OH NO A TYPO

I MEANT CENTIMETERS SORRY

Chevaleresse · November 10, 2016

hokay

Solomon:

eeh, self-inserts. Not generally a fan. But whatever. You goofed up your health formula; it's 30 + (your level)*(your level+your CON) so it should be 32. Equipment looks ok, if slightly weak; light armor that only gives +2 RES doesn't need penalties attached. Your perks look fine. Onto your actions, your Basic Defense needs to be one that reduces damage. You -can- take a counterattack, but not as a Basic. Your other Actions can probably use a buff; they're all a bit weak. Arcane Blast could have a 2 or 1 turn cooldown by default. Maniacal Laugh and Mark Target can be quite a bit stronger at base, since they're granted by a Perk; they're also free, meaning they don't cost AP to create (though you do need to use AP to level them.)

Complexity 3.

Jasper:

Cryo Rounds don't need a limited duration. They can just reduce init. Desert Born should work the same way, though I'd like a Flaw to come up slightly more often. . . Aim to Cripple should specifically inflict a status of some kind; the system doesn't track movement well (though I thought about using a "soft" position system like the one in Magical Burst) so it should probably disable melee or something. The game has no innate miss chances, so the note about rolling hit for each attack on fanning is unnecessary. You don't need to burn an action on reloading; say that it's a negative special quality of the weapon (I'll put this in the errata.) Looks like you're missing a bit of AP as well.

Giving you a Complexity of 6.

Halley:

Justice's Pursuit is quite strong. I'm slightly leery of it for the moment, but for now it passes. Justice's Veil is okay, if not weak, since a dodge at the same chance nulls 100% of damage if it goes off (though attacks can be auto-hit.) Your blaster should have higher penalties if it's going to be so good. Can't be forcibly unequipped AND upgradeable AND starts at 2d6 damage? Same story with Nanometal Jumpsuit and Flashy Ribbons; they're a little much for having such low penalties. Damage scaling is totally out of control on Sparkling Strike; AoE should do overall less damage than a single target attack of equivalent level and your level scaling on it is too high. Reduce the damage formula and set a minimum number of targets. Takedown looks alright, though it should be just a stun and enemies should be able to resist it (make it STR vs CON or similar.) Specify what the blinding effect is on Supercharge and maybe increase its cooldown a bit.

Complexity of 7.

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy done!

Presenting: Blue Mage Kancolle Magical Prisma Idol Keijo Player Slime Girl, Koizumi Kagari!

Name: Koizumi Kagari, of the Elusive Butt
Age: 765 (Self-aware Years: 25)
Gender: F
Race: Slime Girl
Sex: Asexual

Appearance:

Her most distinctive feature is her hair. She lets it splay out behind her, falling to waist length. It starts black at the roots but becomes a translucent purple near the tips. She has green eyes and an angular face. Slender build, flat-chested, with a firm butt (this is important for reasons). Shorter than others her age. Wears a one-piece dark blue swimsuit reminiscent of a school swimsuit when competing, but usually favours cute clothing with loads of frills in pastel colours. When transformed, her hair turns shocking pink, and her clothes are replaced by a pink swimsuit overlaid with a white frilly blouse, blending together her very varied aesthetics.

Personality:

Cheerful, Excitable, Whimsical. She takes things she enjoys very seriously, and tends to be dismissive and bored when it comes to things which do not pique her interest.

Equipment

Name: Apocalypse Collider, the Eternity Bane
Description: A pink handheld microphone with a cute white ribbon wrapped on the handle. Can change form to become a hands-free ear-mounted mouthpiece, with the ribbon appearing on the ear mount. It can talk, but only Kagari hears it.
Type: Weapon
Damage: 1d6 + SYN
Minimum Stats: SYN > 4
STR Penalty: 0 (It's a Microphone ._.)
SYN Threshold/Bonus: 10 SYN [+2 damage] 25 SYN [Damage Dice changes to 1d10] 35 SYN [Layered Voice: She can sing two songs at once]
Special Qualities:
- Bound: This equipment is bound to this character's abilities in some way. It cannot be permanently lost, but cannot be upgraded outside of special circumstances.
- Job-Specific: Only usable when in Magic Idol form
- Evolving: Add 1d4 to damage for every 10 levels of SYN

Name: School Swimsuit Ausf. GETREKT
Description: Looks like a school swimsuit, feels like a school swimsuit. Is most definitely much more than a school swimsuit. The material is a special, scientifically-engineered one that maximises flexibility and strength. If a Keijo player is a samurai, then her swimsuit is her sword. And this swimsuit is a sword to stand with the finest.
Type: Armor
RES Bonus: 2
Minimum Stats: Keijo player

Special Qualities:
- Slippery: Gives a 20% chance to completely avoid an incoming physical attack.

Special Qualities:
- Bound: This equipment is bound to this character's abilities in some way. It cannot be permanently lost, but cannot be upgraded outside of special circumstances.
- Darwinism: Her core is constantly evolving, to make sure Kagari can adapt to her environment. +1 DEX every 2 levels.

