Name: Turtle
Age: 10,000 years and still young
Race: Quaesit Tortoise
Eye Color: Purple
Height: 7'
Shell Size: 5' radius
Weight: 982 lbs (445.428 kg)

Personality: He is the quite type. Just sits and stares at you. But if he comes to like you he will open a mental link with you and talk to you and maybe even help you out.

Appearance: Turtle looks like a normal Tortoise. He has hexagonal pattern on his brown shell. His one foot long legs are brown and have giant pads on the bottom to support his shell's weight. His head rises a foot above his shell to bring him to top at 7 feet. His mouth is sharp so he can snap bone if need be. However he is a herbivore so he doesn't usually need to do that.

Skills:

Observation - he has learned how to observe his surroundings and decide what to do from there.
Combat Instructor - he is good at training others in any combat.
Turtle Style - He knows how to fight if ever he is attacked. Every hundred years or so he will go to the Citadel and join in combat against anyone who is willing too fight a turtle.

Abilities:

Withdraw - Can pull himself into his Carapace Shell. It still hurts to be hit, but not as much as it would be to be hit on one of his leathery limbs.
Snapper - Can snap limbs with 100 lbs of force, if they get into his mouth.
Telepathy - Can talk to others through there mind as well as read minds as long as there is no mental blocks in place and they talk to him through the telepathic link..

History: Turtle has traveled the world. He has seen most of the biggest events throughout history including The War Tap, The Demon Wars, The Clash of the Elven Empires, The Enarlin Rebellion, Coronari Poldora's Creation, Rise of the Forgotten, The Corpse War, & The First Aleran Invasion. He has seen it all and is going to continue to see history unfold.

Welcome to Althanas! Can you please just specify under telepathy that he can only read minds if others intentionally "speak" to him in that manner? (More powerful mind reading can come in at a higher level.) Just edit your profile with the change and post here to let me know. Thanks!

Having a steel equivalent shell isn't as clear as I'd like it to be, as it doesn't address weight/thickness/etc. I propose that you consider defining his shell as carapace and skin as leather. This will give him appropriate turtle shell protection, but the materials make more sense. If you'd like to look over these options, you can check them out in the Bazaar Material List (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?22255-The-Bazaar-FAQ-Tier-List&p=178930&viewfull=1#post178930). If this works for you, please make the change and then you'll be approved. Feel free to ask questions, as well.

Carapace isn't as hard as steel, it's as hard as carapace. Can you please clarify that?

You are approved. Please note that the carapace clarification was required so we know how other Althanas-based materials will hold up against it in the case of a battle. Consult the materials list I mentioned above or feel free to ask questions if you're unsure how to realistically portray carapace in a thread.
