Welcome to MusE Industries, the leading producer in parallel universe exploration. What would you like to know? [spoiler=What do you mean, 'Parallel Universe Exploration'?] Oh, that's an easy one! To properly explain this concept, I must first give you a bit of history. ~Back in 2010 -you know, the [i]old[/i] days- a discovery was made. This discovery is known as the Interdimensional Connection Creator, but it is more simply referred to as a Portal. The Portal allows us to connect with other dimensions, places of varying dimensions and elements! And lo and behold- we found that rips between fabrics have been going on all the time, and places like Oly[color="#FF0000"]m[/color]pus, Valhalla, and the Pokemon World had all been based on other dimensions! Naturally, this created quite a stir within the scientific community. People wanted to know what was in all these different dimensions -collectively called the Multiverse- and the first expeditions into the worlds bro[color="#FF0000"]u[/color]ght back startling results. Energy previously called dark matter, energy not understood, was suddenly given meaning- it was discovered that dark matter had an effect on time and space, and could alter conditions within different dimensions- even to the extent that a whole new dimension could be made with dark matter. Dark matter, used in the right way, could even bestow god-like powers! Scientists began studying furiously for ways to harness this dark matter. Skip forward 40 years. Scientists have made another breakthrough, and a piece of equipment known as the Arc Caster has been created. The Arc Caster is purely personal use, looking not much more that a fancy metal glove, but the Arc Caster can harness dark matter, to varying degrees! However, dark matter needed to found and 'collected' before it could be used. And dark matter was not distributed evenly between worlds- here and there we would find 'pools' of dark matter, and in others we would find nothing at al[color="#FF0000"]l[/color]! And so, MusE Industries was born. Designed to find these 'pools', MusE Industries has been making advances in technology, physiology, and many more subjects by using Arc Casters. We have also altered reality to make our dimension a safer place to live in! And that, is 'Parallel Universe Exploration'![/spoiler] [spoiler=How do you explore Parallel Universes?] We send out expeditions, of course! Some of the worlds we travel to to collect pools (see above question) are dangerous, so these expeditions are made up of men trained in combat and in use of Arc Cas[color="#FF0000"]t[/color]ers. These expeditions travel through dimensions using Portals, which have been set up to provide nearly instantaneous travel between dimensions- and even if there is no Portal nearby, expedit[color="#FF0000"]i[/color]ons can create them using dark matter stored in their Arc Casters simultaneously. This makes it quite simple for expeditions to 'explore Parallel Universes'![/spoiler] [spoiler=Explain Arc Casters.] Arc Casters are the instruments we use to access dark matter. By using dark matter, we can do all sorts of things- from destroying buildings to making wild animals tame! Of course, this power could be disastrous in the wrong hands, but the Amundsen-Scott Con[color="#FF0000"]ve[/color]ntion has been put in place to stop all unlawful- [b]BREAKING NEWS ALERT! -THE AMUNDSEN-SCOTT CONVENTION HAS BEEN BROKEN. USE OF MANY ARC CASTERS WAS [color="#FF0000"]R[/color]ECORED IN MOST KNOWN UNIVERSES AT 18 HUNDRED HOURS TODAY, IN AN ACT NOW CALLED THE DISRUPTION EVENT. ALL EXPEDITIONS REPORT DAMAGE TO UNIVERSE HAS BEEN DONE AND MOST UNIVERSE HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT OF ORDER. DISARRAY, CONFLICTS AND OVERALL DISRUPTION HAS BEEN REPORTED. EXPEDITIONS FROM MusE INDUSTRIES ARE ON THE SCENE AND TRYING TO REPAIR UNIVERSES BEFORE DAMAGE TO THE OVERALL MULTIVERSE HAS BEEN REPAIRED. REASONS BEHIND THIS ATTACK ARE NOT KNOWN, BUT POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING INTO THE MATTER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. NOW BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL BROADCAST.[/b][/spoiler] [spoiler=How Many Universes Exist?] Quite a few! At last count, the number hovered around 25,000; Precise calculation is unknown due to constant Portal creation. Many of them have been mentioned in mythology and modern-day pop culture. Odds are, the last game you played had in [color="#FF0000"]s[/color]ome way been affected by another dimension![/spoiler] [spoiler=What Am I Doing Here?] You, my lucky friend, have been chosen to be on one of the expeditions, Expedition #909 to be precise, that is trying to repair damage caused by the Disruption Ev[color="#FF0000"]e[/color]nt. You were chosen for certain skills you possess that will help you repair the damage. Don't remember signing up? Don't worry, you came here willingly. You just don't remember. Now go meet the rest of the expedition! Pay no attention to the plate glass windows and locked doors. Those are, err, there for your safety. Now go! Run along![/spoiler][/spoiler] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [spoiler=Rules of the Road] It's gonna be tricky out there! For you to survive in the hostile environments, you'll have to follow MusE guidelines: 1. Follow the Advance Clause. 2. It's my RP. My word is law. 3. Arguments will be settled through PM, not on the RP. 4. To prove you have read this word, find all the letters highlighted in red throughout this post and form a word from it. Send a PM to me with the word in it directly after submitting your app. (I made it easy for ya. All letters can be found in the 'Information Desk' section. 5. I am allowed to tweak, alter, and change your app in any way. You will not argue against me. 6. Good grammar is needed. I'm going to be more strict this time, so if I find any mistakes, you're not getting in. 7. Failure to comply with these rules will result in, first, a warning. Second time around, I'm going to ban you from the RP for three days. If you still cannot follow the rules or post during the time you are banned will result in me going to the moderators. I don't want to do that. Please don't make me do that.[/spoiler] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [spoiler=Travel Log] This is where we'll track our progress between worlds. If you haven't posted in a while and feel lost, check here to make sure the problem isn't that we've moved to another universe.

