Her eyes are almost the same shade of pink only a tad darker. She has fair skin. Talyon stands to be about 4'5'' tall and looks to wiegh around 70lbs. She small and slender.

Personality:
Hyperactive and outgoing but also sweet and kind. Talyon is a bit of an oddball because her personality shifts. Most times she is happy, usually she hides her sadness with a smile and tells everyone she'd fine. If one thing she doesn't like other worrying about her. Talyon is also able to be calm and serious when times call for it. In battle Talyon becames so focused that it's scary.
Bio/History:
Talyon was born in the Rukon Distract and abandoned, it wasn't long till an old couple found her and took her in. Talyon still ived in the same part of the Rukon as where she was abandoned, she was also never told about the abandonment. The couple that took her in was named Kisuno, her grandmother who looked to be around the age of 70 in Human years. She was spunky and filled with energy, she would pick on Talyon and give her beatings for punishments but it wasn't out of hate but love. Talyon admired her Grandmother, she was strong and independant and yet at the same time sweet and sensitive. Her Grandfather was anmed Juko he to looked to be around 70 Years old Human years. He was kind and always knew what to say to make you feel better, he was a gentlemen. Kisuno and Juko both worked at the Sereitei, Kisuno as an Academy teacher and Juko as a Soul Reaper. The couple had named Talyon after their late son who had died in his line of work, their son to was a Soul Reaper. Talyon however didn't take on their last name, who's she did will be told later. As stated before Talyon lived in the Rukon District sadly enough she wasn't in the good half, no rather she grew up in the one part that was mostly populated by thugs, criminals, monsters, you name it. This is why Talyon's Grandparents taught her to fight, Talyon had a lot of trouble learning the style they taught her but thats when Talyon came up with her own style, she mixed acrobatics with swordsplay (she used a wooden sword) with hand-to-hand. This rose up her agility and speed but sadly because of her size and wieght her use with a sword was minimal, her slashes weren't strong enough but because of her flexablity and new style she doesn't need to much strength. Sadly though Talyon is hopeless with Kidou.

Years had gone by and Talyons use with a blade had gotten much better but not her Kidou that still sucked, her level was below average. At thi point Talyon wasn't looking to go join the Academy, her Grandparents weren't forcing her either, they worried they might lose her like they did their son. Kisuno and Juko loved Talyon as if she was their own, and at this point Talyon thought she was. One day Talyon's Grandparents asked her to do a chore by going to get some food, their wasn't much they needed and Talyon agreed to go. Walking the streets her head in the clouds, a couple thugs spotted her and grew nasty grins. A sweet innocent looking girl walking the streets alone, easy picking. The thugs then got up and started to follow her and because Talyon wasn't paying much attention she didn't notice them. It wasn't long till the thugs made their move and tried to jump Talyon one of the men grabbed her shoulder which snapped Talyon from her dream, with a natural reaction Talyon grabbed the mans arm and flipped him over her being and on to his back. This didn't please the men. The one on the ground got up and started spitting prophanities at Talyon and then the other men attacked her, Talyon and the men got into a fight, and Talyon was getting hit hard. But then so were the men, one lay on the ground unconsious and the others were bleeding. By-standers gathered and soon the Society had sent someone to help, two Soul Reapers came to break up the fight, the men were defeated in no time and taken into custity, Talyon was taken to the medial clinic where she was dandaged up. Her wounds weren't bad, the men looked worse off then she was. But Talyon knew she had to get stronger.

The next day Talyon was allowed to go home back to her Grandparents which she did. That night while everyone lay asleep, members from the same gang showed up and broke into Talyon's home, first they went after her Grandparents. Because Talyon's room was farther away from theirs she didn't hear. The thugs were much stronger then the ones from before, both her grandparents and the thugs got into a quarell, and because of old age they were beaten. Her Grandfather Juko was sent right thorugh the walls, this caused Talyon to wake up, she rushed over to see what was happening and to her surprise she found her Grandfather laying in a pool of blood. Without thinking she rushed over to his side and pleaded for him to wake up and be alright but it was to late he had alrwady died. Sounds and crashing came from the other room and Talyon fueled by anger bolted full speed to her Grandmothers side, when coming into the room she found her Grandmother on the ground gaging blood as the men kicked her around, this set Talyon off and she nailed the one man right in the side of the head with her fist, the man fell to the ground. The other men just laughed and smiled talking all high and mighty. Talyon started to pound on the men but they pounded back harder, Talyon was still fighting her body stained her blood just as the walls and floors. One of them grabed Talyon's arm and caused it to snap so she returned the favour by catching his punch and twisting his arm that it came right off. The fight was bloody and sad to say Talyon was losing. But just in the nick of time the same Soul Reaper as before came in and saved Talyon from the men. He had knocked them down easily.

