I think my 2 characters will be a Dragonborn paladin and a dragonborn sort of sorceress.

I changed and am doing a Priestess (Cleric), & Sorcerer.  

I put the chars on a private forum, so I can make the char posts as long or short as I need without thinking it is to long.

Alright.  Here is my first Chara I'll be using

Name: Akito Kiryusen
Race: Fauxen (anthromorphic red fox)
Gender: Male
Appearance:  Akito wears a blue long-tailed coat, which has a slit up the back to his waist, from which his tail protrudes.  The sleeves of the coat are cut cleanly off, revealing strong, well-muscled arms.  He wears black long pants, which, despite the heat, seem not to bother him.  He also wears black, fingerless gloves.  His black hair is tied back in a long ponytail, with long bangs framing his face, and his ice-blue eyes.

Equipment:
Yamato:  Aki's favored weapon, this Fauxen katana is razor-sharp, and seems to be unbreakable and ever sharp.  The blade is rumored to have been forged by a demon.

Personality:
Akito comes off as friendly, if a bit sarcastic, but beneath the facade, he is calm, calculating, and ruthless in battle...

Well, I am a large Final Fantasy fan, so the characters I made reflect such, and I based them on actual Final Fantasy rules so they can be associated to the official series better, but I said "based" because I did tweak some things, so not to use from the series directly, with characters like Adelle, Hurdy, and such. I made these characters myself, using premade aspects.

I prefer Final Fantasy Tactics games more, and they do something unique. They tone down each class, but make up for it by letting you select two of them. Again, they aren't twice as powerful as characters from other games, since each class is more limited.

To be more original, I combined classes into most unheard of combinations, and some are even impossible for the games, considering the Pictomancer class is only available in Final Fantasy VI, no tactics one at all.

I prefer relatively weak characters, since I specialize in support over battle, although my characters do have offensive abilities at their disposal. Every spell I picked for each of them honestly is learned by one of classes each has, along with the usable weapons. I took some things out so not to be overwhelming with usable spells, but every spell I use is left unchanged.

I have reasons for things I did with them, for example the attack comparison for two of my characters which might raise an eyebrow. If it does, my stats are roughly based on the classes, and not so much age and gender. My stats are "base stats" meaning that those are what they excell in depending on the number between 1-10, not that a 10 means they are the ultimate in whatever that number is associated with.

Each of my characters are reflecting by a certain emotion based on their past, and as Final Fantasy is Japanaese, I ended up naming each character after the Japanese word for the emotion they represent. As for what happened in their past and why they are together, I feel that would fit better unfolding in the RP, not a biography of each on this post. Each emotion is the personality basis for each, so if it's anger, that character has a very short temper, and so forth.

I picked five more realistic spells for each character, chosen from what was available for the combination. I had to pick very limited ones, because for example the Heritor class has a spell that sacrifces the user to revive all the user's allies; too powerful to fit the given rules here.

Here are my characters, and they can be changed if something doesn't work out with any or all of them. Each of them is fairly thin, so that provides the general weight image that will come to mind with them; they are too poor to eat well, having no one to care for them but themselves. And of course, I know that some of these moves are still quite good, but I am well aware of succes rates, so you can expect the better moves to not work all the time.

____________________________________________________________________
Just a few more things to cover here. First of all, I am a committed RPer, but most here should know that I do not RP everyday, and when I do, it is usually just one post, but I am working on improving that. Therefore, as I have done in many RP's, my characters must spend a good deal of time away from the others, so if I don't return for a while, I won't hold anything up. I'm afraid that since only I know about these characters, I cannot double team on their control like I am in the Insane Cafe 3 thread. I can interact with others frequently, but I can't stay with them for very long.

Secondly, to make my characters powers a bit unique than standard RPG video games, each already knows all of their moves, but has trouble doing some of them yet. One might try a spell, but having little skill in using it yet, it may not work, or not work correctly, which I hope to use in humorous ways.

