Corvo Bianco
Yokai Yakuza
Fiore di Giglio
Alright now that we all have introduced our Characters I believe it's time to make some announcements, and suggestions about how are we going to lead ourselves through this RP and through the Arc that's about to come (this last goes more likely towards Yokai so far tho )
For the RP.
I've no idea if any of you had read the first post of the wasteland which briefly explains Hellscream's geography and current situation.
But I'll go a little deeper on this since at least I want to have all of your characters here profit from this rp.
Starting with pros and cons. (Can't really give much to my own character so you guys are welcome to give up some constructive criticism as well)
Katsuro Hideaki
Pro's
He's also from the human world which gives something Thomas on human form could relate to, Katsuro could become his main voice of reason given it's more likely for him to trust another human than other races (no offense to Hakudoshi or Lisa)
Seems to be fitting for the role of the party's mage. And the add of the Necronomicon having some mind of it's own ( at least that's the idea I got from what I've read, please correct me if I'm wrong) and probably a personality as well brings a lot to the table and I'm looking forward to see how they develope over the situation.
Cons
The OHKO skill is just too... perfect. Too Complete so to speak.
Once this skill becomes "useless" by loosing it's OHKO quality there's really not much for it to offer. And I believe it's a waste for a First OHKO move slot.
My suggestion, would be to nerf or Keep this as one of Katsuro's Ultimate Techniques ( unlocked later on) And have some sort of less impactful move that can later on scale to become this awesome technique.
For instance.
Absorbtion Gate
The necronomicon generates a fragment of chaos upon a designated area which would detonate creating a vaccum wave that entraps the foe into the fragment.
The necronomicon then proceeds to devour said fragment disintegrating it's content so it can expant its knowledge regarding the matter ingested.
Why this description in particular?
It looks to me like a better started up slot for a OHKO since it can be later on perfected into Kasturu's Permanent Record. And then, Become even better if Corvo desires to keep improving the technique.
Lisa
Pros'
Well I designed the first arc to be around your character so you are pretty much golden.
Cons
I've yet to hear about what would happen next after meeting the elder.
You need to have a better plan for your character's future.
I strongly recommend you to hang out with Yokai a little more, I'll get to that in a minute with his character.
Your OHKO move might kinda be wasted? But then again there's the OHKO mechanics that would cushion that for you so ... I guess you're still golden.
Hakudoshi:
This's one's a little tricky. Since I need to start with the Cons.
Cons:
Your character is just too perfect. Altogether there's nothing we can offer you on this rp the way he just got described. There's no room for improvement. It's just most likely going to be frustrating rping around a guy like that if you are not on the same level. Or might tempt others to jump onto OP mode just to scratch the guy.
However, we've already stated he'll lose his memories and start from scratch with only his instincts and the Combat discipline and the OHKO move so that matter is solved so far. Allowing him to explore himself a little more.
We are on hellscream.
Werewolves here are OP. The land itself is theirs to do whatever they please. If a single werewolf catches you off guard (just like any of the other RP characters) you are as good as dead.
Things here are UNFAIR and UNBALANCED on PURPOSE. (The team here would strike to bring this land into balance and strip the werewolf race from whatever's making them too OP to grant an light of hope on this hellhole...also scoring some awesome loots)
Therefore. You may consider the Intimidation fact pretty much nonexistent against Werewolves HERE on Hellscream.
Kitsunes here are from a clan who got exiled for being too stuborn and prideful.
They thought themselves better than the Elder herself, so there's not gonna be any luck trying to intimidate them at all.
Especially on this land in which Dead could show up any day.
However, we'll see how to add this intimidation thing on other races.
The OHKO, same as Katsuro, it's just to perfect, there's just little improvement that can be brought onto it.
I would advice keeping that Technique as one of his Ultimate Techniques for later on.
suggestion skill.
Soul Splitter.
Hakudoshi resonates with the blade in hand bestowing a devastating slice into the heavens with enough force to pierce through wind and matter alike.
Rumors said the attack itself devours the soul of it's victims in the process.
-------------
Pros:
He will eventually reach his prime , you've got pretty much figured how do you want your character to end. Kudos to you.
He's a natural leader for combat. Which would be greatly appreciated given the Party he's with.
Thomas is more likely a civilian who can pack a punch
Lisa while strong she's not a full grown soldier.
Katsuro as a mage needs protection and know where to position himself to be effective on the battlefield.
We need the commander.
------------
Things to take in account for Thomas's criticism.
His chew through everything stuff is affected by this "mysterious force" that made the werewolves OP to begin with ( more likely the reason why he's still alive on this deadmans land.)
This ability is meant to die by the time you guys figure what triggers this OP buff on werewolves and brought it to an end.
Having a werewolf close would give you guys some first hand info on how to find the Werewolve's weakenesses ( they aren't as strong as they make you believe since there are hidden flaws on this mysterious force)
My character without this mysterious Buff is just as useless as bringing a puppy here... well at least the puppy could act as a decoy or scavenge for food.
Once this force is dealth with, unless you guys help him be more disciplined, he's going to fall behind on the group. He's intended for you guys to show up your character's capability of teaching others or manage party members.
==================================================
Now lastly, for Yokai
There's been a change of plans with the arc effect, nothing that big.
But we are removing the Alternate world from the equation.
We aren't going to be using the Alternate world at all. Instead we'll get to the alternative of using Hellscream ( there are many mysteries on this realm and one of them happens to be it's capability to mirror civilizations and other realms alike)
So the place where Alt Ren was supposed to live and interact with Rhondo would be a farther region of Hellscream.
