Same here.

[NeoFox]

Okay I need to make this app.

Name: NeoFox

Timezone: EST

NPC Character of Choice: William Birkin

Game of Origin: Resident Evil

Power: He is a normal human, and as such he has no supernatural powers. However he is a genious when it comes to Bio-Engineering. Whether it be genetic modification, or creating things such as viruses and vaccines. Most importantly he knows the ins and outs of viruses, and vaccines which is shown with his involvement of the Tyrant Virus or in short the "T-Virus", and the creation of the more dangerous "G-Virus." He also knows how to develop vaccines for such diseases.

Weapons: None, except his intelligence as with it he can create nearly any Bio-Weapon given the supplies, and time.

Weaknesses: Much like any other human Birkin is susceptible to everything a human is, no matter what the case is he is still human.

Appearance: He is about 39 years old in the RP, and stands at a short 5ft 10-11.

Personality: Birkin is smart, intelligent, and can be a bit arrogant. As shown when he made the G-Virus. He was so obsessed with the G-Virus claiming it to be the "perfect virus" that he wanted to keep it to himself, but mostly Umbrella Corp. He loves his research, and loves doing research on genetics, viruses, and vaccines. He may have been a bit antagonistic in the games, but in the real world he had a chance to escape Umbrella. He was able to start anew. Currently he is not as selfish, or antagonistic. As he is actually willing to help others.

Morality: Neutral, mostly good. He just wants to live a mostly normal life now... Except for the fact he is still in a coma in the Prometheus Labs Infirmary.

Biography: Birkin joined the Umbrella Corporation in 1977 at the young age of fifteen. He was placed at the Research Center under First General Manager Dr. James Marcus. There, he became rival of fellow researcher Albert Wesker, as they were both considered to be Marcus' top apprentices. Over time Wesker and Birkin became partners and developed a close and sincere friendship. They were involved in the development of the experimental Tyrant virus, until the facility was closed down on July 29, 1978.

Two days later, he and Albert were transferred to the Arklay Laboratory; where they continued their t-Virus research and were assigned the roles of chief researchers of the facility by the facility's president. It was around this time that Birkin began to obsess over the Ebola virus, which had recently been discovered in Africa; Umbrella was, officially, researching a cure for the Ebola virus in the facility. During their research into the Ebola virus, Birkin and Wesker were introduced to Lisa Trevor, who had been experimented on by Umbrella since 1967.It was at this point that he and Wesker began to ponder on what Spencer's plans with the company really were.

On July 27, 1981, Umbrella employed a ten-year old girl as a chief researcher. Alexia Ashford, who was a granddaughter of Umbrella co-founder Edward Ashford, was of an unnaturally-high intellect thanks to the achievements of her father, Alexander. News of her employment by Umbrella reached the Arklay laboratory that very day, having a heavy impact on the still-young William, who took to his own employment at the age of sixteen highly. His frustration was worsened by discussions between older researchers, who held a high opinion for the Ashford family, even discussing over the potential of the young girl working at the facility.

Despite his competitive rivalry with Alexia, his research yielded no results until he created the Hunter Bio Organic Weapon (B.O.W.) in 1981. He became completely focused on his work and research and continued uninterrupted even after the announcement of Alexia's apparent death in 1983.

He was "promoted" in 1988 to lead the "t" project (and completed the development of the Tyrant-class B.O.W.) after he and Wesker helped to assassinate their former mentor, Marcus. Following this, credit for the virus' creation was given to Birkin. By this time, Birkin was already married to fellow researcher, Annette and the marriage had already produced a daughter named Sherry.

When he and Wesker were conducting an experiment with an NE-α Type, they used a female specimen (Lisa Trevor) as a guinea pig. Lisa was the only human test subject to fully accept the parasite - other hosts were killed shortly after implantation. Noticing her strange survival rate, Birkin examined her body structure and discovered that the variation of the Progenitor virus that was injected into her in 1967 had absorbed all the mutagenic organisms that she had been implanted with since then and mutated into a new virus, which Birkin named the G-virus.

He received approval from Umbrella's president, Oswell E. Spencer, to initiate the G-virus Project; Wesker, however, knew he had limitations as a researcher and left the project in the hands of William and Annette, both more competent than him. In 1991, Birkin and his wife were transferred to an underground facility established specifically for the project. Birkin also bribed the chief of the Raccoon City Police Department, Brian Irons, to cover up the project, using his wife as the "middle man".

After his uptaking of "G", he passed the t-Virus research down to one of his subordinates, Dr. Greg Mueller.

During the events surrounding the Mansion Incident, the Research Center infestation, and the Ecliptic Express Incident, Birkin and Wesker were shocked to learn that Dr. Marcus was somehow alive and responsible for leaking the virus. Knowing that his career would be over if the truth behind the old conspiracy ever came out, Birkin found and activated the Training Facility's self-destruct system destroying all evidence of his involvement in the decade-old "conspiracy", as said by Wesker.

