I'm putting up my character today too

Please disregard the number of mages in my previous posts. (IDK WHY I DID THAT, ACK.)

Something for me to refer to:

Leader - Black

Secretary - Green

Head Medic - White (of course!)

Head Security - Black

Number of mages in GC:

White: 5

Blue: 0

Black: 7

Red: 2

Kagura is, in a nutshell, "a precocious punk who flirts with people and danger much too often for others' comfort". He is also terrible with comforting people, so there's that. He is hot-blooded and short-tempered, but lily-livered he is not. In fact, he can be brutal in more ways than one.

He loves a good challenge, but hates to admit defeat, making him a sore loser. In competitions, he practises the chivalry of age-old knights where there should be no advantages pertinent to outside factors; those with a "leverage" (by networking, especially) are considered cheaters in Kagura's books. His overly righteous approach comes off as obstinate and sometimes foolish as well as not strategic.

He believes a person should be constantly reminded of reasons to live, because to forget their purpose is to waste their life away as a mindless, directionless caricature.

He was an orphan before Hitsui took him in as a ward; specifically worded by the mentor himself, "plucked from the garbage can". Kagura grew up since his early teenhood amongst senior members of Gentlemen's Club, and secretly feels privileged as an "early member" compared to newcomers that joined the secret society after him, although he tries to be modest (miserably badly) whenever his mentor or the leader is present.

Tadashi unnerves the club with both his piercing bored eyes and "bring forth your worst" complacency. He approached the club with a Doberman beside him, and asked for a place called home. Unsure on how to turn him away, the circle permitted his stay in exchange for his services as a green mage. He worked his way up from the "nameless errand boy" (who was left alone even by Kagura) to the present day secretary who falters at nothing - even news of their own people going missing.

Mostly, he feeds from the pantry and sleeps in the medic room, although he can be found asleep on the floor in his little office as well, surrounded by his animal friends (really, it's just his Doberman and, recently, blonde rat). The leader has once asked if he would like to have his own place, but the offer was declined with no reasons provided, much to everyone's chagrin.

In regards of his entrance into Japan, I consulted a friend of mine and this is what he has said:

Quote
Oh! And on the Japanese refugees thing, I couldn't find concrete numbers; they only started counting in 2007, but, from the Japanese Foreign Ministry site, it's listed that they recognised only 577 refugees between 1982 and 2010.

Taking into account that the number of accepted refugees peaked in 2010, I think we can guess that in 1995, there wasn't that many refugees accepted.

Unfortunately, they didn't give any reasons as to why those people were accepted, but if I were to hazard a guess, it'd be because they had skills Japan needed.

So, basically, in 1995, that character wouldn't have been able to get into Japan. Not unless he was clear on who his brother was, and his brother was willing to vouch for him. I think familial ties are a massive advantage when it comes to seeking asylum.

As for his survival of a bullet wound to the heart, I found it OP at first, but after some deliberate consideration, I've decided that it's okay. But to mitigate its OP-ness, bear in mind that red magic is the only one that overrules the need to be resourceful on both physical and mana energy. If the red mage ran out of mana, then he dies. Is that fair? Because IMO he otherwise is stronger than a vampire.

Back to the immigration thing - you'll either have to provide a different backstory or control his brother as an active NPC as well because Japan is strict with allowing foreigners in.

's prompt and other suggestions, I've delved into finding an appropriate word and have decided upon the word "craft", for its association to sorcery, definition of a "profession", and the brotherhood of freemasonry*.

Freemasonry (or just plain Masonry, for short) is a society of men concerned with moral and spiritual values, and one of the world's oldest and most popular fraternal organizations. Freemasonry is perhaps the most misunderstood, yet popular, "secret society" the world has ever known.

He can't be born in '95 though because the roleplay is set in the 90s. He'd be a foetus or infant. c:

Here is a link that helps you guys visualise the society during that age. It's Japan's "Lost Decade", so dark times.

He's lean and a bit athletic, exercising is part of his day. Mostly jogging and running so he's fast on his feet, he can also jump high if he puts more effort. The greatest and powerful (even quality) part of his body is his legs in fact.[/td]

[td]Personality[/td]

[td]A quiet guy who won't talk unless you talk to him first or he wants to say something. He doesn't like it when people force him to talk, he'll clam up. He's the type to observe than to take part, a great listener. Yoichi does fuss, though not loudly, when it comes to health and injuries, specifically to people he cares about and he's friends with.

His heart is fairly open, there will be at times he'll emotionally get hurt. He is kind but kindness can lead into trouble, especially being taken advantage of. Yoichi tends to hide rather than open up, it may take time for him to do so, as long as he feels uncomfortable and hesitant: it'll take long before he spills.

Still, he can be cautious, eyes wide open. Intuitive and sort of sensitive to things that were meant to hide, illusions and tricks will work on him when he starts to notice that something's not right. Doesn't mean that he's not affected.[/td]

[/tr]

[tr]

[td]Background[/td]

[td]He was born with legs kicking high and fireworks igniting from the distance. Even when he was a growing child, Yoichi has always been the one to run, the wind his most companion and the light at the end greeting him from the never-ending race.

