Ack, I just noticed your weapon combination. We already have someone with dual katanas, and a wakazashi is too close ><;; You'll need a different weapon or weapon pair.

I'm trying to stick with the samurai theme, which includes japanese style weaponry. Naginata is pretty close to what my original idea was, so I'll go with it.

Bio: Reikon was, from a young age, determined to make the world a better place, even if not for himself. He trained for years to master his swordsmanship, and broke almost every bone in his body along the way. He lost his Heart to a powerful Heartless, but unlike most Nobodies, he has no desire to have it back. He sees his current state as punishment for his failure, as well as an opportunity to fight on a new front.He seeks to rid teh wrolds of their evils, and if he is still alive at the end of it, he plans to destroy himself.
Sample Post:
Reikon sighed and drew his blades slowly. Time and again he'd fought them, these meager Heartless and Nobodies. And time and again they stood in his path. They fell easily, his blade splitting thier bodies, passing through them as easily as they might pass through air itself, as they always did. Reikon had trained for much of his human life to bea warrior, and now he was only a warrior, his only purpose being the ending of lives. They were no match for him, a living force of nature, and man with no fear of death and the resolve to carry out his plan. He wondered if, had they the power, the Nobodies would have feared him. He wondered if the Heartless would ever realized that he would never stop hunting them. That was his goal, to rid the worlds of the cancerous diseases ot the Heartless and Nobodies. He would destroy every last Heartless and Nobody, inculding himself. He too was an abomination, a being not meant to be. It was his duty, if he survived to see hsi plan through, to destroy himself. And even that, held no fear or joy for him, he reflected. He would not suffer doubt, never question his own resolve. That, he thought, must be one of the few perks to losing one's heart.
alright, anythign else?

Heartfelt AdventureName: Nicholas [X]
Nickname: Nick
Birthday: 4/28 17 years old
Gender: Male
Height: 6'1
Weight: About 210
Body Type: Not fat, but not skinny either. Somewhere in the middle.
Skin type: Light, but tans quickly.
Eye Color: Sapphire Blue
Hair Color: Dark blonde
Unusual Body Parts/Markings: Has a scar on his right pinky.
Had surgery on his right leg, so surgery scars by the ankle.
Scar on hand from cutting himself by mistake.
Accesories: Nick wears rounded rectangular glasses for his nearsightedness. He also has a necklace with a dragon around his neck, wings spread out and the tail curled. It has a red gem in the right eye socket, and the eye socket on the left is empty. He refers to the dragon as 'Sebastian'. On his right hand, Nick wears a bead bracelet to remind him to be at peace, and to avoid violence unless absolutely necessary.
Theme Song(s):
Significant Trait: Sarcastic/Manipulative
Quotes:
"You want me to make you a sandwich? Poof, you're a freaking sandwich."
"What? All I hear is you being wrong."
"I'm a lover, not a fighter! I'm also a notorious liar."
Good/Evil: Evil? Good? They're just words...
Class: Lanista
Weapon: Blade Gauntlets
Element: Wind
Stats: Attack Strength: 8
Attack Speed: 9
Magic Strength: 7
Magic Defense: 7
Guard Strength: 8
Evasive Reflexes: 5
Outright Speed: 4
Constitutional Endurance: 8
Energy: 7
Attack Abilities:
Bloodsworn Strike- Nick sacrifices a part of his HP to damage his foe.
Sword of the Damned- Nick uses his blade to drain the foe's health and gives it back to himself. Nick can also do this without his weapons by grabbing the foe. It drains more, but leaves him unprotected from attacks.
Manabane- Similar to Sword of the Damned, Nick instead drains mana from his opponent and returns it to himself. Like Sword of the Damned, he can do this without his weapons by grabbing summoned, but it leaves him unprotected.
Veil of Shadows- Nick swipes his opponent, possibly blinding them as well. [Has a chance of casting Blind on the foe.]
Oblivion- Nick gathers HP from those around him, then strikes the foe for massive damage.
Support Abilities
Battle Charge- Nick creates a gentle wind to to boost the target's speed for two posts.
Aeromancy- Thanks to Chaos, Nick has basic control of wind.
Blade Guardian- Nick summons Chaos' four swords, spinning around himself to block a person from passing or a physical attack. The only downside is that it can only take a few hits before vanishing, so it's an 'if all else fails' sort of thing.
Adrenaline Rush- Nick uses the power of the winds to grant him a speed boost for four turns. It's more effective than Battle Charge, but Nick can only cast it upon himself.
Leap of Faith- Nick propels himself 15 feet into the air to attack or escape.
Portal of Darkness- Since Nick is in-tune with the power of the Darkness, he is able to open dark portals with ease.
Passive Abilities:Second Wind- When Nick is knocked down to zero hp, he will fall unconscious for a moment, then wake up at half health and mana. He can only do this once per battle, and it is very taxing if he has to continue fighting down to the bare wire.
Limit Breaks: Tornado- Nick invokes the power of Chaos, summoning Chaos' four blades and having each one crash into the earth in a different shape before summoning a giant and powerful tornado to sweep away anyone caught in its path.
Blade Spin- Nick spins rapidly, firing off smaller gusts of wind all around. These winds can knock back foes and can prevent most physical attacks from reaching him.
Drive Form(s): Chaos Form: Chaos takes possesion of Nick's body, amplifying his wind powers. Nick's eyes will entirely glow green and etheral green horns will form on his head. His voice becomes distorted as well, speaking as if two people are speaking at the same time: Nick's normal voice, and a low, dark voice. Chaos also grants his host a few new powerful abilities.
Weapon Enhancement: Nick's blade gauntlets are dispelled and unsummonable, and Chaos' four swords are summoned and used as weapons instead.
Additional Attributes: Attack Strength +3, Attack Speed and Outright Speed +2, Evasive Reflexes and Magic Strength +1
Additional Abilities:Aeros Fury- Chaos goes on a psycho attack spree, slashing insanely and switching off between his four swords.
Maelstrom Armor- Chaos coats himself in a thin layer of razor wind, making physical attacks less effective and causes some harm to the attacker.
Finale Ultimo- Chaos summons his blades, forming them into the shape of a x around the opponents. Chaos channels his magic through the four points of the swords and forms a giant tornado centered between the sword 'barrier'. it can be used only once before Chaos goes dormant and relinquishes control to Nick.
Strengths: Clever | Intelligent | Passionate
Weaknesses Unfocused | Overemotional | No self esteem | Stubborn
Personality: Nick is very calm and very quiet, as he doesn't socialize often. He is generally off by himself, daydreaming of outlandish or creative ideas for stories. He is very polite to others in general, but doesn't usually initiate the conversation unless he has a reason to. Nick doesn't like to tell people when he's got a problem. He'll take the pain of others, whether it be a lone person with a personal issue or a group of people fighting, to keep the peace. He also prefers jokes of a darker taste, and doesn't like to be questioned about his personal life.

