█BACKGROUND ▬ Fang has had a wild and adventurous life full of both beauty and regret. It ultimately all starts with his mother getting exiled from a mysterious place not known to the rest of the world. He always wanted to return to this place, but had only fragments of memories. Very little was known about it except that it is a paradise of untold ingenuity and hope. A paradise lost to him.
When Fang was but nine years old he was playing in the forest. His mother's worried call echoed across the small meadow in a panic, but before he could even stand to go to her he felt his weight lifted from the ground. It was only a matter of seconds as he saw the gaping mouth of a manticore with is razor sharp teeth engulf him. Swallowed hole he slid into its stomach to be devoured but at that moment his semblance activated preventing his death. He lived in the dark abyss that was the belly of the best for a several weeks. Eating the morsels of flesh that the creature of grimm consumed. Unaware of what he was putting in his mouth he continued on. One day he was ripping chunks of meat from some figure when he stumbled upon a staff. Like that of a shepherd. He fell back in horror. Realizing that he had been ravaging the poor shepherd's body for sustenance. He took up the staff in desperation and started to use it to scale towards the throat of the beast. It took all the strength he could muster to fight against the beast's attempted to keep him down. The staff had a unique strength though and allowed him to keep himself from being crushed by the internal muscles. Once he made his way up to the mouth he took the staff and with all his might thrusted it through the creature's nasal cavity up into its brain. Killing it instantly. The light was blinding. He found himself deep in the wilderness of some unknown land. Fortunately, his mother had taught him to forage and the plants, albeit different, had enough in common for him to survive in the wild. He took his staff and forged his way onward. This was the beginning of his adventures, which would ultimately turn him into a man fraught with rage and guilt.
Fang spent several years as a nomad. Traveling the wild with nothing but grimm to keep him company. They didn't make good company as they usually attacked him on sight, but after they discovered they couldn't kill him they would eventually give up and ignore him. Grimm in his territory learned to ignore him and so his fondness of these strange creatures grew. They were the closest thing to company he ever got. He never could get himself to rejoin society. At least, nothing like before. He often found himself in fight clubs getting beaten to a pulp to get coin. This only grew his hatred for all man and faunus alike. In the end he became nothing but a lowly thief. He learned to hot-wire vehicles, unlock both simple and complex lock mechanisms, and all sorts of skills that helped him find his next meal, or something he could sell to buy it. The more he stole, the more society reviled him and the more his rage grew. [Garret Reveley]
When Fang was around 13 years old he spotted a group of travelers. They looked different from the people in this area and proved it with their combat powers. They carried a lot of spears. There was a boy, a few years older then himself. He heard the larger man call him 'Garret.' Fang would grab his cloak where his heart was. A pang of sadness. He wished he had family. Of some kind. Any kind. All he had were grimm, and his own self-loathing memories to keep him company. That night he would sneak into their camp and attempt to snatch a bag of rations next to the boy named Garret. A sort of revenge for having life better then him ordeal. Before he could escape he would feel his hand get smashed by the butt of a spear with lightning speed. It came from out of nowhere. He whimpered as he dropped the bag and made his way towards the forest, but the man he saw before materialized from the shadows and blocked him. He tried to escape, but instead the man beat him back. He was forced to stay in their camp, but it wasn't as he expected. He was treated with kindness for the first time. The man fed him, clothed him, and started to train him with a spear. His motives unclear, but having some sort of friendliness was nothing he had ever experienced before. It was addictive. Something he needed all his life. A day turned into a week, a week turned into months. He 'befriended' the boy Garret for the time and it was nice. Nice to feel like he was a part of something. His only issue was how they ruthlessly murdered any and all grimm they came into contact with. Fang didn't like this as grimm were not so bad after you got used to them. Or at least that was his subjective experience. Only manticores were truly despicable creatures. After many months of extreme focus he had learned a significant amount of pole-arm combat skills, but could never match the other boy which pushed him to try even harder, but to no avail he could never defeat him. There was some sort of drive that Garret possessed that he could never understand. After a while he started to notice how the larger man treated Garret, it wasn't the same as how he was treated. This created a new feeling. Something he had never quite felt before, not at this level at least; jealously. His jealously grew with each passing day. One day when the pain was too much he would challenge garret to a duel. One last duel. He would of course get beaten again. He couldn't take it anymore and so he would take to the forest once again. Weeping bitterly. Maybe 'family' wasn't for him.
