Welcome to Gaia! ::

All about Claymores
Appearance: Always a girl. All Claymores are blond with silver swirled eyes, every single one, with tall skinny frames that have disfigured torsos that are unappealing to humans. Their armor consists of a full-body suit that hides all but their head and hands, with a spiked skirt mail on their hips, rounded shoulder armor that holds a cape that reaches mid thigh.
Around their neck they wear a bit of cloth with the symbol that they are known by. Claymores can go a week with out food and water, and only need to eat once every two days comfortably. They used to have male claymore, but the male body was too prone to Awakening when they used their power that they stopped creating them for fear of filling the world with
terrible creatures.
The Yoma Inside: To become a Claymore, you must place the blood and flesh of a Yoma inside your body, the transformation to a half-Yoma being is extremely painful. After training a Claymore is sent on missions.
All Claymores have a Certain amount of Yoma Power in them, and when released it shows on the body. When ten percent is released, their eyes turn yellow, then as they go higher, the body distorts. Finally the face turns demon-like and distorted as well by the time you reach your limits. The Yoma Power prevents Claymores from aging, but they are few
because they die on missions often, or sacrifice yourself when you reach your limits.
Limits: There is only so much power a Claymore can release without turning into a Yoma themselves. When a claymore reaches Limit and is no longer able to turn back, they will often, while still in control of their human mind, seek out or send a black card the person they wish to kill them most. A Claymore would rather die than become a monster. There are exceptions to the Limits, When some form of outside influence, such as a caring friend, who can draw you back from your limits, tuning you into a
half-Awakened being.


Announcement!
I will be accepting ONE male Claymore into my story. Rules for being a male Claymore.
1) You must have an explanation as to WHY you are still around and how you've escaped Organization notice.
2) You must be literate, and provide proof of your literacy in your profile
3) Send all profiles to me under MC
4) You will need a reason why you have managed to remain human and how long you have been a Claymore
You will not have a rank, but you will be fairly strong. You are not a god though.
You will be introduced after this fight, and you may choose to stay a solitary Claymore, or you can join a group, therefore exposing yourself.
I will review your posts and PM you if you qualify or not.
You only have one shot at a good profile.

Rules
1.) This will be a mostly litterate RP, where one-liners need to be few and far between.
2.) Most or some of the characters are in-and-out types, so this only needs to be constant for a few (the three pre-made characters deffinately.) Only choose a main character if you plan to be on at least every few days (2-3).
3.) Absolutly NO god-modding, it is completly inappropriate. If I see it, I will remove you permanently, from all future RP's (if any). If you feel that you don't like the situations, LIVE WITH IT! We have to live with things we don't like, and chances are it will probably get fixed later.
4.) PG-13- there may be romance, but probably not with any of the Claymores for pre-mentioned reasons. Romance of any type (i.e. Straight, Bi, Gay, Lesbian) is allowed, but absolutly no cyber.
5.)Language needs to be kept appropriate, on some levels, don't abuse the right to use it, or I will forbid it. If it is forbidden and you still continue, I WILL remove you.
6.) Rules may change as story progresses, If I do change anything, there will be a post that tells you and what was ammended.
7.) Please send in your profiles and desires to play parts to me under "Claymore." Just cause you asked for the part doesn't mean you'll get it, unless you are the only applicant.
8.) You are welcome to use these symbols and character names as a base for your characters.
9.) Emopunk14 is the mod in my RP and will have the right to report, or even nix you from here if she wants.

Clad in battle-worn, steel armor, Erik portrays the mercenary postor boy. He has Blue Eyes and Brown Hair, with a blonde spot in his hair(It's a birthmark). He looks bored, mostly because guarding an unattacked trade route is not how he envisioned his career ending up.
Age:17

A Claymore managed to hold off the beast until Erik esacped, finding refuge at a monk's sancuary. He's learned to fight with both his hands and feet, and also a sword. He is constanly looking for more exicting jobs, so much to the point where is any job involes fighting, he'll do it for free.
Weapon: His fists do most of the talking, but he also carries a sword that was imbued by the monks' mysterious power. Unknown to him, this weapon proves lethal to awakened beasts and can even stop Awakenings. This will hopefully come in handy someday.

Aiya began to walk into a small town. It was mid morning and she need to purchase a few things from the market. She walked to one of the booths and spoke to a young woman a little older than herself.
"You should hurry and get out of this town." The woman spoke softly.
"Why's that?" Aiya asked ash she looked over the knives and other instruments on the table.
"There is a whole group of claymores here. We've counted four so far, one arrived this morning. Just before you did."
Aiya lifted a beautiful blade, "How much?" She was intrigued by the news of claymores. For five minutes she talked to the girl and finally went away with a decent price for the blade. She made her way to other booths buying other supplies before taking in the little town.
