ATK:[/b] Exceeds Limit [*][b]PHY. DEF:[/b] 75 [*][b]AGILITY:[/b] 100 [*][b]MAG. ATK:[/b] 50 [*][b]MAG. DEF:[/b] 75 [*][b]RESIST:[/b] 70 [*][b]SPECIAL:[/b] 90 --- [*][b]TOTAL:[/b] 575+@[/list] [b]Spells:[/b] Due to his focus on high Physical Attack, Lines has very little need for offensive spells. Many of his spells are simply a utility-oriented, working to augment his high assassination skills. [u][b]Offensive Spells[/b][/u][list] [*][b]Bursting Flame Column:[/b] A ninjutsu skill. The user creates a self-imploding explosion with flames. [*][b]Freezing Ice Spike:[/b] A ninjutsu technique. The user creates a single spear of ice which erupts from the ground. [*][b]Indestructible Adamantine Blades:[/b] A ninjutsu skill. The user presses their hand against the ground, and multiple spikes radiating with multiple colours jut out of the ground in a straight line towards a target. Interestingly enough, this spell scales off of Physical Attack. [*][b]Indestructible Adamantine Dance:[/b] Another ninjutsu skill that draws similarities to Indestructible Adamantine Blades. The user presses their hand against the ground, and multiple spikes radiating with multiple colours jut out of the ground in a random pattern around the user. Interestingly enough, this spell scales off of Physical Attack. [*][b]Rising Wind Pillar:[/b] The user focuses on an area under the target, creating a powerful whirlwind that stretches upward, lifting nearby targets into the air and dealing damage. [*][b]Seeping Darkness Crescent:[/b] A ninjutsu skill. The user spins once, slashing with a weapon imbued with darkness. Deals damage. [*][b]Shadow Clone:[/b] A ninjutsu skill. The user creates an identical copy of themselves. The clone itself is no illusion, but only uses a quarter of the original body’s battle power. In spite of this, one can regulate the evasion level of the clone based upon how much magical power is put into creating the clone. [*][b]Twisting Water Torrent:[/b] Another ninjutsu skill. Creates a cyclone of water that surrounds Lines, damaging and sweeping back nearby enemies.[/list] [u][b]Utility Spells[/b][/u][list] [*][b]Life Essence[/b] [*][b]Mana Essence[/b] [*][b]Message[/b] [*][b]Sense Enemy[/b] [*][b]Teleportation[/b][/list] [u][b]Defensive Spells[/b][/u][list] [*][b]Immovable Adamantine Shield:[/b] A ninjutsu skill. The user creates a large shield radiating with multiple colours to appear in front of them, blocking attacks both magical and physical. [*][b]Reflecting Mirror Water:[/b] A ninjutsu skill which creates a shield of water, reflecting magical projectiles. reflected projectiles become Lines', allowing them to hit other targets. [*][b]Unbreakable Binding:[/b] A ninjutsu skill which allows the user to lay a trap of binding strings. Activating the trap will immobilize nearby targets. [*][b]Concealing Umbra Shroud:[/b] A ninjutsu skill. Creates a smokescreen, obscuring an area and blocking the line of sight of units. Works well with the passive Ninja Art of Ambushing.[/list] [b]Skills:[/b] [b][u]Special Ability[/u][/b][list] [*][b]Perceiver:[/b] A Special Ability which revolves around Lines' eyesight. Primarily, Perceiver acts like a passive version of the [url=http://overlordmaruyama.wikia.com/wiki/Necklace_of_Eye]Necklace of Eye[/url]. In addition, Perceiver grants Lines the ability to "Mark" a single target. Lines can see marked targets, even if they attempt to hide their presence through skills. The ability itself isn't absolute sight, and doesn't allow him to see through walls or tangible obstructions, but it does bypass invisibility and the like.[/list] [b][u]Passive Skills[/u][/b][list] [*][b]Ninja Art of Chaining:[/b] Allows attacks and skills to be quickly chained together in a manner similar to Martial Arts. [*][b]Ninja Art of Counter Striking:[/b] Evading attacks allows the user to launch a counter-attack that deals half the damage of the user's normal weapon strike. [*][b]Ninja Art of Ambushing:[/b] Attacks which hit the back of an opponent deal critical hits. [*][b]Opportunist:[/b] Deal bonus damage to targets if they are under a Crowd Control effect.