Lui Kang: "Is that a threat, hunter?"

You: "Just a friendly heads up."

Liu Kang: "What are those blades made of?"

You: "My dual blades? These are made from the parts of Rathalos and Rathian I've hunted."

Liu Kang: "They are pulsing with both flame and poison..."

Liu Kang: "My dragon fire does not effect you nearly as much as others."

Okay, so I know there are plenty of 'tf2 mercs as [insert animal]' but I would also like to do this, so I, because I'm a sort-of nerd, I would like to do it as a crossover. I present:

What Star Wars creature would each Merc be?

Scout - Twi'lek/Clawdite Hybrid

He will tell you that he is a full Twi'lek, like his older brothers. His lekku are definitely as long as his full-blooded Twi'lek family, and his skin doesn't completely change its colour depending on his emotions. His dad was Twi'lek and couldn't have been anything else. (everyone believed that.)

Soldier - Besalisk

(Four-armed sentient, think Dexter Jettster or Pong Krell. Actually, don't think Pong Krell. Fuck Pong Krell.)He's thrill-seeking and has very little fear of death. Will leak secret intelligence if just lightly asked. Will engage in violent mating rituals, but then will stick with them for life. Also, think of how much more bread he could teleport with 4 arms. He could hold a shovel and a rocket launcher at the same time!

Pyro - Tusken Raider

How did a Sand Person get off Tatooine? Where is their tribe? What are they doing as a mercenary? What is under their mask? All good question, with zero answers. Pyro just is. Why does the Tusken Raider have a large flamethrower? Unclear! Can we take said flamethrower off them? Not while keeping all your limbs intact!

Demo - Togruta

I... I don't know why. He just seems like a Togruta kind of fellow. He needs lekku of some kind, and Togrutas also get to be carnivorous. I can see Demo being carnivorous. Maybe he's even missing one of his lek/montrals. Or, he makes up for his missing eye with the echolocation that his montrals bring

Heavy - Wookiee

Big, strong, loyal but known to rip off arms when provoked. Follow a warrior's code of honour. When angered (say, if you murder their Medic in cold blood) will fly into a berserker rage. Great for cuddling. Is there much else to say? Heavy is a Wookiee to a T.

Engineer - Lannik

(think a dwarf with ears bigger than an elf. Or, if you know him, Even Piell) Strong-willed, smart and great at battle strategy. Also, Lanniks are good with technology! Plus, Engineer is SHORT

Medic - Zabrak

(same species as Darth Maul and Savage Opress, though I don't believe he'd be Dathomiri. More likely from a Core World) Self-assured to the point of arrogance, striving to be the best, even to the point of playing god. A terrifying man, but you'd be glad to have him on your side.

Sniper - Kiffar

(Same thing that Quinlan Vos is) Idk but I really vibe with this. I mean, Sniper's a hunter, so it would make sense that he's good at tracking. And also, Sniper with traditional Clan tattoos??? Yes???

Spy - Clawdite

(a shapeshifting sentient species. Like that one bounty hunter from Attack of the Clones. I apologise for ) I mean. A species that can change their appearance at will? Come on. Who else could it be?

Idk I really just went with the vibes. I'm sure if I dug deeper into the pits of Wookieepedia I could have found some more obscure or better-fitting species, but I also don't want to make them just random things for the sake of being a nerd and forcing people to look just as deep as I did to make any sense of what I'm saying. I just thought this was neat. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

CW: DEATH BATTLE SPOILERS, FIRE EMBLEM THREE HOUSES SPOILERS AND SEMI-SPOILERS FOR BERSERK.

For people who don’t know me, I’m a loser who absolutely loves Three Houses and Berserk. I'm going to take time to talk about Dimitri VS Guts, because holy fucking shit I love this Death Battle so goddamn much. I was going to make a prediction blog for this fight but didn’t really see the point as Dimitri stomps being brutally honest.

I want to talk about Guts VS Nightmare first before talking about Guts VS Dimitri, as this is the only time I'm probably ever going to mention it: I genuinely dislike the episode.

When it originally came out, how they portrayed Guts wasn’t right at all; the thing I find

genuinely annoying is how is how after that Death Battle was released, people formed this thought that Guts was this Doom Guy/Doom Slayer-type character who slaughters demons for nothing more than sheer hate, which is true… at least at first. But then later on, Guts became-

much more than that due to his hate making him do nothing more than just become a hollow shell who fights only for his selfish desires to fight Griffith and protect Casca, even letting people into his life again and becoming friends with other people.

The story of Berserk went from being about an angry nihilist who fights just to fight, into a story about broken people helping each other in any way they can. So what did Death Battle do for Guts VS Nightmare? Make him just his angry, nihilistic self and not mention how he has changed.

There was also some research-related stuff that had issues, but to be blunt I don’t personally care about if either Guts or Nightmare should have won. If you want the truth of how I feel, Nightmare is so much stronger that the argument of “Guts beats people stronger than him everyday” isn’t really a good argument - not when unlike everyone Guts has ever fought, he's thousands of times stronger than the strongest person Guts defeated.

But that’s the main reasoning on why I don’t personally like Guts VS Nightmare - despite thinking it was okay animation-wise.

Now let's talk Dimitri VS Guts… well kind of.

I wanted to talk about my attraction towards this matchup; as mentioned before, I love both Fire Emblem and Berserk.

Starting with Dimitri: I got into Fire Emblem around the time the GBA games came out, and while I did fall off the games, I got back into them when Awakening was released.

With Berserk, I got into the manga around middle school after I was talking to a friend that I absolutely loved Hellsing and Black Lagoon. To be blunt I didn’t like Berserk at first because I disliked Guts until the time he changed, and to me changed for the absolute best. (I still wouldn't recommend Berserk tho cause....yeah)

Dimitri himself is a character that I absolutely fell in love with, from his story of mental health problems to his desire to change after the events of the timeskip as the redemption arc of sorts

happens. I’ve been wanting to do a "Who’s My Personal Favorite Characters of All Time" list, but I haven’t found any personal time to do so.

