[Jeffrey The Emolga]

2. if they are aloud please tell me how to sign up...

[storymasterb]

No, this is not a Pokemon RPG, this is a Persona RPG. Pokemon are not allowed.

Also, all the Arcana are taken, so you can't sign-up anyway.

[Jeffrey The Emolga]

oh... OK... lol...

[TheSequelReturns]

Got it done. I had most of it lying around unused, so it didn't take me that long to spruce it up and get it good to go. ^^

Name: Rochelle "Elly" Wattson

Age: 12

Gender: Female

Arcana: Justice

Appearance: Elly is a rather unique little girl. Her chestnut brown hair is ridiculously long, as though it had never once been cut (it hasn't) and it extends most of the way down her back. She generally has it tied back into two long twin tails. Her skin is just lightly tanned, and as one would expect from a hyper little girl her figure is thin and wiry. She is a bit tall for her age, and often looks a bit older than she really is. Her eyes are a bright and cheerful green, and she is almost never without a smile on her face.

Her choice of attire is, oddly enough, what appears to be a girl scout's uniform. The outfit is extremely dated (it was her grandmother's) but otherwise, in remarkably good condition. Its a tan shirt and shorts combo that gives an instant impression of camping, s'mores, and a wagon-full of tasty cookies. A bright red handkerchief is tied around her neck, and she wears a matching bright red cardigan (complete with hood) whenever its potentially rainy or for late night adventures. A series of "merit badges" (homemade) are pinned to her shirt. A simple pair of loafers completes her attire.

Personality: Elly is the self-proclaimed one and only girl scout of Misty Springs. With so few kids around, and even fewer her own age, Elly took it upon herself to have fun with the older residents of the town. Wither its giving out cookies, opening doors, carrying a bag for someone, or some other such nicety, Elly is usually around to offer a helping hand to whoever she finds to be in need. Sadly, her definition of "in need" applies to pretty much everyone she comes across. And her attempts to help can often do just the opposite (She is 12). But, whenever things do happen to turn out that way, she will make every effort to fix it. Which... can occasionally make things even worse. Still, her failures never manage to deter her, and day after day she goes about her special brand of community service.

As "the one and only girl scout of Misty Springs", Elly has quite the reputation around town. And she runs with it. Most of the older residents know her by now, and she knows them. She knows that the old lady on the corner of 2nd street loves having someone help her weed her garden. She knows that the stray cat that hangs around the high school always likes a scratch under the chin and a piece of fish. And she knows which homes usually like which kinds of cookies. And when you know things like that, what do names really matter?

Speaking of which, Elly is not good with names. There's a reason she doesn't call herself Rochelle, she can't remember it. She gave herself the "Elly" moniker, a nickname most people know her by. This goes for others as well. If you can actually get her to start using your name, expect her to cut it short somehow. And not always in the appropriate way.

Elly doesn't spend a lot of time with other kids, mostly due to there not being many of them in Misty Springs, and her time spent with the older residents of the town have matured her quite a bit more than most girls her age. She might not always act like a big girl, but she still has a respectful, courteous side. She always remembers her manners and treats others politely. She's not usually one to whine about things either.

History: Rochelle's mother left her father for another man when she was just a year or two old. As a result, she never really knew her. Her father had a very small family, and work kept him overseas quite often. When Elly's mother left, he simply didn't have the means to take care of her properly. Thankfully, his mother was understanding and so Elly came to stay with her grandmother in Misty Springs. Her grandfather had since passed away, and so it was only the two of them in the house except for those rare occasions when her dad could be home to visit for a week or two. Her grandmother was grateful for the company, and Elly had quite the pleasant childhood in the quiet little town.

Growing up without any other kids her age was a bit tough for her at first. Her grandmother would play with her, but she simply didn't have the energy to keep up with the little girl. Elly would spend her days in a world of imagination, exploring some mysterious cavern (the basement), a magical rainforest (the woods), or some other such place. And then one day, she came across an old box in her grandmother's basement.

It was from when she was a little girl, right around Elly's age. She had been a Girl Scout, back when Misty Springs still had enough kids around for that kind of thing. Elly dove into the box, pulling out pictures, and scrapbooks, and journals, until she got to the uniform. A grin on her face, she tried it on and was delighted to see that it fit. It was still a bit lose, but she could grow into it! It was perfect.

