@Gundam Pharmacist: Alright, with those latest edits as we discussed on skype, it all looks good to me now.
Sakura Kinomoto is accepted.
Entering now might be a bit awkward, since we're sort of close to the end of the day, but that said it might still be at least a week, so if you do not want to wait I understand. If you don't wait though, there are some things you should do first: Read through the first post of the main thread, to see what Sakura's arrival should be like. Then check through the first post of the discussion thread, to see stuff like the current day rules and the description of what the city is normally like. Then, at least recap the last few pages or so of the main thread, to have some idea of what's currently going on.
You are reading this.Thanks for accepting me! I don't know if you're still here, but would it be possible for me to jump in on the balcony scene with Hollow Knight and Valentina? It feels awkward to try and make a separate balcony scene for Sakura, and it would seem even more awkward to introduce her the next day if the plan for that day is what I hear it to be from the other rpers. I don't want to jump in uninvited, and I asked Azure Rain. He was okay with it but he asked me to clarify with you first.

There is a point where we needed to stop and we have clearly passed it...but let's keep going and see what happensYou don't need to bump your signup. The GM is nocturnal so he probably won't get to your signup until a lot later tonight. But rest assured he will see it.
Also don't double post. It's considered bad form.

I can still hail the Horde even though the company has shamed us. Strength and Honor even if Blizzard has neither.It's fine. You're new to the forum. Just be patient until Firock Finion comes back, and he can look over your signup. If he asks you to change things, just edit them, and don't take any criticism personally.
We're trying to help.
Aye, this is a forum, not an instant messenger; I have all my threads to keep track of on my watchlist, so I know when there's a new post. You'll just have to get accustomed to things usually moving around one or two posts a day per person here, though there are some exceptions.
Now, I've heard of Hunter x Hunter, but I'm not directly familiar with it, so I'll have to do some checking later to make sure this is all accurate. Accurate or not though, there would have to be some changes for balance reasons. Definitely the strength, speed, and possibly endurance would all have to be toned down or he'd be well above everyone else in those regards. I'm also curious, since there doesn't seem to be a downside, is there any reason for him not to use Round 2 all the time? Does it cost him more energy or something?

You are reading this.it's has a long recharge time and it only allows him to spam 2 attacks with it,i'm gonna nerf the strenght,speed and durability too, also i forgot to add that jajanken has a charge time.

There is a point where we needed to stop and we have clearly passed it...but let's keep going and see what happensYeah, those changes seem alright now.
Anyway, so my friends were not familiar with Hunter x Hunter either, so I read through Gon's character trope entry. Your sheet seems mostly accurate, though it was missing a number of things that seem important to me to mention.
The only thing that seemed outright wrong is that evidently Gon doesn't use his fishing pole after learning Nen. Well, at least he doesn't fight with it; I guess maybe he would still carry it around anyway, but the trope page wasn't clear on that.
As for stuff that I would consider worth being on the sheet that were not... He has some kind of Aura Vision, or possibly previously did but lost the ability to use it at some point? You mentioned his enhanced senses, though the emphasis from the tropes seemed to be mainly on his sense of smell, and that he has an easy time seeing in the dark. He loves nature. He has apparently dated older women and knows a lot more about "adult matters" than a boy his age normally would or arguably should. He struggles somewhat with complex ideas. He is apparently terrible at math- even basic math. He has somewhat of a blue and orange morality because he's unfettered, and can even be ruthless at times. And last but certainly not least, he never, ever gives up, even when he knows for certain that he cannot win.
You are reading this.Well other than some typos and grammatical issues, the sheet does seem alright to me now.
Gon Freecss is accepted.
Given that we are just about to start Day 22 soon, as in maybe tonight or in the next couple of days at the latest, it would be far easier for you to wait to enter until after it begins. In the meantime, be sure to read the first post of the main thread, to see what his arrival to the city should be like; also, check through the first post of the discussion thread, to find useful information such as the current day rules, a description of what the city is like normally, and other things. Of course, the current day rules can be somewhat ignored until Day 22 starts, but the rest of it should still come in handy as it's usually always relevant.
You are reading this.it's basically when Gon makes a pledge with Nen to receive all the power he will ever have and transforms in a jacked adult with THE BIGGEST ANIME HAIR,but thinking about it it's too OP.
There is a point where we needed to stop and we have clearly passed it...but let's keep going and see what happensNen works by putting a "pledge" or restriction on your power,like "i will only fight woman" or "i will only use this ability on june" the more restrictive the more powerfull the ability is,Gon's pledge to make jajaken is to chant his attacks,his pledge to achieve the ultimate transformation was all his talent,his ability to use Nen and his life,temporally making him the World's Strongest Man.