Now onto the actual episode with the analysis of Guts- this time, the episode did Guts legitimate justice as a character, as he is treated to much more than his past. With Dimitri, it also did pretty well as there’s not really anything I personally disagree with.

I know there were some people who took issue with the analysis, starting with the fact Dimitri was stated to have magic; however, they also were factoring in Three Hopes, which in that game he was able to use magic. To briefly touch on the animation, I can understand the issue of Dimitri stomping should have ended the fight with the lightning attack shutting down Guts’ armor, though I dislike that possible ending and you'll see why when I get to the actual ending.

Next, let's talk about those who disagree with the Rhea thing- you need to realize something with Death Battle as it's clear you guys don’t do VS Debating stuff: scaling is important, and Dimitri should get the scaling considering Edelgard and Byleth did kill Rhea in Edelgard's route.

There's also the fact that Dimitri kills Edelgard in his route, and also fights a powered-up version of her anyways. Scaling matters in these match-ups.

But onto the animation itself: I absolutely loved it - the back and forth with them becoming more bloodied and hurt, but neither caring due to how they fight. I especially loved the "voices in their heads" scene before Dimitri and Guts power up again. Plus, holy fuck the music is so good,

Brandon Yates did an amazing job with God's Hand.

Now the ending: if the voices scene didn't happen, this would be my favorite part. Dimitri thinks Guts is dead, then all of a sudden he gets up and breaks his lance, but ends up dying because he fought until every drop of his blood was gone. I also love the touch that the Berserker Armor is the reason why he is still standing despite dying. Dimitri realizes Guts fights for those who lost their lives too, and then decides to fight for Guts. Holy fucking shit man, this may be one of my favorite Death Battles of all time.

Closing thoughts, I absolutely loved this episode of DB and the team did an amazing job with it.

I still can’t seem to get a design for my version of Grizzly, however I have written a little short something about her, so here’s her collective info, plus that writing I did:

Name: Maxima Markham, Maxi for short.

Classification: Werebear/Berserker. It's a long standing family thing, being able to turn into a bear at will, carrying around a bear skin/fur coat that is essentially their own. It's a thing that's been passed down from.generation to generation.

Height: 6'9" Nordic woman.

[everything under the cut is VERY long, forgive me]

Concept:

Shows up to NY one day when there's a large charity event regarding wildlife in the world and trying to help support the causes of preserving and trying to help maintain/regrow the population of animals that are endangered. One of which being Polar Bears.

So.. she shows up for that event. Very keen on helping her kin to stay alive and well. But she seems to find a distaste for a lot of the higher social class people and their donations to the cause being just so they get a good public image and all. She's there as a passionate speaker about the bears and gains Intel on the names of the people she's picked out as not good.

After the event, she takes her time tracking down these people and essentially hunts them for sport in the city. There's sudden reports of bear attacks and sightings which is unusual for NYC. There's not supposed to be any bears in the city outside of the zoo?

Acedia investigates the zoo first for questions, but all the animals are there and accounted for. No breakouts at all. Getting Otto's thoughts about this odd string of sightings and attacks a conclusion is made that whatever or whoever this bear is.. they're attacking the rich and elite that were at the charity event from before.

That leads to eventually tracking down this "Grizzly" woman and putting a stop to her somehow.

=======

Acedia closing in on the destination walks through destruction. A destroyed and torn up building in the dead of night. It's empty, it's dark, it's quiet.. the faint sound of something on a floor above echoing, the harsh actions up there reverberating down through the floors.

Glass and leaves and papers scattered about the carpeted floor. Making her way toward the next set of stairs upward to progress. Otto, on the other end of her ear pieces kept her company all the while. His voice was welcoming, grounding as she tried to keep from getting paranoid.

As she reached the next floor, she picked up on a scent. Instinctively covering her nose and freezing in place. She scanned the area from where she stood, observing the sight of a ruined office building. The floor was nicer than the other levels, with fewer cubicles and desks, even despite the overturned furniture and smashed pottery and glass.

"Otto.." her voice was small, cracked, afraid. She saw something.. something splattered across some papers and desks.. and what remained of a window.

Otto's voice came back through, concern in his tone, "Acedia? What is it? Are you alright?"

"There's.. There's blood.. I.. I don't want to experience that again.. O-Otto..."

Her voice trembled, and Otto felt his heart fall. The sounds of rustling and mechanical clicking were all she could hear over the earpiece, stepping back into the stairwell she came from. Her hand blindly found the rail behind her, gripping it tight, the metal creaking in her grasp as Otto's words came one final time.

"Stay right there! I am on my way. Please stay safe, head outside if you can. Do whatever you can to stay hidden. I don't know what kind of creature we are dealing with here, but the last thing I want is for you to get maimed or worse. I will be there shortly, just hold on, okay?"

"Okay--"

Her voice cut short as the final thing Otto heard was a shrill cry from Acedia's end. Whatever it was.. He couldn't bear the thought and bounded out of the lab. The actuators moving as fast as they could. He had no time to waste. He needed to get to her. He needed to save her.

Cliff and Will

Relevant Posts: Will, Faustus, Mira, Cliff

Master Post

- - - - -

- - Who is Cliff? - -

To put it plainly, Cliff is an Iron Devil. He is the direct cousin of Faustus and good friends with Aoife Crawford. He leads a simple life as an auto mechanic in Hell, having never been summoned before by a Necromancer. He was quite interested when he heard that his coz had partnered up with an aspiring mage. It was strange as Faustus was a bit of a hot head given his affinity. Regardless, Cliff was happy for him and kept his ears open as to what Faustus was doing with the mage in question. This Will fella seemed like a cool kid and he definitely wanted to meet him at some point...

Then Cliff found out about the incident surrounding Will and Faustus.

