[spoiler="Personality"]A very vibrant personality that has a natural charisma, but whips out at people if they step out of line. An enigmatic person.[/spoiler]
[spoiler="Bio"][/spoiler]

[b][u]Combat Info[/u][/b]
Warrior Type: Swordsman
[spoiler="Primary Weapon(s)"]http://www.northstarzone.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/Yamato.jpg[/spoiler]
[spoiler="Secondary Weapon(s) & Equipment"]Bag of 200 Kane - a relatively decent amount of money
Whip - a slightly enchanted whip that can extend out and transform slightly into different shapes for Hakyu's use[/spoiler]
[spoiler="Ability(s)"][b][u]Superhuman dexterity[/u][/b]
Hakyu has faster reflexes, can do a variety of dodges and flips, and jumps and such that would normally be impossible. This helps Hakyu get into "perfect positions" during a fight.

[b][u]Enhanced Mind[/u][/b]
Hakyu has a very high intelligence, and combined with his dexterity, he is a very skilled foe, being able to near-instantly think and react to situations.[/spoiler]
[spoiler="Special Technique(s)"][b][u]Godspeed[/u][/b]
Imbues Hakyu's weapons with Nature Energy temporarily, so the weapon can slice through the air blindingly fast it leaves "background images". Can only use this around 8 times a week, and for short periods of time around 7 minutes at a time.

[b][u]Dual Gear[/u][/b]
Can temporarily split his blade into two swords he can wield blindingly fast, and the strike after he fuses the blades together again will be in essence, a shockwave. However, this is very difficult to use for the sonic boom effect, so for now, he uses it as a simple dual wielder. The duration of the Dual Gear is around 10 minutes.[/spoiler]
[spoiler="Magic"][b][u]Untouchable[/u][/b]
Makes the user and the sword intangible, but still able to damage the opponent. This exhausts Hakyu however, and he can only keep it up for around 10 seconds. He only uses it about once per every couple of months, on average.[/spoiler]

[b][u]Other Info[/u][/b]
• Hakyu's favorite food is mapo tofu.
• Hakyu can be mischievous frequently.
• No matter how fast he moved in the past, if he got caught in trouble, his mother could spank him 50 times in before he could say "Kuso!"
• Has a sharp, elegant script
• Likes to read novels

I think I get the gist of what your saying. Anyway, is my app okay? Anything I need to change?

[Thar]

Alright, here's my app. If anything needs fixing, just tell me.

[b]Username:[/b] Loki Rancid 29892033
[b]Name:[/b] Yama Chiasa
[b]Age:[/b] 23
[b]Gender:[/b] Female
[b]Date of Birth:[/b] January 14
[b]Blood Type:[/b] A+
[b]Hobby(s):[/b] Bombcrafting, woodcrafting... basically anything crafting.[spoiler=Appearance]As shown in the thumbnail: Defaulting in an overall color scheme of various shades of green, green hair hanging down just shy of her shoulders, brown eyes (not red, that would be frightening to the party), and an upside-down egg-shaped head. Prefers her dark-green vest than any other kind of torso, wears a conforming scarf cut and sewn by her mother, and generic fabric pants cut just above the thickest part of her lower legs. To prevent blisters from conjuring due to her hands-on pass-times, she wears sleeves made of animal hide from her hunts and dyed green to match her color scheme.[/spoiler][spoiler=Personality]As judged by her love of all things destructive, Dawn is controversial in her innocent yet ruthless attitude. She takes delight in fire, which symbolizes her bright and heated impression on others; she laughs at events such as crumbling buildings, making for a quickly adaptive lifestyle and forgetfulness of the past unless it needs referral; and while its bluntly obvious, her passion for just blowing things up in general implicates a rebellious and mischievous individual. On a similar note, she instantly changes moods while in the presence of water, flying creatures, and moonlight, taking on a calmer, more subtle personality that resists the urge to burn or blow things up no matter what the situation.[/spoiler][spoiler=Bio]Dawn was born with only her mother to care for. While her dad was off fighting in the war, her mother suffered a major burn on her arm and as consequence was paralyzed in every muscle connected to that limb within a foot of her elbow. Because of this crippling incident, her mother could not fully care for her and she spend nearly all of her time at the nurse, leaving Dawn to tend to herself. Occasionally Dawn would visit her mother, but a bomb explosion near the medical center changed that when she died of shock. Miraculously recovered Dawn later saw no reason to stay and fled to the nearest town, where she took up craftsmanship and crashed in her self-built shack. It was when another explosion occurred when she started experimenting with explosive materials and tactical defenses to fend off future attackers, but was suspended from the town from her hazardous hobby. Finding delight in moving often, she began exploring unfamiliar grounds and expanding her boundaries, making the whole world her playground.[/spoiler]

