He is well known across all of Europe and even farther east in China and India. His status, of course, differs across the various regions, but for the most part, he remains a quiet, mysterious stranger who helps those in need and never demands an expensive price. The poor see him as a hero who gives more than he receives whilst the rich delight in his efficiency and discretion. But... the man is not without his enemies. Over the course of his career, many have tried to buy him into their crooked regime, but he wouldn't have any of it. Those with strong political clout have tried to label him as an insufferable scofflaw who mocks the law of the land. Maybe he does. Maybe he doesn't. In any case, he is becoming more active and seen, especially at Master Melody's Academy of Fine Arts. With Hazumi's relentless encouragements, he had finally submitted an application to the principal, Lily Quain. He was accepted on the condition that, given his mercenary job, he still teaches at least once a week. For the past few months, his classes have been known to include very strict combat training regimes that focus on survival and group tactics, whilst his lectures keep students on the edge of their seat as he shares stories with lessons to be learned. Although many students keep their distance from him in between classes, those who see past the mask realize that he's a gruff, lonely, but otherwise friendly old coot. [b]Relations[/b]: Genno has known several people over the course of his very long life. These are the most relevant ones for our story. [hider2=Rina Alice Genno] Long ago, in the town of Thorpe, which is located a mile between Loom and the Jiggerbark Forest below Jigger Mt. each way, Genno served dutifully as its sole constable (and governor). To keep a long dark story short, his niece, Rina, was given unto his care and for a time, they were the best of friends. Under the influence of a certain demonic soul stone, however, many things between them and in their lives were warped and perverted. Fortunately, it was stopped before it managed to destroy them completely. This is in part due to the influence of Mr. Solus Grim, for whom he has a lot of respect. In any case, he adores his niece and always seeks to protect her, and help her live a normal life that was better than the one she was initially raised in. But now he has no idea of her whereabouts, except that she is in the supernatural custody of Itzal Slyre...[/hider2] [hider2=Solus Grim] Solus and Genno first met in Thorpe, when the constable had hired out for help to defend the town against a growing threat that reeked with evidence of the undead. Genno was considerably hospitable to Mr. Grim, offering his private armory to him if he did a good job. He came to respect Solus greatly later that night when the Flesh Construct, Hodge, and his horde of spider-like flesh robots (Podges) assaulted Thorpe. In the end, the battle was won, even though Thorpe was horribly ravaged. The events had left him feeling very powerless and unable to truly make a real difference in the world. He was not content to leave it to the younger generations. It is for this reason that he sought a way to grow in power and be a beacon of safety for Rina. Of course, he had no idea that leaving her in Mr. Grim's care would help her fall in love with him. Unfortunately, he has no knowledge of [i]that[/i] fact.[/hider2] [hider2=Iotans] Near the end of the first Season of Essence, Genno mysteriously disappeared and left Rina alone, seeming to have abandoned her. But an Iotan known as Garnette sought out Solus Grim and delivered a message, along with written coordinates to a [i]secret location[/i] somewhere in Progaia. In short, Genno had joined the Empty Lord's faction, known as the Iotans. Ioi himself had impressed Genno with his logic, sincerity, and gentle albeit assertive nature. It was within the realm of Iota that he began to become an Iotan himself, but little did he know that Itzal Slyre was about to trick his Lord into being shattered. Fortunately, when Iota was destroyed and its inhabitants cast out (save for the Reclaimer), he was least affected, having not been fully immersed within Ioi's nature-changing system. In the aftermath of Judas Iscariot's death and the end of his tyrannical reign, the three highest Iotan elders took Genno and Layna Grace Kasio (Ioi's wife and Mairyell and Aeris' mother) to a local inn to conduct a meeting of what was to be done. The elders' names were Poe Medeth Kasteny, Aulder, and Ilana (Lucien's secret admirer and short-lived love). They sought to convince Genno to be entrusted with something called the Ark (a strange egg-cube device), which would restart the Iotans' system. While he had immense respect for his Iotan brethren and sympathy for their harmonic cause, he knew that he had to look out for himself (and his niece) first before anyone else. So they gave all that they could to him, everything he needed... including a favor that would grant an audience with Itzal Slyre... So he obliged his new charge and bid farewell to the dying Iotans as they gave the rest of their essence to extend the man's life span.