His dad left his mom when he was three, and they moved north from their home in Orange County up to Santa Cruz County, where he lived the majority of his life. His older sister, to he's only half related, remained in Orange County. Nick visited her often, and hated the cold of Santa Cruz.
When it came to his father, he was mostly estranged due to the constant fights and lies. He hates his father, and doesn't say much about him when asked. Nick also dislikes his two younger siblings, but doesn't hate them like he hates his father. He was driving home after a game of poker, when the Heartless came...And his life was changed...forever! *dun dun dun*
Summon: Chaos
Summon Element: Wind
Summon Appearance: Chaos 1 Chaos 2
Summon Personality: Chaos is very calm mannered when not summoned, but can become wild and agitated. He comes off quite sarcastic, and doesn't treat Nick like a master, which adds to Nick's frustrations. Their agreement is...mutual. Chaos supplies the power, Nick supplies the body.

I don't think Driving with your summon will amplify ANYTHING tenfold. Change that.
EDIT: Also, aren't Blade gauntlets a bit close to Katars? It's essentially the same thing, but with gauntlets involved. I'm just pointing that out, mods have the final say.

The Blade Gauntlets are definitely different enough, considering we allowed a spear and a trident, or a Greatsword and a Broad Sword, at the same time.

Earthling Template Name: Alan
Birthdate: March 31, 1988
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Height: 5'10”
Weight: 180
Body Type: Somewhat muscley
Skin type: Light but not pale
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Brown
Hair Style: Shoulder length, curly.
Unusual Markings: None.
Clothing: Alan was wearing simple white pants, a black buttoned up shirt, and a brown corduroy jacket when the event occurred.
Significant Trait: Inquisitive
Quotes:
Well, yeah. This is about aesthetics.
Hm? Tea? Oh! Hang on, I'll get the kettle.
I just want to be able to know I was able to help people. I don't want to die without making some kind of positive impact.
I don't like the word 'romance'. It has . . . unpleasant connotations.
Good/Evil/Other: Good
Element: Fire
Weapon: Tome (Jehuti)
Job Class: Black Mage
Stats: Attack Strength: 2
Attack Speed: 3
Magic Strength: 9
Magic Defense: 8
Guard Strength: 4
Evasive Reflexes: 6
Outright Speed: 4
Constitutional Endurance: 9
Energy: 9
Attack Abilities:
Fira- A basic fire-elemental attack spell.
Meltdown: The ambient temperature increases to intolerable levels, burning all within range of the oppressive heat. Almost impossible to avoid, but not targeted. Heat doesn't distinguish allies from enemies.
Undying One: Alan conjures a figure made entirely of fire to fight on his behalf. This figure can take any form, but Alan prefers to conjure imitation Phoenixes in honor of his summon.
Blizzara- An elementary ice-elemental attack spell.
Thundara- A basic thunder-elemental attack spell.
Watera- A basic water-elemental attack spell.
Aerora- A basic wind-elemental attack spell.
Quake- A basic earth-elemental attack spell.
Support Abilities:
Counterspell- Cancels magic effects.
Fire Shield-Alan conjures a plume of flame, similar to the fire conjured for Fira, that orbits around him, making him difficult to engage in melee.
Passive Abilities:
From the Ashes- Phoenix stores a tiny bit of Alan's life foce within itself, to be returned when Alan is near death. The amount of life lost isn't enough to impact his combat abilities, but when he would ordinarily die, it's just enough to revitalize him. Alan is very weak after being revitalized, only clinging to life by the thinest of margins, and is in no condition to fight. It's also easily possible for one of his enemies to finish him off in this state, which means that it's usually advisable to play dead (which is usually quite believable, considering the circumstances). It does, however, enable him to survive when it should be impossible.
Limit Breaks:
Doublecast: Enables the use of dual-elemental spells.Phoenix Heart- Alan and nearby allies begin glowing as if coated in embers. They become red-hot to the enemies' (though not allies') touch, and their attacks deal fire damage. In addition, this spell reignites its targets' spirit, making them stronger and faster and giving them a healing factor.
