ORIGINAL or CANON:Original
Face claim’s name: Izuku Midoriya - My Hero Academia
What was the inspiration for them / do they embody a particular feeling or emotion?Well, Ruler is a role that I have in almost every story that takes place in my world of Earth B. While the character changes quite drastically with each iteration, this version of Ruler is a small town boy who was thrust into something much bigger than himself. Yes, it really is quite the basic Heroes Journey type, however there's always some little twist. Ruler in this world really embodies the feeling of an overwhelming dread that I always felt had to loom over the characters in my favorite tv shows when I was younger before their journey reached its end. The anxiety that always seemed to linger, yet, the characters rarely shied away from their duty. That is my hope for Ruler, for him to move from an anxiety filled young boy into a brave adventurer willing to use every bit of his power to help others.
Name: Ruler
Nickname: Boy, Orphan, Freeloader
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Being Type: Somebody
Position: Neutral Good
Current Primary Objective: Everybody's got a goal in life. What is most important for your character to achieve right now?
Learning type: Kinesthetic
Home World: Earth B
Passive: Heartborn EchoWeapon: Be fair when choosing weapons. Describe the appearance, how the weapon is used in combat and any special abilities it possesses.
Appearance: Explain your character with detail. Describe distinguishing features (such as piercings, tattoos, scars, etc.). Other things you can describe are: clothing they wear on a daily basis and if they ever change their wardrobe, hair color and style, eye color, facial features, body type, height and weight, etc. Paint an image for us in words, even if you provide a picture. You must describe your character in paragraph form; do not use a list.
Personality: Explain the method to your character’s line of thinking. What events from your character’s past have helped to shape or define your character’s personality? Have they picked up any odd or fun quirks because of their past?
Some questions to consider addressing:
- What are your character’s motivations/objectives/desires? Fears/weaknesses/concerns?
- What are their preferences, interests, quirks, hobbies, talents, secrets?
- What type of person is he/she? (Organized? Messy? Patient? Quick-tempered?)
- How does he/she work in a group, and/or react to hazardous situations or obstacles? (This will occur enough times with Heartless and Nobodies running amuck.)
Keep in mind the character’s history. Their background will be a major influence on who they are. If the Personality and History sections aren’t in sync, we may ask you to edit, depending on how the two work together.
This does not imply that if bad things have happened to your character they have to become a negative nancy! As an example: maybe they've lost just enough in life that their patience is wearing thin and has been replaced by a sharp sense of competition?
Natural Affinities/Abilities/Skills: Limitations/Drawbacks: Every good character has a flaw. Sometimes it’s physical, sometimes it’s mental. Sometimes it’s magical. If it’s all, hey, that’s good too!
What is the range of each spell? When can they use it and when can they not? How long does it take, how much of a post cooldown does it require, does performing the action cause mild dizziness/other vulnerability? Be creative with restrictions and consequences to counterbalance your powers. Even the oldest and wisest of characters will have a few. If you have OOC (Out of Character) limits (for example, post durations or ‘only usable twice per thread’ rules), you must also have IC (In Character) reasons (for example, the weapon of choice cannot shoot consecutively, or character will die of fatigue if he/she exerts too much energy).
The staff will be strict here, but please listen to their advice with good grace.
History: Make sure to cover key events in your character’s life. Describe relationships. Explain the events in your character’s life that have made them who they are.
At the very least, these questions must be indirectly answered at some point in the History:
- Where is your character from?
- What are some relationships your character has already experienced? With family, authorities, friends, mentors, pets, lovers, ect.
- How was your character educated in the skills you listed in the abilities section? They cannot be natural-born experts.
That which is frowned upon in a character's history:
- Canon Characters without the RPer's explicit permission.
- Unexplained Amnesia. If it's explained, fine. Just don't leave us guessing.
- Unexplained mysterious figures or voices with generous tendencies. You don't have the Organization XIII in your bedroom closet giving you magic swords.
- Manifestations of godly figures.
Role Playing Sample: Show us a sample of your Role-Playing using your character. Express your character to the best of your ability. This is your time to shine! Remember to:
- Write in paragraph style and
- Write in Third Person Past Tense. This means 'he went to the Clock Tower', not 'he goes to the Clock Tower'. The only time First Person should be used is if we're reading a journal entry or a thought. First Person is only acceptable in such a situation as: "Sora looked up to the stars. _I wonder what happened to the stars?_ He thought."
If you need more clarification on something, ask a staff member.
If stumped, here are some possible ideas for the sample. Feel free to use these, combine these, or do something completely different:
- Your character's Awakening.
- First post in Twilight Town
- An event in their life (depicting where they were during the destruction of their original world is a common one).
- A memory or a dream.
