I begun writing the request on my ipod for this character before the new template arrives. Some stuff doesn't quite work, but I'm hopimg staff will accept it because where it breaks a rule it doesn't break the reason the rule is in place. If I missed anything important, plesase tell me so (This comment only applies to staff.

Name: Calto Rubian

Gender: Male

Age: 117

Race: Heliphlein

Birthplace: Ibilin, Ephlan

Allegiance: The Heliphlein Empire

Bio: To be honest, everything Ive done is because of a girl. Uliah Evenek. We both were born Ephlangar, and we both fell in love. We wanted to get married, but in Ephlangar territory only arranged marriages are permitted, so we left. We decided to live in Veliphlan territory. We got married, and were expecting a baby, but one day she was killed in a robbery. It was like everything I had been living for had been yanked from beneath my feet. I started having torment spikes. Nothing major, but it was always painful. I never was consumed by it. Well, not the 'incident' as they called it. I was in an electrical facility, and I ran into Uliah's killer. I don't know what came over me: I just heard his name, and I just kept getting more and more angry. He shoved me, and the that was it. I just remember waking up in the burnt, icy ruins of the station. I later found out that my emotional level of torment was 99%. 99! Experts were astonished that I got so high without killing myself. I set a record.

Everything since that day has been, I don't know, clearer. I don't know why, but it's like I started living differently, or in a different way. They sent me to one of the top CODE facilities in the world to help me control my emotions. Scientists did some tests on me for the three years I was in there, but they never figured out what had happened: or why I survived. There was some sort of magical interference that made me hard to read. They said it was probably some sort of residual energy in my blood from my burst of torment. They still wanted to study me, even after I got out.

After I was deemed safe I honestly didn't know what to do with my life. I had lost everything, so I guess I want to be on the mission so I can find something else to live for. Yeah, I tried to reacquaint with people from my old life, namely my family, but I was dead to them. They pretended they had never seen me before.
I'm qualified. I have nothing to lose. I'm perfect for the mission.

Weapons: N/A

Equipment: A picture of Uliah and a watch that measures dangerous emotion level. The faster and louder it beeps the mire danger everyone is in.

Magic Level: Well, I don't really know what I'd say to that. I'm a Heliphlein that faces torment, but most of the time I'm kind of mediocre with magic. I guess sometimes I'm a 4 or 5, but usually I'm quite a bit lower.

Appearance: It's a pretty good picture, but for some reason I look evil. It's weird. You also have to compensate for that red eye thing, cause as you can see, mine are navy coloured.

Personality: I've been through trauma before. The death of my wife's left me scared, but I'm not an unstable emotion pit anymore. It's left me hardened, so I don't show my emotions as much as I used to. Then again, I did used to be a bottomless pit of emotion, only then, it was all positive. The Ephlangar really liked that about me.

Anyway, I'm a very inquisitive man. When I grew up I was little I wanted to know everything there was to know about everything. At first, I payed more attention to my teachers then my classmates, but my dreams of knowing everything fell through when I decided to move to Velyk. Now I actually have a chance at getting back to that dream,but I warn you, I've grown far less passionate.

Occupation: Like I said, I have nothing to loose. I'm unemployed.

Fears: The biggest thing I'm afraid of is hurting someone. Torment fits terrify me for that reason. I guess I'm also scared about the mission. What if we find something? What if we don't?

Interests: I like reading a lot. It's always been something that has helped me escape reality. That's been especially great since... you know. I also like practicing calm emotions. It puts me at ease. Concentration is my favorite. Come to think of it, I also like practicing magical arts. It's always been something that I've been good at, and something that I've felt I could do better with. Playing sports like tefltinqin's always fun. Programming is something I like as well. It may sound boring, but working with technology really isn't.

Aspiration: I want redemption. I need a chance to start over.

I also want to find something out there. I know I said I was scared of that, but I'm feeling both ways. I'm completely terrified and excited about what we'll find.

I guess the other big thing I want to do with my life is something I don't want to do: let anyone down again. I'm not some kind of perfectionist, but I don't want to cause some kind of sick mess. I know I'll screw up some, but I plan on avoiding big messes.

Relationship Status: Single

Orientation: Straight

CODE: Control Of Dangerous Emotion- Any Heliphlein agency designed for help with controlling emotion.

Everyone's seen the secret part now, so I'm adding it to the mix.

And now that it's been approved it is once again hidden!

Additions not approved. There's so many things wrong with them. And the fact you ditched the post that showed them is showing you're damn well letting a godmodding mess into the RP.

K2 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 14, 2012, 05:31:04 PM »

Okay, what's wrong with the character?

Queen Bright · « **Reply #11 on:** January 14, 2012, 05:33:30 PM »

How am I supposed to know if the post was deleted and he only PMd it to two of you? We need the post again to determine that. I just remember at the time I would NOT have approved it due to so many things it had godmodding.

K2 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 14, 2012, 05:42:30 PM »

Nik, do you have a copy of the post?

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #13 on:** January 14, 2012, 07:42:59 PM »

I was PMed it. Hikaru, hes has 3 staff approvals and 1 denial... theres not a Damn thing you can do unless another staff denies it.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #14 on:** January 14, 2012, 08:45:47 PM »

If it's contested it has to be worked out if there's things wrong with the character in question.

Ragnar the Red · « **Reply #15 on:** January 15, 2012, 05:32:45 PM »

I hid it not because it was a godmod, but because I wanted to preserve the sense of mystery about him. The addition was simply a quote of Hikaru quoting the character in the OOC sections. It'll either be in a graveyard or the back of the section. I'll try to find it, but even so, what makes my character a 'godmod' is that he can be as powerful as someone else. That makes him equal to any other character, so if he becomes to powerful, look to the other characters around him, nit to him.

