[quote=@tobiax] Three things, but firstly- Who could hate this?[hider= warning, cute sloth] [img]http://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/cute-sloths-57f269182f5ab__700.jpg[/img][/hider] The others being, and don't take this the wrong way- the line between allusion and plagiarism; and I'm getting Mary Sue vibes?(I hope I'm wrong.) Specifically: Hyperbole or just OP? Also, for being proclaimed to be "not proud and haughty", he's totally haughty and proud. (Although I can understand if that was the point. But the dry sense of humor isn't surprising really. It'd be more unexpected if he had a rather boisterous one.) Sorry, but I felt something needed to be said. Plus I don't like leaving the thread dead for too long. I'm a bit of a spazz, for that I may have to apologize in the future. Also, just so it doesn't slip past anyone's notice, no offense [@EmzyOfNeverland], but rather I want to have your back on this- how is he able to just form Dust at will without using a Semblance that's meant to do that? I'm baffled, so please inform me if I'm missing something. Also, fair warning [@Crimmy], Aven will inevitably come at odds with your character as he stands now. Like, even if I wanted not to, I couldn't stop it because of the way Aven deals with things and how your character is. Not saying you, like, need to change anything, just letting you know. I'm not trying to be mean, I just don't want certain issues to rip the RP apart from the inside if that can be helped. [/quote] Haughty and arrogant aren't necessarily synonymous with pride. Like, he's really proud of his skills, and he basically considers himself to be very good at it. He just doesn't go around being all conceited and smugly superior about it or exaggerate it too much. Of course, he does seem to tilt in that direction a lot. On the Dust manipulation thing, he basically just grabs dust from his quiver thing and turns them into arrows.

Canonically, Cinder's fire powers aren't related that much to her ability to play with Dust either.

Specifically: Hyperbole or just OP?[/quote] The Arjuna I'm going for here is more of a zealous paladin type who wants to cleanse the world of sin rather than the mythological Arjuna's actually haughty, ridiculously prideful brat (starting shit with Karna, starting shit with Hanuman, starting shit with a lot of folks), although I guess there might be similarities between him and Arjuna later in the poem, where the guy's humbled out a bit after having Krishna as a sidekick. Don't really have that great a grasp on the latter chapters of the [i]Mahabharata[/i] though. I do admit 100% that the Gandiva is basically an incredibly nerfed version of the mythological Arjuna's actual Gandiva. The one hundred and eight bowstrings, the ability to fire multiple arrows at once, the amplification of arrow strength. He can try firing a huge number of arrows at once, but he can't actually blot out the sun. That's hyperbole. The rumbling thunder is also a hyperbolic description of how loud it can be. The range isn't though. I decided to model the actual range of the thing off a rocket launcher (which I guess is what it's trying to be, just a bow that shoots arrows that hit really hard), and those things do have mile-long ranges.