[/hider2] [hider2=Kasuto] Genno is very much aware of who Kasuto is and where he came from, unlike the rest of the world that finds his origins a complete mystery. He knew him before anyone else did. This is because [i]Kasuto[/i] himself is the ARK of the Iotans. and over the course of 200 years, the man had succeeded in forming the path for Iotans to return (including Ioi). Genno, however, has mixed feelings towards Kasuto--he doesn't remember the one who took care of him when he was first [i]hatched.[/i] And according to the instruction manual that Poe Kasteny had left behind, this was a scenario that was bound to happen: Kasuto's subconscious would be entirely consumed by everyone in him. Still, he hoped for the best anyway, having wanted to raise Kasuto as his son (to fill the aching hole in his heart that Rina once filled). Of course, the old man doesn't blame Kasuto--he knows of his mission and has kept tabs on him from a distance for decades. Genno is, however, somewhat terrified of Kasuto's power... and hopes above all else that he does not fall to corruption.[/hider2] [hider2=Itzal Slyre] Never before had someone managed to frighten Genno to his core, his very soul. He had met many demons before in his time, but they were children's mere sock puppets compared to Slyre. The two beings have only known each other for a short time, but it was very intense. After he had been entrusted with Kasuto's care, one thing among others that he had been given to help him was a Favor. It belonged to Aulder and he had won it from Slyre long ago... but never used it. The old (old!) man suggested that Genno use it to secure Rina's safety. So... he summoned Itzal Slyre... and carefully worded a favor to ensure that his niece's livelihood, sanity, and sense of normalcy would remain intact, provided a certain condition was met. Much to Slyre's amusement, he not only granted the wish, but remarked that Genno would live to see the ramifications of it.[/hider2] [hider2=Hazumi] Hazumi and Genno get along fairly well, with the former respecting what he does for a living, especially when it came to hunting Renegades and keeping the balance. They have a friendly rivalry that is lightly touched upon when it comes to combat. But at times, the man seems humorously enamored with Hazumi, addressing her proper as though she was some kind of royal queen or divine goddess. Of course, he had never tried anything [i]rash[/i], but always left her presence feeling much happier than before. She is also one of the few people who have seen him without his mask on, know his full name, and also about his sweetheart at home, Naomi Travolta. As for the Musicians under her care, well, they really didn't like Genno at first. He was scary and unknown, smelled awful, and for some reason, was given access to visit the halls and borrow a bedroom as long as he didn't cause any trouble. Some students conspired to get him kicked out, but their various shenanigans were seen for what they were by Hazumi, much to his amusement. After all, he was human enough to pass as one. But as the decades went by, his presence became rare, but welcomed due to the fact that he had saved Musicians under fire and protected their Instruments, and never attempted to use them for his own gain. Of course, he doesn't know what to make of the young whippersnappers being given god-like tools to play constable all over the world. He's probably a little bit jealous, but more likely he's grown tired of seeing them die needlessly due to rookie mistakes and sheer lack of combat experience.[/hider2] [hider2=Reates Saerne]Genno is fairly skeptical of Reates, although he does enjoy his company. They met under unusual circumstances, but over time, the old(er) man had come to accept the young [i]pup's[/i] presence. Conversations are usually heavily one-sided, with him asking occasional questions or making an astute remark. However, like with Hazumi, Genno sees Reates as a friend, if not with a few unspoken inhibitions. Having become a teacher, Genno certainly has gotten to work closer with the odd man. And he's still not entirely sure how he feels about that.[/hider2] [hider2=Naomi Travolta] A quiet, caring, and loving woman whom Genno met on one of his missions in Italy. She was at first an innocent bystander, but got involved when she, her face streaming with tears, picked up one of his guns and shot a man who was about to stab him in the back whilst he was dealing with the other thugs. Soon after the incident, he sought her out to explain to her that she was in danger and that she would be hunted by his targets for interfering. She told him that was alright and that she thinks she's been living on "borrowed time" for most of her life anyway. He found her defeatist attitude appalling, but then he learned the reason why... She had been [i]blind[/i] a few years earlier and was struggling to cope. Over the course of a few months, they've endured many trials and hardships, mostly involving his reputation attracting trouble as he continued his case against his targets. She allowed him to use her home as a safe house and she fed him, took care of his gear, etc. He learned that she had nobody else in her life, not even family, nor friends. She made small change in a few different specialist shops where she'd cleaned and assembled guns, jewelry, etc. It was all slow, excruciating work, but even then, she was often given wooden "coins" of no value. At first, Genno was hesitant to talk to her about his true identity and what he did, where he'd been. But Naomi's curiosity got the best of her; she pressed him for details and soon learned how extraordinarily complicated he was. But eventually, it was time for him to leave... and he offered her nothing but his company if she wanted it. She said yes, and would continue to say yes to other things down the road.