Alright Hydrath, nice start! But obviously some editing is in order before I can accept you. Physical Description: -what colour is his eyes, hair, etc. Is he slender, muscular, stocky? What colour is his skin? Does his scales tint or affect his skin at all? What's his usual clothing style? Please keep in mind that some people need a strong description to role play with you. Possessions: How is the sword retractable? Does it work like a switch blade? Background: The history you have so far is great, but I'd like you to flesh it out a bit more. Also, Markus cannot be in London right now due to the blockade set up by the American government. Other than that, great start!

Getting better Drath! I'll draw a pic, yes if that's what you want, HOWEVER! This does NOT get you out of describing Markus -shakes finger- Flesh out your points and I'll accept this. Meaning, explain the ability. An example would be: Swimming:Markus due to his new webbed hands and feet, can now swim with a level of excellence, enabling him to fight and move rapidly should the need arise. Add some description, limitation and explanation as to why he has these abilities and traits. Also - why not just summarize what you e-mailed me earlier, Drath? Add what happened and such but kinda just summarize everything

“You should really find something better to do on your spare time Markus?” Markus’ mother, Amber Kramer, cried out in utter disappointment. “You’re going to get yourself into trouble one of these days.” From across the dinner table Markus gave his mother a blank stare, something he frequently gave to questions and statements that displeased him. Markus Kramer is 23 years old, he loves to play video games but his mother on the other hand couldn’t stand them. Markus was playing on his Nintendo 3DS at the dinner table. His mother didn’t like seeing his brown eyes gazing at a screen while at the dinner table. The Nintendo 3DS was Markus’ favourite gaming system. He loved to boast about it’s amazing graphics, dual screen and touch screen support, and being able to view games in 3D. Even his mother thought the system was a neat toy. After a moment of thought Markus replied “By trouble, do you mean your constant nagging? I really don’t see how you think I’m going to get into trouble. If anything my gaming has kept me out of trouble.” Since he was 10 years old, Markus loved to play video games of all sorts. He spent much of his days playing and memorizing the various secret and strategies used to win both quickly and efficiently. His mother, not liking the attitude in him responded, “How do you expect to find a girlfriend like this? You’re 5’6”; barely any muscle in you, constantly playing video games, and play make-believe with a sword.” She really didn’t think that low of him she liked how he always tried to stay clean cut, Markus always kept shaved and his hair styled somewhat professional although he like the windblown look. However, she felt a need to show her disapproval for his sword playing hobby. Markus gave a long deep breath after hearing those statements. After thinking a while he bluntly requested “Have anything positive to say about me?” Markus was obviously not amused where the conversation was going. “Gee, I can’t think of anything at the moment? Oh I know, maybe if you found some real friends and do something other than play silly video games.” She was in fact; glad he’ll spend hours in the pool swimming around. When he was six years old he told his mother he wanted to grow up to be a fish. She just didn’t approve of his abundance of time spent online with friends he never met. In frustration Markus replied “Don’t be silly. A is a wonderful friend, even though we only know each other from the internet. Besides after tomorrow you would have no reason to say I have no real friends since we’ll be meeting in Clarensford. Plus, I do have other activities then just video games.” Markus’s mother did not want Markus to go on his 14 day trip to Clarensford, New York. It was Markus’ idea to prove to his mother he had real friends. Markus has never seen a picture of A or knows anything of A’s personal life. They met in a co-operative online strategy game, Markus was randomly chosen to be A’s partner. Markus was edified by A’s amazing strategies and since then became good friends. A was the one who invited Markus over to Clarensford. A also, spent a lot of time with video games, or anything that has to do with technology. Markus was both excited and anxious to meet A for the first time. A had promised to give Markus a customized sword he has always wanted. A had engineered it to work like a switchblade knife so it was easy to carry around. Markus’ Mother, shaking her head says “I don’t trust that place. Some day those mad scientists are going to get the people into a lot of trouble. There are rumours all over about secrecy in a few of those labs some of the labs aren’t supposed to be known to the public. For all we know, you could be coming back with extra body parts or worse, cancer.” This wasn’t the first time she’s mentioned her concerns with the city. Before Markus told her his plans to visit A she has been telling him about the rumours. Markus always told her back that she was nothing more but paranoid. He to thought something was going on in the city. Cleransford was known for its advancements in science. One could have found a genius around every corner. It was in abundance with science, technology, and weird ideas. Even Markus thought the rumours