Perks

Keijo Pro (Outfighter):

Kagari is an S-rank Keijo outfighter, and has the skills to match. She will never lose her balance on shaky terrain, she uses wet surfaces to her advantage to aid her attacks, and she is extremely skilled in using her butt in very creative ways.

> If fighting on unstable terrain, she gets a DEX*2 chance to evade attacks
> If fighting on wet terrain, she gets DEX*1.5 added to her damage rolls
> Attacks made using her butt will get bonus damage added equivalent to SYN for each hit, before calculations. (e.g. if the attack would deal 0.8 of the damage, it would be calculated as (base damage + SYN) * 0.8)

Slime Recombination:

Kagari is ~~secretly~~ a slime girl. When she dies, her body will automatically try to pull itself back together. However, this takes time, and renders her immobile. Also, each time she does this, she regenerates into a smaller version, because she need to use the excess slime from her body to repair the damage. Twice per battle, upon taking fatal damage, instead revives. For first revival, max hp is reduced to half of previous value. For second revival, max HP reduced to 1 and all stats halved. Upon activation, action-locked and cannot change physical location for 3 turns

Mimic Slime:

Kagari is an especially rare species of slime known as a <<Mimic Slime>>. To attain this status, one has to undergo three cycles of reincarnation and attain perfect nirvana, accepting that all is one and one is all, thus blurring the distinctions between self and other, allowing her to manipulate her form. Jk. She was born this way. #gitDarwin'd.

She has the unique ability to take on the form and/or properties of objects she's ingested, though this only applies to objects she's eaten since she gained self-awareness. So that's kind of a small list. If taking on the form of something that has a particularly large volume, she needs to have a body of water nearby that's big enough to provide the necessary volume.

- Slime Form, Install!: She constantly takes on a "Primary" form and a "Secondary" form. The Primary form is her actual body, the Secondary form is her equipment/armor. The Secondary forms she can take all grant specific stat bonuses, and can be donned at will as a free action. However, changing forms mid-battle requires one action. Each Secondary Form changes her weapon's appearance, but its damage calculation remains the same as Apocalypse Collider.

- Can a slime be a Blue Mage?: Furthermore, by consuming the bodies of dead enemies, she is able to learn their abilities. ~~But due to her having only 4 move slots because of being a mega-evolved Ditto, she has to forget the previous move to learn the new one.~~ But since she prefers mastery over variety, she'll only let herself hold one such move at a time, so she can focus on mastering it.

Actions

Transform: Kagari starts every battle in Keijo Form, but can use one action to transform into Magic Idol Form, healing herself for 20% hp. When in Magic Idol Form, she can use Songs, her Basic Attack and Defence actions are changed, and her DEX and SYN levels are switched. She can activate this action again to revert to Keijo Form. The transformation lasts until she deactivates it.

- Level 2: Guerilla Live - During the same turn as a transformation, Kagari can immediately start singing a song, but cannot use any butt attacks.

Keijo Form

Basic Attack: Buttsmack - Kagari launches herself at her opponent, butt-first, dealing damage equal to 1d6 + STR.

Basic Defense: Can't See Me - Kagari moves erratically to make it harder for opponents to track her movements. Even if a hit lands, it will probably be only a glancing one. Reduces damage taken by 50% for the round.

Magic Idol Form

Basic Attack: Staccato - Kagari shouts a single note into her microphone, generating a magic blast that hits her opponent for damage equivalent to her weapon damage.

Basic Defense: Legato - Kagari sings a single, long note that forms a magical shield around her, reducing damage taken by 50% for the round.

Knight of Firmament (Defence Song): Creates a protective Barrier around allies in earshot. Affected allies take 1d4 less damage for as long as Kagari sings. Only usable in Magic Idol Form. Kagari can only sing for 3 turns before she has to take a break, setting this song on a two turn cooldown.

- Level 2: Heart's Resolve - Instead of 1d4 damage mitigation, this song now grants SYN/2 damage mitigation, rounded down.

Two-Faced Lovers (Illusion Song): Weaves a lyrical spell that creates a magical doppelganger of a target. The copy mimics the original's moves and has no physical body. As long as she sings this song, the target has a multiplicative 50% chance to avoid an attack. Kagari can only sing for 3 turns before she has to take a break, setting this song on a two turn cooldown.

Paradichlorobenzene (Healing Song): Sings a ~~calming~~ song that soothes the soul and heals wounds. Restore 1d4 + SYN/2 hp to up to two targets. After singing this song, it takes three turns for her to get in the mood to sing it again.

- Level 2: Spiral - Instead of a one time heal, this song's effects now trigger once per turn as long as Kagari continues to sing, expending her action. Kagari can only sing for 3 turns before taking a break, setting this song on a two turn cooldown.

