I'm interested in joining a RPG, but I'm not really sure what to do. I have listed a character in the Characters Compendium, at the bottom of the page, which is believed to be human. I designed him so I could throw him into any situation. I was wondering if he would be alright.

Since this is my first RPG, I dare say I'll be mainly using his manipulation techniques, prefering not to get into a direct fight. If he does get into a fight, he tends to keep it on the same level as his opponant. Hey, you could even use him for plot advancing, by PMing me what you want him to do. Perhaps keeping to the shadows, testing some hero's nerves.

I guess that's all I can say here. I'll let you decide whether or not he's OK.

Daniel219, if I well understood the concept of this RPG, you will have to try to make him fit in one of the cities and have him at some point in his life be an apprentice/student of one of the dojos, so you can always adapt in your background story the passing of your character in one of these cities and have him grow from this experience, though you can always have him join afterwards another RPG and use this experience to your advantage, or leave this part of his life out if you think things didn't go well enough.

Though the RPG creator has final word, so I'll let him word it out

Thank you Soldat for the well-made points.

Anyway Daniel219, after looking at your mentioned character's profile, I have to be honest. He would not really match as a character in Ki Masters because although he's belived to a human inside a suit, he pocesses some spell-like powers which is a no-no in the rules.
I don't think the suit thing would cut the mustard here either. No offence.
He also manipulates events which would be confusing.
He also sounds like a one-man-army character, which is also not allowed since I think it's fair that every character should at least mortal and definitely human.

The conclusion is that this character is much better off in another RPG or better yet, his own rpg.
If you can think of a human character that can fit in Ki Masters, you're more than welcome to post the profile. Your selection includes either sensei or student.
Don't worry, this is a first for me too.

Ketaro, you have the right idea. But there are improvements that I think can be made.
Such as the role of your sensei character. Is he the Ryu City Dojo Sensei or the Dark Dojo sensei (who is seemingly immortal as I've mentioned), that has lived or resides in Ryu City?
Descriptions are needed for your fighting skills, like for example, a double legged high kick somersault or your char doing a mid-air spinning kick and puch combo.
The same can be said Ki moves. Now these moves can take many forms like whether your char shoots a single ball of ki or the ki takes shape of various things like arrowheads, daggers or even animals like dragons, birds, lion heads etc.
Other Ki moves can be like the following examples: A single shot Ki comet that multiplies into three in mid-flight or a hot Ki shot that changes to freezing temperature to trap or disable an adversary.
Please let others know what your fighting is like, as fighting styles can identify an individual, much like fingerprints.
To my knowledge, the bad guy wants everyone else out the way, the most. The school rivalries are not really like a bloodfeud, but more like "we're better fighters than you and we shall prove it, even if we do some serious damage". Know what I mean?
I'll add the neutral choice in for Sides.
Also, please give detail into the character's appearance and personality. Simple descriptions like Average, very handsome or very fat won't do.
Distinctive features, hair, skin & eye coluor and clothing are very important, so anyone playing, auditioning or just reading would have an idea of the character in their heads.

That is all. I hope more people get intewrested in this. I know I am.

OK then, I might just see what I can do. I'm interested, it's just I was hoping not to have to create a new character. Knowing me, I'd most likely start thinking out his entire life in about 1 hour of madness...

By describing our fighting styles, do you mean our entire fighting style, or more specialist techniques? I'm guessing you'd at least want a basic description of their techniques (rapid, continued strikes, mid range damage), but do you want more detail about it in general, or just the specialist moves?

Just thinking, would something along the lines of KI-Dash (character seems to slide through opponent, appearing behind them allowing the character to attack them from behind), Ki-drain (drains Ki energy from all people nearby, friend or foe, recharging him by how much he drains) & Ki-dome (creates shielding bubble of Ki energy around character. Drains Ki energy slowly normally, but stronger attacks take more Ki energy to block. Can protect multiple characters) be alright with you? I think I'm coming up with a character as I write this, & these look like good Ki moves to me. See what I meant. I'm not even trying, & already this guy's coming together rapidly...

Congrates!! You're in. Nice profile.
Question: Is student or sensei?
Advice: More on bio if you can

Daniel219, Some characters can wear masks whether you want to remain on or can be taken off, it's to add some mystery to a character.
If you don't want to come up with a new character, then recycle your own as long as you can make fit into this universe, then that would be OK.
Technique description is vital since anyone can have an idea of what is happening. The specialist moves only really need the describing. Check out char's MA (Martial Arts) moves and you'll see.
Nice Ki Moves BTW.
