Asher

Just got my AIM back online since the '08 crash of the century. Feel free to toss me one. I can't promise I'll be too fun since at any moment I might have to hop along my way, but I'm usually on when I can be. EDIT: Sorry, it wasn't working. Cthulutwist. Couldn't help myself after reading H.P. Lovecraft.

Paranoid Schizophrenia Description: Although lacking the symptoms of thought disorder, estranged behavior, and affective flattening, delusions and hallucinations (of all senses) plague the character. The character is considered as being psychotic, which results in maintaining an effective grasp of reality. If not medicated the character will suffer from many inconveniences due to their being unable to translate and react to the environments during psychotic episodes Effect: On every turn, the player must roll a 1d4. If the result is a "1" the character is incapable of taking action due to a particularly distracting hallucinatory episode Cost: +1 ////////////////////// Medicated Description: The character is currently treated for P. Schizophrenia. The symptoms are heavily depressed to the point of hallucinations and delusions being minimal and negligible. Effect: Removes the "Hindering" skill point bonus and effects of P. Schizophrenia. This skill may be revoked with granted authority and planning, allowing the character to suffer from P. Schizophrenia once again Cost: -1 I'm not sure if there's a rule about skills having similar effects or anything like that. I'm just trying to work my character's affliction into the game a little more seriously. The idea behind the "medicated" skill is that it allows for recurring episodes where the character might need to be schizophrenic. I know you can refund the skill point normally by using X skill points for Y skill points, but I thought this would make it a little more story-oriented. But I also have no idea. Suggestions? Thoughts? I dumbed it down to simplest form for everyone's sake.

Oh I know the feeling. My PoS cost me about 800. It's not a bad machine at all, but the GFX card is like...Geforce 7600GS or something. It isn't much at all. I haven't played CS in the longest time. But then I only ever liked 1.6 and CZ (my brother played them when I was younger). That new one, source I think, it sucks (or that's how I remember it as being). I don't know. I've been caught up in call of duty 4 lately. Finally got max rank! Yay!

Yeah it does seem a little out of place. Considering it's a forum, one wouldn't really think that kind of information should have any bearing whatsoever. I don't particularly care, was just surprised to see it. Given your name, I'm guessing you're the FPS fan too. How fun! Sadly I haven't gotten a chance to re-install some of my games because my brother made my computer kick out on me. Just starting to get it rolling again, but with nowadays graphics I'm wondering if I shouldn't mess around with the video card. Yikes, this is when it doesn't pay off to be a pc fan.

~User Data~ -Posting: Pending schedule; a good amount -Time Zone: EST, USA ~Basics~ Name: Kisra Village: Otogakure Nationality: Otogakure Clan: None Age: 16 Gender: Female "Tom-Boy" (See: Appearance) Allegiance: Village Resistance ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Appearance~ -Height: 5'5" -Weight: 103 lbs. -Hair Color: Dark brown -Eye Color: Amethyst -Clothing: Intent on coming off as a male, Kisra wears clothing that veils her femininity. She has always had an affinity for leather and strap-like formations of material, finding it to be particularly eye-catching. Following her aesthetic choices, she adorns herself in such a way that her fashion tends to garner attention. Despite wearing a simple khaki sweater (the sleeves elongated such that they envelop her hands) and a simple pair of brown pants, she wraps thick bands of buckled leather across her chest, legs, arms, and ankles. Somewhat similar to a 'belt' concept, the biceps, wrists, thighs, chest, and ankles are all sporting a series of belts that fit snug to her figure. The bands across the chest (varying in angle to help hide her gender) are larger and thicker than the others to protect her identity. -Physical Description: Kisra is slender and lithe, her body not particularly well-endowed due to the sallow nature of her fragile frame. Her skin is pale, and overall she is a rather common sight. She lacks any distinguishing features that draws attention to her (though when she sets her mind to it, her visage is quite appealing). She appears 'boyish' in her attempt to adopt a male persona to avoid a variety of implications that being a female tends to bring. Seeking an androgynous balance, she neither renounces nor accepts her own gender, although her feminine features are hard to deny. She is a beautiful girl when she chooses to express it, but instead lathers herself up in such a masculine image that it can be difficult to deny. A keen observer will always be able to identify her as a female, but due to her age and mental restrictions she does the best her capacity of knowledge allows. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~History~ Background: (Your characters' background. Make it worth it.) Mandatory addition: (This will not be the same for all members depending on their allegiance. At some part of your history, you must include what your character did/how they were affected by the invasion of Kumogakure no Sato. Also, state their path of pursuit, which would be your allegiance and a reason to why they followed that path) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Persona~ Personality: Deep down, Kisra is a very typical young girl. She fancies the ideals of romance, independence, and stability that come naturally, but tends to mask these personal attributes in favor of more masculine ones. At her core, however, she is a resilient girl, capable of overcoming obstacles (physical or otherwise) that present themselves without relying on others to see her through. Feverishly self-reliant, the concept of requiring someone else embarrasses her greatly, and her avoidance of such scenarios can often land her in an awkward situation. A psychological mess, she suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, and while on medication only suffers vague, general symptoms. When dodging treatments, however, a myriad of issues can arise, leading to psychotic episodes. Because she evades social situations whenever possible, there is a large void in terms of characterizing her personality. The majority of what makes her, her, reveals itself as time goes on, and she makes closer connections with other people Likes: The evening, sensations of independence, reading, and avoiding people whenever possible Dislikes: Insects, sunlight, cold weather, rain, cheerful personalities, crowded locales ~Favorite~ -Food: None -Color: Red -Music Genre: None -Book Genre: Medical text -Hangout: Anywhere solitary -(Anything else you would want to add): Kisra, despite attempting to mask her gender as male, still exhibits feminine qualities. Be they emotional or mental, she tends to think like a girl (as she should). It is dangerous to classify her as anti-feminine or anything such, because she has not abandoned her overall identity, instead choosing to pursue a more 'convenient' one at this time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ninja Stats Rank: Gennin Level: 0 TXP: To Next Level: 0 -Stats(out of 500)- (Health Power) 0 (Stamina) 0 (Chakra) 0 (Taijutsu) 0 (Defense) 0 (Ninjutsu) 0 (Resistance) 0 (Genjutsu) 0 (Concentration) 0 (Speed) 0 (Accuracy)0 (Evasion)0 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Skills~ Skill Point Tally: 0 Remaining Skill Points: 2 ///////////////// Skills: ///////////////// Skills learned from Jounins: 0/4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Techniques~ Jutsu Point Tally: 0 Basic Academy Jutsus: ///////////////// Other Jutsus: 0/4 ///////////////// Jutsus learned from Jounins: 0/12 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Inventory~ Armor: -Head: -Neck: -Body: -Waist: -Forearm(s): -Hand(s): -Thigh(s): -Calve(s): -Feet: Weapons: -Main Weapon: -Sub Weapon: -Un-equipped Slot one: -Un-equipped Slot two: -Un-equipped Slot three: Items-- -Pouch: 3 Shuriken, 3 Kunai, and/or 4 Needles -Items in Vault: Nothing -Money on hand: $125 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Update Log~ Leveled up and Exp Earned: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Money Log~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Battle Log~ Wins: (against whom?)

