Change Character: Xavier Vonzell to Ricter Casenger

[Ricter]

CHARACTER NAME: Ricter Casenger

CHARACTER SOURCE: OC

CHARACTER HISTORY: Ricter’s universe is that of old fairy tails and foke lore, where princesses get woken up by kisses and animals talking is fairly the norm. However in this setting it was a lot less cheerful and more so realistic, if that couldn’t be contrary enough, regardless Ricter was the pet of seemingly a small girl. One that took fairly good care of him and ensured he was well fed, petted, and well just about anything you can do with a weasel. But as the girl grew up she began to dabble in magic, getting better at it in secret away from her parents, even becoming so good she enrolled in many classes and things of that nature. After some years the weasel had gotten old, fairly close to death while his master had managed to become a lovely young woman, capable of many feats and skills.
 
However she didn’t wish to let her companion go, with the use of a ritual that was exclusive to witches he was made into a familiar, a creature enhanced with the power of magic and made to do the bidding of his summoner or master. Starting out small at first he was granted some symbolance of a body to halt the aging process, and even learned to use tools and skills humans could do, in a funny away she was now helping him to grow up. But word would begin to spread about a witch in the village, which scared the woman, knowing they had meant her as her rituals and many somewhat illegal crafts had gained the ire of those who would due to stop it.
 
By this time he had gained the ability to use weapons, which she would bestow on him a sword by the name of Lanor. It was a weapon to allow him to heal others and cut those he didn’t like, it was made so he could protect her and so he did. When the night of the raid happened both his witch companion and himself were ready, he’d avoid fighting but work to defend his friend against any dangers, they brought many people with pitch forks and spears, some even having magic of their own too. In the end though they escaped, though damaged and injured, he managed to heal them both and they got away.
 
Years would follow and he’d be more so an adult again, capable of speaking as well as human-like interactions too. He’d live somewhat contently with his witch of a master, enjoying banter, company and over all he was happy and so was she. Though one day she would have him go out to fetch some herbs for her, she had planned a nice celebration for her 122nd birthday party and she didn’t want to make it as bland as last year. So he would go out and try to get them, however instead of finding herbs he found a simple rift in the space of a tree, pretty typical given shes done way more interesting things before. So with curiosity baring his mind he would simple go through, wondering what was on the other side, but little did he know that he’d be dumped into the Nexus, far from his own world.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Ricter is a short statuesque weasel with white fur covering his mouth leading down to his stomach, while the rest of his body is covered in tan fur. With a slim build and rounded ears he has brown colored paw pads and a large poofy tail, the fur on it being grown out over the years. Height wise he is quite larger than a normal critter, being well around 5’8, though also being at around168 lb he stands about as tall as an average human, while opting to wearing simple clothing like shirts, jeans, and what ever he thinks would be nice. But mostly just a simple red shirt over a green one and brown jean pants, he opts to go bare footed almost all the time.

STATS:
ATK: 1
DEF:  4
SPD: 3
TEC: 2

STARTING PROFICIENCIES:

Physical Strength – 1000 OM

STARTING POWERS:
 
Healing - 3000 OM

STARTING MOVES:

Lanor: (600 OM) [Requires Physical , Healing]
Is a 4’7”ft long, 5 inch width, double edged broad sword that has a stainless steel look to it with a brown handle and cross-guard, being balanced in speed and weight. After a five second channel time the blade can be toggled too close small wounds of any living things it slices, leaving non painful glowing gashes that mend small cuts on the body and vanish after contact with the blade has ended. After another five second channel it may return to a normal blade, the blade cannot damage or harm any organic targets while charged and it behaves normally to metal contact.

Everything seems good here, I think, except for your move.

The melee attacking part is fine. But the healing part needs some changes.

Firstly: To heal anyone else, you'll need the healing power (not just advanced regen).

Secondly: It will normally take a minute or so of concentration to fully heal cuts, and quite a bit less to close them. So the healing rate here where it can heal moderate wounds is way too strong in comparison. You could charge it up for like 5 seconds or so per swing and then heal just over 5 seconds worth of healing at once or something. More of you made it tiring to use - but your current fatigue level isn't really enough to actually heal wounds without a charge per swing as well. Or maybe just have it close small wounds or something rather than actually healing them.

Basically, compare the amount of healing you can do with the power description. And if you add more drawbacks, you can heal a bit more. But I'd advise just having the sword close wounds rather than healing - since otherwise you'd need a lot of drawbacks to get the strength you want it to be.

Okay, I updated it and added the recommended changes.

Welcome back to the OV, dude. I'll ping someone to get your name and stuff sorted since I can't do it myself. Do you prefer just "Ricter" or "Ricter Casenger"?

Also, I was thinking about your move and it reminded me of something else that you might want to use for balance purposes (if you feel like changing/upgrading it).

Sustain (300) Requires: Time Manipulation, Ranged, Buff
[spoiler]By focusing intently for one second and expending a small amount of energy, Viola can 'freeze' wounds. This prevents it from healing naturally, but also partially stops time in that area of the body having the effect of also stopping blood loss completely. Viola can use this on herself or anyone within 30m of her - although she needs to be able to see or sense the wound and her target needs to be roughly still relative to her. Anyone with a 'frozen' wound can cause it to start healing naturally by focusing on healing it (but it will also start bleeding again). Wounds targeted with this move slowly shift into a 'frozen' state over the next two seconds, so this won't immediately stop blood loss. This requires a small amount of energy to initially use and doesn't need any energy or concentration to maintain. Viola can only target one wound at once with this, or multiple smaller cuts. But can use this multiple times consecutively and have many uses of Sustain active at once.[/spoiler]
The above doesn't actually heal anything, but it does stop blood loss. So if you wanted to add an upgrade to your sword that made it stop/reduce blood loss caused by large wounds - without actually really healing them - I think that'd be fine. Although it might need multiple swings to fully stop blood loss, I'd say. That said, a lingering beneficial effect like "this wound doesn't bleed" would require buff proficiency (you do have the OM to spare if you wanted). (But your quick small heals - like closing small cuts - don't need buff as they're instant effects rather than a lingering benefit outside the realm of just healing them.)

Anyway, feel free to reply in this thread with any further questions.

I derped and somehow copied a line from the wrong roster. Should be fixed now. (Both here and in your log)

[Ricter]

Okay and thanks, this dose give me some Idea if something I had in mind. And Ricter is just fine.

Ill use the move thread for more on it later, thanks again though. ^.^

[Dane Regan]

Awesome sauce. Everything should be sorted now, and it seems a ninja-staffer already updated your name before I could ask. Shoot me a PM or ask at the help desk if you need anything.
