How Cool Are You? Could YOU Be MY Sidekick?

[Asriel Dreemurr]

Thanks, Chara.

[Jade Harley]

;;;D?? How about it?

[The Vision]

Vision:
You're cool. Really cool. You're a robot with super cool robot things. You've got lasers, and in the future you're even getting a big explosion move! Green is a lame colour though, but I'll overlook it since you can fly. And, you can even learn my moves as well with your mimic! Your conversation abilities and hacking only serve to increase your score further.

In conclusion: 9.5/10 - Go learn all those awesome moves you've got planned. Maybe get some flame decals and a paint job. Then you're set. I'm a bit concerned how frail you are for a robot though. Even I can tank better than you, but I guess that's the trade off you had to make when gaining the ability to fly. Heck, if you did all that I'd have to give you a score above 10! (not the factorial, you're not that good)

Just wait until I get my Stat Upgrade >

Can you also rate Ogong? I think we'd get along.

[Summer]

*throws his hat into the ring*
Either half is fine

[Gaston]

No one is cool as Gaston!

[Ebonywood Hellscythe]

Dawn: 
Whoah! You're sort of like a ninja, but with out the ninja stealth stuff and with lots of guns instead. So... not really a ninja. Dunno where that came from. But it gives you cool points! The headphones and your whole theme you've got going works super well. And you have explosives! Even more bonus points for all the demon stuff.

Erika: 
At first I thought, "nah, your outfit ain't cool", but I'm beginning to actually have some second thoughts here. You can probably go somewhere with it. Move and ability wise, similar to Dawn. The whole "two people in one body" also gives you some bonus points.

In conclusion (combined ranking): 8/10 - Guns and Explosions. Demon stuff. A katana. Two people in one body. But you're still missing out on the top tier of cool stuff. More flames. More lightning. More wow! You know what'd totally be cool? You summoning a big dragon or demon or something to just smash everything! I dunno if you'd be great sidekick material though, maybe a friend. Can we be friends? Please?

Cell: 
Cool lasers and stuff. But you're kinda gross. Eww. Please don't touch me.

In conclusion: 3/10 - Come back when you're "perfect", whatever that means.

Aquamarine:
Come back when you've got an appearance on your roster. 

Provisional score, no fire or anything cool. Just a bit of ice I guess: 1/10

Dust:
Wolf guy, huh? That's pretty cool. I prefer cats, but I guess you've got something going. I can't really say much else. I guess you can do some running and jumping stuff... and please put on some clothes. Like a shirt. Or anything...

In conclusion: 3.5/10 - Wolfs are cool but that's all you've got going for you. I'm going to pretend... erm... that the other move you have doesn't exist. Come back when you've got darkness and fire or something. And maybe when you can actually transform into a big (super cool) wolf.

Jak:
You don't really look that cool normally, but you've got some lasers. Dark Jak is pretty epic though. So is that big slam move. Besides that, I don't have a lot else to say. Nothing stands out.

In conclusion: 4.5/10 - Get some fire, more explosions, lighting, and a super epic darkness move or assist. Like raising an army of shadows! And get yourself a better outfit, man. The blue-brown thing is kinda lame.

Marcus:
You look like a person, but you've actually got robot stuff? Isn't that kind of a waste? Embrace your robot powers! Why look like a human when you can look like a big black/silver robot thing with red eyes and stuff? Who needs a heart when you could have a massive laser beam shoot out your chest?!

In conclusion: 5/10 - Kinda like Vision mixed with Dawn, but without any of the wow! Although you probably would make a reasonable sidekick, I'd just have to train you a bit.

Serraph Quarrere:
Suits can actually be surprisingly cool sometimes, and I have to say, you rock yours fairly well. Also, you're the only person so far to get the fabulous bonus points for having a really cool name! I dunno what it is about it specifically, but I kinda like the way it rolls over my tongue. You can also copy my moves, and the whole smart guy thing with the glasses is working out for you. Besides that though, you need some more on your resume (roster).

In conclusion: 6.6/10 - When I first glanced at you, I expected a 2 or 3. You surprised me a bit there. I reckon if you can provide some witty or smart comments you'd make a great sidekick. To be cooler though, you've gotta work for it. Maybe get a move that makes all your allies burst into flames. You heard me right: allies. They don't have to be damaging, but they'd look totally cool! And when people look cool they feel good and morale improves! And it could even scare the enemies you're fighting as well if you wanted to upgrade it further! If you want something more short-term, consider for now just making one ally (within 12ft) set on fire for a while and get a morale boost from how cool it looks. You could even change the fire colour or something per person or as you feel like it!