His parents struggled with finance, sometimes it leads to arguments that doesn't last long yet at times, almost driving a divorce if it didn't cost money. Yoichi has always hid away, listening, out of sight. Still, he continues to run, not to let it get to him. (That is to say, a bit of a lie.) There's always hope, his father had said.

It does not mean they're poor, they make enough to send him to school so that he could learn. His upbringing resulted him in being more quiet than loud, his parents worried about money and there were still fights. (It doesn't mean they don't love each other. They do but it was not the time for love, it was the time to find money to survive.)

One day, when he was 12, his mother had gotten an injure in her hand. With careful fingers, he clasped her hand with his own hand, Yoichi had accidentally healed the injury using white magic. His mother was terrified, she took him to his room and explained to him with hush, scared voice of mages and magic.

"Never ever let anyone know." she told, eyes grave and serious, twinged with scared emotion and panic of what's to come if someone knows. Seeing her state of seeing his newly discovered abilities, Yoichi was spooked out. He understood that mages were feared, his father's eyes had always been gentle, grew cold and steeled at the involvement of mages.

If he were to know his son's status of a mage, it will never end in a happy note.

Still, he did not want to hold down his new abilities, in secret, he tried his best to practice on his own. Searching ways to improve without letting anyone know. There was a piece of him that wanted to help and there might be a chance he'll need it.

So with a heavy heart and a purpose in his steps, Yoichi ran and he kept running. If you stop then what will change? his mother whispered, fingers brushing through his hair with motherly affection.

When he started college, the nurse took him in when he wanted to learn more when it comes to health and the human body. She (who studied to become a doctor but ended up getting the nurse's job) must have saw something in him that she tucked him under her wing.[/td]

[td]Abilities[/td]

[td]Yoichi is greatly attuned to his white magic, his healings are more than ordinary, the wind seems to be more favorable towards him and the light warms up more than ever, if molded right: he could become one of the greatest white magic users in years to the future. But it means that he can't fight well in brutes of strength. No, he's not that strong.[/td]

Well, I was alright throughout until the last part where he's pretty much adept to every part of the white magic. He sounds like a one-man army to me, BUT since he is limited by offensive skills, it's fine. Don't suddenly summon up a storm or tornado in the early on for the roleplay and it's all good!

On that note, since you mentioned the nurse as his sensei, will you be playing her as NPC?

He is adept but he's not a master, it'll take a looong looooong time for him to become one. It's more of being attuned? It comes naturally, even so, there are still bumps on the road. If he does that in early rp, he'll basically be dead otl.

She'll appear, yes but I don't know for sure if she'll became an important NPC in the future.

Hey man, I read through the updates on your character, and I'm sorry to say that I'm going to have to reject your character again. I know, doing hours and hours of research for one character isn't good, but your character just has too many holes, and not even holes in parts that can be overlooked; they are in parts that are in - what I find - integral parts of his backstory.

1) My friend did some research on this, and found out that in 1990, when your character would be 13, there wasn't a power struggle in North Korea. Kim Il-Sung was still very much in power and very much in control.

2) I would like to know how your character got into North Korea, as I felt you simply hand-waved it away. Japan has a history of being strict with immigration, so I feel that his method of entering Japan would be quite important to his backstory. As a teen with little prospects for employment, it seems more likely that Japan would turn him away.

3) This is the part I have a big issue with, his status as a spy. I feel that as an underaged person living on his own - who is also unemployed, to boot - would be a rather conspicuous person. Japan is big on making sure new citizens or PRs have proper employment, so wouldn't it make more sense for your character to have a cover?

Those are my issues with your character. If you still want to stay in this RP, I would need you to either completely revamp this character or make a completely new one. I presume you're in for the

[td]About[/td]

[td] Kaoru grew up as an only child, and despite growing up dotted on and cherished as a child, he is estranged from his family after spending almost a year abroad, and hasn't spoken to them since his return and doesn't plan to. This is in small part due to being unable to share the fact that he was a mage. As a young child, he knew his connection to water was unlike his peers, even those who also adored swimming. He was vaguely aware of mages at a young age due to eavesdropping on his parents' muttered whispers on the taboo subject. He kept his feelings a secret, lest he be mistaken for one. Kaoru couldn't ignore the draw towards illusionary magic, however. Water made him feel things, made him feel connected, but illusions connected him to other people, even if it was a lie. It wasn't until he was in high school when he realized that he really was a mage. His connection and use of illusionary magic had always been subtle, but very frequent, and for him it felt so natural he often forgot not everyone did it. It was almost spiritual, personal. It was strange to get used to the title 'mage' once he accepted that he must be one. It took him longer to decide that he wanted to be more connected to others at large, and has been attempting to find a means to join The Gentlemen's Club, but is terrified of rejection. [/td]
