Eh, I was considering making the combat freeform, but there's gotta be at least some stats so that someone who is new isn't as powerful as someone who has been playing for months.

I mean, freeform can work perfectly when the opponent is the DM, but what happens when players face eachother, which will happen frequently?


A Massacre, Hakker. A Massacre ;)

... The good kind or the bad kind?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd love to switch to freeform entirely, that means I don't have to worry about the fights at all, but it makes to playing field a bit too even, unless I invent some sort of other reward scheme that gives longtime players who achieve a lot for their faction a bonus...

Massive overhaul of quite a few things. In the process of making the battle system fully freeform, and released a bio template.

Now accepting bios, as well.

Posting first so the other profiles look a lot better.


Name : Alex Barton

Gender : Male

Age : 16

Faction
: Castle Knights

Personality : He's certainly passionate about being a castle knight, and as such, is very excited to go into battle. He's hot-blooded, and is determined on whatever he does, no matter how trivial it is. His fast pace, aggression, slight disregard for any authority, and cheerful personality can bring new life to whomever he's accompanying. Or irritate them to the point of “Friendly Fire”.

Although there is a reason for this, often being called “girly” from childhood, he's become insecure about himself, and keeps it mostly bottled up all to himself. However, upon hearing a comment about this trait, he'll go into a blind rage (unless you're a cute girl, then he'll just shyly and/or politely dissuade you from calling him that). It doesn't help he has hobbies such as cooking.

Appearance : Of course, he has a feminine figure (and is shorter than most men), and has long, chestnut coloured hair that's fashioned into a ponytail. His brown eyes are often hidden behind round-ish goggles, for eye protection. He wears a dark green long sleeve (a gift from his guardian), under a black vest that has both multiple pockets (two on the side, four in), and is tight around the waist. The long sleeve itself is longer at the lower hem all the way to just below the crotch, and can give off the impression that Alex is wearing a skirt over his brown cargo pants. As for footwear, he has simple brown boots.

Bio : Like what the above had said, Alex has been often mocked about his appearance, causing him to double his efforts in whatever he does, including fighting anyone insulting him. While not very strong in close quarters, he found that peppering his targets with a slingshot made the inevitable punching a lot more easier, and everyone moved a bit farther when he was able to upgrade to a rifle.

He eventually (with his Guardian's permission; she knew he wouldn't stop asking, maybe even running away) joined the Castle Knights when he was of age. Keep in mind that he didn't join to rid the universe of the Organization, or some deep reason like revenge; He simply wants to prove himself as a man.

Weapon of choice : Scopeless Bolt-Action Rifle, 8 rounds (1 if that seems too much), can't be reloaded until after a battle (or a break). It also has a bayonet for melee, and even without that, it's still basically a wooden club.


Eh, I can't be arsed to find my mistakes.

A rifle, huh? Could be interesting. Added to the bio list.

My bio depends on what everyone else chooses if everyone decides to be a castle knight I'll go nobody or the other way around.

Don't worry about completely balancing the teams out, I'll inject some additional characters into the weaker side if it seems that there will be an imbalance.

Name : Peter Cornell (Since this isn't the original orginization, it would be a bit silly to add an X.)
Gender : Male
Age :63
Faction : Organization
Personality : Very cranky and sarcastic, But never too busy to dispense some wisdom. Although nobodies are stereotyped as emotion-free, that is certainly not the case for this quick-tempered old geezer. Hates teenage boys.
Appearance : Peter's meek appearance hides his true furiousity and power. He stands at about 70 inches, and his light frame gives him a loping, lanky gait. His face is very wrinkled, with a hooked nose, thin lips, a bony jaw, and staring green eyes. A thinning circle of grey hair lines the edges of his scalp. His black eyebrows are spread widely on his forehead, so he always appears to be staring ahead at nothing.
Bio : Pete was the son of an old train conductor for the Twilight Town public trainsportation, and his mother died from a rare disease when he was a toddler. As one might expect from a conductor, Peter's father had a huge interest in trains, which he eagerly shared with his son. As a result, Pete developed the same interest from a very young age. The two remained very close, even when Pete dropped out of high school during the last semester of senior year. He couldn't achieve his dream of becoming a conductor without a decent education, so he went with the closest thing: a dining car waiter.
When his father finally died of old age, he was devastated. But he made a promise to himself to save up money for one final train ride. It was difficult, but Peter managed to scroung up enough money for the trip to his father's hometown, just in time for his 100th birthday. However, a pickpocket snagged his ticket just as he was about to board the train. When Pete got to the ticket check, he was crushed. The train was to leave in minutes, and he had no money for another ticket.
Suddenly, he remembered seeing a teenage boy rubbing against him, then dashing away. The man put two in two together, and searched the line for the boy. As he looked, he felt a rabid anger building up inside him. By the time he found the boy, he was no longer Peter. He grasped the boy's face, and took great pleasure in the terror and pain in the boys eyes as he ripped him to shreds for destroying his dream.
The Twilight Town authorities managed to kill his heartless, but the nobody escaped. Now that nobody has taken up the name of Peter, joining the orginization forces simply to get revenge on the society that brought him to this point.

