I've been contemplating this since yesterday and after thinking for a while, I've decided to eliminate the following people:

Kidd Buu
Loki Rancid
Neph
Ketodama

While all of your apps were good, they didn't capture me in the way the other apps did. I wish you the best of luck in your other RPs and such.

Congratulations to those who weren't eliminated. You're safe for now.

Oh wow. Close one...

Chaos, don't celebrate, you were one person away from being eliminated -__- lol jk xD

But I agree, everyone has amazing apps.

Anyways, there are still people who haven't completed/posted their apps so the competition is still very much on. Remember, I'm only accepting three others.

... I just remembered I needed to re-do my Bio because I rushed that last minute...

And..... I'll be back.

[Aix]

*sigh of relief*

[Hotaru987]

Is it ok if i add to my app?

[Thar]

Eh, it was worth a try.

[Crystal Remnants]

I updated my app. I'm having a blast doing it. Is there a time limit to finish? I'll respect anything set. I just want to know because this upcoming week is going to be killer, so I need to know how I should allocate my time.

[.:Blu:.]

Hotaru, if you want then by all means go ahead ^^

Remnants, I would say have your app by Wednesday if you can but there isn't an actual set time limit.

With that said however, I will not be accepting anymore apps except from those who are incomplete with theirs and have posted in the OOC. This way, we won't need to wait for any latecomers.

[Super Chaos Sonic]

Oh boy, coming to home stretch with this...^^;

[Enrise]

So how many are you expecting to judge as of now?

[.:Blu:.]

Enrise, I'm not gonna be judging yet until some more apps are completed if that's what you meant. Btw, have you completed yours yet? The last time I checked you have everything done but only one thing in the "Other Info" section so I'm unsure if you're done or not.

I mean after everyone has completed their apps.

And I believe I'm well content with how my app is right now. So unless I can think of anything else, yes. I am finished.

[Asriel Dreemurr]

Well, another RP with limited acceptance that I can't get into. I find myself somewhat irritated that I can't get into a decent RP and the ones I've been accepted for are either very slowly reaching their end or doomed to never start. *Shrug* That's just how this goes I guess.

[.:Blu:.]

Enrise, I'll probably go that way considering how long the others will take to complete their apps. Alright, good to know your app is completed. That means you are now entered into the competition.

Keto, sorry man, but don't give up, keep going for the ones you find interesting no matter if it has limited acceptance or not. Nothing lasts forever so I'm sure your bad luck will run out too.

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

Right. It took this far to get the personality done. Now I just need to dump the bio in the morning or something (it's about 11:30pm where I am atm, so keep that in mind) and I'd be good to go for the next elimination round.

[Yosuke-kun]

I should be done by Tuesday, provided I'm not disrupted by surprise guests again >.> If it's not in by Wednesday though, just eliminate me.

[.:Blu:.]

Hopefully the rest of the apps are coming along well. I'd just received an app via PM so we now have another competitor joining the team.

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

Bugger... I [i]had[/i] Yajirushi's bio all fleshed out and now I've lost it again

Might have to sleep on it and see what happens.

[.:Blu:.]

Alright, I'm officially setting tomorrow as the deadline for all apps. I think the app process has taken long enough and it's time to move on. Hopefully those who haven't completed their apps will be done by tomorrow.

And if they haven't finished, they'll be dropped before the actual judging, am I right?

[.:Blu:.]

Correct.

Welp, that's all the motivation [i]I[/i] need. Onto that bio of mine.

[/quote]

This might be just my personal opinion, but it isn't that hard to type up a bio.

I did mine in what.... 20-30 minutes tops? And I was only partially distracted by music.

I mean, it's not hard to do. I mean, you already have the general outline of your character's bio, all it needs is a buff-up so it looks more appealing while reading.

[color=#0000CD]Sorry, guys. I actually finished my app. So that may be why Blu wants stuff in now.[/color]