It was a year or so later when he was reunited with the caravan. He was in the trees and spotted the boy; Garret. A group of grimm was approaching from the east, but he did nothing. He watched with envious, and longing, eyes as they launched their attack on the caravan. It wasn't enough for him though. He spotted the boy's guardian and launched himself down into the fray without thinking about what he even wanted to do. The man didn't see Fang coming, and with the element of surprise, Fang was able to sling his staff in a wide arc and knock the man's spear out of his hands. He grinned slyly, challenging the man to a last duel amid the chaos. Maybe he would be impressed and give him the attention he secretly desired. Maybe he would see his strength and choose him over the other boy? Maybe. Fang went in for another attack, slashing downward with massive force, but the guardian was gone. The staff slammed into the earth and then he heard a loud growl to the right. Fang redirected his attention, but before he could react the man had thrown himself in front of a grimm; over Garret. A mixture of rage and sorrow burned in his veins. Without thinking he rushed across the battlefield and into the woods. He wouldn't stop running. He couldn't stop running. Tears streaked down his face. What has he done? What atrocity had he just committed? He would march onward for weeks until he reached the great desert of Vacuo. He swore to eradicate all emotions from his life. All the ones that would cause him pain at least. No more friendliness. No more love. No more jealously. It was all raw rubbish and he wouldn't tolerate it. He would retain only the negative side of his emotions from here on out. In the desert of Vacuo he would be reborn.
[Sasselia Argenia]
This is where Fang Petrichor gained his reputation. He let his jealously, his malice, his sorrow take over and plagued the the kingdom's outlying villages. He would rile up grimm and lead them into population centers. He would scavenge the remains and create great wealth for himself. He was soon incredibly rich, yet completely unknown to the world other then his horrid ventures of deatha nd destruction. The people of Vacuo nicknamed him 'The Staff' correlating to his weapon of choice which he often used to wrangle a person into submission and then fed to the grimm which would eviscerate them in his brutal grip. The Staff represented death itself.
There was a time when he led a horde of grimm to a small village. He let the grimm have their way with the village in the usual manner; ravaging its inhabitants. He was looting a house when he spotted a grimm ripping two boys to pieces. One was older, about his age, but the other was but a mere child, a little younger then him when he was taken from his mother. Fang watched as the grimm torn the boy's arms off and sunk its teeth into the boy's chest. The sight wasn't anything he hadn't seen before. It was rather unremarkable as far as deaths went, but the older brother fought with all his might to save the younger brother. He screamed, kicked, and punched his way through grimm, but was ultimately overwhelmed. It was love. He had never paid enough attention to those dying around him to see it. It was horrifying. Love was such a powerful emotion and he couldn't help but feel the pangs of his lost soul. He wanted more then this life he had been given, but he was already too callous. Love was what he wanted more then anything, but he was undeserving. Or so the world had decided. It was his fate to roam the world, unloved. This experience would at least push him onward. He would leave his grimm raids and travel to a new land. He would roam north east towards Vale after that. Not knowing what he was roaming towards. He wanted love, but rejected it at the same time. It was not his fate.
[Koryn]
Fang wandered the forests of the south for a long time before he reached Vale. He saw that the creatures of grimm had grown in power far beyond his dreams. Too powerful. Every town was wiped out. All except one. He stumbled upon a faunus tribe. They were beautiful creatures like that of a butterfly, only a butterfly that could rip for face off if angered. They were fortunate to have survived thus far, but it was only a matter of time. He decided he would do something rather uncharacteristic of himself. He would warn them before moving on. Maybe he wanted to do this because of his guilt? Or maybe he was captivated by the beauty and just wanted to preserve it selfishly. Or maybe this was his secret desire to find love, he didn't know. Nor did he care. He just knew that they needed to be warned of their impending doom. He wasn't sure that they would accept a human, so he posed as a faunus with a fake tail from an animal that he had recently slain. he also sharpened his nails and applied splotches of color to his skin. He entered their tribe and warned them that the grimm were becoming more fierce and larger in numbers and that if they just ignored this, they would eventually be wiped out. He would move onward to the north soon after. In search of something, anything that would relieve some of his pain...

