[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[harinezumikouken]

Some cool ideas. I was thinking of Dust Chakrams a while ago. Kinda like my characters Deep Magic or Weiss' Myrtenaster, it doesn't have a secondary form. It does have a dust selection system built into it though. Just by pressing the button and flicking the wrist, the user could send a "wheel of dust" within the chakrams spinning. Another press of a button and the wheel stops and infuses the chakram with that selected type of dust. It would work perfect for CQB and you could throw it for good range potential. I never figured out how to return the chakrams after they were thrown though. I mean you could be like Captain America and just bounce it off of other items and have it return to you, but I'm sure there are other better ways to do it too.

@Psyrencalling

Maybe something along the lines of Dust YoYos instead of chakrams? Like, two giant bladed Yoyos with some kind of cord/rope/chain in between them. Throw them out for some acrobatic attacks and then recall them safely at your side. I'd imagine something like that would be extremely difficult to wield and require the user to be extremely skilled in acrobatic attacks and movements.

[SirBeowulf]

Lugu, I've changed Aurellius' semblance into one that actually works for him. Like I said earlier, its basically Guttsu's berserker armor, in that it gives the wearer intense strength and speed, but at the cost of destroying their body.

[Lugubrious]

Alrighty. Here's your redo, Fazzer. Tentaclelord, you're on the receiving end!

So, just curious, who's fights have yet to be posted?

So there is. Hmm, probably should check that thing more often.

@harinezumikouken

You could do something like that too. I just enjoy chakrams as weapons. I am going to keep thinking about it, but I think the most probable answer will have to inside a semblance of some sorts, kinda like Phyrra's.

Tentaclelord, you're on the receiving end!

@Lugubrious

Alright, added to my character sheet.

[Tearstone]

@Lug - I haven't seen him change anything in the pad. So I've been waiting on that. Now if I have to make his changes for him, I'm not going to be happy, unless you want me to leave them as-is.

[NaraK]

I have attempted to make a Character Sheet for Yukihisa, the wielder of Masamune. Feedback will be appreciated. ---

”Yukihisa”

Yukihisa

”Years in a dark void Hardened the soul of a True and just swordsman. “Alone in darkness He found the meaning of truth And his destiny. ”As ancient snow fade, We will be protected by A beacon of hope. “As holy light shines We will praise the cold hero who Lost all of his love. “He beckons to none He battles the evil life He can only seek rest.”

“Yukihisa.”

Yukihisa

Age: 21(?) Gender: Male Race: Human

Weapon

Masamune

A very powerful blade that has no ranged weapons loaded into it. When Masamune slashes through Dust, the Dust will turn into a vortex of nothingness that sucks in other Dust with great force. If Masamune is empowered by the user's Semblence, Arbiter, the user will gain the ability to strike through anything, in exchange for no longer being able to counterattack Dust attacks for several minutes. Arbiter allows the user, if careful enough, to let Masamune completely absorb Dust rather than destroying it. Whenever Masamune consumes Dust, however, nothing happens to it. Yukihisa can physically touch the voids he creates. Moving the voids with his blade can send them towards different directions, but he could not move them without his sword. Masamune can technically be used to create a solid surfaces that Yukihisa could use to advance towards normally unreachable places.

Semblence

Arbiter

Arbiter affects both Yukihisa himself and Masamune. Masamune is empowered with the ability to erase Dust and turn them into effective black holes that drag in other Dust particles. Yukihisa has a passively heightened nervous system that can only be manipulated by himself. When he activates Arbiter, Yukihisa gains the ability to strike through anything. When used against biological targets, the attack can slash through a target (but does not actually cut them) and attacks their nervous system, sending a large jolt of pain to the target's head. When the attack is used against non-organic targets, if the object cannot be regularly sliced through with the sword, Masamune will be propelled away from the target. If the object can be sliced through, nothing happens, and Arbiter's active effect will be disabled.

Specialty

Yukihisa forces his opponents into using different fighting styles against him. Against people and the likes, Yukihisa mixes various strategies and fighting styles to utilize a single hybrid battle style that can fluently transition from one strategy to another. He excels at both dueling and dealing with multiple targets, making it monstrously challenging for many of his opponents to see through him clearly. He is far stronger against Grimm, as he can utilize techniques specifically made against them. He is very aware of his surroundings. As a team member, Yukihisa boasts a flexibile role in his team, as he can perform different kinds of tasks despite only having a sword. Yukihisa will never accept an “assassination mission” of any kind, and will always try to show himself to his opponents before he begins battle.

