DESCRIPTION:
→ I've been told I'm handsome, especially for my age. Of course the scar across my eye can be a little bit of a turnoff, but I get by. Just like my last name, my hair is black, just past my ears right now. I wanna let it grow out a bit though, like my hair long. My eyes are dark blue like midnight. Like that? Yeah a girl told me that once, she was sweet but not my type. I've got normal skin tone I guess you could say. I'm not pastey white, nor am I olive. We'll go with tan, I like that. War has not been kind to me however, and scars are nothing new to me. Arms, legs, chest, back, you name it, there's a scar somewhere. I'm well built, tight muscles but still very strong. Lifetime of training will do that to a man. I enjoy jeans and/or shorts with just a t-shirt when wanting to be casual, my shades are a must. When it comes to action though, I'm all business in my black knights armor. Separated into sections, one for my body, the rest for limbs, and my sick helmet to match. I don't always wear it however, can get a little stuffy you know? Don't mind the transmutation circles tattooed on my palms, they just help me with the trade.

PERSONALITY:
→ I've always had an eye for things that glitter, and some things never change. Though money doesn't always glitter, it still works for me! I was raised to be a knight, a warrior of old trained to protect his home and fight for the Lords who lead them. I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I tried my hardest. Honor, valor, and duty are in my blood, and are all things I hold high. This also means I'm a warrior, born and bred. This mean my lifestyle created some traits I sometimes wish I didn't have. Months of solitude created an independent attitude, which can be great in certain situations. This also means it's hard to trust and rely on others, a lot of the time doing things all alone even if help is needed.

I can be hard headed and stubborn at times, learning things the hard way is one of my more lovable traits. Of course this is very bad when in say, combat. Adjustment, variation, and an open mind are key to a good swordsman, and I can struggle with these things. All the same, I find a way, and my stubborn attitude means I never give up. I always get back on my feet to give it another go, never surrender. Because of this, I'm always up to a good challenge. I've always loved the ladies, I mean come on. What self respecting man doesn't? There's been my share of bed buddies, but it never lasts. No matter how hard I try... I don't know if it's the stubborn attitude, the obsession with shiny objects, my lack of liking authority, but it never works out. I never stop trying though! One day I will meet the woman of my dreams, and one day I will beat that cursed Dietrich into the ground once and for all!!!

LOVE:
→ I like long walks on the beach, rain, wait a minute... Oh sorry, my bad. Jazz, saxophone, war, ladies, romance, food (anything), horses, money.

HATE:
→ Stupid people in general, which fills a very broad category but serves its purpose. Dietrich, Creta, authority, superiority-complexes, and betrayal. Oh, did I mention stupid people? Just had to make sure.

DEEPEST SECRET:
→ Wishes to find the perfect girl, but has a hard time opening up to them

IDOL:
→ Knights of Old

...........................................................................

HISTORY:
→ As I've said, I was born in London, the capital of Creta. The Black family was a prestigious noble family, deeply intertwined with the royal family and enriched with a past full of bravery and courage. The Black's were best known for their long line of honorable knights in service to the throne, warriors of unsurpassed strength and honor. Battle after battle the Black family has fought for King and Country, never giving up no matter the cost. These were some of the things I was raised with, the stories I was told as a child while falling asleep. Stories of brave knights defeating enemies of Creta time and time again, always getting the girl, always showing bravery and valor on and off the battlefield. I was chosen among all the children to be the next Black knight, to bring honor to the family name. I was trained since the age of 5 to be a warrior, a swordsman. I was taught history, literature, arts, music, ethics, war, tactics, etiquette, the things a knight must know to lead the life we were born to lead. First and foremost however I was taught alchemy, and in particular the alchemy of the Black family, control of weather, wind, and moisture.

I loved the old stories. Valor and fighting and love, the whole shebang. What I didn't like however was for me and me alone. I did not get to choose this lifestyle. There was no day I awoke and said "I shall be the next knight of the Black family!" They chose me. They looked at all the sons of the generation and picked me above all else. I was then forced, against my will mind you, to become a knight. I didn't enjoy it at first, indeed I hated it! I grew to deal with it however, learned tolerance and chose to accept the life that had been "given" to me by my forefathers. For decades, tensions had been building in Creta between the throne and the Parliament. The Black family was thrown right in the middle of it about 10 years before I was born, taking the side of the King during policy change. Ever since, my family has been looked down upon by much of the other nobility, but never the royalty. This took a turn for the worse however the night of my 14th birthday. We were attacked by a group of angry civilians in the middle of the night. Me being the only one in the house trained to fight, the rest of my was killed. Though my sister was able to escape, no one ever heard a word from her again, at least that I know of.

I couldn't take it anymore. It wasn't because I was spoiled and wanted my past life back, but I couldn't take living like this anymore. I would bring honor back to my family, no matter the cost. Soon after I swore vengeance on those that ruined my family and that we would be returned to our former glory. I then left to continue my training by a knight living in North City in Amestris, my Uncle and the last knight of the Black family. I went through many tough trials over those years, but I came out the man I am today, a man worthy of the Black name once again. I was about 18 when my master passed me and I finished my knight training. I became a knight for hire, working with the military to fight their enemies, for a price of course. There I met a man who I now call my brother, he goes by the name of Cironis Skycaller. We worked together as partners for about two years. It was then I learned that this was the wrong course of action and was only bringing shame to the Black family name, so I stopped being a mercenary and joined the Amestrian military full time along side Cironis. Because of my battle experience, good leadership skills and past with the leader of Western HQ, I was put second-in-command, my brother working along-side me. This angered one young man, a fellow knight by the name of Vincent Alexander. We fought for nearly and hour before Sofia stepped in. Since I was only defending myself, he was punished and transfered to Central. Now that she has retired however, I am currently the head of Western Command, Brigadier General and everything. Cironis is my second-in-command now. I can only hope that this will help my family regain its former glory...

