The creature was rather friendly and Soka was happy to see it. However, soon a much larger creature appeared and Soka became frightened. Fearing that the large creature would hurt him or some of the other humans nearby, instinct inside of Soka activated a hidden flow of power. Soon a gateway seal (somewhat similar to a portal) was opened up by Soka and the large creature was sucked into it. When the seal vanished, so did the beast. (It still isn't confirmed whether these unique seals lead to a neutral plane, another dimension or even Excaledvol itself) > > Soka was frightened by this whole event, though the humans nearby that saw it were relieved and commended him for his actions. However, it turned out that the large creature was the small Exbeast's family member and the small peaceful Exbeast broke into tears. > > Soka tried to comfort it, but the creature pulled away in anger and ran off. > It was that day that Soka determined to figure out why these creatures had come to Earth, and a way to get them back to their home world safely. This being his first and most memorable encounter with the Exbeasts, Soka's view of them is unbalanced, as he has yet to witness the wrath and force of the more aggressive types. > > This memory is particularly strong and important in Soka's mind. The satisfaction of the humans smiling and admiring when he had accidentally cast the beast into the mysterious seal. Tearing the two creatures from one another in a matter of moments. > Soka often reflects on that day, and his fellow humans' selfish laughter... > > To him, the bond the two Exbeast's had shared was much more beautiful. > > > Statistics: > > Level - 1 > > HP - 140 > > MP - 140 > > Attack - 5 > > Magic - 15 > > Speed - 12 > > Accuracy - 8 > > Defense - 7 > > Evasion - 17 > > Resistance - 8 > > Spells/Skills: Gate Seal [2] - > > _"The time has come for me to stand.

I like his backstory and how it addresses the logical issue of the many ways of dealing with Excaledvol's presence, but I'm not really digging the gate spell because it completely removes an opponent from combat. Though the long casting setup and cooldown seem intended to balance it, it's basically a one-hit kill even if it leaves the enemy alive inside the rift. What if it was only a temporary trap that the enemy will break out of after a set amount of time? The Gate opens and sucks them in, then bars or chains or something snap across the opening, caging them? Then, after a set interval, they're able to break free, or if they have a high level of power they can break free sooner? For Defense Wall, the only real problem I see with it is that it doesn't address how big the wall he creates is and how varied its structure can be. Like, could he create a stone ring around them to completely seal them off from the enemy? Could he make the Great Wall of China? Obviously that's hyperbole but do you see what I'm getting at? Overall though I like it, just needs some tweaking. Good work!
