[align=center]Assault on The Pearl[/align] [align=center]Hosted By Drachma[/align] https://images.alphacoders.com/152/152813.jpg[/img] [align=center]Drachma’s Expeditionary Branch’s efforts to establish outposts in preparation to expand to the East has led them to discover an Imperial outpost on The Pearl, a nearby island off the coast of the Black Shroud in Rothlyt Sound. To claim it means giving Eorzean Allied Forces a port in which to establish a nearby naval force to assault imperial forces. It would also be able to serve as a half way point for ships traveling to and from the East. Employment posters detailing Drachma's hiring of soldiers for a sea based assault on an undisclosed location can be seen in each major city, detailing the payment, and time and place of gathering. [/align] [align=center]The landing will be tough, and Garleans will no doubt begin preparations to defend the beach the moment the spot Eorzean Transport ships.

Well I'm a Doman Lalafell, if you don't mind that little twist to things. And obviously you two should have a NINJA chef battle. Throwing salt and pepper shakers at each other like kunai as you make your dishes. Stealthy combat and food preparation intertwined as you make a meal and try to hinder your opponent from doing the same! Of course! I'd definitely be down for some RP will have to wait a bit though. I got booked for saturday evening. Probably next week? Also yes, ninja chef battle please. That would be hilarious and awesome

Final exam in two hours. Need hugs, and motivation Q.Q

Hahaha we could have a cook off or a battle...or both. Vincent specializes in espionage and assassinations so Ayaka could rp with both aspects of Vincent if you choose. It'd be nice to meet another Doman...i don't think i've rp'd with a Doman character yet.

Vincent's a trained ninja, if you want an adversary look no further He's also quite good with making Doman cuisine. he's a chef afterall.

would like to put vincent up for auction for this event!

yeah can we get a pro/con list and or general review from those who have FFXV? I'd love to know what they did right and what they did wrong with this game.

Shush you, go back to your cooking and your kitchen knives. :^p We should have our guys fight-er...meet each other. i literally havent rpd with you in ages. cept for that one time at the GS...damn internet. good thing winter break is coming up. Oh by the way I decided to use the template you used. still midifying it a tad though, mine is pretty darn overdue for an update

who the fuck is this guy

I didn't want people to feel like he just has stuff with him haha, but i suppose I don't have to be that specific. I can just keep the quantity to myself and roll with that. If you want to look at it in broad strokes, you could break the equipment down into one of several categories, as you've taken steps towards doing in your opening post: Defensive equipment, combat equipment, so on. If you can refine those categories further to say four or five, then you can decide that in any given scene his equipment in one of those categories is lacking for one reason or another. This could be decided randomly or just by what makes sense in the circumstances. Once you've decided this, it is therefore possible for him to be caught flat-footed by a lack of equipment in that one category when he really needs it, while still giving a sense that he is overall well-prepared. All of the above presumes you want to avoid really granular bookkeeping, mind. If you're fine with keeping private track of his gear, more power to you. I've updated the list. I thought I might just keep it simple. Non-combatant, Combatant, and situational. The more heavy duty gear belong in situational, so if we're talking about him being flat-footed by a lack of equipment I'd say that takes care of that since there are items he wont be bringing on every mission.

Speaking only of the gear, it's probably not so much any single item he uses so much as the combination of then all at once. You should consider doing as Verad suggested and not worrying about keeping a detailed inventory, and/or narrowing it down to the few you really want him to use. Thematically it is a very busy sheet. It's my opinion that the various abilities and items he carries clash with one another on a conceptual level. The Ninja are supposed to be stealthy but his unique skill turns you into a voidsent, which are abomination to Eorzea and draw considerable negative attention. It clashes conceptually with the existing mudra abilities. He's a Doman shinobi as far as I can tell, but his gear seems optimized for big fights and explosions. Not that Ninja can't do this mind you, it just seems kinda random and not very fitting. Above all else, pay attention to the "what, why, how" of your character's abilities. What narrative purpose do these gadgets serve? Why does his clan have voidsent transformation on their menu? How did he master so many weapons at a young age and what consequences were there? Look at every aspect of your character and ask yourself if it's really needed, or just there because you think it's cool. You will find by paring things down to abilities that are thematically consistent with each other and the world, it gives you more room to develop him and wider options RP wise. Oh no that whole voidsent thing is gone, it wad just an idea i was playing with in my head. So that's no longer an issue . Focusing on the gear though i got my inspiration from batman, modern close quarterd combat, and gear that could possibly help mobility. I have been wondering if it's too many things yes so that's still something im working on. It's not on here but vincent fights using gadgets, weapons, and ninjustsu in conjunction with one another. I havent had any complaints during rp fights fighting like that so i guess that's good. I was thinking everything listed would be him fully kitted expecting a fight and his chosen equipment depends on the missions and situations he expects to encounter. The gear list was updated as a result of rp fights that almost killed him so he he felt h needed more advanced equipment to be able to keep up with the times.