Both Forms

Hip Gatling: Kagari attacks her opponent rapidly with her butt, moving at insane speeds, at the cost of each hit being weaker. Deals Xd3 damage, where X is (DEX/2), rounded down. This is a butt attack. Using this interrupts her song, setting the song on cooldown.

- Level 2: Instead of Xd3, this attack does X hits of 1d3 damage, where X is (DEX/2), rounded down. Each hit is affected by modifiers.

Revolver Ass: Deals Nd4 damage to a target, where N = (1 + DEX/2). If an enemy has hit her with a melee action the previous turn, Kagari can choose to Unload against that enemy, giving the attack a 1.5x damage modifier and causing it to count as three distinct hits of equal damage. If Kagari chooses to Unload, she is Action-Locked for a turn.

Secondaries

Prei Voirgaire, Demon General

Spoiler

Name: Prei Voirgaire
Age: 1400
Gender: Female
Race: Dragon (The Western Lizardy kind, not the Eastern Serpentine kind)
Sex: Female
Appearance:

Normal: Stark white hair framing brilliant blue eyes. Her hair is just below shoulder length, kept meticulously combed and straight. Her fringe is held in place by a hairclip, designed with a dragon motif, made of an otherworldly metal, crowned by an amber gem. She wears full plate armor with a dragon theme, along with a dragon-maw helmet that rearranges itself around her head and can be thus donned or removed by willing it. A pair of large, white, reptilian wings emerge from her back, usually kept folded close to her.

Dragon: An extremely large dragon with impossibly white scales and burning blue eyes. She's large enough to comfortably fill most of a concert hall. She has silver armor lining her underbelly and head, with a saddle on her back, slightly above her wing joints, and a large amber gem attached to the back of her head.

Personality: Motherly. She enjoys helping to polish talent such that it fulfills the limits of its potential. To that end, she is gentle but strict. She loves sweet things and hates vegetables. She also loves meat, especially if it's raw. The rarer, the better. She has a strong sense of honour in battle, and will treat her opponents with respect.

Equipment:

Name: Dragonscale Armor
Description: A suit of shining armor made of an otherworldy metal, created by a combination of forging and magic.

Special Qualities:
- Quick Computation: Actions that have cast times/cooldowns have said cast times/cooldowns reduced by 1 turn per 10 SYN.

Dragonskin: Dragons have tough scales, and Prei's species is the toughest of them all. +1 RES per level.

Magical Prodigy: Prei was born with an abnormally large reserve of mana, and it continues to grow as she does. +1 SYN per level.

Dragonform: Prei can take on her dragon form at the cost of one action. In dragon form, she gains 2x RES and 1.5x STR, but loses 50% SYN and 50% DEX. Furthermore, her dragon form is really huge, so she can't use it in any enclosed spaces.

Honorable (Flaw): Prei has a strong sense of knightly honor, and is reluctant to fight in a battle where the conditions are unfair for her opponent. 0.7x effective damage if opponent is outnumbered.

Actions:

Basic Attack: Strike - Deals weapon damage.
Basic Defence: Guard - Takes 50% damage for the turn.

Elemental Spears - Prei forms an array of spears around her, made from condensed mana. The next time she deals damage, the summoned spears will attack the damaged target as well, disappearing afterward. The spears all deal magical damage and can be water/fire/wind/earth element associated. She can only use spears of one element at a time. Does 1d6 damage per spear, +1 spear per 5 SYN. Base 1 Spear.
- Level 2: Synergistic Elementalism - Scaling increases to +2 spears per 5 SYN. Damage increases to 1d12

- Level 3: Extended Elementalism - Elemental Spears now applies on her next 4 events of damage, rather than only her immediate next hit.

An Opening! - Prei is an expert in battle, and will not allow an opening to go unabused. Any time an enemy lands a hit on her, she retaliates with 1d6 physical damage. Passive.

Dragon's Protection - Once per turn, if an ally would receive damage that would bring them below 50% hp, Prei steps in and takes the blow instead. Passive. Three Turn Cooldown.

Dragonblood - Prei regenerates 10% HP per turn. Disabled if afflicted by any kind of status condition. Passive.

Unerring Judgment of the Dragon Maiden: <<Myriad Execution>> - Prei casts a ridiculous number of strengthening enhancements on herself to deliver a single, fatal blow. Charges up for three turns, then unleashes a massive attack during the turn she finishes charging. The attack deals STR + 2SYN + X damage, where X is double the total amount of damage she's sustained while charging the attack. The attack will always go last in the initiative order and will always target the highest HP opponent. While charging, all other passives are disabled, with the exception of Elemental Spears if she's previously casted that. This action is affected by her Enhancer bauble.
- Level 2: Higher Enhancement - Damage becomes 2STR + 2SYN + X

Inventory: Locket, Traveling cloak

Kagarin's accepted. Complexity 6

@S34N1C: Basic Attacks need to just be Basic. Just damage. Same with Basic Defense, they're intended to be super simple effects.

