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.

Neal Valentine

[personal profile] heliocentrist 2018-07-22 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Neal Valentine

Squad: 11
Squad Position: Leader
Primary Weapon: Rope dart/chain whip, often set on fire. (x, x)
Combat Style: Neal is a classic glass cannon, able to move quickly and deal large amounts of damage with his rope dart and magic attacks. He's formidable in that regard, and his soaring flames can make any enemy think twice.

However, Neal can't take as much damage as he deals out, and relies on the rest of his squad to have his back. Without anyone to defend him, he's not too hard to take out due to his relatively fragile constitution. If he doesn't have solid support, Neal relies on being able to take out his opponents as quickly as possible, hoping to defeat them before they can get a serious hit in. Otherwise, he's toast. It's a risky strategy, but with a solid group behind him Neal's a strong point for his squad and can do a great deal of damage to shadows.

Attribute: Strength (magical)

Persona Name: Sitael (Angel of the Construction of The Universe and Worlds)
Persona Appearance: A dark shadowed knight backlit by fiery light. Flames lick around Sitael's silhouette like the sun's corona, and the air near him ripples and warps from the heat. Sitael's eyes peer out at you as bright hot points of light from a dark face. His body and limbs are long but he hunches low to the ground with graceful, inhuman movements. If he stood, he might exceed 15'. He leaves wispy arcs of flame in his wake. His armor looks burnt and sooty, but you can see suns, stars, and other celestial bodies alongside Egyptian poetry etched into it under the grime. Example:
The Harper's Song for Inherkhawy (Excerpt, circa 1160 BC)

So seize the day! hold holiday!
Be unwearied, unceasing, alive
you and your own true love;
Let not the heart be troubled during your sojourn on Earth,
but seize the day as it passes!
When Neal uses a special ability, a halo and three pairs of wings, also made of fire, briefly appear, but Sitael still doesn't stand up straight. (Visual references: x, x)

Affinity: Fire
Weakness: Ice
Ailment Susceptibility: Confusion
