Hmmm, anyways... Think I have my character ideas narrowed down enough. How long until the signups start?

  • Name: Lady Alexandria Angelica Cartwright the Third
  • Age: 10(?)
  • Occupation: "Ojou-sama"
  • Gender: Female
  • Appearance: "I don't have time for boring people, I'm hugging Mister Bun. Unless you want to put me to sleep, go away."
  • Personality: Lady Alexandria Angelica Cartwright the Third is incredibly lazy, to the point where she refuses to even walk anywhere outside of her mansion. Why walk when she can float? The girl is also incredibly arrogant, believing that most people aren't worth her time and any opponents are nothing to her magical talent. She enjoys sweets and has a hobby of collecting stuffed animals. For problems that can't be solved with blowing things up with magic, Alexandria attempts to solve them with money. Or her full compliment of demon maids. While she believes most people are worth far less then herself, she may become fanatical towards certain people, usually older girls then herself, looking up to them and following them about. However, she is likely to become jealous if they pay attention to anyone else. Alexandria is also generally quite nice to her maids, unless they do something seriously wrong. She is also liable to somewhat begrudgingly return kindness with kindness(though if it's someone she feels fanatical towards, she'll be nice without a second thought).
  • Abilities: Alexandria is incredibly capable at magic, to an almost ridiculous degree. She can materialize a set of crystalline blue swords, which spiral around her and and be fired at the enemy. She also does not need to walk, instead floating from place to place outside her mansion. Alexandria can also fire blasts of blue magic, which are very dangerous. She is very frail and unable to take much damage. However, her backhand is rather painful. Alexandria can also call upon her team of demon maids to fight for her while she floats in the background, out of reach.
  • Bio: Alexandria is, seemingly, the result of incredible richness and barely-present parents. At least, seemingly. Well, that and lots of magical training.
  • Assets: A mansion! A bunch of demon maids! Tons of money!

Edit: Didn't meant to post it yet. >.<

Alright, smarty pants! So you were all very close in guessing how the Signup sheet would end up... But still not enough! There be a very important field missing in all of them!

  • Name: How do we call you? A nickname or fighting title is also almost indispensable. The Crimson Storm, the Evil Blade, The Tiny Merchant, The Foolish Inventor... something!
  • Age: How old do you look like? How old you actually are is not that relevant as a lot of summoned champions are being suspended in time or immortal.
  • Race: What are you? Human, Cat, Tree, Elf, Alien? Something else? Say it here!
  • Gender: Male, Female, Both, Neither, Fifth Option?
  • Appearance: How do you look like? What are your primary physical characteristics?
  • Clothes, Costumes and Armor: How do you dress, what do you wear, what do you look like when walking down the road?
  • Personality: Everything about your soul, personality, actions and manner of being.
  • Profession: What do you do when not fighting? Or do you only fight and bum the rest of the time? Do you have some hobbies?
  • Bio: What have you done?
  • Categories and Affiliations: Important one! Which tags does the Arbiter have you on? Are you a knight? A warrior? A magic user? Are you British? Martian? Heralarian? Do you belong to a Church? Do you answer to your state? Are you in a federation? A clan? Do take into mind that you must fit the criteria of the organization or class you are claiming by their strict definition.
  • Abilities: What can you do? What are you good at? What are your skills?
  • Possessions: What do you own? What can what you own do?
  • Other: Favorite flavor of ice cream. Or like... something else that doesn't fit anywhere else.

  • Name: Tsuyoi Senshukami, The Immortal Student Council President!
  • Age:
    • Appears to be: 18
    • Actual: 1124
  • Gender: Female
  • Appearance: "Ah, now it's time for the spot light!"
  • Clothes, Costumes and Armor:
    • Idol outfits, night gown, wedding dress, maid outfit, magical girl attire, casual clothes.
  • Personality: It's difficult to describe Tsuyoi in just so many words. Arrogant, haughty, mean-spirited and selfish. Oh wait, no it wasn't hard at all. This is a girl who takes pleasure in the misery of others by playing pranks on them or embarassing them. The motivation behind that kind of treatment is for entertainment. Would she go out and kill people for that? No way, she does have morals though they're very thin. On the flip side, Tsuyoi does have some good parts. She can be kind (but no one can be around to see it) and giving to others less fortunate than her. She DOES show remorse and apologize to someone if she thinks that she has overstepped her boundaries.
  • Profession: Mangaka, Light novel artist and writer, singer, idol.
  • Bio: Not originally a girl from the present but rather a mischevious spirit that lurked in the past. A girl who achieved immortality by taking a drink of some blessed water. Experienced great sorrows, deadly sickness and ultimate despair. In order to remedy this the girl became stronger. Versed herself in many talents and pushed the limits of what it meant to be human! Now... she's a student council president. Strange how things go, isn't it?
  • Categories and Affiliations: High School Student, Japanese, Superpowered Being
  • Abilities:
    • Short-range Teleportation: Capable of teleporting short distances (Up to ten feet away) concecutively three times before a cool down of two minutes is enforced.
    • Swordsman: Tsuyoi's main mode of fighting is by using a katana. She's very skilled with it.
    • Superhuman Strength: Capable of feats beyond that of normal man.
    • Flight: Capable of flying at speeds of around 60 MPH.
    • Immortality: Can be churned, burned alive, ripped apart and incinerated. Her body will regenerate after 24 hours though. Does not have any healing factor and feels pain.
  • Possessions: Shiro, a white katana that seems to be indestructible. Books on government policies, manga, books, money, wallet, her ego.
  • Other: Tsuyoi is friendly... once.. you get passed her terrible habits and her personality!

