Bio:
Byron always dreamed of being the popular kid in school, unfortunately he never became friends with the popular kids but easily became friends with all of the non-popular kids. After awhile, Byron learned that the idea of what's popular isn't set in stone and is constantly changing, so he decided to act more naturally instead of acting how people thought he should be. This actually made Byron more courageous and willing to stand out in a crowd, but his new-found joy hid something underneath. Byron was never truly happy, even when he was doing his favorite things with his friends. He felt that he had the potential to do more than what he was capable. He felt that he belonged someplace else and was stuck in his boring life following the same routine.

He constantly got into fights with the stronger kids at school, trying to prove to himself that he could handle any obstacle standing in his way, but all the encounters ending with him being sent to the nurse's office. When senior year finally arrived, Byron decided to make his last year in high school a memorable one. He wanted to throw some kind of big party but was unable to do so due to a lack of funds from his parents.

One day, the school took Byron and his class on a field trip to the tar pits thinking that it would be a good place to cement some of the topic that they were discussing in history but the students took it as an opportunity to get away from school to look at dinosaur skeletons. Byron was minding his own business, mindlessly following the group from stop to stop and acting like he was listening to the teacher. The trip looked like it was going to be another boring day, until the class bullies decided to pull a prank on Byron. When the class got close to the pit, the bullies blocked Byron's path and circled around him. Byron knew that they were planning on attacking him so he dropped his stuff and got ready to fight but the bullies didn't move. They waited for the rest of the class to move on and once they did, they started to close in on him all at once and grabbed him. They all lifted him above their heads and brought him closer to the pit until they were at the edge of it. They all started counting and threw Byron into the pit when they reached zero. They thought that once Byron was in he could get out but they didn't take into consideration that Byron couldn't swim and that no living thing can get out of the tar pits. Byron was slowly sinking into the tar and struggled to get himself back onto land, but that only made him sink faster until he was completely sunk underneath the tar. The bullies stood at the edge waiting for Byron to come out but realized what they did when nothing happened. They all were frightened and ran.

Disadvantages:
Honor Bound: Only she can hurt Byron, no one else, whether it be physically, mentally or emotionally. If someone tries to hurt Byron, its go time.
Big Softy: She’s 4 inches tall! How can anything that small be scary?
Obsession: Becoming Powerful: Gwen has an unhealthy want to become the most powerful person alive. She will do anything that seems easiest to gain more power.

Advantages:
Flight: It may have taken a while, but her wings have finally become strong enough to have her fly around, no matter what size.

Appearance: She has long, grass green hair that is kept in a single ponytail in the back of her head. Her eyes are green; her wings are pale and are shaped like butterfly wings. Her curves are a 4 on the Don Scale. Her outfit consists of a brown, v-cut shirt with long sleeves that cover up to her knuckles and a pair of blue jeans that are ripped at the knees. Since she either flies around everywhere, or rests on Byron’s head/shoulder, she goes barefoot.

Personality: Gwen is best described, by those who don't know her, as a jerk. To those who do know her, she's still a bit of a jerk, but a jerk that has a heart of gold. She views herself as Byron's sister and thus acts like one. She will annoy him by acting as a "Miss Know-it-all" and she will abuse him, physically, mentally and emotionally. But she is willing to help and protect him, whether he wants her to or not.

Wind Blast 1
Fireball 1
Ice shard 1
Earth spike 1
Heal Damage 1

Pet: Paper-Gwen "QT" (Looks like Gwen in her base form, but has a crown. So she thinks she is a queen!)

Now to wait for approval and/or critiques on what i should change

[pneumonica]

First thing I would request: Could you paragraph the bio? It's a solid block of text.

[Neimad the I'S]

You may want to expand upon his appearance and personality.

Definitely should break up your bio into several paragraphs instead of one large wall of text, because sometimes walls of text are hard to scale... I mean read >.>

One big mechanical issue is that you don't start with any facet levels (this means no bonus HP/MP values), so please fix that. ^-^

Also it might be a good idea to put down/note that the free School Uniform has 'unlimited student facet access', which allows for you to gain the bonuses (HP, MP, abilities, casting) associated with Student facet levels when/if you have levels in said facet. It's also probably not the best idea to wear the School Uniform if you plan on focusing on Martial Artist, as it'll prevent you from wearing any other facet access clothing. ^-^;;

[Rascleman500]

I actually had a harder time than i thought i would extending his personality and appearance but somehow succeeded!

[Cydra the Creative]

I think you to describe what kind of Demi-Human he is. Is he a leopard, a cheetah, fox, or what?

[Rascleman500]

Just making a little nudge here so Byron can no longer be pending

[Kain Telsa]

You don't need to put the hp/mp in brackets, though it's fine either way.
You have Pounce 1/1 , make a note of that.

The last paragraph has what happens when you arrive. In your first in-game post(s), is when he does those things.

Also, why does he have heroic: willing to save anybody? Is it because his 'death' made him reconsider things, or trying to prove himself? Actually, thinking about why he's at MSF and how he will act would be another good start for your early posts.

[Rascleman500]

Decided to change his race to domestic demi-human and changed the facet to warrior

[Kain Telsa]

Alright, you are approved. You have a temp ID and may begin posting.

[Rascleman500]

Update to include Byron's new companion, Gwen. RP has been spent and approved by Mitchell

[Rascleman500]

Update to include new levels and stats. Also, I realized I forgot to add the +2 bonus from warrior for Byron, so it will be a +2 to ATK from Byron's first weapon, Pandora.

[Rascleman500]

Used my remaining RP to make Byron a hybrid with shapeshifter. Approved by Mitch.

[Rascleman500]

Added a disadvantage to Gwen. Approved by Mitch

Obsession: Becoming Powerful - Gwen has an unhealthy want to become the most powerful person alive. She will do anything that seems the easiest to gain more power.

[Rascleman500]

Added new advantage, and new artifact (both approved by Mitch), and just general clean-up on some things.