[.:Blu:.]

Dusk, make sure your personality is longer as well to fit the requirements

Aix, from what I've read, everything seems good

EDIT: Got ninja'd. Let's see what you have here Loki.

[Astolfo]

Thanks Blu. I'll work on it more.

[.:Blu:.]

Loki, from what I've read, you will need to fix several things. First, her name needs to be Japanese. If you need help with names, I suggest checking these two sites out:

Given Name (First Name): [url=http://www.20000-names.com/female_japanese_names.htm]http://www.20000-names.com/female_japanese_names.htm[/url]

Surname (Family Name): [url=http://www.wa-pedia.com/language/japanese_surnames.shtml]http://www.wa-pedia.com/language/japanese_surnames.shtml[/url]

Next, your appearance and personality needs to be at least 3 lines each and I would prefer you have appearance, personality, and bio in spoilers. Finally, you should only have one warrior type. Ranger should be sufficient enough because it can cover the two other types as well.

Fixed. [s]I couldn't find any native characters for my given name, though, so I left it blank.[/s]

EDIT: Guess you don't need native characters.

[.:Blu:.]

That's fine, everything is good now.

[Enrise]

Hey Blu, I've finished the larger majority of my character, all I need is Personality and Bio. Before I get to those, can I get a quick opinion on what I have so far?

[.:Blu:.]

Everything looks good to me. Make sure to delete it from your app if you're not using the "Other Info" section.

[Enrise]

[quote name='.:Blu:.' timestamp='1355458444' post='6092666']

[/quote]

I plan on using it.

I just want to make sure that he's within character boundaries. Y'know. Only Dual-wielding character, no OP'd abilities, etc.

[.:Blu:.]

Don't worry, everything checks out. I can't wait to see what you have in store for the personality and bio. He seems to be the serious type from his appearance but that's just my guess.

[Yosuke-kun]

So, how much bio would be necessary for a guy who lost his memory?

[.:Blu:.]

Your character has lost his memory? I'm sorry, but I can't accept another character who has memory problems.

[Asriel Dreemurr]

As always Blu your RP looks fantastic. I'll have an app up as soon as possible.

[.:Blu:.]

Thanks Keto, I'm looking forward to see what you have in store :]

[Yosuke-kun]

Alright. I'll change that then.

[b][u]Personal Info[/u][/b]
Username:920321894
Name:[b] Chisana, Mori[/b]
Age: 20
Gender: female
Date of Birth: April 18th
Blood Type: AB
Hobby(s): Plants, sleeping in trees, Shogi
[spoiler=Appearance:] Around average height of 5'4, and weighing in at 137 lbs. The only thing unique about her would her her unnatural green hair and eyes. Her hair isn't very long, only stopping to just below her shoulders, but she doesn't like it in heR face so it's always pulled up some kind of way. Seeing as she didn't come from money, her outfit is rather plain. Consisting of black trousers, worn and tattered brown boots, and a green shirt that's tucked neatly into her trousers. Her sword is hooked on her right hip, with her money pouch on her left. The only accessory she wears is the pendent given to her when she was 10. [/spoiler]

