Notes: Jiren is almost never called by his real name. More often than not, he is called Jeez or called merely Sanzo.
Disposition: Almost always with a more complex way of thought, Jeez is seen as more of a Protoman of sorts.
Appearance: Long black hair with a tint of blue-tied back into a ponytail mostly. He wears a Sanzo's garb in an unorthodox fashion, prefering to keep the robe pulled down to his waist so that the only thing covering his chest is the longsleeved black undershirt, He has a scroll draped on his shoulders, they drape down past his upper chest. The scroll is called the Ietan Scripture, and has the power to absorb darkness and empower its user. He is tall, thin, but his presence usually commands reverance among mortals. Occasionally wears the crown of Sanzo upon his head, if the situation calls for it.
Eye Color (if any eyes): Blue
Hair Color (if any hair): Blackish-Blue
Distinguishing Marks: Scar on the back and front of his shoulder, same place in relative to his body, looking like a bullet wound.

THANK YOU FRED! XD

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

We ain't done. First off, is this gonna be a Colossus character?

*Accustomize yourself with the world. Here is an excerpt from the initial file:

« Crashing Heavens Abdicates

It has been merely a few years since the destruction of the All-Monster. Thrash Ranari, Badcat Xiang, Xenocratis Venificum Secutor, Fred Lumina-Weise, Firebrand the Red Blaze, Dragon Lancer, Ebony of the White Heart, Sylphana Rossis, and untold numbers more have passed into fame and fortune. With the ringing of the Golden Knight’s final words, “Let this be the final battle”, has passed an old age, and into a new. People reminesce over the rapid change: the United States’ Cryo program coming to an end, attempts at world peace and revolutionary change finally becoming plausible, demons and humans living in harmony, Hell itself becoming a place for redemption and not for punishment.
Unfortunately, the Old Guard, the term coined by Badcat himself regarding him and his colleagues, is now so in demand throughout the universe and through untold time periods that they can do very little. Too much of their time is spent managing, preserving the current gains, defending, and preparing the world for hope and happiness. And all new eras are won, regrettably, partially in blood.
For political and economic change, heroes have no place. Now the Old Guard has become bureaucrats, administrators, instead of riding out in the glorious Ranger’s Wings, preparing to save the universe from they who seek to control Fate. Crashing Heavens is almost officially disbanded – the Rangers almost becoming a charity organization. But there is still work for heroes to do. Not all is well in the transition to the new age, and the vacuum left by the departing Old Guard has made an exciting new time for heroines and heroes of all ilks.
Needless to say, your characters belong in this time period. Now a name can be made for oneself. You have been selected by the original Crashing Heavens to fill their shoes and help to create a new world. You are the clichéd best and brightest.
In the words of Badcat, now a premier quipster, “Go out and kick some new ass.””>

*Come up with an initial sketch of the character concept, including
-Ethical Archetype
-Hobbies
-History
-Physical description
-Disposition
-Quirks
-Family members and friends
-Resources, contacts and interests
*Determine your Race (Races are listed, in part, in Rifts, FB and CotG sections; in addition, any race can be converted or created): Races give starting Affinities, Attributes, Rank Boosts (that which are used to raise attributes) and Class Points
*Determine Traits (see the Traits thread: generally, things that set the person aside from others, such as unique genetic abilities, supersoldier training, insanities, behavioral quirks or defects, etc.) In your case, your Trait Points can add up to 5, instead of the normal 0. You automatically add Red Mage (10), Martial Artist (10), Veneficium Secutor (5), Dragon Thief (5), Thrash Ahmoqa (5), White Witch (5) and Paladin (5) because those are the Communal Classes.
*Determine Classes (a certain amount of Class Points from your race plus 70 from past experience since you are coming into a high power campaign; Classes are listed in both the Class List and Classes threads under Rules). Class Points should end up totalling 200-300 CPs.
*Choose 10 trainers from the Old Guard (i.e. anyone from pretty much any continuity, from Worf to Raistlin to D'rrizt)
*From the trainers, classes, etc. determine your Skills and Merits (Merits are basically Feats, Skills are enumerated as %s), as well as Affinities (Ki, Magic, Psi, Tech). Skill %s should end up adding to 30,000%, 725% is the max in any one skill (and only in rare cases: limit of five skills at the most and only at my approval). A good rule of thumb for Merits is 5 Forbidden 2/Transgressive, 20 Forbidden, 50 Legendary and 100 Normal.
*You are given 20 million GP (equivalent of 2 billion dollars) from Crashing Heavens funds to buy equipment, Rank Boosts/Class Points (100,000 per Rank Boost or Class Point), Affinities (100,000 per 10 points - this is explained in more detail in the rules section), etc.
*After determing trainers, classes, etc. determine abilities. You get 1 Forbiddens (Forbiddens being abilities like Meganuke, Ultima 2, etc.) per 1.5 Class Points, 5 Forbidden 2s from your unique ability set (Forbidden 2s are abilities the next exponential level up, abilities like Jin's Chronanova which uses raw speed to create an area of non-existence and launches it as a physical attack at foes), and 1 F2 from each trainer. In addition, some Traits will provide in the neighborhood of 5-15 Fs and sometimes an F2, and CH PCs receive the Communal Abilities plus 10 Martial Arts Forbiddens and 10 Forbiddens per elemental spirit (in this case,
*See Group Resources and add what is listed there at the bottom. In particular, those are:
-Job Gem and Tome Classes
-Transformation from the Energon Disc (one bestial, one mechanical)
-3 alchemical conctions, F2 power
-Dark-Light Path
-Various Communal Abilities, Merits, Skills, etc. In the case of Communal Skills, if you have the Skill in question, reimburse yourself the amount given by Communals. I.e. PC Bob was planned to have Shotgun 700%. The team's skills include Shotgun at 300%. PC Bob spends only 400% on the Shotgun skill total and thus gets 300% extra to spend.
-
*Finish the character concept, history, etc. now that you have all of your current statistics fleshed out. That should include:
-Zodiac Sign
-Blood Type (if applicable)
-Personal Totem
-Patron God (if any)
-Crashing Heavens Room
-Crashing Heavens Code Name
-The Guardian Force and Magicite you've chosen from the team
-Your relations to any other CH NPC or PC and any Apprentices you'd like to have

*intrudes* Now you're making me want to demand my creation of Tsuotu on here!!

