Example Asentari

Name: Krad Obidaiya (O-bee-die-yeah)
Age: 13
True age: 17
Sex: Male
Personality: Being small for his age, he was often picked on and bullied, giving him a strong sense of justice. Often considered to be one of the weakest people in their class, he's also given some respect, due to how hard he forces even the strongest of their class to fight him (and how annoying it is to fight him). He's extremely stubborn in times where action is needed, and often needs to be knocked out before he'll quit. Translation: He never gives up.

While intelligent enough to get by without worry in regards to his classes, he has few friends. This is because they don't look after him as much as he looks after them. So he does have some trust issues. He's generally very quiet. So much so that for a year, everyone thought he was a mute until he was actually called on to answer a question in class.

While seemingly cold, and mostly unapproachable, he is a kind and caring person. Often anonimously helping people when they're down and the like, such as giving them flowers if they had lost a loved one. Though he is seen helping the elderly and young children or those in need on occasion. Volunteering for various public works jobs/humanitarian aid within the Republic is kind of a hobby he developed. While he's a common face for volunteers, he's often gone unnoticed due to both his size and his quiet personality.

He's persistant, but doesn't speak or communicate with his teammates, which does makes it difficult to coordinate with him. But is otherwise a very valued teammate to have, and is often picked first for teams in practice fights, despite his percieved weakness. He also hates being ignored on the battlefield. He speaks mostly by action. He's very stoic, otherwise, making him smile is often quite a feat of its own.

Likes/dislikes: Likes helping other people, training, and ice cream. Dislikes bullies, terrible food, and warm temperatures.
Fears: Not protecting anyone, lava/magma, ghosts



hieght: Five feet two inches tall.
weight: 125 lbs.
Appearance:



On his back, there is a large snowflake pattern of ice blue scales, with smaller versions on his palms. There is also a small, bone spike on his left knee. Like most Asentari, he has longer than normal canine teeth. Behind his right ear is a patch of ice blue scales as well. On his stomach is his Draconis Seal. He is surprisingly flexible.

clothing: He wears a plain shirt like in the above picture most of the time. Occasionally a blue cloak when the weather gets bad. Brown or black trousers and shoes/boots often finishes his outfit. Only on occasion does he wear black gloves.



General Fighting Tactics: He's more of a team player than a single, one on one combatant. He's very fast with a reaction time to match, and can take hits pretty well, but overly relies on his weapons and abilities to do his damage, as his physical strength isn't good. Neither, however, is the amount of magical power. He tends to aim for joints and debilitating the enemy first, and then go in for the kill. He also uses his flexibility to do unusual strikes or grapples when necessary, but otherwise lacks any real offensive strength, often getting beaten in spars precisely because of that. Though he has been experimenting trying to keep in an opponent's hard to see areas, a copycat of Rex.

As a team player, he's the defender of the team, but hates being ignored, often throwing his elemental breath around to distract or shift focus to him. And often takes hits meant for teammates or otherwise using his defensive abilities for them. He relies more on other's offensive strength instead of his own relatively weaker one.

Combat Stats-

Strength || Poor
Speed ||  Good
Agility ||  Very Good
Durability || Good
Stamina || Average
Magical power || Poor

Strengths: Physical Flexibility: He's acrobatic in nature, so he's also very flexible, bending in ways most older people would cringe in watching. He can hide in odd spots or use it for an unexpected strike or grapple.

Dagger User: He's a Good user of his daggers, having sparred with his friend and surrogate older brother, Rex.

Tolerance to Cold: He prefers cooler environments, and his resistance to such temperatures shows it. He isn't as affected by cold temperatures as badly as others would be, with less risk to frostbite, hypothermia, etc. He moves well in the snow and ice, so his mobility isn't as affected either.

Weaknesses: Archery: While his chosen secondary weapon is a bow and arrow, his archery is much to be desired, especially when moving himself or against moving targets.

Lightweight: He's smol, bro. He's light and short, and easy to push around and knock back.

Fire weakness: He takes 10% more damage from fire based magic attacks.

Intolerance to heat: Summers are brutal for ice/cold Asentari already, but they're especially so for him. He's easily dehydrated in warmer temperatures, and heat exhaustion is of greater risk to him than most others. His stamina also drains much faster in warmer weather.