[spoiler=Personality:] If there was one word to describe Mori it would be "eccentric". Despite being 20 years old she has a very naive way of seeing the world. Having been in her small town for all her life she isn't really well versed on how the world works, and how ruthless it can really be. Due to never being out of her town, she doesn't know much about anything and as such she is curious. Always having a question, and doesn't see anything wrong with voicing her thoughts. That in it self probably causes half of the trouble she finds herself in. Very friendly and helpful, probably too much so as she is almost always taken advantage of and as a result never has money. Either from her getting pick pocketed, giving it away or by getting some crappy deal on an item. Perhaps it's something to due with her strange birth, but she has the tendency to talk to trees more that she does people. That alone gets her strange looks. Mori is quick to judge, usually being wrong and then scrambling to making things right. Surprisingly stubborn when she wants to be, but easy to get along with. Another oddity is that she is oblivious to the opposite sex. She could be walking right into the trap of an dubious intent man and wouldn't suspect a thing. Mori doesn't see anything wrong with bathing with the opposite sex, so sharing the same bed is also fine with her. All in all, Mori is definitely not your average Feudal Era girl.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Bio:] What is there to say about Mori? That she had a terrible life? That she was born in poverty and had to fight every single day of her life [i]just [/i]to survive until the next day? That by the time she was 6 she had already committed murder in order to protect herself? Well, that would make for a very good story wouldn't it.While Mori's story isn't as thrill filled and adventurous as above it is an interesting story none the less. To put it simply everything about this girl is, well, strange. Even Mori's birth is strange as in no one was around to witness it.

The town that Mori was eventually raised in is extremely small, located in Kogane nation. A place where everyone knew everyone, and it was hard to keep a secret in that town. A relatively peaceful town that was graced with travelers from time to time. Surrounded by lush forests and supple land where beautiful and delicious harvest grew. It was in this town that an old couple lived with their grandson whom they had raised from birth. The grandson's, Kiron Chisana, parents had died when he was very young so he doesn't remember them. This young man had dreams and aspirations of becoming the greatest swordsman in the entire world. He wanted to help the land become the peaceful place it once was back in Yodai's time. Eventually this young boy grew into a man and set off for his travels at 16 years old sword in hand. Years later he would return home, now 23, and with much more worldly knowledge than he left with. He couldn't believe how much he had learned from his travels and was eager to resume them. His grandparents were thrilled to have him back and planned to make a large feast for him, however they needed a few more ingredients from the harvest grounds. Being the ever thoughtful grandchild was, he offered to gather the supplies. Figuring he would get there fast by cutting through the forest he did so, but half way there he felt an eerie feeling in the deep forest. It wasn't anything bad, but it just felt strange.

Following this feeling he came upon a surreal sight. Laying underneath an old, and large tree was a baby laying bare on the ground with nothing to clothe it. The child had dark hair resting atop it's head, and it's eyes were closed. Upon closer inspection the child wasn't even breathing. That, however, wasn't the surreal part. Before his eyes a tree dwelling Yōkai emerged from the trunk of the great tree, made of a green mist that seemed to hold no definite shape. The mist circled around the child for a moment, before entering through the child's mouth and nose. Suddenly the dark hair faded to green, the child's eye's opened showing bright green eyes and a wild cry ripped from the child's mouth. That cry shocked him into reality and he rushed forward, covering the child and returning home. There he retold the story of what he saw to his grandparents, and with no explanation and no way to know who the child belonged too they decided to keep the child and name her Mori Chisana. Deciding to stay behind to help raise Mori, Kiron remained home for another 10 years.

So Mori grew up, is an average life with her two Grandparents and her Father. A very simple life of helping the small town, and playing with the other children. She had little worries and her world was pretty much that small town. Everything outside of that seemed like nothing but a distant dream. Though, as she grew up it was clear that she was...Well...Different. For one, whenever she couldn't be found she was always in the forest and the tree that she was found at - which now only stood a withered and dead tree. Always talking and laughing to herself while there as if having a conversation. She never got sick, not even a slight sniffle of the nose. Though she played with other kids it wasn't hard to see the slight rift between them. Mori just never seemed to completely fit in, but that didn't stop her from trying. Never failing to smile and always willing to help anyone who asked. She was friendly to everyone, even the random travelers that came too and from.

