A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.

In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

Re: [CANON] Lindow Amamiya || God Eater Burst || Reserved || 2 of 2]

[dont_die]

Strengths/Weaknesses:

Strengths :

Physical Enhancements : He's not insanely strong or anything but being an ace God Eater, Lindow is slightly stronger, faster, agile, durable and has more stamina then your average human being.

Cool Head : Lindow almost never panics or freaks out. He takes everything with stride, good or bad and deals with it. He still gets scared and worried, especially when he though he was going to die, but even at that moment Lindow still managed to keep himself together.

Slight Mutation : With the loss of his God Arc and Aragami mutation, Lindow gained an interesting ability. He went from being an Old-Type God Eater to a New-Type, meaning he's capable of using a blade and a gun though his is slightly different. Lindow's right arm takes some of it's cells and from his flesh, creates a God Arc that is similar to his old one with the addition of a gun-mode.

Sword and Agility Skills : Lindow is close range God Eater that specializes in using swords. He is second to none in the Far East Branch in terms of sword skills, and he can take down small to medium sized Aragami's in one hit. He's also really quick on his feet, able to dodge most attacks and even jump over some Aragami. He's also really good at running away and hiding, which is part of the reason why his survival rate is so high.

Weakness :

Numbers : Lindow is terrible with them. He can barely count properly and he doesn't care to correct it.

Still Human : Regardless of his enhancements, Lindow is still human and has limits. Even with all his skill and prowess, he can still be knocked down and even killed.

Poor Marksmanship : Lindow is a swordsman, and he trained himself to be one so when he discovered he can now use a gun, he found his skills lacking in that department. He always knew he was bad with guns, which is why he chose to use a sword in the first place.

Abilities:

Sword/Gun mode : Like a normal God Arc, Lindow's pseudo - God Arc is capable of these things.

Devour Mode : Used only by God Eaters with close range abilities. The blade of the God Arc minimizes and from within the maid body, a giant Aragami head comes out and bites into the target Aragami and devours some of it's Oracle Cells, giving the God Eater a temporary boost in their physical capabilities. When the Aragami has been defeated, Devour Mode extracts the core of the Aragami.

Boost Mode : The result of a devour; temporary boost of the God Eaters physical ability. New types have the ability to compress the cells they taken and fire it back the at the target in gun mode to damage it, or pass the energy to fellow God Eaters.

First Person:

[The video is static for a few seconds before Lindow shows up on the feed.]

Oh hey! There we go. Alright so….umm…let's see…

Hey! The name's Lindow Amamiya. It looks like I'm gonna be stuck here for a while so let's all get along, okay?

The end. Just kidding!

So, a little about myself….umm…well I like beer, and cigarettes, and…huh…man, this is harder than I thought….

[He looks down, deep in thought. Lindow isn't the best at giving long introductions, but he didn't think he was this bad.]

Hmmm well, I'm happily married and I've got, well, HAD a good a good paying job.

Hmm, what else? Oh! If anyone knows where to get a cold beer around here, I'm free to drink anytime!

So, I guess that's it! If you guys got any questions, feel free to ask! I've got nothing to hide.

Well, see ya around!

[He smiles brightly, scratching the back of his head while he does so. Somewhere he thinks his introduction was somewhat acceptable, though it could have been better. Tsubaki would probably have a million things to say on what he did wrong.]

Third Person:

It was morning and Lindow had just risen from his bed. He finished putting on his daily outfit when he looks back at his bed, messy and littered with black feathers. It's been a long time since he's slept alone in a bed. He was used to feeling Sakuya's wrath beside him, and waking up early just to see her sleeping face. "It feels a little….big." He walks over and lies down, his hand behind his head, and closes his eyes. He imagines the day he and Sakuya got married. She looked stunning in her dress, her smile was radiant, and her eyes were like gems in the light. It's like he fell in love all over again. He also remembers how nervous he was. He couldn't sit still, he couldn't even put his bow tie on properly! He had to have his sister tie it for him. A smile crossed his lips and he opened his eyes. "Yeah….".

Lindow stood up and walked out of his room. He stopped right outside his door and studied the hallway. The place was familiar to him now, but he had a hard time adjusting when had first arrived. He remembers the hallways in the branch, small and cramped. If you weren't looking where you were walking you'd crash into someone. He remembers how he'd always check up on Soma when he wakes up. He never liked it, but that didn't stop Lindow. He'd bother him every morning, telling him to get up and get to work. He'd also remember how Some would throw him out and tell him to mind his own business.

Lindow simply shook his head and laughed, a melancholy smile on his face.

He strolled to the floor below. He stood at the base of the stairs and looked around, all the new faces around him. Some face remind him of his old comrades, and some he had difficulty remembering. Once again he starts to recollect the early mornings in the branch, some were lazy and wouldn't be active till they had coffee while others were already up and about. He remembers when Kota was begging Alisa and Yuu for their rationed pancakes. His sister had over heard it and scolded Kota, he couldn't help but laugh. He wouldn't say anything, but he was kinda lonely without them around. He missed Sakuya's smile, Kota's eagerness, Alisa's determination, the Yuu's kindness, hell, he even missed Soma's crankiness.

Lindow was never one to stay depressed. Even though they weren't around right now, he knew they were alive somewhere. He knows it, he's sure that they'll meet again. He sighed, rubbing the back of his head. He walked out into the street, his head held up high and smiled, talking to no one in particular, and said

"Morning guys! It's another great day so let's try to keep it that way, alright?"