He completed his development of the G-virus in September of 1998 and planned on using his final research in order to be promoted into Umbrella's executive board. However, he began to disagree with his superiors and planned on keeping his research to himself and sell it to the U.S. Government. He requested to have the U.S. military intervene and retrieve him. However, the team never arrived and the Umbrella Security Service unit "Alpha team" (led by HUNK, under orders from Spencer himself) reached the lab before them to retrieve his work. After a tense standoff, Birkin was cut down with automatic fire. His virus research was taken and he was left to die of gunshot wounds. With his last dying breaths, he injected himself with a sample of the G-virus and survived, albeit rapidly mutating into the horrendous monster only known as "G".

After his mutation into G, Birkin went after the U.S.S. team that stole his samples and chased them into the sewers. The team was taken completely by surprise at the sight of the now reborn Birkin and all of them, excluding HUNK were slaughtered, their weapons having no effect on the abomination before them. During the ensuing carnage, several vials containing the t-Virus were smashed by Birkin and the virus was ingested by rats, serving as the main cause of the viral outbreak in the days of the Raccoon City Destruction Incident.

Several days later, on September 29th, Birkin wandered around the R.P.D. and encountered some of the surviving citizens, his daughter among them. Looking for a host to propagate his species, he implanted his embryos into a victim (Brian Irons). However, Irons was not a match and thus was killed. He was, however successful in implanting an embryo into Sherry. He also managed several times to call out "Sherry", which she mistook as her father being attacked by "the monster" (actually himself) which had been following her.

During all of his mutations, caused by the uncontrollable effects of the G-virus, he chased after Leon, Claire, Sherry and Ada from the sewers to the underground laboratory. However, he was defeated by Leon and Claire while struggling to revive himself. Shortly thereafter, the train was destroyed, killing Birkin for good.

After the incident that brought characters into the real world, a normal human Birkin before his Mutation was brought into the real world. When he learned of this he was surprisingly relieved since he did not have to work for Umbrella no longer. As such he decided to live a normal life. Unfortunately though Wesker who was with the Neo Yakuza learned of this, and sought out Birkin. When he finally found Birkin Wesker forced the scientist to work for the Neo Yakuza, developing viruses and genetically altering some soldiers of the Neo Yakuza base of London. He had made many B.O.W's against his will, and even altered some soldiers slightly with a genetic experimental virus that was used to enhance a human's normal abilities in an attempt to copy the Spartan Project.

Unfortunately it was not good enough for Wesker, as such Wesker and an army of men, and B.O.W's had attacked Prometheus Labs. During which B.O.W's broke loose and wreaked havoc on the Neo-Yakuza base. Birkin had filled a briefcase with files, and a few samples of the T-Virus, G-Virus, and the so called "Spartan Serum" as well as a few vaccines. Unfortunately he was attacked by a Licker, but he suffered no serious wounds. He was rendered into a coma though due to a serious head injury when he fought off a lone Licker.

Chris Redfield, and a group of Spartan's who went to the Neo-Yakuza base of London to recover any info, and destroy the base completely had found the comatose Birkin and had taken him back to the Infirmary of Prometheus Labs. Birkin will soon wake up, dazed and confused.

Traumas: Possibly when he was attacked by Umbrella when they were after the G-Virus he had made. This made him hate Umbrella Corp, anyone similar to Umbrella Corp, and anyone affiliated with it. It also made it hard for him to trust any organization he works for. Though begrudgingly he will work for someone if he sees he has to (like helping the Prometheus Labs with making possible vaccines, or if he is forced to work for someone.)

[SUSTIC]

I think your app is perfectly fine Neo. Two more people are needed to accept you.

[S121]

I think it's all good.

[NeoFox]

Thanks you two. Okay I now need one more...

Also I see you need one more as well for Elesis. So accepted for Elesis from me. That's three I guess.

[WriggleRid3r]

William Birkin... What are you planning Neo, bringing in a Resident Evil character like him when I have Sheva -w-

Accepterino'd.

[SUSTIC]

Doesn't Neo already have Chris, and Claire in the RP? Oh well. Working on a post for Atwag.

[WriggleRid3r]

Oh merp.

Name: SUSTIC

Timezone: EST

NPC Character of Choice: Kirby

Game of Origin: The Kirby games, though to be specific he Debuted in Kirby's Dream Land for the Game Boy.

