Reply With QuoteHow does your character dark talents stay hidden from the people who have taken him in?
Hey im looking to start my own Rp and i thought i would just throw my draft out there to see what people think im still working on my first post or the start of the story but here is the plot in brief.Its got bits and pieces from books or games but my character and his story is all mine.
Its set in ancient Japan. Nobunaga is the Lord of demons commanding a massive demon army, his aim to topple the existing rulers of Japan and proposing the uniting of Japan but under the oppressive rule of his army. While the Toyotomi, Tokugawa, Mitsuhide and the Miayamoto clans battle against Nobunaga's onslaught. All the while fighting amongst themselves to decide who will ultimately unite Japan under one ruler.
Members can choose to be on any side or part of which ever clan they would prefer, or just be a lone mercenary or assassin etc with their own personal issues to finish.

Warfare is a great matter to a nation; it is the ground of death and of life; it is the way of survival and of destruction, and must be examined.Therefore, go through it by means of five factors; compare them by means of calculation, and determine their statuses: One, Way, two, Heaven, three, Ground, four, General, five, Law.

It seems like your playing an anti-hero. Anyways if you do start this rp I will like to join as a member of the Yagu clan who has survived and is bent on revenge. If your talents caused the destruction of this clan who took you in and care for you, then they need a few survivors no?Consider me a volunteer

Cool. I'll work on the character ASAP. Do you want me to post the character here? Also, if possible a little background info on the Yagu clan so my character fits in. Thanks again.

Being an experienced roleplayer there is one main criticism I have, which is that the story despcription is centralising over a single character. Genrally, the story's plot is written without the use of a playable character to make the scenario more open for other users. The past of a playable character is normally kept in a seperate biography.
You have a good idea, you just need to make the story more open for other people so that they will join. Give a suggestion of the common factor (if any) between the other playable characters. Do you want them all to be mercenaries or of the Yagu clan, or do you want people on both sides? When you create the main OOC, give a basic character template for other people to fill in (typically these suggest the character's name, age, sex, appearance, personality and background).
I suggest looking at the OOCs of successful RPs here for inspiration. If you need any help, feel free to PM me.
Good Luck.
So in other words i've got to make more open for other people, right got ya thanks for the tip.Originally Posted by Storm

Biography: Born into the Yagu clan Saito was trained in the ways of the samurai at the age of six. His father a farmer/warrior gave his son to the clans leader at the age of six to be trained and educated. The leader of the clan was impressed with the lad and decided to name him one of the successor to the ultimate fighting style of Yagu clan. He was one of twelve chosen for the honor. When Saito reached 16 years of age he was sent out to craft his sword and to practice his new found skills in secrecy. Only after he master the style would he be able to returned. It took Saito a full 2 years to learn the new fighting techniques. He returned to his village, but it was in ruin. It seems the clan had been massacre which shook the young youth. After the tears tried from his face the youth began his search for survivors and information about what had transpired during his absence though Saito had a feeling he knew who was responsible, he didn't have the proof he needed to seek the justice he code demanded.

Important Possession: Saito has a katana named Kazgor which he created during his training. It measure about 24 inches long the sword has a white hilt with the symbol of a lightning bolt on it.
Warfare is a great matter to a nation; it is the ground of death and of life; it is the way of survival and of destruction, and must be examined.Therefore, go through it by means of five factors; compare them by means of calculation, and determine their statuses: One, Way, two, Heaven, three, Ground, four, General, five, Law.

Well I didn't want to have lightning bolts shooting out of my hands or anything that crazy, so for ability I just have stats increasing but if thats alright, I am totally fine with it.
That any better?
The character is fine, but Nobunaga is the Lord of demons, so you know.

Well what I had thought was Lord Nobunagas army had been trying to
A:Get Andrew to join them.
B:Kill him.
So Andrew denied them and is now basicly running through Japan trying to hide from the demon army untill he can get enough people to help him thwart Nobunagas plans.
Sorry guys i haven't had the time to do Raven yet he is still half done on a piece of paper lol i have been trying to get him finished so we could start i promise to have it done by Sunday my weekend is pretty free so i should have time then.

The finer details of a signature:
Name: Raven (given to him by his master because of the Raven that never leaves his side)
Race:Human/Demon god
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Weapon/s: Custom built Katana named Jato imbued with the spirit of the wind god Fujin.It illuminates a dim green glow when released from its scabbard. It has the secret incantation to summon the wind god scribbed into the bottom of the blade and the hilt is a deep emerald green with a thin white bleached leather strap woven around the hilt to give exceptional grip. Look closely at the blade and you may even see the wind in its reflection.
Shuriken/Kunai named Shinigami ( The bringer of death ) that he was drawn to when he was completing his final training into manhood. It is four Kunai that can attach at the bottom of the hilt to make a large cross shaped Shuriken. It is jet black and looks like it swallows all light that touches it. It has a faint shadow aura around it and also looks like a shadow when thrown as either a Shuriken or in Kunai form making it hard to see and follow. It is said that it can dissipate into a shodow and re-emerge from another location.
Apperance: Jet black long hair tied back into a samurai pony tail except his fringe which flows lightly over his face. His eyes are dull red in colour.
He is medium height and a sinewy build with little fat making his muscles more defined. He wears traditional samurai garments, a white samurai shirt and black samurai free flowing pants with his Sword strapped to his left side on his belt and his Shuriken clipped to a speacial holder on his lower back or in kunai form in kunai sheaths on his belt on his back.
Raven has a dislike to most people because they hate his apperance and often despise him, and is very introverted talking very litlle to anyone unless required. He always appears laid back and lazy but is always in tune with his accute senses as well as his ravens senses and is always at the ready to do battle.
Skills: Raven has two main weapon skills- He can quick draw his Sword Jato from its sheath and direct it at a target creating a very quick attack that produces a cocentrated force of powerful wind in the shape of a blade and can slice through its target within a certain range. He can also summon extreme wind from his sword.
When he throws his Kunai or Shurekin he can somewhat control it mid flight as if it had a mind of its own changing its direction mid flight or even spinning in one spot.
Speacial skills: Raven can meld into the shadows and/or creating illusions from the shadow themselves.
Raven's best friend is his raven named Shadow who stays by him all the time either in th sky or on his shoulder. Raven shares such a strong bond with Shadow that they can thought speak with each other and Raven can become one with Shadow's senses allowing Raven to use Shadows eyes and ears where ever he is.
Shadow is a jet black raven about the size of a hawk with white eyes. Shadow rescued Raven from the hunger of vultures and other scavangers when Raven was left for dead off the side of a road until a traveling mercenary from the Yagu clan named Shigeru found him and took him in.
