((Hello again. I will try to edit things in the same day. I look forward to playing with you all. So, bye.)) Name: Joseph Chaplin Gender: Male Age: 18 Grade: 12th School: Aurora High School Hobbies and Interests: Chainmailling and Medieval history Appearance: Joseph Chaplin is 6 2 and an even 200 pounds, a fair amount being muscle, but a fair amount being fat, too. Although, he can really be described as bulky at worst. His skin is pretty fair due to his English origins, although he is ever so slightly tanned due to spending some time outside. His face is almost square, and with a broad jaw. Josephs eyes are a deep shade of blue, and his hair and eyebrows are a dark brown, occasionally mistaken for black. Josephs hair is rather wavy and of average length. He has a flair on his left eyebrow due to a genetic trait passed through his family, and has to shave every other day or so to keep his beard under control, though he has contemplated growing it out. All told, Joseph Chaplin could be considered attractive in that there is nothing wrong with him physically. Joseph tends to wear simple clothing for its practicality. Grey sweatpants, black sneakers and a T-shirt, usually. This rarely changes with the weather. On this particular day, he was wearing much of the same. This particular T-shirt is a simple grey one with a blue and white shield on it. He also wears small rounded glasses, mostly for aesthetic reasons, as well as a Byzantine bracelet of his own creation. Biography: Joseph Chaplin was born April 19th,1994, in Seattle, Washington, to Thomas Chaplin and Alice Irving. Joseph prefers not to think too much of his elementary years, as he has few good memories from the time. A combination of older parents and no other siblings have given him a quiet demeanor, and because of this, he didnt actively search for companionship. Regardless, he still made a few friends. His greatest interest was his computer, as he saw this as a means of infinite information. He would spend many a night on the computer, learning about things and places, generally much past his bedtime. His mother tried to correct this problem several times, to no avail. He left elementary school with few friends, somewhat overweight, and with average grades. While in Middle school, Joseph began to take a keen interest in history. He tends to stick to warfare over all else, but also knows much about prominent figures from the past. Medieval Europe appealed to him most of all. This culminated in him learning how to make armour out of rings, or chainmaille. This was met with a few awkward glances from his parents, but they eventually let him. His making chainmaille has become a major aspect of his life. While he has stopped researching since, he still tends to talk about medieval history from time to time. On his first day in high school, Joseph caught attention from many people due to his chainmaille crusader vest in the halls. Although he was told by a teacher not to wear it initially, the school eventually stopped caring. Nowadays, not too many know about Joseph more than being the quiet guy who makes armour. He will spend much time outside at a local park, making chainmaille and catching attention of those around him. As of the moment, Joseph has completed several sets of armour, some too small from his early teenage years, and some made intentionally large just in case. This has obviously taken much of his time, and because of this, he rarely has time for much else. Due to chainmailles versatility,every single suit of armour fits, some tight and others loose. One thing people will notice about Joseph is his calm, almost stoic demeanor, and many people know him for this. This is not due to being tired, as many people are led to believe, but rather due to his upbringing. Though he is not social, he will occasionally cast a humorous comment in class, triggering laughter. Combined with a maturity well beyond his years, this leads many people to believe that hes as cold and emotionless as stone. Joseph walks with an air of superiority around him, always keeping his head up. He is very intelligent, although his knowledge rarely matches with his grades, and as such he doesnt get As too often. More usually, he receives Bs and Cs for his grades, the obvious exception being history, in which he excels and takes many special classes in. He has a great amount of common sense. Joseph, due to stuttering if he talks too fast, speaks slowly and deliberately. In spite of, or perhaps because of this, in addition to his abnormally baritone voice, he could very easily be a good public speaker. Joseph has never had any illnesses requiring hospitalization, physical or mental. Although he has had a history of cuts and bruises from various injuries over the years, these are normal. Because of his older parents, 56 and 53 respectively, only two of his grandparents are living, both being in their mid-80s. Advantages: Josephs abnormal patience may or may not serve him well. Due to a large build and strong arms, he may have an edge in close quarters combat. Will almost always think rationally, and could theoretically talk his way out of a confrontation. Disadvantages: He spends a fair amount of time alone, so friends are few and far between. His strength is raw and untrained, and he doesnt seem to have the will to kill without provocation. Josephs large, bulky figure may raise alarm among others. Edited by ChainmailleAddict, May 6 2013, 11:09 PM.

Hiya, Chainmaille! Since this is your first character, the deadline actually doesn't apply here; you actually have until the start of V5 (set for between May 16th and May 20th) to submit a first and only character (the deadline only applies to second and third character profiles). Also, we strongly prefer not to have WIP profiles in the queue, as they make it hard for staff to figure out who needs a critique and so on. As such, I'm moving Joseph to abandoned. You can resubmit him any time before the 16th with no penalties. When you do, please be sure to follow the template exactly, including line spacing and such. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. This is just a bookkeeping move, since it's not going to affect your ability to get Joseph into the game in the long run.