INT can't be a minimum stat. Otherwise, Theodore looks OK. Complexity 3 (thank you.)

EDIT: Jade looks ok. Complexity 8, largely due to ammo and status tracking.

Stalkerkain · November 11, 2016

Magna Sigyl enters the stage.

Name: Magna Sigyl, A Grim Reaper
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Race: Undead
Sex: Female
Appearance: Typically prefers to remain cloaked, as to avoid startling mortals when she goes about her job. Her mask (see below) hides her appearance, but red light emanates from her eye sockets, and through the mask. Underneath all the clothing, remains only a skeleton.
Personality: While typically easy-going and relaxed, she tends to take her job very seriously. Hates taking the extra effort to complete tasks.

Level: 5
EXP: 0
HP: 60
Init: 0

Stats (30/30):
Strength: 0
Dexterity: 0
Intelligence: 12
Constitution: 6
Synergy: 12

Perks:
Reanimate (perk): Grants access to the action: "Reanimate The Dead"

Undying Servitude (perk): For every reanimation that perishes in Magna’s service, increase damage dealt by Magna by 2% (up to a cap of 20%) for the remainder of the battle.

Compendium of Lost Souls (perk): Magna’s experience has begun to culminate, and has manifested itself into a grimoire. The Compendium of Lost Souls stores the soul data of everything Magna’s reanimated, allowing her to revive anything within its contents. During battle, Magna can cast Reanimate the Dead to choose something from her compendium and revive it to fight for her.

The Compendium of Lost Souls also enables Magna to have one “boss/special-type” minion slot. This unit revives at [10% of original health + Magna’s SYN], and retains its stats and abilities (subject to limitations by GM). Because of the preparation required to summon a great soul, Magna cannot summon these boss-type units in the midst of battle, and must instead do it outside of battle. If the Boss/special-type unit perishes in battle, they cannot be re-summoned until two battles (including the current battle) have passed.

Minions revived through the Compendium of Lost Souls fall under the same restrictions as Reanimate the Dead (with the exception of aforementioned boss-type units). Vengeful Curse will also not apply to these minions.

Actions (18/18):

Reanimate The Dead (castable): When an enemy dies, Magna can reanimate it's corpse to fight for her. Corpses have the same stats and abilities as their living counterparts. Corpses cannot be reanimated a second time. After battle, health returns to the base summon amount. Magna's summons will move on the same turn as her, and will take their actions before Magna.
-Level 1: Reanimation cap of 2 with health of SYN.
-Level 2: Starting health increased to SYN + 2.
-Level 3: Reanimation cap raised to 3, with health of SYN + 4.
-Level 4: Starting health increased to SYN + 6.

Reap (castable): Magna recalls the soul of a reanimated, and restores health back to herself or her minion(s). Cannot be used on other party members.
-Level 1: Select and kill a reanimation, restoring [INT] + [50% of Reanimation’s health (rounded up] to either Magna or one of her other reanimations.
-Level 2: Reap can now heal two targets. The same target cannot be selected twice.

Vengeful Curse (passive): When an eligible enemy dies, automatically apply the Vengeful Curse debuff on the corpse. After two turns, Reanimate the Dead is autocast on the corpse (e.g. died on turn 1, revived on turn 3).
Enemies afflicted by Vengeful Curse cannot be revived through other means, and take no healing from external sources (other than Magna's Reap).
Enemies afflicted with Vengeful Curse cannot have the debuff applied a second time.

Death's Whisper (castable): Magna conjures a nightmare, causing any enemy attacks (except for AoE) to redirect to any of Magna's reanimations. This will fail if Magna does not have any reanimations (4 turn cooldown).
-Level 1: Unless Magna doesn't have any reanimations in battle, enemy units will target her reanimations instead for 2 turns.
-Level 2: While active, Magna's reanimations restore [Magna's INT/2] HP per turn.
-Level 3: Duration reduced to 3 turns.

Empower (castable, self-buff): Magna sacrifices a reanimation to empower her next Scythe Ability, granting it an additional effect. Empower does not cost an action, and can only be used once per turn.

Scythe Abilities:
Shadow Stride (castable): Magna blinks between the dimensions, striking three enemies for [Life Reaver's Damage]/2 each. 2 Turn Cooldown.
Empowered Shadow Stride: Damage adjusted to [Life Reaver's Damage]/2 + 0.5[Reanimation’s Remaining Health]. Shares a cooldown with Shadow Stride (same abillity).

Equipment:
Life Reaver: A viciously curved scythe, whose blade seems sharp enough to sever the soul from one's body. Deals 3d4 + INT damage.
-Base: Deals 1d4 + INT
-Craft Level: An additional blade is added at the opposing end of the scythe, allowing for an additional strike. Damage improved by 1d4.
-Craft Level: Careful maintenance of the blade allows for improved damage by 1d4.

