Battle Stats

BATTLE STATS

A significant part of life at Finchwood Academy revolves around honing one's Persona and preparing to do battle with the otherworldly Shadows. Fill out the form below to help the mods out and give everyone the details of your character's combat style and their other self!

Responses are screened until the mods approve the character. This must be done, along with the Application before a character will be accepted.

A summary of battle stats (by squad), levels, and additional character abilities can be found HERE.



    Character Name: Character's name.

    Squad: Select your character's squad. These are pre-assigned for squad leaders.
    Squad Position: Select your character's position on the squad. This can be Leader, Second, Member (High/Medium/Low), or Support based on what's available. Leaders and supports are pre-determined and can be found on the Character Roster.
    Primary Weapon: Select your character's weapon of choice. Supports may mark this question as N/A.
    Combat Style: Outline particular combat skills here, along with their attitude in battle. Are they gung-ho? Do they try to protect their teammates at risk of themselves? Do they try to let others do the heavy lifting? For support characters, this is how they handle their role and how they generally treat their team. Do they worry all the time? Are they quick to point out things, even if they're not a threat? Are they relaxed?

    Attribute: Select the attribute that best defines your character's abilities: Strength, Stamina, Speed, or Balance! This will not impact bonuses but it it will impact narrative elements and dungeon navigation.

    Persona Name: Please select an available Persona listed under your house.
    Persona Appearance: Provide a brief description of your Persona.
    Affinity: Select one of the two elements available to your character's house. This is the element that your character will be most proficient in attacking with and defending against. Swords may choose Air or Thunder, Cups may choose Water or Ice, Wands may choose Fire or Lightning, and Coins may choose Earth or Stone.
    Weakness: Please select one of the elements not associated with your character's house. This will be the element that does the most damage against your character and their Persona.
    Ailment Susceptibility: Select the mental or physical ailment that your character is particularly susceptible to: Poison, Sleep, Mute, Confusion, Enervation, Rage, Fear, Forget, Charm, and Despair. All characters may get all status ailments, but this will be the one most likely to impact the character. Keep in mind that a toned down version of the ailment may, at times, linger with the character for a few days after the initial exposure.

Tate Minett

[personal profile] tater_tot 2019-04-03 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Tate Minett

Squad: Squad 9
Squad Position: Member
Primary Weapon: Longbow
Combat Style: Tate is calculated when he fights - he wants to make sure he's maximizing his usefulness, he wants to make sure he's being tactical, he wants to make sure that his shots will land. He's good at thinking on his feet, and decently good at listening to instructions... but when not in the midst of battle, Tate is easily distracted by the strangeness of the Shadow World. Is that a hole he can peer into? Is that some weird object he can pick up? His natural curiosity can lead him astray, and while he probably won't entirely wander off, don't expect him to not accidentally hold up the group sometimes by looking at some curious plant or weird object that's caught his eye. Occasionally this means he'll find something useful. But most of the time this just means you need to snap your fingers at him to get his attention.

Attribute: Balance

Persona Name: Veuliah
Persona Appearance: Veuliah, in a vacuum, appears as a vaguely humanoid, origami-esque figure made of waterlogged book pages. The letters are all bleeding beyond recognition, and a steady stream of water pours from its hands and down its body, as though it's standing under a waterfall. It's not an aggressive stream, though, and a few inches from its body the water disappears into nothingness. But Veuliah is a Persona that isn't static - it adapts to its surroundings, pulling not only from other Personas around it, but the environment in general. It may maintain a humanoid shape, or it may take on a more animalistic form, but it consistently has this water pouring off of it, and is consistently made of water-warped book pages. As the year has gone on, others might notice that Veuliah has a few more consistent features that seem to be adapted from people Tate is close to, or their Personas.

Affinity: Water
Weakness: Thunder
Ailment Susceptibility: Sleep
