Of course not. But if you really think Everyone's actually going to care about your character as to actually read all your research? I got bad news for you. I am not saying your efforts are wasted. It's just that not everyone is used to read that much. Or it's not actually worth reading it if you are first starter. If you have taken a look, the biggest group of rp ers active on gaia are newbies. Peorple that barely make it out with a line. Or just write 4-5 lines about people giving their first step. Not actual or educated role players. As such, a big chunk of information would either be scary as hell to read. They just want to rp, not take martial arts classes.
Again, I am Not saying your profile is useless. it's just not newbie friendly. I am also Not saying that you should get rid of it. On your main profile place as less information as possible. So that everyone can understand it. just so they know oh he has this kind of ability. And give a general description3-5 lines max. Give them time to read about the character and decide if they are interested or not in it. And for those lucky enough. On the next page (Check Alexandra's profile for an example) Then you add all your goodies. Post codes. Detailed information. That way you actually give newbies an opportunity to know your character. Take it as if you are writting a book.
The main profile should be like "Illo for dummies" So that even the dumbest people can understand what Illo is and what does he do. He punches things. No big science to it. Also a Meister that can get really powerful when using the third eye.
And the next page, should be "Illo for for advanced people" Illo is the Iron Phoenix. Who has been instructed in X martial art. As such the techniques of "X ability" This ability is based on the "X principle" of "Y martial art" and works this way.
"A ability" This ability is based on the "X principle" of which was intended to be used as a defensive/offensive mechanism.
And then write until your heart is content.
see that is logical and fare (:
i also think no character should have an ability or even have it written anywhere that he cant be overtaken in hand to hand -_- thats borderline god powers. and even shinigami lost once to hand to hand.
i think you have the idea for a strong character after watching lots of over powered anime characters, guilds are not like that and require the ability to be hit and to hit in detailed form.
Ok, let me clarify. I'm not saying Illo can't be overtaken. That was a bad choice of words. I are not good at saying thing simple.
well can you tell us what you meant then?
take in mind your opening statement involved having a punch that was nearly impossible to block.
Which punch is nearly impossible to block?
the interceptor punch, you said without seeing the move its hard to predict, but in a fight when an arm is raised its easy to tell a punch is being used.
tho once again i could be misunderstanding the situation.

The Intercepting Fist is a fighting philosophy, not limited to any specific punch. I don't know how much you know about Jeet Kune Do, so I don't wanna insult you by regaling you with the whole spiel on it. Jeet Kune Do is just Cantonese for Intercepting Fist.
You expect me to trust that everyone automatically knows the complexities of the intercepting fist? I'm not buying it. I have this stubborn belief that says fighting is more than just turn-based punches and kicks until someone punches or kicks harder than the other guy, or uses a bigger laser than the other guy to win. If that's really how simple it is, Pokemon tactics really, then I've really overestimated roleplaying.
So, ability:
Martial Arts: Through the most rigorous training, Illo has gained knowledge of a vast variety of martial arts forms and has developed his own form of Jeet Kune Do. Illo cannot be surprised or otherwise overtaken directly in hand to hand combat
You can't tell me that gives you enough information on Illo's capabilities as a boxer...

Funny, I've already started implementing a similar system into my regular posting. Whether you want to call it babbling or not, I like to think I'm being poetic, I came to the conclusion that it would expedient to explain myself in a spoiler section of my posts. If I just reverse the process, then I should have pretty much what you're talking about, wherein the simple version leads and the complex could stay neatly tucked away in another spoiler for those who want to know why a Hakuta punch is so devastating and how I would use it.
Right, so no one reads. I gather that. We're on the internet. I was writing in the details for the crew, but hey, why not dumb it down for the kiddies? Is that about it? How boring.
Whatever. I gave my opinion. Take it or leave it. Have a good day.

Of course not. I'm just kicking myself out of the topic before I do. No point in getting mad, so, no point in keeping the topic. We just gave opinions that's all.
So, taking Illo aside. How are you doing with the other characters?

ohhh then i was incorrect on my statment, i apologise.
(: please do not be rude to others or there opinions. think of it more as a fresh image on your own idea, she may even be able to help you.

Well, I think better actually. lol Now that I'm getting a sense for what a working ability looks like, I'm seeing the my newer creations have much more in the way of functionality.
Suppose that just goes to show, though, that your first RPC is probably not going to be all that great.
How long have you been RPing?

Rude? I don't get it. Well, I suppose it's hard to tell these things from the inside out, so I'll take your word for it. I don't mean to come off as some kinda p***k know-it-all though...
And yeah, Illo's Jeet Kune Do is a lot of Cavat, Tai Chi Quan, etc. Hell, I even threw in a few Brazilian Juijitsu moves in there. lol
What's really interesting/fun to play is the concept of Jeet Kune Do applied to the mystic powers he has.

How long have you been RPing?
Around 3 years. And not necessarily. Sure we always screw up on our first creations no one is excepted from them. But they are the greatest since the first characters are the ones that show us our flaws and how to improve when building one. Eventually you can make a reboot. Honestly, some characters are just too good. The reboot is just minimal.

Right, the inevitable reboot. That's a nice way to think about it. So, I gather that accessibility is key when making a good RPC.
I like to use a lot of environmental effects and CC as well. Perhaps I should start slower? Idk, I've been doing this for two years Where would you place me on your little scale?
BTW I hope I didn't come off as an a**. I don't mean to be one, and I can never tell if I'm seeming like it.

Might as well get as many opinions as possible.
What do you guys look for in an RPC? A good one. Also, how should a player try to better himself in the realm of RP?

There isnt a written guide as to what a good RPC is since we are talking about a wide range of options and variations.
What I am speaking of is a Newbie friendly character. Illo may be a good RP character but he is a complex character, not a newbie friendly.
Take my character for instance and also Gray reaper's They are newbie friendly.
People read what they need to read and poof! all happy.
If someone is interested enough as to investigate or ask the deep roots of our characters, well we can proceed to create a special section for those trivia hunters. Apart from the main profile so that it can still be newbie friendly but also offer some juicy backstory and interesting facts to entertain the curious ones.
But I had to qualify Illo as he is right now. He'll probably go to advanced. But unlike Saint Clara he's able to participate on lower divisions without screwing up his whole kit.

So, what about CC? Thoughts?
Well I'm not fond of martial arts. But they usually are about making the other loose balance. So, knock backs, airborne tosses should be good on him. You nerf it? I am not going to try to imagine what he was before the nerf.