[/hider2] [B]Appearance[/B]: He is often seen as he appears in the above picture: trench coat, wide brim hat, orange mask, leather chaps and boots. The real typical western gunslinger type. He doesn't change much, never been a man of fashion. He does, however, have something interesting about his leather trench coat: it has 6 other sleeves on the back, with 3 going down the left and the other 3 going down the right. These sleeves are unnoticeable at first, since they are usually rolled up tightly and look like a some kind of under-padding. He wears body armor, albeit they are notably outdated and worn. This is what he looks like without his mask on... [img]http://s5.postimg.org/rtj7khkqf/peskay_genno3.png[/img] [B]Personality[/B]: Will show in IC. [B]Biography[/B]: This is all about a life-weary, headstrong human whose (relatively) ancient familial legacy included soldiery, government, and peacekeeping. War and peace are bittersweet notions to him. Salacious sins of the flesh wrack his old nerves, bidding him to drink poison a second time. This is about a man who seeks redemption through his service, forgiveness through his bullets, and death through the solitary of his mind. He ever desires the return of old times, but those are long gone, and he knows it. Things will never be the same again. His memories, distant echoes of old joys fading, serve only to strengthen his resolve. It is the firmest of all resolves: laying down his life for others, only to find death ignoring him. Above all, this is about an uncle wanting the company of his niece again, to see her smile and laugh, converse and opine, live and grow older before his eyes. It is a hope that some might find to be in vain, with their view on humanity all but tarnished and full of resentment toward the future. With only a fragmented (and mindless) demon (Ethaniel Baine) and angel (Gladius) counterpart both dormant in his chimeric psyche, his once invigorating triune relationship under the Empty Lord's plan remains to be an almost loathing reminder of his one mistake: leaving her behind... in the hands of another man. He knows not what's become of them, but he finds the death of his hope almost supernaturally fleeting. It is in this one path he travels, to and fro the world over, that chance (if one could dub it such) will unite them. The fact that he once carried the fate of an entire religious group in his hands is just window dressing. [img]http://s5.postimg.org/nvvxv2xx3/peskay_genno2.png[/img] The Constable, as he was once photographed in Thorpe centuries ago... Not much is known about the real Peskay Genno; his work has produced an addictive persona that hides him much like a mask for identities. But at times, it also hides him from his true desires, which are unfair things that he cannot seem to fulfill. Only certain people from 200 years before the Shattering of the Essence of the World may actually know a thing or two about him. His death as constable of Thorpe was never recorded, of course, but most presumed that the man had died of old age long ago. In any case, there are several rumors about Genno's persona, Orange-Nose Jon: that he's a demon possessed man, or an angel playing as a human. But according to Hazumi (when pressed for details), the traveling mercenary is some kind of [i]chimera[/i], but not a traditional one. He is no Renegade, but has neither the aura of a demon or angel, just a human's. She even remarked that he had saved several Musicians' lives more than a few times and did not demand any pay of any kind. Perhaps the most egregious rumor is his number of [i]deaths[/i]. To this day, several hundred people across the decades had sworn and bore witness that Orange-Nose Jon has been killed a (staggering) [b]507 times.[/b] But he just keeps coming back. So some think he is a ghost. Some think he is immortal. Others, confident of their rational superiority, believe that there is [i]more than one[/i] Orange-Nose Jon and all work together for some elaborate ruse. But who really knows? Nobody's bothered to ask the man himself.[/hider] [hider=CAPABILITIES][i]Equipment[/i]: [list][*][b]'Orange Mask'[/b]: This is an enchanted mask by way of injection of a person's essence in it as described in the OOC's [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/49231/posts/ooc?page=1#post-1488704]first post[/url]. In this case, it belongs to Mr. Ethaniel Baine: a dormant, fragmented demon of Genno's Iotan brethren. The mask stops people from reading the wearer's mind and messing with it with things like mind control, compulsions, and illusions. When people do make such attempts, it lights them up in his mind's eye and allows him to track them with ease. It does not prevent a Musician's IPC. The mask also auto-adjusts to be comfortable, snug, and resistant to [i]just falling off[/i]. Lastly, it allows him to see in very low light settings, but not complete darkness. The small holes through which his nose and mouth breathe also prevent anything but air from getting inside. It takes 6 hours for the mask to become attuned to Genno again if he takes it off.