Cirno:
Your outfit isn't that cool. I don't like the whole blue and white thing. I guess the blue is needed for your ice, but scrap the white. I'm not really a fan of cold things, and most really light colours are boring, but you've got an ice explosion thing which is cool. 

In conclusion: 2/10 - Adorable little ice fairy girl. This is not the type of cool I'm looking for. Ice can still be awesome though. There is still hope! Get yourself a big scythe made out of ice, and a "coldfire" move where you set people on fire but instead of being hot it's super cold. Obviously, it'd look blue or something like that, and maybe it'd slow them down or just do some damage.

Chara:
You can teleport, which is cool. And do a shield thing. Your outfit is boring.

In conclusion: 1/10 - Needs more fire. Get yourself a cool cloak or something like me. You're never too young to start rocking that stuff. Maybe get the power of invisibility to go with it. So you can disappear into the darkness and teleport away! Or teleport into the darkness and sneak about!

Jade:
Green eyes. Potential black outfit. Ding ding ding! Bonus points! Rocking those glasses as well, girl. And you can fly, teleport, go through walls, and read people's minds! And you've got dog ears, awesome! (Cat ears would be better tho) Bang! is awesome, and most of your moveset is as well.

In conclusion: 8.1/10 - Great! You're sorta like a mini-me that went on a power buying shopping spree. Get yourself a scythe, some proper good fire, and a cloak with a hood, then you could be rocking the 10/10 threshold. Sadly, I can't take you as my sidekick. You've already got your own! (The doggo). Let's just be friends instead. 

Ogong:
Elemental fighting martial arts guy. Cool! I'm loving your spells. You could definitely do better for the outfit. And as much as I like red, your hair looks kinda dump.

In conclusion: 6.5/10 - Good points for the elemental spells, but you need to start using some abstract ones. Like the darkness! Maybe even get a cool elemental golem to fight by your side! Lastly, you're really missing out. I know using weeb symbols for spells can be kinda cool, but come on man! You've gotta have a totally sick spell incantation that sounds epic! And maybe even rhymes! Focusing for a few seconds is boooorrrinnng.

Summer:
Rocking that mystery weeb guy look, man. Which is pretty cool. I appreciate puns, so keep making those terrible weather jokes. And the lightning is pretty awesome. Whips aren't that cool though. Get a katana, man. Go full weeb. I'm a fan of your air/wind based stuff, but you can definitely do better.

Sonny:
Whoah! That "ha, get rekt scrub u can't hit me" move is brilliant. Even if people can still kinda hit you. Otherwise, similar to Summer.

In conclusion (combined ranking): 6/10 - A cool mystery guy. But you'd totally make a good sidekick while I "accidentally" draw all the ranged attacks towards us. Get yourself a proper fireball attack. Or a lightning-ball. A super big explosion. You know you want to. Or even get a wind spirit ally to help you out.

Gaston:
I dunno. You're a big manly man with big manly man muscles. I guess a cloak like mine wouldn't suit you. And your moves aren't that cool. All you've really got going for ya is your big manly man body with its big manly man muscles. Or a kangaroo impression, I guess.

In conclusion: 2.5/10 - Get yourself some fire and explosions. Why not make even your punches cause explosions! And make your gun shoot lightning! Also, get a black leather jacket or something like that. Your wardrobe needs improvements. I guess you could be like my minion or something. Maybe carry me places? Yeah. You can be my minion. Maybe one day you'll get cooler.

[MADBULL34]

Four out of five of my last partners got killed in action. Are you a bad enough dude?

Dying is totally uncool. 0/10

---

(real ranking:)
Mad Bull: Your cop uniform is kinda boring. Your baton is literally just a stick. You've got some guns and an explosive I guess which is kinda cool, but not really.

In conclusion: 0.5/10 - Dude, if you wanna be cool, you need to actually try and be cool. Not just kinda shoot people a bit or lob a grenade. I'm talking fire. I'm talking bigger grenades. I'm talking magic and jet packs. I could totally teach you, but you're also kinda old and boring as well. So... nah. You know what you need? A police dog (I would say tiger or panther, but something tells me you'd prefer a dog). A doggo sidekick would totally raise your coolness rating. You just better not get him/her killed though.