Arcane Mantle: A traditional black mantle, infused with arcane magic to ward off attacks. Reduces incoming damage from bladed attacks by 3.
-Base: Reduces incoming damage from bladed attacks by 1.
-Craft Level: Magical enchantments are casted over the cloak, reducing incoming damage from bladed attacks by an additional 1.
-Craft Level: Treatment of the mantle’s leather causes it to toughen, reducing incoming damage from bladed attacks by an additional 1.

Skeleton Mask: A steel mask with a female wig attached to it. The wearer's entire head is obscured while wearing it, except for the eyes. Enchantments are placed to ward off against magical attacks. Spooks people. Sometimes herself.
-Base: Grants +3 damage against Undead enemies.

Tricks are for kids.

Unlearned Abilities:
Tether (Active): Magna tethers the soul of a reanimation to her scythe. When Magna is about to take damage, the tether activates and allows Magna to dodge the attack. 2 turn cooldown. Cooldown begins when Tether activates. Tether cannot be casted if there is already a Tether in place.

Empowered Tether: If an empowered tether is used, Magna will counterattack for [Life Reaver's Damage] before dodging the attack.

Inventory:
A rosary

@Murdoc

Alright, here are the changes I made (They can also be seen in the original post)

-Effect Suggestion: Blind - All offensive actions require a 50% check in addition to their preexisting checks to succeed.

-Supercharge has a two turn cooldown now.

-Takedown! nerfed, bold texts are new:

Halley jumps up high and slams the enemy with a flying kick. [sTR]+10% chance to prevent the enemy from taking an action for one turn. Fails to stun if [Target's CON]-1>=[Halley's STR] Capped at 20% chance. Damage Formula: 1d6+[sTR]

-Level 2: Damage increased by 1.

-Level 3: Raise the chance cap to 30%

-Deflection nerfed: "Reduce damage taken from ranged attacks by 1, excluding heat-based spell."

-Sparkling Strike now must have two targets at minimum. Damage Formula is changed to (Basic Attack Damage)/(Amount of Targets), and Level 3 changes it to (Basic Attack Damage)*2/(Amount of Targets)

-Nanometal Jumpsuit now has no Special Qualities, and only gives +1 RES against Magic and Energy based attacks. In addition, it loses its 10 DEX bonus.
-Comet Blaster's damage is now 1d4 + [sYN]

Edited November 11, 2016 by IntSys

Chevaleresse · November 11, 2016

alright, my notes now:

-Comet Blaster is now a bit weak. I'd say a d8 is probably okay.

-However, you can't have a SYN bonus that boosts your SYN (it can just boost damage inflicted, though). You also don't unlock stuff with DEX, hence that spot being specifically labeled with SYN. Same story with minimum stats; the only minimums gear can have are STR and SYN.

-Damage economy on Sparkling Strike still scales a bit too well. The initial levels are fine, but the third level is a bit too quick of an increase. Overall, AoE should hit for roughly 20-40% less than single target damage.

-Takedown looks okay. If you're boosting the damage you can change it to 1.5STR or something like that instead of boosting damage by 1.

Magna i've already gone over on Discord. She's accepted. Reviewing Bridgett now. . .

Equipment: Base RES is a bit high on the jacket; it's not really heavy enough to warrant starting at +4. Since it does scale with level, starting at +2 is appropriate.

Weapon looks OK.

Perks: Cartridge system looks fine. Flight needs a concrete mechanical effect; I'm thinking either damage reduction/dodge vs melee and/or a strong initiative boost.

Actions: You don't need to spend AP to get a ranged basic attack if your weapon does that already. Everything else looks fine, actually. I'll give you a complexity of (1 for ammo tracking+1 for cooldown tracking+1 for multiattacks) = 3 (fukken nice.)

Sachi Honda wa Yuusha de aru

Name: Sachi Honda
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Appearance:
Mundane: Sachi is of average height for a girl her age and nationality, standing at about 5'3''. Her build is lithe and thin, hiding the muscles that have developed as a result of years of fighting and carrying weight around during battle. Her eyes are a warm blue and her face seems to be plush and without edges, lending an innocent, childish appearance to her. Sachi's long, black hair is carefully combed, kept out of her face with a small brooch in the shape of a fringed pink Dianthus flower, purple gems comprising the petals. Sachi seems more cute than beautiful, though the emergence of the latter quality can be seen here and there, with shades of it in a look or in her prim and proper air. She looks the very image of a girl not quite a woman, but no longer a child either; this is aided by her usual attire, a plain white shirt under a navy-blue blazer, a black tie around her neck and a long black skirt covering jet-black stockings and polished leather shoes.