[/*] [*][b]'Red Bracers'[/b]: These protective garments are enchanted to completely absorb gun recoil; they are additionally enchanted to be lightweight and highly resistant to weathering, fire, acid, as well as destructive magicks that target clothing. The enchantments are recharged on a weekly basis and have no limit to how much recoil they can store. Additionally, Genno can transfer the recoil amounts between the bracers however he desires. This all builds up to prepare their lesser known function: the ability to repel an enemy's melee attack or enhance a melee attack of his own. Once a bracer's storage is activated, the energy within is unleashed all at once. As for how damaging these recoil unleashes can be, it all depends on the execution. But just know that Genno had these made with things like Hodge in mind. The Flesh Construct had 'Major Arms' that could lift up a tank and throw it [i]accurately[/i] several yards away. These red bracers could not only repel a Major Arm's physical strike, but the backlash could most certainly rip off the appendage at the shoulder. As for his own melee enhancements, a single touch could send aforementioned tanks flipping over several yards. Of course, that's all depending on if they have enough gun recoil saved up for such feats.[/*] [*][b]'Gun Insurance'[/b]: All of Genno's firearms are enchanted to dematerialize and teleport to his secret base. Special tweaks in the enchantments have been made to ensure that they cannot be tracked or dispelled en route. The enchantments last 3 times before they need to be recharged. Their activation key requires that they are away from his Iotan essence and either left unattended or being handled by a foreign essence. If, however, Genno seeks to retrieve them, the enchantments delay since they have the semi-intelligence to sense that. But a secondary activation key immediately activates the effect if someone attempts to destroy them, which the enchantments can also sense.[/*] [*][b]'Centenarian's Armory'[/b]: At home, in his secret underground base, Genno has a massive armory of weapons, armor, equipment, and vehicles that he had created, found, and maintained over two centuries. In general, he has enough military ordinance to supply an entire army in almost every aspect and theater of traditional war. His main weapons consist of pistols, rifles, and shotguns, and have been modified to work with his Iotan abilities. However, I don't intend to write a list of everything he has, especially since he doesn't use too much of it. His armory is also looked after by his lady friend, Naomi Travolta. Lastly, somewhere deep within the armory is a hidden room that he refers to as the [i]cache[/i]: it contains rescued documents and devices that regards [i]everything[/i] on Ioi the Empty Lord, his followers, and the world of Iota. This room is also Kasuto's birth place.[/*] [*][b]'Podge Colony'[/b]: [i]They're back[/i]... and this time, they work for Genno. Having taken inspiration from the battle of Hodge at Thorpe (as well as learning how Iotan tech was stolen and put to use on the flesh constructs), the man has engineered complete robotic spiderlings (read: no flesh involved) that are about the size of a full-grown St. Bernard. Their sole function is to guard his secret base and capture anyone who invades it. Although they are also obedient to Miss Travolta, she really does not want anything to do with them, which is understandable, because, you know, [i]spiders.[/i] A mini-CS will be rewritten for them if and when they are ever engaged, but for now, their exact powers and nature will remain secret (except in the minds of Essence veterans who wish they didn't have to remember them).[/*][/list] [i]Iotan Body Modifications[/i]: [list][*][b]'Absorptive Skinweave'[/b]: Genno's changes to his Iotan body has allowed him to reduce bludgeon and slash type attacks to a comfortable tolerance. However, stab attacks still work well, even though his skinweave is not particularly weak to it. The energy behind bludgeon and slash attacks are greatly diffused upon contact due to how the skinweave is built at the atomic level. However, [i]half[/i] of the damage from those two types is actually absorbed into his body, which hurts him a little bit and, over time, ushers his body to a state of needed repairs. He uses the stored energy to fuel his 'Power Shots', but this energy is fleeting and slowly diminishes over the course of a minute. Lastly, his skinweave is not even identifiable without a very good microscope: in other words, his flesh looks no different than normal. Although beauty may be skin deep, this still does nothing to add to his questionably rugged charm.[/*] [*][b]'Soundproof Entity'[/b]: Another change to his Iotan body is the absorption of energy related strictly to vibrations that are made in his personal space, which includes his body, clothing, but also his footsteps and hand actions. In other words, Genno never makes an unspoken sound or lets loose a stray pulse. [i]Ever.