Character history: John's dad from immediately following his death at Noir's hands. I added the name myself because the original character doesn't have a name.

Physical Description:

ATK: 4
DEF: 3
SPD: 1
TEC: 2

Starting Proficiencies: Physical Strength

Starting Powers: Super Jumping (Basic)

Starting Moves:

Wallet - 0 OM
Dad's trusty wallet, purchased long ago at the Dadly Depot, is a powerful tool in the hands of a prime. Operating as a so-called "Fetch Modus" for Dad's "Sylladex", the wallet is able to store objects in an immaterial space, to be retrieved at a moment's notice. Passage into the Omniverse has not been kind to it, however, and its ability to store and retrieve items has been sharply limited, with the exception of a few key items with which Dad is intensely familiar.

Wallet Grab - 300 OM
By focusing for half a second, Dad can grab one solid physical object he is touching into his wallet. This object can be no heavier than can be lifted with both hands, and cannot be a prime or secondary or anything held by a prime or secondary. Only one object grabbed by this move can be held within the wallet at a time, and artifacts cannot be grabbed. Ranged attacks with a physical component can be grabbed by this move, but given the windup time and Dad's limited combat skill, they'd usually have to be very straightforward and predictable moves.

Wallet Release - 300 OM
By focusing for half a second, Dad can retrieve the item grabbed by Wallet Grab back into reality, placing it on the ground anywhere within about two meters of his body.

Shaving Cream (Requires Physical Strength) - 300 OM
Dad's wallet contains a near-unlimited supply of high quality aerosol-propelled shaving cream. By focusing for .3 seconds, he can retrieve a single bottle of this substance and spray a continuous spray for up to 10 seconds per bottle, enough to mostly cover a person in the stuff. Getting the shaving cream in your eyes stings and can temporarily blind you until you get it out, the shaving cream is also extremely flammable.

Ignite - 300 OM
Dad's wallet contains a lighter. He can use it to set things on fire, notably including the shaving cream. Part of me wonders whether this really constitutes its own move, but I'm pretty sure it does. I guess it's a really strong lighter?

I confirm that I have read and agreed to the Rules of Conduct. Yes.

Where did you find us? Referred by user Little Ghost.

Welcome!

For the Wallet, I'd say you'd be fine to have Wallet Grab and Release as a single 300 OM move. As for Ignite, you would need that at least as a separate function of Shaving Cream at the extra 300 OM cost. Otherwise just carrying a lighter wouldn't cost anything extra provided that's all it does. You could pay more later if you wanted to give it more intricate functions.

For Shaving Cream, what are the downsides here? Does he incur a stamina cost when summoning the bottles? What's the range at maximum? If you want to inflict temporary blindness you'll need Debuff Proficiency.

[Dad]

Oh yeah, debuff proficiency. Hm, that's maybe too big a step to take for easily wipable shaving cream. I think I'll start with some of my other ideas instead while I think over whether I want to do that (though it'd also be useful should I ever want to start throwing custards at people). How about this movelist instead?

Wallet - 0 OM
Dad's trusty wallet, purchased long ago at the Dadly Depot, is a powerful tool in the hands of a prime.

Passage into the Omniverse has not been kind to it, however, and its ability to store and retrieve items has been sharply limited, with the exception of a few key items with which Dad is intensely personally familiar.

Wallet Grab - 300 OM

Broom - 300 OM
A reliable, old-fashioned utility for sweeping floors free of dust and enemies alike, Dad's broom is a 70 cm wooden handle attached to a bundle of 30 cm thistles. When not in use, Dad usually stores it in his wallet, from which he can retrieve it with half a second of concentration (and where he can stow it in a similar fashion). It is quick and light, but its softness and lack of edges means that it hurts surprisingly little for being wielded with such strength (it still packs a wallop though, and can easily send lighter foes flying).

Large Cake - 300 OM
Dad possesses an aptitude for baking, and wields his creations into battle. This move does not represent any particular large cake, but rather proficiency with any appropriately sized one, approx. 20 cm tall with a 40 cm radius. The sheer size of these confectioneries makes them excellent for defense and controlling adjacent space. They are less useful offensively due to their sheer unwieldiness, not to mention that their size and weight mean even a single full power swing can tire the wielder out (though such a hit could bludgeon an enemy something fierce). Dad can store a maximum of one such cake in his wallet at a time, retrieving and storing it there with a half second's concentration.

[Dad]

Oh yeah, and both the broom and cake would require Physical Strength but I have that already so whatever.

[Omni]

So the cake, how much damage can it block? Or like, are you okay with it just getting creamed (literally) by bullets, laser beams or any attack of significance?

I'll get everything else going so you don't have to wait any further. Here's your roster, please paste the sheet to a new topic entitled 'Dad' in the rosters forum. Oh! and please read this for all your tutorial messages. If you ignore them, you may be attacked by the IC-logic-mods.
