnily enough. She believes that next to none are worthy of the presence of her master, who just so happens to be the reincarnation of Liu Bei. Said master and her best friend are pretty much the only people she acts 'normal' to. She respects those with great strength or conviction, though, and will drop the arrogance in their presence, even if they prove weaker than she in the end.

History: Gwen’s family has been affiliated with the Baer’s for a while, her family members usually employed in some form for their abilities in whichever field is necessary. Gwen happens to be the latest, and quite clearly devoted to her role. She spent much of her life training to be a suitable bodyguard for Lilly, mainly because she wasn’t that great a maid.

Abilities: Gwen excels at most sports, and is incredibly skilled at hand-to-hand combat and wielding pole-arms and similar weapons. Despite being employed as a maid, however, her cooking skills are terribly lacking, and she tends to cut corners with cleaning.

Artefact: Green Moon Crescent Blade, her weapon from when she was the Tiger General Guan Yu, and sworn brother to Liu Bei.
As for the abilities it grants... well, aside from the expected increase in strength, as well as endurance, Gwen gains knowledge of the art of war, able to access all kinds of conditions for battle.


Name: Zoe Fei-ling

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Reincarnation Of: Zhang Fei, the other sworn brother of Liu Bei and a powerful general. extra info here.

Appearance: The face of innocence, isn't she?

Personality: Funnily enough, she's a pretty quiet girl who rarely speaks her mind and seems to love all kinds of animals, ever. She also enjoys cooking, especially for her best friend and master. It's best not to get her drunk, however - the smallest drop of alcohol turns her into quite the boisterous and aggressive brawler.

History: Zoe's family ran a grocery shop for as long as she could remember, and she would have been fine with taking over the shop herself if it weren't for a chance meeting with Lilly Baer, causing her to vehemently pursue employment under her service, succeeding in becoming a maid. Another surprising fact is the ease with which she befriended the rather cold Gwen Yuanji.

Abilities: Is an excellent cook, and is quite good at restraining Gwen if she gets too aggressive in her attempts to keep those 'less worthy' away from Lilly.

Artefact: Her weapon, the Serpent Pike. Like Gwen's artefact, it grants strength and endurance. However, it substitutes any additional knowledge for even more 'stat' gains. Her main flaw with this would be her lack of any actual combat training.

On closer inspection, especially seeing the amendments made to her, I'm afraid I'm going to have to take back my acceptance of Victoria and veto her. Sorry.

As for Teddy... Uh... Write up a sign up and we'll see, I guess.

I'm probably going to be withdrawing Lily. Just a heads up.