[/i] Even beings with incredible hearing or sense of touch cannot perceive him simply because the energy is not allowed to travel across the physical medium (such as air, dirt, body of water) to their sensors. That being said, only Genno's voice can be heard and that is because he temporarily reverses the body modification whenever he speaks. That means any and all sources of vibrations are redirected to enhance his voice when used, making it louder and sound coarser. The absorbed noises are reserved for his 'Power Shots', albeit this bodily trait does not lend to that as much; however, they [i]are[/i] stored indefinitely. This trait does not make Genno immune to extreme sonic or vibro attacks, whether magical or not. In fact, this trait makes him a bit weaker to them if he is not talking (because then the incoming attacks are redirected to his voice). That's not to say it would be a viable strategy for him to do, for the same reason you wouldn't want an awful amount of water to be suddenly propelled through an old, worn out water hose. Primarily the reason why people feel odd when they watch him up close: even if they don't realize it, their bodies sense that something is just, [i]off[/i] about this man's ghost-like silence and existence.[/*][/list] [i]Iotan Abilities[/i]: Reminiscent of the Iotans who, over 200 years ago, attempted to change the world under the plan of the Empty Lord. Anyone who had read about them in newspapers or encountered firsthand may very well be reminded of them when engaging Genno seriously in combat. [list][*][b]'Chain Limbs'[/b]: Genno's primary ability. He has specially made non-magical, biological limbs that resemble metal chains in almost every way. Emerging anywhere out of his body, they move like limbs very easily, even if they are detached from him. Chain limbs that are left alone and unattended by Genno automatically shrink to a normal size and emit a beacon in his mind's eye in order to be located. Each link is oblong, 3 inches in length, torus-shaped, and weighs 100 lbs. each; however, they can proportionally grow up to 3 times in size and 27 times in weight; they can shrink down to subatomic plane. They are [i]omni-buoyant[/i], allowing them to float in (and glide across) common molecules (such as air) effortlessly. Each link can become a [url=http://thebounceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/open-handcuffs1-300x225.jpg]manacle[/url] if needed, allowing the chain itself to grasp and manipulate objects. Due to his limited time with the Empty Lord and his followers, Genno had to perform some makeshift changes to himself to be successful. Each link, as usual, is actually a person transformed into one, but in his case, he usually targets enemies, convicts, and unfortunately injured animals. When a link breaks, instead of releasing the body intact, it converts them into a 1-second long, highly powered laser that can cut a squad of armored tanks in half. The laser attempts to target the thing that broke it, but Genno can control it manually if he pays attention. He also cannot redirect the damage in chains through one another and onto a target. Another weakness is his lack of finesse when controlling the speed and dexterity of very [i]enlarged[/i] chains; however, his sense of proprioception with his chain limbs is extremely strong and he has found a clever way to incorporate them into his fighting style. One final change is that the chains tend to gravitate towards sources of foreign essence and even more if the source is trying to handle them; in close proximity, the chains try to [i]compact[/i] the foreign essence (even of friends and allies), solidifying them over time and, well, that's just gonna not be comfortable for most folks. Much to his frustration, he does not know how to turn this off. When it comes to turning living beings into chain links, they must be seized by one or more manacles depending on their body's size. The target must be considerably worn out, unconscious, or completely incapable of escaping the bondage of his chain limbs. The transformation process can take up to 30 seconds to complete, and is very loud and bright. Targets can never break out of their links (usually) and must be released manually by Genno, or destroyed.[/*] [*][b]'Chain Pinion'[/b]: Unlike a normal Iotan's [i]Surface Pinion[/i] that renders them unmovable whilst pinned to a surface, Genno's version is limited directly to chains, though not necessarily his own. To use the ability, he must do so with any part of his legs or his hands if they are free (specifically, capable of grasping). When using his Chain Pinion, he is no longer affected by Progaia's gravity (or any other gravitational source), just the chain's artificial gravity, which affects only him, his clothing, weapons, etc. Most importantly, he is able to zip up and down a chain's length incredibly fast without even exerting physical stamina. Rarely used, but certainly one of the more astonishing sights that had served only to spread Orange-Nose Jon's combat prowess.