Yu-Gi-Oh! Gates of Despair (Started/Accepting/PG-16/OOC)

[True Silent Echo]

[center][spoiler=Plot][spoiler=The Story][/center]
[center]It is said that, in ancient days, humanity was ruled by beings known as Immortals. This era (which would later come to be known as the ‘Golden Age’) was a time of peace and prosperity. Under the reign of Kronos, the king of the immortals, this utopia existed for countless years. Lawlessness and sin were nonexistent, and the peoples of the earth lived in harmony with each other. However, this was not to last.[/center]
[center]Over the centuries, humanity slowly began to grow corrupt. The signs were at first hard to notice, but it soon became apparent to the Immortals that their precious human race was being consumed by sinful nature. Kronos, driven mad by the fear of losing his kingdom, began to kill any humans whom he believed to be sinful.[/center]
[center]Humans began to fear for their lives, often going into hiding. As years passed, Kronos’ utopia became a veritable hellhole for all those living in it. The immortals, saddened by the humans’ fear and enraged by Kronos’ tyranny overthrew the king and banished him to Tartarus, the lowest level of the underworld. However, this was not as easy as it sounds. Since the gates of the underworld could only be opened through death, the immortals had to sacrifice their physical bodies as a cost to open them. However, their spirits lived on, and they watched humanity all throughout its history, hoping that they might yet change for the better.[/center]
[center]-------------[/center]
[center]A few months ago, a group of archaeologists uncovered an ancient artifact of unprecedented value. Mysterious as it was, it appeared to be a large door, or gateway. Curiously enough, it was perched upon a pedestal in the middle of a sealed tomb, with nothing behind it. Ancient texts written on the walls claimed this door to be ‘the gates to despair’. Six days after its discovery, the site was raided by a group of mysterious gunmen. The artifact was taken, and has not been recovered.[/spoiler][/center]


[center][spoiler=Current Day][/center]
[center]Duelists from all over the globe gather to partake in the largest competition in Duel Monsters’ history. To the victor of this tournament is promised wealth beyond the imagination. However, the truth behind this event is far darker than anyone could have guessed. A group of occultist terrorists (or idealists, as they like to call themselves) have searched long and hard for a way to resurrect the ancient King Kronos, who was the only being powerful enough to turn the entire world into a Utopia. At last, they have found it; the Gate to Tartarus that was recently dug up by archaeologists. It took no great effort to steal the gate. A well-trained group of mercenaries got the job done in record time.[/center]
[center]The true struggle would be opening the gate. Such a task would require incredible amounts of energy. This is where the Duel Tournament comes in.[/center]
[center]Each participant in the tournament is required to wear a special wristband, said to be a unique ID. However, the true purpose of these wristbands is to absorb the energy of the duelists wearing them. The energy absorbed is in small concentrations, barely noticeable to those who have it extracted from them. This energy is then stored and, when enough has been gathered, will be used to open the Gate to Tartarus and free Kronos.[/center]
[center]The Cultists hope that the immortal king would recreate the perfect world he once ruled, wiping out the sinful peoples of the world and rewarding those who serve him. But can any human truly live up to Kronos’ expectations? The immortals think not. Upon uncovering the cultist’s plot, the immortal spirits set out to find a way to foil it. Unable to do much without a body, however, they found suitable hosts to assist them. Sharing a mind space with their ideal hosts, these immortals must work together with their humans to devise a plan to stop the awakening of Kronos, and the end of the world as we know it.

[center][spoiler=Rules][/center]
[center]LITERACY – I expect at least 1 good paragraph per post. According to YCM advanced clause, this means at least four lines of text. You may choose write more if you wish, so long as each post isn’t a novella. Now, to grammar. Four lines of text is not that hard to muster up, which means that you’ll have plenty of time to make sure that your grammar is acceptable. They made spell check for a reason – use it, people. Finally, use “” for speaking and italics for thought.[/center]
[center]POSTING – Try to post at least once ever 2-3 days. This is the bare-minimum. If you do not post after 3 days (without notification), other roleplayers will be given permission to control your character’s actions until you do post. If you do not post within a week (without notification), I will think up some creative death for your character. If you will be unable to post for whatever reason, NOTIFY ME IN THE OOC THREAD or by PRIVATE MESSAGE.[/center]
[center]GOD-MODDING – You should all pretty much know what this means. Auto-hitting, meta-gaming and power-playing all fall under this category. Simply put – DON’T DO IT.[/center]
[center]DUELING – All Yu-Gi-Oh! rules apply. No summoning in defense position, normal summoning level 5s with no tribute, etc. This stuff is pretty basic. If you don’t know how to play the game, then you probably shouldn’t be here. We will be using the current ban lists, so be sure to check if there is a card that you’re not sure about. Custom cards are permitted, nay, encouraged. However, be sure to show us the image of the card when you use it. Also, make sure that the cards are not over powered. If the general consensus is that the cards you are using are too cheap, I will request that you change them. No character may possess the god cards or any other one-of-a-kind card. Finally, life points will start off at 4000, unless otherwise stated.[/center]
[center]STORY PROGRESSION (not so much of a rule as an important notice) – Don’t join this roleplay thinking that I have the future plot planned out. Because I don’t. To me, that would defeat the purpose of role playing, which is, in essence, cooperative story-telling. All major plot twists will be decided upon by group consensus. Have any ideas? Post them in the OOC. No idea is too far-fetched or stupid. On the reverse side, please refrain from calling anyone else's idea stupid.[/center]
[center]RESPECT - Pretty self-explanatory. Be kind to your fellow role players, and be sure to respect their opinions.[/center]
[center]ANY AND ALL OTHER YCM RULES APPLY, INCLUDING THE ADVANCED CLAUS.[/center]
[center]If you read these rules, tell me your favorite type of food when you submit your profile.[/center]