[/list] [u][b]Offensive Skills[/b][/u][list] [*][b]Blade Whirl:[/b] The user spins several times, slashing nearby enemies and dealing damage in ticks. [*][b]Death Blow:[/b] The most powerful attack in Lines' arsenal. Simply put, Death Blow deals a massive amount of damage in a single attack using a held weapon, with the express purpose of killing an enemy in a single hit. Death Blow is affected by Ninja Art of Ambushing, which makes it a tool that is most effective for assassinating high-priority targets, and poorly-armoured ones such as magic casters. Still, Death Blow has a long cooldown, preventing it from being used more than once a day. In addition, high armour values can mitigate the damage from Death Blow, and resurrection could also be considered as a counter of sorts. [*][b]Decapitate:[/b] The user dashes past target(s), slicing them in the process and dealing damage over time. Has the ability to immediately execute targets below 10% health. The cooldown is also reset if the ability kills a target. [*][b]Dragon Shot:[/b] A ninjutsu skill which requires a bow. After charging for a moment, the user fires an arrow which takes the visage of a slow-moving dragon which travels in a straight path, boring through enemies in the way, dealing heavy damage. [*][b]Flurry:[/b] The user unleashes a flurry of stabs in a conical area in front of them, damaging targets in an area. [*][b]Guillotine:[/b] A more spread version of Decapitate. The user dashes around an area in a burst of speed, attacking each target in the area once. Generally, it will immediately kill those below level 20. [*][b]Kneecapped:[/b] Requires a bow. The user aims for an opponents knee, immobilizing, but not stunning the target. Also deals damage. [*][b]Meteoric Kick:[/b] Lines launches himself at a target and does a frontal flip, throwing his foot outwards in order to kick the opponent from above using the momentum of the flip. Deals damage. [*][b]Paralyzing Strike:[/b] The user attacks with a blade, bow and arrow or a throwing weapon whilst aiming for a nerve. Briefly paralyzes a target if it hits and places a slow upon the target. While the paralysis is brief, the slow is slightly longer, and the combined CC works well with the Opportunist passive. [*][b]Rapid Strike:[/b] A simple strike with bonus damage. Has a low cooldown, and gradually increases in strength as it is used, stacking up to 8 times. [*][b]Rend:[/b] The user moves at a great speed, striking the same target multiple times from multiple directions. [*][b]Ricochet:[/b] Requires a bow. The user fires an arrow which pierces through targets and bounces off of walls. The arrow itself disappears after the sixth bounce. [*][b]Sweeping Kick:[/b] A simple sweeping kick. Generally trips targets up, and is chained with various other skills. [*][b]Venom Strike:[/b] The user attacks with a weapon coated in poison. Deals damage over time if it hits. [*][b]Weapon Switch:[/b] Allows for a fast switching of weapons that are in the user's inventory. [*][b]Whirlwind Kick:[/b] Similar to Meteoric Kick, except Lines does a back flip rather than a front flip. Can be chained onto Whirlwind Kick in order to deal more damage.[/list] [u][b]Defensive Skills[/b][/u][list] [*][b]Deflection:[/b] Allows the deflection of physical projectiles. Deflected projectiles become Lines', allowing them to hit other targets. [*][b]Gale Acceleration[/b] [*][b]Invulnerable Fort[/b] [*][b]Substitution:[/b] One of the many skills granted by the Ninja Job Class. The user avoids damage by swapping places with an object (normally a doll or log) and disappearing in the process. Can also be used on low-level NPCs (around level 20 and below), swapping places with them so that they take the hit.[/list] [u][b]Utility Skills[/b][/u][list] [*][b]Ability Boost[/b] [*][b]Dark Crossing:[/b] Allows the user to travel between shadows, and move as a shadow. Normally used in conjunction with Hide Shadow in order to hide and move in the shadows for both reconnaissance and ambushes. [*][b]Evasion[/b] [*][b]Greater Evasion[/b] [*][b]Hide Shadow:[/b] Allows the user to hide in shadows, becoming untargettable. Visually, the user would sink into their own or another objects shadow. This is fundamentally different from invisibility by the fact that you cannot be hit while inside of a shadow. At the same time, the user cannot attack without first leaving the shadow. [*][b]Shukuchi:[/b] Similar to Teleportation in the sense that it brings the user to the target location. However, Shukuchi is literal movement, and is a [i]burst of speed[/i] to move to a nearby location, unlike Teleportation. Certain people mistake it for teleportation sometimes.[/list] [b]Equipment:[/b] [b][u]Weapons[/u][/b][list] [*][b]Darksteel Ninjatō[/b] [i]Divine Class A short sword with a black hilt and blade with a purple toned blade. The blade itself is known for it's lack of special abilities, but amazingly high attack power.[/i] [colour=black].[/colour] [*][b]Silverfall Shuriken[/b] [i]Legendary Class A shuriken that is known for its silver colour, and large size. While it can be thrown and used as a ranged weapon, its size also allows for it to be an effective melee weapon, albeit it's a bit unusual.