Kingdom Hearts: Signs of Zodiac

BioHazard said They headed over there when the big black darkness appeared, so they probably would arrive there after the guy had left. But weird that Jake passed Eximna as she ran very fast and as first.

Okay, edited that part. Now Jake was running as fast as he could. She probably beat him there, but that doesn't affect the rest (hopefully).

"Huh," Jake mused, not entirely sure he understood - and somewhat concerned Reno had multiple personalities. He turned to look at the others.

"Seriously, though, what happened to the others? Looks like they got banged up pretty badly. Shouldn't we get them to a doctor? Or at least find someplace to rest? I doubt some Cure spells alone are going to cut it.

A more important question; have Thomas, Jake, and the other reached the scene, or should I have waited a bit more for Jake to see the scene?

Kingdom Hearts: Signs of Zodiac

BioHazard said Nice, but do remember a limit break can only be used when your health is low

Renose said I just think they are something that can be used in harrowing situations (when shit has gone south essentially)

Pretty much what I had in mind. Jake's form is pretty much the last-gasp attack in a desperate situation.

Kingdom Hearts: Signs of Zodiac

Jake ran as quickly as he could, wondering what could have happened. He turned around a corner, sliding to a halt, axe in hand. He saw a pair of nobodies - one apparently having taken a bit of a beating - and several light warriors; one grown-up woman and several kids no older than Thomas. One girl was laid out on the ground, shivering, with a a boy and a girl trying to console her, and another badly wounded boy being cured by...

"Wait a second..." Jake took a good hard look at the one trying to cure the badly wounded boy. Sure, he had only seen Reno for a few minutes, but he could have sworn that kid was incredibly similar.

"Reno?" he inquired, his voice a mixture of curiosity and confusion. "That you?

"And what the hell happened here?"

He looked around. It was a regular mess, as though a fight had erupted, besides the fact that there were three wounded.

My proposed Limit Break
Limit Break: Custom Skill: GranLeo - Jake's axe(s) melt into his skin, causing him to get covered in a bronze or gold-covered liquid metal. He transforms from a 6'1" human to a 7'6" humanoid lion with razor-sharp claws on large, hammer-like fists and an iron-hard tuft at the end of his tail that can be used as a powerful mace or morningstar. Jake's defenses and strength double, and his speed and jump increase significantly, making him a terrifying close combat enemy. Jake in this form can also use a powerful roar to shake/intimidate foes or to knock back weak enemies, and can use his claws to climb sheer inclines. In GranLeo form, he can walk normally, but when he needs to run really fast, he gets down on all fours to high speeds.

Jake can only maintain this form for a limited time, and at the end of the transformation, he becomes exhausted, barely able to stand up let alone fight. Also, while Jake remains in control all throughout the form, the strain leaves him with severe headaches and vertigo afterwards.

"Huh," Jake said, reaching for his axe but then deciding against it. "A brawl in this part of town? Seems important... Sure, we'll tag along."

Jake was curious as to what was going on. Besides, he might find something interesting. Though he decided to be ready, just in case worst came to worst.

BTW, I realize I forgot to add a Shotlock or Limit Break to Jake's character sheet. Can I still do that, or do I have to wait for the next "level up", so to speak?

Kingdom Hearts: Signs of Zodiac

Jake gave a sympathetic smile.

"Don't sweat it, kid. Everyone screws up. Things happen, and nobody's perfect. We just pick ourselves up and try again.

"Seriously, I'm talking out of personal experience. Used to be a rash kid, still am. Hell, I took on the Horned King and his army while completely stinking drunk, which is why your buddy Reno had to bust me out of prison earlier."

When they landed in Twilight Town, Jake jumped off his Glider, which then glimmered brightly before going back to his hand as a keyaxe. He twirled it around a couple times before strapping it to his back again.

"Heh, Twilight Town. Been quite a few months since I've been here." He then noticed the welcoming committee.

"Yeah, I'm with him," Jake said, confirming Thomas' story. "John Grendell, my friends call me Jake. We come in peace and all that..."

Kingdom Hearts: Signs of Zodiac

Jake shook Thomas' hand, but was apparently a little worried.

"You alright, kid?" Jake inquired in concern. "You seem a little out of it..."

However, he got no response, and was unwilling to push the point. The kid was rather suspicious; probably took him a while to trust people.

"Oh, right, Glider..." Jake took out his keyaxe, and turned it over a couple times in his hands. "Hold on a second, been a while since I used this func-"

Suddenly the keyblade glowed in his hand, floated to the ground, and expanded to form a rather large, gothic looking hoverboard with a roaring lion's head at the front.

"Ah, there we go," Jake exclaimed. "Just like riding a bike."

He hopped on the Glider, and gestured to Thomas.

"Lead the way, Thomas."

As he followed the other keyblade user, he gave a quick salute to the others present.

"See you around! Next time I'm in the neighborhood, I'll drop by for a visit, alright?"

As he followed Thomas, he noticed that the boy was brooding.

"What's on your mind, Thomas?" he inquired. "You're worried about Reno too, huh? Look, the kid may be a sandwich short of a picnic, and overly naive, but I'm pretty sure he's safe."
