~Character Info~

Waking up in the morning, your thoughts are cluttered. It takes a moment for you to fully become aware of your surroundings, but once you do, everything about your life comes back to you.[/center][/b][/i]

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

Name ~ : Arc Draco

Age ~ : 64 (Read: 16)

Birthplace ~ : Draconum

Gender ~ : Male

Race ~ : Drake

Special Class ~ : Tamer

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

~Appearance~

As you are heading out the door of your house, a small glimmer of light catches your eye. You turn around and see a mirror, putting you face to face with your reflection.

[/b][/i]

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

Physical appearance ~ : With leathery skin that looks like scales covers his body and a face elongates like a dragon's, Arc is quite fearsome when he wants to be. His teeth are those of a predator, a carnivore. His skin is silvery, and has a platinum luster to it. He has the traditional dreadlocks-like hairstyle of the drakes. He is 6'7", and weighs over 200 lbs.(but is very self conscious about his weight)

Clothing/Accessories ~ : He wears no shirt, and has pants that are torn at the knee, so as to make makeshift shorts. They are made of some animal skin, tanned in some unearthly way. They were a gift from his people years before.

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

~Personality~

As you're walking through the door, you see many sights that influence your mood. The different feelings that suddenly wash over you are many, leaving you with a strange mix of emotions.

[/i]

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

Alignment ~ : Undecided (a Neutral stand)

Behavior ~ : Arc is very honorable but is also prone to fits of rage, especially if someone mentions his people in a bad light. He is wise at times, and he has knowledge that some might dream of. He also lacks some knowledge that most find commonplace, however... All in all, he is a rather mysterious person to be around, sometimes taking offense to the slightest gesture, sometimes the most polite and pleasant company. A caution to those conversing with a drake: you may find yourself in a fight if you persist on saying things that offend said drake's honor(said drake=Arc).

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

~Weapons~

Suddenly, a Heartless appears in front of you, brandishing its claws and threatening to attack. You reach for your weapon and equip it, ready to defend yourself.

Primary Weapon(s)

ID: Silverstreak and Quicksilver
Quality: Average

Light coolly glints off of the twin blades. The steel seems to issue a challenge to you, daring you to be brave enough to fight its wielder.
Arc wields twin blades, both of them seemingly designed off of katanas. They are, however, an entirely different brand of sword altogether. The swords are as long as katanas, but they are thivker width-wise. The cut is only slightly thicker than that of a katana, but it can pierce twice as deep. The blade is also double sided, unlike any katana I'VE seen. Sometimes he will only call one and wield it two-handed.

Secondary Weapon(s)

ID: None

[In this space please give a brief, physical description of the secondary weapon(s) your character wields]

~Abilities~

Just as you're about to fight the creature, you feel the power of your ancestors filling you. The strength of a thousand men courses through your veins as you prepare for battle.

AP left: 0

Draconic Focus
Arc is constantly in a meditative state, which heightens his awareness. It enables his senses to pick up on things they normally might miss--his sense range on all of his senses increase by 1.5x. Some things may shock him out of this meditative state, and when he sleeps he also loses the meditation. When he awakens he has to spend at least 2 minutes in solitude to regain the focus.

Loss accumulates after: Sleep, anger, any other extreme emotion, doing something that betrays his honor. A moderate mind-affecting ability can break his focus, as can the loss of a limb, or any other extreme physical attack, such as a broken bone or other sensory overload.

Strength: Weak
Uses: Permanently active, until lost. Then 2 minutes of solitude is required to regain it.

Dragon's Endurance
Whenever he has a Draconic Focus, Arc is able to ignore and/or withstand more crippling blows.

After taking a critical and/or high damaging hit, Arc can instead relinquish his Focus and have the hit become a normal or weaker one--depends on the hit. A critical would become normal, a normal would become a weak one--in essence, any hit would be downgraded a single level. He also takes less damage all-around, about 85% of normal damage.

This can only effect normal attacks or physically striking abilities.

Strength: Weak
Uses: Activated upon the achievement of a Draconic Focus.

Draconic Flames
Equivalent to the Fire spell, only a ray of flame instead of a ball, range limit of 20 feet. The ray is 2 feet wide.

Strength: Weak
Uses: 1 per 3 posts.

Cover

Seemingly, Arc teleports and stands in front of Emi. He wouldn't let the Heartless hurt her.
Arc leaps out in front of his ally, hurtling faster than is normally possible, and takes the hit. Can be paired with Draconic Endurance so the blows are more easily shrugged off.

Strength: Weak
Uses: One per post, three post cooldown, unlimited uses.

Appearance(s): The very same as the Nobodies, as they are such.

Abilities:

Jump:
The Dragoon disappears into the air and, a few moments later, reappears above an enemy, about 5 feet above the enemy's head, and drops to stab the ground for a short range burst attack--approximately 7 feet outward is the range of the burst, and it is about a 5 on the Richter scale. This can be blocked, and then Learn can be used to use the ability against the Dragoon.

Strength: Moderate
Uses: 1 per 3 posts per Dragoon.

