Hey ARB, what would you think of Yurie and Tankyuusha being somewhat silent travel partners?

That'd be fine! It'd be an odd couple, to say the least, but that's what makes it interesting. Otherwise, she's pretty curious and cheery despite her ambiguous state of mortality, but has more faraway stares and general lassitude during the evenings. Yurie would certainly be big on uncomfortable ellipses regarding Tankyuusha's nature, doubly so when coming to his work, but she can cope given she isn't personally exposed to it to the consequences of it. Which certainly would never come up, and everything will be just be totally copacetic.

We need Dragon-type Pokemon to help us prepare our food before we cook it. We're not sure why!

Oh, if we're sharing pictures:

And here's Jugemu.



The red hair is a side effect of the shiki binding.

Edit: As much as I'd like even more Aiki, I think a character like Jugemu would work best coming into the story by himself, unless someone has a really good idea.

Asuka, along with a number of her family before her, was introduced to the priesthood when she was deemed 'ready', and rather quickly put herself to making use of what she could get from them to put together her prototypes for her own contribution to the family collection: an extremely powerful and efficient firearm to be made in mass production for cheap. While most of her experiments were complete messes, especially the cursed shotgun she still can't manage to get rid of for more than a few moments, she managed to cobble together something close to success before realizing the priesthood had probably noticed the various materials found missing from their warehouses and that she should probably pack up and run.

While ridiculous looking, the gold-plated handcannon proved to be an extremely effective weapon, though the logistics of a pistol capable of firing with the effectiveness of a rifle are complicated at best. Despite toying with it for years, Asuka's yet to quite perfect her masterwork and continues to roam around in search of ideas, remaining just barely out of the priesthood's grasp so far. Progress hasn't exactly been speedy between all the moving around and poorly thought out money-making schemes she's made up.

Fate:
Goal: Complete The Golden Child 3
Emotion: Greed 2

Skills:
Interface (3), Shinto (2), Marksmanship (3), Notice (2), Information (3) [1 AP]

Equipment: Amafuda Pass, Meikyo Soul Mirror, Interface Helm, Gunsmith's Kit
Equip Cost: 30 + 16
Weapons:
Handcannon "The Golden Child" (Masterwork, Oddly-Shaped Rifle) Damage +8, RoF 3, Range 50m, Ammo 7
SMG "The Silver Spoon" (Large, Painful-Looking Repeater) Damage +5, RoF 3, Range 30m, Ammo 12
Shotgun "The Lead Stocking" (Ayakashi-cursed Scattergun) Damage +6, RoF 5, Range 20m, Ammo 10
I think I did this right? Gunsmith is basically just an excuse for me to make a few custom gunpowder weapons and get Marksmanship and Notice, because there's basically nothing available for making a shooty person who isn't messing around with soulgems. Not entirely sure on the scale of fates, but I imagine actually getting the gun done right isn't impossible by any means.

As for running into people, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Asuka ran into Gun and took an interest in his namesake, and probably attempted to 'improve' it. Up to unseen!

Okay. Looks like we're all set, so I'm going to try and have the Zero Acts up tonight.

Sentry, is Asuka affiliated with the Southern or Northern Court?

Whoops, forgot the courts were important. Asuka would be Northern, capable of digging around in the expensive junk despite being so low rank without having to do much sneaking around. I would take a wild guess and say even the North frowns on someone stealing a bunch of assembly parts and tools from some warehouse, though.

I regrettably lack pictures of gun-toting mechanics, alas.

So, you may be asking yourselves "what the gently caress was that?"

The gently caress that was was what turned out to be an ill-advised experiment on my part. I was wondering how you'd do if you basically went full kijin, and the answer is surprising, given how many attribute points you lose.

Short version is that if you take an implanted kimen mirror, you get to use Interface to substitute for your basic skills. Take +2 to Interface rolls most of the time from an interface implant and then a bunch of situational bonuses, like adding your mechanica arm damage to all your defense rolls and you have a weirdly capable entity for something that's basically got two points in every stat. While you have a wound track that goes 2:1:1:1, you can also rack up something like 30 VP, boost your SP by an almost equal number and get a device that'll transfer SP into VP as a free action, and you have a surprisingly capable character in very specific fields with high durability.

The downside is that this is dull as poo poo to fight against, apparently, because it turns into "Nuh uh, you can't hit me, oh and I can't hit you." So, lesson learned for future fights, and while Mino will probably be back, I'm really hoping it won't be in a context where you're trying to punch each other.

Thank you all for putting up with that, and I promise I will do my best to make sure that doesn't crap out again.

I'm totally down for some experimental weird fights, I just completely blanked on things to do. Me pulling up Miko Google was basically the best thing I could think of, mostly because I have no idea how rules or whatever involving pulling poo poo out of my magical murderbag would work for causing havoc in the environment in TBZ. I'm probably missing something really obvious though. :v:
