Okay, Tokubi-chan. I'll think of someone...hmm...

Name: Berehad Mera'ten (nicknames are Barry and Idiot)

Age: 35 1/2

Gender: Male

Likes: girls, drinking with friends, fighting as a sport, protecting people weaker than he is, cracking jokes, rain and storms, snow, Lichnus (a friend/almost a brother of his), blue, green, and foresty colors (i.e. brown, grey, black, etc), trees, mountains, cloaks, swords, leather, armor that doesn't weigh more than he does.

Dislikes: lazy people, stupid people (prety much people who just do stuff for the sake of diong it, so he'll hate Akama), too much sunshine, flowers, pink fluffy hyper things in general, flat open areas, feisty horses, silly giggly people (male or female), spiteful jokes (or jokes made without the understanding that one is joking and really doesn't mean it), bleeding excessively (loong story there...), people who take advantage of others (especially women...he hates that...)

Physical Weaknesses: he has a slightly weak left wrist from spraining it at least three times in one week, and he has been wounded in more than one limb, so those act up now and again (when it's too sunny and bright, normally).

Physical Strengths: Fast, agile, an excellent swordsman, and great stamina. He has been training since childhood, and knows a lot about caring for and using swords. He also can use a bow rather well if need be.

Weapon: A sword (straight, somewhat like Aragorn's, three 1/2 feet long), knife (about seven inches long), sheild (these can be used as weapons too!), and chain maille (for defense).

Physical Description: Black curly hair, bright-almost icy-twinkling, mischevous blue eyes, tanned face, straight nose, high cheekbones, square chin, broad shoulders, 6'1'' (he's actually rather short for where he comes from), 170 (muscles...he's thin too), white button shirt, tight leather pants (no, he's NOT a metalhead...hehe...), floppy leather boots (pirate style...or Jack Sparrow style), a grey cloak, leather belt, leather wristguards, a sliver hoop earring in his left ear, a sliver ring on his right thumb, leather finger-gloves.

Personality: laid back, nice, easy to get along with, generally polite unless he meets someone who like taking advantage of other people. He really likes just hanging out and laughing with friends, though he can be very serious. He always tries to be there for people and is normally the comforting one, the one who gives hugs when he sees people crying. He's actaully a rather tender-hearted guy, even though he's been a soldier since the age of 12. He readily follows orders, and yet is used to giving suggestions, and will readily do so if asked. He is sometimes a tease, but after all, he is a man... He has been in several battles, and knows how to keep his cool in a dangerous situation. He is rather protective of his friends though, and will do something reckless in order to make sure they are safe.

History: He was washed ashore in a storm, and has been wandering around the countryside ever since. He remembers everything about his life except how he got here...rather helpful there... He was raised primarily by his father, and rarely saw his mother, who was sick alot. His father was a poor landholder when he started out at the age of 15, so saving money and being responsible have been hammered into Barry. He loved fighting with swords, and his father sent him off to the wars at a very young age. He joined the Erechmasi (Elvish) army (an incredble accomplishment for a human) at the age of 22. After having many adventures there (and meeting a lot of people who he would willingly and readily die for, to this day), he finally retired to his father's lands in southern Hermitticha (don't try saying that out luod, please...), where he stayed till he went on a pleasure cruise with some old friends...and then...you know....

I won't give you a writing sample because you've seen my writing...annnd yeah. Pretty much he;'s been wandering around helping people...

Read, read, read, read, read. Of course you must learn English grammar...but reading, endless general reading, is the only way to develop the sense of rhythm and language which enables a writer to 'hear' good prose inside his or her head. and write it down...reading is more important than writing...Although I write for television, I feel passionately that children should watch it very seldom;... and instead read a book.

Go there and you can fnd height/weight charts for women and men. It's really nice, and pretty accurate, and useful. ^^

Er...*cocks head* You didn't even try to make his style fit into this world! ...nnn...you'd better have a good excuse for such a tall european being here(in the sense that he'll stick out like a sore thumb). I guess I can't find anything terribly wrong with him, but I'm not going to accept him until you figure out a way to put him into the storyline of this RP(which you've read, right?...yeah, you probably have. You read really fast...). And avoid making him to...everywhere...when we're Rping(not sure how to expalin this never mind ignor), Okie?

Okie!

Basically he's been hiding out trying to find food...he's alos gonna sort of bump into everybody when they're fighting...and he won't be too everywhere. I knows what you mean. ;)

Tell you what. He'll get washed ashore during the beginning of the story, wander inland, and be rudely awakened by the fighting and decide to join in the side with the chick who's supposed to be married. Savvy? He'll be rather confused, but otherwise okay...

And as for him being here....his ship got totally destroyed? He was on a journey from Europe (this is sort of an AU Berehad) and his ship totally got lost, everybody nearly starved, and then a storm hits and bing! He pops up into the story going "Bwuh? I'm wet, cold, and hungry! What the-oooh, people fighting!" Or something along those lines. I need a better excuse for him to join the fighting...but you get the idea as to how he's here, at any rate.

Yeah, that's fine, and you told me the stuff on the phone, so you're good. Berehad spices up the RP a bit XD.

Ah, good to know.


Heh, maybe I should make a few more wrong assumptions, because I'm finding your corrections very helpful... *grin*
I've felt this way before. The world goes deafeningly silent. I hear my heartbeat thundering in my ears. This must truly be... the brink of death.

I hear it. The breath of his steel. A katana follows will...

All that's left... is to see if I truly have the power to cut steel.

Name: Yaki Kuniyuki(or just 'Kuni')
Age: 14
Gender: male
Likes: sweets, horses
Dislikes: People underestimating him, being killed
Physical Weaknesses: He’s inexperienced and young (his age holds him back)
Physical Strengths: He’s very talented for a young boy.
Weapon: Knives
Physical Description: Brown hair, dark brown eyes, 5’ tall, 114 lb, green-brown vest thing, dull yellow kimono, grey-brown hakama and leg guards
Personality: Kuniyuki is a quiet boy who is a little shy but he tries to hide this fact because he thinks it makes him appear weak. He is often underestimated because of his age and size, but he is very talented for his age. He may not be as strong or have as much stamina as the adult warriors but he can definitely hold his own in a serious fight.

(I'm already accepted because Tokubi-neesan already read it several times and said it was okay)

When Kanthia comes back and whenever she feels up to it and posts her characters' descriptions.

...How will this start out? Will they be on the way to Machikaze-dono's region, or are they still to recieve the job?

I still need to figure out where Ryuusei will be in the beginning, and that would help to know that ^^

Oh, okay, I was going to tell you guys this, but honestly I wasn't sure myself. But I know now...I think. I've written the first post(assuming no big changes occur between now and when Kanthia gets back). Everyone(Akama, Kamiten's pplz, and the Ryokushu sons) will all start off like they've just been given the assignment. The first post which I wrote as a first post for all of the Kamiten's warriors has Hitoji and Ruoko walking out after getting some last minute details and with the five samurai outside packing up the cart. Koujo who arrived the night before is outside sitting in her sedan chair.