Cliff gave Faustus a scolding and a stern talking to. Yeah, he knew his cousin was a fire devil... but that was no excuse for going berserk like that. Normally there would be discussion about how fully possessing Will was a necessary evil and whatnot... but that is not what happened. Cliff lectured Faustus about how they should have been training in how to successfully merge with each other. Faustus was beside himself in confusion while his wife, Mira, had a guilty chuckle in the background. Cliff swore he would be a part of Will and Faustus' mage activities in the future when the two were allowed to reunite.

To not go too far in depth here, Cliff is pretty easy-going personality-wise. He is one of those types that know how to deal with people, keep a level head when faced with adversity, and know how to lighten the mood. He's handy, resourceful, and a good problem solver. Also do not ever expect him to back down... he is an Iron Devil. And lastly, do not rearrange his stuff. He has everything where it needs to be.

- - In regards to merging and possession - -

When a Necromancer works with a devil, they channel the powers of that devil to perform magic. This leads to what could be considered possession by the devil. Ideally this state should be mutual, widely regarded as a merge. Merges are peaceful and lead to the mage being able to control their power and exercise skillful techniques. As stated previously, a mage properly bonded with a devil can fully merge and take on the traits of that devil. The form that results varies from mage to mage. In Will's case, he becomes a liquid metal version of himself when merged with Cliff.

Compatible personalities are also required for a proper merge. Will and Faustus have similar personalities. Mira compliments Faustus' personality, allowing her to also compliment Will's personality. Cliff's flexible personality allows him to merge with a lot of mages. Like personalities typically produce more dynamic forms while complimentary produce more skillful forms.

A possession occurs when the merge is chaotic, disruptive, or unharmonious. A possession will result in a form with a rogue personality. This will result in the mage going berserk and attacking things indiscriminately. Causes of such merge can be high risk situations, immediate danger, a mage being incompatible with the devil they summoned, emotional turmoil, severe disagreements, extreme arrogance, etc. Possessions require immediate attention as they can quickly get out of hand.

- - - - -

This did amazing on DA for some reason. Either way, this was a massive experiment with perspective and dynamic poses. I wanted this to look like official artwork, like what you get from an anime or a cartoon.

Using a rust color for the hair was fun. Coming up with a dynamic poses was a blast... why don't I try this more often?

Fate Fanservant: Bruce Cipher (Caster), the Summer Zirkusdirektor

A lot of this is going to be me spitballing, so don't expect full paragraphs. At best, you'll get a handful of coherent ideas at a time.

Ascension Stages

All of them are male-presenting, but still drawn as "anime twinks."

Stage 1:

Obligatory swimsuit stage (Will I even include this in the end? Maybe he’ll be a welfare with the Stage 2 design.)

Just swim trunks, with visible top surgery scars (This is the only thing keeping me from going with the welfare idea.)

He knows he can technically look like whatever he wants, but he decided to add the scars anyway as a mark of pride.

Stage 2:

Now we're getting into the good stuff.

Lolita-style ringmaster outfit, directly ripped off from Koyanskaya of Darkness's second ascension

(Picrew source, this isn’t the final design)

Traits

Class: Caster

Alternate Classes: Avenger, Berserker, Foreigner

Region: North America

Alignment: Chaotic Summer

Deck: QAAAB

Parameters

Strength: E

Endurance: <to be decided>

Agility: <to be decided>

Mana: A++

Luck: B+++

Noble Phantasm: A+

Passive Skills

Right-Hand Clown (Rankless)

Apply immunity to Charm.

Increase range of Active Skills and Noble Phantasm to include all [Mephistopheles] allies.

Lowers own Attack against all [Mephistopheles] allies.

Existence Outside the Domain D

The boost from the Foreigner class has been removed.

Gain 2 critical stars every turn.

Increase your debuff resistance by 4%.

Territory Creation B+

Bruce's "territory" consists of a small circus tent and its props. As expected of Territory Creation, however, it does not account for the circus crew. Therefore, Bruce has taken to forming a "troupe" out of whoever he deems fit.

Increase your own Arts Card effectiveness by 9%.

Item Construction D+

Bruce's new ringmaster cane takes up most of the energy for this skill, but he can briefly create prank items and toy weapons that can be used only once.

Increase your own Debuff Success Rate by 5%.

Active Skills

Mystic Eyes of Story Perception A

Changing from Foreigner to Caster decreased this skill's ranking slightly.

Chance to inflict Skill Seal upon one Servant opponent

Chance to decrease NP Strength for one Servant opponent

Summer Euphoria EX

A combat-optimized manifestation of rejoice from the different body type granted by this Spirit Origin. This change, while Bruce accepts that it is temporary, causes his confidence to skyrocket. However, his enthusiasm creates an unintentional "firewall" against bodies similar to his usual one.

Grants self Invincibility that grants a chance to ignore each attack for turns (similar to "The Beauty of Trouble With Women"), but only against Female and Feminine-Looking enemies

Lock Command Cards for three turns, but only if a Brave Chain from Bruce Cipher (Caster) is possible.

Let Your Freak Flag Fly! (rank to be decided)

Apply Special Attack against Human enemies for all [Monstrous] allies. (Heroic Spirits like Babbage, Xiang Yu, etc.)

Apply Flat Damage Reduction against Human enemies for all [Monstrous] allies.

If applicable, remove Non-Hominidae trait from any [Monstrous] allies.

Noble Phantasm Ideas

"Grand finale" that increases or even flat-out doubles drops from battle

The entire "troupe" comes together, increasing the number of Heroic Spirits on your side of the battlefield by however many [Monstrous] sub-members you have.

Support Arts NP with high chance to inflict "Hysterics" debuff to all enemies (increases length of enemy's Charge bar by 1)

Lean into the anti-Human niche?

Voice Line Ideas

Battle Start: It's time for a night that you will never forget.

Skill: Hoo hoo! The curtain shall fall on your miserable little time here.