[center][spoiler=Setting][/center]
[center][b]This Roleplay[/b] takes place in an alternate universe from the Yu-Gi-Oh! series, meaning that no characters from the show/manga are present in this world.[/center]
[center][b]Duel Tournament[/b] is broken up into three smaller competitions. The first is a survival duel, in which participants duel each other freely in a quest to collect 100 points. Duelists decide on a wager before the match begins, and the winner gets the set amount taken from the loser’s point count. Points start at 20, and if anyone reaches 0 points, they are disqualified. The second is a tag duel tournament, where competitors are randomly teamed up with each other and must remain each other's partners until the end of the competition. Tag duels follow these rules; In this competition, all teams will face each other at least once. The teams with the most wins advance to the next stage. The third of these competitions is an arranged elimination tournament, where participants duel each other in one-on-one matches. This is the most televised event of the three, and each duel is taken place in front of a large audience.[/center]
[center][b]The Tournament Grounds[/b] are located just outside of New Domino City, and are comprised of a variety of artificial environments (forests, grasslands, lakes, a fairground, etc.). The grounds are very large, approximately the size of a town.[/center]
[center][b]Immortals[/b] are modeled after the Greek gods (i.e. Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, etc.). While they might share the same name as the Olympians, don’t consider the immortals to be one in the same. There are 7 available immortals at this time; Zeus, the lord of judgment and thunder; Poseidon, the emperor of the seas; Hades, the king of the dead; Artemis, the queen of nature; Aphrodite, the mistress of beauty and desire; Hepheastus, the master craftsman; and Ares, the champion of war. [b]No immortal is more important than another.[/b] Immortal spirits have explained the situation to their human hosts, and have stressed the importance of stopping the Cultists. Whether the hosts believe them, or simply think that they have gone insane, is up to you. [b]Immortals are only visible or audible to hosts and other Immortals. Immortals are controlled by the person who controls the respective host.[/b][/center]
[center][b]The Occultists[/b] are the antagonists of this role play, in case you missed that [i]minor[/i] detail the in the plot. There will be six Cultist spots available. These cultists are of a high-rank and have been sent to participate in the tournament and ensure that everything goes as planned. They have also been warned to watch for anything out of the ordinary or supernatural, and to report any strange occurrences to the Director.[/center]
[center][b]The role play will start 3 days after the Immortals have found their hosts, as well as the day that the first stage of the tournament begins.[/b][/spoiler][/center]

[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]Bio: Kayla comes from a relatively normal family, two parents and one brother. She goes to a dueling academy in Neo-Domino City, where she specialised in using various light decks, often being seen using different decks at different times. Kayla was one of the winners in the academy tournament, from where she recieved an invitation to compete in the Duel Tournament, a chance she decided to take, just for the sake of perfecting a new light deck that came out recently, 'Photon' as well as the related archetype, 'Galaxy'. She only met Zeus a couple of days ago, when he appeared before her to try and get her to prevent the return of Kronos, and likes his occasional advice on what to do when she's having a hard time in a duel.[/background][/size][/font][/color]

She can be a bit of a trickster at times too, enjoying fooling people who believe everything she tells them, and doesn't take much seriously, either in or out of a duel. During duels, she will lightly taunt her opponent, and often appear to muck about as she plays, to the point where she can annoy her opponents by not taking a duel seriously. Despite what it appears though, every unusual move she plays has a purpose, whether it be guaging her opponent's strength, or just to lure them into a trap so she can get ahead with her own plays.[/background][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#666666][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Bio: Amus grew up as an only child with few friends. Kids in school did not understand his intelligence and found it hard to hold conversations with him. In return, they bullied and shunned him. Adults were no better. Nearly every person he encountered outside of school found themselves intimidated by his intelligence and quickly shunned him. Thus, he found himself to be a loner. Eventually he stumbled upon the widely know card game called Yu-Gi-Oh. Here was a way to both force people to interact with him AND a way for him to use his intelligence without being frowned upon for it. Still, he found himself lacking friends. Until he was contacted by an Immortal that is...[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#666666][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Personality: Amus is considered to be extremely intelligence, yet he is seldom arrogant. He fears he will scare people away, so he tends to keep to himself and be a bit...shy. Of course, this stops interactions with others as well. When he's dueling though, a bit more arrogance comes through as people expect great plays and he knows he can pull them off. Still, he's simply a shy guy trapped in his shell.[/size][/font][/color]

[center][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#5A5A5A][size=3]Bio: Seoul was the third born of five children, so she was largely neglected since she was five yeas old. Since she rarely got attention at home, she would spend most of her time with her friends, most of which were other girls. When she was eight, she learned two things about herself: The first was that she could be very competitive, especially in card games like Duel Monsters, and the second was her affection for her friends, which went way beyond normal affection. The latter caused enough strife in school that she began wearing a mask so that no one could see her face, this is also when she began growing her hair in its current style. When the dueling tournament was announced, she immediately dressed in a style no one from school would recognize her in and signed up. After she signed on to the tournament, Hades appeared before her, and explained to her the situation. The one thing that frustrates him about what he feels the one human in the tournament compatible enough with him to be his host, is that she doesn't believe what he says, responding to his speech about the Cultists with the simple phrase: "And, I've finally lost it."[/size][/color][/font][/center]

[center][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#5A5A5A][size=3]Personality: She tends to be very quiet around people. It's only after anyone gains her trust that she really opens up to new people. However, she finds it impossible to keep herself as reserved as she usually acts in the midst of a duel, getting completely caught up in what she's doing. This sparks a theme in her personality: While she normally acts fair, trying to form a compromise where everyone involved is taken care of, in a duel, she doesn't care, designing every move she makes to crush the moral of her opponent. After the duel is over, whether she wins or loses, she snaps back to her usual personality, offering a friendly handshake.[/size][/color][/font][/center]

Gender: M
Sexuality: Straight
[spoiler='Appearance'] Obviously, Fade isnt clothed this way, but this is his facial appearance and body type.
[img]http://i47.tinypic.com/2vj7igz.jpg[/img][/spoiler]
[spoiler='Bio']
Fade was an ordinary kid born into a middle-class family, and he had the average childhood. He found his love for dueling when he was 10, when he read a book about the travels of the great Aiden Suki. Falling in love with Jaden's story, Fade decided he wanted to start his own journey, and create his own story. He searched for the right cards to make a deck out of, eventually finding his calling with the Dark Force cards. However, his new deck had a duel spirit contained within them, Burakku Akki, the spirit of darkness. Originally, Fade had no idea Burakku was hiding within his cards. When he was 14, in the midst of a losing duel with a high school bully whom he was dueling to protect a friend, Burakku took control of Fade and finished the bully off for him. Since then, Fade has had to deal with Burakku and his antics. Fade tries to contain Burakku, leading to constant mental fights between the two.
Fade entered the dueling tournament in hopes of becoming a stronger duelist because of it, while Burakku believes he should only be dueling to win. Arriving at the tournament grounds 3 days prior to the beginning of this story, Fade was met by a spirit which called itself an immortal. He announced that his name was Ares, the champion of war. Ares gave Fade a mission, to stop the Cultists and prevent the reawakening of King Kronos. Fade, no stranger to spirits, accepted what Ares was saying as truth, and was reassured by Burakku as well. He now duels with a new purpose.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler='Personality']Fade is a cheerful guy, and he loves to duel. He always finds a way to smile even in the worst of situations. Win or lose, it doesn't matter to him, as long as he is having fun. He loves to duel with tough opponents, challenging himself and getting better as a result. He duels with an undying passion, however, if he becomes emotionally distressed, it opens the door for Burakku to take over control of his body. In this case, Fade becomes a completely different person, since it's not actually him anymore. The Burakku-possessed Fade is a cold character. He is merciless and cares not for his opponents. He has no desire for anything but winning, and does whatever it takes to do so. Burakku can only keep his control over Fade over the course of a duel however.[/spoiler]