(OOC Note: I'm sorry, this is Ebony's sense of coolness. Mad Bull is a cool character.)

[Desman Black]

I'm here for my rerating cause I can now make anything out of the energy of the universe (mimic), and i'm not sure if you accounted for how cool a Desman armour would be.

Also, anything I create using said energy glows. (color depends on the surrounding environment)

[Ash]

Does it hurt or help my ranking that this burn mark is from an ancient Angelic weapon wielded by my twin sister?

Also, I sometimes glow blue now.

[Ebonywood Hellscythe]

Desman: Originality is much cooler than copying. You already have your own elemental moves! You don't need mine. Nor do you need my epic scythe when you've got your own signature blade. Mimic is still cool, but the people you copy from will remain cooler. True coolness comes from your heart... or whatever robo parts you have there. As for using you as armour, that'd totally cramp my style. I'm cool as I am. Maybe if you could shapeshift into a motorbike for me to ride or something like that you'd get more points from it. But you're not fast enough to do that.

New rating: 7.56/10 - You were already pretty cool. Develop more of your own cool things. Not someone else's. A tad cooler, but not really a better sidekick. As I said before, a cool robot without cool robot things.

Ash: Blue isn't the coolest colour, but glowing is awesome. If it was more purple you might get more from it. The whole ancient weapon thing though. That's cool. Sadly though, I tend to look at how awesome someone actually is, rather than the cool things that actually happened to them. Still, it'd make a good story so it does still add to your rating.

New rating: 8.65/10 - Blue isn't the best colour, but you make it work. And, the burn thing totally helps you be a better sidekick. You can tell me all your cool stories to help pass the time!

[Dane Regan]

Hey, Ebony? How cool am I? I once punched my own arm off, and in an alternative universe, we're fighting together (side by side) right now. Also, I've got a shield and I can turn invisible, so I'd make a great sidekick - I could protect you easily while you cast your spells.

[Ebonywood Hellscythe]

Dane Regan:
I guess you've got the whole medieval thing going for ya, and the ninja stuff on the side is kinda cool, but you haven't really done a lot with it. You're pretty smart, I guess, and apparently, you know a bunch of magic stuff - but if you can't use it then it's not really that cool, is it?

In conclusion: 5.1/10 - Bonus points for being smart, but other than that you're pretty average. Get some moves that actually use your powers, and if you listen to me, I'd be willing to take you on as my sidekick. Also, come back later once you've done the god-mind thing with Tearen. Alien powers seem kinda cool.

[Guu]

Submitting Guu and Isabelle for this.

[Ebonywood Hellscythe]

Guu:
At first glance, you're just a pink haired girl... thing. I don't even know. But beyond that, you're basically a living swiss army knife. Is there anything you can't do?

In conclusion: 6.4/10 - You can do a lot of stuff, including shoot lasers, but your standard wardrobe is lacking. You need better clothes to be cool like me. Pink and yellow are usually pretty lame. Also, you need fire and explosions! You could totally be my sidekick if you got a better outfit and fixed that lame attitude - you gotta show at least some expressions, otherwise you'll look boring.

Isabelle:
You're a talking dog that wears bright, light colours. I guess you throw a mean punch, but besides that, you're not very cool. Cats are cooler than dogs.

In conclusion: 0.1/10 - I guess you could help publish my novels if I ever write again with your secretary skills, but you're not exactly cool in any way.

[Aquamarine]

Added Aquamarine's image, so now you can try rating her.

[Ebonywood Hellscythe]

Aquamarine:
Come back when you've got an appearance on your roster. 

Provisional score, no fire or anything cool. Just a bit of ice I guess: 1/10

Added Aquamarine's image, so now you can try rating her.

(sidenote: I'm rating as if you had telekinesis and all of those moves)
(sidenote2: sorry for the delay, I didn't realise you'd posted)

Aquamarine:
First off, cold stuff isn't cool unless you make it awesome. Stuff like "ice fire" and ice spikes are, but the aqua colour scheme is pretty lame. Your personality also makes you highly unsuitable as a sidekick. Even Desman, and The Vision, who are actual robots have more life than your soulless approach. Having friends, or proper sidekicks, is cool - you look out for them, they look out for you. Then you've got a move that literally just makes people cry, kinda like shoving onions in their face. Laaaame.