Bond Level 1 (Unlocks through increasing Bond Levels): Ehe. Ehehehehe! Have you lost your nerve, "Master?" …What's the matter, not a fan of callbacks?

Conversation 2 (Requires Mephistopheles [Caster] or Mephistopheles [Assassin]): "Ah, mein traunes... my verntrauenswürtiger... my, uh... mein teufel! Mein trusty teufel! It's good to see you! S-sorry... I definitely got the word wrong, didn't I?"

Conversation 3 (Requires Mephistopheles [Pretender], Stage 1-2): <to be decided>

Conversation 4 (Requires Mephistopheles [Pretender], Stage 3): Ah, my precious teufel. What's with the outfit? Verrry fancy! Don't tell me you picked that out to impress me, did you? Aheeheehee!

Conversation 5 (Requires Abigail Williams [Summer]): <to be decided>

Conversation 6 (Requires a [Monstrous] Servant, with some exceptions): <to be decided>

Conversation 7 (Requires Mysterious Heroine X, Mysterious Heroine XX, Okita Souji, Okita J. Souji, Hijikata, Saito Hajime, or Yamanami Keisuke): What are you, a cop? Piss off.

Conversation 12 (Requires the Snow Queen): Mm? Have I always had the capacity to be this... brutal? Do I... Do I even have the strength?

During an Event (???): Hoo-whee! Events sure are busy things! Hm? Master, what are you doing here!? There're places to go! People to see! Let's get this trainwreck a-rollin', ahaha!

Michael After Midnight: Gordy’s Home

[Here’s the beginning of my journey (backstory here). The first Michael blog I accessed hails from what I have designated Earth-2211979, and it seems like this is the world where Jordan Peele’s film Nope takes place. This Michael seems to review a lot of old TV shows for his blog, especially weird, obscure, and even lost media. This right here is the last review on his blog, and it seems like he’s been inactive for several months.]

The 90s was an utter wasteland of either incredibly insipid or outright insane sitcoms, but tonight’s review is about one that landed somewhere in the middle. Gordy’s Home is exactly the sort of bonkers concept you’d see coming out of the chimp-obsessed 90s scene while at the same time being incredibly predictable. But, of course, you know that I didn’t decide to review this because of that. You know what the elephant in the room is.

Or maybe you don’t! So let’s set that shit aside and talk about the actual show before we get into the dark underbelly of this seemingly saccharine slice of 90s nostalgia.

The cast is a very mixed bag. Ricky “Jupe” Parkin definitely the weak link here. Look, we all loved him in Kid Sherrif, but we were like toddlers. He’s just not a good child actor, he just got a stroke of luck. At least his fist bumps with Gordy are pretty fun, but watching a kid do a fist bump with a chimp is hard to fuck up. The other human actors are all giving corny performances, but they seem a bit more self-aware and tongue in cheek, so it’s easier to stomach them. The MVP of the humans is definitely Mary Jo Elliot, who clearly is trying her best with this silly material. It’s such a damn shame we never got to see her go further in her career, especially when she managed to make a “drugs are bad” PSA episode palatable.

Then we have Gordy. Oh, sweet Gordy. Is it even okay to say he was the best part of the show? Because it’s undeniable, he was. But it feels so fucking dirty saying that, all things considered, and keep in mind—this show had an episode guest starring Bill Cosby! How the Hell did THAT age less poorly than the chimp? I look at it like this: He was an animal. I can’t really hold the poor chimp to human standards, can I?

…God, I guess I can’t really beat around the bush. Can’t I talk about the cringey tween romance episodes? The corny episode where Gordy keeps messing up the family vacation? The weird way this show seems to think adopting a chimp and an Asian is something you should think is wacky and whimsical (boy am I glad we left weird racist undertones in the 90s, never to be seen again)?

No. I’ve gotta talk about the incident.

This show is remarkably hard to watch. Like, the only version of the opening theme on YouTube is a poorly recorded VHS rip, and there are at least three episodes that have yet to be found despite lost media aficionados doing their damndest to hunt them down. And the reason for this is because of a tragic incident that happened on set in 1998, where Gordy went berserk and maimed or murdered his costars save for Park.

I remember seeing it on the news when I was a kid and just not understanding it. I remember seeing the magazine covers, the parodies, that fucking godawful SNL sketch… No, seriously, was SNL ever fucking funny? I rewatched that sketch for this review and it is the most tasteless, unfunny shit I’ve ever seen. Gilbert Gottfried’s 9/11 jokes right after the attack were funnier. Who okayed that? Who okayed any of that shit after the incident? A kid had her face ripped off, for Christ’s sake!

There were so many weird rumors and urban legends about the incident. I remember seeing one a lot, that there was some insane fan who’d wandered on set with a gun and that’s what set Gordy off, but that sounds really outlandish and ridiculous. There’s also a rumor that there’s footage of the incident floating around online, and you can see just where Gordy bites Elliot’s face off. I’d honestly rather watch that video where the dude with the ice pick eats that other guy again than see that, so if it does exist I hope it stays lost. Some things aren’t meant to be seen, and this is one of them.

Really, it’s a shame that THIS is what the show is remembered for: An awful, totally avoidable tragedy that has hung a dark cloud over everything. We never got a really clear answer over what happened on that set, but I’m guessing this is the same shit that happens every time an animal mauls someone. They ignored warnings, didn’t treat Gordy with respect, and honestly? Wouldn’t surprise me if they abused him too. Apparently Park has some theme park out in the place I’m going hiking with my buddies soon, maybe I could just drop in and ask him what the truth is. Bet he’d just love to talk about that.