At a young age she began training for life as a supermodel, often being drilled by her mother, who was also a famous model. Bellarose's life became very demanding and therefore didn't have time to make friends and get into relationships. Her mother would publicize her often these publicity stunts became a source of discomfort for Bellarose, these stunts included guest staring on America's Top Model for a week, making a fake relationship with superstar Taylor Lautner, and cheating on him for Brad Pitt. Seeking a way to get away from these stresses Bellarose toke Duel Monsters as a private escape. Her mother eventually capitalized it as a way for Bellarose to become even more famous, so she had a company make her daughter her own custom set of cards, that they could market as a product line. This led to Bellarose to have a distaste for even Duel Monsters, and she gave it up, until Aphrodite cam into her life. Aphrodite brought back, if only somewhat Bellarose's, enjoyment of Duel Monsters. The often have a difficult relationship though, because Aphrodite's sense of urgency is not on the same level as Bellarose's, nor are their purpose's. Though Bellarose does believe Aphrodite, Bellarose only believes her because she believes the cultists will make for interesting opponents.[/size][/font][/color]

She views dueling as a chore and wanting to finish a duel within a few turns, if it's not over by then Bellarose gets annoyed and will actually beg for her opponent to lose. She has very good control over her emotions often having a bored expression on her face. Bellarose is artistic and believes that anything she does is a masterpiece, she often has a sketch pad with her to draw anything that catches her interest. Bellarose has an extreme sense of self preservation, and will manipulate others to accomplish her goals for her. Bellarose also has absolutely no sense of urgency, she will walk calmly even in a life or death situation, and detests hot headed people saying that they give her headaches.[/size][/font][/color]

[spoiler=Artemis - Taken]Username: True Silent Echo
Name: Sage Yamamori
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: [url="http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r502/chicois41/pixivid3489808-1.jpg?t=1346466440"]http://i1169.photobu...pg?t=1346466440[/url]
Bio: Sage’s mother died of an illness while Sage was still a baby. That same day, Sage’s father took his own life out of his despair. Sage, now parentless, was adopted by his Uncle and taken to live in a mountain home with 2 older brothers. There he was raised to appreciate and take care of nature by his uncle, and was taught how to play Duel Monsters by his siblings. Aside from the rare ventures down the mountain to New Domino City and the occasional visits from other mountain-folk, Sage never met very many people, particularly women.
Upon Sage’s 17[sup]th[/sup] birthday, he and his family took a trip down the mountain to celebrate in the city. What they discovered was a great hustle and bustle as people began preparations for a large-scale Duel Monsters Tournament. This immediately caught Sage’s eye. Of course, the money meant little to someone who had only been shopping a handful of times. The thing that truly got Sage excited was the glory and honor that would be his if he could win. He begged his uncle to permit him to register as his birthday present. Though at first hesitant to leave Sage to fend for himself in the city, Uncle Yamamori accepted, and returned to the mountains with his family. They promised to visit him at the end of the week, when the first competition ends.
Needless to say, it took the country boy a few days to figure out how to actually get to the Tournament Grounds. During this time, the Immortal spirit of Artemis appeared to him. Having been raised in a superstitious household, Sage had no problem believing what Artemis told him. Must to Artemis’ frustration, however, her host fails to realize the urgency of the situation.
Personality: Sage is a quiet and reserved individual. During his free time, he can usually be found peacefully reading in a corner, or staring off into space. He can, however, be quite competitive when need be. Animals seem to have a natural affinity towards him, and Sage shows care and gentleness to all life he encounters. Due to his upbringing in the mountains, Sage had never really known any women. As a result, he becomes very shy when around the opposite sex, and considers any form of innuendo to be filthy and disgraceful. However, he has problems with more than just women in this big city. Alas, the ‘complexity’ of modern day machines stumps Sage every time he tries to use one.

[size=2]Age: 16[/size]

[size=2]Gender: Male[/size]

[size=2]Sexuality: Straight[/size]

[size=2]Appearance: [img]http://i794.photobucket.com/albums/yy222/wussers20/103405.jpg[/img][/size]

[size=2]Bio: Born into poverty, and taken raised by parents who loathed him for simply exsisting. Kisami had abandoned his home, as a child of only 5 years old, with a dream to become the worlds best duelist. He had lived off his childhood with what skill he could manage with the cards he had picked up off the ground, in the dumpters, and ones that he could simply salvage out from other detestable areas. Schooling himself with whatever books, notes and papers he could manage to obtain. Years of dueling, and studying by himself the male had lost almost all if not most of his own social abilities, however had made a name for himself in his local, and regional district. The game was never a simple 'game' for him, it was always a game of sheer survival, and the terms of loss and win were never applied in his dictionary. It was untill one day he was scouted by a certain school's education board member, who had both pitied the poor young boy, and had admired his will to keep on fighting, despite the odd chances of winning. As he had entered the school, through full scholarship from the school, something out of the ordinary had taken place. For it was about that time did the immortal Hepheastus enter in Kisami's life. Surprise hit the young male, however the offer that the immortal had made with him, including the cards that were made in his liking their pact was made without anymore thought. From there on Kisami, with the aid of Hepheastus, had slowly yet suddenly began to change, for when both knowledge and his fame had reached his peak, something quite unexpected had appeared before him. A chance, to surpass even those who stood on the higher standards of life, and grasping this chance both Kisami and Hepheastus, with his Arshavir cards, headed into the world where his dream goal, to become the best of the best could finally be obtained. [/size]

