Auburn Drake

Appearance: Auburn Drake's appearance can only be described in one way... Dragon-like. In his initial form, Drake resembles a knight in dark red armor, but this armor has unique shape and form, involving many horn-like projections and an armor plate pattern that reminds the viewer almost of scales. Some of the biggest indicators, though, are the talon-like toes of the Duel Avatar's feet, as well as the fully-posable "tail" that actually extends from Drake's upper back between his shoulder blades. Every corner, angle, and appendage seems to end in a sharp point. On his knees, chest, elbows and the backs of his hands, there are pieces that resemble emeralds.

-Name: <<Berserk Fury>>

-Cost: 5% per post

-Description: Auburn Drake's body transforms, taking on an almost reptilian form, almost resembling a dinosaur. His hands and feet grow long, sharp talons. His neck elongates as well as his head, and his mouth splits open, revealing a row of razor-sharp teeth. Drake's tail grows thicker and elongates. In short, Drake's formerly knight-like body transforms into that of what appears to be a dinosaur, or rather... a dragon.

-Effect: Auburn Drake's body grows by 500% and transforms gaining natural weapons of teeth and claws. He also gains +200 to Melee and Speed

-Weakness: His larger size makes for a larger and easier-to-find target.

Spoiler:

-Name: <<Auburn Wrath>>

-Cost: 20%

-Description: While Auburn Drake is in his Berserk form, he opens his mouth. A powerful laser blast fires off from inside. If the laser grazes an object, it can melt most substances.

-Effect: The laser blast fires out in a 20 degree cone and has a range of 100 meters.

-Weakness: Sacrifices range for breadth.

Well the DA is coming along. Still struggling on the trauma and all that. Any suggestions?

[R4yleonard]

Well, a Drake or a dragon symbolize power, terror and fear (in Europe) or wisdom (in China). I don't have any idea how a red avatar (Running away from trauma) mix with the dragon theme

[Sado Ikaru]

I have no suggestions on the history, but I do have a couple notes on the Avatar itself. A 200-point boost will do next to nothing for «Auburn Drake». Also: bear in mind that Red Avatars typically have High Range, Dexterity, and Speed, but Low Melee and Defense.

*sees Ray posted first.*

That, too.

[Crimson Drake]

Well, bear in mind that this is a specialized red, thus the dark red "Auburn" color, denoting a mix of black (I know, Auburn is darker red than what is shown in the picture, but the pic is just so perfect). The DA is made to resemble <<Blood Leopard>> in type. I did try to keep speed and dexterity relatively high, but lets not forget, Scarlet Rain, the "Immobile Fortress", didn't really possess much speed or dexterity.

[Nakara]

Should be noted that it doesn't have to be drake themed the DA could also just do something that drakes do. As Charles said though your stats don't really match how red(Quick, light weight, usually ranged fighters) DA's are made also you should(not required but it is just a better build) keep your stats in multiples of 400 where ranks are split(Stats explanation here http://www.accelworldrp.com/t1405-stat-and-fighting-system). Anyways generally speaking we don't like having DA with different color affinities like this because we have little real information on them and what we do have is just conjecture. If you still want to do it I won't stop you but be aware that it will be judged much harsher than most character apps are.

Anyways I'll hold off on giving advice on your trauma until I hear whether you want to stick with this concept or not. Also if you just want to use that picture I would be willing to recolor it to blue for you if you want.

[Guest]

the reason Scarlet Rain doesn't move isn't because she can't, it just that she doesn't need to. In fact she can use her mind power to zip around.

your main problem Drake is that you found yourself an awesome picture but yet the theme of the picture, red dragon/dino armored warrior, makes it interesting to try and work into Accel World.

The only thing I can really think of is that you wanted to be a warrior, you wanted to be that one person that someone would make a legend out of but then something happens and it wounds your heart making you afraid to try and rise up to become that legend.

oh and for some reason your main picture is a similar picture (in fact I think it's the same character) to another character that was once on this site, and he tried to be a red melee fighter too and it got tossed out.

If this was a generic RP without any real restrictions from canon. Your picture would make an awesome warrior type.

[Dranes]

Just a note, Drake was already used in canon: Magnesium Drake. His ability was Flame Sigh, fire breath basically, though Tus said suggestions are not the best of things to do in this case I have to suggest a change of name.

