The way you were saying it, 'Dust' seems to be a substance that cannot be replenished by simply recharging. From what you're saying, if the character cannot passively generate the material, the guy will burn out. Even if he can retrieve some of it after an attack, the reacquistion rate will not be absolute. If it was, then there's no point in writing the character as such.
What you're proposing's not going to fly if everything is as you stated, I believe; also, reabsorbing it in the middle of a fight seems kinda... Difficult. Then there's also the issue of diffusion. The longer he does without said reabsorption, the harder it is to gather everything. And, you know, things diffuse pretty damn fast.
I... had a character idea a few days ago, but I've not posted to apply or anything mostly because of the somewhat... awkward way things would need to happen to make it work? The simple version is that to take the character from the right point as-is would introduce a temporal problem due to coming from somewhat earlier in the series as compared to another character. But given something else that happened, it's entirely possible to explain around it.
Or in less obtuse terms: Kohinata Miku with the Shenshou Jing (but without the huge-ass laser due to lack of synchronisation), theoretically because if you gathered a bunch of shit from the moon after G and then got someone who could repair and enhance relics, you'd probably end up with that. And who else would you give it to? xD
... the sane version: same universe as Hibiki. Had a Symphogear for a while. Whilst it would be POSSIBLE to enter her from that time, it would be a bad idea. Given a few pieces of info from the next season, it's entirely plausible that she could get the thing again without a season-long knowledge gap and related problems.
I mean... If you can write the explanation in a way that people that haven't seen the show (e.g.; me) that makes sense with what context you give, then go for it.
So that post might be kind of a mess but that's probably because I only got about three hours of sleep last night. Also of course the best idea is to head to the one setting I know nothing about even if after doing a little bit of research it seems like fun.
Well, given the number of people we have compared to the number of worlds, I'd say that the leftmost door is now off-limits. I'll be updating there momentarily.
World of Origin: Senki Zesshou Symphogear Personality: A very sweet, kind girl who's cheerfully optimistic about most things, and a far better student than Hibiki, about whom she worries... a lot. Most of the time, she has faith in her friend, though Hibiki can't really hide things from her at all and Miku isn't above calling her an idiot. She's also got a possessive streak and a desire to protect Hibiki, though it's normally the other way round. This culminated in being able to activate the Senshou Jing... through love. In a case of extremely poor judgement, she ended up fighting Hibiki; not that anyone appears to care about this. History: Hibiki's childhood friend, she's been around for practically everything that's happened to the other girl--except for the concert incident, due to being late. This has extended to being her room-mate since beginning to attend Lydian. So naturally, when Hibiki found out that she had a Symphogear, Miku ended up getting involved as well--first mostly by being mad that Hibiki was avoiding her, then later joining the same organisation. She later temporarily gained a Symphogear, only for it to be destroyed. However, with the full relic being presumably recovered and someone with the abilities to make and alter the system around the relic fragments, she can quite easily get it again. Given her track record for being attacked and falling huge distances, this would be a good thing. Abilities: The Senshou Jing, which works like every other Symphogear--sing, get fancy armour and a weapon (Hibiki's Gungnir being an anomaly). In her case, this manifests as a club that looks like a folded fan, and has a mirror that shoots lasers. It also has the honour of being the only Symphogear capable of flight outside of X-Drive, which is handy given that its wielder has no combat training whatsoever. Other capabilities include the club splitting into an actual mirror-fan, which can fire a burst of lasers, attacking with the strange trailing bits, and launching mirrors that... shoot lasers (with really bad apparent aim). If her synchronization was better, then it would also have the Liuxang attack--a relic-destroying magical wave motion gun. The downside, however, of her lasers is that mirrors reflect them. On the plus side, Miku's in very good shape, as she's on the track and field team, which has come in useful on more than one occasion. Other:
... she seriously has bad luck with falling off of things. All three seasons she's fallen from somewhere high up, nearly twice in season two, and she's averaging getting attacked by something somewhere around... three. xD
@Raineh Daze: I think it should be fine, from what I'm seeing here. Accepted. As I've said earlier, the left door is off limits for this set now that there are five people in there (well, technically 6, but eh), so keep that in mind when you pick a place to go.