Weapon of choice : Pete's weapon, Steel Horse, is a small scepter-like object shaped like, you guessed it, a train whistle. The whistle tip is very hard and blunt, making it excellent for swatting heartless, annoying flies, and those damn teenagers who won't leave his lawn alone. It is much more proficient at magic, however. The many spells up the old man's sleeve are cast from the same tip he so loves to smack things with.
It was created from his warm memories of his childhood, and keeps him sane when times are foul.

Definately not my best, but I'm not gonna write up a damn novel about a man who shouldn't even have feelings. Besides, my computer is driving me insane.

Location: being a genius Gender: little girl
Country: Japan (jp)
Gender: Anime Girl
Name : Else S. Roselus

Gender : Male

Age : Death at 29

Faction : Organization

Personality
: Else is very polite and kind to the extent a Nobody can be; yet, there is no threatening undertone in his voice, or even a trace of malicious intent. Anyone could easily mistake him for a human. His major weakness is being under pressure, which is the only drive for him to attack anyone. Without another Organization member to force him, he will refuse to fight and even let others "kill" him. Serious stuff aside, he's incredibly shy and awkward towards pretty girls.

Appearance : With an average height of 5'10", and a slightly low weight, Else would be practically unnoticeable without his other features. He has medium length black hair which is equally long on each side. His face usually carries a stupidly happy expression, but his eyes are dull dark green, and his mouth has a hint of a frown up-close. Having barely enough muscles to keep him from being a stick figure, he couldn't intimidate a fly, but he is still surprisingly strong since muscle mass does not determine strength. Underneath his black sweater is a plain white shirt, and below that are black dress pants and black dress shoes.

Bio : Else was almost pure during his life, but the fraction in his heart that inevitably exists questioned his misfortune; it was the only thing allowing him to become a Nobody. He grew up helping others while creating misunderstandings for himself. Piling misunderstandings only made people avoid him, but he didn't notice; anyone who tried to befriend him was ridiculed to the point where they cut off all contact with him. Growing up almost ignorant of anything was the worst thing that could have happened. He died a nobody from sudden cardiac death, and his parents followed soon after. With no reason to join the war, pressure and threats had forced him into it. He only waits for others to kill him, and when he is permanently dead, his soul will be at rest.

Weapon of choice : Forced onto him by his superiors in the Organization is a crooked scythe. The blade is at an angle, making the weapon have a huge reach. The handle looks like a branch right off of a tree, with rough edges and barely taking the shape of a pole to hold the blade, but it looks less makeshift since it is a solid teal color and wrapped in gauze where one would hold it. Despite the tiny effort put into making it, Else refuses to use it on anything except Heartless anyway. If he is forced to fight humans, he will miss on purpose or attack ineffectively.

Hm. Seems that you changed it to freeform. Anda is pleased.

Name: Aaron Turner
Gender: Male
Age: Thirty-four
Faction: Castle Knights

Personality: Aaron is so serious it almost hurts. Almost. Now, if you look at appearance you might realize that he's very muscualar, and in video games and the like muscles tend to not go with brains. Not in Aaron's case. He is a great stratigest, and knows what to say at the right times. Aaron believes in justice, and will do anything to follow that path. Being a follower of justice he WILL fight, and kill, Heartless and Nobodies without remorse. Usually. Because, despite that serious look he has on his face all the time, he DOES have emotions, and though it is very hard, you CAN make him sad. Or angry. Your pick.

Appearance: Aaron is wearing a full suit of steel, gray armor most of the time, taking his helmet off only to eat, drink, and other such things, and the full suit off only to sleep. The helmet is one of the squarish ones that I don't know the name of. Aaron is very tall and muscular, almost making others think of him as a giant (not the ones forty feet tall, of course. I'm thinking more along the lines of nine...). Underneath his body helmet Aaron has short black hair and a mustache beard combo, and a thin scar going vertically across his left eye.

Bio: Aaron is a quite boring person. He was always picked on for his size, but he didn't care, and eventually the people teasing him stopped caring too. His father told him about the Heartless and the Nobodies, and has been taught that they aren't exactly the nicest people. So when the war started he decided to help. The end. What? I told you he was boring, didn't I?

Weapon of choice: A long, double-edged steel sword, and a large circular shield of also-steelness. The sword is quite heavy as is the shield, but it quite helps him kill things better.

Personality and Bio: Kate is an easygoing person, and gentle towards people. Although sometimes kind-hearted,
she tends to have anger issues and its a bit of a tomboy.. She isnt that atletical to the point she isnt a computer/videogame user. She has many friends, but she parts her way when she enters “Castle Knights”. She is a well rounded fighter, which helps her in this case. Not a boring person, she is usually found reading a book to learn more. When talking about boys, she doesnt say anything due to her boyfriend dumping her. She LOVES the color blue.

Appearance: Kate usually sports blue sunglasses, although she changes them depending on her mood. She sports a blue sunhat, and underneath is honey-colored hair. Her clothing is a steel blue tuxedo with a red rose. Weirdly, she sports blue shoes to complement her eyes (which are blue).She has a birthmark on her right ear.

Weapon of choice: She utilizes various instruments, like a tennis racket and a bat. She alsos uses a flame-inducing flute.

Sayo, Kitten, Panda, you're in.

Try to make yours a bit more... Finished, though, Panda. Things like "I told you he was boring" and " I don't know the name of the helmet" aren't exactly fitting to describe a character.

This... Needs some work.

For starters, a bio.