Personality

Between a lustrous woman who pretends to need help and an aged man who desperately needs someone who could stand for a good cause, Yukihisa would instantly choose to help the man without any hesitation, albeit with a strange anger that cannot be explained easily. Some have described him to be colder than even the most frightening of blizzards, as he could be brutally honest at times. He is generally one who thinks before speaking, but ultimately prefers to express his emotions through actions. As a team member, Yukihisa strives to help any inner turmoils his allies face, regardless of how light it is. He sees getting along with his team as a mission rather than a potential bond he could form. Despite being brutal at given times, Yukihisa enjoys serenity and finds peace in areas filled with nature. He tends to think outside of the box because he prefers not to think like an artificially-programmed fool. The warrior is obedient at times, though he may branch away from certain rules and orders given to him to do what he believes is just. He never takes his mask off due to his face’s disfigured condition. Behind his good actions lies malicious thoughts. He helps people only because he thinks he needs to help others in order to survive in a world that doubts him. Every single one of his achievements known to Remnant were done out of pity rather than good intentions, as if to mock how weak much of the world's people had become. He ignores the words of those who are not related to him as either a team member or a faculty member. While he boasts talent with great swordsmanship and making up strategies quickly, he feels inhumane, and has an ego that hardened his heart after years of isolation. He sees both Faunus and Humans as equal... and equally useless.

Autohit semblance. Wonderfull...... And what is he with the named attacks, a digimon? XD

@Forsythe

Not really an autohit semblence. The description of "strike through anything" basically means that he could attack anything as long as his sword could reach it, and as long as he could move quickly enough to reach it. He still needs to aim since if he messes up, it could end a battle with his loss. The named attacks are Japanese translations of existing words, but if you'd like, I could remove them. I placed Abilities so that others would feel clarified on how he would fight. EDIT: To clarify, his "heightened nervous system" basically means that he could react a little faster than some people, but that does not mean he could move as quickly as his nerves sense things. That, too, does not resemble an "auto-target" semblence, as that is precisely what I avoided while making Yukihisa's CS. EDIT 2: Pardon me for asking, but what on Earth is a digimon? EDIT 3: Edited the Background portion of the character because I felt there were some pointless tidbits on it.

[MULTI_MEDIA_MAN]

It's more of an unblockable attack, which most people can counter (ie dodge) once they recognize what it is.

[Tearstone]

My sensei used to say the best way to deal with an attack is to not be there for it. Don't get hit.

[NaraK]

Arbiter is extremely predictable, both visually and technically (Visual Predictability: the sword begins to alternate between colors instead of remaining red). The only unpredictable thing about its activated form is when Yukihisa decides to use it; other than that, anyone can see it coming. That's also why Yukihisa doesn't use it that much, despite its high potential.

Yukihisa has a passively heightened nervous system that can only be manipulated by himself. When he activates Arbiter, Yukihisa gains the ability to strike through anything.

@NarayanK

Be warned! You are about to here the ravings of a mad man! In my opinion, the only real problem I see with the semblance is the ability to cut through or shatter auras. I mean there are 4 types of enemies that we would usually fight: Grimm, White Fang, other human/faunus beings and other students. Three of those groups can have an aura: White Fang, other human/faunus, and the other students. I am assuming that using the semblance against a student, no matter how bad or sadistic they are, is a huge no no. By cutting through the students aura, you are creating an instant situation where the student is taking true physical damage. Especially in a sparring match, like the ones we are going through now, you would either have to not use the semblance at all or only use when you opponent is not in physical range. Now, lets move on to the White Fang and other human/faunus beings. I don't really see a problem with the semblance in this case, but I would like to believe that most Hunters/Huntresses aim to disable a opponent rather than give him/her a potential fatal wound. Of course there are cases where kill or die applies, but wouldn't that be few and very far between? In the end I think it really comes down to the numbers. You will probably only want to use a semblance that cuts through aura against the Grimm, and other human/faunus bad guys. Grimms you will want to use it 100% of the time, White Fang 30%-45%, and other human/faunus 20%-35%. All in all you will most likely only want to use your Arbiter 35%-45% of the time. I would rather use a semblance that doesn't cut through aura every battle than use a semblance that does less than half of the time. TL;DR I like the semblance and I like functionality, but those two just don't mix.
