Personality:
Overall: In general, easygoing, laid back.
Likes: smooth jazz/disco/ambient/classical music; chocolate; astronomy; poetry

Strengths: Generally robust health. Was once in the habit of working out. Can fight pretty well. Has a PhD in astronomy, and also practices basic alchemy in secret. He can project flames, and has been working on creating high metals from base ones (eg, lead into gold, etc).

Combat:
Weapon: Can pull a broadsword from his gem, but also owns a pair of automatic pistols
Abilities: Can shapeshift, grow ten times his original size, and can fuse with other Gems/Metals
Fighting style: best at fisticuffs, but does know a few martial arts moves. Can disarm an assailant from behind.

History
Biography: Born into Metal nobility several hundred thousand years ago at height of metal civilization. Forced to flee after Metal capitol was destroyed by fascist Homeworld forces led by the Diamonds. He flew among the cosmos for some time until crash landing on Earth shortly before the rebellion. He knew Rose Quartz at one time, but he didn't fight in the rebellion, having seen enough warfare back home to become completely disgusted with all forms fighting. He watched the war from afar. He observed countless gems on both sides perish, and resolved to be a pacifist afterwards, swearing to raise up instead of destroy.

He remained in contact with Rose until she gave birth to Steven. Auros has lived in Beach City since, observing the boy grow from afar.

I revoke my approval, the weaknesses you've listed have never affected Auros in roleplay.


Also, I'd like to remind you that this is SU so there is no need to have "ultra-liberal/ultra-conservatives; homophobes" under dislikes. In the SU universe, everyone is very accepting, and there haven't been any major wars; I highly doubt these exist, but please keep your propaganda to yourself anyway.


For personality, "easygoing and stubborn" are kinda contradicting, don't you think? I can't be an easygoing person if all I do is argue my point.


Please fix these issues and your OC will be approved again.

With what MC said about the weaknesses...Yeah, I would fix those a bit. Not specific enough and is too mild.

BUT

The other two reasons? Kinda dumb. No, they're aren't any "homophobes" persay that we've SEEN (mind you, SEEN) in the SU universe, but not all of the people are that accepting. Its still a flawed universe and its going to have flawed people, like our world. So honestly, I saw no problem with that. But maybe it should be changed to "close-minded assholes" or something like that.

As for the contradicting, people are people. We have tendencies to do one or the other, we're somewhat unpredictable.

BUT, to make it sound better, how about Auros "is usually easygoing, but has the tendency to be stubborn at times." Something along those lines.


Honestly, I still approve Auros. Other than those little things that can be easily fixed, I think hes fine.

>"No, they're aren't any "homophobes" persay that we've SEEN (mind you, SEEN) in the SU universe, but not all of the people are that accepting"

RL, the the homophobic comment still doesn't belong here, and you being a skeptic doesn't prove anything.

>"As for the contradicting, people are people. We have tendencies to do one or the other, we're somewhat unpredictable. "

easygoing and stubborn ARE contradicting, there's no sugar coding that. You can't say someone is calm if you also say that they get infuriated aswell.