Mostly in the case that we haven't seen two avatars with the same name except for one case, in this case both avatars with the name Blade held the exact same ability. Something to take note of. (Then again, to even have the same name, I suspect very similar traumas are needed to begin with.)

[Crimson Drake]

Some very good advice! Thank you everyone. I'm considering everything, but perhaps the best course of action would be to change from Red to Blue (though I like red better than Blue  ) so if Nakara's offer to change the color is still available and wouldn't be too much trouble, I might be interested in doing that.

On that note, if I did change to Blue, would I still be able to keep the Killer Move? Some Blues have been shown to have some ranged ability, like Cyan Pile's <<Splash Stinger>> and <<Lightening Cyan Spike>>. Also, I was planning to purchase an Enhanced Armament later on which would have some ranged ability. If I went to blue would I still be able to do so? I'm not sure how strictly EAs are tied into color?

As far as the name goes, I didn't think that was much of an issue... But I suppose I don't really know. Is this a canon RP or a non-canon? In other words does this RP take place in the same exact world as canon where we might run in to Silver Crow or Black Lotus at any time? Or does it take place in an alternate setting, such as the future where the canon characters are no longer around, or an alternate reality where the canon characters don't actually exist? The answer to that question would determine whether my having the <<Drake>> name is an issue or not.

[Dranes]

That's not some blues, that's the only blue with abilities like that due to a contradiction of desire and fear. All blues normally only have melee-based abilities. Honestly, Cyan Pile is the laughing stock of the blue community it's even been said due to his pseudo-ranged stuff. The butt of jokes if you will.

And EAs are just like abilities, they are from the wound caused by the trauma (See Cyan Pile's Piledriver), you get it from the trauma and the only other way to gain them is level up bonuses or drops from Enemies (there are probably also shops that sell them but don't expect anything great).

And no, it's not due to it being in-canon universe but it's due to the rules that same names would give same abilities. Hell, I'd even go as far as to say, you need the same/similiar trauma to even net the same name as well.

Edit:

Also for the balance team, opinions on the laser? It's a 100 range, 20 meter breadth laser that melts most substances (which I would take means DAs as it's not specified) so it's not controlled by a single stat and it costs 20% KG. Just saying to look into stuff.

Also how big roughly is he 500% increased in size?

[Crimson Drake]

Manganese and Cobalt Blades have also been shown to have slashing attacks with a bit of range.

But, then maybe the answer is to go somewhere in between Red and Blue, somewhere in the Purple region. Make it dark to throw in some Black specialization.

The colors are not limitations. Virtually anything is possible when it comes to Duel Avatars. All you have to do is figure out where it falls on the color wheel.

I realize that starting EAs match the trauma just like abilities, but there is a way to spend burst points on new items in AW. We saw Ash Roller add wall climb abilities and anti-aircraft missiles to his bike. KYH clearly states that there is a BP shop somewhere in AW, but she won't take Haru there because she says he'll spend all his points buying up all the stuff he finds cool.

If this isn't the same world as canon, then I don't see the issue. There is no other character named <<Drake>> in this universe. The first, colored name shows the DA's ability type. The second name is just a designation that bears some similarity to the DA's style. I haven't read or heard anything from canon to suggest otherwise. So if there isn't any other <<Drake>> DA in this world, then why can the name not work perfectly well for my dragon-like DA? I guess what I am saying is, the first name is almost always unique to the avatar and assigned based on the color system, but the second name is unique to the avatar and simply serves as a descriptive designation. So, if there is not yet an avatar with said designation in this world, why then can the name not be assigned to my avatar since it fits? There is a system in place that states that the color Auburn or any other color must come along with abilities that match a certain criteria, but I am unaware of any system in place that states that the name <<Drake>> must come along with abilities that match a certain criteria.


Edit: For the laser, I can rework it however is necessary. This is my first time constructing a character on the site, so I wasn't entirely sure how to put together a laser.

As for size, lets say he's about 6 ft, 180 lbs in his normal form, so I'd say... About 12 ft tall, 20 ft long and about 600-700 lbs in his Drake form. That's about what I had in mind.

[Dranes]

Lets see, where to begin.

Slightly longer blades are still melee weapons.