Primary Weapon: Duel daggers with an ice blue blade and handle. In addition to cutting someone, it gives first degree burns from frostbite around the cut, though only an inch, below is pic, just give it a blue-ish tinge to it.



secondary weapon: A standard bow and arrow.




Element: Ice

Name: Dragon Breath
Type: Offensive
Damage Category: Average
Description: The Asentari can breath out a powerful blast of their element. Generally speaking, the stronger the Asentari, the more devastating the attack, but this is their most powerful racial ability.
Cooldown: 3 post cooldown.

Name: Frostbite Hug
Type: Support
Damage Category: Weak
Description: You hold onto him, or get caught by him, you can probably expect first degree frostbite to occur. This is by will, however, so it is not passive or anything. It is enough to make you want to let go or shake him off. This can happen at four spots, at which point, each one is very weak.
Cooldown: 1 post


Name: Acid Spray
Type: Offensive
Damage Category: Average
Description: The patch of scales behind his ear produces a liquid that then deposits it in a gland that's in his mouth. He can then spray/spit it from his mouth. It is acidic in nature, burning the person on contact. He could hurl it as far as he can spit it. It only burns up to third degree (if concentrated and player permission, otherwise, second degree burns is max), and it requires two posts to build up enough liquid to do it again effectively. He could coat his weapons in it as well, by spitting on them (it does not effect metal, but will effect leather, wood, anything organic.).
Cooldown: 3 posts

Name: Acidic Blood
Type: Support?
Damage Category: Very Weak
Description: His blood is acidic compared to anyone else's, an interesting surprise once discovered. While it does make bandaging him up and treating him a pain, it can be applied to get out of rope restraints or use injuries as weapons. It is a very weak acid, however, leaving minor skin irritation, rashes, or sunburns on the skin, but short lasting. Of course, any kind of acid to the eyes or other soft/sensitive tissue is devastating.
Cooldown: Passive

Name: Acidic Touch
Type: Offensive
Damage Category: Average
Description: He can minimize and concentrate the acid in his own blood into his hands, face, toes, etc. and secrete it, making a kind of acidic film on the surface, making another way touching him could be bad for your health. It is just as strong as the Acidic spray, just he has to touch someone instead of spit on them.
Cooldown: 2 posts



Seal appearance: An ice blue version of the symbol below, located on his stomach, just above the belly button.



Transformation method: He stabs himself in the stomach with either his daggers, his hand, or an arrow, anything really.

New appearance: He gains a spike on his right knee, as well as a trio of very small, but sharp spikes on the front of his neck, surrounded by small patches of ice blue scales. His fingernails become more like claws. Two small spikes form from the back of his neck as well, where the neck connects to his head. His sides become coated in ice blue scales. The new Draconic Seal is in the same spot. He also grows a little bit, but only a couple of inches. His shoulders are also covered in ice blue scales.


Name: Acidic Ice Needles
Type: Offensive
Damage Category: Strong
Description: Eight small, urine colored needles made of FROZEN ACID (from his acidic blood, see Acidic Touch) is fired from the area. The acid itself is weak, but it gets stuck on a person's skin, and melts, affecting a large area. With eight of them, assuming all hit, makes it strong. This is more of a combo of his acidic abilities and his dragon element, but felt it more belonged here than anywhere else. It is virtually useless against medium and heavy armor, and most kinds of light armor, but normal clothes is fair game on penetration.
Cooldown: 3 posts, cannot be used on same spot as Acidic Touch.


Name: Ice Weapon Construct
Type: Support
Damage Category: None
Description: He can make a weapon or shield out of ice. A small shield and six inches outward from the forearm or a long dagger/really short sword is the limit on size.
Cooldown: 2

Name: Ice Armor
Type: Defensive
Damage Category: Average
Description: A standard piece of armor made of ice is formed at the chose body part. A single Ice Gauntlet? Sure. A single Ice Shoulder Piece? No problem. Only one can be formed, and it does stalls out bleeding if the area is bleeding, but once the ice has been melted or smashed, bleeding often resumes.
Cooldown: 2 posts

Name: Acid Regeneration
Type: Support/Restorative?
Damage Category: N/A
Description: He reduces the cooldown on all of his acid abilities by one via overclocking his body's acid production...well, everywhere, utilizing his magic power. It is severely draining to do so, however. In addition, this ability inherits the COMBINED cooldown of all acid/combo acid abilities he has. For example, of only Acid Spray is on cooldown, this ability gets one post cooldown. But if Acid Spray, Acidic Ice Needles, and Acidic Touch are all on cooldown, this ability has a 3 post cooldown.
Cooldown: Varys, but minimum of one. See Description.

