[@Oddsbod] Okay, I extensively discussed Askin with my co-gms (more than ever before, in fact!), and we have shared opinions.

We think Askin is a great character but, we think that his special moves could really use a bit of reworking. My main thing is that they seem more like RPG moves, than attacks you'd see in a fighting game (or even an anime). Even though this RP isn't what you would call the most "anime" or "fighting game" RP in the world, he kind of sticks out compared to the other characters (who fit that theme much better). He has like status debuffs, and healing moves. I'm not saying that everyone has to be a badass karate man, but I kind of want to maintain a certain thematic here. Having moves that heal himself, trap enemies, and illusion moves go against that.

We also agree that his special moves in general are a bit confused and all over the place. His moves don't seem to fit into any kind of thematic tbh, and they don't really convey that he's the chosen one. I just can't see his fighting in action. I also think he's a [i]bit[/i] overpowered that he has access to all these moves. He just seems that he has a bit too much. I mean, he can steal attacks, has illusions, status effects, can trap enemies ([i]and[/i] restrain them), three projectiles (one even gives him extra mobility), two melee attacks, and has a demon. It would be okay if he had one or two of these, but he has all of them. It doesn't work that his weakness is that "he isn’t a trained fighter" when he has access to a variety of moves that more than make up for it.

All that said and done; I have some idea that could make Askin's fighting style be more in line with the other characters. I think he would be a bit more interesting to see in action if you focused his special techniques around the lamp's ability to copy other people's attacks (Or as you call it, The Imprisoner, and The Unleasher). Since that's probably the one thing that would revolve around a character's kit around in a fighting game. Give him the ability to store a few attacks inside that magic lamp of his, and use them against his opponents. And boom! You have yourself a fighting style not too out of place in a fighting anime, [i]and[/i] it fits his chosen one theme much better.

I would just drop the other special techniques. Because, tbh, they're redundant if you focus on copying other attacks, and they don't gel with the thematics of the rp.