Power: Kirby's signature technique is his inhale, and has been performing it since Kirby's Dream Land. It is available in almost every standard Kirby platformer with the exception of Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby Mass Attack. Kirby: Squeak Squad's manual attributes this ability to his "powerful lungs", although all Kirby is ever seen doing is opening his mouth really wide and sucking up lots of air in the manner resembling a vacuum cleaner more than breathing. Traditionally, Kirby's inhale is unlimited in duration, but in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, he tires after inhaling for several seconds, and has to take a short break. Kirby's Super Inhale is also introduced in the game, where, after inhaling for about a second, it becomes more powerful and can suck up larger objects. The Super Inhale returns in Kirby: Squeak Squad, and becomes even more powerful in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, where he can suck up stone blocks many enemies at once.

After inhaling anything, Kirby has the option to either swallow it or spit it back out as a Star Spit attack. Starting from Kirby's Adventure onwards, Kirby gets a Copy Ability should he choose to swallow an enemy with a special power. In Kirby's Adventure, Copy Abilities essentially let Kirby mimic whatever the enemy he had just swallowed, but in later titles like Kirby Super Star, each Copy Ability has multiple moves which Kirby can perform instead of just one or two. In Kirby 64, Kirby can combine Copy Abilities by inhaling two enemies at once, or throwing Ability Stars at enemies.

In early games, having a Copy Ability does not change Kirby's appearance drastically, aside from his color changing to orange or cyan in Kirby's Adventure, or wielding a weapon for abilities like Sword or Hammer. Kirby Supr Star introduced a continuous Vitality system instead of the traditional six bars of life, and is best known for introducing copy ability hats for Kirby, where most Copy Abilities give a different hat and makes Kirby look different, such as a burning headdress for Fire, a frozen crown for Ice, or a backwards baseball cap for Yo-Yo and Wheel.

Kirby has a soft, flexible body. This allows him to be flattened or stretched, always returning to his original shape. He can inflate himself, making himself more buoyant, and he can flap his arms to fly. In most games, he can do this for approximately 2 minutes before he needs to exhale. He can exhale to deflate himself and use the exhaled air as an attack. This technique is known as the air gun/air bullet. In certain games -- Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.

Weapons: This depends on what Copy Ability he gets from someone. This means he can be quite versatile given the right situation as he also seems to gain knowledge on how to use the powers he copies.

Weaknesses: Kirby is a versatile character at times, but he is childish, small, lightweight, and not too strong physically. This means that Kirby is quite vulnerable to damage. Strong enough attacks can easily send him flying backwards, and can pack a severe punch to him as well as knock any Copy Ability he has out of him. Though he is pretty tough, as he can survive some pretty painful stuff such as touching fire, being stabbed by spikes, as well as electrocuted. This does not mean he gets harmed. As he does get harmed by these things.

Also when underwater, most of Kirby's Copy Abilities do not work, and he is largely limited to using the water gun attack, where he shoots a bubble of water from his mouth, unless he happens to have Sword, Hammer, Parasol, or a few other abilities which can be used underwater.

Appearance: He is quite small. About 2-3 ft tall, and is as round as a rubber ball.

Personality: Kirby is largely innocent and child-like, and has a cheerful demeanor and a positive attitude. He likes to help other people so much, sometimes he goes out of his way to do it; in the Dyna Blade sub-game of Kirby Super Star Ultra, he feeds Dyna Blade's chicks on his own (though expresses annoyance at Dyna Blade's chicks' constant noise-making before dragging them off to Whispy Woods to be fed by the constant dropped apples from the tree's branches) and teaches them how to fly. Throughout the many dangers he is put through, he is notably brave, maintaining a neutral expression almost constantly in most situations.

Appetite: Kirby never hesitates to help whenever Dream Land is in trouble, but when he doesn't have his work cut out for him doing that, he loves nothing more than eating and sleeping, especially during the day. Kirby's favorite food is tomatoes, Maxim Tomatoes in particular, and these fully restore him to full health when he consumes them. Kirby's appetite for food is immense (but he does have his limits); he can eat whole tables' worth of food and still go on, and partially eat a cake as large as a mountain, as shown from a cut scene in Kirby's Epic Yarn, where he and Prince Fluff had an eating contest. Kirby is literally described to be like a vacuum, or black hole.

While it is undeniable that Kirby adores eating, it is not certain whether he enjoys the act of eating or the taste of food. Kirby has preference over certain foods but he eats just about everything, including those most would deem unpalatable e.g. a rotten pumpkin. Eating rotten or spoiled things do not seem to do any harm to him surprisingly.

Kirby is a character of few words and rarely speaks in-game. Much of his speech is indirect, in the form of speech bubbles or monologues in games' instruction manuals, and brief greetings such as "Hi" or saying "Poyo." This is most likely a sign that he is quite young, being really child-like in nature at times.

