So, some more information has come to light in regards to character and weapon design and a big word; plagiarism. The time for negotiations is done, this stops now.

It has come to my attention that this weapon design you 'came up with' was straight up stolen from SAO. This slipped by under my radar since i'm not familiar with that particular anime. It seems we've come full circle now.

I will reiterate this, because clearly it was not heard the first three times. You can NOT just take artwork as your own. For starters, and this was missed because i couldn't see the pictures at the time of reviewing, but you said that it was his inspiration for the alternate outfit, but going back through it, you clearly just copied it. May i remind you that, when designing character outfits, you are NOT to simply take something from an anime, slap it on your character and call it good. Not only is this bad form and make you look like a bad writer, but it's also stealing, since you didn't even try to change it up, nor did you even source the artwork, even if it WERE okay to do so in the first place.

Next, those aren't your weapon. For starters, they don't resemble your weapons description AT ALL. Second, they were clearly made by someone on dA, given the name of the file, which you didn't even try to cover up and change. It needs to be taken down. While we're on the topic of that new weapon, i recall someone on the chat the other night telling me how it was stolen, though i don't know the specifics, i leave that open for anyone else to elaborate on further.

UPDATE: The weapon in the picture and, to an extent the one described are both Bloodedge from BlazBlue. Again, that's not going to fucking fly. DO NOT paste anime weapons and/or outfits onto your characters.

Next, i think you have failed to realize that this is no longer a negotiation. Leave ONLY the two skills i specified or you will NOT get him Accepted, end of story.

Rejected.
