Name: Ryuki Weston Aka. Sharp Shoot Weston

Species: Reploid

Affiliation or Occupation: Maverick, or so his label is.

Physical Description: With wavy red hair draping around his head, and fierce, piercing, yet determined eyes to match, he is a well built young man of seventeen. He isn't muscular, but he has enough strength to get the job done. Ryuki wears just about whatever suits him at the time, but he never leaves without his special glasses. He wears around his neck and his wrist a necklace and bracelet that hold certain special meaning to him. With nothing but a gun holster strapped to the back of his belt, he's ready for about anything!

Equipment: A single buster gun is used for weaponry. It can charge to a mid-level shot, but no higher.* His glasses are special because they act as a targeting system that is synced with his inner systems. They are wirelessly connected via a secure link to his systems and can assist in aiming precisely with little but a 15% possible error. The downside is that they slow his reaction time drastically, leaving him at about 30% normal reflexive levels. He can, of course, shoot without them, with normal reaction levels, but he can't aim as precisely.

Skills or Techniques: His main combat style is ranged and sniper. He holds a distance and fires away at his foe while in battle. His gun is made of pure refined Ceratanium, able to hold back a saber slash without being sliced through, making for a powerful yet small shield in case an enemy should get too close. As for melee combat, he is about a rookie level, having mastered basic attacks, but cannot execute nothing more advanced.**

Background: Ryuki was born a street rat, to say the least. His mother and father abandoned him in an alley, with nothing but a note with his last name on it, where he was soon after discovered by a young man, who took him to a large warehouse. There was based the Maverick Rebellion, a group of vigilantes who fought Mavericks illegally. Though they are considered Mavericks themselves, they still fight for good and what's right. He was raised as another one of the family. There he learned just what he was good for. Shooting.

It was just another night, and just another Maverick raid on the city. While the security was taking it's time getting there, the Rebellion was out risking their life to get the people away safely and fend off the Mavericks.*** They succeeded long before the security force arrived. Their other adventures are but a few other stories.

The rest, can be summed up quite easily. He left his home, with a gift from his friend Mai. A necklace, and a pair of glasses. He has never let go of them, and likely never will. With nothing but a bracelet containing a crumpled up photo of the group, the gun holstered to his belt, the necklace around his throat, and the shirt on his back. He has been just another Maverick in the eyes of the people, with his wanted poster all over the walls of Innerpeace. However, to him, those wanted posters are a symbol of who he really is. He is a member of the Maverick Rebellion, now and forever, and he won't stop fighting. Rock on!

Personality: Rather analytical and strategic. He's a planner, and he only rushes into a situation if the need arises. He is generally cheerful, yet will not tolerate fighting among his teammates. He will take betrayal with a vengeance, and while friendly to his allies, he is merciless towards his enemies. An enemy will be at his mercy, begging for forgiveness, but he'll just pull the trigger. That is, unless it's not worth it.

Dreams: To find out who his real parents are, and to take down any Maverick he meets along the way. It is his life's mission to track down his real family, be it to finally be accepted by a biological family, or to simply give them a piece of his mind for dumping him in an alley.

Reasons for Dreams: Ever since his surrogate family told him that he was abandoned, he's been curious to find out who he came from. He simply just wants to know who. As for exterminating Mavericks, it's just in his blood.

Miscellaneous Information: The necklace actually contains a picture of Mai, whom he has a bit of a crush on, but he won't tell anyone.
* Basically, if you think in the video games, when you charge your buster halfway instead of all the way.
** Think Zero's basic Triple Slash combo, that's about all he's got.
*** This was around the time Vent and Aile's parents were killed.

Nitpicky:

• The Miss-rate of this guys ability is far too low. Picking off characters, NPC, OC, or even Official Characters is far too easy. The cons to this is okay, but... Lower the accuracy.
• More of a question... Is said Illegal Maverick Hunters going to make an appearence?

Fix that, and it's okay.

Alright. I'll lower the accuracy.

They may at some point. I don't have any events or such planned. Let me get to work.

Accuracy lowered, approved.

*Waits for Oakie*

Why can't people limit their background information to one or two paragraphs, I'll never know.

You really don't need to go into so much detail. It doesn't matter if your character was sitting on a rooftop, or if he took a deep breath before pulling the trigger. This style of writing is best suited for the actual role playing, not for a character profile. The information in a profile needs to be succinct; in other words, keep it short and to the point. You wrote three paragraphs to basically say that your character "fought on a Maverick raid and now lives as a vigilante".

Also, copyrighted artwork is not allowed. If you want to include a picture, you must draw it yourself or someone else must do it for you. If neither is an option, please limit yourself to a written description.

That said, I'm not seeing real problems with the general concept (though the "Maverick" label might become a point of discussion later), so just address the points above and you'll probably have my approval.

Alright. I got it. I'm used to writing long backstories, that's why. It's pretty much instinct for me, so you're not getting around that.

Alright. I have the description anyways. I'll just take down the picture or whatever.

As for the backstory, I'll edit. We good?

Edit: Three paragraphs. Problem solved.

I apologize for the late reply. The profile is good enough, although I still wonder about the usage of the term "Maverick" here. As far as I can tell, this group isn't much different from the Guardians, and while the government regards the Guardians murkily, they don't necessarily consider them "Mavericks". Unless they do something the Guardians don't, the "Maverick" label might be too harsh here.

Perhaps a bit more elaboration is in order.

Okay, so while an organization similar to the guardians, it isn't as "official", persay. They were never exactly on good terms with the government, or for that matter, the guardians themselves. They're more of a major annoyance, as though they hunt mavericks, they're troublemakers to some extent. Let me put this simply, I needed a backstory for my character, and I thought of one. They might NEVER make an appearance unless I think of some odd reason for them to do so. I'll figure this as I go along, that's my style. It'll come further into light as time passes, don't worry.

On a side note, I've prepared a biometal profile that has yet to be checked on, so yeah.

In other words, you are telling me to let it slide because you haven't thought this thoroughly? Is that supposed to be a serious argument?

The definition of "Maverick" is something that goes far beyond your character and this group of yours, so it should be handled with more care. In ZX, the term is most often applied to the out of control machines which threaten the people, so whether the government (Legion) would apply it to individuals is debatable.

So, this is how it will work. Your group (and by extension, your character) will be viewed in the same light as the Raiders. Still treated as outlaws, just without an official "Maverick" label. The profile is approved if you abide to these terms.

The Biometal profile will be reviewed soon.

Any terms set by the GM, I naturally abide to. So I assume a final profile edit is in order then?

Very well.