Well a lot has happened since I got my position as Brigadier General of Western Command and given the name of the Black Templar. With West City mostly repaired from what was known as the "Spade Fire," it seemed that all was good in the world. Especially for yours truly. During a casual stroll through Central the night before my first leader meeting, I noticed there was a tornado tearing through the city's big festival. Suddenly, a stunning woman seemed to fall from the sky, obviously tossed by the swirling vortex of doom nearby. Using my alchemy, I saved her and took her to the nearest hospital, several severe wounds all across her body were bleeding profusely. She was out for days, but I couldn't stop thinking about her, she was constantly on my mind. I visited her every day until she awoke one beautiful morning, and boy was I in for a surprise. I guess I read to many romance novels, for I saw her as a princess I suppose. She was as far from it as possibly imaginable, yet I still fell head over heels for her. She was pretty, smart, cocky, a little bitchy, and very independent, a strong willed woman. Her name was Saga, and I fell in love with her that day. Though our first meeting ended a little oddly, it was a great day!

Of course the darkness of this world caught up to me quickly. During the leader meeting, there was talk of preemptive strike against our enemies, things that would start a world war! I couldn't believe our leaders would even consider the possibility of taking part in something like that, let alone starting it! I found my side in Reila and Tataki however, and together we will stand against this tyranny! Almost as if on cue, soon after my return to West City and my army, intel confirmed the gathering of Cretan troops near the border, they were preparing for an assault on Amestris. We rallied the troops and prepared for a battle for the ages, and that it was! There was much loss, but victory in it's own unique form gave way in the end. We were able to hold the lines and push the Cretans to the border, creating a stalemate, of which both sides agreed to a ceasefire. I almost defeated Dietrich, I was this close! I will have my chance one day, vengeance will be mine! During our conflict with Creta, our former Fuhrers blew explosives all across Amestris, the only two major cities remaining were North and West. I'm currently leading the country alongside Reila and Tataki, begin restoration of our once great nation, and searching desperately for Saga...

ALCHEMIC ABILITY:
→ Air manipulation: This allows him to control air and pressure to create wind currents around himself. The wind can be generated by anything, from the swing of his blade to the wave of his hand. The ability in particular he uses allows him to control the aerodynamic flow of the air around him, causing less friction. This lets him move more quickly because there is less resistance, as well as use this on nearby objects, things, and people, increasing or decreasing it's resistance.

→ Wind Control: Through further research, and a little help from Reila, Jet has discovered how to control the wind. Now this is nowhere near the level of "The Ice Queen," but he still has good ability. He can now control the wind in basic terms, such as using it to knock his enemies down or simply increase the wind in an area to make conditions more hazardous.

→ Air Blast: This ability is simple. Combining his wind control and manipulation, he makes the air around him suddenly fly out, allowing him to make a "blast" of air. This can also be done if he hits something, whether it's with his body or an object like his sword.

(I moved it over already because I needed the link for your rank. You should still be able to edit your app. If you can't let me know and I'll move it back.)

1. Personality: You're a mod now so I'm not being lax anymore. It's not 300 words~
2. Alchemic Ability: You have like four abilities here. You need to just pick one of them. ^^

Also don't forget to post in classifieds to get your position. Maybe you should be the Head of West HQ or something?? That would rock. And then you could have to decide who to ally with (Hild or Reila). =3

[Guest]

There we go, hope that will work!

REVISE

Alchemic Ability: Far too similar to one of our other Alchemists, Reila Tsukino.

By picturing her tachi in her mind, she is able to shape the wind into a mental sword, whipping the air molecules in just the right way with just the right amount of speed to make a cut through solid objects as tough as trees.

I can see a few differences, but it is really too similar to be approvable. Sorry. =/

Perfect. Barely needed to read it.

There should be good

Perfect! <3

You can go up in rank if you reply to this with 150 words as to why you should rank up.

I love playing Jet, he is by far my favorite. Though I like Vincent and Gabby, Jet is the closest to the real me out of them all. Thus far he's lead his city and his army well, they seem to like him well enough. Of course he's still very new to being a general and has very much to learn, but I feel he's proven himself against Creta. He, alongside the army he'd grown to call his brothers and sisters, stood alone against the first brutal waves of the attack. If not for their steel-like resolve, his charismatic leadership, and the rock-hard training regime Jet had recently started with the troops, they very well could have fallen against the highly trained and well equipped Royal Task Force. I don't want to make it seem like without Jet they wouldn't have stood a chance, but with him they were stronger and better. He's a good man, a strong leader, and a wonderful friend. He may be a little corny for standing by the virtues of honor, valor, bravery, courage, etc., but it's made him who he is today, leader of Western Command and proud warrior of the Amestrian Military.