Talyon's Grandfather was burried and her Grandmother was put in intensive care, she was in a deep Coma. This left Talyon all alone but she wasn't for long. The Soul Reaper who had saved her took her in and allowed her to stay with him, Talyon agreed but reamined closed off from the world. She was still recovering from her own injuries and she couldn't get what happened out of her mind. Talyon at this time was still fairly young. In human years she would be 12.

Slowly over time Talyon grew out of her shell and became a little more socialable. She was becaming her old self again, she finally knew that greiving wouldn't help anything and she had to move on. At this time Talyon took on the Surname of the Soul Reaper who's name was Yusai Megima. Heintroduced her to the Academy and without hesitation Talyon joined. Her goal was to become stronger, be strong like Yusai so she to can help protect people so that something like what happened to her would not happen to others.

First of all, you can't already excel at hand-to-hand, and you're not in the place to say that she always remained on low level with kidou. Your character must not know any of the subject she will be taught. So please pu the skills in the required form as well, for you should describe how talented you are for a certain subject, not how skilled already.
Otherwise it's good, just edit these things and it's accepted.

Edit: what colour exactly is "crystal"?

But it explains in her bio that she's already had some training. Plus she has her own style of fighting. I've also mentioned that sh'e not expert level and thats she's still training. She came in with minimum training and plus I didn't say she'll remain at minimul Kidou, I just stated that he sucks at it and because she sucks at it she hates it.

You know what a crystal looks like, clear transparent that reflects colour. so it's kind of sparkly.
PostPosted: Wed Sep 02, 2009 11:55 am


You cannot suck at something you haven't learned yet!
This is a shinigami academy, and you will be taught all the skills needed. You may have your "special technique", for some others have also been allowed to have them, but you may not master it perfectly yet. And you may not know any other hand-to-hand, swordsmanship or kidou. If it states so in the bio, then change the bio.
And yes, thank you, I know how a crystal looks like, but that's not exactly a colour. You said yourself that it "reflects colour", it is not of a certain colour itself. And if you want to say that your reiatsu in transparent and sparkly, then write it so.

Writing Crystal Generalizes what I want it to mean, and it only reflects in certain light, again just as a crystal I dont see much point in having to Write out:
It's Transparent and Sparkles but Reflects the Colours of the Rainbow under certail light. It's not like anyone really going to read my Profile.

Also as said before she has tried it, as of now she sucks at it and because she doesn't like it that just means she wont get it, she's only had a little bit of training, most of it has gone into her own style of fighting, which doesn't involve Kidou. I know what your trying to say and stuff but it saves me from having to change things so often. If i say bluntly her Kidou is/will be below adverage then it will be, I'm roleplaying My character and if I want her to suck at Kidou dont I have that right to. And I didn't say she was a master and I never said she was perfect for hand-to-hand and swordsmenship. I said "She has her own style" and she's Above Adverage for it, but thats just in Hand-to-Hand, she has adverage swords skill, and she will only stay at adverage because of her size and weight.

Anyways Whatever, I'll do some changes. But I still don't see what the deal is in letting her have a bit of training before she enters.

Firstly, I suggest you don't argue with Ezz, cause you'll never win.
Secondly, the reason why she's not supposed to have training prior to attending the SA is that we want to ensure for all the students to start at the same level: all have the same possibilities of learning what they desire and no exceptions shall be made.

Also, we do not wish for detailed descriptions of hand to hand, swordsmanship and kidou, you just need to rate them with outstanding, average and below average. Please delete any additional information. Look at some other already accepted profiles for reference.

Please make these corrections as soon as you can and don't object any longer. If you are however unable to do so, we will not be able to let you rp in the guild. If everyone else is able to subject to our rules, I don't see a reason why you couldn't either.

Don't take it personal, but thats the way it is.

