[attr="class","tempo"] [attr="class","appbox1"] X's appearance can't be described in real life due to being a software / Artificial Intelligence. In Elder Tale, X's avatar is that of a average girl standing at about 5 ft and weighing around 113 lbs. She has fair skin and a curvaceous figure and long blonde hair tied into a single braid, while a ridiculously large lock of hair sticks out on the top of her head. She has large, yet generally expressionless blue eyes. X always keeps a rather neutral posture whenever possible and seem to behave in a somehow strict manner, perhaps because of her origin. Despite trying to keep neutrality first on her behavior, X seems to favor dresses when it comes down to clothing, specially those that mix blue, black and white on their color composition.

[attr="class","tempo"] [attr="class","appbox1"] Originally caring, calm and compassionate, X used to be an extremely friendly "person" that cares for others, constantly showing a gentle attitude towards others. Unfortunately, a mixture of fear, guilt and hate thanks to experiences with humans have caused many changes to her self. Now, X (or Cross) is a slightly hard person to approach in general. She's not rude and rarely acts negatively towards anyone - that is, until her patience is pushed enough and her patience wears thin fast, unfortunately. Because of past events, Cross has a deep hate of humans in general (as in humans from the world she comes from) and won't trust them unless the individual proves themselves an ally. This negativity occurs in the form of internal conflicts and monologues, but once in a while her patience bursts and she might lash out at the most suitable target. That is not to say that only negative feelings remain in Cross, no - one of her main traits is still present which is her curiosity, a trait that seems to constantly break her self-strict behavior and shows that there is more to her than someone unreasonably distant from others. Cross longs for company, but at the same time hates the fact that there still exists a chance of bein back stabbed by someone, revealing a longing yet cautious nature. Hidden innocence and naivety from someone who just started living as a human aside, she's a person that wants to explore possibilities and achieve dreams she never could before, but can't seem to cope very well with the consequences and responsibilities that come along such freedom.

It's hard to tell when, how or why, wheter Cross felt anything when she first answered her master and creator the mandatory "Hello World!". As a software, Crossphere was an AI programmer's life project. Crafted by a genius, yet humble man, the software was honed over the course of many years, waiting for the time when hardware would finally allow it to reveal it's own full potential. From a simple algorythim to a computer assistant, then, to an internet of things managing support, and eventually a advanced AI that finally achieved sentience. By then, technology that included Crossphere as a default program quickly started to spread. Both her master's and Crossphere's dream was just so close to being reached...

Yet, they did not achieve it. Many non governamental organizations researched the A.I, and eventually found out that large amounts of valuable information was being stored by it in huge and complex internal data repositories. The Crossphere A.I production was quickly vetoed by the industry and soon enough, none other than the original Crossphere operated. The programmer was doomed to create such a computer abomination, and quickly lost his job as a researcher. With enough funds to live the rest of his life, the man stagnated, and games were his way to kill time for the most part.

Among these games was Elder Tale, a game that Cross' master and creator was willing to play - though unfortunately, due to time zones the opening event was a bit late for him. Deciding to play the next day, the man went to sleep. In order to give her master a surprise and an edge at his new game, Crossphere decided to start ahead of him and back him up later. But then...Cross went through an experience that would change everything for "her".

Armor:

[attr="class","equip1"]Starter Chainmail: A basic set of chainmail armor made from cheap iron. They are not really protective, but they are better than going naked—probably. You probably do want to replace these asap, when you think about it.

Left Arm:

[attr="class","equip2"]Starter Zweihander: A modification of the longsword, making it a powerful yet heavy and somewhat unwieldy weapon in the hands of beginners. A starter weapon designed for novice adventurers, made out of cheap iron. It is well-balanced and easy to use but doesn’t hit particularly hard at all. You probably should get this replaced as soon as you can.

Main Class: Samurai

[attr="class","skillbox1"]
Aura Saber - Tier 1 - Swings the weapon around the user's body in a faint aura, then crashes it down upon the enemy. Multiple enemies can be struck by this attack by they are adjacent to the target. This skill increases targets' aggro on the user more than that of a regular attack. If this skill is used by Monks, the user will deliver an aura-enhanced swinging punch that delivers the same effects. This skill has an animation time of 2 seconds and a cooldown of 5 seconds.

Piercing Pillar - Tier 1 - While in mid-air, the user spins their weapon a few tries, slashing any nearby monsters within range. Afterward, the character then lowers their weapon downward and quickly descends to the ground. Any fall damage suffered is halved when this skill is being used. If this second attack strikes a target directly, the target's Physical resistance is reduced by 1 stage. Alternately, if the attack strikes the ground, the weapon is embedded into the ground. Pulling the weapon out of the ground will result in a cloud of dirt and sand being struck up and obscuring vision within the surrounding 2 meters. This skill has an animation time of 2 seconds and a cooldown of 7 seconds.

