One Piece: New Age

Name: August Fletcher

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Personality:
August is a rebellious individual; he lives for adventure and is a thrill-chaser. There’s nothing that he enjoys more than taking on challenges and cracking one-liners. He’s rarely a serious person because he’s not fond of taking things in that brings him down. This adventurer just loves to be the life of the party. His mindset is there is always time to joke and make fun of any situation.

Devil Fruit/ Weapon of expertise:
Supido Supido Fruit: This grants the user remarkable speed and quick feet. At his current training and level, he can only reach up to speeds of 30 miles per hour when regularly running, similar to a horse.
Two-Step : August repeatedly steps in place to dodge attacks. It is difficult on the offender because August’s speed grants him the ability of creating illusions. Quickly stepping in place gives him the advantage of dodging rapid fire and punches.
Bullet Launch: August travels at the speeds of a bullet to launch a deadly punch!
Flash Attack: August throws a barrage of quick hits or kicks at incredible speed. The speed makes it look as if he has many arms…or legs.

@Leaves

Bullet launch shouldn't be able to cross massive distances instantly, and two step should of course be limited to short range/not spammable.

Jenso has final say, but I don't think there's too much wrong with it.

One Piece: New Age

I'm more upset TBH that everything is hinging on combat and pointing out its stupid to even bother trying to balance it as anyone can beat anything with a bit of brainpower.

@Archmage MC

I have a feeling people would absolutely stomp you in the arena.

@GiskOi, post your character sheet in the characters tab bruh.

By the by, it might be clear to the intelligent eye that the Divers are, in reality, not very organized.

@unfortunately

If Karida doesn't take command while Yvette is frozen, The Divers might just blow the ATV the hell up before anyone can react

Basically the idea would be to convert Arcane energy into kinetic energy. A bit like telekinesis, but it moves in jolts. There would be diminishing returns over greater distances.

@Gisk

Alright, you can drop his sheet in the characters tab. Assume that you're one of the junkers in the vehicle that hasn't said anything yet, if you'd like. Stuff is happening right now.

<Snipped quote by tex>

How is it created? And do you have a problem with players making up their own special materials?

By the by, my character is in a post above. In case you just check notifications.

@Gisk

Living steel is made by smelting regular steel with an arcanite base. I'll make a subsection on it eventually with all the details.

Characters are allowed to make their own special materials, but if its of any use practically, they would either be rich/popular, or they would have to hide it from the Main governments.

Finished Character

_{- - - - (Personal Details)}
First Name: Cecil
Last Name: Phyren
Age: 25
Gender: male
Home Nation: Teknoh
Appearance: 5’6 and 130 make Cecil a small figure, and the plain brown of his hair and eyes make him non-descript. His eyes seem large in his thin, soft face, and the dark circles under them are usually obscured by his horn rimmed glasses.

He dresses like the academic he was meant to be, crisp white shirt and gray twill pants held up by suspenders. He's opted for comfortable boots since joining the Survey Initiative, but this is his only concession to rugged practicality.

Personality: Not necessarily nervous by nature, but Cecil is a man who knows where he is comfortable. He likes quiet, and enjoys the exercise of his mind. It is the latter desire outgrowing the former that led him to join the Survey Initiative.
Communication is not his greatest skill, he has a habit of talking too fast and dropping ideas half way through in favor of new ones.
Cecil is a true believer. He has faith in society, humanity, and science.

History: A Teknoh native, Cecil first delved into the world of Arcan Science at the age of six in his mother’s home laboratory. She was away, and his father was no longer around, so he got into her equipment and books with no supervision. His fascination grew quickly, and he attended university before he was even a legal adult. During breaks, he co-opted the same lab he first explores for his own experimentation.

It wasn't long after his education was complete that he turned around and sought employment at the same institution he had just left. An old mentor got him a lab job, and he did it well, but found it to be unchallenging.

His mother was killed in a lab accident shortly after Cecil’s twenty-third birthday. Cecil disappeared into the spacious house his family had once lived in, and wasn't seen by anyone who knew him for two years.

When he emerged, he was surprisingly clean shaven and tidy, and seemed mostly back to his old self. He did, however, suddenly announce his decision to join the Survey Initiaive.

Occupation: Junker

_{- - - - (Power Matrix)}
Primary Focus: Arcane
Magical Capabilities:
His use of magic is primarily in magical technology.
Can make some decent conjurations on the fly, but greatly prefers more complex lab developed equipment.
Kinetic manipulation, but it's a last resort for him. He's spent a lot more time on technology than honing his magic skills.

Body Modifications:

Weapons and Equipment:
A sizable A/B. It's the size of a large dictionary and is in a padded hard plastic case, which itself is in a leather satchel. The satchel also contains an assortment of Machinist’s tools.

