Dio Brando - DioBrando - 02-04-2015
Character name: Dio Brando
Character source: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
Character history: Born to a poor family, but with endless ambition Dio grew up a bitter child who's heart was filled with malice. Learning how to manipulate others at a young age Dio quickly rose to dominate the slum in which he lived. However, ambition had it's limits in the age of nobility, trapped in the slums Dio grew to hate his father for the events in his life, blaming him for his circumstances and for driving his mother to her death bed. This persisted for years until Dio was old enough to support himself off his talent and guile, and eventually Dio decided to poison his father cursing the man to a slow painful death. However, when his father died and revealed to him the favor he did for George Joestar twelve years ago, handing his son a letter that described the events within and would secure him a place in the Joestar household. Dio Brando seized this chance, seeing a chance to overcome his peasant roots and rise to become the most powerful man in the world he set his plan into motion from a young age, abusing the only son of George Joestar and manipulating the world around Johnathon to drive the boy to despair and make him realize that for his entire life he would do nothing but live in Dio's shadow. His plan very nearly succeeded if not for the influence of one Erina Pendleton, but Dio was not one to surrender so easily, seeing Johnathon trapped in the throes of love admist a sea of despair he approached her one day, and stole the first kiss of Johnathon's girlfriend. Enraged by this Johnathon would overcome despair, the hot blooded scion of the Joestar line burning with rage would come to Dio and in the ensuing beat down Dio would discover the first inkling towards transcending his humanity, and in this, he plotted and waited.
12 years passed and Dio was graduating from college, the valedictorian of the prestigious university Dio's genius was obvious to all, combined with his massive frame and swift movements he was an unrivaled pair with his former rival Johnathon. Dio had won his way back into "Friendship" with Johnathon over the years, and in his mind the hero had taken the bait hook line and sinker while he was poisoning his father, angling to inherit the entire Joestar fortune by manufacturing a series of unfortunate events using the mask that Johnathon was studying. However, he was caught. Through some twist of fate Johnathon caught on to Dio's masterful ploy, and discovered that he was poisoning his father. Cast out of the estate for the time Dio turned to drinking, the same deplorable habit that had lead his father to poverty and a life in the slums, and in a drunken rage he murdered two men. Or, that is how it should have gone. When he used the mask to murder the first of the men he got back up. Now in possession of far more strength than any human had ever had in history and possessed of a constitution that transcended reason the man attacked Dio, and even after having his arm split in half he still attacked, the merest graze shattering Dio's collarbone, and there Dio believed he would die. However, as all was lost and the monster loomed over him to drain his blood the sun began to rise, Dio had been saved by the rise of the sun! Now, Dio knew that he could transcend not just the limits of his birth, but also the limits of humanity! Thus, with the stone mask in hand did Dio return to the house, feigning remorse he drew Johnathon in close to attempt a final good bye, but in that moment just as the final slash was about to be delivered Johnathon's father ran into the blade, substituting his life for that of his sons. However, this noble sacrifice bought Johnathon only a moment's peace to say good bye as Dio put on the mask, bullets firing into him as the police in attendance gunned Dio down, thinking that they had finished the monster known as Dio Brando.
However, they did not yet know what a true monster was. Moments later Dio reincarnated as a vampire who had transcended humanity he entered the room, decapitating one of the officers in a single blow, his hand gliding through the man's skull like a blade through paper, the lifeless corpse of what had been a proud officer of the law toppling to the ground as so much useless meat. Seeing this terrifying display the officers opened fire once more, but found that this time their bullets didn't even possess the power to slow this new monster. Advancing on the officers he would slaughter them one by one, and then he turned his sights on Johnathon. The last barrier to his complete assumption of the Joestar fortune. Intent on murdering the would be hero he chased him throughout the mansion, even as the mansion burned around him he would chase the hero, the flames that burned within unable to kill the monster that he had become. Though through great effort Johnathon would through a great struggle finally trap dio in a free fall where he would end, impaled upon a statue of the goddess of love as the mansion burned in a roaring inferno around him.
Joestar went to recuperate, but as his foe licked his wounds Dio would emerge from the ashes as a more cautious man, no longer allowing emotions to rule him he would gather allies, recruiting the most foul and evil men in the history of England he would force a small English town into submission before him. However, Johnathon had found a master to teach him The Ripple. An art created to hunt the likes of Dio who hid from the sun, and in a heroic conflict that lead to the death of Johnathon's teacher as well as many others Dio was eventually felled, Decapitated as he was pushed from a tower it seemed for sure now that Dio was finally dead.
Little did they know that even decapitation was not enough to end Dio, however, in their conflict Dio had learned a grudging respect for Johnathon. Finally considering the insignificant man he had known as a hero worthy of being his equal. Thus, he decided that he was going to take his body, shooting pressurized fluid out of his eyes in order to incapacitate Johnathon with the surprise attack, cutting off his airflow and the source of his power he forced Johnathon to use his final ripple, the hero giving everything he had to finally destroy the monster he had grown up with, and in the final moments of his life telling Dio that their fate truly was intertwined and that he had always seen him as his brother.
Tragedy however, rarely ends this way, and in Dio's final moments aboard that ship he would stow he and Johnathon's body away within a coffin aboard the ship, and through a century of drift he eventually found himself re-awakening within the nexus, his new body finally recuperated, and Dio given a chance to conquer a new world.
Stats:
ATK:4
DEF:2
SPD:3
TEC:1
Starting Proficiencies:
Physical Strength: Dio is an incredibly powerful being as a vampire, the precursor to his world's "Ultimate Being" he is able to support a man's weight in just one hand, and punch through a wall but not much more right now.[/b] (1000 OM)
Debuff Proficiency: Able to drain the blood of his enemies, and freeze them with the use of his total control of his body. Dio is a master of battlefield control and setting the pace in his fights. (1000 OM)Starting Powers:
Powers:
Regeneration (Advanced): Dio, as a vampire is able to regenerate nigh infinitely from non fatal wounds, this includes even wounds from weapons inflicted by traditional anti vampire weaponry. Dio is not a republic serial villain, there is no hidden weakness here, well except sunlight. That kills him.
(1200 OM)
Super Speed: As a vampire Dio is capable of movement far beyond a normal humans, however, he's not quite used to moving around in his new body quite yet, so this means that it takes awhile to build up to the full speed, and he can't turn very well yet.
(1000 OM)
Starting Moves:
Vaporization Freezing Technique (気化冷凍法 Kikareitōhō?): A freezing ability enabling Dio to freeze his own body parts and transfer this over to other objects or beings. It is able to cancel out the Hamon (An energy controlled by breathing and blood flow.) by freezing the blood in the user's body.This allows him to both effectively block attacks in melee, and do damage to his opponents while freezing or slowing them. Technique deals light damage to Dio in the process as his own limb is frozen solid, essentially forcing his regeneration into overdrive. This attack can freeze or slow someone for up to a minute depending on how much damage Dio can deal to their blood vessels. If used as the killing blow the victims body is frozen solid, and they shatter with the lightest of physical blows. Also requires 1 second of wind up to use offensively, can be charged longer to encase an entire limb in ice through 10 seconds of prolonged physical contact. Long story short, don't grapple Dio. (Costs 600.)
Sunlight weakness: Dio, if exposed to sunlight for a period greater than 10 seconds suffers massive damage, the skin sloughing off his body, and then his bones turning to ash. This is an instant death that can only be avoided through either moving fast enough to avoid the source of light touching him for long enough, but even brief exposure does more damage to Dio than a gunshot.
(Spent OM: 4500)
(Remaining OM: 500)
I confirm that I have read and agreed to the Rules of Conduct.
Re: Dio Brando - Guu - 02-04-2015
Few things to mention.
1. It's not required of you to write down explanations of why you have certain proficiencies and powers. Not a huge problem, still gets the job done, and shows how into this you are.
2. Regeneration is a power, not a proficiency. Makes sure this is listed right considering powers have different rules from Profs.
3. You cannot purchase power-ups until level 2.
4.

