"Who honors those we love for the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us and at the same time sings that we'll never die? Who teaches us what's real and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us and who holds the key that can set us free? It's you. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight."

Profile Explanations

    Name:
      Your character's name and any nicknames/aliases they might have. Family names (surnames/last names) are encouraged but not required.
    Age:
      You character's age. The youngest age your character can be is 17 and the oldest is 35. The life span of Arzotia is about the same as our world, so no 'Appears to be __' and nothing ridiculous like being 2,847 years old.
    Gender:
      Male or Female, guys. I don't want any mysterious genders...
    Nation:
      Your country: Umbra, Aurora, or Meridies.
    Rank:
      Your character's ranking based off their Soul Color. For reference, please see above for the Arzotian Hierarchy.
    Height:
      Please use ft/inches and not cm. If needed, Google the conversion.
    Magic:
      You may choose up to 3 different powers that your character can posses, as long as they make sense. No opposite powers are allowed: i.e. Fire and Water. Think of Pokemon; you can only have powers that are similar but not clashing.
    Weapon:
      Your ranking gives you a generality of the weapon you should have, but what are the specifics? If your rank is a Dominion, then do you have a longsword? Broadsword? Any special kind of blade? It's name? Explain! Feel free to get creative~ (But don't go too overboard...) Google the generality of your required weapon if need be. Your weapon is to be drawn onto your app sheet or linked to it.
    Soul Crystal:
      In what shape or form is your character's Soul Crystal? Is it in the form of a gem on an amulet? Is it minimized to a ring? Is it encrusted on a weapon?
    Likes/Dislikes:
      Self-explanatory. You can have this category in separate sections if you want.
    Abilities:
      For this section, please list out the different abilities or attacks that your character has based off their Magic Power(s) or Weapon. You are in the military so you can have up to 5 different moves/attacks. Be specific and detailed, but don't forget to get creative!
    Personality:
      What is your character like? What are some of his/her reactions to certain people or situations? How much does your character trust? Are they more on the friendly side, or are they really cold and bitter? How do they feel about the War or opposite nations? This section is very important!! Personalities make the character come to life.
    Biography:
      Your character's background/history. Get creative here too! What city did your character from? How was their family situation/life growing up? The back-story is also very important because it tells the struggles or the strifes they had to go through to become the person they are to this day. Please include the reason for them wanting to join the military and why. Be detailed, but no novels please.
    Other:
      For this section, add whatever you feel is important for everyone to know about your character. Do they have a significant other? Do they have a pet of some sort? Have fun with it. ;D