Finally, my trio here is not a copy of my trio in the RP Super Smash Bros. Collision. They represent frustration (Jigglypuff), worry (Rita), and concern (Mallow), although you will find similarities in treatment between the two groups.

That being said, I'll begin RPing here soon, sometime after my characters are approved by the RP starter, Noname. And over time, I will add more details to the descriptions these characters, as these ones are only my first draft. Later!

Hello:
 Thanks noname for letting me to enter this rpg, as I told you, I am very busy with university stuff so I'll try to keep up with the rpg.
 Here is the bios for the character I'll be using:

Name: Eriol Dha'ar
Species: Gaean Black Panther
Gender: Male
Age: 30 years old
Appearance: A thin but muscular anthropomorphical black phanter. He has yellow eyes and several scars from many combats, but most of them are covered by his clothing. Since the time he arrived to the desert, he also wears custom sandals and a magic bracelet that will protect him from the intense heat. He uses a large crossbow to attack enemies at long-range and two small swords for close-range combats, but he is most capable to fight without the use of any weapons, or even of using anything he can find from his surrounding areas to his favor.

Personality: A quiet and distrusting traveller, Eriol's mind is foccused in a mission: to hunt down the one responsible for the death of his mate and the end of his dream to have a peaceful life.

History: Been the last known member of a very feared family of assassins, Eriol has a story of fighting and slaughtering enemies. That changed when he met his mate, an aristocrat Gaean Panther called Arianne.

 They decided to make a life together and raise a family despite all odds, but happiness would not last forever, a rival warrior decided to kill Eriol and destroy the Dha'ar family for good only a few days after the birth of Eriol's son Isaac; in the confussion and heat of the fight Arianne is killed and Eriol is forced to flee with his son, claiming for revenge.

 A few days later, Eriol leaves his baby son at the care of a friend of his and his family and departed in a quest to avenge his mate.

 Recent clues he got took Eriol to the remote desert. Even though time has passed, the anger inside him has not diminished.

Here is the way the dracons dress:

Male Dracons over the age of 14 can dress like humans do, minus any footwear, as Dracons don't use footwear at all.

Female Dracons who are adults wear a loincloth and a top. They may or may not wear other ornamentation or other very light clothing, but generally, they don't wear much.

Young Dracons under the age of 7 only wear a loincloth.

Male Dracons between age 7 and 14 wear a loincloth and pants.

Young female Dracons get a top when their mammaries start to develop.

Hello:
 I know the players here are really having a good time and this rpg even has a new player, that's awesome, but I'll be happy if the number of posts could be limited. Yesterday I had too many things to do, and this rpg had 20 new pages?... I also enjoy been here, but if this happen again I may not be able to catch up again and I may need to leave because my time is limited.
 Please don't consider this as a rant or anything, I like been here but we should try to keep the post at a better number.
 Thanks.

That sounds like it may be needed for the main rp.

 If 2 or more players want to rp a night conversation a scouting mission, ect, where only some of their chars will be rping, away from the main group, and they want to rp this & they can post quickly and think it may up up being more then part of a page, even 2-10 pages or more, maybe they can do a side rp thread, instead of rping it in the main thread and can summarize this in the main rp as a part of a comment 1 or 2 people make.  

This may allow both to be satisfied.  The main folks who only rp in the main rp thread which may have some sort of limit on the posts so everyone can easily keep up & those who want or like to do frequent posts or want to rp something that may lead to a lot of pages can get that and those in the main group don't need to read this since it is in another thread and it can be summarized for the main rp thread.

Okay. I understand. I will work to limit the number of posts in a given session unless all players are currently in (a rare event.) I will try to keep it to no more than 10 pages per session on average. Thanks for that.

Yes it is, I understand if dracon culture frowns on female-female relations, but given their intolerance for the other  civilities of rule of law, fair treatment, and female equality.. having two females in relationship doesn't seem like that big a deal, especially whem males can have all the females they want..
