Tsujimoto Masashige - Regimental Samurai

[Sado Ikaru]

Real World:
Name: Tsujimoto Masashige (辻本正成)
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Masashige:

Personality: Not one to seek attention, Masashige is usually not in the foreground. As such, he tends to disappear from people's minds once he's gone. His sense of honor prevents him from initiating fights. He will protect those whom he has deemed friends. He makes a good leader if placed in the position, but he will try to put it on someone else at first. If something happens that Masashige does not like, he tends to ignore it or push it to the back of his mind. Eventually, it will sit there long enough and he’ll forget it ever happened.

History:

Points of Distinction: Masashige is always wearing his trench coat. At his school in Kōtō (he is in his Second Year at Tokushima Kenritsu Jōtō Kōtō Gakkō - Tokushima Prefectural Jōtō High School), the faculty have given up on getting him to wear his school jacket. During the summer, his trench coat's sleeves zip right off.

Regimental Samurai:

Explanation: Masashige wishes to use kendo to win back his dojo. His bluish-purple color is from actively practicing, but not really doing anything directly. His «Rift Edge» ability stems from his proficiency in his father's Iaido-style Kendo.
Parent: Ebony Crusader
Stats:

• STR: 80 (B+)
  • DIR: 50 (B)
  • AMR: 30 (C)

• DEF: 50 (B)
• B&W: 10 (E) (SPL→DIR)

Abilities and Armaments:
Ability Name: Rift Edge
Type:Killer Move
Cost: 30%
Effect: 5 meter range. Deals 1.2x damage.
Description: Regimental Samurai sheathes his sword and quick-draws it to create a Dimensional Rift. «Rift Edge» can be used up to 3 times consecutively (each use is a separate activation). To most, the quick-draw won’t be noticeable and will look like nothing more than the Rift appearing in front of him. (OOC knowledge: Looks like Virgil's Judgement Slice from DMC3).
Weaknesses: Opponents with a Speed higher than Regimental Samurai will be able to dodge it.

Name: Regimental Katana
Description: A typical Japanese-style katana. "The katana is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, slender, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard and long grip to accommodate two hands. It has historically been associated with the samurai of feudal Japan and has become renowned for its sharpness and strength." (Katana Wiki)

Overall a very good app only problem I see with it is that metal colors are created by repressing the trauma that creates your DA not just repressing any trauma from my understanding of it.

Edit: Bunt and Dranes have pointed out to me that your killer move and secondary move are stronger than typically seen in level ones so those should be nerfed too, find someone with more knowledge on the subject to discuss that with though because I'm bad at balancing moves.

[Sado Ikaru]

Edited. I reduced the damage for both Abilities and changed my color to Regimental (Persian Blue).

[Nakara]

We changed the system so secondary moves have been removed and you only get 8k points of stats now. Also looking at the damage tables as it is now your KM is a OHKO against everyone which is way too strong for a level 1.

[Sado Ikaru]

Okay. I deleted «Hyper Combo» and made «Rift Edge» my KM.

I'm going to talk to Mi-nyan about the «Armament» from my old inventory. I'll finalize my stats once I hear back from her.

Overall, there's nothing wrong with the char app, however, wanting power doesn't always mean he has to become Samurai. To make this happen, you should at least specify the wish more, or explain his opinions about Samurai so it looks strong. Also, Rift Edge doesn't seem to fit with the Samurai theme, since it seems to focus more on his ability to create Energy Rifts. Also, if you says that the reason he becomes a Samurai is because he has an some expertise in Kendo, Rift Edge wouldn't fit, since it depends on quick draw and seems to lean to Battojutsu and Iaido instead

Okay:

• Overall, there's nothing wrong with the char app, however, wanting power doesn't always mean he has to become Samurai. To make this happen, you should at least specify the wish more, or explain his opinions about Samurai so it looks strong.
  I was thinking that his wish to use Kendo to win back his dojo would procure a Samurai (or Samurai-like) avatar.

  It's more of a dimensional rift than an energy rift. Should I specify that?
  
• Also, if you says that the reason he becomes a Samurai is because he has an some expertise in Kendo, Rift Edge wouldn't fit, since it depends on quick draw and seems to lean to Battojutsu and Iaido instead.
  I stated that his father's style in kendo leans towards Iaido now. Would this be enough?

I think this is OK. Change your app and I will check the details then I'll approve it if I see it fits

[Sado Ikaru]

Edited.

[Sado Ikaru]

Bump.

[Nakara]

Approved

[Sado Ikaru]

Cool. Anyone else?

[Neko Miale]

Approved.

After clarifying the new system with Tusjecht, I have finished redistributing my stats.

[Kuro]

I'm not a mod, admin, or staff of any kind, but something seems off about your stats when comparing to the new system. You don't have any points specified for B&W, but your stats don't fit in with either the blue or purple requirements. (wasn't sure if you were going for blue or purple as the main color with that description)

To fit under blue's specified guideline, you'd need to bring AGI down so it's under AMR's rating. AMR might also have to get a few more points to bring it above SPL. I'm not sure if the system saying that AMR must be the second highest is a clear distinction or if it can be tied with other stats.

To fit purple's guidelines, you'd need to balance DIR and SPL

Again, I'm not a staff member, so I have no real say in this. Just saying what's on my mind.

[Sado Ikaru]

Since "Regimental" is a Bluish-Purple, he'll more closely follow Purple's guidelines. Tusjecht said that 50-70 points in AGI would be fine for my character, but no higher than 70. As for the B&W, I didn't really understand it. I edited the stats a bit, but it should fit now.

[Nakara]

Approved.
