Fighting Styles
Offense -Strong: Deals double damage - Jax's fighting style is very down and dirty, a 'get it done and get it done FAST' style of combat. As such, his only mode of combat is Attack Attack Attack, though Berlioz is slowly teaching him otherwise.
Defense -Dodge: Defending character receives a single free hand action. - Somewhere along the way in his past life Jax developed some amazing speed and reflexes, due in part to being double jointed. Add into the fact that physically, he can't take too many strong blows, he focus more on dodging then countering rather then blocking a hit. "If you're fast enough to dodge it, why block it?"



Advantages
Bishi: Something about Jax seems to draw people to him. Maybe it's the way he talks. Maybe its the nine tails that catches peoples interest. Maybe it's the spiky white ponytail he keeps his long hair in. Maybe they just want to rub his ears. More likely then not it's because he is quite handsome, with a strong, lithe form a bright smile on his face that is always welcoming, as a guy, a girl, or whatever other form he may take. He can only be described as 'one of the beautiful people'.

Extra Running Speed: Jax is all about poring on the speed. In his past life, he ran from people because he was shy. Now he runs because he wants to explore, experience, and help others, and his amazing running speed reflexes that.

Double-Jointed: Jax has always been Double-Jointed, as far as he can remember... though that isn't saying much. He can bend and twist like a Chinese acrobat when he's really pressed to it, though it does hurt him a bit, the Double-Jointedness has really become a true advantage to him, helping him dodge things and do simple things like sit down without hurting himself or his tails. They can be a hassle sometimes!

Super Strength: Jax doesn't understand where he got the strength. He likes it though. He likes being strong, being able to stand up for himself. He knows that someday he'll be able to fight for others and defend them as a true warrior, and as a true hero, with all of his strength behind them. And he likes that.

Disadvantages
Heroic
Curious
Bad Luck
Damage Magnet
Curse Of the Ender: Due to a recent recovery of some pieces of Jax's memory of his past, he remembers a battle against a demon named Belhmut the Ender, a demon that had a vested interest of killing him. Apparently Belhmut tried a Transgender curse as part of a way to defeat him, but the spell only worked halfway. The curse bound itself to the water that Jax was soaked in at the time, and now his gender switches when he gets soaked with water. In Hot water, he becomes a girl, and in Cold water, he becomes a guy.
Curse: Genderlock Skill: A shrine priestess is a very exclusive set of skills. The martial arts skills and abilities that she has are only usable by a girl. How a he learned these skills are not fully aware to him yet, but he is unable to use them while male. ((All magic and Facet abilities that Jax learns as a Shrine Priestess are only usable while female.))

Starting Equipment
School Uniform

Mach-Breaker Trench Sword MRK II (1-15 Slashy damage, 1-10 Elemental damage (Sound))
((Trench Sword: A modified version of the Trench Knife from world war I, the Trench Sword is a 1 handed longsword with a brass-knuckles-esk handguard and a short dagger on the other side, making it a very versatile weapon, able to do blunt, puncture, and hack/slashing damage all in one. Requires a special sheath, due to the dagger on the end piece, and can only be mounted on one's back. Recently upgraded to MRK II, which makes the blade's edge just that much sharper. It seems to be able to break Mach-2 now, causing a even bigger and more devastating sonic boom))

Artifacts
Holy Sakura Fist: A Gauntlet on his right arm made of wood from a shrine's Sakura tree, carefully engraved with holy markings and blessed with protective magics. Holy Casting Item
Enhanced Sarashi: 1-10 Armor, +2 Mag, 2 Point Stat Transfer (Soc to Atk)

Personality
Jax is, in a word, energetic. He's always up to SOMETHING. A helpful, kind person by nature, and one who often is curious about everything around him, he often gets in trouble, often of the worst kind. He always keeps a positive outlook, and enjoys making friends. He forgives easily, often because he caused the trouble in the first place. He seems to have a hard time being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and has a strange pattern of luck and coincidence that always seems to put him in the middle of where the trouble is, and often as the first target. That being said, he has the luck of the devil, and so far has been able to walk out of... well... most of his problems anyway, mostly unharmed.

Origin
Life sucks, and then you die. I want a Second Chance.
To one Ash Marith, this was the truth, the whole truth, and the only truth in a life filled with lies, horrible luck, bad timing, and unforeseeable situations.

All Ash had ever wanted was to do something right in life. Stop someone from bombing a school, save someone else's life by pushing them out of the way of a car, anything to be able to say, “I did something worthwhile when I was alive.”

Ash's natural curiosity, sense of Moral Standards, reasoning to be a hero, and a rather… odd sense of luck, lead Ash to death, ironically, as a hero.

One day, on Ash's way home from school, Ash was walking by the warehouses down by the docks on the south side of Ash's hometown, where the small gang that was in town usually hung out. Ash normally walked to the north side of town, a safer way to home, but today was different.

The details about what happened are fuzzy, but all the police were able to determine that a large terrorist group where setting up a bomb of some kind. Whatever it was, Ash had stopped them and activated the bomb, leaping off the side of the dock into the water with the bomb and swimming deep and fast, where a huge explosion apparently liquefied Ash, for the police were never able to find any signs of Ash or the bomb.

The Terrorist group was arrested, and Ash was forever remembered as a Hero, if a bit odd.

They never found any trace of Ash. But that’s because Ash was no longer there.

Ash was whisked away… to MSF High! A chance to start over and a chance to become a hero, as Ash always wanted to be.

Ash, who's memory only goes so far, has taken the name of Jax, ready to face his new life on a new world.
Guess he got his second chance.