[/*][/list] [i]Extraordinary Shots[/i]: A small list of shooting tactics that Genno has learned and mostly mastered over the centuries. These shots either use his innate Iotan abilities and body parts, or are actually enchanted by a user of the Art. Anti-magic fields and dispels can be used to deter the shots with enchantments, but not the ones relying on Iotan biological technology. [list][*][b]'Power Shot'[/b]: His regular bullets take on an immense amount of kinetic energy straight from his body's reserves as described earlier. This ability tends to pulverize very small bullets upon impact. The shot forces a target's structural or bodily integrity to endure immense strain in that tiny surface area, and usually the target is not equipped to deal with that kind of force. When combined with explosive ordinance, the payload can cause some tremendous damage in a small area, leaving deep craters.[/*] [*][b]'Chain Shot'[/b]: Perhaps Genno's most unnerving shot when seen for the first time, but it is also his most favored shot when he is significantly challenged. It requires a chain limb to be rolled up very tightly so that it resembles a bullet. When fired, it can, at his discretion, be unfurled extremely fast upon an unsuspecting target. The intense momentum of the bullet carries over to its true form, causing the chain to slow down proportionally as more of it unfolds. If Genno also increases the size of the chain links, even more of the momentum is taken. But, you know, big chains inbound to your currently foolish location are just plain scary, regardless of their reduced speed compared to a bullet.[/*] [*][b]'Torus Shot'[/b]: This isn't so much a particular type of shot as it is a different way for him to fire. With the use of a chain, he can fire through the holes in its links (the torus-shaped openings) and let it come out of another chain link elsewhere. Obviously, the bullet must fit through the hole. Unfortunately, when a chain link is used like this, it temporarily becomes a dud that needs internal fixing, with which the company of other chain links helps by simply realigning it.[/*] [*][b]'Numb Shot'[/b]: These shots must be made in advance, and are easier done at home than on the field. A single bullet contains a single chain link and when it strikes the target, that chain link bursts out instantly and embeds itself into the target. The chain link emits a 1-foot sphere of influence and prevents any kind of information from being passed through it. This includes a body's biological neurons. For example, getting shot in the wrist would prevent a person from using their hand. But shot in the shoulder? The whole arm becomes useless. Targets can attempt to remove the chain link but it is not unlike a barb. Plus add in the problematic fact that chain links try to compact foreign essence around them and you have a sticky situation that keeps trying to (slowly) make part of you painfully smaller.[/*] [*][b]'Beacon Shot'[/b]: The first of Genno's actually [i]enchanted[/i] shots. Each bullet is painstakingly carved with enchantments, and so he has a limited number of them. He cannot make these on the field, at least not without an assistant. The beacon shot is actually the most harmless attack he has... if you only consider immediate damage. When a beacon shot strikes a target, it does no damage whatsoever but actually sticks to them. The enchantment makes the bullet move around with a limited amount of energy for motion. It smartly looks for clever places to hide. So, besides being a molesting annoyance (if they even notice the bullet is on them), the beacon shot makes [i]all other shots[/i] home in on the target. This drastic increase in uncanny accuracy can be quite absurd. The enchantment lasts for 30 minutes, but it immediately dissolves if the target can find the bullet and get rid of it effectively. Of course, if the bullet somehow makes it through an orifice and into the target's body...[/*] [*][b]'Force Shot'[/b]: The second enchanted shot and one of Genno's commonly used ones when engaging other gun users. All this bullet does is emit a visible blue force shield around it when airborne. The shape and design of the force shield can change prior to being fired. It easily deflects incoming shots right back at their shooters, albeit they are not perfect rebounds. The force shield can also push back and catch up people in it, toting them with the bullet, but only for a while since their weight drastically reduces the bullet's momentum over a few seconds. The enchantment disappears after the bullet stops or after 1 minute, whichever comes first.[/*] [*][b]'Trick Shot'[/b]: His final enchanted bullet type. And indeed, it is a nefarious one, for it has led to the undoing of many who had managed to best Genno in combat, lived to tell the tale, and came back to gloat about it. In short, the Trick Shot is actually a ring that fits onto another bullet and these can be prepared in advance or on the fly if he has time. When the chimeric bullet is fired, it basically tricks observant foes into thinking he had fired elsewhere, based simply where his gun had been pointing. In other words, he could have been pointing straight up (or down!) and someone to his right would possibly get bit. But this is no illusion. The enchantment makes the shot ethereal, allowing it to go through his gun's metal, but still be affected by the gunpowder. The direction of the shot's aim is chosen mentally. These are the hardest of enchanted bullets for him to get made.[/*][/list][/hider]
