Welcome to Gaia! ::

DSW: sorry, but in the long run, -50 energy isnt a whole lot...
and he's a sword master, taking away his 1 hand to hand styles isnt really going to hurt him that much, denied

How about I just give it a +1 to speed and strength and take out -75 of energy?

RPC Name: Shilon Travanis
Rank: Trainee
Bloodline and Class: Dreadnought and Knight
Talent Description: Talent is that Shilon can create pillars of invisible energy that shoot out from various points on his body. They are only equal in rank to Shilon's rank and below, and can extend various distances. {Range: Five feet to to twenty feet} The pillars are one of three widths: Five inch by Five Inch, foot by foot, or five feet by five feet. There are a few places that Shilon can create and shoot these pillars out from - the palms of his hands, the backs of his elbows, and the bottoms of his feet. The pillars launch relatively fast. (Speed 7 or 8 ) However the force from these pillars is rather weak, only as strong as a punch from a normal human (Strength 6) not enough to do deadly damage until Shilon's stores of energy reach B rank. When Shilon becomes an expert the speed of the pillars increases a rank as does the strength. This means a few things: One, he has extended range beyond what normal Knights have. Two, if he launches a pillar from the back of his elbow as he is punching or stabbing with his sword his strike gains a +1 in strength. If he shoots pillars from his feet as he runs he gains a temporary boost of +1 in speed for one post. He can also jump great distances, or walk on the pillars as if they were stilts - of course this only lasts two posts.
Talent Weakness: Shilon has lost his ability to use elemental energy (earth, fire, water, wind). This is because he has focused his energy on natural energy. Seers can see these energy pillars. To use this talent takes equal to one normal technique of the same rank. Additionally, to use this ability the mentioned spots on his armor have to be non-existent. Meaning, the palms of his gloves, bottom of his feet, and his elbows all are uncovered.
How did the character get this talent:
Shilon did not know that people could use elemental energy. So instead when he began practicing with his innate energy, he worked on mastering that and using it to its fullest extent. This had the result that over time he learned how to create pillars of pure unnatured energy, and uses this energy and these energy pillars in ways that normal people can't comprehend. However, this has had the result that Shilon has purged his energy of any elemental leaning it might have had, robbing him of using elemental magic as most people would.

Sample:
Shilon stood near the edge of the woods, his large form blurred by the shadows of the forest. His attention was on a group of bandits - vile, repulsive men who had taken to raiding outlying farms. They had a young man, a captive, in their midst and were torturing him.
And the Knight could not stand that. His code of honour demanded that he take action, and so he would. He closed his eyes and began focusing his energy beneath his feet.
Then he burst from the trees, thrusting his right foot down and launching himself forwards. He covered the distance surprisingly fast for someone his size - the pillar of energy that erupted from the base of his foot propelled him onwards at speeds he would normally be hard-pressed to match. Just as he was slowing down from that lunging step he pushed off with his left, shooting him forwards the last of the gap. As he moved he had drawn his broadsword and held it out in front of him.
The Dreadnought's lunge was cut short when he ran into the nearest bandit and speared him on his sword. The Knight didn't bother trying to pull his sword out - another bandit was jumping at him from the left. Shilon thrust his left hand out, backhanding the man with his shield and sending him flying. Then a third jumped straight at the armored warrior - only to be caught in the stomach by what felt like a cube, and thrown backwards. The knight pulled his hand back - that third pillar had erupted from his right palm, empty since the dead bandit had pulled the Knight's sword with him as he crumpled to the ground. There was only one left now - but this man was armored heavily, almost as much as Shilon himself was. He grinned, thinking that the Knight would not be able to hurt him since he hadn't bothered getting his sword.
Shilon punched at him, his armored fist clenched tight. The first blow dented the armor, but didn't quite hurt the bandit inside. The Dreadnought pulled back bringing his shield up into the way to catch the retaliation strike from the bandit then focused himself once more. He shoved the bandit back with his shield, opening him up for a strike. Shilon's right fist shot forward, a pillar erupting from his elbow. The pillar pushed the Knight's fist forward harder than before, giving the punch enough force to punch through the armor and into the bandit.
Then Shilon had to pull his fist from the man's body, his face contorted in a distasteful expression that couldn't be seen because of the helmet. He shook off the gore clinging to the metal and relaxed his hand, then went to retrieve his blade.
Unfortunately when Shilon checked the captive, he had died from the torture that the bandits had put him through. Furious, the large warrior went around the bandit clearing, using his blade to slice off the heads of the bandits to ensure that they were dead. That gruesome task done, Shilon returned to Pronta, saddened that he had not been fast enough to save the prisoner.

RPC Name: Demitrius Weaver
Rank: Adept
Bloodline & Class: Arachnoid Biochemist
Talent Description: User is able to use water element skills as well as their natural earth skills.
Talent Weakness: User losses ability to sub class and the ability to learn hand to hand combat.
How did the character get this talent?: While attempting to make a potion to transmute earth to water and vice versa a chemical reaction occurred that caused the potion to become a gas that Demitrius unknowingly inhaled. The result was that his affinity for earth magic was changed into an affinity for earth and water magic.
Sample: Demitrius shook his head as he shifted on his seat and looked at his potions, with a frown he noticed there was not enough water in the beaker beneath his feather potion. With a smooth motion he sent a stream of water into the beaker before turning and moving to a cage with a liquid mass in it that shifted slightly in the light even as he reached out a hand and created a whip of water to strike the beast and anger it causing it’s color to change into a reddish hue. Nodding he returned to his potions and began considering which to work on next. Nodding as he reviewed his ideas he lifted a mass of earth and water before mixing them together until a mass of mud was flowing sluggishly in front of him. He slowly formed the mud into a ball before sending it hurtling at the red beast and watched as it burst against the bars of the cage and the monster shrunk back from the bars. He grinned as he created more mud and worked on manipulating it into a number of shapes, adding and drawing out the water to make it solid earth or watery.

accepted

Wulf: Srin's talent is denied.
The effect is not only more like a skill, but it is too OP
With the carapace hardening, which is incedibley OP, he would lose speed, not gain it. Becoming insane is not a true weakness, especially when you can say "his daughter is keeping him from going mental".

This would make your RPC incredibly OP and is denied. No further changes can be made to try and change it, it's done...

And wasnt Sin, that demon thing, a talent?
Just cause your character dies and his talent "escapes" doesnt mean he gets a new one.

Ino's talent, which was never approved,
Is also denied.
Duel classing will never happen, even is you get some minor defaults.
The reason we have sub-classing is to allow for this kind of thing. Talents will not be allowed to have duel classing or change anything on the sub-classing rules.

Note, I will be bringing the fact that you are RPing with an unapproved talent to crew.

@Ron: Approved
@DSW: Approved. Thanks for making the edits.
@Wolf: Denied. There's not enough weakness to offset your strength.
@Arashi: There's still no sample.