Also, I suspect that this onslaught brought on by Hikaru is more based on the Rper who requested it than the content he requested.

Reading it little by little, but first things first.

Too powerful.

One touch and you get all their powers, memories, abilities, whatsoever? So one touch and you'd have say Genesis as well as other inherited/bloodline magics without being of that inheritance? Um, hell no? Maybe if you had to go through a process. But just one touch? Godmodding to the G.

Touch = Absorb DNA = ANIMORPHS RIP

Memories cannot be erased, they are of the spirit. They can be forgotten, repressed, and even sealed. But not erased. As such because they are of the spirit, one touch would not take them so easily. And if the persons mind is shielded? It wouldn't get any memories at all.

And it's not like a one quick touch will get him every memory from thousands of years every time. It could, but Cadinae knows it could drive him crazy having billions of years of different people's memories,

Also, memories are something I won't be using much due to it's link with RPer knowledge. Also, he can only do so with beings from this plane, which rules out Plex, and embodiments, and others that are the most powerful beings are unable to be turned. And for the record, Plex was more powerful than almost every other being we've faced. Saying he was equal in power to anything is about a silly a statement as

Do you seriously thing Animorphs is the only thing that has touching and absorbing DNA? That's been around forever.

Also, He's already approved.

(That does no count. Why? Because it was never put up FOR approval in staff chat. Oh sure, I was yelled at for posting it, but those two just approved it without putting it up for approval. The rest of us never got the chance to say what was wrong with it. And oh believe me, there's tons wrong with it that need to be fixed.)

(You posted it. It was also in the staff chat for all the staff to see. You had PLENTY chance to contest it when it was being kicked about. You didn't. Cadinae is approved.)

(Cadinae was never approved. Calto was, but not the alter ego. That much power, and abilities that are borderline godmodding? Needs to be approved. And NO, secret approvals DO NOT count.

Also, You can't use phoenix sages WHATSOEVER without my approval as it is my race, so yes, BS.)

Actually his character has 2 approvals for the charater and the addition each. His charater IS approved. Get over it, seriously.

Now I'm sick of you whining. You hate everything I do because I do it. You find fault with everything I create unless it is seriously underpowered, and I'm sick of it. It's been approved by more than enough people. It's not fair that Hikaru can just complain that she doesn't like something I do and shut it down. Why do you think my most powerful ship in the fleet is a flimsy transport? It's just not fair.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #19 on:** January 15, 2012, 10:29:01 PM »

Now you're just playing victim. The only damn reason I'm going over your request is because I was asked by [classified] to look it over and see if "such and such was allowed." Now actually re-reading the damn request, there's several things wrong with it. And it does not matter if it is approved, if it is contested it still needs to be looked at, stop trying to backseat mod, seriously.

Again, the memories thing, shielded minds would give no memories. And one touch should not be able to absorb any memories. They are of the SPIRIT.

You completely ignored my say about the one touch being too powerful. And the inherited magics. I'll only approve if he can't get access to ALL abilities. Because there's some types of magic that are inherited through ritual, bloodline, or other means ONLY.

You said Plexan, not Plex -.-. PLEXAN, such as Orpheus and other Plexan mages are equals....
Personally to me Plex was weak as hell.

Ragnar the Red · « **Reply #20 on:** January 15, 2012, 11:45:44 PM »

I am the victim. I had a great character that I spent months thinking out and weeks writing out, and after months of scandal got it approved. Now you get to whine and get it unapproved. This easily tops everything in the harassment report.

I don't know what shielded minds are, but I'd be perfectly happy with letting them be protected from this.

Also, from what I understand contesting an approval only works if there's only two approvals. And this isn't backseat modding. This is me yelling my rights at you. If I were whipping out rules and such in someone else's request, you may have a point. As is, you just told me not to defend myself. That's never going to happen.

Anyway, taking on someone's body would guarantee bloodline powers no matter what. I mean, it is a body snatcher kind of magic, and bloodline is body.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #21 on:** January 16, 2012, 02:12:43 AM »

Wrong. If by magic (or curse or whatever) you're taking their 'form,' that is not taking their blood. Blood is sacred, no matter if you take the form, the magic in that blood cannot be copied. You may borrow or copy the form, but that is not taking their actual body. Therefore you WOULD NOT have bloodline powers.

Also, if you're going to accuse anyone of whining, accuse yourself. I'm only going over a godmodding request at the request of another member. Don't like it? Then don't cause other members to complain over your character to the point a staff member is asked to look at it. The one touch thing is godmodding, end of story.

Ragnar the Red · « **Reply #22 on:** January 16, 2012, 02:06:37 PM »

Actually, this character is taking their body. That's why it is the absorbing DNA. I never said I was taking their form. I specifically said body. That's why he stays in humanoid form.

Did I complain to staff when someone created a sun on my planet in a single post? No. That's godmodding because it doesn't allow time for the three day rule. You're the one who exploded on me when you just found out you didn't get your way six months ago. You are the one whose whining.

K2 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 17, 2012, 08:09:44 AM »

Okay, guys, stop arguing. Once we get the flaws fixed you can resume RPing your character.

Ragnar the Red · « **Reply #24 on:** January 17, 2012, 09:28:45 PM »

I thought this arguing was straightening out the flaws.

Btw, id'd be willing to give up ritual based magicianry as long as the ritual doesn't affect physical form.
