Everyone's wanting to be a rusher and I'm just over here listening to Hendrix and staring out into the distance.

Charlie's out there somewhere...

@Massasauga

Mhm. And the wind cries "Mary".

Possibly! We'll have to wait until the OoC/IC goes up, probably.

Super speedy and super damage-y character with a shotgun and SMG.

Wandering Flame, Homura

Appearance

Name: Homura

Gender: Female

Age: 26

Race: Draph

Element: Fire

Dream: "My dream? To fight the strongest warrior the skies have ever known. Living, dead...it doesn't matter."

Home: Homura is from a small, remote island in the easternmost skies of the world. The island's aesthetic and culture is very similar, if not identical to, those of Japan, especially the feudal era. In its native language, the island's name means "Shrike".

Gimmicks: Homura is an adept and fierce sword fighter who specializes in settling scuffles with a single blindingly fast slash; a fighting style known as "iaijutsu". The first strike means everything. If the fight doesn't immediately end after Homura's first slash, she switches her tactics to confusing the opponent with swift movements, waiting for an opportunity to present itself where she can finish the battle with a few more strokes of her blade.

Personality: Homura is a lone wolf, through and through. She's usually quite aloof, not one to strike up a conversation out of the blue because of friendly intentions. As a result, she often keeps her true thoughts and feelings to herself, only revealing them when she knows the other person or people in the conversation are trustworthy. Given the opportunity to be by herself, however, and she is constantly focused on one thing: Becoming stronger. Whether it be to protect those she cares for or surpass the beliefs and expectations of her peers and elders, Homura constantly works herself to the bone to become as strong as she can be. Some even say that the support of those she can truly consider friends motivates her to work even harder.

Background: Homura was born as the youngest sibling of four to a pair of veteran warriors for parents. As a result, she was always being pushed to overcome her older brothers and sister, which began developing a bit of an inferiority complex inside of her psyche. Every day, she would train with her peers and superiors, with the majority of fights ending in losses for Homura, at least for a while. Eventually, though she didn't quite reach the same caliber as her older siblings, she decided that she had reached a point where any other fighters on her island home weren't on the same level as her or above, and set out to sail across the skies as a wanderer, searching for stronger and stronger opponents to temper her strength as a warrior.

Homura's penchant for actively seeking out powerful foes and challenging them to duels has, on multiple occasions, resulted in bad situations for her. Most recently, a public, large-scale scuffle that involved multiple people resulted in Homura being thrown into Ziggurat, where she now waits, planning her escape.

Inventory: Homura's inventory consists of Ichigekimaru, her prized katana, a few bottles of sake (AKA rice wine), and her "armor", traditional clothing from her island that discards defense in favor of maneuverability.

Right, that makes sense. Thank you!

Granblue Fantasy: Rhapsody in Red

Question: When you say to "keep your element in mind" for gimmicks, do you mean for us to somehow incorporate it into our fighting style, or just make sure that the element doesn't contradict the focus of said fighting style?

Granblue Fantasy: Rhapsody in Red

Imma reserve Fire, if you don't mind!

Saori Nishihara/Dokurohime

Real World Character

Name: Saori Nishihara; usually uses "dokuro24" as a username for forums and the like

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Appearance

Short Bio: Saori grew up in Akihabara, Tokyo, the only daughter of two parents who were both very big fans of video games of all kinds. Together, the family frequented various arcades in the region whenever they weren't too busy with their jobs or school work. Eventually, when she was much older, Saori applied for a job of her own in the area and ended up working in a maid cafe because she had "the right equipment for the job", as her employer put it. As much as she wasn't keen on the idea of having her cursed body essentially being used as eye candy, the job payed well enough for her to get away with spending the rest of the day at home. Considering how absorbed she was into GBO, she really needed a well-paying job if she was to play it just about every day of the week and still be able to pay her bills.

Gun Burst Online Character

Name: Dokurohime

Gender: Female

Appearance

Level: 90

Skills:
-SMG Skill MAX
-Shotgun Skill MAX
-3000 Points left over

Specs:
-Improved Speed x3
-Improved Reflexes x3
-Fast Aim

Signature Weapon/Combat Style: Saori specializes in speed and raw damage output, her weapons of choice being the Heckler & Koch MP5A3 for peppering foes with rapid fire SMG bullets and the Franchi SPAS-12 for pump-action shotgun mayhem. While running around like a blur on the battlefield, she catches her targets off-guard with a barrage of SMG fire and finishes them off with her shotgun when they're at their most vulnerable. Saori has said on 2channel and various forums in the past that the strategy more or less came from an old class-based team FPS she used to play, with a few minor differences here and there.

Inventory:
-8000 Credits
-600 Photonic Crystals
-A scope attachment for her MP5A3

Sample Post

Saori gave a sigh as she clicked through the various tabs she had open in her browser. She figured she had enough GBO for one night, and needed something to distract her in the meanwhile. Thankfully, 2channel and some of the forums she frequented were good places to visit for a quick laugh. One particular 2ch thread, however, left a bad taste in Saori's mouth.

"are any of the gbo players here with female characters actually girls irl? i cant go 2 matches without finding an insanely stacked chick with an ak47 or other such assault rifle"

"OP, I hope you realize how the internet works"

"i do. girls are guys in real life" Saori couldn't help but chuckle, but it still left a bad taste in her mouth. This kind of problem needed immediate attention.

"Girls have means of escapism, too, y'know. Some of us just share them with guys. There's a reason the character I play as doesn't have big boobs like I do." Immediately after posting that, Saori realized she had made a big mistake.

"big boobs? hot"

"haha, funny joke, tell us about the one with the running refrigerator next"

"And here I thought the thread wouldn't get any more degenerate once someone spoke up. I'm out" Saori felt the same way, and decided to back off of 2channel for the night. Instead, she figured it'd be wise if she checked for any news on the upcoming Bullet Break tournament. A better use of her time, for sure.

Just a place for me to test certain functions and stash WIPs. Probably should've made one sooner, but better late than never, eh?