Mori was also very close to her father. Perhaps it was because he was the one who found her all those years ago. Other than hiding out in the forest, Mori was always following behind Kiron just like a shadow. If Kiron was there, then more than likely Mori wasn't far behind. Mori just felt the safest whenever they were together, and she could never fall asleep unless he was in the room with her. One of her favorite pass times was watching her father practice with his sword. So it came as a real shock to her when Kiron decided to resume his travels. Mori, now 10 years old, didn't want him to leave and begged him to stay or take her with him. Sadly he did neither, only giving her a blue, teardrop shaped pendant as a parting gift. Telling her that if she ever had any troubles falling asleep look at the pendant and he was always there. With those parting words he left, never to he seen again. Letters came monthly, saying he was alright and where his next stop would be as to receive the next letters.

Suddenly the letters stopped, and nothing was received from Kiron for almost a half year when finally there was a knock on the door. It was Izoro, a traveling swordsman often talked about in Kiron's letters, coming to bear news that Mori never wanted to hear. Apparently they had been traveling companions for a while, and Izoro felt obligated to deliver the news. 6 moths ago Kiron had died at the hand of a one armed swordsman. Hearing the news Mori, now 17, was devastated. She couldn't believe it, how could her father be dead? He was the greatest person she ever knew, who would want him gone? In a daze she took the few belongings Izoro returned - clothes, money(they let Izoro have that), and sword - and left to her room. That night she fled to the forest to seek comfort in the trees, which she did remaining there for the whole night.

The next day she asked Izoro about this one armed man, and vowed that she would find him and take revenge for her father. So taking her father's blade she began practicing on her own, using what she remembered from watching him practice. Izoro wished her luck, and left the same morning without another word. 3 years later, at 20 years of age she is finally about to set out from her home town for the first time in hopes of avenging her father.

Warrior Type: Swordsman
[spoiler=Primary Weapon(s):] [img]http://www.japanese-samurai-swords.net/store/images/T/japanese-swords-samurai-swords-bushido-fuji-katana.jpg[/img][/spoiler]
Secondary Weapon(s) & Equipment: N/A

[spoiler=Ability(s): ]
[b][u]Regeneration[/u][/b]
Nothing special really, due to her having more Nature Energy in her she heals twice as fast as others. So something that would take 2 weeks would only take 1 to heal.

[b][u]Dual-Wield[/u][/b]
Due to Mori being ambidexterous she has the capibility of using dual-wield, however she is more proficient at using one blade. So if she does every dual wield, then she is willingly giving the opponent a handicap.

[b][u]Quick Switch[/u][/b]
Mori's main fighting style in which she will alternate her blade between both of her hands, causing confusion with the opponent. A style her father came up with.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Special Technique(s):]
[b][u]Nature Song[/u][/b]
Plucks her sword with her finger, causing the blade to glow a faint green and began to vibrate. A sound wave then ripples outward from the blade causing all those within hearing range to become sluggish, confused and disoriented. When Mori's blade clashes with another, the sound is momentarily amplified. Sadly she can only use this for 1 minute.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Magic:]
As a result of Mori's abnormal "birth" she has a bit more Nature Energy inside of her than most people. However, she is quite inexperienced with her magic often failing to do the most simplest task of just concentrating her Nature Energy to one point. It takes a lot of concentration to just do that. Mori is still learning how to accomplish utilizing her Nature Energy. Though it is easier for her to use it when channeling it through a mediator(i.e her sword)[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Stats]