Well I'm pretty used to having to put lots of detail, plus if people can understand it I figured it didn't matter. Plus it's only saying why she's good in such subjects and why she's bad in others. Again I was always told to give Pros and Cons on character descriptions.

It's the way I do things.

I hope you know that being good in one subject means you have to have some sort of skill in that said subject prior to the time of being taught. So if I give her a small about of skill in Hand-to-Hand it only means she will excel in that subject faster then others. I'll still start out new, I'll make the same amount of posts and do all the same classes as everyone else and all that. Plus I only said that she's skilled in her "Own style" of fighting. When she goes in it's all going to be new to her so yeah.

PS. I'm not arguing I'm only stating my point and side.
PostPosted: Thu Sep 03, 2009 12:33 pm


You are arguing against the guild rules.
The rules in this guild state that you cannot have any prior training and if you want to rp here then you will abide to these rules. It's as simple as that. Only your talent will determine in which subjects you will later suck or excel.
And, I understand perfectly well what you mean by "crystal", but it still isn't a colour.

Wow, persistent are we? Instead of trying to reach a compromise by rating your character's skills the way you were told you to and still leaving the detailed descriptions, you rather hang onto your belief of how it should be.
Either you make your profile include the info the skeleton demands from you (aka you still haven't rated your skills appropriately) or we just won't be able to accept it. Simple as that. You can write more than necessary in your profile, I don't care, but the obligatory parts MUST be there.

And FYI, there are people who DO and WILL read you profile, which means it has to contain certain information (these people include me and Ezz, who will put you into one of the houses and a room depending on you character).

For the sucking part, you can suck at something you haven't learned yet while trying to use it. Sorta like how a student from gradeschool tries to do things he saw others use.

Now on to the other problems since maybe a third party (or in this case fourth) may be usefull.

Okay the main issue that i can find is your history.
If she was taught to use the sword then she should have carried it with her when being outside on a chore since it was supposedly learned to her for protection but there is no mention of it other then that she trained in it...
Then the hand to hand combat (wich is the biggest problem).
Mixing acrobatic with pure strength as if she is relying on brute strength... is probably one of the worst things one can do with it. You could probably compare it with a sumo-wrestler, he has to relie on pure strength instead of acrobatics wich is actually a good thing. if he had to use those 2 together he would most likely kill himself instead of the other...
A different example is a ballet-dancer, who doesnt need strength since her movements need to be simple and gracefull.
When you'd actually use that pure strength then you'd lose all grace, essentially taking you away from the basics.
Furthermore, the thugs you had problems with first where weaker then the latter ones while you took the latter ones down more easily then the weaker ones wich would kinda switch the correct part about you being overpowered and killed as well wich means no profile in the first place.

So looking at all the points i already gave it would be the best option to rewrite the bio, change her own style to something that makes more sense and remove the training your role supposedly already had.

I'm not hanging on to anything. I didn't get a chance to edit anything because I had to go to work. So I only had time to post one message before Taking a shower prepping my brother up to get ready to leave, I had to bring him to a babysitters and so on. So yeah, sorry I'm short on time but hey thats life.

She's not using pure strength, Hand-to-Hand can refer it's self into different styles, her style is similar to that of Neji and Hinata from Naruto, the Gentle Fists, and when combained with her acrobatics it gives her more flexablity and quicker reflexs. Her strength isn't increased any. Also in her profile it also states that the second batch had been weakened down by her grandparents. So even though they were stronger, after fighting a bit with her grandparents some of their strength would be gone. And I did say she got her a** kicked but not to the point of death, before death she was saved. Also because she's young and nieve she didn't think to bring her sword, she has only had a little bit of training with a sword that falls into her own style, other then that she knows next to nothing of the true basics.

Arguing and Debating are different. And again I didn't change anything because I had to leave and go to WORK. And what does it matter if crystal isn't a colour, it generalizes the over all look. If someone doesn't get it they can PM me about it and I will explain but i'm sure most will get it.

Lets try this one more time before one of the 2 leaders can delete this one if it is still not good enough.

Don't argue or debate with a crew member when they ask to change something in your profile, you just do it UNLESS the crewmember doubts and wants more information of some things, or you actually already did it while it was not noticed. (those 2 are the only exceptions for as far as i know)

So unless you have a valid reason for not changing what is requested (reasons like you had to do something or that it would be obvious or something along those lines are NOT valid reasons) you have to change the requested things.