With a mile wide grin, she dashed upstairs to show her grandmother, and the rest is a little piece of Misty Springs history. As her grandmother would tell her stories of her scout-hood days, Elly would get inspired and set off on some project or another. She even got her grandmother to help her start making cookies again from the old recipies. And thus, Misty Springs found itself with a resident Girl Scout without a scout master. And with summer just starting, Elly's summer time projects are just about to kick into overdrive.

Weapon: Elly's weapon is, quite frankly, a large mallet. It doesn't seem to be made of metal, but something slightly softer. Reguardless, the huge hammer is over half as big as she is, yet in the realm of Avalon she has no difficulty handling the ridiculous weapon. The handle is a cheerful sunshine yellow, tipped with a star shaped charm, and the head is white with red trim.

Persona Sign-Up:

Name: Angel

Source: Judeo-Christian. The first order of Angels, known as "the watchers who never sleep". The Guardian Angels are among their number.

Appearance: (Basically, Angel retains her P3 appearance.) Angel takes the form of a beautiful, but modestly built young woman. She has long blond hair, skin like porcelain, and an almost delicate looking figure. Beautiful snowy white wings emerge from her back, each nearly as long as she is tall. A black silken blindfold is wrapped around her face, a white eye-like pattern on the front center. The tails of the blindfold extend all the way down to her feet. Her only attire is made of the same black silk as the blindfold. A choker wraps around her neck, a long chain trailing off of it. The chain is nearly as long as she is tall. Thin ribbons of black silk wrap around her form, one across her chest, one above her waist, and several more wrapped around her hips and thighs, almost like a pair of shorts. Another ribbon extends down her front, from the collar around her neck, across the other two strips, and over the bottom ones, where it wraps around and continues up her back where it returns to her collar. She is barefoot, and wears no other accessories.

Powers: Angel has a variety of skills, none too overtly powerful in their own right, but she is able to adapt to almost any situation. Angel has rudimentary wind magic, able to attack with weak but wide hitting attacks. Her stronger offensive powers are light magics, strong but often single-target. Angel is also capable of defensive skills, either boosting allies abilities or blocking specific types of attacks. Though she has a variety of skills, Angel's abilities are often focused on a single individual, with her wind magic being her only multi-target abilities. Angel will eventually become versed in some essential healing spells, though at the start of the RP they are unavailable to her.

[extremegunner]

Aw man, Tower is taken.

[storymasterb]

Elly is Accepted. As for the age thing, it's generally fine, I'd say.

[Monster Guy]

Name: Lillian "Lilly" Silverstone
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Arcana: The Heirophant

Appearance: Lilly stands at about 5'6", about average height for her age. She has a slender frame, and her figure could be described as "boyish", lacking feminine curves. Like her brother, her skin is lightly tanned from living in the tropics for most of her life. Also like her brother, her eyes are large, and a light shade of blue; a trait that seems to run in the family. Her straight black hair normally falls to her shoulders, with bangs that go to her eyebrows that she normally keeps combed to the side. She usually has her hair tied up in a ponytail so it is not in the way.

For clothing, Lilly wears what is comfortable and appropriate for the situation. Her wardrobe mostly consists of loose fitting T-shirts, jeans, and sneakers. Although she doesn't have too many dresses, she doesn't really have a problem with wearing one. Although her ears are pierced, She doesn't wear earrings, or own much Jewelry at all for that matter, as she often finds it just gets in the way. She is nearsighted, so she wears a pair of frameless glasses, which she likes because she thinks they make her look professional. She also carries a red backpack to keep her items in.

Personality: Lilly is an intelligent and resourceful girl. She likes coming up with plans, and watching those plans succeed. Careful and calculating, she always thinks her actions carefully, because she doesn't like taking unnecessary risks, and doesn't understand why some others don't do the same. She always follows the rules, and has a respect for authority, as breaking the rules would just be taking another unnecessary risk, and be completely counterproductive to your goal if you get into trouble. She also encourages other people to follow the rules, and is not afraid to report someone (Anonymously) if she catches someone breaking them.

For all of her intelligence, she's not really much of a people person, and she doesn't have many friends in Misty Springs. It's not that averse to the idea of making friends and is a complete loner, as she's actually quite talkative and opinionated around people she knows very well. It's just that she's not like her brother in that regard, and approaching people is difficult. So, she just got used to being alone. If one is patient with her though, she can be a good friend to have.

