I would allow people who know how to fight, but are mostly self-taught and don't have Rocky Balboa's insane amount of prowess. If they could beat up the biggest kid on their street, that's okay. If they beat the world champion boxer, that's not.


For Kristof, his bio is near perfection, and he really doesn't violate any rules in most regards but one. That is the fact that because he's a strongman, he will be inherently strong. Whether it's suplexing a train strong, or just lifting a 400 lb. weight strong makes a difference. I count him as accepted so long as his strength has clearly set limits, and you don't change those limits whenever you want them to fit the occasion.

And that is certainly part of it, Kristof has no fighting prowess, no talent in the field to speak of, in fact, it is a likely guess that he hasn't been in a fight his entire life. Does that rule out the idea that he can be very fit? I think not. And do not worry, the whole suplexing a train thing was facetious, which I'm sure you could tell.

Lets talk about Minami for a moment. I get her story, and it all is well put. But, and it may just be my opinion, I find it a bit difficult to understand such young characters. She ran away from an abusive home, understandable. I'm curious though, has she simply wandered into the convention? Was this her first day away, or has she been living in such a way for a while, in that case, I'm surprised nothing horribly advantageous has happened to her. And, I'm not sure how much an eleven year old would understand about such a life. It almost saddens me to think that she could die of starvation.

That is more than a nit pick with some questions I'm interested in the answers to.

As for Kurano, I assumed that he simply is interested in the future of such technology, and seeing as he inherited the power of sound he is probably curious, that is a likely reason for anyone to want to go to the convention. Of course that is just speculation.