I will not be accepting anyone that says stuff like 'Unknown, called Blah Blah Blah', so take that into account. You're not going to get a job if you say your name is Ghost.} [b][u]AGE[/u][/b]: {Keep it realistic. A schoolboy, nor a oldster is going to go on a dangerous expedition into other worlds.} [b][u]GENDER[/u][/b]: {Male or Female.} [b][u]APPEARANCE[/b][/u]{Once again, keep everything in here realistic. You will be exploring strange universes, not be part of them.} - [b]Height:[/b] {Your height, optimally presented in a feet'inches form.} - [b]Weight:[/b] {Shown in pounds please.

Arc Casters will take care of most of the character's offensive needs., so no big weapons are truly needed. However, if circumstance dictates it, then you may pick up a secondary weapon. Also make sure to include such things as a survival kit and food; we might be roughing it.} [/spoiler] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [spoiler=Accepted Applications] [spoiler=Quiksilver] USER NAME: Willpower_9 NAME: Felix Aleisus AGE: 28 GENDER: Male APPEARANCE: - Height: 6'1 - Weight: 152 lbs. - Body Shape: Athletic, but is rather more developed in his legs more than his arms because for exercise Felix plays soccer. (He's a goalie.) So, his arms are not what you'd expect from a athletic man, but he still is quite one. - Hair Style & Color: Felix' has brown hair that tends to go blond at the edges. It is styled into a faux mohawk do, but overtime it flattens down into a simple layered look, This will probably happen during the RP, due to the fact we will usually neither have the time or resources available to style our hair regularly. - Eye Color: Felix has stormy grey eyes that are flecked with dots of gold. - Complexion: Browned - Clothing: Felix generally dresses in a semi-formal manner, usually with a white t-shirt, not unlike a dress shirt, paired with a dark hoodie which has the sleeves rolled up. The formal part of this outfit consists of dress pants and good shoes he usually wears with the outfit. Sometimes he might have a rakish tie put on too. PERSONALITY: Felix is quite the extrovert. Needy of attention and funny, he always makes sure he is the one at the center of the 'cool' crowd. He was one of those people that could walk into a room and instantly be the most popular person there- and, in this aspect at least, his talent helped him. Felix always tries to be cool and collected- but at heart he's a big softie. Socially conscious, Felix always tries to make sure he's in the current 'groove', making him care very much about what people say about him. The other aspect of Felix is a fun-loving soccer player. Having spent every summer in Europe, where the nation sport is soccer, he naturally became quite good at it, and even joined the college soccer team all four years. This side is casual and just fun to be around, more so than his popular, style-conscious side. - Likes: Spicy food, sport-playing girls, soccer, classic movies - Dislikes: Bugs (Has Entomophobia), Chinese food, modern movies SKILLS: Felix can obtain a feel for people almost the second he meets them. This means he's very good at reading people. In just a few short seconds talking with you, Felix can tell you your likes, dislikes, mannerisms, personality, and even which hand you prefer. Some might call this ability just intuition, but a lot of people call Felix's skill uncanny... Felix is also bilingual, speaking both Italian and English, but this does not really matter unless we're visiting said locations. PARTNER: Iorek Byrnison - Place of Origin: Svalbard, the North, Lyra's World [url]http://hdm.wikia.com/wiki/Iorek[/url] - Partner's Skills: Possesses great strength, can crush a man with a single blow, wears nearly impenetrable armor, and is a expert smith. BIOGRAPHY: Felix's parents were the type that were always on the go. Born to a executive at the Ministero degli Affari Esteri, (Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs), he naturally moved around from place to place. As a child, Felix never had many long-time friends due to his parents constant moving, but since he had to join so many different schools and such, he naturally grew good at making (short-term) friends, a skill that would eventually grow into his talent. Felix actually spend the better time of his life in England and America, and so, when Felix left his oft-moving family to go to college, it was only natural that Felix left to go to a English-speaking college; MIT, to be precise, becoming a American citizen in the process. Graduating later with a masters degree in mechanical engineering, Felix plunged into job-hood with the naive but unfortunately oft-said idea that a degree would get him a job. It didn't. Two years later, and still job-less, Felix became desperate and enrolled in the U.S. Army. Assigned to a Explosive Ordinance Disposal Team (i.e. a Bomb Squad) due to his mechanical expertise, Felix quickly advanced through the ranks, garnering himself enough recognition as a talented bomb remover that he was eventually given a top-secret mission by the Department of Defense that he still can't speak of today. But it wasn't enough. Maybe