She has a dry sarcastic sense of humor, and often makes sarcastic comments about things when the opportunity arises, though this can sometimes make her seem cruel to others. She is also very stubborn, often believing her opinions are the right ones. She can be judgemental at times, but even though a lot of things annoy her, she still tries to keep a calm demeanor, as having an outburst is just asking for trouble.

History: (Most of her history is the same as Leo's, so I'll just summarize it.) Lilly was born and raised in Miami, Florida. She was the middle child of three siblings. Her parents divorced when she was young, which upset her a lot. She was left her with her mother, her younger sister Lucy, and older brother Leo. Being the middle child, she often felt neglected because Leo got all the responsibilities due to being the oldest, and Lucy got most of the attention for being the youngest. Over the years, she simply ignored this feeling, and just learned to cope. She developed an interest in reading at an early age, and she could often be seen with a book. As a result, when she started school, she found herself doing well without having to try very hard. She even managed to skip a grade.

She didn't have a lot of friends, but she did have a small group of kids her age who she shared a common interest with and would sit together at the cafeteria during lunch time, that she enjoyed being with. Things were going well for her, until her mother announced they were moving to Misty Springs. She wasn't happy about this decision, but there wasn't much she could do about it. In Misty Springs, she didn't really speak to that many people. While she wasn't bullied, she was pretty much an outcast. Because her brother was a social butterfly, she's mostly known as being Leo's sister by most of the other students. A reputation she hates.

However, she eventually found somewhere she could fit in. When she was old enough to go on the internet, she discovered text based roleplaying games, and found herself enjoying them, and being accepted by the forum. She often spends hours on the computer typing up posts for various RPG's, (when her homeworks done, of course,) and uses it to take a break from the troubles of her everyday life. She even managed to become a moderator on one forum she frequents, and many trolls have gotten banned under her modship. Her internet friends are currently the only real friends she has.

Weapon: In Avalon, Lilly's weapon is a Chakram. A Circular weapon with a sharp outter edge. It is primarilly used as a throwing weapon, but it can also be used in close fights during emergenceies.


Persona

Name: Omoikane

Source: Omoikane is a Shinto god of Wisdom and Intelligence. His name means "serving ones thoughts." He was always called upon to "ponder" and give advice to the other deities. He was able to hold many thoughts at once, or combine in one mind, the mental powers of many individuals.

Appearance: In this world, Omoikane takes the form of a giant, floating, disembodied brain with tentacles and eyes. I'm not really sure how to describe it, so here's a link to the wiki page. http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Omoikane

Powers: Omoikane is primarily a status inflictor. He is able to induce various mental conditions (Charm, Confusion, Rage, Fear, etc.) to manipulate his enemies. He can also remove such ailments from his allies. As far as attacking goes, he can make use of those tentacles to grab enemies, and use some physical attacks. He has some access to electric based attacks. He has no elemental strengths or weaknesses.

[storymasterb]

Gah, sorry this reply took so long, I went to go see The Dark Knight Rises and I woke up late and stuff. Haven't checked this thread today until now. Lily is Accepted.

[Ysavvryl]

I'm gonna drop my Emperor reservation, sorry. I'm trying to find time to get everything done; I'll stick with Carina, but not sure when I can get my next post up.

[Niihyl]

I'll reserve Emperor then, if that's permissible. I should have something up within a couple of days...

[Kiruria]

Dammit! I want a spot in this RPG! But it looks like all spots are taken! I have a character who can fit the Emperor slot too... Well, is there any other way I can get into this RPG? Maybe even for the Fool, Judgment, or the World? Or a spot as a teacher or tutor or even a fortune-teller who lives and works near the school and used to attend it (I have a pretty good idea for a character like that, one who is also a scholar of the legends of Avalon)?

All I can say is, I've been looking for a Persona RPG to join that Zincspider didn't make (no offense to Zincspider of course), and I just don't check the signup forum often enough to have noticed this one while all the spots were open. Any other opportunities I might have to make it into here would be great.

[storymasterb]

Niihyl: Reservation Accepted. It expires on the 28th.

Kiruria: Well, I already have things planned for Fool, Judgment and World. The issue is basically that all the character slots are taken, and I don't plan to make more because as far as people involved in the Avalon side of things go, I've basically mapped out everyone. So yeah. Sorry, there's just nothing I can really think of which wouldn't jar with the plan I have.

[Kiruria]

*sigh* Well, then I guess I'll just wait around and see if anyone drops out... When someone does, maybe I'll take their spot.

