Fullmetal Alchemist - Lure of the Flames (Recruiting)

[Jemal]

Nali - That works fine, there's actually a suggested way to do just that in the book, just make the base range of the power Touch, and it starts at you (Which makes sense for the power, He starts the ground moving and it streams outward from him). Also to account for the price drop, I added a Trip effect to it, representing the rolling earth knocking people down, which fits nicely

Well, here's version 2.0

Many of Williams powers are Limited to earth-based effects.
Earth Alchemy: fairly self-explanatory - William is better at Transmuting Earth/stone than he is at everything else
Earth Spike/Blast: The attack juts out from the earth, so is limited to only being able to strike those near Earth/Stone: Up a tree, or on top of a building, or inside a train would make it unusable. Earth Spike is a single Stalagmite striking, Earth Blast is a rolling wave of earth.
Earthsaper Boots: They have a permanent, very well-drawn Alchemy circle on them which helps William in several ways, allowing him to 'push' off the ground much faster/harder than normal by making it push back (Increasing his speed and jumping abilities and making him harder to move when he doesn't want to be.

[Nali]

Glad to see we're on the same page of things Jemal. I'm also really glad I looked into the book before posting this. Was going to disagree with the whole area based touch effect, then I actually read the damn rules. >.<

Everyone else is coming along well I hope?

 

[Voda Vosa]

Well, after much thought, I came up with this concept. As usual, in this manga there's a lot of "old-wise" folk around, I intend this character to be one of them. He is an old martial artist, that has left the fight a long time ago. He is happy serving as warden and elder of the small Ishibar village in which he lives, hidden in the mountains; but when he learns about the perils that are growing in the far lands, he decides to take cards in the matter, as he understand his village would not be safe for much, if this is allow to grow to bigger proportions.

[Nali]

Yay, another mostly complete character. =)

Just a couple of things I noticed as I was going to bed:

- Your defenses seem really low unless I'm missing something. Its fine if its intentional, but it seems like it would be pretty fatal. o.o

- I've been glancing in the book but have yet to find an answer. How does immunity to fatigue sync up with extra effort.

- I'm wondering if the limited flaw might make its way into the suffocation immunity. You can leave it as is if you'd like, but it just seems odd that the old man quite literally does not need to breath.

Other than that, I like him. =)

 

[Jemal]

I've always seen it ruled(And done so myself) that immunity to fatigue/exhaustion does not apply to Extra Effort (Otherwise people would take it all the time and extra effort everything).

 

[Voda Vosa]

Yeah, I always ruled it like Jemal said too, otherwise it would be kinda powergame, should have clarified.
About the suffocation I can add the limited flaw, so it's only for certain amount of time. An hour? The idea would be that he has such a mastery in the control of his own body that he can lower his respiratory needs at almost 0.
Defenses seemed fine to me, +9 in every roll gives an average of 19. I'ts pretty similar to the alchemist Jemal posted. Besides I can boost them when I use the Chi power to boos the ability scores.

 

[Nali]

Ohhhh, Pluuuuus 9. Sorry, I was reading Jemal's and seeing 19, then reading yours and seeing nine. >.<

I'm happy with an hour of activity, or six hours of inactivity (Say if you decide to basically meditate and manually control your breathing.)

In addition, having looked through your sheet a little closer I am concerned about one thing. I didn't notice the first time through that you had boost. Mostly I'm curious what you're going to be using it for. =)

With Chi he would be able to Boost his Str, Dex or Con by 11.

 

[Shayuri]

Hngh. Stupidly busy latey. I'll have my character done by the end of the week. Hopefully before, but no later.
