[Sado Ikaru]

Part One
The Controller

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

+ Name:  Sado Ikaru
+ Nickname: Chad
+ Height: 170 cm
+ Weight: 60KG
+ Gender: Male
+ Age: 16

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

+ Face claim: Takeda Ikki
+ Appearance Description: slightly athletic appearance, olive skin
+ Physical Traits: Athletic,
+ Clothing: Student Uniform - Blue, Collared, Button-up shirt
+ Accessories: Neurolinker, hand wraps

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

+ History: Sado Ikaru was born in Tokyo. Tsujimoto had the hospital in Tokyo "install" the NeuroLinker because he wanted to be a part of Ikaru's childhood wherever they ended up. But shortly after he was born, his dad got a job in Okinawa. So that he could still spend some time with his newborn son, he moved all three of them to Okinawa. After the move, Ikaru fell ill. It was discovered that he had asthma. The difference in climate between Tokyo and Okinawa apparently had an adverse effect on the newborn's lungs. The said that Ikaru would never be able to play sports or do any other strenuous activity

When Ikaru was nine, a gang tried to mug the family on the way home from the store. The gang ended up beating his mother to death and leaving Tsujimoto and Ikaru in critical condition. The two eventually recovered, but Tsujimoto had been gone from his job for too long. After searching desperately for a new job, Tsujimoto settled for a low-paying janitor's position. Just enough to pay the bills and feed the two.

At 13, Ikaru began to take in interest in boxing on TV. He found a gym in the area, but couldn't afford the membership. He offered to clean the gym after it closed in exchange. The gym manager reluctantly accepted after hearing Ikaru's reason for taking up boxing. "I want to learn how to defend myself and others. I don't want to see anyone else die in front of me."

After a few months, Ikaru's stamina began to increase and the asthma attacks grew fewer and further between. By the time he hit 16, he had almost outgrown/out-trained his asthma. When a new member a little older than Ikaru joined, she somehow found out about his reason. She stayed late one day to help him out. They struck up a conversation that somehow led to them sharing their traumas. Contented, she offered him a chance to get past his fears and achieve his desires. Intrigued, he agreed to Direct Link and received Brain Burst.

That night, Ikaru had the worst nightmare he had ever had. He and his parents were on their way home from the stor. He was reliving the attack that killed his mother. It seemed like the nightmare was 1,000 times worse that the actual attack had been, but Ikaru barely knew the difference. "No… please… I don't want to see anyone else die… Let me protect them…"

"Is that your desire?"

+ Personality: Due to his asthma, Ikaru never stood out in sports, so he tended to slink into the shadows when confronted. Since he toughened up and increased his stamina, he refuses to back down from a challenge, even a dangerous one. If he sees someone being bullied, his body seems to act on its own to intervene. He hates being a leader and will push the role onto others, even incompetent leaders - so long as he doesn't have to be the one to make the decisions.

Part Two
The Duel Avatar

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

+ Name: Atoll Boxer
+ Height: 185 cm
+ Gender: Male
+ Parent: Shirahama Ichiko / Shady Stiletto

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

+ Appearance Claim:
Burning Knuckler Big Bandage

+ Appearance Description: At 185 cm, Atoll Boxer is an imposing 6 feet with strong, broad shoulders. He has what appears to be bandages around the upper part of his torso, around his hands and forearms, and around his legs. He wears boxing boots and tight shorts that are slightly darker than himself. His facemask covers the lower part of his face while the top of his head is protected by a sparring helmet.

+ Physical Traits: Atoll Boxer brings out the athleticism in Ikaru since he's not hindered by his physical body.

+ Role-play Sample:
Yawn... I'm glad to say that I'm just about done for the night. I thought it was weird that this new girl offered to help me, though. I worked harder today than normal for some reason and my body definitely wanted me to know. I didn't want the help at first. It's my job, after all. After a few minutes, though, I had reluctantly accepted her help. While we were working, the girl introduced herself as Shirahama Ichiko. Sounded kinda nice.