[Niihyl]

I'm almost certainly not going to make the deadline which is... right now? I got caught up in things, and never really got to work on a sign-up. I'm sorry I took up a week of your time...

[Kiruria]

Okay, then I'll reserve the Emperor... Not really the Arcana I wanted (especially since my character and Persona both have to be male--I might have to resort to a character I'm already using in a Persona RPG now), but maybe I can come up with something...

[storymasterb]

Reservation Accepted. IT expires on the 7th of September.

[Kiruria]

Here's my signup! I'm trying out a sort of character that's almost nothing like the characters I usually play, for a bit of a challenge. Somebody who will probably have serious problems awakening his Persona and getting used to Shadows and such. Kind of different from the other characters so far, but if he won't fit the RPG, just let me know and I can think of something else.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Name: Shin Megami Tensei
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Arcana: Emperor

Appearance: Due in part to his Japanese ethnicity, Shin falls a bit short of average height, standing at about 5'7". But to make up for it, he keeps a well-maintained appearance. There are very few blemishes, scars, or other abnormalities on his light tan complexion. If there are any, he meticulously hides them with cover makeup. It truly seems to be his goal to stand apart from his classmates; he sees this as one of his ways of exerting superiority to them. It is partially for this reason why he added a few bright red streaks to his otherwise-uninteresting black hair. His hair is as straight as it can be, and is just barely long enough to cover his ears and the back of his neck. And to add flair to his uninteresting brown eyes, he likes to don a pair of sunglasses with tiny, round, red-tinted frames. And with the help of the clothes he prefers to wear, he gives his otherwise very average build a slender-ish look. To the point where people pay much more attention to his outfit and his facial expressions (especially the latter) when they see him.

Indeed, his face often tells everything. Behind those little bitty sunglasses, his eyes are narrow and apathetic-looking. He never needs to tilt his head upward to create a feel of arrogance; his little nose is already turned slightly upward. His face in general is quite narrow and pentagonal, or perhaps more hexagonal due to the way his hair parts over the middle of his forehead.

The most characteristic article of clothing Shin wears is a classy cobalt-blue coat, long enough to neatly frame his knees. He considers it classier to leave this coat closed rather than open, each and every one of the golden spikes for buttons fastened through a thin golden loop, making a row of golden lines down the front of his torso. He never takes this coat off, even when it's hot outside; in hot weather he will stick to shady areas and complain a lot about the heat. More golden spike-buttons adorn the ends of his sleeves, being the cause of occasional accidents where they get caught on something. For bottomwear, Shin considers jeans far too low-class for his taste, instead donning a pair of simple black trousers that are always kept clean and well-mended. Well-polished black dress shoes cover his feet.

Shin views backpacks similarly to jeans: he's simply too good for them. Instead he keeps his belongings in his pockets, though sometimes he slings a blue and grey laptop bag across his chest. And finally, there's almost always a pen sticking out of the chest pocket on his coat. Not one of those cheap plastic ones; usually one of those dainty compact ones.

Personality: Though his appearance alone suggests Shin as an egotistical rich kid, he isn't outwardly snooty. He's much more jaded in his demeanour, being overall calm in his interactions with people. As is stereotypical of young men like him, he typically shows very little emotion in his speech, aside from mild tones of interest when asking questions. He's also very unlikely to be loud, unless he's angry with someone.

Okay, so Shin doesn't really brag about being so upper-class. He certainly does think it though. Most people think of him as being cynical and condescending, especially in the way he looks at people. And this is true, especially around his classmates. Though he doesn't directly show it, he considers himself much more important than his peers. He sees a two-tiered hierarchy among them, with only him being on the upper tier. For this reason, Shin does not like to associate with silly or petty things high-schoolers typically do, such as gossip and school assemblies and sports and games of hackey-sack. He has his own "more important" things to attend to, such as homework and secret stuff on his laptop. Even during a crisis, he'll just sit back and watch it if it doesn't directly threaten him.

Shin can also be quite manipulative. He vastly prefers being a leader over being a follower among his peers, to the point where he'll rarely listen to other group members' ideas. Once he comes up with a set agenda to follow with a project, he'll stick with it, only changing plans due to his own decisions. Indeed, he lives his own life, not someone else's. He can be very persuasive, aiming to bend his "minions" to his will through fear and/or delusion. Sometimes in a conversation he'll ask quite a few questions about the other person, giving someone the idea that he's interested in them, but in reality he's gathering information that he could potentially use against them later on, or use to get something he wants.