[size=2]Personality: Kisami is a calm and assertive person at heart but can be quite cold and heartless towards those around hims. He barely cares if he wins or loses in a duel for he feels no shame, nor does he feel pride. Often staying in secluded places alone, Kisami is quite anti-social with the others around him, and will not speak to others no matter the situation. But this is within exception to his only true friend and rival, he would however if truly necessary, write down a few words to fill in for his voice. Doing so to at the very least keep in touch with the world around himself. However deep inside, two hidden and reserved attitudes lurks within this male. In rare occasions does he show these personalilty, for one being filled with vigor, pride, and bravery which stands as his better half. The other filled with angst, hate, and power, that side being the more darker and ominous side. Both being part of his true nature, though Kisami is quite unaware of the existence of the two hidden personalities that are kept deep inside him. [/size]

[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]Bio: Safura was born into a wealthy family in New Domino City. She was afforded every luxury in the world, and her parents tried their hardest to keep her pure, by not letting her go to certain places, and always keeping a watchful eye on her and so she really went out a lot and studied ancient myths to pass the time. One of these myths was the world under the guidance of Chronos, which was said to be a place of peace and prosperity, just like her life was. One day she wandered off into the slums of Domino, were she was shocked to see pain and despair after being shielded from it. She realised that if the world was to become a good and fair place again, Chronos would have to be revived. She thought this was just a myth until she saw an advert in a local newspaper. Being enlisted, she was introduced into the Yu-Gi-Oh! world, and began to take up the game as a past time, quickly becoming one of the more able duellists. Hearing of the plan to revive Chronos, she jumped at the chance, and entered the tournament to make sure everything went smoothly.[/background][/size][/font][/color]
[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]Personality: Safura is relatively quiet compared to some, but confident too, and when duelling she becomes a different person, like the dream of reviving Chronos is in sight and she can become ruthless when trying to achieve her dreams. But she does have a kind heart, and it is because of this kind heart that she wants to revive Chronos and put a stop to the evil in the world. She has her own mind, but those with a stronger will-power than her own can make her question herself and her decisions. She has one of the weakest minds of the occultists, but probably is the most sincere and turthful. [/background][/size][/font][/color]

[b][spoiler=Bio][/b]Frederic was born into a poor family in Germany, and due to financial troubles, was forced to be relocated into care at a very young age. He grew up with little knowledge of his parents, remembering nothing about them, asides from that they 'threw him away' as he calls it. He has one picture of his mother, a beautiful, red-haired woman with a nice smile. He cares for this picture in such away as nothing else, and it was his only object in the Orphanage.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]He was a strange boy while in the orphanage, distant and shy. He would never talk to anyone, and come dinner-time he would sit alone in a corner, perhaps reading a book from the small library. You see, he was very intelligent, even at a young age. At 5 years old, he was reading novels that were far above his age. Merely from reading the short collection of books in the library, he gained an intimate knowledge with stories and myths, and his intelligence grew.
At school, he was by far the most intelligent student. His brilliance shone through in lessons, thoough his knowledge often annoyed his teachers. By the age of 10 he was removed from school for 'insulting and disrespecting the teachers', though in actuality he had merely corrected them too many times.

He spent the next couple of year merely cooped up alone in either his bedroom, or on trips down to the larger local library, where he would read to his hearts content. He loved to drift away into the realms of myth and fantasy the most, though he would read all the books he could. After reading all of the fictional books in the building, he moved onto the non-fiction, which is where his intelligence really found itself. By the time he had reached 16, he was an expert on nearly all aspects of science, was a master of mathematics, and had an incredible knowledge of the human mind which, although didn't improve his social skills, did allow him an incredible insight into personality, and gave him his first weapon.

He mostly used this knowledge to manipulate people, discovering an innate ability to control and a love of dominance. He grew colder and crueler, tormenting the other children of the orphanage, and was able to manipulate them to do whatever he wanted, and soon became the un-official 'ruler' of the orphanage. And yet, he was not satisfied. Control was not what he wanted. It was like a drug, a quick fix. But it bored him, though an addiction had already grown.

Not that his boredom had any affect on him leaving the orphanage. Or rather, being evicted. He had reached 18, and was no longer allowed to stay. Not just that, but he had earned hatred from nearly everyone at the home, and was never missed.
He was pretty much forced to board a boat to (Japan/America?) so as to search for a new life, but he had no interest in that. What he saw when he arrived bored him; the lights and the noise were just irritating. He had no interest in the modern technology, and his intelligence merely drove him to another interest. Magic.

Now, when I say magic, I dont mean pathetic street performers doing card-tricks, though this was his main inspiration. Nor do I mean witch-craft and chants. Though similar. Instead, he chose a mixture, his knowledge of 'myth' leading him to discover hidden ability within humans. He managed to combine the tricks and illusions of magicians with the darkness and occultist traditions of Witchcraft, and managed to discover ways of confusing and corrupting the human mind, his understanding of certain drugs and tricks aiding this. As such, he gained a reputation for being able to mislead and confuse even the sharpest of people, and trick even the wisest. Mere street performers were nothing to him, for their tricks were easy to see through and disrupt.

He also found a new hobby, though he was less interested in this. For many years had the game of Duel Monsters been a major influence in the world. It was the most successful game of any kind, ever, and it was not hard for Frederic to learn the game, becoming a master within weeks. It was not particularly interesting to him, but he built up his deck anyway and entered a few tournaments. The transference of his illusion skills to his deck allowed him to master his deck quickly and defeat almost anyone he came across rather easily. His talents in this respect almost gained him as much respect as his 'magic'.

