Character Name:Vayne Hitokage (Cypher) Age: 17 Gender: Male Type: Meister Partnered? Not as of now Image: N/A Clothing and description: Vayne is five foot ten inches tall , and of average muscle build for someone who is 140 pounds. His light chestnut hair is normally tousled and sticking up in places, like he just got out of bed. His intelligent blue eyes are usually behind a pair of rectangular wireframe glasses that don’t seem to ever slip or fall off. He normally wears clothes that may seem out of context. He doesn’t like wearing shorts at all, and he wears jackets of any kind when it seriously cold. He normally wears a fitted black long sleeve shirt and a loose vest over top of the shirt and a pair of black jeans. He is also normally seen in town with a laptop case. History: Vayne was born into a middle class family in the state of Washington on March 17th. Vayne does not remember much of the places he had lived in, as his father was in the military and the family moved quite often. He constantly moved for thirteen years of his life, which he strangely didn’t find to be that hard to adjust. He loved meeting new people and seeing new places. He stayed in various states, such as Virginia, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and New York. In each state, Cypher made a few friends, and every time, there were teary goodbyes from his friends, plus a lot of phone numbers for him to call, though he rarely did. He also never found anything he didn't like about the states he lived in. During his stay in New York, his relatives got him a high end laptop. He instantly loved it, and even though it was for school work, he loved to mess with it. This progressed into a love for computers and programming. When his father got stationed in Arizona, Cypher entered high school. He instantly signed up for some computer programming classes, and his father enrolled him in some martial arts classes. His reason for this was, ‘I want you to be able to defend yourself.’ Vayne didn't refuse and actually found all the classes he took to be fun, like website design(which he took because he thought it would be fun and applied computers), advanced math classes even English(core classes that he was required to take), even the martial arts. During his sophomore year he had researched, and read, dozens of guides on computer programming and some guides on hacking. It wasn't much later that, due to Vayne’s love for everything computers, and his new found skill of programming and hacking, that he got the nickname of Cypher, which he actually liked. During his senior year, things changed for Cypher. He began to start seeing a black void that had blue floating orbs, in the middle of classes. He first thought that this was due to the stress of the new school year, and the possibility of moving again. However the vision persisted, and soon he became curious of this. He kept this all to himself as he tried to figure out what the blue orbs could be. It wasn’t till his second semester that he realized that the orbs were where people sat. He also saw that there was one orb that was red, and not blue. He began to wrap his head around the notion that he had two visions, but he still had no clue what the orbs were. He then set his sights on the red orb, searching for it whenever his vision changed, which was for about 30 min every few days, and found that the orb corresponded with a popular football player. A week later, Cypher decided to confront the guy, and try to find out something about his vision. However before he could he was attacked by the same guy he was going to confront. The guy said something about how Cypher was getting to nosy and he needed to get rid of him. The guy pulled out a knife and attack Cypher with an unnatural speed. All Cypher could do was dodge and back up into a wall of an alley that he had been corralled into. Suddenly the guy was split into two and transformed into a red orb. Standing behind this was a man a sword in hand. This man was a Meister; He was about 25 years old, with brown hair and green eyes. His partner was a long sword, and in human form, was a man who looked 22 with blond hair and blue eyes. After Cypher asked a million and a half questions, these men explained everything to Cypher. After the man explained everything from the Academy to Kishin Eggs to Weapons, Meisters and Witches, Cypher asked him about changing fields of vision, and told the man about the orbs. The Meister told Cypher that he had the gift to see souls, and that he could be a meister…if he wanted to go with the man to Death City. A week later, the time that the Meister had given Cypher. Cypher had decided that even though being a meister could be hard, he would do it so he could protect people he knew, and so that he could at least even more people, and see more places. After a debate with his parents, which ended with his father on his side, and his mother not wanting her little baby to leave her and go fight creatures, he left with the Meister. On the way to Death City, the Meister taught him how to use his Soul Perception. The trip consisted of taking multiple buses and cabs to reach the city. Personality: Cypher is the kind of guy that doesn’t hold grudges to most people. He knows how to take a good joke, and sometimes sets himself up for one. He is almost always smiling and is very sociable, even though he has moved from state to state, having many friends cry with the moves. If he ever gets angry or sad, which is rare, he is only that way for 10 minutes tops. Though he always seems chipper, and hyper, which is due to ADHD, which he was diagnosed with at age 7 and to this day believe it is a godsend, as somehow it helps him learn multiple things at once. He does know when he needs to be serious, though he still will have a smile. Also Cypher has a strong reversion to cheating, and will never accept to do any kind of project for anyone if it relates to school, this is the only time he will be cold to someone. He also does not like people who abuse computers or other people, such as bullies. Also, he dislikes using pens, because he believes a pencil can do the job. Cypher’s true passion lies with in his hacking and programming skill, which he has turned into a true gift, as he can concentrate on it. Though he also enjoys reading, playing video games, and walking In a fight, Cypher is somewhat serious, and somehow can usually focus on his opponent. Cypher also has a loyal side, wanting to keep all of his friends from being hurt. Abilities: Technique Name: Soul Perception Effects/Description: Vayne has the full use of his Soul Perception ability after arriving in Death City. He is able to see the souls around him within 50 feet, and is able to sense the souls of people from 500 feet away. Also, if he can concentrate long enough, he can see minor details on a soul’s personality or pinpoint a particular soul. This generally takes him ten minutes to do. It also takes him a moment to switch between his Soul Perception and normal vision. Pinpointing a soul is easy for him to do, as it doesn’t take much energy, but he does get frustrated at how long it takes. Technique Name:Computer