You have the potential, but can you unlock it?

In Go Taisho, your character has two forms: Primary and Alternate.

Before filling in the app and the bio section, please read all the journals.

Primary Form

The Primary Form is the character’s ‘real’ self who is enrolled in Seiko High.

Guidelines

Any hair and eye colour is allowed.
All characters must be 100% human.
Their ages should be appropriate for their year level. If you’re planning on making a slightly younger/older student for a certain year level, please add an explanation on their description as to why they are in that year level.
All nationalities are allowed, although it is encouraged to have more Japanese students to keep the setting realistic. If making a character of a different nationality, please explain why they decided to study at Seiko High.
Disabilities, mental illnesses, and disorders are allowed, but we would like you to discuss it with us beforehand. We will be rather strict with this.
Their Element should be related to the character's personality/actions/etc.

Alternate Form

The manifestation of the character’s inner feelings. Because of this the Alternate form amplifies the character’s strongest traits (especially the negative ones). At the start, the ‘real’ self is unaware of the alternate form’s existence, whereas the other self is aware of the primary self.

Guidelines

Eye colour in alternate form will correspond with their chosen element. (Ex. Element is wood, then their eyes will be green.)
Alternate form’s design should reflect the character’s inner feelings. (Ex. They feel like their freedom is being restricted = they have chains around them, etc.)
The design should also lean to being 'darker', so horns, claws, etc. are allowed.
Alt. Forms must be mostly greyscale (shades; black/gray/white - SKIN INCLUDED) and will usually have the element's color incorporated in it.

Weapons

Students are restricted to one weapon only, with the exception of the StuCo. There may be means to attain a secondary weapon in the future.

We encourage creativity with weapon creation. You may have things like gun blades, swords, axes, etc. Like in the BRS series, weapons can be of any size, since the alternate forms will be able to wield them regardless. However, to avoid godmodding here are some general guidelines:

Your weapon should reflect your character's stats e.g. if your weapon is thrice the size of a person your character will be slowed down.
If it's a multi-functional weapon please keep it at two functions at most (like a gunblade, etc).

that being said, while describing the weapon please make sure to list advantages and disadvantages. If you're unsure about a weapon idea you have, feel free to ask us about it. Likewise, we will ask you to modify your weapon if we find it overpowered.

Edit: Weapons will be upgrade-able and may be swapped or modified through purchases or events.