  • Name: Henry Gasfunt, "The Urban Imp"
  • Age: 19
  • Gender: Male
  • Race: Human, though with traces of demonic ancestry.
  • Appearance: For illustration purposes only.
  • Clothes, Costumes and Armor: Usually seen wearing a dark blue hoodie over a dark green shirt, brown cargo pants, black leather belt and sturdy dark brown work shoes
  • Personality: Happy go lucky, wide eyed, friendly and carefree. Fights for fun, to prove himself and, begrudgingly, for money.
  • Bio: Henry’s family has an age old history of having to deal with the supernatural. This resulted in a long running tradition of making contracts, deals, and treaties with monsters, demons, spirits and supernatural entities in general. Henry proper was fitted into a contract with a spiritual entity called “The Merchant of Iron”. Average student throughout his academic life. A big name in the streets of Havan City, his hometown. Currently a clerk at a coffee shop.
  • Categories and Affiliations: Street Brawler, Gasfunt Family, Descendant of Demons
  • Abilities:
    • Hand to hand combat: due to experience and talent he is an ace in unarmed and armed hand to hand combat, has no formal training though.
    • Resourceful fighter: on his experience, he can use the environment to his favor in a battle.
    • Demonic Heritage: Mild resistance to magic, curses, and enchanted weaponry.
    • Deal with the Merchant of Iron: Here it’s how it works. Each morning Henry receives an envoy from The Merchant. The envoy bears iron tags and delivers them to Henry. The number he receives depends on how much The Merchant favors him on that particular day, but it never exceeds five. The tags then can be used to summon pieces of weaponry and armor of varying shape and quality. The ones that are left unused must be returned to the envoy the next day. In addition the summoned weapons turn into dust by the next day.
  • Possessions: An apartment… pretty much that.

  • Age: GRIZZLED
  • Race: MAN
  • Gender: MAN
  • Appearance: YES, I COMMISSIONED THIS.
  • Clothes, Costumes and Armor: GRIMDARK SHIRTS, TIES, AND LOAFERS. TYPICAL DAD GEAR. ALL OF WHICH IS EXTREMELY FIREPROOF.
  • Personality: WHILE ON ONE HAND GRIMDAD IS EXCESSIVELY LOUD AND ANGRY, HE IS STILL A DAD, AND CARES FOR OTHERS AS SUCH. A RAGING BADASS, BUT STILL A DAD.
  • Profession: HE IS A DAD WHEN NOT FIGHTING.
  • Bio: GRIMDAD WAS RAISED BY GRIMPAW, A DREAD LICH LORD, IN THE LAND OF GRIMDARK. THIS IS THE NAME OF THE LAND AS IT IS KNOWN TO ITS PEOPLE, A FALLEN CIVILIZATION ONCE HOST TO HIGH TECHNOLOGY AND NOW IN DECLINE, WITH MAGIC SUDDENLY REAPPEARING IN THE WORLD. GRIMDAD EVENTUALLY BEAT GRIMPAW TO DEATH WITH HIS OWN PHYLACTERY, AND LEFT FOR A LIFE OF HIGH ADVENTURE. THEN HE MET GRIMMOM, A DREAD NECROMANTRESS, AND THEY FELL IN LOVE. SO THEY HAD CHILDREN, AND THEN THEY RAISED A FAMILY. SUBSEQUENTLY GRIMDAD BLEW UP MULTIPLE HOMES IN WHICH THEY LIVED MANY TIMES OVER, EVENTUALLY CULMINATING IN AN EPIC ADVENTURE AND ANOTHER REBUILDING OF THE LAND OF GRIMDARK, OR AT LEAST THE MILE AROUND GRIMDAD'S HOME. HOWEVER, Kevin, GRIMDAD'S SON, HAS GOTTEN IT INTO HIS HEAD THAT HIS DAD ISN'T AS COOL AS KTHARKHZX'S DAD DOWN THE STREET. GRIMDAD HAS THUS TAKEN IT UPON HIMSELF TO FIGHT HIS WAY TO THE TOP OF THE ARENA TO PROVE HOW COOL OF A DAD HE IS.
  • Categories and Affiliations: A DAD FROM THE LAND OF GRIMDARK.
  • Abilities:
    • GRIMDAD IS STRONG ENOUGH TO FLOOR A CHARGING RHINO WITH A STRONG LEFT HOOK AND LEAP THIRTY FEET IN THE AIR.
    • GRIMDAD IS TOUGH ENOUGH TO SURVIVE BEING DOUSED IN LAVA AND COME OUT MILDLY CHARRED.
    • GRIMDAD CAN RAISE HIS STRENGTH AND TOUGHNESS EVEN MORE BY GETTING REALLY ANGRY.
  • Possessions: GRIMDAD HAS MANY CONQUESTS FROM PREVIOUS ADVENTURES:
    • DAMIAN'S PIPE, ALLOWING HIM TO CONTROL FIRE AND SMOKE SO LONG AS IT IS FED A STEADY SUPPLY OF TOBACCO
    • THE TIE OF VALOR, ALLOWING GRIMDAD TO MANIPULATE HIS SHADOW LIKE IT'S A PHYSICAL OBJECT
    • A HUGE SWORD, THE BEDROCK BLADE, LIKE SIX FEET LONG AND A FOOT WIDE, MADE OF BEDROCK. THE HANDLE IS CRUDE AND THE BASE OF THE BLADE IS JAGGED. MOSTLY BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY HALF THE SWORD OF A LAVA MONSTER HE KILLED.
    • GRIMDAD OCCASIONALLY WIELDS A MACHINE-GUN THAT SHOOTS FLAMING CHAINSAWS, BUT HE'S NOTICED THAT IT'S SORT OF OVERPOWERED AND SO THE WEAPON HAS FALLEN OUT OF REGULAR USE.
  • Other: A summary of all the conversations I have ever had with Starbound2 about this guy. Could be useful/entertaining.

