[/i]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alignment ~ : Good

Behavior ~ : Because he is going through the "transition" from child to teen, his moods will swing alot. For the most part he tries to act like an adult, so people could stop putting him in his father's shadow. Unfortunately that doesn't work so he becomes frustrated, however he bottles it up. So there is a possibility that he may burst with anger, and take it out on someone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Marcus lives a life that would be normal, if it wasn't the fact that his father is part of council of mages. With this fact hanging over his person, he's always been told that he'll be just like his father or his father would have learned this in a shorter time than him when he was younger. This has bothered Marcus alot, and he didn't think of anything that he could have the upper hand in. But his chance came with Lucilia, she was captured and tried for her crime. When Lucilia had made her offer and the council agreed on it, he jumped on his chance and took the offer to make the Pact. His father was against it, but he saw what Marcus was trying to do, and with much dislike but love in his heart he allowed for his son to do it. So when they had started their journey, for a time all they could do was follow a trail that kept getting colder. But finally they were able to track it to a scientist who thought that with the powers store inside the artifact he could go to different worlds and use the darkness to control them all. Marcus didn't want that to happen so him and Lucilia tried an attempt to get it back, which fail miserably. So like a evil scientist, he started his experiment but something went horribly wrong (typical really) and heartless came out and masses of darkness swallowed everyone in the castle up. Coming to Marcus saw that he ended up in a town with neon lights, but when he looked around the sqaure he didn't see Lucilia. So now he's trying to find his partner so they can get back to their on world, wherever it is.

The history does seem to be an Inuyasha cliche, do you think?

[Rhea]

Both the appearance and personality need more detail. I’d say they should each be at least five sentences, though you could probably do more than that.

For his weapon, there should only be one weak ability and one moderate ability on it - it can't be upgraded to fine quality twice. Since he’s a Tech character his primary weapon starts out as fine, so you don’t have to pay for the fine weapon upgrade. You have 95 credits left in that case if you’d like to spend them. Also, you can give the weapon an element for your weapon damage if you wish because its quality is excellent.

The history needs more Kingdom Hearts related events. Also...it’s confusing, I honestly don’t know what’s going on. Maybe reread it and try to fix it up? (Who’s Lucilia? What world is he from?)

[Kashew]

Modify...

I did rewrite the personality, trying to be more specific. The appearance I added on, but I think may need to more detailed.

The weapon abilities are staying cause, yes for a fine weapon there is one weak, then for an excellent there is a moderate and an element. But I decided to change the element into another ability by buying the Convert Special.

For the history, I'm sorry that I'm not making any sense, so I tried adding something to tie with Kingdom Hearts. And to try and clear up one other confusion, Lucilia is a another character I'm in the process of finishing, and her half of the history is to help explain in more details the deal she made with the council, and also explain her relationship with Marcus.

I hope this help a little.

[Rhea]

...That was my bad. I'm sorry, you're right.
Yes, everything looks alright now.
