Jack "The Ripper"

[Soggydog]

Name: Jack "The Ripper" Krawson.
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Weapons: Jack wields the Nex Complexo a blade found when the Firestarters unearthed the Fatis Mirajin. The Nex Complexo is a magic sword that can be re-sized between anything ranging from a dagger to a great sword. When Blood touches the Nex Complexo the blade widens at the top, causing massive damage to any living thing the blade has been thrust into. The Nex Complexo also grants near super human strength and speed, during moments of stress. Jack carries around 15 smoke pellets and small throwing knives on his person. He also carries one scroll of minor teleport with him, it turns to scrap after one use, and needs to be replaced.
Faction: The Firestarters
Job: Ninja
Romantic Orientation: Heterosexual
Appearance: Although he is young his face is scarred and grizzled looking. His eyes are a piercing yellow, and show a hint of madness. He is fairly small, around 5' 6". He is lean and muscular.
Attitude: Jack is under the impression that if he does not kill at least two people on a mission he is doing something wrong (Though he does not know it, the Nex Complexo is secretly driving him to kill). He comes across as somewhat daft. When he is not on a mission, or in a serious mood, he seems to stumble around as though he is drunk and not entirely in control of where he is going (And he may in fact not be).
Notable history: Jack was a migrant before joining the firestarters. He was blessed with wit, keen sight, and the uncanny ability to survive any bad situations he ran across. After he joined he was not treated with much respect, that is until he was given the task of infiltrating a Sonambulist compound in order to sabotage their newest model of robot. He ended up crawling through an air duct that had rusted and lost its durability, and fell right into a Sonambulist conference meeting. The 10 people attending the meeting all pulled their weapons and jumped him. He fought like a man possessed and ended up disemboweling 4 of them and mortally wounding the rest. From that day on he was known as Jack "The Ripper".
Reputation: Jack is known for his ability to survive anything, and as a very odd person.

Point -- The Firestarters didn't actually unearth the Fatis Mirajin, they created it. Sort of. I dunno.

I shall re-read this after I eat dinner.

[Soggydog]

Ah well the details were sketchy on that, so I just rolled with it. I can change it if you want.

[Athena]

Yeah, I need to re-write it. Anyhow, it doesn't particularly matter.

"He comes across as somewhat daft." -- This is brilliant.

Anyhow. Approved.

Equipment: Jack wears a fairly heavy long leather jacket that he refers to as his "lucky" jacket. It offers very good protection against small weapons such as daggers, and decent protection against slashes from larger weapons such as swords.

*Add*
The Nex Complexo will not accept any wielder other than it's owner. If anyone other than Jack attempts to hold it, spikes will extend from the hilt badly hurting the persons hand.

I'm really sorry for saying this, but I'm revoking the approval, with permission from Athena, on the grounds that he's a Mary-Sue.

For those of you who are unaware, a Mary-Sue is a character who fulfills one or more of the following criteria:
1. (S)he is devilishly attractive to all members of the opposite sex. It's okay to be attractive, but there's a point where it becomes too much.
2. (S)he is liked by everyone, opposite sex or not. Nobody is liked by everyone.
3. (S)he can survive anything with relative ease. This sets them apart from most video game characters in that video game characters work for their victories.
4. (S)he is a "lore-child," or (for example) a half-demon half-elf half-dragon demon-slaying "badass" with wings. This is an extreme version and should not be taken literally.

This is by no means a complete list. For more information, go to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Sue. For our standards, however, the four criteria here shall be used.

Reputation: Jack is known for his ability to survive anything, and as a very odd person.

I'd recommend just generally looking over the character and finding things that might be Mary-Sue-ish. If he was seriously injured when he disemboweled the four people and mortally wounded the rest (read: nearly dead), that's a definite Mary-Sue characteristic.

The reason why I'm pointing this out is because when we're RPing, it's no fun to roleplay with someone like this. They're often arrogant in character and act like they can do anything (and by their standards, they can). They often god-mode by making it so that they miraculously don't get hurt (or don't get hurt badly). I'm not saying you're going to, but from the way you currently have the character, it certainly seems that way. Fix it up, and I'll approve it again.

I've also received complaints about this character in private PMs from people who I will not name, which is proof that this character is starting to annoy others. Because of this, I support Snow's decisions. Denied. Please rework the character until it is no longer a Mary-Sue and then make a new post in the thread with the new, complete profile.