Drive Form(s):
Strengths: Magical power, ability to use all six elements, staying power / endurance.
Weaknesses: Weak physical attack, low speed, refuses to fight dirty.
Personality: Alan spends most of his time in the exclusive company of his own thoughts. Consequently, he can come across as unconcerned, withdrawn, or generally weird. Most of the time, he seems bemused and oddly sleepy. However, he also has an extroverted side that manifests once he gets to like you, which can take some time. The best way to draw him into the outside world is a serious intellectual conversation about something that interests him. He simply can't resist the urge to join in.
Alan sometimes has trouble fitting in with social groups, and is often bad at reading the mood of a crowd. In fact, crowds in general bother him and he tries to avoid them. Still, he has a good sense of when people are feeling down, and makes a point to try to help people out if he can.
Flaws:
Shy around strangers
Over-competitive
Distractable
Moody
Procrastinator
Bad at handling rejection or disapproval
Over-thinks everything
Jealous
Over-sensitive
Argumentative
Likes: Tea; good food and drink generally; his friends; learning; weird, counter intuitive ideas; long walks; a good story; terrible puns; helping people; the beauty in common things; slow-paced, relaxed days; cooking.
Dislikes: Losing; precise, finicky manual work; change (he has trouble keeping up with it); rudeness; stupidity; having to get up in the morning; being wrong; young children
Fears: Aging; poison; his own insignificance
Family: Mother, father, and maternal grandmother.
Bio: Before the current crisis, Alan was a college undergrad who aspired to enter law school and become a defense attorney so that he could help people in need. Alan's interests were wide ranging, and he had at least a conversational competency on many scholarly subjects. He had a small group of friends he was fairly close to, but was generally socially awkward around strangers, and spent much of his time alone.
Alan was a competent martial artist before the event, and still knows how to think like a fighter, but due to the nature of his 'weapon', he is no longer really a physical fighter. In fact, his strength and speed haven't increased at all compared to his pre-event state.
Summon: Phoenix
Summon Appearance: A bird, about the size of a large bird of prey, with red plumage. Her most noticeable trait is the fact that she's obviously on fire. Despite the fire, however, Phoenix is not hot to the touch unless she wishes to be. Moreover, the fire will not spread from Phoenix unless Phoenix herself wishes it to.
Summon Personality: Phoenix goes through life cycles from birth to death to rebirth, which take about fifty years. Over the course of that life cycle, her personality changes in similar ways that a human's does over his or her lifespan. Right now, Phoenix is a hatching, only as old as when Alan first summoned her. She has the intelligence of an adult human, but is very child-like and playful.
Sample Post:
Alan drew himself a little closer to the warmth of his campfire and a little further away from the cold of night. He fidgeted around for a little, trying to find a comfortable position, before ultimately settling on sitting on a largish rock with his left side facing the fire, using his jacket to capture its heat.
At least, he thought as he stared off into space, the forest is pretty. You didn't get a view like this in the city. This really was one of the greatest pleasures the wilderness had to offer.
For his part, Alan was just grateful that he had his magic. It had only been a few days, and already he was almost dependent on it. He really wasn't sure if he would have survived this long without the arcane secrets contained within the pages of Jehuti. He certainly would never have been able to start that fire.
A figure approached the fire. Alan glanced over at him, sizing him up. He couldn't make out his features from the silhouette, but he looked like a human, at least. A welcome break, in other words, from the Heartless.
Alan and his anonymous guest glanced at each-other for a while, each waiting for the other to speak first. Finally, Alan decided to break the awkward silence. He cleared his throat.
“Hey,” he said, “um, can I help you?”
