Hmmm. I mean I'd check with him in regards to his specific complaint as he knows more about this than me at least.

The only concern I had was that it might do too much by offering extra damage and perfect tracking, however that isn't the case as you specifically say the effect is lost if the target is out of view (I was picturing the DnD hunters mark). So in practice it lets him focus on one target and damage them a bit more, could prove useful against more advanced grim but probably useless against the smaller ones.

Has several ways to be interrupt and it and can't be spammed so there are weaknesses, even has potential for improvements over time should he ever end up in a higher year which i really like.

Seems fine to me honestly, but again I'm hardly an approval moderator. Have you made changes since Xar said that?

King is in full control as always, I'm just here to nitpick :P (As in make sure the approval mods cant complain about minor things).

You need to include a date of birth under age using the RWBY calendar

Would also like to see something about how he does academically under personality.

Looking good.

Welcome to the site Yarbad :D Always glad to see more people join inn.

You have two options for making your character, you can post it in the WiP section where other members will give you some tips and can help with any questions, or go straight to the approval boards where you can get your character added to the roster once its been reviewed by two mods (They can seem a bit harsh but they mean well :P )

In either case you should use this template. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask :D Look forward to seeing you around.

This is already filling up, but I'd love to put Diana up for consideration as well.

I've seen you in the character creation discord quite often so I thought I'd ask about that.

When you're creating a character whats the first thing you consider? And are there times that you pull on your own personality / or things that are opposite to you?

Hopefully it'll be a bit useful. Might expand on it in a few weeks, but for now I'll just keep an eye on whenever characters get approved.

So most of you have probably heard about this in the Discord but if not I've taken it upon myself to get some data about all the characters we have approved so far. It's mostly basic stuff but I think its still nice to have it collected, and from now on new profiles can simply be added. This also means that if we want to collect stats on other aspects, then at least the basic stuff is covered so we need only look at specifics.
 
Anyhoo I've tried to collect the more interesting stuff here (following the template cause why the hell not) with the full spreadsheet at the bottom. Also wanted to thank Kali for helping out with a few profiles towards the end :D

(Would have liked to make the graphs a bit better but turns out google sheets is horrrrible at it)

Age:
Unsurprisingly the most common age is 17 with the average being 20.5.


Species and Gender:
The ratio of women to men is pretty much even (133 female, 128 male). In regards to species women have a more even split, with 44% of female characters being faunus, whilst only 29% of male characters are faunus. (Non-binary are 100% faunus, however that's just a sample size of 3).


Faunus:
I've yet to come up with a way to present this graphically as its so varied, so for now I'll post some highlights here (feel free to check the spreadsheet for details). The most common species is fox, however with grouping the Felidae were more popular than the Canidae (24 vs 22).

In total there are currently 41 different species.

The most common traits were ears followed by tail, the third most common was profiles that claimed to be faunus with no written faunus traits.

School:
Couldn't really make a graph that contained the range of values here so a table will have to do.


Height:
I would love to give you guys the average height, however as it's not in metric I wont It's 5'8". The plot of the heights does make a decent bell curve. (There are 4 characters not included here as they were above 7'0", with the max at a whooping 8'4)


Parents:
155 parents have died for our tragic backstories (and 13 tows/villages).


Semblance:
The semblance stuff changed a bit over the recording so this isn't finished atm.
However based on what I have I can say that the most common semblances are in order; Shield, Enhanced senses, Speed, self movement manipulation, fire, electricity, none.
This will be revisited next time I have time (Or if someone else is up for it).

Weapon:
Far too much to organise graphically, so take a look at the spreadsheet.

Link to the full spreadsheet (The Faunus species, and weapon sheets are probably the most interesting as they weren't graphed).
At the moment only me and Kali have editing permission, whilst I'll try to keep track myself any staff involved in character approval are welcome to contact me for editing rights.

EDIT: There are also bound to be a few errors in here, even when trying to do as quickly as possible this still took a few days work. If you see anything particular feel free to let me know here or on discord and I'll fix it.

Looking good. Apart from the history and the weakness that King covered there are two minor things missing. You're missing a date of birth under 'Age' as well as a description of his symbol.

Good luck with the history :D

Now that our team is officially initiated I wanted to expand on some of the things that will have happened between initiation and the next thread with some questions to the team (in separate threads because that's how the amas are). Anyhoo. What did Brock bring to the dorm, what possessions would we find on his nightstand/desk/shelves that sorta thing?

All good about the RPG classes :) Janna is the one I'm interacting with most so that was the most important and your answer there makes perfect sense.

Now that our team is officially initiated I wanted to expand on some of the things that will have happened between initiation and the next thread with some questions to the team (in separate threads because that's how the amas are). Anyhoo. What did Janna bring to the dorm, what possessions would we find on her nightstand/desk/shelves that sorta thing?

