If he ever finds out about it, Musashi is going to insistently demand the secret to learning Daler's immense level of power.

Specifically, his godly power over curry.

I actually had a potential alternative mentor already lined up that I'm working on.

By the way, are we just limited to the powers or moves we came up with as a start? I'm mostly asking because I like when you can come up with new ideas over the course of the game, or learn things in character or with help from the mentors.

Also, just so excited for this, it seems awesome.

Musashi Sakai, totally a ninja!

Name: Musashi Sakai

Age: 10

Gender: Male

Personality: Musashi has a very odd and excitable personality most of the time, as in addition to being an often hyperactive ball of energy he has the unusual quirk of insisting to everyone in the academy that he's really a ninja and was raised in a secret village of ninjas, even though that's far from accurate. Overall, he's an odd kid with an obsession with and love of ninjas, and cobbled together his outfit after being told he was going to the Institute to 'learn to unlock his true potential and become awesome'. Despite his often cheerful, carefree and sunshine-y attitude, during fights another side of him refined through his training comes out and he becomes much more focused with all of his usual energy and nonstop high-speed thought turning towards analyzing the situation at hand. He's very determined to become a strong fighter despite his small size, young age and numerous eccentricities, both to make his parents proud and because frankly, it sounds like a cool and fun goal to become the strongest fighter in the Institute and make friends doing it.

Backstory: Despite all claims to the contrary, Musashi is not actually a ninja, but instead the son of a pair of instructors at a modern day martial arts school specializing in koryu, traditional Japanese martial arts. As a result, he'd already been training for years to one day inherit the family business and become a martial arts instructor himself one day by the time his powers as an Augmenter manifested. Aside from the incredibly strict training reigmen he was put through daily, his parents allowed him to lead a fairly normal life most of the time, or at least as normal as anyone's life can be when they spend most of their day training with sharp implements and joint locks. The exception to this was an annual training excursion, where once a year they would go out into the wilderness and 'exploit traditional training and survival methods.

Musashi's power first manifested during one such trip, when he was briefly separated from his parents and accidentally ran into a bear. With his perception of the bear's movements massively enhanced, he was able to avoid the bear's attacks and defeat it without a scratch barehanded, to the relief and astonishment of his parents when they came upon the scene. Given such a shocking development it was only natural that his parents were thrilled if a little apprehensive when representatives of the Institute arrived claiming they could properly hone his talents. Musashi was even more thrilled and much less nervous, convinced that this meant he was going to be either a superhero or a real ninja, rather than just a martial artist. His insistence on the unusual outfit and enthusiastic enrollment at the academy were the dual results.

Appearance: I'm totally a serious ninja

Equipment: one shorter sword and one longer one, occasionally wielded together, are his primary weapons when it comes to armed combat, although he also has a jitte, plus a number of shuriken that are meant more as a distraction than anything else, though his powers allow him to throw with superhuman accuracy.

Abilities: Despite his young age, Musashi is a surprisingly skilled martial artist in excellent physical condition for a child, with years of constant private training by two extremely skilled martial artists to draw on. He's skilled in both old-style jujitsu when it comes to unarmed combat and numerous classical styles of Japanese weaponry including the use of swords, spears, the jitte, the bow, and unusually and likely at his own insistence, shurikenjutsu. He also has incredible reflexes even without using his power and can keep up with his own enhanced sense of sight purely through training, although there are naturally still things that happen too quickly for him to relax. As a result of his training, he has a decent knowledge of human anatomy and biology, though focused through the lens of martial arts. At his mother's insistence, he's also learned to cook, though he's much less interested in cooking than fighting.

Channeller category: Augmenter

Description of power: Ultimate Iris-Musashi's only current power, he enhances his eyes in order to greatly speed up the amount of visual information he's capable of processing at one time, or from his perspective, is able to see things in slow motion and in great detail. Eventually this might expand into being able to see an opponent's pressure points, or seeing the structural weaknesses of objects in order to exploit them. It could also theoretically allow him to copy an opponent's physical movements to learn the physical components of their fighting styles, and have numerous indirect applications.