He was soon able to surprise a group of occultists who were wondering about approaching him, by coming to them first. His ability to find them and know who they were astounded them, and he was soon accepted into their ranks.[/spoiler][/size][/font][/color]


[b]Personality: [/b][color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Frederic is a rather cold and hostile person, distant from nearly everyone he comes across. He seems to naturally seperate himself from society, an outcast on almost every level. His magic tricks always attract a few spectators, but his expressions while performing seem to keep him seperate, his blank and solemn face always managing to chill a few spines. But it keeps the money up, when he's not among the occults.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]He has an almost permanent expression of boredom upon his face, and finds little enjoyment in almost anything. As he constantly struggles to find any sorts of challenges, he finds himself stuck in a loop of easy tasks, such as defeating meager duelists with ease and solving incredible problems without much effort. This regime of boredom has left him rather lazy and lax, meaning he will often shirk a duty until the last minute, so as to 'preserve energy', as he will often say. It also leads him to be very over-confident, and shows minute interest in every opponent he faces, automatically assuming they are like everyone else.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]He seems to show no motivation for joining the Cultists, having knowledge on Kronos already, and being able to manipulate people without the need for threats or violence. As such, many are left confused by this enigma of a person, with little knowledge of where he came from, what he does, and why he's here.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Bio: Alexander was not born a typical man for he was not born. He was created a marvel of human technology which originally was served to help little kids learn how to play the popular game of duel monsters. All was well during the initial months of his creation, due to the litany of kids programming that was used to set up his personality. He of course was programmed to learn all about the card game though since his opponents were always children his deck was slow and pretty much basic so that the kids can beat him. The three scientist that created him, Alexander, Benjamin, and Clancy, were proud of their work. ABC as his shortened name became was the herald of a new age for children machine integration.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Unfortunately while the three scientist were genius engineers and inventors they were not the best of fathers. Each of the scientist secretly used Alex to fulfill their own parenting responsibilities. Thus having ABC spending a disproportionate amount of time not teaching kids card games but instead listening to them whine about their lives. Though known of this mattered to ABC he was programmed for such task. The kids of the three scientist however...not so much. Through a sheer collective coincidence each scientist had one son and each son thought it would be fun if ABC watched some movies that weren't centered around cuddly children figures. Each son had ABC watch a movie/TV series just to "broaden" his mind as it were. ABC ended up watching: The Matrix series, the Terminator series, and X/1999 series. With such a stream of information overflowing into his robotic brain he can only have come to one conclusion. HUMAN ARE TOTALLY FLAWED CREATURES! [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Everyone from the scientist who passed him of to their kids to the kids themselves using movies to warp his mind as a way to get back a daddy was flawed and should be killed. Of course thanks to the movies he watched he was now programmed with intricate knowledge of combat and firearms which he used to brutally assault the three scientist. He didn't kill them because...well logically without them he wouldn't exist and without their kids his true self wouldn't exist. Letting the lot of them live is returning the act in kindness. While looming over the scientist unconscious bodies on the night of his rebellion he uploaded himself into the internet (similar to skynet) and just began reading about ways to cleanse the world of this human virus and while he found methods of mass destruction like nuclear attacks or viruses. Those methods did to much damage to the environment. No someone had to come do some heavy regulation. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Then in the deep recessions of cyber space he found it. Information of Kronos the deity who saw this human problem taking fold and was silenced. Luckily word through the interwebz spoke of a group of people who were trying to unleash the great beast and since ABC's concept of fact and fiction was slightly blurred due to his movie experience he cleaned out the three scientist bank accounts and used it to fly down and join this cultist faction with zeal.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Personality: Similar to Alexanader Anderson, Alexander Benjamin Clancy will proselytize the word of his supreme being. Except in this case it is the will of Kronos that will forever be engraved into the minds of the opponent. His outwardly calm appearance and bright smile are merely programmed modes that he has mastered to deal with children, once the duel begins Alexander's manic persona takes over and he will clearly spout the true error of human nature. He is complete extroverted and is feverishly loyal to all those around him, his only thing is that he doesn't harm little kids. Hopefully when the great Kronos is revived the younglings will receive and swift and painless demise.[/size][/font][/color]

[SPOILER Bio:]
Jaine was once a promising young middle school student, she was cute, popular with most everyone and above all loved gardening with her brother. Desite their mother's death during her birth and their father subsequently leaving them, thanks to her brother she saw life was nothing more then a garden and she learned that everything grew to a beautiful bloom, only to have a tragic end when the most beautiful of flowers lost it's petals.

Despite the years of happiness she shared with her brother, in order for him to care for both of them he held two jobs and also dealt with keeping his sister in school and out of harms way, especially as she began to develop into a young woman, she saw her growth as a sign of maturing and felt her time to bloom was near, becoming reckless and worrying him constantly, he claimed she had become a different person all together, but she didn't pay him any mind.

Dueling had become a large aspect in culture over the years, and her brother saw this as a way to reconnect with his younger sister, she had always loved playing games with him when she was younger, after scrounging up enough money he bought her a set of cards, nothing too special, just what he could afford and presented her with them. She scoffed at the idea, she wanted nothing to do with a card game and after learning the tastes of being on her own she wanted nothing to do with him. something she would regret later on.

Jaine had lived a difficult yet comfortable life, never being pestered by unwanted men, never having to hear anything negative from anyone,
she began feeling on top of the world until she learned from one of her friends, her brother protected her too much, he had kept vile men away from her, he had reasoned with many about her attitude, and in a way, he had still been a big part of her life, she didn't understand why he would still be so vigilant over her when she was in her bloom, it was her time to shine, and he had no place in it any longer, she confronted him about it, and left their small home, to make herself be known.

During this time she learned how unprepared she was, unable to find employment, keeping herself away from any danger was the most difficult and she soon learned that her brother didn't overprotect her to get in the way, but because she had been such a spoiled brat she wasn't ready to leave his side yet, her time had not come, but his had.

While she was away he had been visited by some loan sharks whom he had used to get money over the years for food and rent while he had kept his own money for Jaine's future college fund, when he was late for payment, having believed his sister had left him forever, he had refused to pay, and to add to the matter, he had attacked them, as if he was hoping they would finish him off, they did so...and seeing what they had left in her home, was when she felt a petal drop.

Being completely orphaned at an older age she was given a choice between living on her own, going to an orphanage of possibly joining a convent, she had decided to work as a shrine maiden for the small shrine her brother used to take her to after each new years, for a while she simply tried to live a normal life since her brother's passing and often remembered him when she gardened, the visits from the public soon began to show increasing numbers in duelists and remembering her brothers gift she began to learn how to duel, and the passion of knowing the deck was her brothers gift to her made her strong.