Gordy’s Home is an unremarkable, corny, harmless 90s show forever tainted by a senseless tragedy. Like, I spent more time talking about the chimp attack than the actual show here, that’s how much Gordy’s rampage looms over it. Really, I think what sums it all up for me is how the show uses Gowan’s “(You’re a) Strange Animal” as its theme song, seemingly to imply fun and monkey business… but conveniently leaves out verses like this, ones that tragically foreshadow the ineptitude that led to the carnage on set:

Well, they say I should approach you with caution But not to let you be aware of my fear Never know what you'll find Don't understand your kind round here

They still used the song better than Crowder did, at least.

3rd Day "long day, long night"/4th day "partner" (scene 1)

I―――can't abandon someone who needs help. Emiya Shirou has chosen to live like that. And most importantly… I can't leave the girl who fought to protect me.

"All right, Berserker. She will regenerate, so violate her after you chop her head off." Berserker resumes his action. I―――

"Y-Youuuuuuuuuu…!!" I run with all my strength. There's no way I can do anything against that monster. So the least I can do is to push Saber away and save her from Berserker's attack――――

"――Huh?" I fall. Why…? I was going to push Saber away, get Saber away from Berserker, and think about what to do after that, so why…?

"Ga――ha…." Why? Why am I on the ground, unable to breathe?

"…!?" …I hear shocked voices. First is from Saber, who is right in front of me. And Tohsaka is astonished at a distance. And for some reason, Ilya, who is looking down at me dumbfounded, is also surprised.

"…Hu… h?" I'm missing my stomach. I'm on the ground. On the asphalt are a small amount of blood compared to the wound, soft-looking organs, bones, and many things like that.

"…I see. How stupid of me." In short, I didn't make it in time. Yes―――it was impossible to push Saber out of the way, so I just shielded her. And my stomach was blown out by that sword.

"―――Guh." Geez, I'm ashamed of myself for failing even in a situation like this. I've been working hard to become a superhero, but I keep making mistakes when it really counts.

"―――Why?" The silver-haired girl asks in a daze.

After standing there dumbfolded for a while, "…That's enough. This is boring." Without finishing off Saber, she calls Berserker back.

"―――Rin, I'll kill you if I see you again." The girl leaves. After watching her leave, my vision cuts out.

My consciousness fades away. I really can't recover this time. I was somehow saved when I was killed by Lancer, but that won't happen again. There's probably no magic that can save a person who has lost most of their stomach.

"…W-What were you thinking!? Don't you know I can't save you again…!?"

I hear an angry voice. It's probably Tohsaka. She seems really angry, and I'm sorry.

But it can't be helped. It's not like I can do everything like Tohsaka. All I could use was my body. …So that's why… The only thing I could do was to use my body to shield Saber.

This is a story from a winter five years ago.

It was a night with a beautiful moon. I wasn't doing anything, just watching the moon with Kiritsugu. Even though it was winter, the weather wasn't cold. The corridor was only a little chilly, and it was a good night to enjoy the moon.

Back then, Kiritsugu didn't leave the house much. Not going outside, he would just laze carelessly around the house. …I regret it even now, thinking back to it. Why didn't I notice that it was like the actions of an animal that knows its time of death?

"When I was a child, I wanted to be a superhero." Suddenly. That man, himself a superhero in my child's eyes, said that as if yearning for it.

"What? What do you mean by 'wanted'? Did you give up?" I became angry and asked him. Kiritsugu laughed apologetically and looked up at the sky.

"Yes, unfortunately. Being a hero is a time-limited thing, and it becomes hard to call yourself that when you grow up. I wish I'd found that out earlier." I agreed with that. I didn't know why, but I thought it couldn't be wrong because Kiritsugu said so.

"I see. Then I guess it couldn't be helped." "Yeah. It really couldn't be helped." Kiritsugu answers. So of course, my response was determined.

"Yeah, it can't be helped, so I'll take your place. It's impossible since you're an adult, but it should be all right for me. Let me take on your dream.

"―――I'll make it come true."

Before I could finish, my father laughed. He made a face like he didn't even need to hear the rest. After breathing in, Emiya Kiritsugu said… "Yeah―――I'm relieved." He quietly closed his eyes and his life ended.

Since he looked so peaceful, I thought he would wake up again in the morning, so I didn't disturb him. Perhaps being used to seeing death factored in too. Without doing anything, I just looked up at the man who was my father, as he entered a long sleep.

There were no sounds of insects in the garden as it was silent. In the bright night, I remember only my eyes being hot. I did not cry out nor did I feel sad. But I could not stop my tears until the moon sunk.

That is the story from a winter five years ago. Perhaps I cried ten years worth of tears since after that, there was nothing.

Fuji-Nee's father planned the funeral, and I started living in this house by myself. Nothing changed even though Kiritsugu was gone. Emiya Shirou would become a superhero like Emiya Kiritsugu, so there was no time to be playing around.

―――That's right. I didn't mention it, but I remember perfectly. The figure of the man who saved me, who was left to the fire ten years ago. He held up in his arms an unconscious child, about to die from burns. He became so happy that tears welled up in his eyes, and took the child outside.

From that time, he was the subject of my admiration. No one saved me. I couldn't save anyone. In it all, I was saved, and a person was there to save me. ―――That's why I decided to become like him.

Become a superhero, so that I could save people and let no one be killed… just like him. Kiritsugu died peacefully, leaving me his dream of becoming a superhero himself.

It's only natural for a child to succeed their father. Emiya Shirou must become a superhero and save someone just like the old me. I swore so as a child. To fulfill the dream of the man I admired the most.

…But honestly, I don't get it. What this superhero thing is supposed to be, how to become one, how to make everyone happy like Kiritsugu always said… and I became this thing called a Master and things like the blond-haired girl following me around is confusing my head and really―――

"……!" When I open my eyes, I'm in a familiar room. "What, I'm in my own room?" As soon as I speak, I start to feel terribly sick. "…Ugh… it tastes bad… in my mouth…" I taste blood in my mouth. Maybe it was filling my mouth, but I breathe in thick air.

"―――" I'm not sure why I feel like this. I feel really sick to my stomach, so I want to go to the bathroom and wash my face.