Names/descriptions of moves:

Shuriken Surprise!: Musashi uses his ability to precisely track the motion of his shuriken to deflect one with another, causing them to strike from unexpected angles.

Precision Paralyzer!: If he can learn to see pressure points and strike fast and precisely enough, Musashi might eventually be able to weaken or temporarily paralyze a person's limbs by striking their pressure points quickly enough.

Bushido Breaker!: Musashi would have to study a target for an extended period of time after developing his power to a high level, but might be able to find the weak-points in any object in order to shatter through it or cut it in a single strike.

Character theme song: I haven't found a themesong for him yet, but I'll definitely take suggestions!

Fair enough, sounds like it'll be fine then

Also, I would recommend any of these Naruto OST tracks for his theme (last one is probably the best). Like I said, Naruto OST is maybe a little on the nose, but they do fit pretty well I think

@tipssyCalibrator

Eh, I'll probably be using him to homage and poke fun at Naruto a fair bit, so I guess it's fine.

Institute for Young Channellers (Shounen Battle School Anime RP) (Always accepting)

I did notice their similarities in terms of personality, but I agree that they're different enough to still be workable. I'm also considering the fact that despite being immature and odd, he's actually more likely than not a fairly cerebral character in terms of how he fights and approaches obstacles, and over time as he matures emotionally and learns to take things seriously, he'll probably be quite a bit different.

FTFY

@Mercurial

Thankfully, he's got a fairly opposite personality, I'm no-way-in-hell going to let him become a power copier, and it's got a bit more Byagukan mixed in too, if we're gonna start throwing Naruto comparisons around.

plus, the name's basically 'what would a dorky 10/11 year old think is a good name for an eye-based power, so invoking that reaction means it worked.

Right, sorry it took me so long to jump in on this, but now that the OOC is up, I'm in 100%

Have a few ideas for students or maybe a teacher.

Strange Gospel: An Urban Fantasy RP

Soma Yuuichi

Name: Soma Yuuichi

Age: 29

Gender: Male

Appearance: like this

Personality: A crusader for justice and safety, but with a realist streak, Detective Soma has been fascinated by crime and the sometimes dangerous nature of human beings after a childhood incident left him emotionally scarred, but dedicated himself to becoming a top-notch police officer in order to protect people from those who give in to either one. He's driven to excellence in the hopes that he never has to face failure in protecting others. To that end, he even strives to act like a kindly and dependable authority figure, always ready to help out his community in whatever way he can.

Skills: Detective Soma is a skilled marksman and aikidoka as part of his training as a detective. He's also naturally ambidextrous and has a fairly keen investigative mind and knowledge

Equipment: His five-shot service revolver, chambered in .38 special, a collapsible baton, proof that he's a detective.

Soul Arts: A medium-sized shield gained from a chip inserted into his right hand's palm. The shield is incredibly durable and can neutralize damage from most forms of harm it comes into contact with instantly, even some things that might not usually be blocked by a simple piece of metal. Because of its extreme durability, it also has some use as a bashing weapon, though naturally its main focus is to protect its wielder and others from harm.

Brief Backstory: Soma Yuuichi lived the life of a fairly ordinary child until he was around nine years old and all of that was shattered. His mother was murdered, and poor Yuuichi was the one to find her body. The murderer was never found, and the crime stayed unsolved and eventually went cold. Naturally the experience scarred and deeply affected the young boy, but he decided to try and channel it positively, vowing to become the country's best police officer and prevent or catch any and all evildoers who might do something like that to anyone else.

In the years since, he's become one of the fastest rising special investigators, especially with his work regarding homicides. Volunteering for and being chosen to work the Strange Gospel case and investigate the disappearances occurring to uncover the truth behind them isn't just a career move for him, but a chance to save innocent lives and stop 'bad guys'.