it's his extroverted nature, but Felix wanted to be even more well-known, wanting to be someone who would go down in history. And then, Felix heard of MusE... EQUIPMENT: - U.S. Army Survival Guide Manual: FM 21-76 - A black dive watch - Army-issued knife; M9 Bayonet - Backpack with rations lasting for up to two weeks - Pair of extra socks[/spoiler] [spoiler=Hydra of Legend] USER NAME: Hydra of Legend NAME: Alexander R. Bell AGE: 27 GENDER: Male APPEARANCE: - Height: 5'10 - Weight: 132 lb - Body Shape: Abnormally slender and petite, with little muscle mass and rounded, rather than squared, proportions. Stringy, almost malleable, but not particularly bony; seems to 'flow' rather than seem like skin attached to bones. Figure seems more feminine than masculine. - Hair Style & Color: Golden blond, tied backward behind the head into a ponytail that reaches partially down his shoulders. He has long, noticable bangs that frame either side of his face that, almost hinting at the beginnings of a mullet. - Eye Color: Dark blue with a hint of violet around the pupil. - Complexion: Rather pale. - Clothing: A traditional, legal-standard business suit ensemble with a couple small deviations. The coat is a bright royal purple and seemingly fashioned out of a thicker sort of material than is traditional; it's nearly stainproof, resistant to tears and cuts, and is suprisingly good insulation. His pants, while black, are made of a similar sort of cloth. His shirt, beneath his jacket, is a white regular dress shirt made from of a cottonfiber blend, as is his tie, which is colored a darker shade than his coat. PERSONALITY: Alexander is rational, calm, and almost entirely unfettered. Absolutely nothing suprises him, and he takes things in strike that would render lesser men tiny, shivering wrecks. He has the uncanny ability to focus only on what needs to be done, and ignoring anything else until it becomes relevant, but despite that, he is very creative and liable to think outside the box. He is dry, extraordinarily sarcastic, and takes very little at face value; he has seen enough to know that nothing is ever obvious at first glance. Interestingly, he both trusts and mistrusts anyone he meets. He will take people who seem to be sincere at their word, but he doesn't stupidly get behind anything anyone else says. He will poke flaws in ideas or cover stories, even in those he trusts, and has an insatiable desire to know the truth behind things that actually matter to him. He can get along with anyone who wants to be gotten along with, but doesn't bother trying to endear himself to people who would obviously not prefer his company. - Likes: Alexander enjoys peeling away lies and deceit in order to reveal the truth, true artstic imagery or writing (especially that of the classical period), vibrant colors such as purple, red or green, patterns and shapes that stand out and are pleasing to the eye, fine upper-class food and liquors, orchestral music, intellectual challenges and puzzles (especially ones that require him to think laterally), and local myths and legends. - Dislikes: Alexander hates thieves and liers, people who think of only themselves and twist the truth or the law to their own ends, dislikes fast or poorly made food, most modern music styles, people who are inordinately rude or abrasive, people who cannot take their time to sit back and relax, and dull, boring colors (such as black and white). He can sense a lack of creativity from a mile away and hates cliches in anything they might apply in. SKILLS: Alexander is, as per his job, an expert debater and mediator, able to sway people to his point of view, or make his own points, and command attention while doing so. He is a good public speaker, does not trip over his words, and can clearly and eloquently explain his points. Likewise, he is great at lateral thinking and puzzling out the solutions to riddles of all sorts; he is good at identifying clues, and their application to an incident on the whole. He can read people rather well, and is difficult to fool, having represented a good number of them in court. In addition, he is a fair hand in the kitchen and is capable of making Cordon Bleu-class meals, provided he is given good enough ingredients, though not nearly as quickly or with as much experience as an actual chef. Similarly, he is a decent painter and author, though both are little more than hobbies. While he doesn't have any musical talent, he does have a good ear for notes and can tell good music. PARTNER: Bastet - Place of Origin: The Egyptian Pantheon (http://en.wikipedia....yptian_pantheon) - Partner's Skills: Bastet has the ability to communicate with all felines creatures, and is revered and idolized by them, due to being their matron goddess. She has incredible balance and the dexterity of a cat, able to twist and contort her body in order to fit the situation. In addition, she can also change her shape from her human form, into that of a housecat. Bastet is a warrior deity, and considered protector of Ra. Her claws have the strength of a tigress, and her connection to the God of Flames allows her to move through fire