█PRIMARY WEAPON █ ▬ Cσllєctσr █ ▬ It usually appears only as a simple shepherds staff but has a few gadgets that help Fang navigate this harsh world. The staff has a slot inside of it that he can put dust into which cause the staff to take on the properties of the dust. █Melee Form ▬ Shepherd staff. Extremely simple, and extremely sturdy. In this form the staff is built for pure durability. █Ranged Form ▬ The staff has no ranged form, instead it has a dust compartment at the butt end of the staff. Gravity dust is most often stored in this portion of the staff which designed to bring the staff back to Fang's armor which also has a dust compartment build into it. █Other Form(s) ▬ The staff can fold lengthwise (keeping equal mass) to become a shorter, but thicker, pole to be stored on his person. The hooked end remains as is. █Ammo Type ▬ Dust █ ▬ The staff has no lethal projectiles.
█OTHER WEAPONS █ ▬ Handcuffs (Naughty Naughty) █ ▬ Steel Wire (for Grappling Hook; 50ft; coiled on belt) █ ▬ Spare Cσllєctσr (Storage form) █ ▬ Grappling Hook █ITEMS █ ▬ Lucky Coin. █ ▬ Scroll █ ▬ Survival Bag (emergency rations, water filter, space blankets, etc) █ ▬ Compact Glider (Its a small compactable parachute-like device that is attached to the survival bag)
█ █ ╫ S E M B L A N C E ╫
█*NAME ▬ Resolute Durability █*AURA COLOR ▬ Bright Yellow; like the light of the sun. █*DESCRIPTION █ ▬ Resolute Durability gives Fang the ability to be the ultimate support tank by strengthening his body and making him immune from all kinds of attacks and negative effects only so long as he doesn't attempt to deal any direct damage back to his opponents. He is able to restrain, push, pull, and wrestle his opponents only. He cannot punch or kick them in order to deal damage, if he does those actions it would have to be a shove with his open hand or foot to push them only. The second he makes an attack move that damages his opponent he loses Absolute Durability's tanking power for the duration of the fight. Likewise, he cannot use any weapons to attack and deal damage to his opponents as this also counts as a direct attack. This ability makes him most dangerous up close as he can try to restrain an opponent to allow someone or something else to deal damage. His immunity only lasts for 10 posts of tanking in a given fight before he loses immunity.
█*LEVEL 0 ▬ (0-99 posts) Every attack that hits him increases his strength for the duration of the fight. The power of the attack is sequestered by his aura to empower his attacks and movements. Increasing his strength by 50% per hit. This maxes out after 10 increments for this level. Waves of small projectiles will count as a single attack in order to prevent him from scaling too fast. Also, he cannot scale up more then once from a single post of an enemy. Meaning the opponents needs to attack him in 10 separate posts. █*LEVEL 1▬ (100-199 posts) Every attack that hits him now also increases his speed for the duration of the fight. The power of the attack is sequestered by his aura to empower his movements. Increasing his speed by 50% per hit. This maxes out at 10 increments. This ability has the same restrictions as his level 0. █*LEVEL 2▬ (200-299 posts) Every attack that hits him now also increases his perception and reflexes for the duration of the fight. The power of the attack is sequestered by his aura to empower his reflexes and perception. Increasing them by 50% per hit. This maxes out at 10 times his normal speed. He can only use this power for a total of ten posts in any given fight. This ability has the same restrictions as his level 0. █*LEVEL 3 ▬ (300-399 posts) Resolute Durability is able to be reactivated once for each time an ally or someone he cares about deeply has been KO'd (killed, or knocked unconscious and out of the fight). The percentage is also increased to 100% for all the lower abilities. █*DRAWBACKS ▬ The second he attacks an opponent directly and deals damage he can take that much damage from each and every attack that hits him. Causing him to lose his immunity for the duration of the fight. Also, his ultimate level has an extremely high cost. The death, or near death, of someone he cares about. This won't happen very often, and there are other restrictions specified in the levels themselves.

This ability has the same restrictions as his level 0. █*LEVEL 3 ▬ (300-399 posts) Resolute Durability is able to be reactivated once for each time an ally or someone he cares about deeply has been KO'd (killed, or knocked unconscious and out of the fight). █*DRAWBACKS ▬ The second he attacks an opponent directly and deals damage he can take that much damage from each and every attack that hits him. Causing him to lose his immunity for the duration of the fight. Also, his ultimate level has an extremely high cost. The death of someone he cares about. This won't happen very often, and there are other restrictions specified in the levels themselves.
