He wears a jet black watch, with the time in roman numerals. His posture is usually straight and tall, partially as a way to mask his actual shortness, and partially because it’s healthier. He wears a dark red tie, and has broad shoulders. He’s very muscular for his size, and works out a lot.

Personality: (At least a paragraph) Jim is very emotional. He is protective, especially of his children in his kindergarten. He often lets his feelings override logic, and can switch from being goofy and silly to extremely angry within a second. Mood swings are his prime issue. Jim hates insects, specifically bees and wasps. He gets very angry when people point out his height. Jim loves to exercise, and uses it as a method to take out his anger. He does muay thai as a hobby, and loves to show it off. His favourite food is Pizza, and he eats it nearly all the time. Jim was also raised with very strong political beliefs instilled upon him, his family was always extremely loyal to the government, and he has inherited this trait. When Jim feels something is going against his personal morals and code of justice, he tends to get angry extremely easily. He’s even fought people over minor disagreements. It should be noted that around children ,he’s extremely well mannered and kind.

The Background

History:(At Least 2-3 Paragraphs) Jim’s father and mother were both politicians. Although they both passed away in a mysterious accident when Jim was around 15, he remembers them perfectly. As a child, his parents made it extremely clear that the government was the only order in the world, and anyone who defied the government was evil. He grew to hate all who even question the government. After his parents died, Jim grew to have a short temper.

As he went through college, Jim dated a girl who worked at a kindergarten. Jim was originally majoring in English. As he went to visit the kindergarten his girlfriend worked at, he fell in love with children. Rather than try to become a well known scholar (which he was very close to being), jim let his emotions guide him into the subject of teaching. He broke up with the girl after a few months, but his love for children remained.

Here we go. Minor thing. The app doesn't have the character name and quote on it up at the top. Nothing that hurts, but I like uniformity, so please fix.

—Strength Name:Teacher
—Description: Mr. S is a solid teacher, and makes sure teachable moments are consistently taken advantage of. People in his party gain a 7.5% experience boost.

I am afraid I cannot let it go as it is; however, if you lower the gain to 5% and keep that boost to yourself alone, it can pass.

—Strength Name: Muay Thai
—Description: Jim has trained in the art of Muay Thai for years. A defensive fighter, Jim has a lot of practice defending slashing elbows and a variety of striking techniques. takes 5% less damage from strike and slash damage.

Nope. I won’t let this go. My deal is slash. I can see if you take 5% less damage from strike due to martial arts; however, slash is a no. Slash here is referring to swords and other items that cut…and there is nothing in the app that suggest he can handle such attacks. I do not consider an elbow slash a slash attack even if it has the ability to draw blood. It is still a form of strike. Leave it at strike and you’re fine.

—Strength Name: Solid Body
—Description: Jim’s body is very well built. Not only does this make him more attractive with women, it helps a lot when it comes to strength. Jim is able to lift things that most other people cannot, and he can deadlift up to 500 lbs. Essentially, he can pick things up and throw things that other people usually cannot.

Ummm….no. 500 lbs is way over the top this guy. Please lower the amount he can lift.

As usual, I expect you to flesh out the history some more to explain some things. Like why he dumped his girl and why he suddenly got a short temper after his parents died. Outside of this, I see nothing else wrong with the app.