unharmed. BIOGRAPHY: Alexander was born in London, England, where he lived for the first ten years of his life before he and his family emigrated to America. His father being a university professor and his mother a reporter for the local news, he was kept to a high intellectual standard for most of his life. He moved around quite often; his father often had postings in multiple schools across the nation, and his mother's job required them to be wherever the news was. Alexander quickly grew disgusted with what he perceived was a culture of lies and denial to see the truth. He lost all respect for people who let themselves be blinded to simple fact simply because it was 'convenient' for them, and quickly used his intellect to correct the naive of bigoted who felt their opinion was unjustifiably important. As he grew older, he felt naturally attracted to the field of Law, where he'd be able to affect this sort of thing at its core. Attracted to a place where he could strain his mind in order to uncover the truth. He underwent basic military training in his later teens, and even briefly flirted with the idea of becoming a cop. He was a member of the reserves for several years, which funded most of his university tuition fees. Adequately skilled with a handgun and a variety of other military-grade arms, he put away the physical side of law in order to focus on its more bureaucratic cousin; lawyerdom. A prodigy, Alexander passed the Bar exam at a record pace, and was quickly set up in a local law firm, where he dealt largely with felony charges as a private lawyer. He was exceptionally adept at his job, but he had an odd habit that stayed many from coming to his door; any case he worked it, had the truth irreversibly revealed. He refused to engage in subterfuge to avoid giving proper facts to the jury, and nudged things in the favor of his client only when he was entirely sure that the evidence was skewed against him. This sort of odd morality is not always strictly appreciated in an attorney, and he made a fair few enemies in this manner. He didn't particularly care; after all, he just wanted the truth. EQUIPMENT: A satchel that contains, among other things, an expansive first-aid kit, various vacuum-sealed ingredients (and a multitude of spices), a few paperback novels, several pens, a survival kit, and an extra (identical) set of clothes to change into if necessary. He carries a small compact pistol to use in emergencies. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Mako109] NAME: Jacob Weath AGE: 23 GENDER: Male APPEARANCE: - Height: 6'3" - Weight: 225 - Body Shape: Muscular, but round in the gut. Broad shoulders. - Hair Style & Color: [s]The stereotypical Yu-Gi-Oh Spiky and colorful hairstyle.[/s] Dark Brown. Short. - Eye Color: Hazel - Complexion: As in, color? Kind of a Light, maybe Pale Brown. - Clothing: He carries with him at ALL times his favorite hat. It is a Base Ball cap with the Halo Logo on it. He wears a range of clothes, from dark sweats to jeans. Typically wears tee-shirts, unless the environment demands otherwise. PERSONALITY: Patient, to a degree. Friendly, Social, and, the worst of them all, sarcastic. - Likes: Video Games, food, Comedy. Team Work, Guns, Explosions, and friendly people. - Dislikes: His lack of Stamina. SKILLS: Ever since a young age, he has been a terrific tactical planner. His skills have been rumored to rival generals, although this theory has never been proven. He also has a great aim, nailing targets from distances that snipers would be used, with just his .45. PARTNER: A Grunt. - Place of Origin: I have no Wikia...and I can't get one, either....But its a grunt from every Halo game. Not to hard to know about. - Partner's Skills: Carries a variety of weapons, from Plasma Pistols, Needlers, or Fuel Rods. Also, Lobs Plasma Grenades. A very weak target, but loyal. Very Low HP, is more of Backup, so he is not often the 1st target. Good at communicating with lower life forms. BIOGRAPHY: Born and raised just a normal kid, in California. Always wanting to be in a battle field, he often recreated battles, and played RTS games, which increased his skill in planning. He also went shooting often, which helped his Aim. He didn't have many friends growing up, never married and was a junior video game designer, causing him to get a large gut, no matter how much exercise he did. Once he heard of M.u.s.E, he jumped to join, knowing that in the thousands of Universes, the one he had in mind was there somewhere (Care to take a guess as to which one? XD). He would have been turned down, but was accepted for Acing the Tactical Planning and Sharpshooting parts of the tests. He has been with them for 3 Months. He doesn't like to use his Arc Caster, mainly because he is bad at it. He will use it when necessary, but prefers his .45 over anything. EQUIPMENT: .45 Colt. Knife. Grenades if Necessary. Med-kits, clothes, Pen and Paper, plus a Data pad, for planning. Also, a laser designator, with nothing linked to it. A Bible, a due to his religion. He carries 4 clips for his .45 per mission, 8 bullets per clip. Has a 1001 ways to Win a War book. Has his Gameboy Advance SP.