Hero: Her clothing is the most obvious change when she transforms. The base of the whole outfit is a white leotard with blue stripes running along the left and right sides, exposing her legs and arms. Her hips are once again covered by petal-like blue strips of cloth, reminiscent of the armored skirts of legionnaires, and from her knee downward, her legs are covered by white stockings into blue shoes with elevated heels, kept in place with a white band of leather. Her arms are protected by two white pauldrons with a blue cross embossed upon them on her shoulders, the left one of which extends down to her elbow and the right one protected by a shield. Her hands are protected by a pair of white metal gauntlets with a stylised Dianthus pattern across the backs of the hands; these gauntlets look out of place, as if they should belong to someone else. Across the middle of her back, a stylised pansy is embossed across her dress, which lights up as Sachi fights and is filled with power. Her hair is also kept in place by two white strips, crossing across it as it cascades down her back. Underneath the Dianthus brooch, a smaller pansy brooch forms, attached to it.

Personality: Sachi is a kind girl, rarely raising her voice and always trying to be as polite as she can. She comes off as open and gregarious, and lives up to the expectation, always trying to do her best to interact with her allies. Her willingness to befriend others and watch over them is almost motherly at times, a natural result of her upbringing. Her outward layer of silk, nevertheless, is backed by a sturdy steel shield; Sachi has a fierce determination to protect her friends at all costs, often marked by a change in disposition for the steelier within battle. Her sense of justice is similarly fiery, born of years of protecting mankind from the oncoming apocalypse. For the most part, Sachi is optimistic, always hoping for and pushing to the best result possible, and is difficult to discourage or turn away. However, beneath her kind nature and determination lies a well-hidden sadness, as if she had experienced an incomparable tragedy, and occasionally, the calm face that she puts up seems to feel as if it were fake, put on for the sake of appearances.

- Flower in Bloom: Sachi's Hero abilities allow her to stand against the Vertex as a bulwark, an immovable object to resist the endless tide of the oncoming apocalypse. For health calculations, Sachi's health is taken to be 1.3x her current level.

- Destined Hero: Sachi's potential as a Hero surpasses many of her comrades, and this potential manifests in sheer resilience. Status effects that hit Sachi have halved effects.

- Try Not To Give Up: Sachi refuses to give up, as per the tenets of the Hero Club, and will persevere through the toughest situations by all means. In battle she regains 10% HP at the end of each of her turns.

Special Qualities:

-Bound

- Escalating Power: This bauble grants Sachi Level/2 RES (2).

Actions:

Basic Attack: Forward Thrust: Sachi stabs forwards, dealing her weapon's damage.*

Basic Defense: Iron Defense: Sachi places her shield in front of her and braces herself, negating half of the incoming damage.

Heroic Challenge: Sachi targets an opponent and challenges them in battle to protect her allies. For that turn, Sachi draws that enemy's attention, and all single-target attacks from this enemy until their next turn will only hit Sachi. Sachi cannot Challenge an opponent consecutively, nor can she Challenge an opponent while she already has an opponent Challenged. Cannot be activated with Tower Stance activated.

- Level 2: Blunted Iron: The enemy deals 10% less damage until their next turn.

Tower Stance: Sachi targets an ally and protects them from attack. Until deactivation, the protected ally and Sachi take half of all incoming damage to the protected ally before damage calculations. If Sachi is stunned, Tower Stance automatically deactivates. Sachi cannot apply Tower Stance to an ally consecutively; she must wait one turn before applying it on an ally who has had it on them or apply it to more than one ally. Cannot be activated with Heroic Challenge or Bear Your Burden; if Sachi leaps to a Marked ally, Tower Stance deactivates.

- Level 2: Fortress Stance: Sachi can apply Tower Stance's effects to two allies.

- Level 3: Three allies can be protected under Tower Stance.

Stand United: Allies that have benefitted from Sachi’s eligible Actions (Bear Your Burden or Tower Stance) deal 10% additional damage on their next attack after Sachi supports them, as does Sachi. Sachi and her allies may activate this once per turn, once per ally. The bonus wears off during their next turn if unused. Passive.

- Level 2: 20% additional damage.

Bonds of Friendship: Sachi can share her power with her allies, aiding them by weakening an enemy. All enemies Sachi attacks with eligible attacks (marked with an asterix) gain a Bonds debuff. If an ally hits an opponent so debuffed, they regain 10% of total damage dealt, capped at 10% of Sachi's health. Three subsequent attacks by allies will consume the debuff; multi-hit attacks count as one attack. An enemy cannot be marked with Bonds for one turn after the debuff has been triggered. Allies cannot trigger Bonds more than once per turn. Passive.

- Level 2: Encouraging Shout: Sachi's Heroic Challenge applies Bonds.

- Level 3: Unity in Friendship: Enemies who hit allies with Tower Stance upon them are marked with Bonds .

Bear Your Burden: Sachi braces herself to take an attack for an ally, marking them. The next time a Marked ally is attacked until Sachi’s next turn, Sachi takes the attack’s damage instead. Until her next turn, Sachi has Iron Defense activated. Sachi cannot Mark an ally consecutively or if they have Tower Stance on them; a Bear Your Burden activation deactivates Tower Stance. She can only block the first hit of a multi-hit attack.

Inventory:

-Smartphone: A smartphone with the Hero transformation program on it. Used by Sachi to transform into her Hero form.