And once Shin wants something, he will relentlessly pursue it, through any means possible. He has no qualms about stepping on people's toes in order to do so, or employing illegal methods. Pursuing vengeance is no exception to this. If someone does something bad to him, he develops an intense desire to do something even worse to them. In other words, he wants to make it perfectly clear to everyone that he will not let anyone walk all over him.

This ties in to a major weakness of Shin's: because of his tendency to mentally distance himself from those he finds inferior, he overlooks many hidden details that could lead to his demise. In his mind he expects to be respected, and thus often fails to recognise any enemies that don't blatantly reveal themselves as such. Add this to his overall realistic outlook on things, and you get someone who's largely vulnerable to hidden supernatural forces. And on a somewhat lesser note, he silently adopts a belief that women are inferior to men, thus avoiding them even more, and becoming more vulnerable when one wants to turn against him. And when he finally does become devastated, he cracks, being almost as hard to put together again as Humpty Dumpty afterward. All the stress he withholds from denying himself access to recreational stuff and most friendhips has to leak out at some point...

Shin isn't all bad though, farfetched though that idea may be. There is one group of people who he has the utmost respect for: his elders. He is a diligent student who respects his teachers' and parents' authority, yet holds his own confidence as well. Being the son of a businessman, he is used to taking a realistic approach to life, and is quite knowledgeable in money matters. He is not easily scared or discouraged, and will try his utmost best to ensure he is in control of the situation. Now if only he could just be nicer to people...

History: The Tensei family is broken up into two narrow lines, one which still lives in Japan, another which immigrated to the US some hundred years ago. The American side consists of higher-and-higher-ranking businessmen from late to recent. Shin's father, for example, was senior vice president of a moderately-known auditing firm, based in a city on the other side of the mountains from where Misty Springs is. The Japanese branch of the family, on the other hand, had ties to organized crime. Shin takes pride in this side of his family, even though he's technically not a direct descendant of it.

As such, Shin's life was pretty much set from the very beginning. When he grew up, as his father kept reminding him, he would follow in his father's footsteps and rise up in that same company, eventually being first in line to replace the aging CEO. And Shin liked this plan. He used to have many fantasies about just how he would run the company, and maybe even use the other branch of the Tensei family's criminal connections to underhandedly rule the world. Indirectly of course. Though his father pointed out the impracticality of being the absolute leader of the world, he did often mention how a powerful-enough businessman could have influences on the world in such a way that it was much like "ruling" it.

There was never really a place for women in Shin's life. He spent so much time focused on his studies that he never really had time to pursue acts of pleasure and recreation. As far as he knew, he couldn't, in order to achieve his goals. Nor was his own mother that much an influence on him. She was a very passive sort of mother, much younger than his father, not having a job besides being a housewife, and never really standing up to Dad if he punished her for not doing a chore. She was kind to Shin, but probably only for the prospect of him making lots of money for her and the family in the future.

In the early parts of his life, Shin attended private schools that were expensive to attend, mainly because his father didn't want him to be dealing with "commonfolk". In these schools, Shin was in fact a little more respectful toward his classmates than he is nowadays--though we'll get to that later. However, he didn't make very many friends, as he would simply refuse many of them for fear they would interfere with his studies. He even once blamed his getting a B on a test on the only birthday party he was ever invited to. Most of his "friends" back then were adults, business partners that his dad invited over for meetings on occasion. He figured that by interacting with them early, he would plant the seed for a positive relationship with the company later on. All part of his lifelong plan.

Then, in the summer just before his senior year of high school, something unexpected happened: his father decided to retire, his reason being that he could collect a lot more money from the various investments he made if he retired now rather than later. And he was getting pretty old anyway. When he retired, he wanted to move to a quiet and peaceful place so that he could be free from the hectic confines of the city and his job. So the family moved to the place where Shin's grandfather lived before he died: a faraway town in the mountains known as Misty Springs. Although Shin was initially frustrated about having to move, his father kept telling him that in his case the move was only temporary, that he could be attending a university back in the city right after graduating from high school. Eventually Shin had to agree. It was only for one year anyway.

