Two things: First of all, please read the Character Policies and Guidelines thread that is stickied at the top of this forum. Second, expand Everything. Details galore are needed in order for this character to get approved.

I'm extremely sorry if I did not follow the rules. I sent this to wumpi a while back and never got a reply from her about it (I believe that was 2 years ago). Due to that I didn't know that their were rules that I had not followed. Also can you tell me where the character policies are I've tried searching and can't find them. (nice avatar too. when I watch Bleach he seems really cool)

Thank you very much for your help Ciroton.

NAME: Carlo Shin
AGE: 20
RACE: Human
GENDER: Male
HAIR: His hair is black and goes down to his neck.
EYES: Green
WEIGHT: Unfortunately when asked his weight he states: "I am not bones if thats what you want to know but I can catch you easily and take you down, ask me again and I will show you". Considering what he said we think that he must not prefer to disclose to much information about himself.
HEIGHT: Apparently from what he says 6 feet tall but if he is lying or not we can't tell.
WEAPON: Due to his occupation he must be skilled in several different weapons. He uses swords and bows and sometimes the hunting knife that he keeps strapped to his leg. His swords are unusual because although they appear to be made of metal they are not a metallic color but instead black with the base red. His bow and arrows are made of a horn from some monster and is very durable. The hunting knife itself is nothing fancy and seems to be hand-made as it is fashioned very crudely.
STRENGTHS: Has no true strength other than being good at what his job entitles. It is said their is not a person alive who he couldn't kill. Of course this is mostly exaggeration as he has had many cases when he almost died. He is fast on his feet for a human and so can easily out-run or catch one if it came to hunting his targets. He is extremely skilled with a sword in what he calls the Shadow Style.
WEAKNESSES: Although he is a good archer he gets nervous very often while aiming and will miss a 75% of the time. He is scared of big bodies of water so he does not like going anywhere near a coastline and this usually affects whether he succeeds at his job or not. He cannot fight hand to hand and so without access to his weapons and if his opposite magic type is used a lot against him he cannot really fight back.
SKILLS/MAGIC: Carlo does use magic when needed and will also combine magic with a move to make it twice as strong. He uses alot of darker magic versions due to his background but also has some light magic. He easily can perform simple spells like starting a fire, so he can do things mainly to survive while traveling.
His magic spells for fighting include but are not limited too:
Black Fireball- He creates a fireball about the size of a head and throws it, this is the same move he would normally use to start a camp fire.
Flames of Lost Souls- This is one of the few light magic spells he has. This is his weakest as it does not always harm the person. The spell can bring back souls of the dead but what kind of souls whether pure or corrupt can not be controlled.
Shadow Barrage- By infusing his blade with black fire magic he then will attack the person with 100 slashes. The only downfall to this is that none of the slashes can kill the opponent which in a fight against someone with a lot of stamina could mean the attack will do nothing but give them 100 marks on their body since there not deep.
Shadow Flame Sword- He infuses his blade with black fire increases its powers.
Twin Shadow Flame Sword- Same as Shadow Flame Sword except both his blades are infused with black fire although the power increase would be the same.
Angelic Form- This is not a typical light spell since he must use this to be able to use any of his strongest light magic spells which come under the category of the Heaven Style. Unfortunately not much is known about the style as only a descendent of a angel can use its powers and nobody has ever mastered it. A majority of the Angels disappeared over 10 years ago so no one has seen the style for a while.
Shadow Style Demon Form- This is a move that only 7 people can do. It requires the user to have blood of a fallen angel in their viens. This spell unlocks a whole set of new moves referred to as the Demon Style. Since the fallen angels were shunned by humans they have gone into hiding or have winded up dead. 7 remain of the bloodline at this time.
Carlo is always making new moves since he uses his own sword style. Due to this a actual list of moves could not be made of his current skills.
APPEARANCE: Carlo wears a black cloak with a hood. He rarely shows his face, so not many now what it looks like but it people say that he has a x-shaped-scar on his right cheek. He wears a black cape. Underneath his cloak is a torn black shirt with gray pants.
PERSONALITY: Carlo keeps to himself a lot unless on business (see bio), he is nice when you get to know him though. He takes his job very seriously so he does not like it when people joke about his occupation. He is an extremely good strategist and analysis situations to see what the best form of action to take would be. He does not accept failure from himself and will put himself down a lot if he does.
BIO: Carlo Shin is the son of a male fallen angel and a female human. Upon his birth it was told that one day a great misfortune would befall his kind. The truth in this was not that a great misfortune would befall humans but would happen to his fathers side the fallen angels. He grew up unknowing this and at the age of 5 was taught magic by his father who had mastered the Demon Style a form of black magic made by the fallen angels to repel the angels light magic. He then learned of how to use weapons. It was Carlo's idea to infuse magic into blades to increase their power. Although he came upon this idea by accident being only 7 at the time he was regarded as a genius. This was confirmed since he never seemed to lose at a strategy game he played having his opponent beaten from the beginning. Upon the age of 10 the prophecy came true when humans became fed up with the constant warring between the angels and the fallen angels. They killed any they believed to be one including Carlo's father. Carlo's mother was put to death because she married a fallen angel. Carlo confused and sad had become abandoned and lived on the streets. At 12 he somehow managed to get a dojo to take him in and train him. They were impressed with his sword skills and knowledge and tried to show him how to create his own style of fighting. It was at this dojo he learned how to use a bow but only getting minor training in it. He was seen by many as someone who could easily be a master swordsman. At the age of 17 Carlo disappeared without a trace. During this time he was constantly training and pushing himself to the limits of his ability. He wasn't seen again until the age of 19 in which he had donned his cloak, hood, and cape. He became a traveling mercenary and was wanted by many. Nobody knew though that this traveling mercenary was the same Carlo Shin that used to live on the streets.

Before I ask for any detailed changes, I want to see the following changes.

Weight: There has to be some unit of measurment. It can be Imperial, or metric, or of you own invention (In that case, you'd need to post the I/M conversion) however, you can't just say the won't answer it.

Height: You're not asking how tall they are. Think of it like a police or military file. They need exact measurnments, not just what the person says they are.

Strengths, Weaknesses, Personality, and Apperance: Please expand on all these qualities a little bit, the latter two more so.

Biography: Please put the biography into proper paragraphs for easier reading. Generally, paragraphs are between three (3) and five (5) sentences long.

Finally, please space out all the sections. It can be quite taxing trying to tell the Skills from the Weaknesses. If you're having trouble, feel free to look at any one of my characters to see how this is done.