Sutoratosu · November 11, 2016

Name: Aurora
Age: ???
Gender: Female
Race: Arachni
Sex: Female
Appearance: Long, Platinum Blonde locks cascade around a heart shaped face with a button nose, high cheeks, and eyes like twin pools of deep, reflective silver that despite the glittering hint of some intelligence within, are more oft than not fixed with a hollow, thousand-yard stare. Even with as pretty features as hers though, it's rather easy to recall her true predatory nature at the sight of the pearly white fangs filling her mouth. Segments of exoskeleton cover the curves of her human half, forming glossy, dark natural armor around her arms, shoulders back, and the ribs. A pair of Silken robes drape from her shoulders and down to just past the transition from human hip to spider abdomen and affixed with a silver brooch on the shoulder. Their sleeves and collar alike look noticeably wide hanging off her slight frame.
On Her Arachnid half meanwhile blossoms thousands of vibrant pinpricks of varying colors, soft hues in varying intensity and every shade there is set on a field of black, their motley arrangements resembling a primordial star field from some night sky long ago.
Her eight legs each terminate in sharp, precise points with serrated ridges, capable of potentially impal-ing or slicing anything unfortunate enough to be caught literally underfoot.
in terms of size she is no bigger than a mere Adolescent of her species; All of which due most impart to both to her nature as a runt and the constant starvation she once endured day in and day out.
Personality:
Quiet to the point of being near mute, mind constantly wandering through subjects the likes of which, only she knows of, and yet at the same time to time, oddly calculated in her decisions, at least when it comes to matters of sustenance or well-being. In truth, Aurora recalls nearly nothing about who she once was, and just as little about what sentiment she might’ve held the travelling companions that up until very recently, had been towing her around from place to place.
Nothing, aside from the simple fact that like a predator, she had to kill and eat to survive… the issue being she recalls not even what precisely she once ate to fulfill this basic need. Having forgotten the patterns and habits of her old prey, or even what they looked or smelled like, her former pride as a huntress has faded into virtual nonexistence, and often, she acts as opportunistic as possible just to get by. If it is dead or nearly dead, it does not matter what it is, Aurora will 9 times out of 10 attempt to consume it. And if it still lives and is hearty, she’ll still try to take it down if it looks like it will be an easy kill.
With her scavenger nature, however, comes an innate curiosity towards other beings, especially those like the ones who once accompanied her, even if for no other reason than to determine if they’d make a decent meal for the energy expended, or at the very least give her something to eat. But even with her intrigue, seldom will she reveal herself, and far more seldom will she speak in what short, fragmented words she can manage, unless she decides the answer to either of the above question is a resounding yes… More oft than not, in fact, she’ll only stand there, and observe from afar… or well, in some cases, far closer than the other party would probably like to think…hidden right in plain sight.

...I should mention that you're not actually being brought back from the dead. To quote myself: It's literally "you fall into a plot-shaped portal and end up where the multiverse wanted you"

aurora notes:

already went over most of the equipment and perks on Discord. Spydric Sweep can have some kind of additional effect because it's quite weak right now. You can probably make her venom an addition to a basic attack as well, or some approximation thereof. Complexity 5 (damage type tracking+regen tracking+cooldown tracking+DoT tracking+base from damage rolls)

bridgett: Valkyrie Breaker probably wants to scale off of SYN a bit. Advise dropping one die and adding SYN to the damage, but this isn't required. It's also worth noting that this system doesn't track position particularly firmly. Good to go otherwise, I'll say (ammo tracking+multiattacks+cooldowns+dodge+specific damage type tracking) 6 complexity.

Sutoratosu · November 11, 2016

...I should mention that you're not actually being brought back from the dead. To quote myself: It's literally "you fall into a plot-shaped portal and end up where the multiverse wanted you"

Well the intent wasn't for her to be resurrected or anything, just left very near dead and managed to recover with some... consequences to her personality and mental acuity.

I mean, I can go back and edit the relevant mentions to be more clear if the potential implications messes with plot or anything, but... yeah, never intended a resurection. In heartless souls, the Arachni were simply resilient as hell, and their healing factor was great enough that given enough time and the safety in which to do so, they could recover from even severe head trauma if the brain stem was still intact...

but at the cost of coming out of it as basically an entirely different individual thanks to the majority of their memories being destroyed and impossible to ever recover.

but again, if It's an issue, I can always just tweak the wording abit if you want.

Twinwolf · November 11, 2016

Hoi thar

another person from the other forum the OP frequents

Going to make a character soon-ish.

-----------------------------------------------

Hikari Takino

Name: Hikari Takino

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Sex: Female

Appearance:

-Casual: Hikari doesn't look overly... unique, in her normal outfit. She doesn't stand out much. She's short, at around five feet. She has black hair down a bit past her shoulders and brown eyes, which seem a bit big behind her glasses. Her features are pretty plain, at that; she doesn't look like she puts much effort into her appearance. She tends towards comfortable clothes over fashionable ones, with her standard casual outfit being a hoodie over a t-shirt, a skirt, and sneakers, with little variation beyond colors.

