Give us a couple paragraphs of general info about your character. For example, what's the character's personality like? What kind of things does he or she do? Why does he or she do it? (Please don't give us your character's point-by-point life history, though.)
> Ray can be described as an observer. He has a tendency to remain vocally detached from people, which makes his come across as either arrogant or introverted, neither of which is true. Ray prefers to submit to the philosophy "He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know." As experience in his younger days has taught him that running your mouth can cause trouble. Because of this he is very analytical and studious, learning through watching and mimicking.

He's loyal to a fault to those that he considered friends and will go to great lengths to help them. He has a strong sense of justice and won't tolerate evil. His years of training in as many forms of martial combat have given him a very disciplined nature and focused attitude, preferring to remain on target and not deviate from the plan.

Does your character have any skills or special abilities, a gimmick, or anything that makes it stand out as an athlete or fighter? If so, talk a little about it here. Be sure to include an explanation or origin story for anything unusual, extraordinary, or supernatural.
> Rays first and foremost ability is to conjure and manipulate his Chaos Energy as an offensive or defensive buff to his natural strength, but can only do so with some kind of focus such as a Chaos Drive or Emerald. These abilities come from years of proper training in Kajukenbo Karate and Pao Chui Gung Fu. After completing his basic training, Ray ventured out to bolster his fighting repertoire. These include:
Ansatsuken
In style boxing
Muai Thai
Vale Tudo
Capoeira
Olympic Taekwondo

Does your character have any purpose? (It's okay if you don't have this fully figured out yet, but all the better if your character does have an agenda or some sort of driving force to it to make it interact with other characters.)
> Ray's main focus is to fight. Perfecting his fighting style and becoming a true martial artist is what drives his travels and battles. If he so happens to find a higher purpose while on this journey he will gladly follow it, but until then, he'll continue to become the storm.

Does your character have an image? You can post it here, if so (as long as you follow the rules mentioned in the character guidelines). If not, please write a description of your character's appearance.

Will you be around to play your character regularly? (i.e. Keeping daily tabs on any threads you involve yourself in, and posting whenever it's your turn?)

Do you live in or near the Americas, or elsewhere? (It may be difficult for you to participate in any of the fast-moving sessions if you're only online when the rest of the group is asleep, so we ask this just to be aware of any potential problems.)

Are you okay with having your character information and image on this website (such as on the wiki)?

I'm going to be blunt about this. It's going to seem mean, but I believe it's better than beating around the bush.

Your character...

- Seems to be a Street Fighter Ryu expy
- Practices a laundry list of martial arts (clearly a fascination of yours, which in a Sonic RP makes you seem like a sofa-sitting martial arts enthusiast, and your character seem like a fantasized self-insert)
- Is the same species as an official character
- Has a spiny head like a hedgehog
- Has art that looks like it was single-stroke-moused in MSPaint (except with some token antialiasing)
- Wears the default Self-Insert Fancharacter wardrobe of jeans and a hoodie (though this standard attire can and often does include a t-shirt instead).

It doesn't break rules outright, but it doesn't seem like it would be any kind of remotely interesting addition to our RP, either. However, you clearly have a brain, you seem like a smart cookie, you've been polite and personable in the chat, and you can write. For this reason, rather than rejection or full, normal join acceptance, you've been marked as a Beginner Member. This means we acknowledge that you're probably a capable RPer, but your character profile hasn't quite been accepted and won't be placed on the wiki. Nonetheless, you will be able to play your character in our story as long as you are okay with the restrictions in the box below (which were copied from the how-to-join thread).


You'll be marked as a full member with no posting restriction once you've gotten a full character profile passed through here.

Let me try this one more time before accepting the beginner member title.

These abilities come from years of proper training in Kajukenbo Karate and Pao Chui Gung Fu. After completing his basic training, Ray started earning money in fights, quickly realizing that sparring in the ring was much different than a real match.

> Ray's first taste of heroics came from an encounter with a thuggish brute hustling a shop owner. The main course came when the brute returned with friends and took a young girl hostage. Unfortunately the brute and his friends were linked to a mysterious gang with powerful influences. Ray has resolved to find the leader of this gang and put an end to this hunt.

This is the exact same profile with the bulleted list of martial arts removed and his "goal" changed to what amounts to "he is the star of a late 80s sidescrolling beat'em-up arcade game."

I'm not sure what you hoped to accomplish with this.

Hmm, I guess I'll take the Beginner Member title since I can't figure out what exactly to do with this character right now.