A great idea might pop up and the more a suggestion posted here is liked, the more likely I'll put it into place.[/spoiler] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Erghh. Did not mean to post this just yet; I was waiting to announce it. Well, I guess I'll just go with the flow, so from here forth this RP will be a Beta Test for the real MusE.

A prodigy, Alexander passed the Bar exam at a record pace, and was quickly set up in a local law firm, where he dealt largely with felony charges as a private lawyer. He was exceptionally adept at his job, but he had an odd habit that stayed many from coming to his door; any case he worked it, had the truth irreversibly revealed. He refused to engage in subterfuge to avoid giving proper facts to the jury, and nudged things in the favor of his client only when he was entirely sure that the evidence was skewed against him. This sort of odd morality is not always strictly appreciated in an attorney, and he made a fair few enemies in this manner. He didn't particularly care; after all, he just wanted the truth. [b]EQUIPMENT:[/b] A satchel that contains, among other things, an expansive first-aid kit, various vacuum-sealed ingredients (and a multitude of spices), a few paperback novels, several pens, a survival kit, and an extra (identical) set of clothes to change into if necessary. He carries a small compact pistol to use in emergencies. [/Spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexsuncion Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 [b]USER NAME[/b]: Lexsuncion [b]NAME[/b]: Dr. John Crawford [b]AGE[/b]: 28 [b]GENDER[/b]: Male [b]APPEARANCE[/b] - [i]Height[/i]: 5'7'' - [i]Weight[/i]: 167 lbs. - [i]Body Shape[/i]: A Fairly well-built man. He probably jogs regularly, for the sake of fitness. - [i]Hair Style & Color[/i]: Neat, clean-cut, and short. An Inch long. - [i]Eye Color[/i]: His left eye's iris has taken a slate-gray color from bio-mechanical augmentation. His right eye remains true to to its natural color: Blue. - [i]Complexion[/i]: Fair, with a slight tan. - Clothing: When not fighting, or working in his cute little lab jacket, John is in a suit. When it is too hot for a suit, he wear's something comparable to "half-a-suit"; black slacks, or shorts, and a short-sleeved, white Button-Up T-Shirt. [b]PERSONALITY[/b]: John is a friendly, mild man, who thinks about others' well being more often than not. His concern for the safety of others often leads him to frown, and crease his brow, leaving the trade-mark "Doctor's Brow" most people in the medical profession have due to the heavy stress. Despite this, he appears happy enough and is a very inviting person. -[i] Likes[/i]: Helping others, good clean humor, Romantic comedies. - [i]Dislikes[/i]: Disorganization, the pain of others, Fighting in general. [b]SKILLS[/b]: [i]Doctor[/i]:John Crawford is a doctor. Not only that, but John can easily be described as a quote: "Freaking, amazing doctor!". He has saved lives when other men and women in his profession have broke down and thrown in the towel. [i]Ocular Implant[/i]:Like most doctors of the era, John has an ocular implant in his left eye, allowing him to magnify his vision. This is only useful for seeing details on something close up, rather than far away. It's more like a microscope than a spyglass, but of course not nearly as powerful. [b]PARTNER[/b]: Emiya Shirou - Emiya, in his desire to help others, and protect the ideals of order and justice, gets along well (Most of the time) with John. - [i]Place of Origin[/i]: [html]http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Emiya_Shirou[/html] - [b]Partner's Skills[/b]: [i]Ax out Avalon making him annoyingly invincible, and Unlimited Blade Works and Tracing. Those are a bit too silly.[/i] [i]Reinforcement[/i]: Able to strengthen, sharpen, and generally "Make-better" normal objects temporarily. This, however, weakens the object afterward. [i]Projection[/i]: Emiya is able to make items he has observed temporarily. When John says "Scalpel", Emyia can create one. [b]BIOGRAPHY[/b]: John grew up in the United States of America, born to a wealthy mother and father. Of course, the wealthy family produced as well-off young man, with the ability to become society's most revered type of worker. He went to private schools until his last year of high school, where he felt it would be best to integrate with the "Common folk". It was in this last, fateful year, that John was exposed to the true problems of the world. -His parents, and all his former teachers were liars and con-artists. The world was not perfect. They only people who loved him were his parents and a select few friends. The land of "Equal opportunity" was one big lie, full of drugs, sex, murder and strife. If not for this eye-opening year, John would have probably become a politician, or maybe the next great president. But in a world so pained and torn, he couldn't hope to be a leader. Instead, John chose to become a doctor. -With all his heart and passion, John rushed down the path of "saving lives". He was a prodigy, a "miracle" by many people's standards. Better yet, unlike most men who experienced tragedy and defeat at least once, John was a doctor for five years before his first patient died. He didn't grieve unnecessarily afterward, either. One man was not enough to condone John doing a poor job in saving hundreds of men. It was this resolve and medical ability that got him noticed by "MusE". -In