Boosts: Strength +1, Agility +1, Speed +1, Magic Power +1



Seal appearance: It is in the same spot and looks mostly the same. There's a double of it facing it (centered) with a snowflake in the "background" of the two.

Transformation method: Exactly as last time. He stabs himself there.

New appearance: He gains ice blue wings that allow him to fly. His entire neck is covered in ice blue scales. He gains three more spikes across the back of his neck, and a spike at the back of his hands and on the top of his feet. His teeth becomes more carniverious in nature. His eye color changes dramatically, matching his hair color. He also grows by 10 inches, his body size increasing appropriately. His shoulders gain a spike as well.


Name: Acidic Icicle Crash
Type: Offensive
Damage Category: Very Strong
Description: Another combo ability, from his wings, urine colored, eight inch long icicles form and is fired. There are eight of them, and the acid part deals strong damage if all eight of them hit, but the stabbyness of them makes it very strong. This is very lethal, and cannot be used at the same time as Acid Rain. Is the only Ability not compatible with Acid Regeneration. Light armor reduces stabbyness, but you'll likely get poked, medium armor will be dented and probably knock you on your butt, heavy armor will make you take some steps back but is otherwise unaffected.
Cooldown: Five post Cooldown


Name: Acid Rain
Type: Offensive
Damage Category: Strong
Description: With every flap of his wings, he sprays out acid. This will cause up to 2nd degree burns on organics. The "rain" are small drips. While difficult to dodge, it is possible, even for a human. Cannot be used at the same time as Acidic Icicle Crash. Three flaps is all it takes, and you'd have to be drenched to take the full brunt of it. The higher he is, the more spread out it is and easier to see coming, but the optimal height to drench someone is typically 15 to 25 feet, depending on target size.
Cooldown: 4 Posts

Name: Frozen Wonderland
Element: Ice Manipulation
Description: It is often used to overwhelm the opponent with small ice blades and as an auxiliary ability, such as freezing the ground with a thin sheen of ice or spending time to freeze a person's limb in place. Ice pillars aren't uncommon usage for him, or other defensive means, but he tends to stick with barrage style ice attacks.
Effect: Solid
Cooldown: 3 post duration, 2 post cd.

Name: Personal Bubble
Type: Support
Damage Category: N/A
Description: The area in a 30 foot radius of him is noticeably cooler, like 20 degrees F is the temperature around him. While it may not impede movement, if one isn't prepared for cold weather (or a fire user), it could make fighting him at close to moderate ranges difficult because of the cold. He can turn it on or off once per turn, and uses one power point to maintain. Otherwise, he can have it on as long as he has energy.
Cooldown: Passive

New Boosts: Stamina +1, Magical power +2, Strength +2, Agility +2, Durability +1



History: He was born in a small village in upper Edia, with no memory of a father. As he grew up, he was bullied a lot in the village, with only one true friend that helped him out when he needed it. The bullying was often due to his small stature, being undersized for an Asentari. This friend became a brother figure, and practiced with him when learning to use duel daggers...keepsakes from his father, according to his mother. His mother, seeing him getting bullied and no one doing anything about it, urged her child to enroll in a private academy in the main city of Eapara to learn how to defend himself and maybe earn a bit of self confidence as well. Still, with the handful of friends he did have often betraying him, and siding with the bullies, he developed some trust issues. Only Rex stuck by him and defended him despite his own issues at home, often already bruised and beaten.

With studying and help from his neighbor, he passed and got in. While the bullying didn't stop, it was significantly less of a problem. And anyone caught was punished appropriately by the teachers, giving him some hope and a far cry from out in the country side of Upper Edia. While he had to live in the dorms, he does miss his mother and friend, who he heard is now down in lower Edia. He had gotten a wierd white knight type of reputation for standing up for other people and volunteering near constantly for soup kitchens and stuff like that. Because of the inspirational words from his neighbor and from the pain of being mostly alone without him. He figured why not use that so others didn't have to suffer as he had...separately, they were picked off by the strong, but if they stood up together, they could make a stand. "Those who know pain more than anyone else is often kinder and shows more compassion than anyone else."