VAD: the Variable Ammunition Dispenser. The “dispenser” part is an example of Cecil’s brand of humor, as the device “dispenses” the ammunition at deadly velocity. But if you referred to it as a gun, Cecil would undoubtedly respond “it's much more than a gun!” And it is. The device, about the size and shape of a particularly bulky and squared rifle, plugs into an A/B and produces it's own Arcane Ammunition automatically, weaving the arcane energy from the battery into arcanite and charging it with an element or effect determined by the “setting” knob on the left side of the gun’s shell.
It takes longer to produce than an experienced Mage would, but it does so without any input from the user beyond the push of a reload button. It holds 25 bullets in the magazine, which can be ejected in the event that it needs to be loaded in the more conventional way.

Specialties: A brilliant machinist and Arcane Scientist. Has a passing knowledge of alchemy, acquired from occasionally working alongside more accomplished practitioners.

@Gisk

Conditionally Accepted, I like that rifle you've got there.

Briefly explain the extent of your Kinetic magic, and don't get too improvise-y with your conjurations.

Scattered Shades: Arcadia Chronicles

@tex
What is the "living steel" mentioned in Teknoh's description? I don't see it referenced anywhere else, unless there's something I missed.

@Gisk

Oh right, living steel is essentially a very powerful steel that resonated with arcane energy better than most other metals. It can be given a 'blueprint' that it will try to re-adhere, making it 'healable'

"Full throttle, Kenny!" Yvette called out, ignoring Onweer's inquiry as whether she could ride on top of the tank. Instead, she grabbed the girl's arm and pulled onto the vehicle forcefully, allowing the main entrance to close behind her. The giant vehicle hissed into action, frightening nearby civilians as it began to make its way towards the edge of the city, and ultimately, through the barrier. "Steady, now!" Kenny pulled at a few levers and twisted a knob near the top of the cockpit, which was locked off from the rest of the ATV with a massive steel door. The passenger area had more space than one might've expected, with several seats for everyone to sit comfortably separated from one another. The roof was just barely 6 feet of the ground, forcing some of the taller passengers to kneel forward, and there were two sealed gaps in the armor near the back and front of the ATV, supposedly used for covering fire or observation. Near the back of the truck, there was also a small circular hatch on the roof, near where Yvette chose to sit with Karida nearby. In the very back were a set of cases that held everything a Diver, or in this case, a junker would need. Arcane rifles, pistols, explosive devices, A/B's A/A and other supplies as well, including food and water. "Lighten up lass," Yvette barked, glaring at Karida, "We aren't even in the wilds yet!" She briefly looked over the other passengers with judgmental eyes. Ebenezer was talking to himself again, albeit for a brief moment. Yvette still didn't know why the CMAS insisted on replacing the previous glyph specialist with this kooky old hound. Then there was Brian, who'd sat down near Ebenezer. Odd, considering the boy's skittish nature, but Brian was an oddball as well, in his own way. He was lucky there weren't many mages in the CMAS who could match his surveying prowess- Hell, it was like this job was practically made for the guy! Onweer was a wild card, in this situation, since Yvette had no idea where she'd even come from, or why she was allowed a spot in the crew. Her attitude simply screamed problematic. Yvette sighed and sank into her seat uncomfortably, closing her eyes and tilting her head back.

"In a few hours we'll be reaching Xena!" Kenny shouted, ramping up the ATV's speed as they passed through the Arcadian barrier. "Welcome to no-man's-land!"

"KA-BOOM!"

"A little loud for CMAS officials!" Luke spat, loud enough for everyone nearby to hear. He peered around the rock that majority of the Divers were hiding around, just in time to see the Z-ATV's cannon tear a nearby boulder to pieces. Yvette was poking her head outside of the back hatch, peering around the rock-field curiously. "Oho!" Luke sung joyfully under his breath, "Eh, boys, break off into teams of 6. You, you, and... You three, you come with me," Luke said, pointing at 5 Divers are random despite having very little, or rather, zero knowledge on their abilities. "6 in front, 6 in back, and 6 on both sides. Surround em, got it? We gotta completely kill that thing's mobility and take out the cannon. After losing something so expensive, they're bound to postpone this shattered shit project for a while."

Yvette dropped back down into the vehicle and sealed the hatch above her once again. "Are you sure Brian? I don't see anyone!" She said, frustrated.

"At least 10, I'm sure! They've gotta be Divers- probably bandit Divers!" He explained in a hurry. Kenny had parked the ATV to fire the A/B laser cannon earlier, so the vehicle was paused in motion. He awaited further orders from Yvette, but she wasn't following up. She seemed lost in thought. "Yvette?.. Karida? What do we do?"
