[quote=@Zobozun] yoshua171, the GM says we're not supposed to have memories of life before entering Soul Society, remember? On top of that you've got internal inconsistency all over the place, like where you state "His skill with hoho was also essentially nonexistent", but then list him as being an expert in it. You also try to justify it by saying things have taken him "a long time" despite it being only 15 years after he left the academy, which is practically nothing in terms of Bleach timescales. On top of that, all the skills your character is "bad" in more or less explicitly state that he's not actually bad in them and is fully capable of keeping up with masters anyway. Generally, this is considered to be in poor taste. On top of that, you just arbitrarily state he's Kenpachi-super-prodigy-level despite there already being a generational prodigy (Shota) in the game. Stick with one thing and let other people have their own gimmicks. Scrambling to cover all the bases like this is unfair to your fellow players. As a side note, you may want to read your fellow character's sheets carefully. Especially Mary's history section. I assumed you had read it, since you tried to start a fight over it, but I guess you didn't. That's pretty poor form as well. You should probably be more considerate to the people you're sharing this game with.[/quote] There are exceptions to the memories thing and the GM also implied they'd work on a case by case basis, not to mention that it was alright if most of those memories faded, which I implied they had. Majime is not very old, as far as shinigami go, so he's not completely forgotten his human life. However, he has forgotten most of it. Still, it is a core part of what made him who he is, so I included it in his history. This is not something I intend to do for my captain. The justification of his rank is his skill in one area in particular, that area being kido. As to his "hoho," saying expert, that's because people forget that hoho isn't just about speed, it's about [i]footwork[/i]. Shunpo the most common technique derived from hoho, and falls into that category. Majime can't "keep up," with people faster than him in that he can't follow after them at the same speed, or even something bordering that speed. He can however track their movement, because you don't have to be fast to be observant. The bit in his zanjutsu states he has observed techniques, so he knows what to look for. Does this mean he can use any of these techniques, no, it does not. In fact, his zanpakuto (when sealed) is virtually useless to him. Every so often we might see him block an attack and be overpowered by someone else's superior strength, getting driven back. His hakuda is pretty much totally and completely useless aside from any [i]basic[/i] knowledge that any schmuck could pick up. Meaning that he knows what a block, a kick and a punch ought to look like and how to preform mundane forms of those. Nothing fancy or even vaguely trained at all. More complicated or skillfully executed hakuda techniques are likely to give him a lot of trouble if he lets you/you manage to get close enough to use them. Majime has sacrificed skill in essentially every category aside from kido to be as good as he is at it. He has a talent for it and he has also voraciously studied, both on his own and under anyone who was willing to teach him anything, even if it required they teach him in fights where he was sure to lose. Majime's not so much a prodigy as he is someone who consumed as much as he possibly could in regards to kido as fast as he possibly could, ignoring practically everything else in the process, so he could get where he is. If you put it in the context of a highschool's test scores. You have one person who's naturally good at what they do, without studying or reviewing notes. They retain information intuitively and can recall it and apply it with intuitive ease. They are a prodigy or a genius. Then you have someone, through sheer determination, hard work, and force of will tops the test score list by constantly studying, reviewing, and challenging themselves. Majime falls into the second category. I do admit I did not read Mary's history, though I'm...not really sure what that has to do with this. I've been very focused on my own character sheet since my captain has been giving me trouble. Also, I'm not the one who debated Mary's history. That was Riddle. Also I never stated he was some "Kenpachi level prodigy," or something. That would imply that he was a captain level combatant, which he isn't. Not sure where you got that tbh. Also not sure what I've really done to provoke this. I will however go back through his CS and make sure I kept everything consistent even though I'm fairly sure I did.[hr] [quote=@ProPro] Right? Yumichika is as sophisticated (and vain) as they come... If a little crude.[/quote] True hehe.
