Okay so I jumped the gun a bit on this one. Though, not really because it's after midnight. I was waiting to start posting character bios for this RP until Monday, a decision that I made after seeing that there's already a greater show of interest than I had imagined; which is awesome, thanks guys ^^
So here's the basic layout, feel free to post your character layouts here for both your Meisters and their weapon partners because everyone here will be RPing as two characters at the very least; since a Meister and weapon pair is the basic concept behind the series and I'd like to see everyone with personalities ;P
Here's the layout: accompanied by my character bios, naturally. After this we'll be working on the plot, and I decided to get everyone's input on what should happen, yay! Also, I'm usually against naming my character's abilities, but in keeping with the spirit of the show, I actually named the Soul Resonance of my charries. You don't have to if you don't want to, but I think it helps it feel more authentic to keep with the shows style.
Name: Andrew Troupe
Role: Meister
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Musculature: average
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Hazel
Clothing: Andrew dresses casually when not in school, wearing a short sleeved shirt that varies daily and jeans in varying degrees of wear, along with casual tennis shoes. When in school he dresses for success, wearing black slacks and a white shirt and a black skinny tie with black formal shoes. When on missions he adds a black vest with silver pinstripes and a long black coat and replaces the formal shoes with durable boots.
Personality: Andrew is arrogant on the surface, having complete confidence in his abilities in combat. He doesn't ever talk himself up, or even talk down to his opponents; he feels he doesn't need to do so. Despite the fact that he's only a one-star meister, he believes that he has the skill to take on three-star missions, though the DWMA has never allowed him to do so. He's always looking out for the students weaker than himself, but tries to maintain a guise of indifference. When faced by an opponent stronger than himself, he begins to doubt his abilities, losing the false confidence that he hides behind and revealing the insecure fighter beneath. But he vows to follow every fight to the end, no matter the results.
History: Andrew was raised in the DWMA, showing great prowess as a Meister early on in his life. The son of one of the DWMA's professors, he was always expected to live up to the level of his father, and fears that he won't be able to keep everyone from becoming disappointed at his lack of skill. However, he suffers a lack of confidence, not of skill, and constantly tries to fight through his doubts to become stronger.
Name: Michael Rapport
Role: Andrew's weapon partner
Weapon Form: Sword Gauntlet
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 195 lbs.
Musculature: Well toned, but not large.
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Blue
Clothing: Michael is always dressed respectably. He wears black slacks and black and white checkerboard, leather shoes. He's always wearing a white shirt decorated with golden designs and a white hoodie jacket with a golden cross on the back. He has a piercing in each ear, a golden sword in his left and a small white glove design in his right. He's also got a golden stud pierced in his left eyebrow.
Personality: Michael is essentially the polar opposite of Andrew in terms of confidence. He's got complete confidence in himself, and it isn't a falsehood that he tries to maintain. It's how they resonate so well together; they balance each other out. Michael views himself as a Holy Knight, and maintains a noble sense of justice and chivalry at all times; vowing never to inflict harm on another just soul. He tries to avoid fighting women without good cause, and has several times refused to combat a witch because of this fact. If they can be proven as truly evil souls, he will battle them in the name of greater good.
History: Michael was raised in a family of "Holy Weapons" having a family history rich with tales of fighting alongside great peacekeepers and kings. Growing up he was taught to always uphold the ways of the righteous and just, and has inherited his family's ability to use a burst of light energy when resonating with a strong, just Meister.
Andrew and Michael Soul Resonance: Eternal Spire - The gauntlet grows and encases Andrew's entire arm, the blade widens and lengthens while sprouting several smaller blades. Anything that gets stabbed and impaled by the blade is rocked by a shockwave of light energy.
Name: Tricia Ravenfield
Role: Meister
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 130 lbs.
Musculature: average
Hair Color: Silver
Eye Color: Green
Clothing: Tricia wears a violet plaid skirt with knee high combat boots, a black blouse beneath a black hoodie, which is beneath a knee-length coat.
Personality: Cold and efficient, Tricia doesn't listen to anyone but the teachers and Lord Death. She believes herself to be superior than her peers, and as such doesn't have many friends. Her attitude has been known to cause tension between herself and others, rarely resulting in a duel. Underneath her steeled surface is a loyal friend, but she doesn't know how to express herself, so she often appears distant; even to the select few who've broken through her shell.
History: Tricia's parents were never truly there for her, they often left her with the servants when they were out on missions. They couldn't really help matters, being prominent Meisters within the DWMA, but Tricia grew up alone. The servants tried their best to seem warm and inviting, and her nanny, Rachel, was always loving and kind; but it couldn't replace her parents' love, nor could it erase her feelings of rejection. As such, she is afraid of feeling that pain again, and will detach herself from others as a preemptive strike.
Names: Isabella and Ishmael Orwell
Role: Tricia's weapon partners
Weapon Form: Matching War Fans
Gender: Female and Male, respectively
Age: 14 (twins)
Height: Isabella - 5'4" Ishmael - 6'
Weight: Isabella - 120 lbs. Ishmael - 205 lbs.
Musculature: Isabella - average Ishmael - above average/well-toned
Hair Color: Chestnut Brown
Eye Color: Yellow-brown
Clothing: Isabella dresses in an array of brightly colored tops and jeans with low-top shoes and a trilby hat. Ishmael wears a short sleeved button-up shirt and black slacks, black skate-shoes and black rimmed glasses - he's a bit of the school nerd.
Personality: Isabella is warm and inviting, a good balance for Tricia and partially responsible for the trio's initial team up. Isabella almost always wears a smile and likes to get involved in other people's business if she feels she can help. A bit nosy and just slightly a know-it-all when it comes to emotions. Ishmael is warm like his sister, but carries a much more serious air than she does, particularly about school. He is almost always carrying a book around with him, and his is really well reserved in conversation. He's got a complex view of people, seeing them as complex equation that needs solving, but still friendly. His knack for wanting to understand everything leads him to a bit of trouble at times.
History: The twins were raised in a loving family and trained to join the DWMA since the day they were born. They can fight effectively without a Meister, but are more deadly when wielded by a strong willed individual. Tricia became their Meister after Isabella imposed herself on Tricia's lonely lunchtime ceremony.
Tricia, Isabella and Ishmael Soul Resonance: Severing Gale - The twins shape changes into two halves of what looks like a propeller, Tricia then begins to spin them in unison to create strong winds that are capable of cutting through an enemies flesh. When facing a single enemy, Tricia can use the Severing Gale: Reverse Rotation and draw them inward, using the war fans like a blender's blade.
PHEW! That was a crapload of writing, but it's done. Anyway, feel free to copy that there format up there and start posting your own character bios. If you've got any ideas for a plot, feel free to jot those down as well, I'll write what I've got once I put more thought into it. Ready - set - go!
