Welcome to Gaia! ::

We're starting to screen profiles and yours is the first one that is complete aside from Angela's so you get to be the first up for approval!

You may not have noticed but we added an Appearance section in the profile template becuase it was accidentally left out so please go ahead and add that to Raven's profile before we approve her.

Also, I couldn't help but notice that you put Raven has a crush on Rui. First and foremost, I believe the RP is going to open with all the students being new, except for student council members so Raven should not start out knowing Rui--so she can't already have a crush on him when the RP starts. Secondly, you'd really need to ask Mhai if it is okay for her to know him already, to begin with.

But third, we prefer people not to pick out crushes before the RP even gets started. There is no way for you to know off the bat whether Raven is going to like Rui or crush on him because she may end up hating him based on how Mhai RPs him. Crushes, love interests and the like need to be allowed to develop naturally IN the RP rather than people picking out characters from the start and deciding to pursue them. Please remove this and wait for the opportunity in the RP for her to develop a crush. Just remember that our rules state no instant romance. Even if people feel an instant attraction, even a crush takes time to develop and doesn't happen instantly. =3

If you want Raven to know Rui in advance as the birthday thing indicates, please ask Mhai and get her approval first. (Also, as a side note, Angela and Rui are childhood friends so if Raven does end up knowing Rui, it's very possible she would know Angela as well). =3

Enna, the only "issue" I see with your character is something fairly minor--can you explain what you mean by 'low sense of gender difference'? Mhai and I debated and we're not sure if this should count as a flaw or not because we're not sure if you just mean she's kind of androgynous or something.

Otherwise, she's completely fine so as soon as you get that out of the way, I will approve her. ^^

Just to make sure you're aware--Student Council members are able to start out with 1 ability already selected, and Teachers get to start out with two. As soon as Robin gets an ability listed, she is approvable, so please let me know! <3

Bunnie--just checking here but did you leave her Talents section blank on purpose or is she still a WIP?

Alrighty. She is approved now. =3

Angela: Crybaby Rui is accepted emotion_donotwant

Actually I got the idea from Haruhi (Ouran High Host Club). Low sense of gender difference in a way that she'll strike head on even if she's aware that it's something she couldn't handle. She doesn't care much as to whether you're a man or woman. Like instead of asking for help, she will face enemy's alone because she thinks it's not something dependent in one's gender (you know, the idea where girls can't face thugs and all that).


Other thing about it is that because she couldn't see the sense of 'gender' that would somewhat make's her difficult to 'get the point in terms of relationships and stuff. I created the idea that she's the type that couldn't understand why... ummm... an example situation: Ryu hates women... she doesn't get the sense why discriminate thus it could be a start up argument.

Hm. Okay, the top part, I can't really visualize. I mean, most people do that unless they're specifically misogynist or chauvinistic. I honestly do not know anyone who differentiates gender when it comes to altercations, again, unless it's someone who is specifically chauvinistic (like guys who won't hit girls).

Striking something head on, regardless if you can handle it honestly has nothing to do with gender. Angela literally does the same thing and it hasn't got anything to do with gender and more to do with the fact that she's stubborn and reckless.

The last part makes far more sense but at the same time, I can't see it really as a flaw. Think of it like....is it a flaw to not see the point of something others enjoy? I don't see the point of football but that doesn't mean something is wrong with me, really. The only way this would be a flaw is if she was like fanatical about making other people the same way, or did things like try to use the boy's bathroom because she doesn't care about gender dichotomy and has no issues with privacy for that reason.

See what I'm saying? Low sense of gender differences seems more like a normal character trait than a real flaw and it's kind of vague.

Having said all that, I'm going to approve her because she has four other valid flaws and, really, the character is otherwise perfect so I'm not going to worry about something that trivial. Just keep in mind for future characters that if a flaw is vague, it will probably need a logical explanation listed before we approve it.

Anyway, she's approved so you can post your character thread now. =3