Not sure why, but she started to ask me some questions. The questions were mostly harmless, but I answered the more personal ones with a sarcastic smirk. Apparently, she had a worse childhood than I did. She didn't want to tell me any details, but she was basically a child actress or something at one point.

We continued our conversation, passing the time. We didn't even realize that we had already finished. The gym had showers, so I excused myself. I was still sweaty from my workout. It didn't take me long, but she had already showered and changed as I was coming out of the locker room. Huh. Always heard that girls took forever to clean up. Oh, well. As I was locking up, she threw me a curveball. "So... I was thinking. I think I might have a way for you to get past your fears. There's a catch, though." She starts to pull out a 1-meter Link Cable. "I can only send it through a cable."

"A program? That sounds fishy..."

"But, -"

"But, what the hell. If it's as good as you say it is, then I suppose I can give it shot. It won't cost any money, right?"

She giggled before linking us. "No, as far as currency goes, the program provides its own." She does a few swipes with her fingers and sends me what I assumed was going to be a Psychology Program. I was surprised when a message popped up.

"Do you accept BB2039?"

"Huh? BB2039? I've never heard of this program before. Is it new?"

"Not really. It's been out since 2039."

"That old? And this is supposed to help me get over my fears? To help me be able to protect those around me?"

"If it loads up, yes. It doesn't always work, so I've heard."

"I guess if there's a slim chance, why not, right?" I click the button marked "Yes." Suddenly, the message shoots upwards and turns into a Thumbnail. It was an angular "B" enveloped in flames. Everything around us suddenly seemed like it had combusted. All the flames began to concentrate and converge into the middle of my sight. The flames transformed into a rusty metal sign that said "Brain Burst." Connected to the sign by a pair of chains was an installation bar. "Wha-"

"Don't worry. The fire is normal. I'll explain more if it installs correctly." Her statement calmed me a bit, but it still didn't tell me anything. I stood in silence while the bar filled up.

"Welcome to the Accelerated World." appeared in front of me. It was the same font as the "B" from the thumbnail.

"Accelerated... World...? What is this?"

"So it installed completely? That's good. Now, quickly. Disconnect from the Global Network." I was confused, but I followed her instructions.

Abilities and/or Armaments

+ Name: Slip
+ Type:
+ Cost: 5%
+ Description: Atoll Boxer crouches slightly, slipping under an opponent's attack. This allows Atoll Boxer to counter more easily. Relies heavily on his Dodge and Athletics, so it's not always successful, especially against Agile or Dexterous opponents. When used, Boxer's Dodge is increased by 25% of his Athlethics Skill for 1 posting round.

+ Name: Illusionary Left
+ Type: Killer Move
+ Cost: 30%
+ Description: Atoll Boxer launches a left straight that is nearly imperceptible to similarly-leveled Avatars. Avatars with higher Observation will be able to Dodge more easily. When used, opponents with 50 Observation or more get +15 to their Block/Dodge for this Move. Otherwise, Boxer gets +10 to his M. Attack.

[Sado Ikaru]

Done. I think.

[Neko Miale]

I would like if you could put some stats to your moves so make them easier to scale.
Imo, it makes it kind of complicated for when your going to fight someone else and that both will not have the same idea of how good or bad the move is in given situations

[Sado Ikaru]

I was just thinking about that myself. I believe I've added adequate stats.

[Neko Miale]

I don't like the percentages used but I like the idea for using special effects in your move, Personally i'd recommend something like:
a simple flat boost to dodge

A move that gives the opponent a minus to their defence unless they have observation around x number

I don't like percentages because they can scale more as you level and so far, I don't think I have seen a move used by someone that became stronger unless they invested their levels in it so I think you see where my point is.

Aso for your togle ability, Id like if you could stick to round durations, (3second / everyone implied posts )

Thanks for the understanding ^^

[Neko Miale]

With the current wording, your killer move is practicaslly disadvantaging you

[Sado Ikaru]

Yeah, It should be good now.

[Sado Ikaru]

Bump

[Neko Miale]

Approved,
Just change slip's duration to 1 round, which is of 3 second.

Otherwise, go punch stuff.