4/5 Nature Energy
1/5 Strength
2/5 Defense
5/5 Speed
2/5 Technique

Username:29109120
Name: Yamataki (山滝)
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: September 23
Blood Type: AB
Hobby(s): Generally enjoying himself.
[spoiler=Appearance:] Yamataki stands perhaps an inch or two taller than average, and bears a lean build which is usually seen in those that have had to work for their entire lives. His skin bears the touch of the sun upon it, and as such is marginally darker than it would be otherwise. This contrasts remarkably with his strangely pale hair, almost white but just enough grey tint to grant it the appearance of being formed from strands of stone, tied back into a pony tail which hangs down to the small of his back. His face is somewhat unremarkable, save that the angles from his cheekbones to his chin are a bit sharper than average. Most startling are his dichromatic eyes, the left being a piercing emerald green and the right being a dull amber. When it comes to attire, a pair of pants cut off at the knee and of a rather plain brown color are worn upon his legs whilst a pair of [url="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/Geta.JPG/800px-Geta.JPG"]Geta[/url] are worn on his feet. As for his torso, a nondescript tunic of black cloth with any sleeves it may have had torn off is worn, and his head is topped with the standard conical straw hat when he is outside. He carries his sword in its scabbard, which is held against his lower back parallel to the ground by a plain grey sash.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Personality:] Yamataki isn't exactly the sort of person you'd ask to watch your kids. A few words used to describe him often enough are rash, foolhardy, hot-tempered, and a few less polite things here and there. He does his best to have a good time wherever he goes, and this often manifests itself in him being rather blatant with his advances towards the fairer sex and drinking a little too much. He doesn't react well when his good time is ruined, and often violence is his way of responding to such actions whether it be verbal or physical violence. He is rather outspoken, and quick to voice his opinion about a subject. Despite all of this, he has a soft spot for kids, particularly the less-well-off kids in society.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Bio] Yamataki doesn't have a surname, or at least he doesn't know it if he does. His earliest memory is of being left alone in a city by a woman he assumes to be his mother, and from then on life was hard for him. He wound up in a gang of children then, and lived as a street urchin for several years. They were good to him, and before long they had become the family he'd been abandoned from. He went by his name then, and has since the day that he was abandoned with a few words. "Wait here Yamitaki, I'll be back soon." Abandoned in that way, he was very quiet for most of his younger years and often troubled by thoughts of why the woman had never come back for him. Of course through his childhood he learned to fight, being a street urchin'll do that to ya. He ran across loss for the second time when he was about thirteen years of age, and an epidemic began spreading through the city in which he lived. All those members of his new family fell ill, but by either luck or the designs of heaven he avoided contracting it and was left with being forced to watch as the family he had built was taken away from him. Seeing how quickly life could be taken away had an impact on him, and from there on out he decided "to hell with this, I'm gonna have fun!" That decided, he found what he needed to provide for a life of having fun in a sword stolen from the local blacksmith. Sword in hand, he left that city and headed out into the world with no purpose in mind than having as much fun as he could. Some eight years have since passed, and the experiences of this life of his have left him stronger, faster and older though not much wiser. He still has that same sword, and it is a testament to its quality that the edge has never dulled. He's earned a reputation as a sell-sword, and knows every bit as much about why he was left alone as he did the day that it happened. Not having any reason other than boredom to drive him, he's decided upon making his way into the nation of Ryūjin, and being in Fukai at the time he managed to find his way towards a certain town therein to find his way.[/spoiler]