"―――All right." I stand up. I feel dizzy. I almost fall and support myself by putting a hand against the wall. "…Ugh." The nausea increases when I move. …No, this is more like pain than nausea.

My body is heavy and it feels like my stomach is turning every time I move. Maybe someone would feel like this if someone poured burning lead into their stomach. "…Ugh… Imagining that is giving me headaches." I wipe the sweat off my forehead and wobble out of my room.

"…All right. I feel better now." I wash my face and wipe the sweat off my body. "…?" There are bandages wrapped around my stomach for some reason. I can't recall anything about them, so I leave them be for now.

"…I'm hungry. I wonder if there are any leftovers…" Even though my stomach feels terrible, it seems my body wants energy.

"Guh…" Putting my mind into it, I start to walk along the wall. I still feel dizzy, and my body feels dull. "Ow―――Owww―――" I walk forward, letting out miserable sounds. …Really, what did I do before going to bed? I don't remember any training that could have caused this pain.

I reach the living room. Sakura and Fuji-Nee must be at school. There's no breakfast prepared in the living room, and there's none of Fuji-Nee's loudness. The quiet living room is like a typical Sunday――― "Good morning. I'm afraid I came in without asking you, Emiya-kun." ――No, it's not.

"Wha―――!?" Tohsaka Rin is sitting on a cushion. Her calmness makes me think I'm the guest in this house and not her. Yeah, that's why I'm even more surprised.

"……" I don't know how to answer her, so first of all I sit down. And then, I take a deep breath and ask,

"Tohsaka, why…" "Hold on. Could you apologize first? I can't calm down until I hear an apology for last night." I don't even have time to ask her why she's here.

Tohsaka is glaring at me like she's really mad. It seems she's really angry about last night, but what happened last night―――?

"―――Hold on." I recall it now. That's right, why am I so relaxed? I tried to save Saber and… Berserker blew away my stomach.

"…Ugh." The nausea returns. I feel a chill, remembering the feeling of having a hole in my body. Something in my stomach moves. It feels really sick. It feels really sick, but that's definite proof that I'm alive.

Wait, that's weird. Shouldn't that have been instant death for me?

"―――That's strange. Why the hell am I alive?" "Do you remember? The stupid thing you did last night? If you do, then please review your actions."

Tohsaka lets out a humph and criticizes me. …Huh, that's really annoying. My head, which was frozen by the fact that Tohsaka is here, finally resumes activity again.

"What are you saying? There was nothing else to do at that time! Oh… well, it does look stupid if you just look at the results, but I was going to do it better. So it wasn't a mistake." I protest, glaring at her.

"…Hm." W-What? Why is she sighing?

"Didn't I tell you that Servants will disappear if their Master is killed? So it's crazy to try to protect your Servant.

"Look, Saber will disappear if you're killed. If you want to save Saber, think of a way to do so from a safe place. …Geez, don't you understand that protecting your Servant with your life is just meaningless?"

"It's not that I protected her with my life. I tried to save her, and it just happened to work out like that. I didn't think things would end up like that either." I did think I would be killed if I went near that monster, but that's a different matter.

"…I see. You seem to be misunderstanding." As if she's read my mind, she sulks even more.

"Look Emiya-kun. I'll come out and say it, but I didn't take you to the church to help you win. I was trying to help you stay alive even if you were left on your own. It seems you didn't understand that part of it."

"Help me stay alive…?" "That's right. You shouldn't take risks if you realize that a loss equals your death. You seem to be someone who would walk out at night by yourself even in a situation like this. If I threatened you, I thought you wouldn't take risks and you might get through this."

"I see. I didn't notice that." So that's why she's complaining to me about not realizing that and running at Berserker.

"…? So why are you mad, Tohsaka? It shouldn't bother you if I'm the one that made the mistake."

"Of course it bothers me! You made me worry for a whole night!"

Tohsaka throws out a temper. …But I see. I'm honestly happy she's worrying about me. Looking at the situation, it seems Tohsaka was the one who treated my wound.

"I see. I guess you helped me out. Thank you." I bow my head to show my thanks and apologize. "――――"

"Heh, it's fine if you understand. If you've learned from this, try to act smarter next time."

Tohsaka looks away. Her gesture is snappy, but it seems she's in a good mood again.

"Then we're done with what happened last night. I'll go into the main topic, but which do you want to talk about? About last night or about something serious?"

"…?" Tohsaka starts a conversation as if it's natural to do so. Her straight-forwardness surprises me, but thinking about it, she's here because she has something to talk about.

If she didn't have business with me, she would have gone home already. What is it that Tohsaka, my enemy, wants to discuss in her enemy's territory?

I'm interested in that, and I also want to know what happened last night. It's stupid not to ask, so I―――

ive already decided all the weapons for the bkids but i am unsure if i should go for 5thgen ONLY for the specifics or just . EVERY MH GAME which would defintieyl expand my options a bit but theres like........ 500 MILLION Monstesr and therefore 500 M IL L IO N AR MOR SE TS and i wouldnt know whatto choose :(

but for the bkids weapons:

egbert: hammer. duh! don’t think i really need to explain this one, but shes the type to go utterly berserk once the monster’s been downed from a stun. has cleared the entire area of mizutsune, theyre all too afraid to fight her (hehe.. me) she lands a LOT of ko’s and is infinitely frustrated by the fact that you need to SHARPEN a HAMMER. WHO NEEDS TO SHARPEN A HAMMER??! ITS A HAMMER GOD DAMNIT

dave: longsword. again, duh! dont think i really need to explain this! anime loser boy, it feels appropriate. he’s the type to waste his gauge on helmbreaker in world and didnt learn till iceborne that theres more than one charge level on it. i haven’t played longsword much so i wouldn’t know a lot of the specifics but i think he would deliberately always go hit the head just to knock everyone else over cause hes a bitch like that :heart:

rose: this one is really tough, im stuck between dualblades, cb, and ig, but i think i have to go for db!