  • Race: Human
  • Gender: Female
  • Appearance: "War... Just a 3 letter word."
  • Clothes, Costumes and Armor: Military uniform, casual clothes, office suit, winter clothes
  • Personality: Very much a Lady of War, anyone that gets between her and completing her mission promptly feels her wrath. She doesn't have much of a social life when she's in her downtime. She's cold, reserved, and calculating, concentrating to whatever task is at hand. She does have morals (she is VERY protective of children) though she doesn't show it. She never backs down from a fight, and would rather die before admitting defeat.
  • Profession: Nothing much here really.
  • Bio: A product of her environment, being in the military was always a family affair for her with both mother and father serving; she also grew up around war zones and was trained for this position pretty much since the day she was born. Other than that, nothing else is known about her...
  • Categories and Affiliations: Military, Magic user and Swordsman.
  • Abilities: A skilled swordsman with a difference. Her katana sets fire to anything and everything it touches, and a normal swing with the sword causes extensive trails of flame to shoot out from the blade. She's also skilled in hand to hand combat.

  • Other: She is addicted to betting wagers. She paints bowls of fruit in her spare time. Is fluent in 4 languages (German, French, Chinese and Spanish). And she's gay.

Color me interested.smile

Which would be more appropriate a military golem that has the power of the four elements due to each of its four hearts coming from a bender or a girl about 14 with power armor who kills people and beats them up with seven rainbow colored balls.

Hurm, so... Looks like I might have to scrap my idea and think of something else, because... Well, the idea was two magical girls who fuse into a more powerful one, basically, but unfortunately that's not going to look at all original now and people will probably think I'm just ripping off a certain show that started airing recently. >.<

...So it might take me a while to figure out a replacement. Sorry.

Name: G.E.W.L. or Golem

Age: N/A

Race: Construct/Golem

Gender: N/A

Appearance: A large statue about the size of a large jock wearing a helmet made of earth lacking define features except for fingers or a rough model of a lightly built human

Clothes, Costumes and Armor: I go all natural

Personality: G.E.W.L. is serious, determined, creative, maybe a little childish, loyal

Profession: Military, games (You can come up with some new strategies for your powers)

Bio: Originally I was deployed as a mercenary to gain experience and to not draw attention to myself. I have made several tours in [[Data not found]]. I am one of [[Data not found]]. I have some memories of another place that....It is not important.

Categories and Affiliations: Golem, Relic creature, Construct, Magic creature, Soldier, Elemental, Military

Abilities: I can manipulate the four elements. I posses four hearts from human elemental benders that allow me to manipulate them. I unfortunately am limited by the stress that manipulating the elements puts on my hearts. Too much stress and the heart is gone. I am also limited by distance and power as they increase stress. In order to prevent golems from ascertaining too much power the military put limiters in our hearts so that we can only have four. My form is only defined by my hearts, my body can be made from water, earth, or air. Earth is preferable since it takes less energy. I can also change hearts out for other elements such as void, plasma, boron, or even metal.

Possessions: I own nothing.

Other: Prototype was an inspiring game and I liked the shows they showed in the military like Avatar the last airbender. I do not have a soul and cease to exist if all four hearts fail. I am currently here to prevent a wish of world alternating proportions.
