Welcome to Gaia! ::

The only thing I see as a possible issue now is your passive Shift. Does she have no control over here body changing, or is it something she chooses to do? If her body changes without her saying so, then it's a Passive; if it's something she does on purpose, then it should be a Support.

Otherwise, everything looks good! Just answer that and I'll post it up for you.

The shifting occurs by natural instinct. She does not control it. If she tried to control it would work for a short amount of time like 5 minutes at most. Even then it would hurt her.

Strengths: Agility, stealth, speed, parkour/free running
Weaknesses: Usually needs the element of surprise, casters/ranged, high defense, movement impairing effects, and time

Personality: Dark appears to be very calm and speaks coldly; harsh and direct without any remorse for the other person’s feelings. He is very vengeful and spiteful and can be easily angered. He’s quite zealous about carrying out his desire to take vengeance on man for what they have done to him. Because of the trauma he endured watching his family die, Dark is an alter ego and he is at times seen speaking to himself and addressing himself as Krad, and as a result sometimes hesitates or has difficulty going against his previous nature of light.

Family: Deceased…

Bio: There was a time when darkness and vengeance did not cloud Dark’s mind. A simpler and happier time when even during the more difficult times everything was, in its fullest definition, good. Though at this time he was known as Krad, a husband and a father of two daughters who had given up a life of thievery for a more modest livelihood as a fruit vendor. However, this all changed when the Heartless attacked…

One night, as the family was getting ready to go to bed, Bandit and Pot Spider Heartless appeared in their home and attacked. Their calls for help fell on deaf ears of late-night passerbyers The Heartless started with Krad’s wife and took her heart. His daughters were next. He watched as the hearts of his family were taken from them right before his eyes, and then were turned into beady-eyed Shadow Heartless. Finally, they set their eyes on the man, though he’d prove to be a challenge.

Filled with rage, Krad attacked and obliterated the Heartless, releasing their hearts. Once all the Heartless were slain, Krad made it his personal agenda to find and kill all the Heartless he can. Though little did he know how dark the path of vengeance was. The more he sought out the Heartless, the more the darkness was drawn to his fury and hatred until his heart became tainted.

Sooner or later, the darkness began to twist his view of vengeance. Questions such as “why the Heartless first came to Agrabah” and “why didn’t anyone come to their aid” began to fill his head. No longer was it to seek out the Heartless and obliterate them, but to seek out those responsible for bringing the Heartless here and allowing his family to die. It was the darkness within man’s heart that brought the Heartless and it was their negligence the cost him his family.

Henceforth, Krad began to identify himself a Dark—his alter ego created to help him better deal with the trauma faced when his family was killed and to carry out his new agenda—and no longer sought out the Heartless to obliterate (after all, they are mindless and instinctual beings), rather to control and use to attack others and punish them for their negligence and purge them of the darkness in their hearts.

Sample Post:

“It was terrible…,” said a rather frightened palace guard as he was helped to a chair. ”He… he came out of nowhere… out of the darkness…” Images of fellow palace guards being sliced into by a seemingly invisible opponent or being swooped into the shadows flashed in the palace guard’s mind. ”All I saw was the glimmer from his blades before he attacked and the reflection of our fearful eyes staring back at us…” Another guard brought the frightened soldier a cup of water. The guard nodded, thanking the man before taking a sip. ”He wasn’t… he wasn’t human.”

Suddenly, there was a yelp from outside, then silence. The guards in the room came to attention, drawing their blades and staring at the door, the only entrance to the room they were in. ”It’s him!” shouted the frightened guard as he dropped his cup of water and stumbled away from his chair. ”He’s come to finish the job!” One of the palace guard, frustrated at the guard’s cowering, turned and shouted, ”Will you shut up and man--?!” His sentence was cut short and his words became gargled as blood filled his throat. The man spun around, revealing a throwing knife lodged in the back of his neck, before keeling over.

The door to the room swung open and a wave of sand rushed in, grabbing and pulling at the guards, slamming them into the walls. The sand impaled the guards and crushed them until they were all dead… except for one. The frightened guard from earlier cowered behind the chair, his face buried in the ground. A trail of sand slithered passed the corpses and into a small gourd hanging off the belt of a darkly dressed man. His footsteps filled the room as the man approached the cowering guard, each step increasing the anxiety the guard felt.

The man stopped right before the palace guard, who lifted his head slowly until his gaze fell upon the man’s face. ”At least tell me your name…,” said the guard before lowering his head again. ”At least have the dignity to answer me before you kill me…” The mysterious man crouched and placed his left hand on the palace guard’s head, which caused him to jump, the edge of his lips narrowing into a smirk behind his scarf. The man lowered his scarf, revealing his face, then said, ”My name… use to be Krad. But now, I am called Dark, for I am the result of the darkness resonating within man’s heart…” With a writhe of his pinky, the locking mechanism in his vambrace was released, allowing the spring system to shoot forth the hidden blade and impale the guard’s skull, then retract.

The palace guard fell the ground and Dark rose to his feet. His smirk slowly turned back to a neutral expression as he covered his face once again with his scarf, then stepped back and disappeared into a portal made of darkness.

Shush, Raz! D< ...he's no longer Gaara, emo of the sand anymore... minus the abilities to control sand.

'Kay! Profile has been edited! I remembered a few things about Dark from his original profile so i added those in. Major changes are the biography and personality.

APPROVED! APROVED!

*Gets shot, set on fire, and destroyed*

Yes, Mathy officially withdrew, I would not have allowed Michelle to audition for Ramuh had that not been the case. Since I am the one who helped create the profile I of course do approve. Though unless absolutely necessary my vote should not be counted since well she is my wife XD

Thought of an additional attack ability I would like to audition for, it hit me like a no brainier as the natural offensive course that my support ability Charge it up would inspire me to take.

• Short Circuit-Michelle sends a strong current of electromagnetic energy from herself to her enemy targeting their central nervous system and their neural network in an effort to overload their natural functions and cause a temporary short circuit. Chance of Disable/Cripple/Addle/Confusion (Michelle rolls for which of the 4 is being chanced, and the enemy rolls to see if it inflicts). Requires direct skin-to-skin contact due to the delicate balances she is trying to interrupt, she can't just blast lightning at them form a distance she needs to be right there utilizing Electromancy.

For the record, James, your most recent post is one of the most confusing thing's I've read in awhile.

Also, approved of the profile and the added ability; already edited it in.

Gaara Dark approved.
