We have added a few things to the requirements to power and ability upgrades. Be sure and read the details in the most recent update when you request a new power / upgrade.
Well, its the weekend here at MHS. Wouldn't it be great if all schools started on a Friday for the first day of school. What a way to start off. You get a weekend right after your first day. Well, this is because we are done with the first day of class. How so you ask. As you only went to one class. yes, but I am sure that doing the same thing for each class would get boring. So the one class you experienced is basically how all the classes are going to be.
Teacher posts role. Day gets started, end of class happens, everyone goes to their next class, or home..
Well, ezboard still hasn't confirmed anything on a final date when everything is changed over to Yuku. And we are working on what to do next. We all want user friendliness after everything is changed away from Ezbaord, and we are trying everything we can to ensure that we have just that when we are at a new board hosting site.
We have a guest book. Take a look. If you haven't taken a look yet, be sure and do so. ^_^

Appearance: Azure is 5/6 has a slim muscular figure, blue hair, and glowing bright aqua eyes. they are always glowing except when he closes them. As far as clothing goes, Azure wears a black t-shirt , blue jeans, white socks, black tennishoes, a black leather belt with a skull buckle that has rubies set in the eyes, and a fanged bracelet. He is a human. Last, Azure has a silver star in the center of his forehead that is permanent and is a birth mark. When he is using his abilities, it will glow with a silver light, and it's light can then be used as a light source in dark places. Otherwise, it just shimmers silver, with a constant glow.
Personality: Quiet and shy, he hasn’t met anyone his age before and because of this is, he is a recluse. If he is to be found anywhere it is a place where people do not hang out that much. He likes night, and usually meets people at that time. He likes looking at the stars and does so at night for 2 hours at the most. He likes reading books. He reads Manga, mystery, and horror novels. Historical fiction is something he reads but not to often. He also likes to play video games, and has brought a lot of them with him to MHS. He has mostly every system. He practices using his weapons everyday for 2 hours. He does this so that he can learn to control them better. He hopes to have mastered them by the time he leaves MHS. He has a vengeance that is swift and precise. It is usually against his enemies if he has any. He has flashbacks of his life before coming to earth. They are brief and he usually can not understand what they are about. He is kind and will help anyone with just about anything if it is for a good purpose. He misses his adopted parents and wishes that he could see them more often. Since he is a recluse, he has a hard time meeting people, that is why he likes to meet in the dark, and will only attend a large crowd gathering if someone he trusts asks him. But he will get along well with someone that shares the same interest as him. He wishes to meet someone that has something in common with him so that he is not as homesick. Because of this, even though he is a recluse, he will cope with just about anybody. Even if they absolutely hate him. But besides him being shy and stuff. He has a very cheery and upbeat personality that is a side that only his parents, and his friends get to see. he likes to climb trees, try different kinds of food, go swimming, and he likes to hike. If you were to meet him, he would introduce himself, but he would be cautios. But if you stopped and got to know him, then you would find a nice person that will be your freind no matter what and will never hate you. However, he has one bad trait. If his physical body is under a lot of stress, then he has a chance of mentally snapping and attacking people. This snap is only temporary, and once he lashes out, he will return to normal with terror of what he did, and with tears in his eyes.
Special Power:
Fanged bracelet: Located on his right wrist. It has an adamant band that the fangs are strung on, they are positioned on the entire bracelet. The fangs are black and white. The band used to be visible, but has now tightend to the point of sinking beneath his skin, and becoming fused with the wristbone in his arm. all that can be seen now are the fangs that are all around his wrist. The bracelet also stores the winged coffin that he was found in. The bracelet also has the ability to transform into the twin fangs of the abyss. (They are listed below)
Twin Fangs of the Abyss: He has two fighting daggers. they look like normal daggers with the exception that they are 2 feet long. They are green, made of steel, and they are VERY light. Next, they have Rubies set all in them. The rubies are permanently set in the weapons, and can not come out. Azure is learning to control his weapons, and can not use them to their fullest extent. Right now, his weapons are as sharp as any normal weapons are. Since the bracelet is bound to him, his weapons are as well. This being said, he is the only one that can use them, unless he willingly lets someone use them. Otherwise, only he can use them. Also, if someone takes them and does not know how to fight with them since they are unique, then they will be cut very badly along their wrists.
History: Azure has an interesting past. He is from another dimension of an alternate earth where magic advanced with technology, and machines.
His real parents sent him into the another dimension to tell the inhabitants of that dimension what was destined to happen. That being the last great time war. His father was a shade, and his mother was a human.
They sent him clothed in their usual attire, and they gifted him with the naginata scentas or as translated the fanged bracelet, along with the their abilities.
His mothers abilities included the winged coffin. It can store someone to protect them, heal them, put them in stasis, and it can act as a time machine, and as a means of dimensional travel. He was born with all of her abilities.
His fathers ability was the twin fangs of the abyss along with other numerous abilities that Azure inherited through him. Unfortunately, the powers would not all be known to him at once.
Even worse his parents could not come with him. So to send him on his way they teleported the coffin into the next meteor shower that would hit both dimensions. They gathered the energy to do this from a solar flare.
Once sent on his way, he headed towards earth in their meteor shower.
When he was found it became obvious that he had no biological parents that anyone knew of.
When he reached earth, he was found in Roswell texas after a meteor shower. His adopted parents found him in the bottom of one of the craters made by the meteors. They looked and there was a coffin with black wings on it. They opened it to find a child of 10 years old safely inside.
He was wearing a silver cloak along with silver clothes, blue gloves, and black shoes, there was also a black leather belt on his waist it had a skull buckle with rubies set in the eyes. He had on his wrist a red bracelet with fangs on it. It was glowing and it continued to glow as they carefully picked him up out of the coffin.
When they did, their was a bright flash of light and he suddenly rose into the air the bracelet then flashed and shot out a fanged blast that captured the coffin, the blast then levitated him and his adoptive parents out of the crater and onto the ground directly above it.
His parents then quickly left the area and for the next few months went through with adoption papers and things. When they adopted him he was given the last name Zespa. After they had made his adoption official, his parents then raised him over the next 6 years of his life.
Although they always wondered what else he could do since they still always thought about the incident that happened the day that they found him.
His adopted father is a retired martial arts instructor, and taught him self defense. His adopted mother is a retired school teacher and she taught him math, science, language arts, and the rules of society, table manners, and how to be polite in the presence of others.
But there was one thing that somewhat puzzled his parents. Azure was always a quick study and picked up everything that he was taught quickly. Things then went on for a while until he turned 15. When he did, the fanged bracelet that was on his arm became permanently bound to him and he could not take it off. Even stranger on some days it would transform into two fighting weapons.
They were two feet long. Both weapons were green and covered in rubies with the exception of the hilts which were flat and smooth so that the wielder could use them.
These blades were quite dangerous and Azure and his parents discovered that they were as hard as diamonds and could cut through the sames things as the average weapons could.
Over time, Azure learned to control the abilities that he had discovered and could use them at will. When he could control his abilities better, his adopted father taught him the art of swordplay and how to fight with his weapons. When he was being taught how to fight with his weapons, his father made him use two steel daggers so that he would not hurt him.
It was at his 16th birthday that his adoptive parents decided to send him to Manga High school so that he could be with kids his own age, and so that he could gain more control of his abilities. Before he left they told him his real last name that was on the coffin(Zalinus), that he was adopted, how they found him, and where they found him. He left with some regret and happiness as he thought of the adventures that awaited him.

