It might just be me, but the image is broken on RpGuild. Rather than 'be modified to shoot elemental blasts' I would probably say 'be infused with elemental power by her allies'. For Weaknesses, you could add that she has low defense to Lightweight, and also say something like Plugged In or Tech Reliant. which describes her lack of fighting skill / ability on her own and how she basically can't fight at all if she doesn't have her equipment. I would also actually get rid of Weapons Expert since I don't know if there's any evidence that's she's able to adapt to new weapons and learn how to use them with no training; rather, I would think that she's just proficient with the Haltmann Corp weapons she's been given. Also, having a backstory like that is kind of weak. Maybe you should describe her story throughout Robobot, and then after she's taken over the company following Haltmann's defeat, she's left idle while raking in the money until Galeem attacks

With your new changes, the sheet is pretty good. If there's nothing else to her backstory then she's accepted as your third character. Props to you for keeping up the interesting picks!

I understand, and nobody bears you any ill will, of course. Just make sure that you're ready to re-commit for the long haul before you intend to join again.

@Lugubrious I'd need to think about it, if I did it would be from a fresh start. I'll let you know.

The sheet seems good. The backstory was tough to wrap my head around, but I assume that's just a product of a more abstract sort of game, so that's just my problem. I just have a couple questions about his abilities. Do the emotions Omori inflicts have any gameplay effect, like debuffs, or are they just emotions? Does 'initially in a battle' mean 'once per battle'?

- Yeah, I intent for him to "not succumb" only once per battle, can't remember if it applies to his original game, but I'd rework it that way anyways.

- The emotions have both buffs and debuffs, and can counter one another. I added a link to the chart shown in game to reference off it. (I.E. Anger buffs one's attack but lowers their defense, and is weak against happiness. edit: Read it wrong, it's happiness, not sadness. I blame my tired brain.)

- Yeah, the game in itself can be rather abstract, so that's a reasonable reaction. I do plan on expanding on the background once Omori finds his real self.

Alright, thank you for the clarification. It would be ideal to include what each emotion does when they're used in powers just to have the data in-house, but all in all the sheet's looking quite acceptable.

I got here from the interest check. I have a shred of interest, but this looks complicated.

My favorite Video Game is Pokémon, but I’m not sure who to play.

Hey there! It can sure seem like a lot at first, but what it comes down to is pretty simple. Once your sheet is accepted, we can get together about a place for your character to join up. You'll meet the rest of the cast in short order, be freed from Galeem's influence if you weren't already, and then be all set to get to know everyone and set out on adventure! And if you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to help.

Pokemon has a bunch of good characters, I'm kind of surprised that nobody actually ended up playing a trainer from that series yet, although some of our characters do have Pokemon with them. If you're not sure who to pick, your best bet might be someone with a strong personality that you think would be fun to play in all kinds of situations. The more they've got going for them, the more they'll be able to make of the other characters and world around them!

@Lugubrious Heyo boss, I saw your interest check. Now I know my track record is shaky here but I think I can fully commit. If nobody has chosen or the character is dead I was wondering if I could play the Hollow Knight from Hollow Knight or Mog the Moogle from Final Fantasy 3/6 anyways get back to me whenever ya got time :D

If you're sure, then you'll definitely get another chance. Just to be certain, do you mean Hollow Knight as the final boss of Hollow Knight, or the main character the Knight, who's sometimes mistaken as Hollow Knight? Either way, a character without much personality and who doesn't speak might find it hard to interact with for other PCs, just so you know.

@Lugubrious Yeah, it might. I meant the main character yeah. Still I've got a few other ideas knocking around, wanna try to play characters I know and love.

Has Sylvando shown up as a spirit yet? I actually very much might consider playing him because he was one of my favorite characters from Dragon Quest 11 (2nd fav Richard, 3rd Veronica) or possibly Malarith from DQ Builders 2

Sylvando has yet to appear, but even if he had, anyone in the Spirit Board who's not dead or already a PC is an option.

What do you think?



Overall, pretty good. It might be just me, but the image seems broken. I would recommend listing out the weaknesses with bullets, and I'd encourage you to add two more things that he's good at, just so he doesn't start super disadvantaged. The most notable thing is the Power section, since rather than have a power he has a companion, who has the powers. If you like, we could rework things just a little. You could keep track of his Pokemon separately, not with their own sheets of course, but just in a little list either in or after the Inventory section with their moves and weaknesses. For Bede's Power, we could lean into how things work in the Pokemon games themselves, so that he isn't totally disadvantaged just by being a normal guy.

How about a Power called Pokemon Trainer, which means two things: as long as he has a Pokemon out and fighting on his behalf, and damage taken by Bede will be dealt to his Pokemon instead. And if his Pokemon's health is depleted, it will always faint instead of dying, and be returned to his Pokeball, which would have to be destroyed while the Pokemon is fainted to kill it. This is just spitballing, but I think it would be fair given how things work in Pokemon.