[b][u]Combat Info[/u][/b]
Warrior Type: Swordsman
[spoiler=Primary Weapon][img]http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w339/Kiokama/Weapons/Citadel_Curly_Katana_Shira_Saya_CDK12_zpsc3caf9d4.jpg[/img]
That simple sword which Yamataki stole that day was a masterpiece of a weapon, evidenced by the fact that it has not dulled since the day he first drew it. The weapon measures 70cm (27.5 inches) in length. It is a balanced weapon, with weight evenly distributed along its length. This balance lends itself to quick strikes, which its wielder performs with one hand or both just as easily.[/spoiler]
Secondary Weapon(s) & Equipment: A small sack for carrying coin.
[Spoiler=Abilities:]
[u]Lightning Reactions[/u]
The life of a mercenary is often a short, brutal, and bloody one so those who survive long often pick up a few tricks. Crucial to ones survival is the ability to react to an opponent's moves and, in many cases, dodge or parry them. Yamataki has embraced this quite a bit, and despite lacking any proper training he is able to dance around the blows sent his way by slower enemies and keep pace with the quicker ones.
[u]Style-less [/u]
Lacking any proper training has its ups and downs. He's never learned any secret workings of the refined art of swordsmanship and thus lacks the benefit from regimented training imparting muscle memory of strikes to him. At the same time though, he is much more flexible in combat that most trained fighters and can often work out how best to throw off whatever balance is necessary for an actual style to function.
[u]Hand-to-Hand[/u]
When all else fails, it's always good to be able to rely on Thunder and Lightning! Yamataki embraces this philosophy and has learned a good bit about fighting without a weapon. He isn't skilled enough to fight entirely without his sword though, and the majority of his unarmed combat consists of moves designed to be used in conjunction with his sword combat. This being the case, it's mostly trips and a grapple or two.
[u]Magic Potential[/u]
Unbeknownst even to himself, Yamataki has a great deal of potential to utilize magic. Of course without proper training, or at the very least some idea as to how to work it, he has little hope of ever unlocking it.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Special Techniques:]
[u]Draw Strike[/u]
Yamataki never draws his weapon without the intention to use it, and when he does it is done with a movement so quick that most eyes have difficulty keeping up with it. The momentum from this motion is quickly turned into striking force, as the nearest foe to him finds his blade arcing through the air towards them with lethal intent. The slow or untrained often fail to deflect this.
[u]Stunning Blow[/u]
Nothing quite surprises a foe like a punch being used in a sword fight, and Yamataki takes full advantage of this. Nothing special, just a sharp jab to the gut, but all the same it does the trick and most foes are left needing a moment to recover. That's all he needs.[/spoiler]
Magic: N/A

[b][u]Other Info[/u][/b]
He often goes just by Yama (山) meaning mountain.
Yamataki's carefree lifestyle requires payment, and as such he often finds himself working in any number of aspects.
You don't stay alive in his business by losing, and as such Yama has managed to avoid a loss.
The man who commissioned Yama's sword does want it, and as such he occasionally finds hired thugs coming his way.
This is Yamataki's [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocPKo28w-sM"]theme[/url].


Edit: Alright, I've been making this steadily across the whole night so I'm gonna sleep. Don't expect me to respond immediately to criticisms.

[.:Blu:.]

Hotaru, wonderful as expected so no complaints from me!

Admiral, well that's certainly strange. Oh well, just a minor issue.

Keto, awesome app as well, and I don't see any issues to point out.

Kidd Buu, the only problem I see with your app is that the personality needs to be at least one line longer.

Currently, all we need now is for Enrise, Admiral, and Kio-kun to finish their apps and assuming there won't be anymore participants, I can go ahead and do a final review on all apps before I choose my official main protagonists.

[Kidd Buu]

Fixed. :DD

Hobby(s): Challenging others to fights; Seeking out anything that looks exciting
[spoiler=Appearance:][/size]
[size=3]Towering over anyone he's ever met with a height of 218 cm (7'2") and weighing in at 253 lbs, it's no question how Kyojin got his name. Constant exposure to the sun has turned Kyojin's skin a dark bronze, emphasizing his unique appearance even more in public. Combine that with his jet black eyes and shaved black hair, and Kyojin makes for a fearsome sight to any potential enemies. His entire body is well defined, and his muscles often make it difficult to wear tight clothing because it almost always tears. For this reason, Kyojin wears the top of his loose golden temple robes with their sleeves ripped off, and wears baggy grey pants. This specially designed outfit is truly unique for its lack of footwear, and for the headband Kyojin wears with an omamori hanging down the left side of his head just behind his ear. To keep his skin from getting cut up or too bruised, Kyojin wears white bandages around his his hands and forearms at all times, along with the bottoms of his feet up to his shins. He keeps his each of his gauntlets on either side of him, hooked in on his black cloth belt.