Forumspring Insight (Arella's question):
Arella:What do you remember about your past? I know it is not much and I am so sorry about that and if the question is saddening or too personal..

Jax: ... No. It's fine. I'm 18, that's an adult! ... Right?

I remember... what I used to look like. Kinda. I had shorter hair, but I still kept it tied back in a ponytail... I had long bangs that covered my face. Didn't have friends. I played... video games. Read books. I don't remember a lot of the books, but I remember some of the stories that really gripped me, fantasy tales and stories of worlds unlike mine.

I remember playing horror survival video games. They were fun and they felt good when I could overcome a challenge.

I remember some words... a prayer?

I... I used to be... I don't remember... I can't remember... Afraid? No. Worried. About... something. The world.

-Jax starts to shutter a little bit, as if trying to remember is starting to bother him, but he presses onwards-

I remember praying to Inari at... a shrine. Asking her to help me with... something dangerous. It was gonna hurt people. A lot of people.

-A tear forms under Jax's left eye and slowly sides down his face, he doesn't reach up to wipe it away. His voice is very shaky now and he's shivering.-

I... I remember... guns. Yelling... fighting... pain. I remember being shot. I had a bullet pass through my arm. I remember a loud beeping...

-tears are now streaming down Jax's face- I... I... -breaks down and stops talking, unable to continue, sobbing uncontrollably as he falls down, his legs giving out from under him as he cries-

Your first post will be your character arriving at school, so he can't have purchased his gun at the school store prior to that. You can, however, just have it appear on him when he arrives.

Besides that, looks good to me, although a 'Personality' section would be nice, since the Bio is pretty scarce with regards to what he's actually like. Also, I'm not sure saying the bomb "liquifies" him is kosher, since it's unclear whether everyon here is dead or not.

Good character, though you might have a bit of a wait before anyone approves him.

[TraiosEclipse]

Thanks.

I'll add a personality section (once I find the 'edit' button...)

As for the 'liquefied' deal, that isn't what really happened.

What WE know is that the magics of MSF High pulled him away and out of harms way, at the moment he WOULD have died (I'm fairly positive this is how it works...)

What the POLICE know from coming to the scene afterward is that they found the aftereffect of a high-yield explosive device, and that the Terrorists they interrogated gave them a matching description of a boy who called himself 'Adam' beating out a few of them before grabbing the bomb and running with it, knowing it was armed but not knowing how to deactivate it, in order to protect anyone close by.

No body found, the only theory afterward is that he was liquefied or vaporized in the blast, and died a hero.

[Vesper]

The edit button is on the top of your post, next to the big blue "Jax." I'm prretty sure whether the characters die or not is left ambiguous. Donovan, for example, was clearly on fire before he "vanished" and all forms of "death" require that not leaving a body be possible, if not usual.

[TraiosEclipse]

I can imagine that getting blown to bits or vaporized or liquefied or whatever in a high-yield explosive will fit the bill just fine ^-^u

Alright, updated to include a personality section. Good now?

[Vesper]

For me, yeah, although I'm sure others will have their own observations.

[TraiosEclipse]

Well, I look forward to them.

-Is enjoying this, hasn't had a good RP in a while-

[Reeltz]

Take your stats out of your signature, you haven't been approved yet. This makes the GM's (or lack thereof) very angry*.

*No, not really. But it's a nuisance

[TraiosEclipse]

What signature? -whistles-

[Kain Telsa]

Well, first off, as a level 1 demihuman, you have 8 hp and mp. Not sure where you got 13 from.

There's a typo in the fourth and fifth paragraphs of your bio, so look over those again.

Now, he can can certainly change his name. And there can be a uniform and pistol in his room, as symbols of his resolve. But your very first post in MSF is when you wake up on arrival, so the bio shouldn't include any actions in MSF before that, such as shopping.

As for the explosion, just say 'explosion apparently liquefied him', that would be ambiguous enough.

Finally, this is rather minor, but you should rearrange your name-age-level lines to be above your bio, as you see in the other character sheets. Keeping things uniform helps readability, especially if you link to your sheet in your signature.

[TraiosEclipse]

Well, first off, as a level 1 demihuman, you have 8 hp and mp. Not sure where you got 13 from.

I'm not 100% on how the leveling system works yet :P Do you get a level in your species and a level in your 'class' or 'Facet', or just one level that you use on one thing or another?

How does that look?

[Kain Telsa]

You begin the game with one racial level. Any levels you earn later can be put into race or facet, but you only start with the racial.

It looks much better, though I still see it saying 'With a pistol he picked up at the store,' which is a nono.

Oh, and I didn't notice earlier, but as a demihuman you get the 'Ability: Pounce 1/1'. So you can put that in.

[Vesper]

Although keep in mind that to actually use your facet levels, you need to be wearing clothes that allow you to, though you automatically gain unlimited student facet access in your normal clothes.

[TraiosEclipse]

Although keep in mind that to actually use your facet levels, you need to be wearing clothes that allow you to, though you automatically gain unlimited student facet access in your normal clothes.

I'll keep that in mind Vesper.

So, 'Facets' or classes or whatever you want to call them are determined by what kind of clothing you're waring and you can gain levels in the Facets but you can only access them if you're wearing the right clothing. Am I getting it so far?

[Vesper]

That's right. Say Jax levels up and you spend the level on Mage. He still couldn't cast spells until you bought some form of clothing that allowed you to access a certain amount of mage levels (each $100 increment = another 2 levels, $500 = Unlimited). By the same token, if you had this clothing, you wouldn't be able to cast unless you had the levels.

Note that this doesn't neccessarily need to be a complete outfit, as HSCM implies. People on the forum use jewelery, armor, one guy even used a cane.
