Alright, since I was unsure of where to post this; since it wasn't really a role-play but it was at the same time:I know confusing. Here is my delima... I have Role-played one character and one character only for the longest time [4 and a half years]. Recently I thought about changing him up a little bit but the little I wanted to change him is actually a big deal since it is one of his weapons. So here is the Profile I use now. NOTE: This is the condensed version since most Semi-Lits don't like to read the full thing!

What I have in bold is what I wish to change.

Username:Sol Masecri

Name: Sol Masecri

Gender: Male

Hair: Black with a purple sheen.

Race: Cereb [Demon]

These creatures were originally birthed from the saliva of the hell dog Cerberus. They became disciples of the King of the Dead and his pet. Whenever a Cereb is born they are engrained with the words "Kill to live" in their mind.For a Cereb to effectively "live" since they are in a sense undead they must consume souls. They are ruled primarily by their religious leaders but there are exceptions to this rule. As of the past century a few Cerebs have become mavericks, their whereabouts are unknown and are presumed dead since they may find it hard to find their source of food other then the River Styx. If a Cereb is to kill an innocent a never healing cut forms somewhere on there body. The Cereb system of punishment is very harsh. For example if a Cereb is found to be staging a rebellion their eyes are cut out. The average life span of a Cereb is unknown but it said to go into the hundreds.

The average full grown Cereb is 7'-0" and Two hundred and fifty pounds. There appearance varies, they could be a pale yellow (the color of sickness), white (the color of death, or black (the color of evil) there have been recorded cases of grey Cerebs. They grow at an extreme rate once they stop growing they are completely matured. Their standard clothing is a black hooded cloak beneath their cloak they wear a huge number of belts the almost completely encompasses their body aside from the hands, feet and head. For foot wear they always wear very large and heavy boots. The Cerebs hair is always black with a purple sheen. Their nails are black and their lips are purple. The color of there eyes are usually black but in a few rare cases they are purple.

A Cerebs personality is usually a very c**ky one but they know when they can and can not win a fight. They will usually only show respect for their superiors or immortals. They are incredibly cold killers and won't put off a second to end the life of their enemies,unless they can torture them first...

Age: 187

Bio:

After a particullary gruesome heading frenzy by Cerberus, Sol was created from the spit that was unleashed later. Sol is the most powerful of all Cerebs but he let that get to his head as he tried to stage a rebellion which failed. He was punished in two ways, the first he had his real sight taken from him and the other more embaressing one was that he became the personal lap dog of Hades. Now his only mission is to send all un-humans back to the underworld where they belong until he himself dies.

Appearance:

Sol's appearence is a wierd one but allow me to speak of his attire first of all. Sol wears a grey cloak that covers his entire body save for his head, it is extremely tattered and there are several rips and tears in it mostly at the bottom. As for his feet he wears large (as worn down) black leather boots that appear as if they haven't been shined in years. Around his eyes he wears again a grey bandana that is also believe it or not tattered and worn down. But the most interesting thing about his choice of those are hundreds of brown leather belts that encompass his entire body except for his hands, feet, neck and head.

But his natural appearence is something quite different. His skin color is a sickly grey.The color of his eyes are actually purple but since they were cut out we won't touch on that. He was left with two long jagged scarres one on each eye. His hair color like most Cerebs is black with a purple sheen and his lips and nails are also purple like they have been deprived of air. His appearence other than that is pretty normal except for the part he is six foot, eight inches tall and only weighs a measily one-hundred and sixty five pounds. Also beneath his belts there are several large cuts that never heal a mark of all the innocents he has killed in his life time.

Weapons:
Sol Carries with him a pair of extremely large hand guns both good on Humans and other Demons of the like, A large 12mm Explosive round firing handgun and a smaller but still large 10mm Silver coated round firing handgun. Both are black with a purple sheen with no distinct traits except for their enormous size. His secondary weapon a Katana that has a black hilt and seems to be forged of silver however it is nearly unbreakable and sucks souls either evil or innocent to the sword it does not matter.


Powers:
Sol has the ability to liquidate into a puddle of dark black sludge it can be used in very many different ways. He can cut holes in the fabric of time and space this also has many uses.

Now after you read that thing here is what I want to change it to...

Weapons:
Sol Carries with him a pair of extremely large hand guns both good on Humans and other Demons of the like, A large 12mm Explosive round firing handgun and a smaller but still large 10mm Silver coated round firing handgun. Both are black with a purple sheen with no distinct traits except for their enormous size. His secondary weapon is a Scythe which is easily eight feet tall; the blade is white with a murky tinge to it that seems to move every now and again somehow. The long Snath is made of some sort of arc carved metal that is cleverly disguised as wood. The blade of the Scythe itself has special properties; it can suck the soul of whom ever it touches evil or innocent it does not matter.

What do you guys think? Keep it the same or change it?

Well, I can only offer two criticisms.
Your character is the strongest Cereb. Why? What makes him different? Why did you choose to make him the strongest?

Second... katanas are overused. Especially since you're using Greek mythology. If you still want an imposing kind of sword, go for a german zweihander.

The sucking soul part that is contained by your weapon on the either one... people are not going to agree... unless its part of their storyline.. or they are always going to find a way to god mod around that since.. you know its like instant death or whatever to human and whatnot.

Why are you guns good on demons? if there just explosive rounds, most just reform or find a way around that.. >.> just my experience on that subject.

Alright answer time!

Buggritall; Simple I created that Race and therefore he is. Katanas are very over-used I know but still that does not reduce the awesomeness that they are.

Xtasisanu: Most people really don't mind I use that sword and the simple fact when I do use it. Which is not very often most people just run so it isn't that big of a deal. The reason my guns are good on Demons is a very simple one. Most of the bastards claim that Holy Objects don't harm them so I use Explosive rounds since they seem to know explosions hurt. Secondly Silver works good on A. Lycans and B. The occasion Vampire RP in which they also die easily from Silver.

I agree that katanas are overused. The worst part is most people who "use" them couldn't point one out. Why not use a greek sword or spear?

I thought about it but it didn't seem to fit the badass personality of Sol.

Wow, Then there not playing demons as in Demonic, there playing the stupid demons off the Inuyasha crap... not really demons there just massive monster that do stupid crap and look ugly. They should be hurt by holy items or spells, thats just my opinion. Its like everyone being half angel half demon, no offense your soul would try to rip its self apart, it would constantly be at war because of the opposites of the spectrum there.

Oh well, good answers... but personally the Scythe is better, because you can make it look like a pole arm then slam the end of it agianst the ground and a massive blade pops out. It can create some really cool rp scenes.