There is a point where we needed to stop and we have clearly passed it...but let's keep going and see what happens- Story: Pokémon Diamond and Pearl
- Name: Riley
- A/G/S: 25, male, human
- Appearance: "I sense your strong aura."
◊
- Personality: Riley is a bit of a loner. He's not unfriendly or anything, but he tends to prefer being alone with his Pokemon. When interacting with people, he's friendly and willing to be self-deprecating. Much like most Pokemon trainers, he is also protective of the people and Pokemon around him, willing to jump in when he sees trouble.
- Backstory: A steel mine in a place called Iron Island belonged to Riley's family as he was growing up, making them very wealthy. Riley, however, was uninterested in the mines themselves, instead fascinated by the Pokemon in the mine, and his own growing aura abilities. He practiced battling and his aura constantly with his partner, Lucario. The mines eventually dried up, and were simply used as a training spot and home for powerful steel-type Pokemon. Despite being offered the position of gym leader, he instead decided to focus on training and becoming stronger.
- Skills: Riley is an aura user, and as such can sense and use the life energy in every living thing.
- Aura Sense: Using his aura, Riley can sense where things are around him, along with their emotions. He can do this while blinded, allowing him to see no matter what is blocking his vision.
- Aura Communication: A form of telepathy that Riley can use. He can send and receive messages from anyone else with aura abilities, mostly just his Lucario.
- Items: Riley has five pokeballs that hold his team of Pokemon. They focus on being hard-hitting over anything else.
- Lucario:
His partner Pokemon who also has aura abilities. He is agile and strong, preferring to hit hard and fast. On him is a sitrus berry, which he can eat in order to heal himself if weakened enough.
- Close Combat: Lucario charges his opponent and beats them up without any regard for defending himself. It's powerful, but leaves him vulnerable.
- Blaze Kick: His foot sets on fire, and he kicks his opponent. Deep.
- Extremespeed: Surrounding himself with aura, Lucario moves extremely fast and slams into his foe.
- Bone Rush: Lucario creates a long, bone-shaped weapon out of energy and hits his enemy with it.
- Absol:
While no aura master like Riley and Lucario, Absol is capable of a very weak manipulation of aura. His aura works like a spidey-sense, allowing him to tell where some sort of disaster will happen, but not much else.
- Swords Dance: Summoning incorporeal swords, Absol can make himself a little stronger through meditation. This move leaves him vulnerable as he concentrates.
- Night Slash: Absol attacks his enemy with his claws, specifically aiming for any weak spots.
- Psycho Cut: Using his horn, he shoots a bright purple crescent-shaped blade of energy.
- Quick Attack: Absol charges at his opponent very quickly.
- Ursaring:
As a normal type, Ursaring isn't particularly special in any way. He's a good climber and can hit hard. When hit by something that leaves lasting damage or simply continues to bother him without hurting, he can lose his temper and attack in a rage.
- Slash: Using his huge claws, Ursaring can deal a lot of damage.
- Avalanche: Slowly, Ursaring summons ice to crush his opponent. If he's hit but not defeated while this move charges, then the move becomes stronger.
- Shadow Claw: Much like slash, except his claws become shrouded in a black energy.
- Aerial Ace: Again like slash, but this time his claws are covered in a bright white energy. This move is very fast and hard to evade.
- Metagross:
Intelligent but not sapient, Metagross is like a computer. It follows instructions to a T. Any attempts at intimidation or distraction are useless.
- Metor Mash: Metagross's hand becomes covered in white light as it punches its opponent. This move has the slight chance of charging Metagross somewhat, letting it hit a little harder next time.
- Zen Headbutt: Metagross charges at its opponent headfirst (I don't know either). This can leave the opponent briefly dazed afterwards.
- Hammerarm: Metagross attacks by raising its arm and slamming it down onto its opponent. This move can leave Metagross unbalanced and slower afterwards.
- Bullet Punch: A weak but fast move, Metagross's arms turn white as it rolls on its side into its opponent.
- Salamence:
His wings allow him to fly. If he becomes too enraged, Riley loses control of him and he begins to throw a destructive temper tantrum, destroying everything around him.
- Dragon Claw: Summoning the strength of a dragon, Salamence slashes at his foes with his claws while they are surrounded by a bright, blue energy.
- Crunch: Salamence bites down very hard on his enemy.
- Fire Fang: Like crunch, except he first fills his mouth with fire.
- Thunder Fang:
ditto but with electricity.
- Lucario:

I say that aloud too sometimes, just: "man, no life."@Skooter 910: According to my pokemon expert friend, this is all accurate, and I'd say that with only one little exception, it looks alright to me in terms of balance.
That one little exception being a possible speed nerf applied to Lucario's Extremespeed ability; being so fast that it's difficult to even see him could be a little broken.
You are reading this.

@Gundam Pharmacist: Well I think I've heard of Cardcaptor Sakura before, but didn't really know anything about it. I doubt my friends do either, though I managed to read through Sakura's character trope entry before any of them were online to ask anyway. Far as I can tell, this is accurate, save for missing that Sakura is also skilled at... Knitting? It didn't actually specify what method she used in the trope entry, but she made a yukata at some point.
Far as balance is concerned, since you already edited somewhat of what we discussed on skype, the only thing really left is to say that some of the cards should not be as potent with their abilities as they normally are: The speed at which Wood and Flower can grow things. You didn't mention in the sheet, but it seems that normally Jump and Fly can make her much faster than would be allowed. Sword's cutting power is still a lot higher than I would normally allow, plus I usually dislike people trying to be super specific about exactly how powerful certain things are; it should pretty much just be a somewhat sharper and more durable than normal, magical sword. Your sheet makes Shadow sound a lot stronger than what you described on skype. Shield's power should be nowhere near impenetrable or unbreakable. Earthy's power should be only very localized, like only within around ten-fifteen meters at most. And that's just the ones you described enough to be clear; the rest should generally be within similar restrictions.
Lastly, speaking of clear enough descriptions, The Loop could use some better clarification, as I'm really not sure I get it.