EXAMPLE ROLE PLAYING POST:
Anubis looked out the viewport of his mothership and smiled. At the end of the day, he would arrive to earth, and slaughter the humans, and talri, that were meeting on earth. "All that I have to do is crush them and then the galaxy is mine! The Azguard, and the system Lords do not pose that much of a threat to me, I am just making them think that they are! once I wipe out earth my diabolical plan will be complete!" He said with an evil laugh. But I am concerned, will the ancients try to stop me again by using daniel Jackson? Last time they did not let him destroy me. But what if they made an exception this once. Anubis thought with a shiver. But he then smiled. I can't wait to take the ancient weapons that thye posess if they have any at all. *Yawn* although I must say, this diabolical plotting has made me tired. I will go to bed and have one of my commanders alert me when we have reached earth. I must rest because I will most definately need all of my strength for tomorrow. Anubis then retires to his room for the night.
I have finally arrived, now I can begin my conquest on this planet. I will now test them with a small assault team of gliders, and al'kesh bombers. IF they have any weapons of the Ancients, then this will force them to use them. Anubis said with a smile. He then sent out said forces and waited for a retaliation from the humans.

To begin with, you need to work on his appearance. It needs to be more detailed; describe things like his height, or build.
Secondly, do you know what kind of physical toll training with weapons five hours a day has on the human body? I'm a martial artist, so I know from experience that VERY few people have what it takes to do that, especially not people who are reclusive and read a lot. You're trying to create a character here who is both a bookworm/intellect type and a warrior. I'm assuming, after reading the whole application, that what you have written for your sample RP post is supposed to be a description of his class. In MHS, your character can be a hardcore warrior or a skilled intellectual spellcaster type, but if you want a hybrid you need to tone it down. He needs less training and less of the whole reclusive bookworm thing.
Next, diamonds are not sharp. You can theoretically sharpen them, but sharpness is generally not a quality associated with diamonds; you're looking for hardness.
Also, where do the extra blades on his weapon branch out from? Exactly how long is the weapon ("half of a normal person's arm" is a VERY inexact measurement) in inches/centimeters? Is it single, or double-bladed? Curved or straight? Put some details, man!
Since your character's adoptive parents found him in Japan, I assume they are Japanese. "Zalinus" is NOT a Japanese name.
I also find it quite odd that your character is wearing the EXACT same clothes he wore at the age of ten. People generally outgrow clothes over time...
What happened to him before the age of ten? Where did he come from? If he's human, how did he end up in a weird coffin in a meteor shower? The history is full of holes; please patch it up before your application sinks.
Lastly, your sample RP post is NOT an RP post. From what I see, it appears to be a player-created RuneScape class. Now, while I won't say anything about you playing RuneScape, I will say that that is NOT what we are looking for.