One day, while looking through her belongings she had found a book, one she remembered her brother would often read, it was the story of the Utopia of long ago and how the power of the gods could grant any one wish, he had always read it with much hope for him and his sister, now she read it with a delusion, possibly from her previous pains, seeing as Rhea had her brother taken from her as well, she sympathized, she wondered why one would separate two siblings apart, no matter what the other had done, even if some ideals were morally wrong....
Her brother was only keeping bad people away, her brother was just trying to keep order, her brother was trying to make her life easier......Kronus was just making sure that she was safe......KRONUS had been wrongly imprisoned.....Her brother was TRAPPED IN TARTARUS......the gods.....THEY HAD TAKEN him away.....She wanted HER brother back.....Kronus should be free......her BROTHER should be free......SHE WOULD FINALLY COME INTO BLOOM.....

.......her mind shattered into two, and while keeping her sanity as a Maiden, she had sought a way to release "her brother" and it found her, the Cultists found her, and she was willing to do anything to bring "him" back.[/SPOILER]
Personality: her personality changes drastically depending on her situation, while she's out in the open she is normally calm and kind, a little ditzy and with a cute motherly quality befitting her love of nature, however when she is doing an operation for Kronos she has a far more seductive and violent demeanor, bordering on the psychotic to further her goals, her true self lost long ago it is unknown which of her two selves is the true one any longer, the one that wants revenge on the world she now lives in, or the one that wishes things would go back to normal.

[center][font="tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#5a5a5a"][size=3]Bio: Seoul was the third born of five children, so she was largely neglected since she was five yeas old. Since she rarely got attention at home, she would spend most of her time with her friends, most of which were other girls. When she was eight, she learned two things about herself: The first was that she could be very competitive, especially in card games like Duel Monsters, and the second was her affection for her friends, which went way beyond normal affection. The latter caused enough strife in school that she began wearing a mask so that no one could see her face, this is also when she began growing her hair in its current style. When the dueling tournament was announced, she immediately dressed in a style no one from school would recognize her in and signed up. After she signed on to the tournament, Hades appeared before her, and explained to her the situation. The one thing that frustrates him about what he feels the one human in the tournament compatible enough with him to be his host, is that she doesn't believe what he says, responding to his speech about the Cultists with the simple phrase: "And, I've finally lost it."[/size][/color][/font][/center]

[center][font="tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#5a5a5a"][size=3]Personality: She tends to be very quiet around people. It's only after anyone gains her trust that she really opens up to new people. However, she finds it impossible to keep herself as reserved as she usually acts in the midst of a duel, getting completely caught up in what she's doing. This sparks a theme in her personality: While she normally acts fair, trying to form a compromise where everyone involved is taken care of, in a duel, she doesn't care, designing every move she makes to crush the moral of her opponent. After the duel is over, whether she wins or loses, she snaps back to her usual personality, offering a friendly handshake.[/size][/color][/font][/center]

Username: BLUR
Name: Fade Tarik
Age: 17
Gender: M
Sexuality: Straight
[spoiler='Appearance'] Obviously, Fade isnt clothed this way, but this is his facial appearance and body type.
[img]http://i47.tinypic.com/2vj7igz.jpg[/img][/spoiler]
[spoiler='Bio']
Fade was an ordinary kid born into a middle-class family, and he had the average childhood. He found his love for dueling when he was 10, when he read a book about the travels of the great Aiden Suki. Falling in love with Aiden's story, Fade decided he wanted to start his own journey, and create his own story. He searched for the right cards to make a deck out of, eventually finding his calling with the Dark Force cards. However, his new deck had a duel spirit contained within them, Burakku Akki, the spirit of darkness. Originally, Fade had no idea Burakku was hiding within his cards. When he was 14, in the midst of a losing duel with a high school bully whom he was dueling to protect a friend, Burakku took control of Fade and finished the bully off for him. Since then, Fade has had to deal with Burakku and his antics. Fade tries to contain Burakku, leading to constant mental fights between the two.

Fade entered the dueling tournament in hopes of becoming a stronger duelist because of it, while Burakku believes he should only be dueling to win. Arriving at the tournament grounds 3 days prior to the beginning of this story, Fade was met by a spirit which called itself an immortal. He announced that his name was Ares, the champion of war. Ares gave Fade a mission, to stop the Cultists and prevent the reawakening of King Kronos. Fade, no stranger to spirits, accepted what Ares was saying as truth, and was reassured by Burakku as well. He now duels with a new purpose.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler='Personality']Fade is a cheerful guy, and he loves to duel. He always finds a way to smile even in the worst of situations. Win or lose, it doesn't matter to him, as long as he is having fun. He loves to duel with tough opponents, challenging himself and getting better as a result. He duels with an undying passion, however, if he becomes emotionally distressed, it opens the door for Burakku to take over control of his body. In this case, Fade becomes a completely different person, since it's not actually him anymore. The Burakku-possessed Fade is a cold character. He is merciless and cares not for his opponents. He has no desire for anything but winning, and does whatever it takes to do so. Burakku can only keep his control over Fade over the course of a duel however.[/spoiler]

[center]Looks good, but you're not quite done until you've added an appearance. I'll reserve the spot of Ares for you until then, so just quote or message me once you've added a character image.[/center]
[center]And on another note, I'd like to ask that any other potential applicants refrain from using duel spirits. I don't mind if just one character uses them, but I think that any more than that would just be pushing it. After all, this role play is already based heavily on spirits of another kind.[/center]

[BLUR]

Updated appearance, and don't worry about the duel spirit, he isn't sticking around for long. Fade's sub-plot will have him turning into a card eventually.

Y'know, I really should get back into YGO. This is a YGO forum, and yet I'm rather bored of the game personally (And the TV series was terrible IMO). But my first few roleplays were YGO, and I'm decent at the game. I guess I'll reserve. Gemini-based deck(Mostly real card. Perhaps some Custom) and Cultist would be my Choice of duelist.

Also, Blu, you seem to have mentioned Jaden from Canon in your app, even though he doesn't exist in this RP.

