Only a few are allowed into the guild after showing their knowledge in food within Elder Tale. Once part of the guild, players gain benefits such as free food. [b][color=6ecff6]Bio:[/color][/b] Matsuda Yuuko was born into a fairly ordinary family. And by fairly ordinary, she was pressured from the beginning of middle-school to get rank one in all of her classes. As such, she had tutoring for the better part of her week and if she wasn't busy studying, she was asleep. Her lifestyle caused a rumor to spread around that she was cold and aloof. Haughty to say the least. Yuuko wasn't about to try correct them as it would only lead to more misunderstandings, something she didn't have time to deal with. Thus her social life was non-existent. In the latter years of highschool, she began to binge eat due to stress which soon became a habit, leading to her huge appetite. By some miracle of genetics, her metabolism was able to keep up but her hunger for food merely increased. Many a time has Yuuko faked going to Cram school to cram a pile of hamburgers into her mouth. Disguised, of course. After overhearing a conversation between her class' resident 'Otaku', she decided to look into this game they called "Elder Tale". The way they spoke about it intrigued her in a way she didn't expect. "Classes", "Freedom" and "Fantasy" were some buzz words she picked out of the conversation as she continued to quietly eavesdrop. Much to her surprise, her older brother was already playing the aforementioned game, thus she borrowed his laptop to try it out. It was unlike anything she had ever seen and it was much more fun than she expected. In this virtual world, she could express herself without the chains of expectation; She chose to play as a Samurai purely because of the aesthetic. She often found herself playing late into the night as she became very engrossed in the game, but she kept her interest hidden from everyone except her brother. Unlike most of the other players, Yuuko was quite accepting, if not happy, that the Catastrophe happened. She was finally free of her family's binding chains of expectation and she was able to visit her guild whenever she felt like it without worrying about time. [b][color=6ecff6]Personality:[/color][/b] Matsuko often exudes a cold 'aura', making her seem very unapproachable. Her lack of facial expression isn't very helpful in that regard. However the fastest way to her heart is through her stomach, thus making her quite naive sometimes should someone have the right amount of food... Which is almost never. Should someone come to understand her, she's quite honest and agreeable, if not somewhat cute. Her insatiable appetite can be quite off-putting at times, since she says things like "I'll devour you" during a fight. [b][color=6ecff6]Equipment:[/color][/b] [hider=Moonlight Carver] [i]'To carve the light of the moon is to hunger for gentle beams that radiate from it. The Oni of the mountains long sought out ways to harvest the moon's light. Sought out ways to consume it's blessings. Yet it was their greed that consumed them. Fighting over the cursed blade that brought their own downfall.' The Moonlight Carver is a Katana that looks slightly similar to a Carving knife and is often distinguished by it's crescent moon imprint on the scabbard and the small crescent moon shaped trinket that hangs from the pommel. This weapon is a rare drop acquired from a x1 rank Raid as a reward for defeating the 'Oni of the Moon Mountain'. This Katana is seen as more of an aesthetic weapon by Hardcore Raid parties, however it does have a few bonus stats specifically for the subclass. Aside from it's extra fanciful particle effects, the Carver increases a 's Defense stats by 25% and gives them a passive Health Regeneration buff, healing 2% of their HP every 5 seconds when under the influence of the moon's light. These buffs are halved in the daylight.[/i] [/hider] [hider=Dou of the Nameless Ronin] [i]'It is said that this armor came from a Famous Ronin, however he remained nameless for all of his years among the living. His wish to be forgotten was never granted. It is also said that his soul lives on within the armor he desired to rid himself of.' A completion reward from a quest line. Grants a damage bonus to , increasing it's counter-attack damage by 20%. This is in reference to the Kendo technique, Men-Kaeshi-Dou.[/i] [/hider] [hider=Earring of The Silver Spoon] [i]'Crafted by ShrimpBoss'[/i] An earring that hangs from Matsuko's right ear, crafted by The Silver Spoon guild leader. This earring is a symbol that represents the guild as well as giving her a buff to food effects. Increasing stats gained from food by 10%. [/hider] [hider=Kote of Vengeance] [i]'Those who inflict pain upon others will feel the wrath of those inflicted upon.' A pair of enchanted gauntlets that passively return damage back to the attacker. Returning 15% of damage done.[/i] [/hider] [b][color=6ecff6]Spells/Skills list:[/color][/b] [hider=Canon] [/hider] [hider=Non-Canon] [sub]A combination of block and counter. Mitigating damage and dealing damage in a single movement. Damage is based on Timing and Weapon attack power. This may be used on Tank-busters, however the damage received is only reduced by 25% instead of blocked.[/sub] [sub][i]'May those with the strength of Will and Power tower over their foes.'[/i] Dominance weakens all taunted enemies, reducing their attack power by 10% for 30 seconds.[/sub] [sub][i]'It's all about give and take.'[/i] Vengeance returns damage dealt back to the attacker. 50% of damage received is returned for 20 seconds. This does not work on Tank-Busters.[/sub] [sub][i]'Move as the moonlight does. Shining brightly and with grace.'[/i] Moonlight Slash is a three-hit combo that reduces enemy armor by 10% for 20 seconds. It is distinguishable by it's moonlit particle effects.[/sub] [/hider] [color=6ecff6][i]Overskill:[/i][/color] Will be discovered. [b][color=6ecff6]Other:[/color][/b] - Matsuko plays as a Vengeance-type Samurai, mostly using counters and blocks. - Matsuko is the same height as Yuuko, around 5'6" "The Great Gourmand" was a title that Matsuko earned from a special quest that she received after consuming 200 items of food within 2 minutes, which required a lot of spamming and animation cancelling. This quest required her to look (And consume) at different foods within the game before answering a quiz on the food's lore and ingredients. This quest was a 'one chance' only, meaning if the player failed to answer one part of the quiz, they would not be able to acquire the title and the quest would disappear. [color=6ecff6][i]Effects:[/i][/color] This title allows Matsuko to eat anything and discern the ingredients or materials that make up the item. It also makes her immune to poison. [color=6ecff6][b]Mount:[/b][/color] [i][color=6ecff6]White Wolf[/color][/i] Matsuko's mount is a White Dire wolf that moves 1.5x faster than a regular horse. Allowing her to travel faster than many others. This mount was rewarded as first prize in an Eating contest held by her guild, The Silver Spoon. [/hider]