basic training, John found that his resolve and proactive striving suited him well for combat. He was a good wrestler and fighter both because he learned the technicalities quickly and perfectly, and because of his strong resolve. Despite being a good combatant--perhaps the current world's best field medic--John detested combat. He became a good soldier for the sake of helping others, not for the sake of fighting. He viewed fighting, and all of its toys, to be inhumane and a hypocrisy to his true profession. -Training with the Arc Caster well shakily at first. The creating, and destroying, and making and controlling was alien and weird. He was no stranger to Arc Casters, but the way they were used in MusE was beyond his imagination. It was like school all over again, forcing John to take alternate realities and other ideals previously thought only to be philosophical into consideration. The flip side, however, was that John, like many other doctors hired by MusE, was unmatched(except by the many other doctors...) when it came to the use of an Arc Caster for technical and detailed work. John's natural talent for medical work, along with his new skills with an Arc Caster quickly earned him the nick name "[i]Hand of God[/i]" by people in the program with him. The name didn't stick with him after he finished the training program, to his relief. [b]EQUIPMENT[/b]: --[b]A Doctor's best friend[/b]:John carries a medial bag with him at all times. He is prepare for the worst, especially with his Buddy Emiya being better-suited for close-combat than ranged. In the bag is typical stuff like disinfectant, razors, and bandages. John, if necessary, could preform a field amputation, but with Arc Casters, and medical advancements, that wont be necessary! --[b]A Notebook Computer[/b]: One of the few things John has spent a very large sum of money on. This lap top is cutting-edge in human durability-technology. Made of super-fibers, super-alloys, and pretty much anything one could slap the word "Super" on. John is able to record written notes on the interactive screen, or type with the keyboard. It has video-transmission and picture taking capability. John mostly uses it as a record book and has had it for about a year now. It's been a useful little tool. --[b]The [i]Second-Best[/i] Defense...[/b]: John's skill with an Arc Caster's offensive nature warrants him carrying a hand gun, and a knife. --[b]42[/b]: As a joke, a co-worker bought him a copy of "The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" when he learned John was joining MusE. --[b]Just The Basics[/b]: Food for two week's worth of roughing it, for three people. A tent you could cram aforementioned three people into with enough luck. A nice, heavy blanket. A deck of playing cards. a Bible. "[i]Micro-Biology On-The-Go Kit[/i]: everything you need to record and observe what you can't record and observe.[size="1"](TM)[/size]" Extra ammunition for a hand gun. A 10 ft. length of rope made of some special super-fiber. Four Two-Way radios. All contained within a titanium-framed, water and heat resistant hiking pack.

Quiksilver Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 @Hydra: Love the app, but there still are some wrinkles. For one, why does it seem like Alexander is a weakling? I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but the phrase 'abnormally slender and petite" seems to bring that image to mind. With the high standards MusE holds it's agents too, such a man would seem...out of place. I would appreciate it if you could make mention of some sort of weapons training to offset this- just a little note, not much. The rest of the app is good. @Mako: Um...many grammar mistakes. What's with all the capitals? 'Always wanting to be in a Battle Field, he often recreated Battles, and played RTS games, which increased his Skill in Planning'. No. It just doesn't work. And yes, 13 is too young an age. Remember; MusE is a corporation, not a Pokemon thingy. There are discrepancies in your bio as well; if his parents died when he was 11, and he joined MusE two years later, who provided for him for this time? Please fix these mistakes. Also, I need you to take a gander at the rules. @evilfusion: Reserved. @Lexsuncion: No. Mention. Of. Any. Weakness. WHATSOEVER. Why is this man perfect??? Good at fighting, but doesn't like to kill. Finds himself good a everything. WTF? You need to change this, man. Give him some imperfections! And then there's the Partner. " Ax out Avalon making him annoyingly invincible, and Unlimited Blade Works and Tracing. Those are a bit too silly."? What does that mean? And the next part- "Projection: Emiya is able to make items he has observed temporarily. When John says "Scalpel", Emyia can create one"-...just no. That is way too powerful a power for him to have. The closest thing we will have to something that can create something out of nothingness is the Arc Caster: but you will notice, it has weaknesses, unlike this power- it relies on a rare energy source, and can only affect places in small ways. But that power has no such limits. It needs to be changed, STAT. @All: Thank you for all your applications, and though I may seem harsh, I'm just trying to make this a good RP for all. Thanks for understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexsuncion Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 [i]@Lexsuncion: No. Mention. Of. Any. Weakness. WHATSOEVER. Why is this man perfect???