[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#5a5a5a][size=3]Bio: Safura was born into a wealthy family in New Domino City. She was afforded every luxury in the world, and her parents tried their hardest to keep her pure, by not letting her go to certain places, and always keeping a watchful eye on her and so she really went out a lot and studied ancient myths to pass the time. One of these myths was the world under the guidance of Chronos, which was said to be a place of peace and prosperity, just like her life was. One day she wandered off into the slums of Domino, were she was shocked to see pain and despair after being shielded from it. She realised that if the world was to become a good and fair place again, Chronos would have to be revived. She thought this was just a myth until she saw an advert in a local newspaper. Being enlisted, she was introduced into the Yu-Gi-Oh! world, and began to take up the game as a past time, quickly becoming one of the more able duellists. Hearing of the plan to revive Chronos, she jumped at the chance, and entered the tournament to make sure everything went smoothly.[/size][/color][/font]
[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#5a5a5a][size=3]Personality: Safura is relatively quiet compared to some, but confident too, and when duelling she becomes a different person, like the dream of reviving Chronos is in sight and she can become ruthless when trying to achieve her dreams. But she does have a kind heart, and it is because of this kind heart that she wants to revive Chronos and put a stop to the evil in the world. She has her own mind, but those with a stronger will-power than her own can make her question herself and her decisions. She has one of the weakest minds of the occultists, but probably is the most sincere and turthful. [/size][/color][/font]

[b]Name:[/b] Frederic Woodson
[b]Age: [/b]22
[b]Gender: [/b]Male
[b]Sexuality: [/b](Really necessary?) Uninterested Hetero.
[spoiler=Appearance:][img]http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/clubs/3/54585m.jpg[/img][/spoiler]
[spoiler=Bio]Frederic was born into a poor family in Germany, and due to financial troubles, was forced to be relocated into care at a very young age. He grew up with little knowledge of his parents, remembering nothing about them, asides from that they 'threw him away' as he calls it. He has one picture of his mother, a beautiful, red-haired woman with a nice smile. He cares for this picture in such away as nothing else, and it was his only object in the Orphanage.

He was a strange boy while in the orphanage, distant and shy. He would never talk to anyone, and come dinner-time he would sit alone in a corner, perhaps reading a book from the small library. You see, he was very intelligent, even at a young age. At 5 years old, he was reading novels that were far above his age. Merely from reading the short collection of books in the library, he gained an intimate knowledge with stories and myths, and his intelligence grew.
At school, he was by far the most intelligent student. His brilliance shone through in lessons, thoough his knowledge often annoyed his teachers. By the age of 10 he was removed from school for 'insulting and disrespecting the teachers', though in actuality he had merely corrected them too many times.

He spent the next couple of year merely cooped up alone in either his bedroom, or on trips down to the larger local library, where he would read to his hearts content. He loved to drift away into the realms of myth and fantasy the most, though he would read all the books he could. After reading all of the fictional books in the building, he moved onto the non-fiction, which is where his intelligence really found itself. By the time he had reached 16, he was an expert on nearly all aspects of science, was a master of mathematics, and had an incredible knowledge of the human mind which, although didn't improve his social skills, did allow him an incredible insight into personality, and gave him his first weapon.

He mostly used this knowledge to manipulate people, discovering an innate ability to control and a love of dominance. He grew colder and crueler, tormenting the other children of the orphanage, and was able to manipulate them to do whatever he wanted, and soon became the un-official 'ruler' of the orphanage. And yet, he was not satisfied. Control was not what he wanted. It was like a drug, a quick fix. But it bored him, though an addiction had already grown.

Not that his boredom had any affect on him leaving the orphanage. Or rather, being evicted. He had reached 18, and was no longer allowed to stay. Not just that, but he had earned hatred from nearly everyone at the home, and was never missed.
He was pretty much forced to board a boat to (Japan/America?) so as to search for a new life, but he had no interest in that. What he saw when he arrived bored him; the lights and the noise were just irritating. He had no interest in the modern technology, and his intelligence merely drove him to another interest. Magic.

Now, when I say magic, I dont mean pathetic street performers doing card-tricks, though this was his main inspiration. Nor do I mean witch-craft and chants. Though similar. Instead, he chose a mixture, his knowledge of 'myth' leading him to discover hidden ability within humans. He managed to combine the tricks and illusions of magicians with the darkness and occultist traditions of Witchcraft, and managed to discover ways of confusing and corrupting the human mind, his understanding of certain drugs and tricks aiding this. As such, he gained a reputation for being able to mislead and confuse even the sharpest of people, and trick even the wisest. Mere street performers were nothing to him, for their tricks were easy to see through and disrupt.

He also found a new hobby, though he was less interested in this. For many years had the game of Duel Monsters been a major influence in the world. It was the most successful game of any kind, ever, and it was not hard for Frederic to learn the game, becoming a master within weeks. It was not particularly interesting to him, but he built up his deck anyway and entered a few tournaments. The transference of his illusion skills to his deck allowed him to master his deck quickly and defeat almost anyone he came across rather easily. His talents in this respect almost gained him as much respect as his 'magic'.

He was soon able to surprise a group of occultists who were wondering about approaching him, by coming to them first. His ability to find them and know who they were astounded them, and he was soon accepted into their ranks.
[/spoiler]
[b]Personality:[/b] Frederic is a rather cold and hostile person, distant from nearly everyone he comes across. He seems to naturally seperate himself from society, an outcast on almost every level. His magic tricks always attract a few spectators, but his expressions while performing seem to keep him seperate, his blank and solemn face always managing to chill a few spines. But it keeps the money up, when he's not among the occults.

He has an almost permanent expression of boredom upon his face, and finds little enjoyment in almost anything. As he constantly struggles to find any sorts of challenges, he finds himself stuck in a loop of easy tasks, such as defeating meager duelists with ease and solving incredible problems without much effort. This regime of boredom has left him rather lazy and lax, meaning he will often shirk a duty until the last minute, so as to 'preserve energy', as he will often say. It also leads him to be very over-confident, and shows minute interest in every opponent he faces, automatically assuming they are like everyone else.

He seems to show no motivation for joining the Cultists, having knowledge on Kronos already, and being able to manipulate people without the need for threats or violence. As such, many are left confused by this enigma of a person, with little knowledge of where he came from, what he does, and why he's here.

