As you can see I'm a minimalist when it comes to character sheets. I don't mind how far you go with yours, you can even add some sections if you like. I much prefer you use your energy and creativity on well written, good length posts.

Defining Features : Mark is an extremely well built Adult male, Standing At 6'5. He has vary compact, yet strong muscles, allowing strength and endurance with speed and flexibility, although all these skills are within human limits. He has Bright cosmic blue eyes and long pitch black messy hair. His voice is extreamly deep, yet vary soft. His skin is vary pale, but scared from hours of training and countless battles. His attire usually consists of a black leather jacket and blue jeans and a black tank top underneath.

Additional Information : Mark is a vary kind and wise individual, but he is also a fighter at heart. He values honor and bravery. Although if he is being challenged, he won't back off. He will protect thoes who can't fight and/or don't stand a chance. However even with these qualities, Mark is not a social person. Her perfers to spend his hours in the dojo or library, sharpening and advancing his mind or skills. But the most important thing of all is his tenacity and willpower, doing whatever it takes to get to his goals and do that to the best if his ability

Bio: Marks father was an esteemed martial artist. His parents met when his father came to America to teach his skills and his mother was a student. Sadly, his mother died shortly after he was born, leaving only him and his father. From an extremely young age, his father immersed him into various matrial arts. Before he reached the age of ten, he was a black belt in Karate, ninjutsu and Akido. Every day his father would push him to his physical limits, but also would pour out his wisdom to his son. A warrior needs to be wise as well as powerful, kind yet ruthless, Gentle yet strong. By the age of sixteen, he could fight and defeat trained men twice his age. He was a fighter, but not a warrior. At least not yet. However, Marks father was the head of a powerful clan which was at war with several others. One night, the enemies of the Chikara clan banded together and launched an attack on their home. Many skilled warriors came from the shadows and fought them both, but Mark was prepared and used his fathers training well. But it seems like their combined power was not enough to fight back the intruders, as Marks father was overwhelmed and killed before his eyes. Mark managed to escape the chaos, running away from the burning building he called home. He then swore vengeance against his fathers enemies, but he obviously needed more training if he wanted them dead. He heard of a school in the mountains that trained powerful warriors. Starting his journey, he set out to avenge his father.

So I'm not mad about this sheet, but to fit you need a few changes. First off, let's make your knowledge of martial arts more realistic. Don't worry, everyone will get the chance to progress to master level eventually. You need to take away all but three of those martial arts learned. Want to be a black belt in karate? Sure, but it takes years to master even one style. Even by prodigy standards your guy could accomplish that by fourteen and that's being generous. Pick a couple others to suppliment your style however you want.

Secondly, America doesn't exist anymore. I'm beginning to suspect you didn't read the information about the roleplay very closely, which is a little insulting. I like those other things with the clans and whatnot. That's something that would certainly exist in this universe.

Try and fix those couple of those things and you should be fine.

Description: medium-short, light brown hair, deep green eyes, flat cheekbone and accented jaw bone. Primarily lean build with dense, as opposed to bulky, muscle. Calloused hands that always seem to have either soot or ink smudged on them. Is almost always seen wearing a worn and beaten leather coat. Intricate scars line the right side of his neck.
Martial arts learned: Kali, quarterstaff fighting

Boxing: 1

Strength: 2
Speed: 2
Stamina: 3
Background: Axus, as his name implies, is a member of the Windico clan. This means a lot of things. It means he is among the many clans that inhabit where the ancients call "Germany". It means there is a passion for all things steel and fire in his blood. It means written language is no challenge for him. But most of all, it means he is alone. He was raised by his uncle, the proudest of Windicos and the best influence a young man could ask for. Under his tutelage, Axus was quick to learn the intricacies of blacksmithing and writing. The young man had aspired to be a storyteller, so that all could hear his voice. Things were looking up Axus. But we know what they say about all good things. One minute he's practicing his penmanship, and the next he has a quarterstaff in his hands fighting for his life. Fire and screams polluted the air. It felt like the end of the world. Then it all went black.

