"Cascade Falls"

Not sure why the roleplay seems to think I haven't added rules. I have. Anyway. Here's a brief description of the powers the characters will receive through the five different stages;

Progressions of Power will be controlled by me, and will be as follows:
Stage One
Air - Can stir breezes slightly.
Light - Can brighten lightbulbs, make them last slightly longer, etc.
Life - Can make plants grow the slightest bit faster.
Water - Can make small amounts of water move faster or slower.
Shadow - Can grow or shrink shadows slightly.
Fire - Can raise heat or lower it slightly of already existing fire.
Death - Can cause minor illness in plants.
Earth - Can cause cracks in small rocks or form a series of pebbles into a larger rock.
Stage Two
Air - Can create winds and breezes freely
Light - Can control the brightness of any already existing light source, except for celestial bodies.
Life - Can grow plants faster, and control their growth.
Water - Can make existing clouds release rain, can make larger amounts of water move faster or slower.
Shadow - Can grow or shrink shadows without effort, enough to fill a room.
Fire - Can grow or shrink existing fires within the range of small bonfire to an ember.
Death - Can cause major illness, possibly fatal, in plants.
Earth - Can cause cracks in and merge rocks that they would be strong enough to pick up in two hands.
Stage Three
Air - Can give direction to clouds, and create strong winds and, if clouds are present, moderately sized tornados.
Light - Can create minor illusions and cause temporary blindness, as well as controlling brightness of all light sources save celestial bodies.
Life - Can grow plants extremely fast, and control their growth, as well as adjust their genetics as to make them larger or smaller at full size. Minor healing powers.
Water - Can create clouds, release rain, control snow and ice, and make large amounts of water move extremely fast or stop moving.
Shadow - Can ministrate small amounts of bodily control through a person or object's shadow, can also cause temporary blindness and remove colour from objects.
Fire - Can grow or shrink existing fire without limits, can also perform minor manipulations of it.
Death - Can cause major illness in plants, and minor illness and injury in people and animals.
Earth - Can cause cracks and merges in rocks without limitation as long as the two rocks he/she is trying to merge are close enough to be touching.
Stage Four
Air - Can manipulate air currents and most weather without limitation. Can fly for short periods of time.
Light - Can create illusions and cause temporary blindness, as well as control brightness of all light sources, save celestial bodies.

Lufia, I found a few things.
Seeing as this is a semi-realistic roleplay, if your character was orphaned, he'd need to be moved to Cascade Falls with a foster family. No one would sell property or anything to a minor, and since everybody knows everybody else in Cascade, it would be hard for *someone* not to find out.
Also, unless there's ample reason for him to have an exotic name as such, he should have a pretty regular one. This is set in a little mountain town in Colorado in 2012, so an exotic name is a tad unrealistic.
One last thing; as of the start of the roleplay, the characters have only entered and been in phase one for a few days. They might not even be *aware* they have powers since stage one is so minor.
Other than those things, you're golden.

Done. As far as my sheet goes, I'm technically finished, but I'll flesh it out some tomorrow. :)

Edit: if no one decides to reserve Water soon, I can, so that we may get started.

All right, ToccoaClark, I'm not really interested in having people reserve more than one character just yet, but I'll speak to you if it seems like it will be a necessity.

Dumisa, I've found a few things wrong with your character:
1. His personality seems very underdeveloped. Two sentences is very minimum. Perhaps a little fleshing would help.
2. He and Claus share an awful lot; both the quiet and dead parents aspects, quiet because of misfortune after they suffered in the past...
3. Dead parents. I usually only allow one character with dead parents in a roleplay at a time. It's... touchy. Not many people have both parents die. I actually only know three people at the moment with one dead parent, and I know a lot of people. I know cliches are cliche for a reason and they do tell stories well, but having two characters with the same cliche dead parents backstory in one roleplay... well. I might allow it, but please do take out the other tragic things, such as being treated 'like a slave boy'. I prefer less flat characters in roleplays I intend to keep up for a while. I intend to torture these characters enough as a DM in the longrun, they don't need a tragic past as well. I'd just like it to be more believable. I mean. I know it's fantasy, but all the same. If a child is treated badly, they'll speak up, and social services will generally act. I mean. If you're set on the character having a tragic backstory as he does, he can have his tragic backstory, just flesh it out and make it a little more believable. Look at Blair Garner for a good example of a well-balanced, but still short biography.

And this next bit goes to all of our roleplayers:

I'd like you to make sure your character has at least one major weakness, and one major strength of equal or lesser value in their personality description. This is going to be a hardy roleplay in which I, as the DM, am going to exploit both strengths and weaknesses of the character, so I need to know a bit about them. And make sure your character isn't too much like another character. I want to have fun and variety basing the entire universe we're going to be playing with off of the strengths and weaknesses of your characters. If you make any changes or would just like to tell me about your character, please do post in the OOC.

How does this sound, as far as weakness?

Luce goes into an atypical absence seizure (see below for definition) every time he sees large amounts of blood, as he is, as of NOW, hemophobic.

As for a strength, his plain ol' logic skills, already listed in the personality.

So... how's that sound?

Atypical Absence Seizure (in case you didn't know already)-
Atypical absence seizures are similar to typical absence seizures, except they tend to begin more slowly, last longer (up to a few minutes), and can include slumping or falling down. The person may also feel confused for a short time after regaining consciousness. While the cause of atypical seizures may be unidentifiable, they are sometimes traced to abnormalities in the brain that were present at birth (congenital) or from trauma or injury, or from complications from liver or kidney disease. This type of seizures may continue into adulthood.