One year that was tougher than Shin expected. Because Misty Springs was a small town, it only had one high school, and it was of course a public one. To Shin, that meant having to deal with lots of students who didn't want to be there, being bothered by poorer people who wanted to mooch off of him, being stuck in a facility that relied on state funding and thus was of lower quality than a private school, and a bunch of other stereotypes. Although the school itself was not that bad, Shin still behaved warily among the other students, definitely feeling like the outsider he was. But he would not let himself be the underdog of the school. Inevitably, there was the occasional bully who taunted him, saying he should "go back home where he belongs". Other kids tried to steal his stuff, pester him into hooking up with a girl, etc. Many did nothing to him at all--but Shin still looked down upon them, determined to just lay low and focus on his studies. To the people who did do bad things to him, he had a habit of stalking them, giving them a cold glare, or even stealing things from them if the opportunity arose. These things occasionally got him into trouble with the school authorities.

Shin blames his few suspensions from the school for the two B's and a C he received on his final report card, but still hopes that he'll be accepted into the university he is to attend after graduation. Currently he plans to pursue a business degree, because that's what's needed to go after that high-ranking spot in his father's company. That was still on, right...? Right? Nowadays his father seemed less and less certain about it when he mentioned it...

Weapon: Shin's signature weapon is the crossbow. He wields a small one, just slightly shorter than his forearm, painted black all over. It has a handle on the underside, making it easy for Shin to grasp it and have the rest of the bow rest atop his forearm. In the front is a ring just wide enough for an arrow to go through; Shin uses this to better aim at a target. Usually the quiver of arrows he keeps with it is held close to the bow itself, usually slung over his elbow, for easy access.

--Shin's Persona--

Name: Rokuten Maoh (also called Tenmaou for short, or Demon King)

Origin: Hailing from Japanese Buddhist mythology, Rokuten Maoh's name means "Demon King of the Sixth Heaven". He is associated with a lust for power and a desire for world domination, as well as the turning away from religion and heading toward more business-related endeavours. He commands a great legion of lesser demons, sort of acting as a lord of the underworld.

Appearance: This incarnation of the Demon King looks slightly different from his mythological depictions. He still looks like a rather large humanoid though, towering over Shin at a height of about seven feet. His hair is black like Shin's and even straighter, except rather than just fall down, it poofs out in places, especially on the top, giving it an almost spiky feel. Over his nearly-white face he wears a crimson mask with some unknown symbols carved into the edges. The mask only covers his eyes and top of his nose; underneath one can see the wide, merciless smile almost constantly on his face, and the long vertical scar on his right cheek.

His body is decorated with black metal armour with crimson trim, with some nondescript black cloth covering the rest of his body underneath. A bright red symbol in the shape of a dragon's head can be seen emblazoned on his chest plate. Cone-shaped gauntlets cover his forearms, ending in his small-looking yet strong hands. On the bottom, a metal groin plate of the usual colours sits atop a skirt-like garment made of a tattered black cloth. And his metallic boots of the same colours as his armour make clunking sounds as he runs across the battlefield.

That is, if he runs. A tattered black cape hangs from the long spiky pauldrons atop his shoulders, one which temporarily levitates him as he leaps into the air, a motion that lets him sneak up on tall foes from behind provided his armour doesn't move around and clink against itself.

Attached to a heavily chained belt surrounding his hips is a sharp triangular sheath that looks like it'd comfortably fit a dagger. But when the Demon King withdraws the hilt from the sheath, a blade much longer than the sheath materialises from a few crimson sparks that shoot out from it. Given the colour and shine of the blade, one would swear it's constantly drenched in blood. And the blade is not straight; instead it takes on a zigzagged shape, making it resemble a lightning bolt.

Powers: Rokuten Maoh can use a few melee attacks with his sword, but the majority of his techniques are elemental, especially Electric-element attacks. His most common attack involves him generating electric current in his sword, making the blade glow and electrocuting anything it strikes. If he builds up electricity in the blade over a period of time, he can fire thunderbolts out of it as well. The thunderbolts can be their usual crimson colour, which do regular electric damage, or they can be black (requires a little more effort), doing Darkness damage. If he is ever disarmed, provided the sword is in one piece, he can draw it back to himself by generating a magnetic current around his body. And as mentioned before, he can fly for brief periods of time for the purposes of hitting foes in the air. He can't hover still in the air though, nor can he turn very sharply once in the air, hindering his ability to dodge aerial attacks. He also can't charge his sword while in the air--any charging must be done on the ground.

Though Rokuten Maoh is an Electric elemental, he is actually slightly weak to other Electric attacks, as well as fire--probably due to the amount of metal armour on him. He is resistant to Darkness and Ice attacks though.

[storymasterb]

Shin is Accepted. Sorry about the wait, haven't really been looking at this thread lately.