There is a state that a martial artist can reach, a state where he ceases to be an individual person, but instead becomes a living, breathing representation of his art. This state of perfection is called Shin no Mushin. It is my only goal.
Re: Azure Zalinus
To begin, there are loads of spelling and grammar errors in your application, I'd like for you to patch those up, please. Some of them make your application difficult to follow. I'd also prefer for you to add a bit more detail to your appearance; it's rather short and clothing-focused. And what does "well built" mean? There are a lot of physical builds I'd consider well built, but they don't all look the same.
Secondly, twenty feet is hardly a dagger. The zanbato, one of the biggest swords in the world, is only eight to nine feet at most. You'll need to make it MUCH smaller. Less than a foot, actually. Secondly, you should keep the extra blades off the weapon for now; you can add them later on as an upgrade.
About the coffin he can summon: you say that he can put people inside it to heal/store them; this would be considered another power, so you can't have it yet.

Re: Azure Zalinus
Hey flojo,thank you for helping me with my chracter and all but... I have some things to say.
1. I said the bracelet can STORE the coffin meaning yeah, I know that he can't use it yet. I have even stated in the history that is just the power given to him. I also beleieve I said that because of who he got his powers from, that he would only have the bracelet and their ability to activate the dagger thing as all he would have for now.
2. Also, I got the idea for the daggers from dothack G.U. if you go to youtube.com and look for the movie titled "Tri-edge" you will see him use the original weapons. Then you will see that it is not possible for that to be an upgrade. If you have any question about it please respond here, or e-mail me on here. Maybe we can work out a compromise, like maybe a downside or something.
Re: Azure Zalinus
I am very sorry if I seemed offensive with the things i had to say in the post above this one. I just thought they were some things that I should point out.
Also, I have made the changes that you requested, Once again, it is ready for you to check when you have the time.
Re: Azure Zalinus
While I do understand where you're coming from with this, the reason you need to upgrade it later is that weapons are like powers: they aren't very good or advanced when you first get them, and must be upgraded later.
Secondly, seven feet long is a MASSIVE sword, not a dagger, so please change it to say sword, or cut down on size. I think that having two swords of such massive size would be overpowered, especially if they're made of a super-hard, super-light element like adamantite.
If you wanted, say, just one adamantite dagger/sword, that would be okay, or two dagger/swords made of normal steel or something like that, I'd okay it too, but the extra blades are too much. Part of playing the game is that your character's powers and equipment grow over time; if you start out with your dream weapons that takes a lot of the development aspect out of it. It'll take some time to get your gear the way you want it.

Re: Azure Zalinus
Ok, I see you point. So all that I have to do is change the wepons and make them say two feet long and , and just add the other blades by him having them as an upgrade? Oh I got it how bout I just put in the application that he can't use all three and that for now the other blades just can;t be used by him right now. Would that work. Could I still keep the bracelet, and their power to make the daggers appear if i make above said changes to the weapons? I need you response on this when you have time so that I know what to do. This way, i won't screw up again.
Re: Azure Zalinus
That would be acceptable, as long as you take off the part about being able to cut through almost anything and just make them as sharp as normal swords. If you want them super-sharp you'll need to upgrade later for that.

Re: Azure Zalinus
alright then. I will make the changes tonight. Also, if you have the time, go to youtube.com and watch that tri-edge video I suggested, It is pretty cool. So is that the only change i have to make? if not, please tell me what must be changed next grading(of application).

Re: Azure Zalinus
Ok, now that the whole mess is cleaned up, can i still get this character approved or do i have to start over. This character took me a long time. So if I could could i just use this one and get it accepted?
Re: Azure Zalinus
You can still use this application; the only times applications are outright rejected is if it's a severe infraction of character creation rules, i.e. if we were to find out this character was ripped off from somewhere else.
First off, be more detailed in your personality. It basically just lists what your character does in his free time. While that's a part of it, there's a lot more to his personality. What annoys him? What religion (if any) is he? What values does he believe in? Does he make new friends easily? What, basically, motivates your character? These are things you'll need for a good, playable character.
Next, remove the part about the extra five foot blades from the weapon altogether. You don't add that part until you get the upgrade. Also, I don't think adamantite blades will be accepted; you'll probably need to make steel ones for now and just upgrade them later, although that's up to the admin.
You also need to edit your history, it still lists the length of the blades incorrectly and still has the part about the extra blades that branch out.
Fix these things, and I'll look over it again, and it should be good to go.

Re: Azure Zalinus
Okay, you can go ahead and begin roleplaying, just remember not to use any powers/weapons until an admin approves them.

Re: Azure Zalinus
Alright thanks. Just out of curiosity, when would an admin approve them, and can I use my thread with eddy that I started or do we have to start over?
Re: Azure Zalinus
You can use the thread that's already there, if you like.
As for the power approval, it'll happen when it happens. I can't tell you for sure how long it might be. The admins have been busy lately due to the holidays, so I wouldn't be surprised if you'll have to wait until past New Year's Day. Just be patient.
