It was misses speedy sorry.

No you wouldn't actually.

A one trick pony is like saying you have one tactic and thats it. It gets very very boring. oh so you shot him in the back of the head after lying to him again. Neat now do something else.

Now having one strength and that's it is a whole nother story and actually adds depth and intrigue to the character.

So ichigo is a perfect example of the bad side of generalist. His weapon used to have depth and becool pre bancawhatever the fuck i was called.

He had clear powers and weaknesses.

Ichigos strenght. His blade was clumsy as fuck, but it really really hurt when you were hit. Why it was impressive when anybody in the series blocked it somehow. I remember when he originally fought baldy he struggled like all hell becasue his weapon was so defensive and fast ichigo could barely land a blow.

Post banqau all his bnqau actually does is cover up his weak spot which was his mobility and striking speed. It made his combat style incredibly bland and boring. His only option was "BE a OP main character." Rather then do something cleve.

That is a extreme example, but I felt it was a pretty good one to explain the difference, and how not being a generalist adds depth

Still, I do believe that that 'specialist' quality does indeed reside in the different and diverse abilities/powers of the characters presented thus far. Sure, they may be athletic, combat-oriented, super smart, or whatever else that makes them 'generalized' but I believe that as the RP progresses, we will see a fine line for each character that divides their strengths and weaknesses. From what I've gathered, I think @KoL has it set up where some characters may struggle against certain bosses, while others might prevail. Vice versa for when another boss is encountered later on.

Because of my near superhuman speed and Agility ? I wasn't gonna have Eiko be the flash or anything, just a little fast really and I'm currently editing her Cs at the moment.

I'm more or less going with the fact that your the most specialized as far as what you can do as well.

You can go fast, use guns....

Kinda reminds me of scout with robotic arm in tf2

I want to make a character who is a bard in a way, but I'm not sure what I should go for. Actor, singer, dancer, and news reproter all seem like good basic options, but modern bard is strange in any light.

Core strengths being the crazy buffing/debuffing of course.

Could be like Jimi Hendrix, a traveling vagrant magical gutair playing badass, the music from your gutair could give people boost of moral and strength, and I spelled Gutair wrong three times.

or you could be like April O'Neal, but who fights and tells the news how it is, minus the lesbo yellow jumpsuit and white boots, don't have a clue on how you could have your powers go through you.

My character really does't have any strengths... all weaknesses. I wonder how long I will be able to survive?

I like the idea of having the cafe be a chaser HQ as well, it reminds me of Anteiku from Tokyo ghoul.

@Lvl Down I feel as though you have a trick up your sleeve with this character of yours. I'll be waiting to see how he develops

I'm down for having a cafe as a front for an HQ, get some coffee before kicking some ass, or spanking someone's.

Shiina could always be your character's guardian of sorts. And no one wants to mess with a maid on duty.