[spoiler=Personality:][/size]
[size=3]Anyone who knows Kyojin knows of his long-standing disposition towards all things complicated. But Kyojin's tendency to over-simplify isn't just part of some philosophy he came up with for the sake of being obdurate. Rather, it is reflected in every aspect of his life. Even his name, which Kyojin takes pride in, consists of only two characters. Kyojin's respect for simple names applies to all names with two or less characters. Any more characters and Kyojin finds their complexity to be disgusting. He also has a hard time with relationships of any kind. The only form of companionship he's ever been comfortable with is with a brother-in-arms. Kyojin's number one doctrine is that there should be nothing complex about battle, as there are only ever two real sides, a winner and a loser. His number two doctrine is that he doesn't accept any doctrines. Or philosophies. Or any sort of organized belief. Kyojin rarely even accepts the convention of 'believing.' The only thing Kyojin knows is that he either is something, or he isn't. And when he does, he knows it with all his heart, because Kyojin never does anything halfheartedly.[/size]

[size=3]Another complicated thing that Kyojin hates is money. For him, there are way too many numbers involved, and it's complicated to keep track of all your earnings. Instead, Kyojin gets by in life by either hunting his food, challenging others to fights with food as the bet, or performing jobs in exchange for food. Kyojin is the farthest thing from a strategist, and his sense of logic is completely misguided. That being said, his intuition on the battlefield is well beyond his years, and his experience in several ruthless brawls makes up for his lack of forethought. Despite his ruthlessness and instability in relationships, Kyojin is not cruel. To be completely honest, Kyojin does not consider himself to be morally alligned in any way, good or evil. The only criterion that he uses to make his decisions is his fists. And to those decisions, he is loyal to the end. Lastly, Kyojin finds the separation of the seven nations to be too complicated. Everything would just be simpler if they were to join into one giant nation, with one ruler...[/size]

[size=3][spoiler=Bio:][/size]
[size=3]Birth. The moment where all stories begin. Unless of course you plan on using some sort of fancy writing technique like [i]in media res[/i]. In which case your story would begin somewhere around the time when you start having your mid-life crisis. And if you were a good writer, you'd probably be able to make that work out pretty well. Unfortunately, you're not. Not like it matters, because I'm the one writing this thing. Besides, these kinds of stories are waaaaay too complicated. And if there's one thing about our main character that you should know, it's that he [i][b]hates[/b][/i] anything complicated. But just who exactly is this main character? And why does his hatred of anything complicated merit mention in the opening paragraph of his Bio? Well, you'll just have to sit there and read to find out, won't you? (<-- In case you were wondering, the answer is "yes.")[/size]

[size=3]As stated previously, we start at birth. Specifically, the birth of our so-called 'main character' Kyojin. Now Kyojin's birth was just like any other run-of-the-mill delivery. His mother was nine months pregnant and lying on her back in the soft bed. She cried out in distres with every contraction as she pushed with all her might to get the baby out and put an end to the crescendoing waves of pain that flowed through her body. Every thought in her head repeated the same thing: [/size][i]"When will this ever end?"[/i][size=3] Suddenly, a light went off in her head. [i]"What if I die here, trying to get this baby out..."[/i][/size]

[size=3]"AAAAAHHHH!!!" With one last piercing shriek of terror, she focused every fiber of her being into getting out the parasite that had been feeding off of her for three quarters of the year. Her hips jerked with a quick and violent jolt. Then, the pain was gone. The sound of crying filled the room. The mother lifted her head up and stared at her newborn child. It looked like a healthy one. Big, too. She laid back and closed her eyes, wiping the sweat off of her brow. Already her strength was fading. There was no way for her to get up now, only accept what was coming. As her eyes closed, a man adorned in ornate orange robes walked in. He must have been only 5'2" tall, and had a long white beard that went down to his waste. He said nothing, only standing at the foot of the bed as he watched. She forced out a weak smile, the tears rolling down her face. Finally, her eyes shut, and her body went limp. A brief moment passed. Then, the man reached out and picked up the child. He wrapped the boy carefully in a fresh towel, and carried him back outside. There, four men sat in the road in front of the house, each pair of two on one side of the litter with a pole in their hands. They also wore robes of the same style as the bearded man. He stepped off of the front porch and opened the curtain, getting into the box. Once seated, the other four stood up, raising the poles on their shoulders and lifting the box to eye-level. Without any commands, they turned, walking forward into the sunset, the wailing child never pausing for rest the entire trip.[/size]

