Your Gaia Name:Akamaaku
Character's name: Forza Angoscio
Status: Student
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance: Short blond hair and a childlike face. He has blue eyes and a fair complexion. He wears black suspender pants with a white polo underneath. He has a jacket over top where he places it on his shoulders and looks like he's part of a mafia. The back of the jacket holds his family crest which is a symbol for the Angoscio family of a white bird. His pants are black like his jacket and he wears black shoes. He wears a belt with the same crest chiseled on the buckle. His figure itself is child like as well.
Height: 5'5"
Strengths: He has godlike strength and is able to lift over five tonnes with both arms. His body is quite durable and is able to withstand most blows. These attributes are well known in his family line. He's great at throwing boomerangs and other objects.
Weaknesses: He's afraid of almost everything except for family and friends. He is quite paranoid and often screams and points out what he's afraid of or thinking of that causes him to run around frantically. Apparently this weakness is handed down through the family. Due to his kind and trusting nature he tends to try nonviolent ways to end a quarrel. He is also not that smart so it takes him a while to learn and comprehend certain situations. He also has no stamina whatsoever so he usually tires quite easily. The more force or weight he uses drains his energy quite dramatically.
Weapons: All he has is a small wooden boomerang. Was given a giant boomerang to work with.
Personality: He is gentle and doesn't like harm to happen to people even if they scare him. He is noble and usually will try his best if it isn't too scary to do. He is quite loyal and he has a friendly attitude after he gets over his fear of speaking to other people. Although he's afraid he often will protect anyone precious too him. But in most cases he opts to run and hide then to stay and fight.
Bio: Born of the noble family of Angoscio and well known to be the strongest beings in the world but with great strength comes with great weakness. They are a noble family known for producing insanely strong cowards. The most famous is Forza's father Fibra who was known as one of the five heroes in the first war with Ninden. The Angoscio family is made up of different families living under them and the role of the head male is to govern all the families. They are situated in Magdia City.
Forza will be the new head of the family and has already been betrothed to the daughter of another noble family. Wanting to protect his future wife and his family he decided to try and learn how to use weapons to get stronger. He found himself breaking every weapon he held. His father than later suggested to have a weapon specifically made for him. They wanted a well known black smith to create the weapon and found information that he was teaching at HoB school. So Forza and his fiance's brother went to the school to get weapons and also improve their skills.
Extra
He has the tendency to break everything in his way due to his monstrous strength and still cannot control his own strength.
Due to a misunderstanding he had to fight the future wife's brother in order for him to marry her. He won the battle by using a strange anomaly which was named his panic attack. When Forza is in a state panic that goes beyond what he can handle his mind will snap and will pick the personality of people he knows well. He beat the brother by going into that state and copying the personality of his mother who is very overbearing and tomboyish. Catching the brother off guard he manage to beat him and win the sister's hand in marriage. Although they are still young so he just chose to be her guardian since she's already a very strong mage.

The one problem I have with this profile was pointed out by GigaWraith, but applies to everything throughout.
"Superhuman Strength - The ability to pick up 5 tonnes and more with training."
"Panic Random - The term is used for his strange ability to change personalities to a someone he knows very well after reaching a point of desperation or high stress level from panicking."
"...a small wooden boomerang."
"He has godlike strength and is able to lift over five tonnes with both arms."
"He has the tendency to break everything in his way due to his monstrous strength."
His strength is at an incredible number. The first quote marks it at 5 tonnes or more, while the second-to-last says that it's over 5 tonnes per arm? The power necessary to do that would be enough to simply push through almost anything. Hitting a person even lightly with that much raw strength would blow apart their body. And his body would need an incredibly dense and thick bone structure, strong heart, and tight muscular system to support that much. That said, he'd be heavily muscled and extremely stocky, as well as weighing a huge amount. That much strength in a "childlike" body would need to mean magical reinforcements, and even if genetic that's like having a top-class amplification spell on all movements. With that much strength (force = speed, and with that much you can whip your arms at an incredible speed) he is likely the strongest person in the school by far.
That said, his weakness is fear. However, it looks like this weakness' main form is only for general occurrences: when he's afraid enough he snaps (this "panic random") and not only has a tomboyish, intelligent personality - from your example - but has absolutely no drawback to incredible strength. The weakness is effectively pointless other than for plot events.
Throwing a small wooden boomerang with enough force to lift 5 tons would make it blow apart on impact with anything. Wood is not particularly strong.
If he breaks everything in his way, then why was that not prominently featured in his bio. Breaking through everything in front of him is not something that will have no effect on his life.
Balance issues. Needs work...mainly, tone him down. He'd be more than fine with a sane amount of strength. As it stands he's basically godly.