❖❖❖Assessment❖❖❖ Hello, my name is Youroka Kage, and I'll be judging your profile today!
❖ I need to know an approximate age for him. He might not tell people his real age, but this is a character sheet to show us stuff. If people say your age out loud, you can ask them to edit their post. ❖ If your faction is undecided, you should pick independent, you are able to change this in the future. However, your allegiance should maybe be to your faction? ❖ Speed and agility are two very different things. You can be speedy, and still get hit in the face by a basketball. ❖ Also, if you could explain a bit more on your other talents, that would be awesome. ❖I'm sorry, I need another weakness in order to consider this as a viable weakness. ❖I'd like a paragraph for your nature, explain how he is Chaotic evil. (Also most CE people don't work in a group)
These are not all the changes you have to make, once changes are made, I will add more to this.
-If you highlight the profile his age was already on there. :]
-Added in independent, but yeah we just got a name for our villain team Notre Fiasco so added that in as team for now, as its more of their team name then a faction. Once the faction is made we can change it to faction if we keep that name for the faction as a whole which is undecided.
-Took out speed and just put Agility.
-Added more detail on other talents as requested.
-Changed weakness to: Long Ranged Combat because that is more what I wanted him to suck at anyways. Its simpler and more comprehensive.
-CE people can work in groups under certain conditions. Most of his group are actually those who follow him. He's also on a character development path to becoming good so he's more of a hybrid between chaotic evil and chaotic neutral right now, but I won't have him switch to chaotic neutral for a while since he's still more evil. And the paragraph has been added in white!
Thanks!

❖ I don't understand why there is still white text on the profile. It doesn't make sense for Faction or for Nature. ❖ As we talked about on Discord, I would like for an actual personality description here, instead of just an alignment. ❖
Quote:
(1.) Three Forms- You cannot have more than 3 weapon forms unless your weapon is significantly weaker than a normal weapon. Usually you should have two major fighting forms and a storage form. We do allow exceptions depending on the power level of the weapon though.
As long as you understand that your weapon falls under this rule, we are mostly ok. ❖How far out can the Grappling hook fire? ❖ What is this spare collector? What's in the Survival bag (It's varied as some people value somethings over others. ) I also need more info on the glider.
Ok, so we might be able to make it to semblance next time!

❖❖❖Assessment❖❖❖ Hello, my name is Youroka Kage, and I'll be judging your profile today!
❖ Ok, so with your grappling hook, can you use it on enemies? Is it a fixed Grappling hook, or a collapsible one? I assume it's a Collapsible one, based on the fact that it's built in. I need to know how fast you can fire it it it's Collapsible one. The reason I'm asking this is because if it's too fast, you could shoot it through someone, and then cause it to prong off in their back, and then if you pull hard enough, you could almost instantly kill them by removing a ton of organs ^.^; ❖ For the weakness of the weapon, I will wait until I have confirmation on the grappling hook. ❖

I need a confirmation for this rule man...^.^; ❖I don't think I'm understanding what the spare collector is, it's not entirely clear to me since it just says Storage form. Ok, so we might be able to make it to semblance next time! I know it's only 4 points, but once I get into the semblance, I'm gona want more than one point...
Oh, I guess it wasn't clear enough but the grappling hook is built into his staff. So I guess the hook itself is collapsible. Basically the ends of his staff become pointy and either end can shoot off like a grappling hook. This is just so he has a way to catch himself when he falls off a cliff and to grab onto objects far away if he needs to. It isn't designed to use on enemies but of course one could always fire it at an enemy if they wanted, but it would never be lethal.
It isn't a weaponized grappling hook so it lacks the power to puncture through a living body. Its utility :] I added "Utility" onto the profile by it to specify.
Also the weapon weakness is just that its generally a weak weapon. The staff in and of itself has no blades, only pointy ends on the grappling hook itself which as stated above isn't weaponized, and the weapon otherwise has no other major forms. It basically is very durable with utility. His semblance stops tanking if he attempts to deal a direct damaging blow and so in general he wants his weapon not to deal damage.