*runs away*

[zeebedee]

lol! We could do a co campaign with Tsuotu and Jeez (BTW, Jeez is the charra from our old RP, I just forgot his other names. XDXDXD)

It'd be cool to see her on here, although from the rp, I haven't really seen her fight so....

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Tsuotu could be a character instead of Staccato, Ms. Deimonai.

So I put up the styles that use scythes: Way of the Whirlwind, Gentle Peasant, Tiger Guard, Shinigami no Oshie, Shinigami no Teisei. Add those? And from guns, you'll also want GM-Slinger (Gun/Magic Slinger), Gun Ki Master... Anything else?

[zeebedee]

Add those, also for my trainers, if I'm not maxed out, I want the Reaper, archangel Michael and for guns have Yuna-FF10-2, Vincent, and any other things you could think of.

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

That's 8, there's 2 left, you still wanna be a priest right? Get some priestly and animistic people.

Also: I recommend you make a Unique or Secret Class, martial arts style primarily, your own gun or scythe style (or both).

[zeebedee]

Allright, I hereby decree that he is a secret class.

His class will be Scythestorr, if that isn't taken already.
The way I see it is that the only problem with using both a gun and scythe is that a scythe is a two handed weapon, usually demanding use of both hands for balance and power, but I plan to counter this using momentum. By smashing the gun against the scythe, it will cause it to smack forward. Through more intensive training, he has learned to perfect the accuracy and -this being key- is able to guide the scythe after momentum is established due to built up muscles and a lower amount of gravity around him. This opens up him for some pretty savage attacks, the easiest coming to mind would be like a scythe buster, where he continues his assault by keeping the momentum of the scythe to sort of sheild him by slashing a bit of ways while shooting his gun through the pinpoint openings. Also, Scythetorr has the ability to negate attacks with his gun, seeing as how he can stop a scythe moving at almost unbelievable speeds. I'm still working on it, and this is my idea. Is it any good? Also, one more thought to the scythetorr- he incorperates the absorption of darkness in somewhere.......powering up the spirit/banishing gun?
Also, my last two trainers will be Althena (Lunar 1) and .....damn I don't know any GOOD priests.....>.<

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

All sounds fun. Add CPs to this.

[zeebedee]

First CP would have to be

Mantis blade -where all weapons sprout the mantis spines.

Doppleganger (communal form)- creating (1) doppleganger for each party member

Eternal darkness- The entire battlefield becomes covered in darkness


are those ok?

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Those are abilities, and those sound fine.

[zeebedee]

I'm obviously not getting the whole CP thing if those are abilities.

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

CPs = Class Points. Did this get clarified over the phone to your satisfaction? Either way, you still need:

*6 trainers
*5 F2 Merits, 30 F Merits
*A full Dark-Light path
*Energon Disc forms
*Forbiddens and F2s
*Skills
*Cybernetics, Symbiotes, Bio-Wizardry, Tattoos, etc. if used (probably not I imagine, though possibly Yakuza tattoos)
*Equipment
*Personal Totem
*Zodiac Sign: Oriental and Occidental
*Job Gem and Tome choices
*DIO
*3 alchemical concoctions

[zeebedee]

Shit, I dunno. Aren't there some filler or recommended stuffs to put in that category? @_@

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Well, for trainers, at the moment you have 4 scythe trainers. Zasalmel sort of doubles as a holy trainer (and gives nasty reincarnation abilities). So I'd recommend 3 gun and 3 priest trainers, but maybe replace a priest or gun trainer with a utility trainer (something that gives you more variety).

Merits of course have a lot of options, but check out the Merit list, I added some F2 Merits. Options include weapon specialization (such as Pistol or Scythe), combat range specializations, maybe the afteraffects of a special shrine he visited (Merits can include little quest bonuses that are otherwise impossible to classify, like in RPGs where you get a random +10 to an attribue for beating some special boss), elemental or attack type resistances, etc.

You need to choose your Dark-Light paths first. Talk to me about examples. Basically, there are two branching paths. In your case, I'd say that Light would improve your priest powers and Dark would improve your weapon powers. Light-Light would make you a pure cleric, Light-Dark a battle priest (probably open up heavy armor and weapons), Dark-Light a sort of dark combat cleric, and Dark-Dark a pure weapons monster.

Energon Disc forms... ever seen Transformers? A machine and a beast form, basically like the original show and Beast Wars.

Forbiddens and F2s... well, you have ideas for that.

Skills are obvious: Things like Lore: Chinese Pantheons, Scythe, Pistols, etc.

Cybernetics can include things like amplified reflexes. Symbiotes things like the Venom symbiote, the Electrone and the Elom (both electric-power providing symbiotes), etc.

Personal Totem... well, I'll make this easy. Fred's is Iron Dolphin. See the idea?

Need anything else?