Are you talking about the back story part or the gear part?

I must echo this statement. Lorewise, it is beyond the confusion of the Gods themselves as to what the hell the character would be. It looks as if you are focused on the wrong game/genre or are trying to make yourself an straight up Anime character. If you want to be remotely close to lore then ALOT of the story needs to be altered. Then again, second echo . . .RP what you want. Just don't be surprised if no one takes you seriously or wishes to RP in return. Nah lol not tryna do that haha, that was something i spun up to see what people would think. Tbh I guess I kind of expected what kind of responses I would get but when you're on adderal...well things keep going haha. What I really wanted to ask people about was the gear and stuff

yeah i figured as much lol, the backstory thing i was just curious about. If it werent you guys i was probably gonna kill it anyway. That aside though, are the gear too far fetched?

I didn't want people to feel like he just has stuff with him haha, but i suppose I don't have to be that specific. I can just keep the quantity to myself and roll with that.

I want to lore check and op check some of the new things i'm adding to vincent's character page so if you think something's wrong or could be done better feel free to comment below ((This next part is just some new equipment he's gotten, along with what he's carrying, his fighting style and his weaknesses and a brief history of his ninja lineage)) Quick History of Vincent's ninja heritage... Vincent inherited the history, or rather the clan Gekko no Kage (Moonlight Shadow), through his master Mansa Musha whom he also has taken the name of as an alias after his death. In history, the Gekko no Kage's shinobi were few but powerful, as masters could only take on one apprentice and the completion of one's training meant the apprentice had to surpass and overwhelm the his or her master. It is a trial that ends in the master's death and this practice was meant to preserve and perpetuate "elite purity" of the clan. In some instances the master, who has spent countless hours honing the skill of his/her disciple, ends up killing the apprentice in the final hour. This meant the clan's shinobi, those who were able to take on apprentices, chose their disciples wisely and trained them diligently. Disciples are chosen at a young age and training begins for however many years it takes for the apprentice to surpass his/her master. However this practice proved unsustainable over time as conflict wore on, even though many shinobi didn't strictly adhere to the code, preferring to fight alongside their disciple. Even so, continued conflict with outside forces renders "elite purity" unsustainable,eventually leaving Mansa Musha as the clan's sole surviving heir until he came across Vincent. At the height of his final trial Vincent reluctantly strikes down Mansa, whom in his dying breath passes on the clan's final soul stone of many generations to Vincent. Non-Combatant Equipment ((gear Vincent carries on a day to day basis)) Grappling Pistol Impact (delayable)Smoke Grenade Frying Pan Lockpicks Combat Ready Equipment This is a comprehensive list of his battle gear. What he actually carries into battle is situationally dependent. Carried at all times when on Missions, etc. Mod-able Magitek Gauntlets both fitted with hidden wrist blades. Blade Functions: Extend/retract, projectile. Left Gauntlet fitted with Grappleshot that shoots and retrieves target. Lift capability:100 ponze. Range: 15 yalms Gauntlet Functions: Enhanced Grip strength and fist durability Magitek Grappling Gun (Pistol). Range: 70 yalms. Lift capabilities: 350 ponze Shuriken smoke grenades Pair of daggers or short swords, scimitars, etc. Situationally Dependent Equipment A comprehensive list equipment Vincent will only bring if he knows what adversaries he will be facing or if he has an idea of what to expect "Hullbuster" Short spear with diamond shaped charge at the end. Shaped charge end anchors to target upon impact. Can be thrown. Can be set to detonate on impact or delayed. Upon detonation copper liquifies as it explodes forward and hopefully pierces the target armor, injuring what is behind or underneath. Hullbusters are slung over the shoulder. Shuriken bombs Lightning Shuriken Flashbang (stun grenade) Causes immediate flash blindness, deafness, tinnitus, confusion and disorientation and loss of coordination and balance. Works best in-doors and within close proximity to target when outdoors Incindiary Grenade Fragmentation Grenade Sickle and Chain http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/residentevil/images/a/a2/GrappleGun-RE6.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150123120251[/img]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/shingekinokyojin/images/b/b3/Hanges_diagram_of_the_Thunder_Spears_leathality.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160215012841[/img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/7f/c0/38/7fc038ae77fba21dbcebd3e956db3400.jpg[/img]