It also doesn't have many forms really, its a staff that shrinks to become smaller, but a part of the shrinking staff is straightening which hardly counts as its own form as only the top part is really curled. So its basically staff for, slightly straighter staff, and compact rod storage form. Oh and the name of the weapon is collector and so that's his spare staff which he keeps in storage form since his weapon is pretty weak. If he can't have that I will just give his weapon a true double form, like making it turn to a poleaxe from a staff or something. Which would be as simple as blades popping out the sides, but let me know!
And what do you mean about points?
Posted: Thu Jan 31, 2019 7:39 pm
Orrr another idea is his staff breaks into two smaller staffs. The idea is to make him look like an Egyptian pharaoh a bit with two: https://www.richardcassaro.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/bvfrtgy.jpg
Let me know what is preferable. The end result is the same effectively as have two of what he has, but with like 2 feet less length.
❖❖❖Assessment❖❖❖ Hello, my name is Youroka Kage, and I'll be judging your profile today!
❖ With the three forms, I looking at the parts that it would take to use it. The grappling hook shoots out, meaning that there is an air canister in there, not to mention, 50ft of rope. Then there is a slot somewhere in there to put dust in, one that wouldn't cause the Grappling hook to malfunction, that's 2. Then it collapses into a smaller form. That would have to not cause the rope to tangle itself within the staff, meaning it would have to have a complicated pulley system that that has a button that allows the spring that is needed inside of it to pull on the rope to keep it from twisting, but then release it so that the Grappling hook can fire. Also, based on your suggestion of having it spilt into two, that wouldn't be 100% possible, unless you had to externally attach a rope. Then that would get rid of the more complicated system inside, but then also leads to complication. Also, the grappling hook would be able to fire into someone's abdominal cavity, bruising it. I say that because the force that the grappling hook would come out, could cause injury, even if it's bludgeoning damage. I'd like to mention that bruising is a form of internal bleeding. I also now understand what a spare collector is ^.^; ❖ Ok, so now we are on the semblance. The base of it is fine, however you don't state the max amount of time that the abilities can be used. Only that they stack as long as he doesn't kick or punch. I need to know how long he can be in this mode before his Aura cuts at each level. ❖ I am not comfortable with a 100% increase to strength and speed. Most of my trepidation is because I don't have a base speed or Strength for this character. I'd be more ok with 50% increase. I also would like to see it only go up 5 times, at least at the lower levels. You could give it a boost at higher levels though. ❖ One of the reasons I'm not a fan of the increase to perception and agility is because at a certain point, he would be able to dodge everything, and that's not fun.
We got to Semblance this time!

Not sure if that means the weapon is okay or not? I can change it if need be. I'm flexible on the weapon. Very flexible. :]
He's a tank. He doesn't want to dodge things, he'd be using it to jump in the way of things! Then again he would be dodging things later in fights if he deals damage so I understand! Let me make some edits to the semblance and see if you like it then! Let me know! I halved his percent to 50% at all lower levels, but then at level 3 made it where its back to where it was before. I also made the increase in perception and reflexes to be "This only works for 10 posts total during any given fight." Making it more limited. That way he can't continually have increased perception and reflexes for the whole fight among other changes. Let me know!
This basically nerfs him by half at all levels before 3.

Sorry that I wasn't clear, I mean that the weapon isn't really plausible. I know that you mentioned in the judging chat that it's wire and not rope, The issue with wire is that it's deadly. As a fisher-woman, I can tell you that s**t can cut off fingers, and that's just from having your hand in the wrong place. Meaning the melee form would be deadly, if you used it as a melee weapon. (Which you can surprisingly do well with a grappling hook, with wire. tldr; The wire makes the weapon work, but then it brings a whole new problem, that needs to be addressed. aka, the weapon weakness doesn't work. It would be weaker still because of all the moving parts that it needs to work.
I thank you for making half of the changes, but I need to know how long he can tank, before his Aura fails. This would be on top of doing damaging moves. ^.^; For example, if someone went full frontal, realized that this has happened, and decided to move into an observation position/stealth, and then they throw a basketball.

Weapon simplified (no grappling hook, just dust slot, also no straightening to speak, etc) and tanking nerfed to a total of ten tanking posts before it deactivates on its own.