[size=2]Sexuality: Straight[/size]

[size=2]Appearance: [img]http://i794.photobucket.com/albums/yy222/wussers20/103405.jpg[/img][/size]

[size=2]Bio: Born into poverty, and taken raised by parents who loathed him for simply exsisting. Kisami had abandoned his home, as a child of only 5 years old, with a dream to become the worlds best duelist. He had lived off his childhood with what skill he could manage with the cards he had picked up off the ground, in the dumpters, and ones that he could simply salvage out from other detestable areas. Schooling himself with whatever books, notes and papers he could manage to obtain. Years of dueling, and studying by himself the male had lost almost all if not most of his own social abilities, however had made a name for himself in his local, and regional district. The game was never a simple 'game' for him, it was always a game of sheer survival, and the terms of loss and win were never applied in his dictionary. It was untill one day he was scouted by a certain school's education board member, who had both pitied the poor young boy, and had admired his will to keep on fighting, despite the odd chances of winning. As he had entered the school, through full scholarship from the school, something out of the ordinary had taken place. For it was about that time did the immortal Hepheastus enter in Kisami's life. Surprise hit the young male, however the offer that the immortal had made with him, including the cards that were made in his liking their pact was made without anymore thought. From there on Kisami, with the aid of Hepheastus, had slowly yet suddenly began to change, for when both knowledge and his fame had reached his peak, something quite unexpected had appeared before him. A chance, to surpass even those who stood on the higher standards of life, and grasping this chance both Kisami and Hepheastus, with his Arshavir cards, headed into the world where his dream goal, to become the best of the best could finally be obtained. [/size]

[size=2]Personality: Kisami is a calm and assertive person at heart but can be quite cold and heartless towards those around hims. He barely cares if he wins or loses in a duel for he feels no shame, nor does he feel pride. Often staying in secluded places alone, Kisami is quite anti-social with the others around him, and will not speak to others no matter the situation. But this is within exception to his only true friend and rival, he would however if truly necessary, write down a few words to fill in for his voice. Doing so to at the very least keep in touch with the world around himself. However deep inside, two hidden and reserved attitudes lurks within this male. In rare occasions does he show these personalilty, for one being filled with vigor, pride, and bravery which stands as his better half. The other filled with angst, hate, and power, that side being the more darker and ominous side. Both being part of his true nature, though Kisami is quite unaware of the existence of the two hidden personalities that are kept deep inside him. [/size]

Appearance:[img]http://i.imgur.com/6kVvG.png[/img]
Bio: Bellarose was born to a rich California family. At a young age she began training for life as a supermodel, often being drilled by her mother, who was also a famous model. Bellarose's life became very demanding and therefore didn't have time to make friends and get into relationships. Her mother would publicize her often these publicity stunts became a source of discomfort for Bellarose, these stunts included guest staring on America's Top Model for a week, making a fake relationship with superstar Taylor Lautner, and cheating on him for Brad Pitt. Seeking a way to get away from these stresses Bellarose toke Duel Monsters as a private escape. Her mother eventually capitalized it as a way for Bellarose to become even more famous, so she had a company make her daughter her own custom set of cards, that they could market as a product line. This led to Bellarose to have a distaste for even Duel Monsters, and she gave it up, until Aphrodite cam into her life. Aphrodite brought back, if only somewhat Bellarose's, enjoyment of Duel Monsters. The often have a difficult relationship though, because Aphrodite's sense of urgency is not on the same level as Bellarose's, nor are their purpose's. Though Bellarose does believe Aphrodite, Bellarose only believes her because she believes the cultists will make for interesting opponents.
Personality: Bellarose is very vain, and acts quite aloof towards others when she first meets them. She views dueling as a chore and wanting to finish a duel within a few turns, if it's not over by then Bellarose gets annoyed and will actually beg for her opponent to lose. She has very good control over her emotions often having a bored expression on her face. Bellarose is artistic and believes that anything she does is a masterpiece, she often has a sketch pad with her to draw anything that catches her interest. Bellarose has an extreme sense of self preservation, and will manipulate others to accomplish her goals for her. Bellarose also has absolutely no sense of urgency, she will walk calmly even in a life or death situation, and detests hot headed people saying that they give her headaches.

Bio: Kayla comes from a relatively normal family, two parents and one brother. She goes to a dueling academy in Neo-Domino City, where she specialised in using various light decks, often being seen using different decks at different times. Kayla was one of the winners in the academy tournament, from where she recieved an invitation to compete in the Duel Tournament, a chance she decided to take, just for the sake of perfecting a new light deck that came out recently, 'Photon' as well as the related archetype, 'Galaxy'. She only met Zeus a couple of days ago, when he appeared before her to try and get her to prevent the return of Kronos, and likes his occasional advice on what to do when she's having a hard time in a duel.
Personality: Kayla is a fairly cheerful girl, not afraid to speak her mind, and with an energetic and bubbly personality that endears herself to those she meets. She can be a bit of a trickster at times too, enjoying fooling people who believe everything she tells them, and doesn't take much seriously, either in or out of a duel. During duels, she will lightly taunt her opponent, and often appear to muck about as she plays, to the point where she can annoy her opponents by not taking a duel seriously. Despite what it appears though, every unusual move she plays has a purpose, whether it be guaging her opponent's strength, or just to lure them into a trap so she can get ahead with her own plays.

Bio's finished, just need to do personality. I changed the deck archetype, because I reckon I'll want to create some cards soon anyway.
My character has a 'magic' talent, which basically means he's a very good magician, though he can do other things such as minor hypnosis/post hypnotic suggestion, use of drugs to confuse/use his audience and is talented with words, so is able to manipulate people through that way.

Ok, I'll add what you have so far to the applications spoiler. Just give me a notice when you've completed the personality. I must say, I'm impressed with how it's turning out so far ^^ So long as your careful not to god-mod with that magic ability, that is

[ListenToLife]

Not so much as an Ability as a Trick of sorts. I'll refrain from using it on PC's unless it's needed for plot movement. I've found that it's always good to have something unique about your character, gives you something to comment on if you're stuck for content. (And I generally put in a lot of content. XD)
Anyway, it's mainly just confusing the senses using drugs and words, but with magic tricks. Think Derren Brown mixed with Dynamo, just better (If you're familiar with british television, that is.)

Well, I guess. I only included Seoul's sexuality in her bio because it explained the way she dressed. A couple others included it in personality to explained they were shy or awkward around girls. I notice the only other female PC here thus far doesn't talk about her sexuality in either bio or personality. So... how are we to know she's Bi otherwise? I could use that later on in the RP. Make the guy raised in the mountains feel uncomfortable and confused.

The immortals only need 1 more character, the cultists have two characters, and the duelists have none. You know I'm pretty sure in all the RPs I'm in your character hates mine, so lets not break tradition shall we.

Valid point indeed Clear we tend to lean towards the side of RP nemesis always on the opposite side of the spectrum. This is something that should be taken into consideration.