[size=3]--------------------------------------------------[/size]

[size=3]The man that had taken Kyojin after he was born was the head monk at a monastery. The mother knew she would be unable to raise the child on her own, and had made arrangements for him to be adopted by the order living at a temple not far off. For the years to come, the young Kyojin would be trained in the ways of harnessing the nature energy around him and focusing it through elemental control in order to achieve harmony with the world. Ironically, even with Kyojin's inherent sense of control over nature energy, he was never great at calming himself in order to commune with the elements. In fact, many thing Kyojin did were out of place for the monk-in-training. He was always reckless, challenging the other disciples to fights despite constant scolding by his masters. Their harsh words never did curb Kyojin's hot-blooded temperament though. Continually disobeying orders and enduring punishment, Kyojin only accepted the training offered by the monks in order to hone his fighting skills. The rigorous physical exercise they performed was a large part of their stigma as they believed that a disciplined body led to a disciplined mind. Yet again, Kyojin proved that even with the most well built body, one can utterly fail at honing their mental capacity. After turning 17, Kyojin left the temple on a journey to discover what the world had to offer him in the way of opponents. For the next 6 years, he fought across countries in all styles of fights, regardless of the regulations or legality. The experiences Kyojin went through made him into the man he is today: a man searching for the ultimate opponent, and for a world that can understand him and his burning passion to break down anything complex.[/size]

[size=3][b][u]Combat Info[/u][/b]
Warrior Type: Other – Martial Artist
[spoiler=Primary Weapon(s):]
Kyojin wears incredibly durable metal gauntlets that cover his forarms. Both have small spikes on the knuckles, making them able to pierce armor and flesh more effectively. Despite the material and thickness of the gauntlets, Kyojin’s punching speed is faster than most humans’.
[/spoiler]
Secondary Weapon(s) & Equipment: N/A
[spoiler=Ability(s):]
[b][u]Monstrous Strength[/u][/b]
Kyojin’s years of intense training have built up very dense and powerful muscles throughout his body. Accompanied by his unwavering willpower, stamina, and Jinsei Augmentation, Kyojin has become able to perform amazing feats of strength such as running at amazing speeds, leaping over barriers that seemed insurmountable, and sending lesser opponents to the ground in a single blow! These traits have earned Kyojin his reputation as one who possesses “monstrous” strength.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Special Technique(s):]
[b][u]風神の神拳 - Fūjin no shinken (Wind God’s Divine Fist)[/u][/b][/size]
[size=3]Kyojin's strongest technique reserved for times of extreme duress and life-or-death situations. Kyojin enters a state in which his manipulation of Nature Energy elevates to the point where he can draw it in from his surroundings and send it outside of his body to heighten his offensive and defensive capabilities. While in this state, Kyojin's body exerts waves of Nature Energy that manipulate the wind around him. As a result, his passive Jinsei Armor is increased slightly. His punches shoot out gusts of wind that allow seemingly dodged attacks to hit if the enemy is close enough, and by exerting massive amounts of Nature Energy, he can even extend the range of his punch to hit enemies that try to stay at a distance. This state puts extreme physical and mental stress on Kyojin, and after every use he is driven to the point of exhaustion, sometimes collapsing in order to let his body rejuvenate. Should he use it too often, it deteriorates his body and can kill him. For this reason he does not stay in the state for longer than a few minutes, the length shortening the more energy he expends.[/size]
[size=3][/spoiler]
[spoiler=Magic:]
[b][u]Jinsei Augmentation[/u][/b]
[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif]A passive magic known by experience warriors and mid-level sages, this magic concentrates Nature Energy and spreads the energy throughout a person's body, creating a kind of natural "armor" that increases a person's durability significantly and without the person needing to regulate the magic. It is unknown how a warrior acquires this magic but it seems to naturally happen once a warrior learns how to concentrate Nature Energy. Unlike the standard Jinsei Armor, Jinsei Augmentation is a more advanced skill that allows the regulation of Nature Energy in one's body in order to enhance certain body parts even further.[/font]