come on. shes totes a db user.

funnily enough she reminds me a lot of the stealth dango dualblades in rise ! i would say she’d use those but i have a feeling she would think they’re too silly.

again i havent played much of dualblades but i think she would be one of the More Sane dualblade players, she doesn’t roll down the backs of monsters that often and makes sure she gets the ACTUAL most damage out of an attack rather than doing whats cool (same thing with IG cause i know aerial attacks aren’t that powerful! atleast from what ive heard)

jade: lbg and hbg! but dabbles in other weapons (especially hunting horn) as well. she’s one of those insane motherfuckers that sets down an affinity booster and goes ham. decimates the monster in 10 seconds flat then carves like nothing happened. great to grind with, but when you’re really just trying to have fun i feel like she would end up going too fast

anddd for the alpha kids cause i just thought of them

jane: gunlance or greatsword! gunlance is known for poking and.. i guess that’s like forkkind? i LOOOVE gunlance and even though im not really good at it its very fun to play and it reminds me of jane :D AND GREATSWORD!!!!!!!!! it feels like almost every greatsword user (except me im not cool) is either SUPER DERANGED or SUPER CHILL or like... BOTH but not in themiddle. like a combination AND SHE TOTALLY FEELS LIKE IT. she would fucking KILL with strongarm stance in sunbreak she is the one person in the hunt to land SO MANY KO’S AND PARTBREAKS that it honestly becomes concerning. takes a long time to charge up (she thinks focus is an un necessary skill) but its always worth the wait!

dirk: again with the anime longsword boy. except he’s like..really good atit unlike dave. hes pretty humble about it for the most part but GOD FUCKING FORBID he knocks anyone over (which he does) (alot) . he never says anything but anytime theyre all grinding for decor he is telepathically urging them all to get flinch free just so he wont screw up their attacks. his favorite monster is scorned magnamalo and i should kill him for that but i wont. im nice

jake: hmm hes a toughie! i’m stuck between lance and sns (bowguns go without saying duh) lance is totally a Page weapon but sns is a Jake weapon...... maybe he switches between the two who knows! he tends to over-judge a monsters attack and block too early or too late half of the time and is a corner healer (i think thats the term. the people that huddle off into the corner to heal from an attack while everyone else is in the middle of the battle) but he means well! he does a pretty decent amount of damage but most of his skills are health/defense oriented and he DEFINITELY has earplugs.

Roxy: SWAXE, INSECT GLAIVE OR LIGHT BOWGUN. she hasd so many fucking mods i think either her pc blew up 3 times or she got banned from multiplayer even tho im p sure mods r allowed in multi . shes specil. she totally got introduced to the series via stories 2 and is the MOST into it out of everyone else on this list. she probably knows how to hunt in every single weapon but just so she isnt flexing she only plays swaxe and ig most of the time.......... she is SUUUPER fun to hunt with

Director commentary: Petel's first berserk!!

Oh god uh. Petel goes more wolf than they expected to lol

Okay but in all seriousness

First of all, Petel's click into going Berserk is just him shifting into Attack mode hahaha. I wanted the kids to all have different clicks for their Berserks (because Dante and Damon's are unique) but ended up just having two methods for it; switching to Attack mode after Guardian sighting and Guardian decides you are now Berserk.

Petel is a really fun character, despite just being wolf and that's all too them hahaha. They take that to the extreme because every facet of their character just goes back to wolf, so of course their Berserk is just a big ol' wolf hahaha. Petel's Berserk design is a once white wolf that's been tarnished over the many battles they've gotten into (since I couldn't just have them be pure white due to Shiranui lol) and they're thr push Petel needed towards realising they're nonbinary!

Also since Petel's character is half Peter and the Wolf, half Big Bad Wolf, Fear plays a lot into their character arc as it does with Dante's. They don't attack Dante because Dante doesn't show fear towards them and also because their overprotectiveness of him is what triggered their attack in the first place hahaha. Mostly I wanted this scene where Dante looks Berserk Petel in the eyes and they have an understanding hahaha.

Petel is also one of the only kids who feels the echoes of the Berserk even after getting booted from the game, seen in them trying to attack Abraham as they exit the scanner, and it's because their mind is already so tied to the wolf inside them that they're a wild beast. But also I just find it funny that they're more animal than proper human, they're just a wolf in human guise the same as Dante is a fire taking human shape hahaha.

Also all the fun action in this scene was a bitch to write, I'm not real good at action so I compensate with descriptions of things instead (Petel focusing on tearing the Bear apart, Dante getting stuck in his own head while Petel mauls Abe, all that) lol

During his spare time from studying at West Suffolk College, Dom goes into a nearby forest to practice his powers, including causing some mischief on people who got him mad such as woodsman putting up a fence he disliked. Somehow, without anyone noticing Dom was met by secret agents who run a secret organisation (not run by the government) who are willing to search and recruit beings with superpowers to solve crimes that need to be prevented and prevent wars from happening (not too easy to stop). There, they tested Dom's powers, giving him the name 'SparkBoy' and his Spark-suit, making him a full superhero, when ready.

In 2013, that was the year SparkBoy came to the eyes of the world. After the Boston Marathon Bombing shook the world, Dom (who turned 18) felt he had enough of all these crimes and terrorist attacks, and someone has to to stop all the wrongs of the world. He fought and beaten multiple criminals, earning a mixture of support and dislike from people all over the world. His crime-fighting skills inspired other superheroes to come together and fight crime all together as Team Honour.

I think I forgot to talk about watching the CGI Digimon movie. It’s the movie completely separate from any anime so no digidestined or humans involved and it goes into the origin of the X forms digimon get. What got my attention was a gifset years ago that showed a baby digimon just straight up dead and it’s known for how bad the CGI is. It’s dated and a lil wonky and because of how old it is, the quality was also low, but the fight scenes and some animations were nicely done. And I enjoyed the story, especially because we got a good look at the Royal Knights digimon, my favorite lore. I gush about the story under a readmore to cut length.