While known as a competant fighter initially, he was easily picked out as the weakest in the class, overall. But was also noted by nearly all the students in his class and by the teachers, that he was extremely annoying to fight, and could, in theory, wear almost everyone down, enough so someone else can easily finish the job. As such, he gained some respect. But he gained the most respect when they started doing team battles. Often being the key to his team's victory by being the shield and using his awareness of his surroundings to his (and that of his teammate's) advantage. Just doing what seemed right, what seemed to make the most sense, using his actions. Either because he was ignored (and thus used his strongest racial attack in their backs) or the other team became focused on him that the other members took them out. Despite his lack of communication to his team. Rex near pushed him to be as pushy as possible when in a team fight. "Don't let them think you're spineless or weak. Show them why they shouldn't ignore you. But your style also more fits with being a shield in a team fight."

Krad was always stubborn, but Rex almost nurtured that aspect into his fighting style. "Never give up, even when the odds are against you. The second you do is the second you lose. Be real, however. Focus on what would count as winning." Krad would later learn that is something that the Primoris Rex told Rex not long after adopting him.

Now in his second year, and returning from his visit in the village his mother still lives in, he has a new roommate. And even harder classes to deal with.

Side notes: Doubles as an actual character app. and an example app. And that background is unusually crappy compared to what I'm usually able to pull off. But it suffices for an example app.

Rp example: Krad walked into his new dorm room, clad in his signature white shirt with blue stripes, black pants, and black shoes. The standard stuff seemed to be there. Two beds, two dressers, two closets, and two desks. And just enough room for one or two more small pieces of furniture from each student. He didn't bring much. Not like he needed much.

The small boy started unpacking, ignoring the chaos that was moving day going on in the hallway behind him. His roommate came in. "Wow...you're small..."

Krad wanted to facepalm. Really? He hadn't noticed...he was only picked on because of it once a week...maybe twice. He turned, and just stared at the man. Just over six feet tall compared to his barely over five feet tall, red eyes, green hair that matched Krad's eye color, fancy clothing. Probably bought his way in. He turned his head back and continued to unpack.

This kind of stunned the other Asentari. "So mean..." The other boy said as he started his own unpacking. Then one of his friends showed up. "Hey! Who...oh...you have Krad as a roommate."

"You know him?"

"Yeah...I was in the same class as him last year. Considered the weakest, but easily the most annoying person to fight. And a must have in a team fight. Kinda cold though...but considering the type of dragon bloodline he is, not surprising." The guy's friend gave a basic synapsis of him.

After getting done, he started to walk out. His roommate's friend getting in the way. "Get past me." He grinned. Krad knew he wanted him to show off a little. To let his roommate know he wasn't all bad. Krad threw a punch, getting it caught easily. Doing a short hop, twist of the arm, spit of a cold blast, and jump, he kicked off the wall and on his feet in the hall. He continued walking away, avoiding the various other students there.

Finding his way to the courtyard, he sat down near a tree, with shade. It was oddly cooler outside than it was inside. And he liked it better. Now...he just sat and enjoyed the cool air.

Note: For the purpose of these posts, we're keeping it in the same thread for convenience sake. Normally, you'd have to do a separate post in new apps. altogether. Seeing as this will change more often than your character. Like, a lot more often than your character. Hence the separate post so that we don't have to do a lot of sifting through and stuff. In case it isn't clear, this is for Krad. Also note, that as an A-3, he gets 10 TOTAL points, and Chosen Skills automatically have one applied, so 7 can be used freely for other skills or upgrading chosen skills.

Approved at A-3. This is a perfect example of a middle of the road app, with sufficient detail throughout to qualify it for the tier. The personality and fighting style are some of the more important aspects to focus on when creating a character, however in the case of krad, appearance and history holds it back slightly. However we understand that writing a history in a world your not familiar with will be difficult. We are happy to provide help when it comes to this areas until people are more familiar.

I agree. A-3 is by no means a bad tier to start on, and as you go you'll get better at making characters so A-5 starting tiers wil be yours in no time.
