[quote=@Rilla] Sometimes you have to be careful when talking about history. Adding in characters, NPCs even, from the past can either be a really good way to cover back story, or it can be looked at by some as bullshitting a history to help deal with something. [/quote] [@Rilla] I had decided to include the bit about Cirno, because I wanted to start the slow process of building a backstory behind how Scion obtained the many different abilities and items he posses. All of his stuff has small explanation as to how they function and were obtained, but he didn't get them all at once. He had to go through many trials to obtain some of these things, and even die on quite a few occasions. I would like to assure you that all of his abilities/equipment were picked out for this fight before it began, so I'm not pulling anything out of thin air that wasn't already there. As for why the cold aura got a backstory? Well it just seemed fitting for Scion to think of the ice fairy after being nearly burned to death. I had this story in mind since the abilities creation, so it wasn't made up on the spot. I realize that this does seem to have the DBZ affect, but don't worry. I won't go and shoehorn a backstory for everything Scion has into this RP, but I will gladly hint at or reference past events as I work on building up the other stories. As for now. I am thinking of switching fighting styles again, though I am not sure how to proceed as it seems Skallagrim's weapons have just gotten a buff to them. So, I'm not liking my odds at a close range confrontation, but I won't know if I don't try I guess. Here's to trying the direct approach again! As soon as I get it typed that is. I'm still getting bad headaches ever since yesterday, and it's making it difficult to focus. I think I can get something up today though. It will just be posted later on.