Awesome :D

Now that our team is officially initiated I wanted to expand on some of the things that will have happened between initiation and the next thread with some questions to the team (in separate threads because that's how the amas are).

I'm just going to quote myself on your other thread for your other character that seems identical apart from the name

First off welcome to the site Shadow Rose. Fair warning It does take a while to create a character but there are people here that will do their best to help you out. :D

The point Capta1n_Henry was making is that all characters bios follow the same template, so copy whats in the box bellow and then edit (modify) the first post. Replace Sample Text with your characters stuff. Then take a look at some other characters profiles and you'll get the idea.


Template. Copy and paste it into your profile to begin.

Code: [Select]
[size=18px][u][b]CHARACTER[/b][/u][/size]

[b][u]Name:[/u][/b] Sample Text

[b][u]Age:[/u][/b] Sample Text

[b][u]Species and Gender:[/u][/b] Sample Text

[b][u]Symbol:[/u][/b]  Sample Text

[b][u]Occupation:[/u][/b] Sample Text

[b][u]Appearance:[/u][/b] Sample Text

[b][u]History:[/u][/b] Sample Text

[b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] Sample Text

[b][u]Aura and Semblance:[/u][/b] Sample Text

[b][u]Combat Behavior:[/u][/b]  Sample Text

[size=18px][u][b]WEAPON[/b][/u][/size]

[b][u]Name:[/u][/b] Sample Text

[b][u]Primary Form:[/u][/b] Sample Text

[b][u]Secondary Form:[/u][/b] Sample Text

[b][u]Tertiary Form:[/u][/b] Sample Text

[b][u]Dust Functions:[/u][/b] Sample Text

[b][u]History:[/u][/b] Sample Text

Also when you add more details you'll want to press "modify" on the main post, not as separate posts. Same goes for double posting, just edit the last one.

It may take a while to get it all written but we will help you out :D

Modify the first post don't make new ones for adding details, look at other approved characters to get the idea. 
And a scar is not a weakness.

I'm a patient person so :D
Well that's good, I'm really not :P As I've said before I'm still rather new to the site (and writing in general) so as far as in-depth reviews others may have to step in but I'll still gladly take a full look at it.

Name: Can be colored or not, entirely up to you :)

Age: good

Species and Gender: just missing a space between it and age, then good.

Occupation: good

Appearance: The image isn't loading for me for some reason so try to redo the link? Could just be an error on my end. Though I can see it as your avatar and always fantastic to have some art for it (something I've been looking into myself). Also good to see its in a spoiler box :)

Clothing: looks good to me as well

Lack of Affiliation: good (Writing that makes little sense but you get my point).

History:
  • Disturbing is a nice change as it leaves the same impact but doesn't neceissarily have to be abnormal so no worldbuilding.
  • Jasmine coin skips all the issues with enchanting and will be preserved. The other option here would be to have it be a figure, or a pressed flower (though that would still have some but a looot slower degredation).
  • Syne Academy?
  • Does her aunt and uncle still work there? Are they retired?
  • Did she go to the academy or was she trained by her faimly outside of the school.
  • 'Trained in marksmanship', but at the moment has no ranged weapons?

Personality: I'm not familiar with The Twilight Zone so that doesn't say much to me. I'd say maybe reorder this a bit so that you say something like "she often does X and Y which can come off as a bit strange to her peers" because at the moment we don't really know 'what' makes her strange or intriguing? Other than that I like the personality as it also talks about her mannerisms and how she presents herself which too many profiles don't (quickly checking if mine does...). Last thing here is that you need to address how she does academically.

Aura: What color is it? What do you mean by aura type speed?

Semblance: So this is where you can tie it into a single ability with multiple outcomes. F.eks rather than controlling two aspects of the weather she has control over environmental water. Now a lot of characters have elemental semblances, however the way you have described it isn't 'waterbending' instead her semblance lets her act on a much larger scale (strength) but with far less control (weakness), with the examples of rain and fog.

Combat Behavior: Missing something about her ranged capacity, does she still have the crossbow or is that gone now? If so that means she has a considerable weakness there as she needs to close the gap inorder to attack.

Weapon:

Name: good

Primary Form: the 'compact' form, what 'customization' does it offer? Says two weapon types though at the moment you just have the sword?

Secondary Form: the entire case becomes the blade and contains the leather strap inside it, or does that come from somewhere else? If it is in the case does it just drop out every time she makes the sword?

Tertiary Form: missing (don't have to have it of course)

Dust Functions: No dust capacity is another weakness to consider

Weapon History: Remove 'when', or reword that sentence. I'm also not a big fan of the cannot be copied, as that implies there is some technique that no one else has? If so that raises massive questions of where she got it.

You're getting really close to done as far as I'm seeing :), with the main thing left to wrap up the story (which I'm not the greatest at reviewing).