Morality: Heroic Good. He will do anything to help anyone in need, literally going out of his way at times

Biography: ((Uh this will be hard as I can't find any solid piece of background or history for Kirby... Even on the wiki. If I were to do this I would have to find the story of each and every game, and list it all. I would also need to find when all the games take place. So I will give you this information to compensate for it.))
Kirby's species has been a common topic of debate in his fandom. Unlike many other video game mascots, such as Link being Hylian or Pikachu being a Pokémon, Kirby's kind has never been given an official name, but fans commonly refer to his species as "puffs," such as puffballs or cream puffs, or simply as "a Kirby." While Kirby is the one given the most emphasis, he is not the only member of his kind. There is evidence of the existence of other members of his species from the similar-looking characters seen in the ending of Kirby's Dream Land and the remake Spring Breeze in Kirby Super Star. While not officially confirmed, Meta Knight is a likely member due to almost identical facial features to Kirby aside from color and minor differences. In Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, players play different colored Kirbies in multi-player games. In the case of the latter, they are the result of Kirby being divided into four by Dark Meta Knight. In general, members of the species all look similar, but sometimes have different colored skin, eyes, and feet.

When not referring to Kirby's species in the generic sense, the term "Kirbys" (occasionally "Kirbies") usually refers to only one character, who is none other than Kirby himself. Although he may be split into multiple separate entities, they are all part of him. In the English manual of Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, the term "Kirbys" is used at certain points to illustrate the feature of having four differently colored versions of Kirby active in the game simultaneously. In Kirby Air Ride, since the other colors of Kirby are separate individuals, and the term refers to all of them.
The term "Dream Lander" refers to any inhabitant of Dream Land. Kirby is a Dream Lander, but so is King Dedede, most Waddle Dees, and everybody else

In Kirby's Dream Land 3, mysterious characters called Batamon appear. They resemble Kirby aside from a more flattened shape and different face, and are unique in that the player can almost never directly come in contact with them. They are always seen walking past walls or ceilings beyond Kirby's reach, with the exception of a single stage in Cloudy Park, where Kirby can continue past the exit and come into contact with one.


Well currently in the real world Kirby is riding the Warp Star (a Star Shaped item he uses as transport when traveling from one place to another. It's speed is incredibly high, but it's hard to steer.) He is currently on a crash course with Gensokyo, almost about to crash near a tree outside the SDM.

Traumas: No traumas are really known... as Kirby is a rather carefree guy... so I do not know what to list here... nor do I know what he fears really, even when I look on the wiki. All I can really say is that he does not tolerate those who wish to do harm unto others, people who steal from others, as well as people who are downright evil. As he will always jump in to try and stop those kind of people from doing what they do best... being bad...

Notes: Okay here is my app for Kirby. I just had to... I really had to... I did have trouble with a bio, and I didn't want to list the plot for EVERY game of the series as that would have just been too damn long. I also had a hard time with the Traumas as well... it's actually something that is not really listed for Kirby... So... yeah...

[NeoFox]

Kirby! I love Kirby! That cute adorable pink puffball!

Accepted as I read over the app, and I see nothing wrong with it.

Now him at the SDM... I imagine him to get into some wacky hijinks there.

[WriggleRid3r]

Accepted from me as well.

[S121]

@SUSTIC

Looks good to me.

NPC Character of Choice: Meta Knight

Game of Origin: Kirby’s Adventure

Power: Meta knight is a very capable fighter, and also possesses several abilities which make him far more powerful, though it’s mostly tied to his equipment. On his own, he’s shown to possess incredible speed with swinging a sword, and is capable of landing many hits in a single second.

Weapons: He has his magical sword, which can shoot out beams of energy, allow Meta to turn into a whirling blade tornado, or just act like a very sharp, nigh unbreakable sword.

He also has his dimensional cape, which allows him to manipulate space, usually through teleporting when defeated, though, it has been shown that he can ebb out of reality for a short time or petrify enemies. Lastly, his cape can transform into a pair of bat-like wings.

Weaknesses: Meta Knight doesn’t have too many weaknesses that have appeared, though he has a code of honor, where he gives any worthy opponent a sword, which can be used against him. Knocking off his mask will make him flee, usually.

Appearance:

Personality: Meta Knight has a mostly cool headed, reserved personality, preferring to keep to himself, especially after the Incident which brought him to this world.

Morality: Orderly Neutral

Biography: Meta Knight is the head of the Meta Knights, who were his crew and allies aboard Meta Knight’s ship, the Halberd. They went on many journeys, and even assaulted Dream Land once, though those times have passed. The Horizon incident separated the knights and their ship, and they promptly disbanded due to it. Meta Knight himself went into solitude, and when he heard of the lands of Gensokyo due to the supposed “Devourer Incident”, he thought it a perfect place to settle down and not be bothered with anything. Though that may soon change...

Traumas: None that I know of.

Notes: Well, since me and Sustic were talking about Kirby, he was thinking of introducing the puffball, I was thinking of introducing Meta Knight, here we are.

[Katrix]

@Mima

Looks good.