First about the boomerang. The weapon he has is what he came to school with not what he's going to end up with. Plus the boomerang is a toy that he plays with. Later he will get a proper weapon but not now.
Now about his weakness. Fear is and probably one of the biggest weakness a warrior can ever have. Because of his many phobia you can assume that many things will effect his decision making and fighting ability. What good is strength if you can't aim, or don't even have the will to use it. That's what makes this family so strange. They are strong but they don't use their strength to dominate a kingdom. There is no way, shape, or form he will be able to get over all of his fears but he'll try and cope with it when the time comes, which is character development.
Yes I know I gave him quite an unusual amount of strength and it was on purpose. The whole reason why I did was so that it would confuse most characters and also give this kid one edge over other characters. He has no weapon skills whatsoever and he needs a defense. He's not smart or athletic. The strength only allows him to lift, throw, and hold heavy things.
Last I don't need to put the tends to break things in the bio since it has no purpose there. It is under extras to let people know that he does these things.

AkaMaaku First about the boomerang. The weapon he has is what he came to school with not what he's going to end up with. Plus the boomerang is a toy that he plays with. Later he will get a proper weapon but not now. Didn't he use a giant boomerang at some point? I quote: AkaMaaku Nodding his head fervently, he picked up his giant boomerang and threw it like it was a paper ball. It was at first soaring through the air towards the target until it veered right and destroyed the tree next to the target. It then began it's return and hit the left tree of the target. He caught the boomerang as it pushed him a bit back. "I missed." He said as he was fearing for his life. I failed already...she might kill me. He looked at Vaera and then at the two trees his boomerang decimated. (Saturday, p51). That doesn't sound like a toy, and if you got a giant boomerang at some point, I don't see it anywhere. AkaMaaku Now about his weakness. Fear is and probably one of the biggest weakness a warrior can ever have. Because of his many phobia you can assume that many things will effect his decision making and fighting ability. What good is strength if you can't aim, or don't even have the will to use it. That's what makes this family so strange. They are strong but they don't use their strength to dominate a kingdom. There is no way, shape, or form he will be able to get over all of his fears but he'll try and cope with it when the time comes, which is character development. Slight problem here - given that, how does his "panic random" ability, as you called it, make sense with this? While he might freeze up at some times, when it comes down to the absolute wire and he goes into a panic, this ability makes him perfectly capable of using his strength. Given that fear is "one of the biggest weaknesses a warrior can ever have," why does he have an ability that completely negates fear when it's at its most extreme? A normal person would deal with that fear by going into shock (read Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlen, the MC's fear causes him to go into a catatonic state until he snaps out of it and overcomes it in his own mind) but Forza will keep panicking, which will get him more panicked, and as it escalates he'll reach the breaking point and suddenly...his fear disappears? What? Also, emotional weakness is different from physical weakness or lack of skill. I'll talk about that in a sec. (Continued, was getting errors)