~History~

As you slay the last of the beasts, you put your weapon aside, and walk away, knowing your tale of bravery will be told for thousands of years to come.

[/b][/i]

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

Watching his homeworld destroyed was the hardest thing Arc had ever done. That day marked his 40th birthday(about 10 to a normal human), and the day of his promise: he would have revenge on the Heartless whom caused his world's annihilation, albeit inadvertently.

The world's destruction left its scars on his soul, and his mind as well. He witnessed his own people destroy their world as an attempt to destroy the Heartless infesting it like a cancer. His people all scattered across the universe, there only being a few hundred left. At this point, there is even less so. All Heartless immediately attack them, seemingly bearing a grudge for destroying a world they could have swallowed in darkness.

He moved from world to world after the obliteration, having truly nowhere to call his own home. He is searching for a place to belong, and has been almost his whole life. When he was young, his parents were killed, their hearts stolen by the Heartless, the evil creatures. He lived by himself, with some of the others supporting him, and made friends with the Nobodies he summoned.

He participated in few events concerning the future, having not chosen any side to ally himself in what he considers his short time in the universe. He is the equivalent of a human 16 year old, and has the same experience in most things, but has seen much more violence and war, and they, too, have left their marks on him.

At present date, he moves throughout the cosmos waiting to find his home.

~Class~

Before you embark on your journey a vision comes upon you. You see three weapons in front of you.

~ A sword of terrible destruction - The power of the warrior: Invincible courage.

~ A shield to repel all - The power of the guardian: Kindness to aid friends.

~ A staff of wonder and ruin - The power of the mystic: Inner strength.

You know that one of them must be chosen. What power will you seek?

Guardian

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

~Other~

Drake: They are slightly more resilient(tougher skin), faster, and they live 4x longer. In contrast, they develop 4x slower and have an odd sense of honor, which can sometimes get in the way of social interactions. Some of them also have a certain affinity for Nobodies and controlling them.

[lysander]

6'7?? You're gonna have some trouble with doors there buddy. xD

Special Class: Are you sure you want to be a tamer for your first character? Usually people have an easier time of it doing a normal first, but if you think you've got it that's fine too. Bit of advice though, starting a tamer off with a strong ability saves a good chunk of munny.

Silverstreak/Quicksilver: The quality would be "Average". We have a system somewhere around these parts that allows you to buy enhancements for your weapon. More information can be found Here.

Draconic Focus: How strong would an attack have to be to break this focus? How effective is his awareness? Please give examples of these.

Draconic Endurance: I need something more definite to understand than "It depends on the hit". Does a Strong-level ability become a Moderate-level ability? Or does this only apply to physical attacks? Also 85% is a huge amount, especially for a weak ability, the most I would willingly accept here is 20%, and even that's a bit of a lucky stretch.

Draconic Flames: How wide is the ray?

Dragoon's Jump: How high is the jump? Can you also give an example of how strong the shockwave is? And the bit about Learn isn't really necessary, unless you really want to include it.

History: This is a little jumbled, and there really should be more material here. You talk about some sort of inadvertent world destruction and his parents dying, but you don't really explain much of anything that's happened to him. With sixty four years of experience under his belt, at least a few major events worth mentioning must have happened.

Your Note At The End: As long as you understand that you need to have abilities for speed and endurance to use those traits in battle.

[Draconas]

"He also takes less damage all-around, about 85% of normal damage."

I assumed if you read carefully, you'd understand that what I said was that he takes 85% of the normal damage, which means he actually reduces it by 15%. Sorry if you didn't get the message.

About the Dragoon's Jump? They disappear, meaning they are not there for a few instants. So there really is no distance they go...they just go.

And yes, I understand that the toughness and speed would be useless in a fight. It's very minute anyhow. Just enough to be noticeable, but small enough to be useless in a real fight.

[lysander]

*ahem* Sorry on the 85% deal, that's my bad. But I'm still confused as to whether or not Draconic Endurance deals with both abilities and attacks, or just attacks.

Once again, if you're going to be falling you have to go get above the ground right? Whether or not it's a physical jump, or a disappearing act I still asked how high the jump ability put them. =P

Other than that, your improvements are great and reasonable, and your history is much better. ^__^

[Draconas]

Okay, this should be good now >.>

[lysander]

Sweeeet stufffffff. Sorry I've been long in getting to it, the whole staff is crazy with school and other projects right now, so if you can find it in your heart to forgive me, I'd greatly appreciate it, and would not turn around to stab you in the back when you least expected it deny your profile.

Your profile is pretty close to acceptance, I just need to get that clarification on Draconic Endurance about how it deals with abilities as opposed to physical attacks.

Does a strong level ability become a moderate one, or does it just get reduced in damage? Does the same go for Moderate and Weak level abilites?

[Draconas]

It says it is essentially downgraded a single level, as in from strong to moderate, moderate to weak, or weak to 1/2 damage.

[lysander]

Hahaha, alright. Taken care of. I will accept this, yeah, yeah.

Accepted, Locked, Moved.[/u][/i]