of mad scientist performing strange experiments were true. One of the reasons for him going is to also investigate the city with the help of A. “An extra body part might be an improvement. I for one would love for to come back with upgrades.” Markus says amusingly. “Doesn’t matter, it’s not like anything is going to happen. Scientists have safety procedures so accidents don’t happen. Not to mention places like the internet is full of lies. You’re just trying to come up with reasons for me not to go, eh.” Markus closes his Nintendo 3DS and stands up to leave. As he walks out he says, “Well it’s been a lovely dinner conversation thus far but I have to get ready for tomorrow morning, eh.” As soon as Markus entered his room he went straight for his computer. He had a small room, only enough space for his bed, desk, and dresser. The closet was stuffed with things, most notably his video games. When the computer booted up he opened a voice chat with A “Evening A, hope everything is going good for you right now.” “Yes everything is going good. What’s up?” Of course A’s voice was filtered. He or she kept a very private life. Even thought A considered Markus to be a close friend A still wanted to wait until they met in person before revealing too much about him. As A and Markus were having their voice chat, Markus dug his luggage out of his closet and started to pact. “I’m just packing at the moment. Making sure I have enough for my little adventure starting tomorrow.” “Make sure you bring some note taking tools if you have, I’m rather limited in supplies at the moment. Microphones, cameras, paper, anything will do. You’re 3DS is a must.” As Markus was gathering all the supplies he can think of for taking notes he chuckled then asked “For someone who claims to love all the new gadgets and ticker with them I’m surprised you’d need cameras and microphones from me. And what on earth makes the Nintendo 3DS so important?” “Just because I love technology that doesn’t mean I’m rich enough to have all and cameras and microphones I want. I do have all the tools I’ll need though. As for the 3DS I plan on modifying it to act as an advance communication device. I’ll just fuse the cell phones I bought into the system.” “Whoa! Now we’re really getting into this investigation aren’t we.” Markus exclaimed amused at the idea. “Are you sure your inventions will work?” “I believe so; I’ve already modified my 3DS now all I need is another modified 3DS to fully test it. I can’t wait to try this.” Conversations like these make Markus worried. Who is A really? What is he truly hiding? Does A know something important he doesn’t? Is A really a government agent? With so many questions it makes him nervous at times to be meeting him in person. His mother sure doesn’t trust the situation. After a long night of conversation with A. Markus turned out the lights and went to sleep. The morning came and Markus was ready in a hurry. He had jumped out of bed, changed into his day clothes, grabbed his suit case and went to the car where he waited. He had his mother drive him to the airport, which took him at least three weeks to convince her to make the drive early morning for him. As his mom was driving to the airport she explained “Earlier today while you were getting ready, I read on the internet they’re recruiting more graduates today for many of the labs. They don’t start working till tomorrow.” Sarcastically his mother continues “You’re not one the graduates by any chance are you?” Amused with this question Markus replies “Yes dear mother, for that is why I hath brought this notepad with me.” The notepad along with his other belongings is for the research they will perform in the city of Clarensford. Like A requested he is ringing all the note taking supplies he could find around the house. Markus and A is serious about their investigation. Upon arrival at the airport Markus hugged his mom good bye and said his finale farewells. Even though he told his mother the trip is only for two weeks there was no return ticket bought. Markus plans on staying in Clarensford until all his questions are answered. As he sat in the terminal waiting for the plane to board he felt anxiety all over. Between seeing A for the first time and starting a major investigation on his own, so many thoughts were coursing through his mind. Before boarding the plane he opened the notebook and wrote down the date, November 4th 2012. Markus awoke; he was lying down and could see the skies. The sky was cloudy, red and the sun was struggling to give her light. He sat upright and surveyed the land around him. “Where am I? I can’t remember a thing. Did I even get on the plane? What is this place?” Looking around in a panic he notices a particular detail that puts into shock. A tree just at arm’s length wasn’t there when he woke up. It was a small tree, like those acorn trees but this tree didn’t have acorns. Its leaves were purple and jagged. Looking down at the tree he notices the roots aren’t dug in the ground. Whispering to himself he utters the words “This tree, did it somehow walk to me. If so, then how could such a thing exist?”

NOT WHAT I MEANT HYDRATH! -whacks- >( I DID re-read your application and corrected some spelling and grammar errors. Your RP sample has also gone missing, due to my own error so... I will accept this, but I expect you to work on detail, just remember, other characters can't see, feel, etc what Markus can't so you have to describe it the best you can.
Approved
