Name: Tosoto. (Character based on the one I RP with on World of Warcraft.)

Age: 27(?)

Gender: Male.

Class: Ex-Professional Soldier.

Race: Human (?)

Weapons:  Large 2-handed hammer with spikes at both ends (<a href='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v174/Tosoto/Malowned.jpg' target='_blank'>Reference pic</a>) as well as a large assortment of daggers and short swords. (Exactly 3 swords and 7 daggers)

Hair: Wavy, dark brown hair that is cut short with a long pair of sideburns.

Facial Hair: Goatee.

Height: 6"

Weight: 207lbs

Clothing: His regular clothes are made of dark brown leather accompanied by matching gloves and boots. He also usually wears a hat that covers his eyes when he wants to keep them hidden.
His combat gear includes a breastplate and gauntlets that is worn over the leather. Nothing else

(Please let it be known I am TERRIBLE with descriptions.)

Abilities: None, he depends on his hammer and nothing more to get the job done.

Bio: Tosoto's earliest memories aren't of his childhood. But of a place he called simply "The Vault" Where he had supposedly gone mad until a woman named Nalmarie had helped him recover with the aid of magic and tied his life to a set of jewels so that he would serve her until he was no longer necessary.

He got a hold of the jewels and managed to escape after killing most of his captors in a horrific fashion except Nalmarie (because he felt he owed her his life and it would be wrong to kill her.) and escaped into the world where he spent about 4 years as a soldier fighting in a large war. He eventually stopped with the endless fighting and now wanders around searching for one thing he hopes to have before he dies: Love. However his search for it has never ended well with the women he had tried going after. (which had included various races including harpies and naga <!-- s:D -->Very Happy<!-- s:D -->)And has become rather depressed from it.

Personality: Although he sometimes doesn't want to fight anymore, he enjoys the act of killing, feeling a sense of worth after he is finished killing someone. He isn't sure about what he was before his time in the vault, but he is sure it had something to do with flowers since he feels unnaturally drawn to them when he is traveling. He is usually quiet and doesn't like to talk unless he is talked to first due to his own natural shyness which passes as he learns more about the person he is talking to. Or if he needs something from someone, which in that case he says as little as possible.
While he usually isn't afraid of men, he has a very embarrassing fear of women that he considers to be pretty or beautiful. So he becomes shy at the most inappropriate times.

(Comments and complaints would be very nice to have about now)

Edit: Clothing will be fixed as soon as I can come up with something.

It's not bad, but there are some things I would like to comment on.  I hope you don't take them personally ^^.

Quote
Hair: Short and brown. Yep.


Oh come on.  Anybody can do better than that.  Is it spiky?  Wavy? Straight?  Is it parted in the center?  On the side?  At all?  What shade of brown?  Light?  Dark?  You get the picture  Wink

Clothing: His regular clothes are made of dark leather accompanied by matching gloves and boots. He also usually wears a hat that covers his eyes when he wants to keep them hidden.


 ^_^   I'm sure even somebody who isn't good with describing can do better than that.  What do his 'regular clothes' consist of?  How many layers?  Is it like a shirt, then a vest on top?  Just a shirt?  Just a vest?  How long are the pants?  The boots?  The gloves even?  What is his hat made of?  What shape is it?  Does it have a brim?  Is it a baseball cap?

This should be one of the longest things in the app, barring the personality and biography.

Now for the bio!

Eek!  Vague enough to be readable, yet still annoying.  Could you describe "The Vault" a little more?  Or do you plan on doing that in an rp, like unlocking memories at random times?  Cause that'd be cool.

Me like killing, want description!  Same problem as earlier: it's too vague.  If you could flesh this out a bit, it'd be nice.  Like how many wars could possibly go on in a period of four years?

Quote
He eventually stopped with the endless fighting and now wanders around searching for one thing he hopes to have before he dies: Love.


Once again, a bit vague, though this is a cool idea; to have a reason for living; an ultimate goal.

Quote
Even though he doesn't want to fight anymore he will fight at the drop of a hat if it is to protect himself or someone who deserves protecting.


Understandable.  I don't like how you worded this so much though.  "He doesn't want to fight anymore, but he'll fight at the drop of a hat to protect himself."  Well, duh.  "Or someone who deserves protecting."  Ok, that probably comes from the four year multiple war period, no?

Yay!  Can't have enough of those introverts, eh?  I'm one in real life, but they aren't so fun to roleplay.  My first rping character was one, and he died off quickly.  It's because rping is all about interaction, and extrovert characters.

Hahahaha!!  All the more power to Aq, huh?  Yeah, this is a nice little quirk in his personality.  I like this.  Perfect characters bore me.

Altogether, it's acceptable, but seems a little rushed.  If you could just flesh out some more details and descriptions, this could be really good.  I like the ideas.  Keep working on it Wink

Thanks for the comments. True this was a bit rushed and left out some key things now that I think about it.

It shall be fixed!

Also that thing about the vault is supposed to be uncovered in a RP. It's supposed to STAY a mystery!  So right now it is perfect.

(Fixes will be typed in bold so people will know what has been added)

Um... did you edit that just because I said all the more power to Aq?  She might take that wrong, you know  -_- .

No no! That's what I originally meant to put into the profile. It was late....err, I was drunk!.....err,  I mean someone had a gun to my head!

Truthfully I just forgot to put that in when I was writing this the first time. And now that I look back at it again. I also forgot to add in one MORE thing. Which is 100% true if you were to ask my buddies on World of Warcraft

(True story)
