Hello there hound! it's good to meet you, and I hope you feel welcomed by the site.

There's a few issues with your joining form we will need to handle before we can approve it.

For starters, when it comes to your abilities, we do need some descriptions for them, even if they are short. "Damage 5" can be referring to anything from a sword to a stiff kick to a particularly short-ranged gun on this site, for instance, so definition is important so we know what it is being applied by, as well as how hard it hits. This is something we'll need in general for your abilities before any of them can be graded.

Secondly, sense is not an ability that really needs multiple ranks, and would simply be bought again as a different communication device if you wished to represent several, which should save you some essence

as an additional, important note, both the sense and concealment abilities need to specify a sense that is either enhanced, or which you conceal yourself from - sight, sound, smell, touch, taste, or extrasensory.

Lastly, after adding up your abilities in terms of the raw numbers, I only come up with 1750 essence total for all of them. it is extremely helpful to the approval process if you list the essence cost of all of your abilities next to them, so we can figure out where that missing essence is going, along with any other errors going forward.

i have finished my edits after a long while, sorry about that.
im looking back at the character abilities and im confused , because it lists ranks in sense aswell as distance applied to them.

 

[Ridley]

reading back, I did say sense when I meant communications earlier, sorry about that. but as you've added another form of communication - specifying Radio, as well as phone - we're back in the clear.

To discuss specific bits:

Sense rank 2 - you need to describe just what kind of sense it is - sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, or extrasensory - in order to gain this ability.

Concealment rank 2 - again, you'd need to describe, though from the flavor I imagine it is sight. Importantly, if you wish to hide things for longer than a few seconds without concentrating on it, you'd also want to get the "Ongoing" modifier for the ability.

 

[Mark Spade]

ahhhhh i see now , alrighty, i have fixed it . lemme know if im missing anything else, also fixed the calculations.

 

[Ridley]

concealment rank 2 would actually be 400, as the ongoing modifier increases the essence cost by 100 per rank.

 

[Mark Spade]

is it fine if i go with no essence left, i fixed the calculations.

 

[Ridley]

That is always fine, you are not obligated to save any amount of it! In this case, joining form is approved! be sure to post your character's profile in the "character profile" forum, and someone will be along to change your account name to "Mark Spade" shortly.
