NPCs: Cole Edition

[ColeArkenach]

Hello! I'm Jeremy, and I've been playing OVA for only a short time, but I've been really enjoying myself. I decided I'd come on every now and again and contribute to the forum with NPCs. I have some I want to make, and I'll post 'em every now and then. First, let's start with a rather simple one: Reiji Yoshino (and Sakura since she's his companion) from the Fortissimo//Akkord series!

Tell me if I made any mistakes, and let me know how you like it! I'll post again soon, hopefully.

Welcome!

The only issue I see is Sakura has 16 points in Abilities but her notes say 15. Other than that, attacks and formatting looks good. Very good start!

Fixed, and thanks for the warm welcome!

I intend to post some more today. I've stayed up all night (again) so I may pass out soon and wake up in the middle of the day. Either way, expect something new soon!

Actually, one more thing. At the moment, Reiji only needs Companion at +1, since Sakura's total Weaknesses and Abilities add up to 1. While a starting PC gets up to 5 points of difference between Abilities and Weaknesses per Rule Zero, a Companion has up to the level of Companion for the difference. So you could either add 3 more Ability points to Sakura, remove 3 points of Weaknesses from her, or lower Reiji's Companion level to 1.

This is a bit late, but oh well. More stuff, this time a two-for-one deal (last time doesn't count because Sakura was a companion D:<)! This time I'll be doing a canon character and an original character of mine.

First up is a Russian Technomancer I made for my Shadowrun game a while back, Maxim Sudelenkov Valentinovich (I'm not sure I spelled the middle/last name right but oh well). He was a hacker who had dreams of making it big and becoming a business man, gradually amassing money and resources until he could start his own Corp: ValenTech! He's a pretty damn good hacker, yet tends to use it to do nefarious things (such as ruining the lives of people he finds online).

The second is Mugen from Samurai Champloo, the erratic vagabond who uses his signature "Champloo Style" which is partially derived from break dancing.

Thanks for taking the time to share these write-ups! It's always great to see how various anime standbys translate to OVA.

No problem! I've been meaning to add more, but I've been busy with other things. I am running an OVA game on Fridays however, and if I get to writing up anime NPCs I'll be sure to post them here.

Good job Cole. Your NPC's look spot on.
