Welcome to Gaia! ::

As far as names go, I can only think of one that's a stretch. Fisher is one. It's the name of that and sounds like a fisher cat, which is like a civet cat and civet cats love to eat coffee.

I don't see anything off about her character. I do wonder how Tenacious and No Timesense go together, though. Does she only lose time for others or something like that?

My personal favorite out of your list of name ideas is Aruna. I really like the dawn/awakening/coffee link and puts higher emphasis on the caffeine.

That said, I also like the idea of taking the sphere of Coffee as one of awakening, though I'm reluctant to suggest anything completely non-combat. However, I'm having trouble suggesting any good compromise.

If you're still looking for other name suggestions, how about Dufour? While not actually named after him, the earliest literary mention of coffee was noted by coffee merchant Philippe Sylvestre Defour (according to Wikipedia, anyway).

Other possible names:
Macocha - Looks a bit like "mocha".
Cuppy - I think the connection here is obvious.
Hyperenor - Chosen for the "hyper" bit.

On to senshi:

I've only had a brief look at this, but currently I prefer your idea 2 attacks most.

I was curious about how long the steam hangs around in the senshi and super senshi attacks.

For the eternal attack, having an attack that can dispel dream/nightmare effects, hypnosis effects and other dreamlike/unconscious states seemed quite powerful.

For all attacks I was curious about how many times Gloria would be able to use them.

Hope some of this helps.

Litian: Thanks for such detailed crit!

Multitasking: not as such. sweatdrop She kind of multitasks linearly. She has a checklist she goes through, one thing after another, but since she breaks her big projects into little steps, it might be several steps from one project, then a step from another, then back to the first. She won't be happy if she has to stop mid-step.

Total project fail reaction is something I hadn't thought of. I'll work on that.
Enthusiasm: I see what you mean, I'll reword that, thanks.

Tutor: I think she'd volunteer, but she wouldn't force it on you. It's only when you've asked for her help that she's at risk of taking over and getting pushy.

Coffee zombie: actually, 'can't stop now' was the only virtue this flaw wasn't supposed to overrule. razz All her other nice points go under, and you're left with grumpy, exhausted-but-determined-to-keep-going-until-she-keels-over Gloria. She'll get all the physical sleep-deprived symptoms but she won't want to let herself sleep until she's *finished*, and will just get more and more horrible. She is zombie-like in that she is still walking around trying to do things when she really shouldn't be capable of it. smile

Attacks: I hadn't really thought about the stats yet. I guess the single-target spell would be multi-use, the other two single-use only? I'll have a look around to check active character's limitations.

The steam spells are short duration, a couple of 'rounds' at most. Long enough for the target to stumble to their feet and take one action. If someone was put back to sleep after she'd used it, she'd have to cast it again (if she could?). Sound reasonable?

The eternal attack: I'd like to be more specific, but I don't know how often that sort of effect is going to be in play, since the Negas use weapons rather than magic. If it could be used in a lot of circumstances, I can significantly limit its strength, but if it's only going to be helpful against like, three villains ever, it might be okay to cover everything? That's my reasoning, anyway. More thoughts on this one would be appreciated.

Thanks again for your help! I'll work it all into the main form another day, tired.

If anyone has the time, I could use some crits on the Senshi side (especially the attacks). Thanks for your help. smile

Well, I did write it to wake up unconscious people as well. At this stage she's kind of designed to be an 'emergency escape' Senshi, rather than fighter or buffer - get people back on their feet and out of harm's way sort of thing. I also thought with the Negas stealing energy rather than starseeds now, there'd be more civilians needing a wake-up. That's how I remember the anime, at any rate. Maybe I misunderstood how it works in-game.

I'm not sure how I could make the eternal attack into a starter - people have previously advised me it was quite strong even as an eternal level. A distraction might work as first-level, I'll have to think about how to do it and see who else it overlaps with. Ganymede already has a scent-based distraction, I think? (I originally had a 'hot coffee' attack but it got nixed pretty quick.)

Thanks for your help.

Apparently I'm really bad at writing attacks. sweatdrop

Thanks for your help, Lit, as always. The links are awesome. heart I'll take a look at who your suggestion might overlap with, and what else I can come up with from the links. Thank you. smile