-Idol: Hikari, when in this alternate persona, actually does stand out in a crowd - if not for the effort she puts into her appearance when going out to do her job, then just for her. Her hair is tied in a ponytail, over her shoulder, and she's wearing contacts instead of glasses. She's also actually trying to look good, although the makeup isn't overly obvious. She wears a variety of clothes, rarely the same outfit twice in the same month, although they all seem to work on her (being an idol tends to at least imply a fashion sense).

Ivory: This Mirage takes the appearance of an armored woman, the upper part of her face hidden behind a mask that would appear to be to keep the wind from harming one's eyes if it weren't opaque. She seems to be rather muscular, for a woman, but that may be the armor. She has white hair. She's also rather tall, at around six foot four inches.

Carnage Form: In this form of combined energies, which is the primary form for combat, Hikari's appearance changes. Her hair for one gains white highlights, of a shade similar to Ivory's. She's taller too, around 5'7". Her outfit changes, becoming bright green armor and a open-face helmet. Ivory has become a dragon-themed halberd, with a somewhat scaly texture. She has a sort of mechanical wyvern, with jets in place of the hind legs.

Personality:

Casual: Hikari is a bit on the shy side, although still polite and friendly. She doesn't have much confidence in herself, and is usually quiet in voicing her opinions.

Idol: Hikari becomes much more outgoing in this persona, in addition to the friendliness (although losing an amount of politeness) and seeming much more self-confident. She hasn’t actually changed at all, but putting on the act she’s so used too is oddly freeing.

Ivory: Ivory is a relaxed individual... mirage... whatever, most times. She's pretty quiet unless she has a strong opinion on a matter. In battle, she's all-business.

Level: 6

HP: 102

Init: +11

Stats: 34/34

Constitution: 12

Dexterity: 11

Intelligence: 2

Strength: 9

Synergy: 0

Perks:

Self-Repair Systems:

As a Defense-Type android, 6D will be taking some hits even if she manages to deflect the worst of it. As such, she has built-in self repair systems to do this. 6D heals 10% hp each round.

Lightning Speed:

Even as a defense focused android, YorHa units such as 6D are fast by nature, and mobility is a major part of combat doctrine. Every third turn, 6D may take an additional action.

Combat Preparation:

If one thing leads to more casualties than anything else, it is going into combat unprepared; 6D is not unprepared. At the beginning of combat, 6D may apply two buffs to herself before taking action.

Confrontation Protocol:

As long as a Defense-type android stands, they will stand between the enemy and their allies. Grants the action Confrontation Protocol.

Flaws:

Glory To Mankind: 6D cannot attack or debuff human foes. She can still defend herself and others against their attacks, but not directly harm them.

Voracious Greed: If there is an enemy at 50% or lower HP, any actions that 6D takes that do not involve dealing damage to that enemy inflicts\ [Level] damage on herself. If there are multiple enemies at 50% HP or lower, it only needs to hit one to qualify.

Actions: (14/20 AP)

6D

Spoiler

Name: 6D (YorHa N.6 Type D)

Age: Who knows?

Gender/Sex: Female

Race: Android (Retrofitted Defense Type)

Appearance: 6D appears to be a human woman of about 5’6”, with long white hair tied back into a loose ponytail. She wears pretty much entirely black, primarily her YorHa uniform that appears to be a black, gothic dress, as well as what seems to be a blindfold. There is always a strange, floating box robot with arms floating within a couple of meters of her. A pair of weapons float off her back, bound by rings of light.

Personality: Androids are not allowed to display emotions. That said… 6D is not good at following this directive, especially due to the influence of the Operator she had been partnered with, and independent operations. She generally has an upbeat and positive personality, happy to help allies and fiercely protective of them even at harm to herself.

Level: 5

HP: 85

Init: +9

Stats: 30/30

Constitution: 11

Dexterity: 9

Intelligence: 2

Strength: 8

Synergy: 0

Perks:

Self-Repair Systems:

As a Defense-Type android, 6D will be taking some hits even if she manages to deflect the worst of it. As such, she has built-in self repair systems to do this. 6D heals 10% hp each round.

Lightning Speed:

Even as a defense focused android, YorHa units such as 6D are fast by nature, and mobility is a major part of combat doctrine. Every third turn, 6D may take an additional action.

Combat Preparation:

If one thing leads to more casualties than anything else, it is going into combat unprepared; 6D is not unprepared. At the beginning of combat, 6D may apply two buffs to herself before taking action.

Confrontation Protocol:

As long as a Defense-type android stands, they will stand between the enemy and their allies. Grants the action Confrontation Protocol.

Flaw:

Glory To Mankind: 6D cannot attack or debuff human foes. She can still defend herself and others against their attacks, but not directly harm them.