But that power has no such limits. It needs to be changed, STAT.[/i] Right'o! The introduction didn't give much indication as to what the general "power level" of things were. I can assure you people like our fictitious John are much more common in the world than we think (Only without the robot eye!). However, John is very susceptible to metal insecurities and such! *Evil grin* The question comes down to how much fun with him do we want to have? I'm going to keep his "Super Doctor" framework, since everyone needs a doctor! However, we'll do some chopping and cutting here and there and make him perfect! Or...yeah... As for your questions about the Partner, it leads me to think you didn't really check up on him to make sure he was legit! Avalon is, if i recall correctly, the sheath of the sword of King Arther, according to the Fate/Stay Night world Emiya comes from. Basically what it did for him was make him damn-near invincible, to a very annoying degree. There were plenty of times where he should have out-right died(and one time where he DID die...) but magically regenerated over night. Since [b][i]I[/i][/b] didn't feel comfortable with that, I knew you wouldn't . Unlimited Blade Works is basically some super power that isn't explained very well, but the way i understand it is it's like some "Attack" of some form using all the Weapons(Swords, in Emiya's case) the person has observed in some sort of alternate dimension doom strike...thingy...It's also fairly broken beyond normalcy. Finally, Tracing is just like projection, except that it copies traits and powers of the thing Emiya makes. Meaning he could make any super magical sword he's ever seen in his entire life. Meaning no Since spontaneous Item creation is too powerfulz, we'll just chop that off. In the very beginning of the anime/visual novel, Emiya can only do that first thing, Reinforcement, so we can ditch him with that. Other than that, he's a very normal guy with a hero complex. Back to John! Let's chop off nearly all of his combat know-how, since to be a doctor, you don't need that. In fact, John will not only be a terrible combatant, but we'll also make him panic under the stressful situations he's bound to encounter. Something along the lines of "John can't handle new, unpredictable things very well." He's still an amazing doctor if he's in an operating room, but on the field, without his pretty clean coat and sanitized tools, he's a nervous wreck! Skill with an Arc Caster will go down to only medical This-and-that. Beyond medical focus with an Arc Caster, and again, rare contact at that, John is pretty much useless with these things: [i]"Damnit, Silver, I'm a doctor, not a sorcerer!"[/i] Beyond that, where would YOU like to see John falter? He's a blank, average slate being thrust into a strange world. Of course he will react to that a bit awkwardly, but what about back home? Does he have an inferiority complex? Did his first wife leave him?(Gasp?!) or should I make a new character? I can pull these guys out of nowhere, just like Emiya can make things from nothing!

Magnet Soldier Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 USER NAME: Magnet Soldier NAME: David Smith. AGE: 24 GENDER: Male APPEARANCE - Height: 6'2 - Weight: 14 Stone(Whatever that is in Pounds.) - Body Shape: Slightly muscular, but not body-builder stuff. - Hair Style & Color: Dark brown. Mop(Messy) - Eye Color: Electric Blue. - Complexion: Slightly pale. Usually mistaken for being sick. - Clothing: Usually found wearing a short sleeve top with the SlipKnot sign on it, under a dark blue denim jacket with light blue jeans. He also wears black trainers and a small crucifix under his shirt. PERSONALITY: David is a quick thinking rogue who will do almost anything to get what he wants. He is very cocky and will joke around with anyone who annoys him, until they try to kill him. However, he can be serious when he needs to be, and will do what his honor dictates. He was taught alot his skills by his friend Roland, and Rolands friends Eddie Dean, Susannah Dean and Jake Chambers. - Likes: David likes jokes and riddles, and anything else that challenges intelligence. He also likes action and thrills, and has always been a horror movie lover. He also likes ice cream, Bacon sandwiches and Heavy Metal music. - Dislikes: David hates easy riddles, and jokes that dont make sense(The one he hates most is the 'Why did the chicken cross the road'.) He also hates Indian food, Pop music and Romance movies, although he doesn't mind Romcom's, but does prefere all out comedy. SKILLS: David has heightened senses and reflexes, meaning he can hear a finger pulling a trigger of a sniper from about 300 yards away, and can dodge the bullet just before it leaves the barrel. His eye-sight is also doubled, his taste is great, and he has three times the smelling power of an average human. He can also feel the tiniest bug landing on his body, which is usually his bad point, as the pain he endures is 4 times as much as a normal human would. PARTNER: Roland Deschain of Gilead and Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower' novels. - Place of Origin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_Deschain - Partner's Skills: Incrediblely enhanced senses, can shoot a revolver at the pace of a machine gun, has increased agility, rarely misses with his gun, can hypnotise people with a Bullet shell, but it takes roughly 5 minutes, making it useless in battle. Also, he is missing two fingers on his right hand, making it almost useless. BIOGRAPHY: David was born a lower town boy, in 2020's Leeds, an exceptionally advanced city, third most advanced in England. He was street trash, could barely afford food....but never stole. Somehow he managed to survive. This was because, a few weeks after his mother died, a door appeared behind him. Noone could see this door, except him, and it was open. And a man was there. The man gave him food, and left. The door was still there, and followed him all his life. For 5 years it was there, and the man gave David food and two guns, revolvers. Even though it was 2039, in lower city Leeds, Revolvers were rare and wanted, and these revolvers were not normal. They rarely seemed to missed, and they had the power of a rocket launcher. The man trained David, and told David his name; Roland. Roland was a Gunslinger, who travelled universes through doors in dimensions, some of them inside a person. David believed this, after all, the door was still there. David also heard that such rips in dimensions were found regularly, but he doubted many of the were like the doors. He also helped Roland search for the Dark Tower again, which was apparently the center of all universes, and was crumbling once more. David was also taught more about being a Gunslinger, a sort of law officer in Rolands world. At first, David wouldn't believe Roland's speed, but soon he was rivalling it. He hasn't yet progress past Roland, but wishes to almost as much as he wishes to visit the Dark Tower. The door has gone, closed, but they find them regularly. He has been found by MusE as they approached the Dark Tower, and woke up in a MusE cell. For 3 weeks they were in there, weaponless and powerless. Soon, however, they agreed to work with MusE for now, until MusE find what they are looking for. David and Roland have yet to meet any fellow members, but are preparing to. EQUIPMENT: Twin enchanted revolvers, made from Excalibur. A swiss army knife. Matter Reader - A device that locates Dark Matter to within a 100 mile radius, to an exact point, give or take a mile. Also locates use of Dark Matter within a 2 mile radius, meaning it can locate the use of an Arc Caster. And of course, the Arc Caster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't want the group to be made up of doctors and lawyers; I wanted some combat experts, because, as I said, these places are different. First person accepted. @Magnet Soldier: I cannot grade your app until you read the rules...hint, hint... @Cry: Interesting app, but there are some simple technical problems with it. Like the grammar issues; word errors include Lady's and MuSe (It's MusE), but those are not HUGE problems. The main problems are with the Bio. No parent, no matter how tough, is able to get children into TOURNAMENTS at age 7; for one thing, that's too young, and for another, Child Services would be on his @$$ quicker than a New York minute. Also, if his parents were so controlling, why was he able to get into the Army, which seems like a choice he made himself? Also, that part about hunting crossbow- that's just stupid. Either explain these "personnel reasons" (Note the grammar error; that is copied from the app too), or remove it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiksilver Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 @Mako: No, not yet. You need TO READ THE RULES. Also, it's not just the one sentence I quoted that needs to be di-capitalized; there's many more.[/hint] @Magnet Soldier: Ehh. Your bio makes me really antsy. First off, why did you create so many plot points? Gunslingers, Dark Tower...I'll all for adding your own flair to an RP, but defining the center of the Multiverse is going a little to far. You'll need to change that. Also, that Portal that apparently 'follows' him around; nonsense. I might have forgotten to add this, but Portals are like 'doorways'; each one can only go to one place, it is non-moving, and can be opened and closed. Think of the Arc Caster as the mythical door-in-the-air creator. However, I will say this. Apart from the bio, the application is quite good. Except, you made the same mistake as Mako; SO MANY CAPITALIZATION. @Lexsuncion: Forgotten to mention, if you make the changes you said in your post, then you will be accepted. @All: Reached the point of applicants in which I will make my own character app. Expect it soon.

Quiksilver Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 @Mako: It's alright, you found it. I would accept your app now, but you said 'need a partner', mate. Would you like to choose one now, or should I leave it blank? (I'd rather have you choose now, but y'know- it's your choice.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Is choosing later an option? And can it be from ANYTHING? Like, a video game, or book, or some crap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
