What category do you want to be staff for?
Uhh, can't it be a little of everything?
A good sample of some of your original work in this category previously.
DGwar Highborn[ Righteous | Holy | Lawful ] History:
Its uncertain exactly how the highborn came to be. Some say it was from angels mating with humans, others say they descend from angels who decided to leave the heavens to better protect those in need, and never returned, and yet others say that they where given a blessing by a deity to bring good back into the world, and fight off evil. They hail from a distant land known as Ar'Arkaedon. Their numbers few, they travel the lands helping those in need, eliminating evil, and punishing the wicked. Tales of the highborn have described them as being living myths, invincible, and full of righteous fury. These tales also have led to many highborn to attempt to keep their identity a secret. Doing their good deeds in secret, or wearing hoods and masks.
Description:
Highborn's posses markings on their body which are visible moments after birth to signify their caste. At birth they are gifted with an element which they use for its entire long lifespan. Some say the child chooses the element, others say the element is the one who does the choosing. There are very few living today that can read and interpret the tattoos at a glance. Highborn are often mistaken for humans, although they have supernatural beauty. They possess great strengths and powers although they are often limited by laws and faith. Visible characteristics of an highborn include near perfect beauty, full body runes which resemble tattoos, and their white hair. They are also nearly immortal. Usually only battle or several millennia can do them in.
Rules for the Highborn:The Highborns of Axiom start off as humans, then during training or a battle, begin the transformation. This is usually in the form of gaining the runic tattoos, their hair turning white, or accidentally using holy magic instead of an elemental one. The transformation can be a quick one or a slow one depending on the individual.
The Highborn cannot kill another Highborn. This is considered a great sin by them, and in doing so will cause them to lose all their bloodline powers and abilities, making them a mortal human once more.
Weaknesses:They tend to rely more on speed then actual strength. (-1 to Str)
They are lawful. Although, whether its the law of the lands, or more of a code they have set for themselves is up to the individual.
As a heavenly race, they posses a scent which beings such as lycanthropes or vampires can smell. Often giving away your presence. (Scent is faint, and sweet smelling. Said to almost smell like honey, vanilla, and lavender.)
Your ability to sense other's emotions can be troublesome when you are trying to concentrate.
Your righteous fury can cause you to battle so fiercely you get weakened for a time ranging from a couple hours to a day.
Can only be Swordmaster, Cleric, Paladin, Mage, Bard, Berserker or Gunslinger.
More susceptible to attacks from the element opposite to your chosen element. This also includes shadow magic.

Additional Comments:
The nature of the highborn makes it hard for them to stay in one nation for too long. Although they may have allegiances to a single nation, they will roam in search of people in need or evil to smite. As most of their skills are open for interpretation, almost every individual is unique. Most highborn have similar magic styles, although the way it is used can vary drastically. As a side note, you are immortal, not invincible. Meaning you live forever, unless someone kills you.
Restrictions:
As a rare race, they have limited numbers for use. (Three)
-Race Created by DGwar DGwar Living Doll[ Sinister | Deadly | Secretive ] History:
The history of these little beings is hard to determine. However, it is believed that they were created from a voodoo spell gone horribly wrong. Through an attempt to create a living voodoo minion, a witchdoctor cast a powerful spell. However, he gave the doll part of his soul. The doll came to life as expected, but to the surprise of the witchdoctor it obeyed no one but itself. The first living doll brutally killed it's master, going on to create more like it. Now these abominations can be seen many places, although most tend to remain hidden.

(It is generally wise to get permission from an individual before doing this, however it is not needed.)
-Race Created by DGwar with minor additions from X_Oxy_X. Quote: RPC Name:
Kaelrikk Cross
Rank:
Trainee
Class:
Swordmaster
Weapon Armor name:
Retribution Armor
Type:
Armor
Description:
Retribution armor is a rare and special enchanted armor that can do some pretty amazing things. It is made out of a lightweight metal similar to mithril, yet golden in color. It is enchanted to increase the users abilities, and allow for the use of certain skills. It has two modes, passive, and active. It costs C Rank energy to activate. Takes one post to activate. Costs nothing to deactivate. Takes one post to deactivate.
Passive: Looks like an armored pauldron, arm, and gauntlet of the right arm. The armor also belts over to the armored belt, running from the shoulder to the left side. A gold cross sits on the chest on the belts. There are also armored shinguards.
Passive Abilities: None, other than help Kael focus his talent.
Active: The armor covers the whole body, keeping the cross in the chest, and covering the head. The eye-slits glow with white light.
(Kinda looks like this [x] only gold and white.)
Active Abilities: Allows the use of special skills.
((I plan on getting the skills approved individually))
Kaelrikk received this armor after pledging to remain in purgatory instead of going to heaven unless he fulfilled his personal goal of fighting evil until the world was much safer, because of this reason he was allowed the retribution armor by an angel who pitied him in hopes it would help him with this pledge.
Sample:
Kaelrikk crashed through the straw roof of the hut as the giant laughed. Clearly it was too strong for him, or was it? "Lets try this again." He said as he focused energy into his arm. The armor flashed a bright white glow for a split second, and the transformation began. The armor began to slide out from the pieces already in place, covering his whole body in a matter of seconds. The mask shut down over his face, and the armor flashed white with light one more showing the transformation was completed. The black eye slits glowing with white light.
"Come here you big oaf!" He yelled as he ran at the giant once more.
I can find more if needed.
