"Super" is WAY beyond the word I'd use. Even if the Disadvantages cancel out, too much min/maxing destroys campaigns. This is a min/max fiend. I like the concept a lot, huge FF fan, but we need to curtail things. You will be able to get everything here, and way, way more, over time. I know you want things as they are, but greedy player syndrome must be curtailed and I do have to put my foot down in this campaign in particular . I will throw you into the action, but I hope you won't begin much fighting.

That equipment set is insane. I'd be willing to let you have ONE, maybe two, blade(s) with a Disadvantage that you lost all that stuff (noting its dots and so on) and you'd later be able to find them again. The blade(s) would CERTAINLY not be One Winged Angel. Remember: A shinigami is DEFINED by having a legendary blade, and the Laventine is a unique weapon for Fayt (as is the Master Sword for Link), and that's as high as I've allowed people to have. The Laventine is even sealed! You could have two of those weapons with the note that they have all sorts of powers and capabilities beyond your current ability to wield.

Regarding the Hunteds: First of all, most of those are from the FF continuity and aren't true here. The Reunion would have to be some similar cult or group. I would also like to strike Sin and Jenova, really. Second, I don't really want that many, if you can find other Disadvantages I'd be happier (maybe anemia? unusual vulnerability to cold? an allergy of note?). More Hunteds just give me more to do and manage and usually don't add too much additional impact (two is the most I like to have), especially if it's possible to turn each Hunter group against each other.

The Amnesia: What actual disadvantages does it give the character? Will traumatic memories pop up at inconvenient times in battle? Does his skill set suffer a random fail chance because you forgot a key part of your existing skills? If it's just a palpable sense of loss, that sucks for the character, but it might earn you one dot at best and I will be quite devilish. I should also note that people who play RP-based Negative Traits well will earn my favor in a variety of ways, so if you really make the fact that you are amnesiac a disadvantage just the way you play your character don't be surprised if a dot comes your way. At the moment, it only gets you maybe a dot until you give me an actual meta-game (i.e. something that might modify dice rolls) reason it affects you. The flashbacks are one such disadvantage, put that right under Amnesia since the two are related.

The Mako Sickness is fine.

What does a dark signature to your aura do? Make people think you're a demon or something evil? Make you vulnerable to some degree of holy attacks? Etc.

If you want to get more Negatives, why not stat negatives? A negative to Charisma or Empathy would make sense if you're channeling Cloud or Squall or even Cecil pre-Paladin.

I should also note just as a general thing: Over time your Archetype will let you develop classic abilities from the games, i.e. Cover, GP Toss, Deathblow, etc. I'd also like a little more of the FF4-6 character to bleed through too.

okay lowered the equipment to brotherhood and caldbog but kept the one winged angel as it is only a combination of the two and since it is only two it makes it much weaker in general and also like cloud it useually isnt used at its full power unless necissary anyway.

took off some of the hunteds and changed corporation to enemy of the goverment (to represnt the empier in ff3)

flashbacks was moved under amnesia

dark signature makes it to where people sensitive to dark energy and can sense it can find him at a much farther range then he would like it also give a minor weakness to holy.

hope that makes it better.

Yeah, the ONW is just an ability, you don't need to put four dots into it.

Like the concept there: Is that the Japanese or the American government? I'd say the American government.

The DM materia sounds like a two point D/A, then, since you will be dealing with demon hunters, Shinigami, Spirit Detectives, etc.

[deathfromabove]

thank you and american sounds good to me.

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Good. Now I just need to know: Are you in Japan to hide? What brings you here? I think I know what you're going to be doing, just want to know the motivation so I can really tailor it.

[deathfromabove]

probably taking a "vacation" away from america probably looking for something interesting to do most likly invovling a cute girl (or multiple) and bad guy ya know just like all the final fantasy games.

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Totally. All right, post what you were doing.
