Description Application for RP group.

Well, I never expected to want to join this group, but then I discovered two friends of mine were in it.
Apparently, it was fate. X'D



Meet this precious ball of fuzz.



|BASIC INFO|

    Name: Charles "Charlie" Arling
    Age: 17
    Birthday: August 17th
    Gender: Male
    Species: Chespin
    Sexuality: Demiromantic
    Nature: Timid
    Summary Characteristic: Quick to flee



|PERSONAL INFO|

    Personality

    Pros:
-Hard-working
-Ambitious
-Comforting
    Neuts:
-Clingy
-Jumpy
    Cons:
-Cowardice
-Weak-hearted

    Charlie is a complete coward. He can easily break down and even faint over the simplest things, from giving and receiving advice to standing next to someone taller than him. He can be awfully clingy as well; he is always in desperate need of support, as he feels he cannot function without it... And the way he behaves shows that it's pretty close to the truth! Once he finds a person to trust, he would stick to them like glue and acts a tad less anxious. Until that happens, he's a pretty fearful young fellow.
    Luckily, he does have his moments where his meister abilities shine through. For example, while he is an anxious mess, he has his heart in the right place; he is slowly developing a habit of forcing himself from the pan into the fire, so to speak. He has his ambitions, as he has long ago realized his fears will never get him to where he wants to go, and he tries his best to take every opportunity to face his fears. Especially after his uncle made him realize his lowkey courage, he tries his very best to make it more prominent.
    He's a very fast learner as well, as his obedience and listening skills contribute to the ability to mimic other's actions almost spot-on. His clinginess can also be seen as die-hard loyalty as well. At the end of the day he is also a very comforting shoulder to lean on... Albeit a short one.

    Likes:
Oversized jackets and dressware; sweets, especially strawberry-flavored; hugs and other friendly gestures (but only from those he trusts); flowers and colorful plantlife; the color purple; anything fluffy!
    Dislikes:
Pressure; being alone, especially among a crowd; tooth-and-claw/feral fighting, anything uncomfortably warm, especially fire.

    Backstory

    Charlie was born into a fairly profitable family, his mother and father both earning their keep in their own growing businesses. With the money they have earned, the young Chespin was able to get most anything he desired; a recipe for a spoiled brat, right? However, he was rarely ever happy growing up, as this nice life came at a price; his parents and their attention. He never received the support and love a child like him should get, and being born with an already fragile heart and weak spirit that comes with timidity, the poor fellow quickly became anxious and unsure of himself. That unsureness evolved into total cowardice as he grew, reports of fainting or getting sick in class an almost weekly occurance in his school. Sadly, his parents did very little about it except for supply him with a few of his stress-relieving comforts; fluffy toys and his favorite overly-large jacket he turns to for security. He struggled with anxiety for much of his life, and he was always disappointed in himself for it, as he wished he would do better under pressure...

    The discovery of Charlie being a meister changed everything. It had been a lost, hidden secret among both sides of the family that they had a long line-up of meisters and weapons. This fact was basically disregarded, as a calm, profitable life tended to be preferred among family members. That is, except for his uncle; a rebellious weapon on his father's side. Although Charlie feared him and his father regarding him as a pest, his uncle tested his young nephew to see if he was a meister by asking about souls; if he could see them, what they looked like, all the other stuff. When Charlie replied with unsure results-- he could see souls, but he always mistook them as anxious hallucinations--, he tried a second method; he transformed into a weapon by surprise to see how he would react. Sure enough, Charlie's wavelengths reacted; he went to grip the weapon as if by instinct rather than cowering away like he usually would, and found he easily handled the weapon even though he never even touched a kitchen knife in his life.  This thrilled his uncle, but of course his parents disapproved and scolded the crazy fellow. Charlie, however, to everyone's and his own surprise, was on his uncle's side on this one; it was the first time he ever felt truly confident about doing something out of the ordinary, and he thought that this could potentially create a turning point in his life. He would finally feel brave, he could change his ways of seeing the world, and maybe, just maybe, he could find someone to truly look up to at long last. Even if the discovery was made by his uncle just to spite his father and was rather forced and-- according to his father-- apparently dangerous, Charlie was more than happy that his meister abilities were revealed to him.

    His uncle brought his nephew to Death City, where he would be able to learn how to weild weapons properly and to be the second in the family to actually use their abilities for great things. On the way, his uncle made certain to leave a bigger crack in the Chespin's sheltered exterior, planting the seed to his newfound ambitious trait. The sneak-attacks of turning into a weapon were almost a daily occurrence during the journey as to coax the bravery out of the poor learning meister, and they did make stops to practice handling anything resembling a weapon he could find. Although the Chespin was overwhelmed throughout all this, he was more than ready to greet a new life that would, hopefully, change him for the better.

Hello! DWMA admin team! We like your app, you're pretty much there, but...

While your character has a very well written personality, and well-constructed backstory our issue lies with how it reads right now, it's implied in the backstory, but we don't see a lot of  fight in him. You note he's loyal, but he wouldn't really take a bullet,  and he gets anxious and worked up a lot. Perhaps a couple more traits or more elaboration on how he would work out in the field and we'd be satisfied but how he reads the character himself doesn't seem cut out for the life of a DWMA Meister, who's life is gonna be on the battlefield, or why he wanted to join the DWMA? what part of his personality wanted to overcome his fear?

'-Don't try and judge his sexuality; his anxiety can be easily compared to crush-like, to the point where it wouldn't be ridiculous to call him bi.' this seems like an odd way to describe sexuality, we'd prefer it without it but perhaps something more like "He tends to get worked up and flustered around most everyone."

Ah, hello!

I see the faults you noted, and yes, I kinda figured that's where the holes would be. Skittish characters tend to be my main trait I lean towards, though I probably should have noted that this is a major fighting RP group and characters that panic do not tend to fit in well. I'll see to finding a way to fixing that little kink and add a trait that'll make him more determined, if not developing a different character for the next opening and/or to partner up with someone.
The sexuality thing I kinda get as well, and I can easily get rid of that. At the time I thought I needed a third-person point of view of describing his unknown love interest, but recently I kinda realized it seems somewhat out of place. I can easily just leave that completely ambiguous.

Thank you for your time! I'll be fixing up this app and/or starting from scratch, and I'll get back to you guys as soon as I can!

If you'd like some suggestions, maybe you could amp up the idea that he's braver than he thinks? Like he thinks he would be scared but if he saw his friend getting in danger his legs would start moving without him knowing why? Like there's a hero in there under his cowardice/skittish nature? Thats just my thoughts on it! Sorry for getting to you so late!

Don't worry, I've talked to HDuece77 about it, and I've already managed to formulate a plan. I should be getting back to you before the night ends. :'D
And don't worry about it, I get that you guys have been busy! It's hard managing a huge group, I get it. Trust me, with governing huge groups of preteens the past 3 years as volunteer work... XD

Okay, there we go, didn't take too long. XD Thanks for the suggestions beforehand, by the way!
Now I have fixed this form and it's all ready to go for a second attempt! Let me know if there's anything else that needs changing!