Purple would make more sense but he'd never be at the same level as either specialist character that is to say Red or a Blue avatar. Yes they are limitations to a point, there are screw balls in the system as well but even so they still fall under the restrictions of the colours, case in point that Taku even if he has a ranged weapon because of a desire that relates to piercing through necks (By the way, this thing's range is only 5 meters), it's a weapon unsuitable to a blue. The entire aspect of his avatar is a physical fighter, not someone that pokes from range, an ill fit. Blood Leopard, without her transformation ability is a poor fighter in melee combat because she still has the more petiful statistics of a red. There are weirdos (two of them really and even then they are still restricted by their color due to how their avatars are without their unique abilities)

Yes, Ash Roller used his level up bonuses to get abilities, that's sort of how characters advance in Brain Burst. The BP shop is for stuff like cheap weaponry, housing, Brain Burst alchohol, not new abilities or ability upgrades. You have to remember there was a time skip, Ash Roller levelled up as well and he used his level up bonuses and put them in his bike as to why he has abilities related to his bike.

And this last point...Okay.

Color: Determines specialization/style of fighting in combat, in the sense the avatar body is designed for this type of combat.
Name: Refers to the main gimmick of the avatar. Not simply a description but as important as the first as it is a nod to what makes the avatar unique. Pile is for the Piledriver, Crow is for Aviation, Bell is for her EA. There aren't multiples of these (and in the case that there was, they both have the same extremely sharp blades) because these names are as unique as the colors.

Again only thing I can come to with the same name: Cobalt Blade and Manganese Blade, which both have the same name and in turn the same ability and other than those two there have been -no- avatars with the same last name. To be exact, both color and name are unique to the avatar. Now for the system itself, so what you're saying is, there is a canon avatar with the name and an ability for that name but because he doesn't exist in this world which has the -EXACT- same system in place which means it would read traumas and desire the same way as it would in canon, this name would now come with something different?

Okay...if I had an in-canon example of two same-name avatars having completely different abilities I'd understand but there really isn't.

But I digress, if the approval team is happy with the logic then everything will work out I would guess.

[Crimson Drake]

What I was actually referring to was During the Kings meeting at the beginning of Sacred Fire Shrine Maiden where Cobalt and Manganese throw what seem to be sharp shockwaves to cut down pillars to provide places for the kings to sit.

It seems to me that there are ways for Linkers to gain EAs other than just level advancements. It is stated that when a Linker is defeated, the winner sometimes gets to keep the EA of the defeated DA, such as when Black Lotus defeated Sulfur Pot and took his Mystical Reigns. I was under the impression that Linkers could save up BP and purchase EAs, but I suppose I don't actually have any examples to back up my idea there. (still, I think it would be a great idea to have something like that in an AW RP)

I can try and find a different name I guess. But the "double name" thing doesn't really seem relevant to me. If there is no <<Drake>> in existence in this world, then what is the issue with re-assigning the name? It seems to me that keeping the second name/ability relationship does nothing for the RP other than further limiting the names that are available for use. What if a character was made with some sort of plant-related abilities and wanted to be called <<Something Lotus>>? Doesn't seem to me like there would be any harm in it, especially since the name <<Lotus>> doesn't really seem to have anything to do with blades in the first place...

[Dranes]

Already said, there are shops. Don't expect anything good.

You would be surprised how fitting Lotus is. Allow me to direct you to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detachment_(philosophy)

It's not as direct as others but as it's set in Asia, a Lotus basically rises above others with no attachments. This is the same way as the bladed body of Black Lotus who none can get close to nor want to be reached. (see how the bladed hands means that she cannot hold another's hands for more symbolism)

It's the connotations of what a Lotus represents. (par the fact that I guess her little dress part is similar to a lotus apparently in some people's views.)

[R4yleonard]

Since this has sparks some debate, I'll give my verdict after this Char App has been completed

[Destination]

Regarding the points raised, I'd like to address a few things:

Manganese and Cobalt Blade are level 7 and lieutenants of Leonidz, no less. It would be surprising if they hadn't developed an anti-purple/red technique to fight at range, and said technique wasn't an original skill from their DAs but practiced and honed in the UNF. From that same chapter, Raker called it a 'parlour trick' so it probably is just a gimmick.

Yes, EAs can be purchased from shops <_< although you should only expect low- to mid-tier equipment, because as per most MMOs, BB has most of the goodies and god-tier equipment hidden in dungeons or as drops from Legendary Enemies. A shop won't be selling them anytime soon.

[Nakara]

I can change the color any time just PM me the color you want it changed to some time and I'll do it since it only takes a few minutes to do.
