Childish - Maru finds it hard to act his own age. He may be a young adult, but he still has his kid-like qualities.

Shy - Yeah... Not the best person when it comes to meeting new people. It may take a while to get him to open up, unless he finds you interesting and opens up first.

Stubborn - Maru is probably one of the most hard-headed individuals on the planet. But that's debateable. Still, it will take a lot more than unbeatable enemies to get him to back off from a fight.

Optimistic - There's always a bright side to every situation. And Maru will try his best to find it. No matter how grim things may seem.

Intelligent - Well, this can also be debateable. However, Maru is a fast learner, a quick thinker, and a sharp observer. He also thinks ahead during circumstances. Most of the time, anyway.

Determined - This may be due to his stubbornness, but Maru has a tendancy to smile during battle. It excites him and he'll want to see it through to the end.

Keep him away from sweets.

Maru's bow is fairly simple. It's a composite bow, much like the one he used when he was younger. It is mostly white in color, except for the handle, which is red.

Maru's cross is a simple budded cross. It is mostly white in color, not being completely made of jewels, with a red outline around it. in the center of the cross, there is a single ruby in the shape of a sphere.

Maru's sanrei glove matches his bow in color, but has an unusual design. The fingers are red and the palm area is white. From the wrist to the elbow, red and white stripes swirl around it, like a candy cane.

Name: Sperre [Barrier]
Item used: Ginto
Type: Defensive

Name: Platzen [Explode]
Item used: Bow/Ginto
Type: Offensive
Cost: Mid Cost

Item used: Bow/Ginto
Type: Defensive
Cost: Mid Cost
Range: Long
Description: After activating the Ginto, the released energy is sucked in with surrounding Reitsu to form an arrow. However, this particular arrow applies force equal to Maru's Reiryoku. Enemies with a low Hankou will be pushed back instead of damaged, putting a gap between Maru and his target.

Type: Offensive
Cost: Mid Cost
Range: Long
Description: After activating the Ginto, the released energy is sucked in with surrounding Reitsu to form an arrow. However, this particular arrow applies a slight shock to the struck limb. Afterwards, the affected area will begin to numb in a manner similar to paralysis, slowing movement for one post.

Maru's father was a hunter. He loved the thrill of it, especially as a young boy. But as a man, he saw Maru as a great heir to his abilities. When Maru was born, his father was ecstatic to see that a boy came out. His mother was happy as well, but clearly not as much as his father, who jumped around the hospital room that day.

During the first few years of Maru's life, both of his parents raised him carefully. His father even cut down his hunting time, despite that being his primary job. However, his mother seemed to be the one in control, seeing as she would never let Maru and his father be alone. However, once Maru turned five and entered school, that all changed.

His mother handled his studies while his father handled his training. His training consisted of archery in the woods. He would start off easy and attack big targets like deers. Then, as his aim got better, he would go for squirrels. His father knew about his latent power, but wanted to wait until the time was right to reveal it.

Over the years, Maru began to focus more and more on school, ditching his weekly training sessions to hang out with friends. As he was in middle school, at the age of 12, he encountered his first real threat. A hollow. He wasn't quite sure was it was at first, thinking it was just a really oddly-colored bear. However, as it began to maul and devour his friends, who couldn't see it, he knew something was wrong. Maru ran as fast as he could, but the hollow chased closely behind. Maru kept running, despite rapidly running out of breath, until his legs gave out. He fell to the ground and watched as the creature closely stalked him like prey.

He thought he was going to die until he saw an arrow pierce through the beast, eradicating it. Appearing before him was his father. In his hand was a rather large longbow, different from the ones he used to hunt animals. He grabbed Maru and took him to a nearby rooftop, using strange powers of which Maru had never seen. Maru listened as his father explained what happened. He told him of their Quincy heritage and the hollows they hunted. He also told Maru that he would be one as well due to being able to see the hollows. He did admit to it happening earlier than he thought and decided to show Maru the more advanced hunting techniques.

On Maru's 14th birthday, he was given the Quincy cross and was told that his training would only get harder. It first began with forming the bow. Luckily enough, it didn't take long for Maru to accomplish it. Next was using it. Again, it was a fairly simple lesson. Maru guessed it was because of his early training with a bow. His first hollow hunt day came and Maru quickly learned that hollows take their time scanning for targets. He was forced to wait on a roof for 30 hours straight until a hollow finally appeared. Having no food or sleep for that long, he was exhausted and easily lost the battle. His father finished off the hollow for him and scolded him for being weak.

His punishment was to wait. Which he did. His mother snuck him some food now and then, but he had no sleep. He remembered his father telling him, "You can sleep when the town is safe. Kill a hollow to deserve your rest." A hollow was all that stood between him and his bed. He would not let it keep him from what he wanted most. Once a hollow appeared, Maru quickly formed his bow and let out an assault of arrows as quickly as he was able to form them.

A year had passed and Maru spent it training in the woods with a real bow against animals. It was also a way of getting rid of fear and teaching him to stalk his prey. He felt sorry for the ones he had to kill under his father's watch. Even going so far as to say a short prayer before firing his arrow. It became a custom for him as time went on and before he knew it, he was blessing the hollows he was sent to slay.

give us an example of how you usually post. The detail put into this will be one of the deciding factors for which class/level you receive.

If you already have an approved character of a higher rank and are going for a rank below what you already have, you may link to that characters app to reference the RP sample you did for them as opposed to writing out a whole new one.