Please explain the duration of the move. How long does it take to wear off? How long does it take Dio to prepare it?
This will need serious caveats to clear. Dio needs to lose something in exchange to balance this move. Does it exhaust him to do this? For reference, look at the loops my second character had to leap through just get clear a move that slows an opponent moderately for one round. So, think a bit more on this.
Also, does the last line suggest that you have a choice between freezing them or slowing them?
Re: Dio Brando - Omni - 02-04-2015
When using terminology from your show like "Hamon" try and explain because we don't automatically know what that means.
In simple terms, Dio freezes one of his own body parts. This allows him to block more effectively but he can't use it for other things. It deals light damage to himself. It also slows the opponent for one round (two posts). It also takes one second of windup. Is that correct? It may need a bit of rewriting because it was pretty confusing. It's also a bit strong for a move, really.
Oh and just as a side reference (for Guu as well as anyone else reading), it's generally best not to use entire rounds as a basis for a debuff. That's essentially a third of the entire fight and it kind of ignores word count too so it's a bit weird. Best to give a rough time frame, and then that can also be changed depending on your attack in the opponent's defence in a real fight. Like "a fully charged ice beam can freeze on opponent's limb for up to a minute".
Re: Dio Brando - Omni - 02-04-2015
Wait so it encases both Dio and the opponent's limb in ice equally? In Dio's case it becomes harder, in the opponent it becomes more brittle? And also they're slowed?
Oh and did that example I used, the 'up to' bit was pretty important because as I said before, this kind of thing should depend on your ATK and TEC versus your opponent's DEF.
As it stands the move would be 600. It always works the same way, except when charged, which is where the extra 300 comes from.
Just post again with the edited version so we can see when you've changed it.We may not be watching the chat box.

Re: Dio Brando - Omni - 02-04-2015
Okay it's gonna need homing since an opponent can't dodge it. Does it also slow Dio? Is it one-to-one damage basically?

It's literally Melee contact only, they have to be touching him. He can't do it if they aren't in direct physical contact.
Also no, it does not slow Dio.
Re: Dio Brando - Omni - 02-04-2015
Ohhhh I get it now. It's literally a direct contact transfer.
Approved at 600. Sorry that took so long.

Doesn't Advanced Regeneration cost 1800 OM?