Yup. Another person who suffers for having 99% of all gaming servers west-coast. Latency and stuff makes me mad sometimes.

Norwichish. I'm a lot more east-ward.

As the nickname suggests, I'm not entirely too feminine. I think it's overrated. I shoot for that androgynous balance, but I'm not sure how well I pull it off. Not that any of this impacts you at all. Post a picture of yourself! It's not mandatory but some of us are curious! I like the resize option. I think this says enough without saying too much.

It's early morning, and all she can think about is just how long it'll take for time to come full circle. The wheels of time grind in reverse, resetting the future back to present over and over. Like perfect clockwork, the perpetual mechanism of time is a simple illusion that is never truly broken. What separates one day from the next is the sensation of new activity, new stimulation. Naturally, Kisra understood these subtleties, and thus was unimpressed with the breaking of dawn and the hopeless idea of new adventure. But then, this was all only her perspective, wasn't it? Could she not be mistaken? Perhaps it was all simply a lock and key technique of dissociating from reality to protect the fragility of her mind. It was entirely possible that her scenario proposed features enough to keep life interesting in the sense that some master-plan inadvertently oppresses humanity. But then, she was also psychotic. It could be her schizophrenia acting up again. She'd been taking medicine and undergoing treatments for so long. Lately she had tired of the routine, and simply could not draw from within herself the stamina to maintain such a schedule. Unforgiving and crude, the methodology behind it all was invasive and uncomfortable. So, she abandoned her prior agenda for a new one. Come whatever may, she'd allow her mind run rampant for sake of absolute freedom. No longer would she bar her mentality from depicting life as it believed it to be. If she truly did lose a tether to reality, so be it. To renounce the shackles of normality, she would evolve into something greater than she already was. It had only been a few hours since she fled, so the effects would not settle fully upon her just yet. But of course, she also had class today. Perhaps more of an irritation than an opportunity, she would nonetheless seek progression in the sense that she could adapt to her new found environment in the social sense of things. The academy offered the unique situation where she would be subjected to the judgments, opinions, and perspectives of third parties, thus allotting her the chance to consider how she is viewed by others whilst suffering from her tragic condition. This was the first step of many, and she would carefully observe herself and others. Because even the most ugly creature can have beautiful qualities. ====/////==== Closing her eyes, and she's shielding the amethyst orbs from all others. Iridescent and rejecting of all other sources of light, she shames the sunlight that dances across the landscape. Beautiful, she expresses a particular slenderness uncommon within females of her age, her face sallow and defining of her structure. Her dark hair cut short, and she's easily mistaken for a young boy. Earlier lessons in life had taught her that sex discriminates, and thus it did not necessarily pay to be a girl, even by today's standards. Reluctantly accepting the role of a tom-boy, she'd hidden her identity for years, exposed only by the doctors whom administered her treatments. She had no family to speak of, due to her having been orphaned, so it was due to the charity of the orphanage (from which she recently fled) that she was able to undergo treatment at all. Brushing a palm through her hair, she blinks reflexively against the sunlight, and purses her lips in disgust. Kisra had an affinity for the evening, and found the sun to be a tragic and depressing feature of the day. Passing her tongue around her mouth, she moistens her lips before smiling widely. A new future, a new shot at life. Unhindered by previous...various circumstances, she confessed to herself that things could only get better now. And with a deep, strong breath, she steps forwards into the school. As though it were a pair of arms seeking to embrace (or perhaps a maw preparing to consume) her, her future now lay in the grasp of others. And she was prepared for this.