Hacking Effects/Description: Vayne is incredibly skilled at hacking, as he has read and tried various hacking guides and even asked a random hacker he found for help on the subject. Vayne can hack into most normal computer with in a matter of minutes. He can also hack into other electronic systems, but the more complex of a system, like a collection of computers or other processing units, and strength of the firewalls change the time needed. Ex. Vayne could take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to hack into a security system. Vayne cannot hack superior computers systems like the Pentagon, or any national system. Also, machines that have a direct connection port for his computer(which he has many cords for this) are easy to hack, while a hacking a laptop over a wireless connection is harder for him to hack. Combat Style: Cypher fights like he hacks; he analyzes the opponent and comes up with a way to beat him. He has studied under various forms of martial arts; which include karate, Tai kwon do, and others. However he has not studied under a particular style, this is to say, he doesn't devote him self to anyone fighting style. He can fight to save his life, and his differing arts give him the advantage of unpredictability. He generally lets his ADHD control his fighting, just doing the first thing his mind thinks up as a counter attack. This generally leads him to using his speed and tactics to make up for his low strength and other failings. Miscellaneous Information: Cypher wears contacts when he thinks his glasses might get broken, or they are already broken. Cypher’s glasses are transitional. Cypher still has the laptop given to him by his relatives, though he has upgraded it. Also, Cypher’s eyes gain a reddish hue and his pupils become slightly slit like when he uses Soul Perception. The reason for this is unknown. Also Cypher has an apartment in Death City, paying for this with the money his parents had originally planned to be his college fund, which his father gave him access to, and his mother doesn’t know as she would throw a fit. Currently doesn’t know what kind of weapon would be good for him. Cypher also has an impressive memory, remembering most of what he had learned while in school. Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Roleplay Sample: Cypher looked out over the food court of one of the malls of Death City. He sighed and turned back to his computer, where he had a new program project he was creating, which was to be able to help out a student in class, or even at home. He smiled as he began to type out the code, his fingers flying over the keyboard. He continued for several minutes till someone tapped on his shoulder. He looked over and saw a cute girl that he had seen early today while he was walking aimlessly around. “Hi, can I help you.” Cypher said this happily, which he saw surprised the girl. He inwardly chuckled, knowing that his chipper attitude sometimes threw people off. “Ummm, yeah…see I saw you, and umm….” The girl seemed to fidget as she tried to find her words. Cypher sighed and smiled. “Okay what is it you want?” He asked the girl this in his chipper tone. She sighed and looked at him seriously “I was wondering if you’d write a paper for me. I’d-“The girls started saying this, but Cypher instantly scowled and sighed. He knew that this was a possibility. He let his pupils change to become slit like before he spoke again. “No way, do it yourself.” Cypher said this coldly as he packed his computer up and left the girl where she was standing. Cypher sighed after about five minutes of having a scowl on his face. ‘Oh well, I guess I can check out GameStop.’ Cypher thought this before smiling, wondering what new games they had that he could hack.

Hey there, Cypher! My name's Lammy. Welcome to 42! I'm glad to see a Meister with the recent influx of Weapons we've had on the site, and I'm looking foward to seeing your character in action! We actually don't have too many hacker-type characters... But of course, I'm here to provide some moderation to your character. While there isn't a whole lot to be done, I think there are a few things that could be improved. So let's get started, shall we? Clothing and description: All good here! But also describe what other sorts of fashions he likes to wear as well; such as poofy coats in winter, short shorts in the summer, etc. History: I'm a big fan of bullet points when it comes to longer sections, so I'll point out a few things that I suggest be changed/added/etc!
Personality: Although this is a very good start, I think that you should flesh it out a teensy bit more. Just add a few things; like, what are some things he enjoys besides computers? Dislikes? Is there anything he's truely afraid of? How does Vayne view Shibusen? And how is he doing at Shibusen? Does he get along well with the other students, and are his grades fair or poor? Talk about his smarts here. Also, talk more about how he deals with his ADHD and when he was diagnosed. And did the constant moving have any detrimental affects on his mental or physical health? Does he have a harder time making friends and trusting others than the average person because of it? Does he find having knowledge of different martial arts makes it harder to remember them all? Abilities: Regarding Soul Perception... How hard is it for him to pinpoint a particular Soul? Does it drain him, or does he find it generally easy despite taking a while? Regarding Computer Hacking... Yes, it's good that you put this here! Totally appropriate! But when it comes to more complex systems, please be more specific. Is there anything he CAN'T hack, for example? And how hard or easy does he find certain machines and programs to crack in to? Combat Style: Be sure to describe the strengths and weakness you listed here. Talk about his strength, agility, smarts, etc; and how they pertain to combat. And please, go in to more depth about the sorts of styles that Vayne learned during his training, and how he flows all of these styles together! What sort of Weapon partner would he like to be paired with, if any? Overall, a great start! Don't be afraid to PM me if you have any questions, Cypher! Also, give the Rules a second look...I think you'll find your Roleplay Sample is missing something... Edited by Lammy, Jan 28 2013, 07:32 AM.

Great job, Vayne! Just a few things, actually, and I think we'll be good. History: Did he take the other classes simply because they sounded/looked interesting, or is there a deeper reason? Combat Style: "He has studied under various forms of martial arts; which include karate, Tai kwon do, and others. However he has not studied under a certain type." Sounds a bit confusing to me; do you mean to say that while he has been exposed to many martial arts, and taken various classes, he has not devoted his training to any single art? Strengths and Weaknesses: You actually need one more Weakness if you have four Strengths, but hey! I think earlier in the profile you mentioned him being so loyal to his friends that he would go out of his way to protect them. Perhaps this disregard for his own safety could be counted as a Weakness? |
