For the sake of uniformity, I would prefer you used english attack names. Obviously the characters are speaking japanese, but as we're not all fluent speakers of the language, i would just prefer we stick to english.

Aki's fingers curl and tighten the grip of the amathite crystal, as he narrows his eyes. Hard pressing each word, he grunts "Ryuseiken!" And the crystal flashes with people light, turning into a sword! Next, in a blink, Aki appears behind his foe, having delivered a thousand strikes! Aki makes the motion of sheathing the sword, which turns into the small fragment of amathite it was before, as the noise creature dissipates

Agreed. Replace with "Meteor sword attack!"EpicEclipse wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 3:00 pmFor the sake of uniformity, I would prefer you used english attack names.

Re: Interest Check [OVA]
How about this? I was picturing it a bit like a spell for the big ones like this.Ryochi's eyes flash behind his mask as he holds his pen like a conductor's baton. "Tall and proud, the barbarian Brutus raises his sword..." Ink seeps fourth from the brass tip , hands moving slowly and methodically as the story took hold. "For there was no foe he could not best, no man, monster, or god who could surpass his strength...!" The kanji formed in mid-air, his words forming the basis of this minor epic. In a flash, the words burnt with white fire to match their auhtor's own. Each kanji shot forward in a uniform blitz, making a straight bee line into memory devoruing monstrosities before them. "Tirade Of A Thousand Words!" He called fourth as the words impacted to cause a small explosion of light, carving a swath of destruction in their ranks.

Re: Interest Check [OVA]
So for the uniforms when transformed, thinking something along these lines;
As you can see, while there is a general design similarity, there is also plenty of personalized variety. You obviously don't have to pick one of those to represent your character, it's just meant to be a reference for the style of transformed outfit.
I am still working on the stats for the transformed form, but it's definitely going to give at least 2 ranks of Tough for extra HP and Vigorous for extra Energy. So by all means don't worry about adding weaknesses like Lethargic or Frail. Your transformed state will augment this.

What about this? Had the same military uniform feel, if more simple

Ey, works for me. For personalization, how about the jacket is longer and flowing, accompanied by the mask from that furst picture? Something to invoke the image of a spellcaster is all.

Can't actually see the picture in question. :/ Probably the hosting site.

So mask like that with a long-tailed (probably a wide hemmed one at that) military style coat, I can dig it.
Ascots are underrated, though it does take a certain type to work it. That said, I think the picture works well enough.

Re: Interest Check [OVA]
Is there a specific number of "points" our characters should be built on before the transformation? Should we just tell you the attributes and weaknesses we want, and you'll decide how many we get?

I'm not too concerned about it. As I mentioned before, you want the sum of your abilities to be within 5 of the sum of your weaknessesRainOnTheSun wrote: ↑Sun Jun 24, 2018 2:15 am Is there a specific number of "points" our characters should be built on before the transformation?

Re: Interest Check [OVA]
Within 5? I thought it was an exact. Might have some spare to play with then...

Re: Interest Check [OVA]
I mean, I COULD be super strict and say it has to be 0 Sum, but the default mode has it at a loose match, as long as you are within 5, you're good.Doctor Malsyn wrote: ↑Sun Jun 24, 2018 2:30 am Within 5? I thought it was an exact. Might have some spare to play with then...
All I ask is you be sparing about rank 4 and 5 abilities and rank 3 weaknesses. Have a really good reason for them. You'll also have Transform, a few ranks of it in fact, but I wouldn't worry about it too much, since it's a mandatory thing I'm adding.
