Main Character Template and Information

This is the main template for creating techniques for your character. Techniques are very difficult to check and approve due to the varying descriptions and the endless possibilities when it comes to the effects of the techniques themselves. Be sure to read the following sections carefully and remember that techniques should be carefully thought about.

First of all, techniques are something that affect the turnout of the battle for many people. Keep in mind that there are different types of techniques like Evade techniques, Counter techniques, and Special techniques. There are also different status conditions that can affect the conditions of the battle. Technically, your character doesn't even need techniques to be good or allowed to battle but many prefer to stick with them anyway.

This is where you will make your custom techniques and abilities. When making your techniques, refer to the template below and follow it, giving good detail and originality. Copy the template once for each technique. The templates should be self-explanatory, but if you have questions, PM myself or a moderator. Refer to the Slot limits [Link] to see the maximum amount of techniques you can make with your Warrior Rank.


Attack Power Limitations:

Yellow, Red, Blue, Wanderer, Suzaku Grunt--Max. 75 Attack Power
Elite, Trainer, Master, Suzaku Elite, Hunter, Indep.--Max. 290 Atk

Keep in mind the following terms

Title
-The title of this topic. If the techniques within the topic are specific to something such as a scroll, book, etc. then title it so that this is known.
>>Example: Book of Prophecy Techniques<<

If they are just plain character techniques, then just label it as such and remember to number the technique list. Whenever you decide to add techniques for your character, MAKE A NEW TOPIC. Do not edit them in an old topic or make a new post within an existing topic or they will not be approved.

Name
-The name of your technique varies in importance based on your character. Overall, the name of each technique is just for identification. Some characters choose to yell their techniques' names out when they use them in battle while some simply use them as they choose. A name gives the technique some identity.

Range
-The range of the technique is actually more important than many people think. The range of a technique allows the mods to know how far your technique will travel. Some characters may have techniques that depend on the knowledge of the distance. You can choose from Close range, Mid-Range, Far range, or No Range; which is used for supplementary techniques that affect one's self and doesn't extend beyond the actual body of the person using it. A Close range technique is about 5 Meters. A Mid-Ranged technique is about 10 Meters. A Far ranged technique is about 20 meters or more. More tsukara and a higher skill level is required for farther technique distances.

Dice Usage
-Dice Usage refers to what Dice the specific technique will be using in the battle in order to be activated. Each dice has a different rate of succession, which is based on the amount of high value rolls. The choices for this section are:
[Attack/Defense/Evade/Counterattack/Special/Escape]

Attack Power
-The Attack Power of a technique is the determining factor of how much damage your technique will do to your target. When a technique has more power, they generally tend to require more Tsukara. Each ranking of warrior has its own limits so keep this in mind.

Tsukara Value
- The Tsukara Value of a technique refers to the amount of overall tsukara required to use the technique. Whenever a technique is used, the technique's Tsukara value is depleted from the warrior's overall tsukara bar. It is important to keep Tsukara high in order to use some of your best techniques when needed, but it is also good to know that balancing yourself and using only certain techniques in certain situations are the key to victory. The tsukara value of a technique is proportional to the ranking of the character, the determined level of the technique, the attack power of the techniques, and its effects.

Warrior Affinity
- This is really simple. The only thing that is required here is the warrior class or classes that this technique can be used by. If your technique requires swords, then swordsman will use this. The only Warrior Affinity that you may have here are Warrior Classes that the character actually has.

Elemental Affinity
- The elemental affinity refers to what element or elements the technique has. There is no limit to the amount of elements that a technique can have, but all increases anid decreases due to element apply, so if a technique is both water and fire and goes against a technique that is lightning and water, all increases and decreases are nullified. Keep this in mind when thinking about what element to make a technique. Techniques can only have elements that your character actually knows.

Benefit
- This can be ignored a majority of the time because this only applies to techniques that use a Special Dice. The options for this section are Offensive, Defensive, and Supplementary. A Special technique with Offensive benefits inflict additional damage to a target when the main effect of the technique is resolved. As it is implied, these techniques are purely offensive. For instance, a technique could have the following effect:
::This technique can only be chained by an Evade technique or Special technique with defensive benefits. When this technique successfully inflicts damage to its target, inflict an additional 25 damage to every participant of the battle for each dice that they used so far in the battle.::
As you can see, it does damage and then inflicts an additional amount as the Special effect. This may not always be the case though. Offensive techniques may simply have an Attack Power and have a different effect. This brings us to Defensive benefits, which as one can expect, has defensive properties instead of offensive properties. This can be anything from a shield with a status effect, to a long lasting barrier that can only be broken with certain elements. Finally, Supplementary techniques are very common for the self-influence of one's character. Many people use Supplementary Special techniques in order to heal, while others use them to enhance their dice or their techniques' Attack Power. Experiment with them and figure out what works best for your character in different situations. Keep in mind that a Special technique can have multiple benefits that have different ways of activating. A technique doesn't need to be so straightforward!

Description
-Finally, we've come to the most important part of the template: The Description. The description of the technique determines what the technique will do. A description needs to be detailed and give sufficient information in order to be deemed worthy be the moderators for your character. Consider your character and what ranking you think your technique is. A powerful technique that could kill hundreds doesn't belong in the arsenal of a Yellow rankied warrior. Make sure that the description is well...descriptive. The line requirement is short, but that's not an invitation to make techniques that have no effort. 2 lines are very simple to do once you describe what the technique looks like and what it does in the actual battle. With that being said, don't try to just meet the criteria and hope that you will still be approved. The mods can deny a technique if it isn't detailed enough even if it fits all of the line criteria.