[b][u]Personal Info[/u][/b]
Username: [b] 029[/b]12345
Name: Takeo Kimura
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: February 6th
Blood Type: O
Hobby(s): Hunting, paying respect to the dead, training, becoming a man.
[spoiler=Appearance]
[img]http://img-cache.cdn.gaiaonline.com/da981078ff9cfa662e16fe1b421db43f/http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae322/Ellevana/256Male/Anime_male_redhead-2.jpg[/img]
Takeo stands at approximately six feet tall. Since starting his quest Takeo has taken up to putting on an angry facade. When by himself he will have a more peaceful look and demeanor. Instead of the clothing in the picture he wears lightweight clothing that have obviously been made from animal hide. They manage to give him decent protection while still granting him great maneuverability.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Personality]
Takeo is a fairly pacifistic person. He prefers to avoid any sort of bloodshed whatsoever unless of course it’s necessary like when hunting for food or for self-defense. He’s infamous in his clan for being a very kind, formal, and respectful young man, traits that are actually very rare for his clan even amongst its leaders. Like his clan though he tends to be very frugal and maintain their love for the hunt. Ever since starting his quest to become a man he has decided to act more like the heads of his clan which would be pretending to be more violent and spiel a bunch of profanity. Of course he has problems of his own doing this. Occasionally his real personality will leak out on impulse and even more likely he’ll hesitate to say something vulgar but his most rare thing is to actually act aggressively.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Bio]
Takeo is the first son to the head of the Kimura clan; a clan that has made its home mostly in the trees of a large forest and well known for their excellent marksmanship, hunting skills, and frugality. Takeo is of course no exception to any of this. His clan is a fairly basic, poor, and small one seeing as how they rely on hunting to make a living but they live the way they want to with everything they have. Another thing his clan heavily stresses is the importance of being a “man.” For this reason they always send the next heir of the clan on a journey of self discovery and to become a “true man.” With nothing but the clothes on his back and a few weapons he set out on his journey to become a man or risk never again being permitted to return.
[/spoiler]

[u][b]Combat Info[/b][/u]
Warrior Type: Hunter
[spoiler=Primary Weapon: Bow And Arrow]
[img]http://images.buycostumes.com/mgen/merchandiser/75014.jpg?zm=1600,1600,1,0,0[/img]
A bow that’s been in the possession of Takeo’s family for many generations. It’s said that it was soaked in the blood of their clan’s founder and became enhanced with the large amount of natural energy that he still held in his body after his death. It’s not known whether or not that rumor is true but it does explain the bow’s amazing resilience while still managing to be flexible.
[/spoiler]
[Spoiler=Secondary Weapon: Wakizashi]
[img]http://images.solidcactus.com/swblades/wabashsa.jpg[/img]
A wakizashi Takeo may be forced to use in close combat. It’s more of a last resort weapon right in case he’s actually forced into close range combat. He’s fairly adept at the usage of it but in a fight with a strong opponent he’ll stand no chance if he’s relying solely on this. He’ll tend to hold it in reverse so that he can still use his index and middle finger to fire arrows even though he’s holding this weapon.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Abilities]
[u]Enhanced Senses- [/u]Takeo has all five of his senses that have greatly excelled past the limitations of normal humans through many generations of his family hunting and his own rigorous training.
[u]Enhanced Speed- [/u]Another incredibly useful ability on the hunt is his clan’s far above average speed said to be able to compete with any animal or even monster found in the they dangerous forest they take residence in.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Special Techniques]
[u]Naturalized Arrowheads-[/u] He’s able to very quickly cover his arrowheads with a small layer of natural energy. Once covered the penetration power of the arrows greatly increase along with the aerodynamics of the arrow so its speed along with the distance the arrow can travel increases.
[u]Air Shot-[/u] A simple sounding yet still surprisingly difficult shot to make. It’s basically shooting an arrow up into the arrow in order to have it drop down on a predetermined location. It’s an excellent way to fire an arrow from behind cover when pinned down by opposing fire, just trying to avoid being discovered yet still needing to break apart at the enemy opposition, or when firing at an enemy that is behind cover. It was a technique in hunting to not get out of your hiding spot yet still take out an animal so it wouldn’t notice you and run off.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Magic]
[u][u]Jinsei Armor-[/u][/u]A passive magic known by any respectable warrior, 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. Experienced warriors and mid-level Sages are able to regulate the dispersal of Nature Energy throughout their body, allowing them to increase the durability of certain body parts more significantly than the passive method.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Stats]
2/5 Nature Energy
3/5 Strength
2/5 Defense
5/5 Speed
5/5 Technique
5/5 Wisdom
[/spoiler]
Other Info
-He can cook. It’s an important skill to know in his clan.
-He doesn’t know how to read or write. It never seemed like an important skill to his clan.
-Takeo makes his own arrows. The shaft is of course made with wood but the arrowhead is made out of whatever. Most commonly out of the bone of animals he has hunted and killed.

[.:Blu:.]

Enrise, agreed, but of course you also need to factor in other complications that may exist.

Hmm, that's weird that your picture in your appearance still isn't showing up Desu.

[Desu the Blue Nerd]

[color=#0000CD]Hm, that is indeed odd. Works when I'm editing it but not normal. Oh well. Copy and pasting, right?[/color]

[Crystal Remnants]

It is like, 1 AM where I am now, and I have to get up pretty early, so there's no chance of me finishing it right now. I can get it finished as early as 3 PM or so, though it could be as late as 6 PM. Either way, I'll get it done today before it gets late.