But, you're not a lost cause (no one is - but you do have some notable cool things). Telekinesis, when you get it sorted, is a pretty cool. Need a weapon? Just chuck things at someone. I guess your ice gun is also cool, although (forgive me if I'm wrong) it's not unique. Being the only one with a move, or the only person able to pull it off well, is awesome - as long as the move isn't useless. Something to note, immobilising an opponent is usually pretty lame. Knocking someone back into a wall is cool, but holding or freezing them in place usually doesn't make for an awesome fight style.

In conclusion: 1.15/10 - Heavily limited by appearance, attire, lack of cool explosions, lack of an awesome melee weapon, and fire. I can't consider you as a sidekick due to your attitude, but if you really worked for it, I can see you pushing that up to 5/10 with a cool signature melee weapon and a unique attack - providing flames (they can be magical ice fire things if you want) or explosions are utilised.

[2B]

Fine I'll jump on this train too!

[Takanomiya Hijiri]

Hijiri would also like to be rated.

... He may not seem all that special now, but just you wait for level 2 when I can unlock his super awesome RABBIT FORM...  :wat:

[Ebonywood Hellscythe]

2B:
A good example of a new prime that still manages to touch the upper areas of coolness. At first glance from an amateur, she might seem pretty meh. I mean, she's just got a couple of swords and a bot that goes pew pew with either bullets or lasers. So what makes it cool? The fact it all feels very personal to the character (possibly given an advantage due to the readily available artwork). The swords are named, each with a purpose rather than just a reskin with a different length. Sure there's overlap, but due to being well-rounded (stat-wise) 2B can utilise each. Or maybe she just gets bonus points because I'm a weeb. Anyway, the cool move names and more than one sword are all awesome.

As for the drone, having it use guns as opposed to holding them yourself gives an "I'm not dirtying my hands with these" kinda image - which gives you cool points. Mostly because I'm not usually a fan of guns. And a portable death laser is cool - make the charged laser a supermove or something and you're golden. Burst movement and basic super jumping would also help with the master acrobat "up in your face" sword fighting style.

The whole outfit is basically just the typical waifu thing for "girl with a sword" with some modifications. Doesn't get you full points, but the colour scheme is good. I don't know enough about 2B (and you have no personality/backstory stuff on your roster) to make further relevant comments.

In conclusion: 7.16/10 - Get a mega-laser super move (or something sword related if you'd prefer). Explosions are cool, so maybe a self-destruct for Pod 42. Furthermore, someone with a strong weapon (and skilled with it) could probably just whack you about a bunch. Perhaps a cool energy shield or shield made of swords would be a useful move. Or maybe get Survival. Lastly, I wanna see some fire. Fire's cool. Overall, you'd make a cool sidekick.

Takanomiya Hijiri:
Honestly, from what I gather, you're basically a pretty boy tsundere. Which, amusingly, your moveset fits. At least the pretty boy part. Gliding across the battlefield does have a sense of aesthetic about it (Stepping Stones), but quick acceleration trumps it. Turning into one big hit looks a lot cooler than multiple weak sword strikes or simply skirmishing with a melee weapon. I might be wrong about your fighting style, but from your moves, that's my general assumption. As in, Hijiri fights at his own constant place, appearing to glide into battle - running through the air (when there's debris or leaves or something). As opposed to a more offensive method of dashing in, smashing your foe, then dashing out.

Appearance wise, I guess his suit is OK. At least, it's a reasonable dark colour.

In conclusion: 4.53/10 - Fair. But you severely lack in the wow factor. A charged flaming katana strike would be cool, or a big explosion. As you're fairly well-rounded stat-wise, you don't stand out much. Although you're geared more towards skill and speed, so get something linked to those. Teleportation is cool, maybe gun for that. And foresight will definitely capitalise on your build. I guess you'd make a fair sidekick once you concede that Cats > Rabbits. I'd probably have to train you in my awesome ways first though.

(As usual, if you disagree with anything I've said - or maybe I said something objectively wrong, post here or PM me and I'll correct it where I can. Remember, this is Ebony's sense of coolness. If anyone wants a regrading because they got a new move, just ask.)