And a second submission. We need more swords. We ALWAYS need more swords.
Name: Sir Artorias the Abysswalker Age: Unknown Gender: Male
World of Origin: Dark Souls Personality: Artorias is a brave and honourable knight with a persistent hatred for the servants of dark--which, regardless of wider morality, seem to entirely be insane or sociopathic and homicidal, as well as destructive. His willpower is as renowned as Artorias' ability with a sword, never breaking as far as anyone has ever known--the one exception being the person who eventually killed him, someone he wanted to warn away. He's also selfless enough to sacrifice his only defence and get injured in defence of Sif. History: One of the Four Knights of Gwyn, Artorias was a general in the war against the immortal dragons. After winning the war, the knights more or less spent their time killing the remaining dragons (to the point their captain did it as a hobby). More than five hundred years after Gwyn set himself on fire, the rulers of New Londo made a pact with the Abyss... which began to devour and consume their citizens. Artorias himself made a pact with the beasts there, gaining a ring that would allow him to traverse the Abyss without melting instantly, in order to kill the life-stealing Darkwraiths. After the crisis was contained, Artorias was awarded his pendant, and a similar problem appeared in nearby Oolacile. He set off to rescue the princess and broke his arm in the process, leaving his shield behind to guard his companion even as the Abyss began to corrupt him. Defeated and broken, he turned into a mindless beast, barely holding on but still fighting his enemies... until an undead from the future came back and allowed him to die with honour. Of course, that hasn't happened yet. Or maybe it has, time flows strangely in Lordran... Abilities: Unmatched with a sword in his home, Artorias has enough strength to wield his blade with his off-hand alone. His sword, now cursed, cuts as much with magic as sheer force and possesses the ability to cut through ghosts and their ilk, even though they have no physical form. His other possessions are a shield where the wielder is more likely to buckle than it is to get scratched, a ring that allows him to traverse the Abyss, another ring to supplement his unbendable will, and a pendant that can repel dark magic (as well as his armour). It's also quite plausible that Sif, his companion, would be with him--essentially a human-sized wolf pup. Other: He's something like ten feet tall.
@Raineh Daze: Hrm... One question that I have in regards to clarity: at what point do Artorias' armor and pendant get to where they can't completely mitigate damage? Also, what exactly are the effects of the second ring you mentioned? Supplementing an unbendable will is kinda... Vague, all things considered.
The armour's actually not that... great; it's just some well-made plate. Shield's good for turtling, though, but why the hell would you try and attack through that enormous shield?
Funnily enough, the pendant doesn't mitigate anything. It can be activated to deflect dark magic, though. And all the dark magic in the game is black and obviously evil, so most stuff will bypass it. Not, I imagine, necromancy and stuff.
As for the second ring... basically? It boils down to 'even better pain threshold'. Probably helps against mind control, but obviously not perfectly.
Well, given our current cast count... Two more in Blazblue, three in RE. I'd recommend against putting all of your chars into one basket, so... Yeah. Also for equality purposes. Gotta give everyone a chance for a slot.
Okay, we've got a few people (namely @Mr_pink, @clanjos, and @Nerevarine) that need to pick a place to go. I'll move Blazblue ahead if one more joins there, for all the people involved in that world.
Personality: Shirabe can be calm and quiet, often to the point of seeming to be emotionless. This can also lead to her being overly serious in outright comical situations. She also tendency to just glare at people if she thinks they’re being dumb.
History: Shirabe is your fairly average schoolgirl. Apart from being a former member of the FIS terror network. And the wielder of a magical relic that can destroy monsters known as Noise when powered by singing. And the former vessel of the soul of an ancient mad scientist which was destroyed when she blocked her not-my-girlfriend-honest's attempt at using a magic scythe to kill herself. So not really all that average at all.
Abilities: Shirabe carries and uses the relic Shul Shagana, which when activated with her song manifests in large numbers of buzzsaws. These can come from a number of places, typically the armoured covers over her twintails, but they can also form from more unorthodox places like her skirt. Or a yo-yo. These saws can also be used for rapid transportation, either by forming a monowheel type vehicle, by forming a pair of rotor blades allowing for flight, or by a small pair extending out of her boots to act like rollerblades.