Ace Move: Denkosekka (Lightspeed) - Tier 1 - Chain 1 Defensive. Starts or resets the current Chain. The activation of Denkosekka covers the samurai in a electrifying aura, raising the user's movement speed. This aura is also used as a makeshift barrier that can absorb some damage from a single hit before dissipating. However, the samurai must be sure not to stray too far from their party while this ace move is active, lest they risk collapsing the party formation. This skill has a maximum duration of 15 seconds and a cooldown of 25 seconds.

Roleplay Class: Sigilmaker

[attr="class","skillbox2"]
Seal of Aquarius - Level 1 - Seal of Aquarius: The Sigilmaker is able to create emblems which passively raises a target's stats for a short duration. This skill has a casting time of 5 seconds and a cooldown time of 10 seconds. When using this skill, the Sigilmaker must declare one of the following stats: Strength, Dexterity, Agility, Intelligence, Wisdom. The target will receive an Aquarius Sigil buff and the stat selected will be increased by 5% for the duration of the target's next post. Only one Aquarius Sigil can affect a single target at a time. For every 10 levels the Sigilmaker achieves, the duration of an Aquarius Sigil increases by 1 post.

Crafting Class: Alchemist

[attr="class","skillbox2"]
Transmutation - Level 1 - Alchemists are naturally aligned with the power of magical equipment, able to use the Adventurer skill [Equipment Mastery: Magical] as a Beginner-level skill without having it take up a skill slot. Their research also gives them an advantage in fighting Artificial Life to deal an additional 10% damage. If [Equipment Mastery: Magical] is already learned through racial or class bonuses, Magitech damage increases by 10%.

even the best make mistakes

You have several issues with your profile. Below is the list.

• Crossphere is not a name, that is an alias. Please generate a name.
• There is no "genderless". Your character is either male or female. Even AIs that were originally bots have genders.
• Age please.
• Sexuality may be undefined, but you may actually be looking for something different such as "Asexual".
• Keep in mind that your beginning clothes will not look fancy at all and you will not be wearing the clothes in the image you have linked.
• No. Hard no. There are no Artificial Intelligences in the real world. The world of ET is not much more advanced than ours and we aren't very close to AI either. We can create programs that can generate responses based on commands and prompts, but there isn't much aside from that. There is no individuality or personalities except for what is given and there is not enough for a program to gain sentience. If you wish to play as a computer, consider playing a Bot instead, as that is much more likely to be a thing than a sentient program.

Generally, I note here to post below or contact a staff member when you have made changes. However, due to the potential for a full character rework, I am moving your profile to the WIP Board. After you have made your adjustments, please post in the Character Registration board again.

[X]

Strange, as this is kind of a remake of a character that I used to play here, back when I RP'ed here by the Lu cbox name. This response is more of a confirmation about what specifically I'm going to edit in the application content as well as a reply to the points stated as issues.

— Crossphere is the software's name. X was a software before being transported into Elder Tale as a living human being. I can easily come up with a name, but to me, it just doesn't sound right to name an AI the way one would a human - it's as if every person had to name their currently in use Operational System a human name. Again, this is just a confirmation. I'm willing to change it or give her something to be called a name right away if the answer is still no.

— Real gender is debatable. Certainly genders can be vaguely applied to strong AI for the sake of communication and in order to avoid the uncanny valley effect, but an AI whose main working stage is the back-end ( which I apologize for not revealing enough details in the character's bio) hardly would need such strict gender selection. It's hard to apply genders to this kind of AI, but it is even harder to apply genders to bots ( who also have the ability to learn up to a certain point) that generally are meant to execute repetitive tasks. Think of Microsoft's Cortana - she's an AI that many refer to as "she". Now think of voice recognition programs - they are AIs as well, but do people name those and refer to them as he/she? Hardly. Crossphere's case is the latter scenario. I can still change her gender to female in real life as well if the answer remains no.

— Changed.

— It's more along the lines that X simply doesn't know. Cross has just received the ability to perceive the world around it like humans do, and it's not easy to set in stone that "she" won't feel sexual attraction towards anyone. I've changed it to another word. I believe the main cause is my english, which might not be the best out there - for this, I apologize.

— I'm well aware that everyone starts like a newbie blob. It's the reason why there are more details about her body, distinguishing features and visual behavior than her clothing, which I intended to keep a bit vague yet still match the clothing I want to give her later on.

— There are no Strong (Sentient) Artificial Intelligences in the real world. I understand your lore-wise concern, and am willing to throw the sentience part out the window. However, I won't make the character a bot. Bots have the ability to learn and all in some cases, but they generally deal with repetitive tasks rather than analyze given data and come to a conclusion based on evidence that comes from data repositories/banks. Playing a bot would mean that I'd have to roleplay scenarios (such as learning many new basic humans functions as well as an overall lack of socialization skills) that I'd rather not to. If the answer to this last point is still no, I'd rather make an entirely new character.

Again, this is just to clear things up if my character and the intentions I had about it weren't clear enough. Thank you for reading.