(Continuation) AkaMaaku Yes I know I gave him quite an unusual amount of strength and it was on purpose. The whole reason why I did was so that it would confuse most characters and also give this kid one edge over other characters. He has no weapon skills whatsoever and he needs a defense. He's not smart or athletic. The strength only allows him to lift, throw, and hold heavy things. "Quite an unusual" is an understatement, you said flat-out that it was godlike. Not sure how that would confuse most characters, but it definitely gives him one edge over them - if he swings randomly (because he's panicked) and hits you once, you die. Five tons worth of impact will break every bone within a foot of where it hits you. A normal person would hemorrhage blood just from being grazed, a trained and hardened fighter would be sent flying. Five tons ("and more with training") is just far too much to make any sense. Now add on to that the fact that he has what you listed as "superhuman durability," which is reasonable due to the muscle density he would need. Not only would it be obvious (unless he has...some sort of absurd magical strength?) to anyone looking at him that he's very strong just from his muscles, in a fight he can just stand there and you can't really kill him. And it's been determined that if he hits you you die ninety-nine percent of the time. He's the absolute peak of physical perfection in that case. Now fear as a weakness is a good idea. In fact it makes a lot of sense. But you're working with a character that has been described as godlike already, and with a built-in safeguard against fear that prevents him from its most extreme effects. Also, you describe that he "will protect anyone precious to him." What happens when someone tells him that 'look - you don't need to fight like a genius or even take a hit. Just get near them and swing your arms a few times with all your strength.' Ow? Fear as a weakness is something he has to overcome mentally, and it's a great idea. However, it's not something that lets you balance such massive physical abilities, especially with a mental protection against fear given (and tested, apparently, as it came up in his 'Extra'). AkaMaaku Last I don't need to put the tends to break things in the bio since it has no purpose there. It is under extras to let people know that he does these things. I would say that breaking everything in your way would really, really change your life growing up. It's something that shapes the way you see everything from the instant it manifests itself. But that might be just me. ~Andarel

His fear doesn't just disappear it finds a persona of a character he came into contact with. See if he change persona to a magic user like his fiance, he will try to chant out spells and the sort. The panic ability is pretty much random. Sometimes it will help him sometimes it will just make him weaker. This ability applies to everyone he has came to know of. He can even start acting like a squirrel if he got to talk to one.
The large wooden boomerang, if you read the posts was given to him to train with. IT IS A LARGE wooden boomerang and is quite dense. Also it has seals on it courtesy of Akakage.
Okay I agree that his strength can be over the top and was going to put a limiter to it. I kind of rushed him a little due to being lazy and the strength was going to be paired up with lack of stamina. I forgot to put it in and that was my fault. That's what his physical limitations were.

Sometimes it will help him sometimes it will just make him weaker. This ability applies to everyone he has came to know of. He can even start acting like a squirrel if he got to talk to one. Wait, where was this explained? (If it was in the RP I didn't see it, I only joined at the end of Day 4). From the profile - which is where I was looking - it souns like he copies the personality of someone he "knows very well". Give his strength, and since everyone he knows is less fearful than he is (it's his weakness, not theirs), it makes sense that a lot of the fear would disappear as it goes off. And I doubt he'd know a squirrel very well, so there are only a few people who are legitimate options for it to go off into. AkaMaaku The large wooden boomerang, if you read the posts was given to him to train with. IT IS A LARGE wooden boomerang and is quite dense. Also it has seals on it courtesy of Akakage. I joined at the end of day 4, and so didn't see him get that weapon, probably. In a way, that weapon makes things trickier - it covers up for lack of range by giving him a long-range weapon with theoretically infinite uses. And since he's so strong you can't interrupt it. Still, not that big a deal. AkaMaaku Okay I agree that his strength can be over the top and was going to put a limiter to it. I kind of rushed him a little due to being lazy and the strength was going to be paired up with lack of stamina. I forgot to put it in and that was my fault. That's what his physical limitations were. Can't really comment on that since I haven't seen it worked out, but all I'll say is that my main complains with Forza really only take 2 forms: o His strength, given the numbers you matched it with, is insane - which gives a lot of implications. o His "panic random" ability is hard for me to understand, given that the way you described it isn't the way I thought of it in the profile. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but given the example of it being used and the description, it seems a lot more useful than you made it out to be in your last post. That said, in my eyes the amount of strength that I can see right now (quick google) the strongest human alive lifting with both arms (a bench press) is just over half a ton. This person had short arms (which helps) and was insanely muscular, almost unhealthily so. Given that, I could see a child lifting perhaps 400 pounds with each arm (with both arms that would be somewhere around 900-950 probably), but not 12 times that. Just my thoughts.

Okay if this will make you happy. Laure'ka gave their family the gift of the strength of a god because she knew they're family won't misuse the gift.
I'll explain his panic random a little better .... as you know I'm lazy.