[/i] [colour=black].[/colour] [*][b]Umbral Blackbow[/b] [i]Legendary Class A black-coloured bow with many artistic carvings depicting dragons. The Umbral Blackbow has the ability to fire three arrows at once.[/i][/list] [b][u]Armour[/u][/b][list] [*][b]Shadowstep Set[/b] [i]Legendary Set The Shadowstep set is an armour set for rogue-like Job Classes, consisting of a mask, scarf, top, gauntlets, leggings and shoes. The set itself is known for improving evasion and critical hit damage. In terms of appearance, the armour set resembles something that a stereotypical ninja would wear — which explains why it was given to Lines by his creator.[/i][/list] [b]Bio:[/b][list] [*]The story of Lines' creation, use and his current disposition is a relatively straightforward one. His creator, KuraiEmperor, was one of the many members of the Syndicate. He was a skilled programmer, and a [i][b]massive weaboo[/b][/i]. He had created and assisted with the creation of several NPCs in his time within the Syndicate, all of which having some kind of odd trait which tied into his interests in some way. Most of the time, the other NPC programmers would delete most of the "strange" lines of code that he would write, although there were times where his code would fly under the radar - and then you'd have one of the guild NPCs screaming about their senpai or whatnot. Still, Kurai was mostly tolerated due to him being one of the best programmers in the guild, even managing to create his own extremely powerful NPC - Lines. Kurai had an infatuation with stereotypical ninjas. Maybe it had to do with the concept of being sneaky and agile assassins capable of mystical feats, or maybe it was something else. Whatever it was, it drove him to create a ninja-like NPC, which he pushed to the guild by describing his NPC as "a silent and agile guardian of the vault as a counterpart to the slow guild golem," convincing many members to donate their overall NPC level resources toward the cause. In reality, Lines had very little to do with the vault, and Kurai only had two goals in mind when creating him: [list][*]Make the "deadliest" Player-Made NPC within Ragnavault. [*]Have this NPC guard his personal room, preventing the entry of other guild members.[/list] The personal room in question was simply an average, yet out-of-place room within the deeper halls of the Ragnavault. What exactly is in that room to make Kurai want to guard it with such an NPC? The only ones who know are the guildmaster and Kurai himself. Lines is also aware of what's inside, but being an NPC, didn't (and still doesn't) quite understand exactly what they are. Still, he fervently guards the room regardless. Of course, despite being an effective NPC programmer, his weebish tendencies were the target of the rest of the guild members' mockery. It had always irritated him, starting off as idle comments and subtle jabs, then they started to refer to him as "hikikomori" or "otaku" which was probably the last straw. He began to add things to Lines' code. Prior to this, Kurai had opted not to put anything out-of-place into Lines' scripting; to him, ninjas were supposed to be silent and serious at all times, and he adhered to that idea fairy well, but after the other members of the guild had managed to enrage him, he changed and added many lines. He kept the line regarding Lines guarding his room, in addition to adding things such as "Is lazy", "Tends to avoid working", "Needs to nagged multiple times to do a task.", etc. He left the guild shortly after. Surprisingly, nobody actually noticed the changes in Lines' programming. They kept both him and Kurai's Room around as a relic of sorts. Most of the time, Lines just guarded the room anyway, so it was as if nothing changed. It was only after the members of the Syndicate were brought to the world of YGGDRASIL did Lines' tendencies become apparent. Still powerful, but it now takes an unnecessary amount of work to get that power to do something for you. Lines would generally look out for himself rather than others, carrying a laid-back attitude to almost all things; he doesn't even try to stop or restrain Shammura when she tries to kill Toasty, whereas the other guardians probably would. Even so, there are times when Lines reverts back to his eerie and deadly ninja persona, such as when he's being serious, or when he's actually on a mission or in combat. Still, the moments tend to be short-lived, much to the frustration of some of the other NPCs.[/list] [b]Other:[/b][list] [*]Nah m8.[/list][/hider]