When Axus came to, he was in the back of a stopped wagon with bandages all over his neck and chest. He had been found by a party of travelers from the east who were returning home after seeing the west-most ocean. They had dressed his wound best the could, but the damage to his neck had been done. His uncle's pole axe and coat were the only things Axus was found with. Axus knew his uncle had gotten him out of there. He couldn't prove it, but he knew. Just like he knew the man had payed the ultimate price, along with the rest of his clan. From there, Axus would join the travelers, who helped him cope with the tragedy. They taught him all they knew about their land; languages, culture, food, glorious food. But what Axus appreciated the most was they taught him how to fight with a knife, and with that skill came an appreciation for agility. When he finally conquered his grief, he vowed that he would work to make himself into the greatest fighter humanly possible, so that he could return to his homeland and end the wars between the clans. It seemed like an impossible dream, until he heard a rumor about fighters in the east who had access to a power capable of making them superhuman: Chi. Axus decided the first step on his quest would be to acquire the power of Chi, so when the time came he departed from the travelers band and made his way to a school high in the mountains.

He knew going in that he wound need to leave his weapons at the door and fight in a way he knew very little about. He knew that despite the fact that his neck injury had healed, he was still left handicap in terms of communication. He knew that he was alone. As much as these facts broke his heart, he held his head high.

Persona: Dimitri is a gentle and cool man. He does not get angry easily, even when being insulted. He is seen smiling pleasantly all the time, even in tough spots. He has a lighthearted and breezy personality. Dimitri is very loyal to his friends, putting trust in them. He appears to have fairly decent morals, understanding the rights and wrongs in life. A trait that Dimitri possess is that he is very observant and perceptive, picking out tiny reactions on peoples' faces and is able to easily grasp the latter's emotions.

Background: A mix between a East Asian (Japanese) and a Northerner (Russian), Dimitri was born and raised on an island in the ocean to the East. His father was formerly a soldier who after receiving his pension, left to a native island in the North East. Falling in love with a village girl, he married and had a child who was Dimitri. Dimitri grew up doing labor chores and helping with the small farm they had. His father also physically conditioned Dimitri since he was young, allowing Dimitri to be physically capable when he was young. His father would continue to practice the martial arts techniques he learned in the military, Dimitri becoming inspired one day when his father beat up a group of thieves in the village. His aspirations to be able to defend himself and family from anyone became his one true goal! After turning thirteen his father allowed Dimitri to travel back to his father's homeland and study the now named martial arts, judo. After the half a month long voyage, Dimitri landed on the island of his father's origin, Japan? Dimitri quickly traveled to a judo dojo where his father's comrade was the master and requested that he teach his son. The comrade hurriedly accepted and that is where Dimitri started his training. After a year of studying judo, Dimitri began to master the basics as well as picking up jujutsu from another local master. Upon turning sixteen, Dimitri had mastered the basics of judo and was coming close with jujutsu. A wandering karate practitioner one day saw Dimitri defending a shop keeper from a pesky thief and admired Dimitri's skill and requested he study karate under him. Dimitri agreed, providing the wandering practitioner a home at the dojo and began to learn the initial basics of karate. A few weeks after his seventeenth birthday, Dimitri received a letter that he had been accepted and allowed to tryout for a disciple position at the World's School of Martial Arts. Grinning with excitement, Dimitri thanked his three masters and quickly boarded a ship to the mainland, China. After arriving on the mainland Dimitri quickly traveled to the World's School of Martial Arts and attended the try outs which he won and was accepted as a disciple under the legendary Na Fae-Bong.

I like the idea that Na Fae Bong actively seeks out students from around the world. Perhaps he was friends with one of Demitri's masters during his travels and that's how he heard about him.

Yo so he's mostly good but to start off you can only have 1 strength and 2 adepts. The rest have to be weaknesses. Don't worry, everyone will have their chance to raise to master level, but the master has to have something to teach you, yknow? So go ahead and pick which one you want to keep and he can be accepted.

Background: Dhonnie Banal has been fighting for as long as he could remember. Pirates and would be conquerers have attempted to take his small island chain of a home.

The fight has been spiritual as well as physical. Dhonnie’s Tuhon was insistent to train him even in peacetime. He insisted that fighting wasn’t just fighting. Before Dhonnie could learn what his teacher meant though, he was taken in a slaver raid and taken across the waters.

He escaped but rather than try and return home, he heard of a land further to the East that was a place of peace, but trained fighters. Not eager to return to a home of internecine conflict but wanting to understand what his teacher was trying to impart to him, he headed East to this World martial arts school.