The story starts with how scary and hectic the digital world has become. King Drasil was overloaded with how many digimon there were, so he carried some digimon to a new server and released the X program to wipe out the remaining digimon, a plan called Project Ark. So overpopulation which is....eugenics. Had me worried at first, but thankfully it’s framed as a tragic occurrence and King Drasil is the main antagonist. Some digimon survived the X program and developed an X-antibody to gain immunity and that gave them new forms and the chance to migrate to the new digital world. Unfortunately, King Drasil caught wind of it and ordered the Royal Knights to take the X digimon out. Also regular digimon hated X digimon because they shouldn’t exist and X digimon just wanted to live.

I felt so disappointed when one of the Royal Knights, Omnimon, showed up and not only attacked the X digimon, but he also killed the regular digimon. They just started attacking any digimon the vicinity of X digimon as well. Later at the climax, King Drasil got desperate and released an army of berserk digimon to wipe out the new digital world. The main character Dorumon digivolved throughout the movie and when he reached his adult form, he noticed he looked like the berserk digimon army. Turns out he was an experiment of KIng Drasil made for this purpose. Also another Royal Knight, Gallantmon, grew suspicious of the King and ended up sacrificing his life against Omnimon to prove a point of how the Royal Knights had changed from digimon protectors to fucking genocidal monsters.

Gallantmon did come back with his own X form to help the other digimon fight off the army, while Omnimon who had a change of heart after going too far and killing his comrade, teamed up with Dorumon (now DoruGreymon) to confront King Drasil. At the height of the battle with the King, DoruGreymon changes to Alphamon, another Royal Knight, and he and Omnimon defeat King Drasil, resetting and saving the digital world. All they had to do was turn his ass off and on again lmao. It was a wild ride with how apocalyptic and genuinely tense things got especially because digimon actually died throughout the movie.

Torchlight 2 modding

Between Skullmug and the bonus stats, the odd demands of mid-ranged melee/pistol fighting might be manageable. Instead, the two weapons scale off of each other, and the Pirate gets an attack damage bonus paired with a smaller attack speed penalty, along with some skills that scale off of weapon damage. Implosion makes an appearance from the Embermage class, too. Blast Cannon makes an appearance, with less range and more damage, and a bit of a cooldown. The rest is a sort of Outlander/Engineer hybrid. Skullmug briefly grants 1/1.5/2% health regen/sec after any kill, for 1-5 seconds renewable, depending on the passive level. Passives and skills mostly depend on RH Pistol and LH melee. Pirate - Pistol-and-melee dual-wield class. VIT is sort of a weak stat in vanilla as it is, so that one scales from 10 to 50% by skill level, while DEX-FOC is 10 to 30%. I have a potion nerf in particular that I'm continuing to use with this.īoth of my new classes have STR-VIT and DEX-FOC cross-scaling passives. The vanilla base classes are all spammy all the time, and I'm sort of modding that out, but the balance is probably off at the moment. So imagine you can shoot Berserker's Rupture with a bow, but it takes a second or two to fire the shot - things like that. For example, I didn't realize until today that animation speed is a good mechanism for balancing some skills. I keep wanting to release a version, but I keep adding and changing things. Basically anything that doesn't require 3D modeling. I'm tweaking damage, cooldown, and animation speed, and regrouping skills sort of thematically, and also messing with some passives. Torchlight Infinite is scheduled to release in October 2022 for PC, iOS, and Android.I'm working on a couple of Frankenstein classes. But right now the game’s monetization seems suspicious, to say the least. Perhaps there are free-to-play ways to pull for pets or to gain access to the auto-looter without having to purchase a battle pass. It’s uncertain at this point if this battle pass or if these pets won’t require paid currency in the final version of Torchlight Infinite. On top of that, it looks like there are some commonplace features in ARPGs like an auto-looter that is locked behind a battle pass, despite the developers saying there won’t be a battle pass in a tweet in early August. Well, that doesn’t look loot-based at all. Then there are Class Traits that are special class-specific passives and there is a provided instance of one Class Trait that is locked behind a gacha paywall with paid currency. These pets also have a dupe system, where similar to gems in Diablo Immortal, can grant higher stat boosts if you get duplicates. These give extra passive skill trees that provide character stat boosts to damage, crit percentage, and other attributes. In fact, both the thread and its multiple comments compare the extent of the “deceptive” practices to Diablo Immortal.Īccording to the user, Torchlight Infinite has a gacha system with pets called Pactspirits. In a thread called “Torchlight Infinite’s Deceitful Advertisement on Their Monetization” on the gachagaming sub-Reddit, the user praises the gameplay but points to various articles and interviews where the game’s developers claim that it will not have stat-boost monetization and that there won’t be “any impact on build progression from microtransactions.” At the time of this writing, the description of the game’s Steam page under “Burden-free gaming” says that “all gear, affixes, crafting material and upgrades on attributes are all loot-based.” However, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Upper Moons HC

Kokushibo

☆☾ - He has developed and perfected a strong sense of patience. He's introverted and has a high perception ability which helps him to read humans or demons intentions.

☆☾ - He's warm and welcoming towards the people he cares about. I think there is nobility in his heart, despite everything.

☆☾ - He often thinks about his long lost wife and family that he abandoned and a frequent tug of guilt floods his heart. He shakes his head to drive away from the thoughts as he convinces himself that it was necessary, and they lived happier without him and his failures.

☆☾ - To me, Kokushibo looks like a man whose sense of humour is deadpan and stupid obvious puns.

☆☾ - Kokushibo lives in the forests at the top of different mountains of the same area. He hides his victims by passing off the corpse remains as attacks of wild animals or fatal accidents from falling from the cliffs of the mountains.

☆☾ - Upper rank one likes eating humans eyes as if they were grapes. He also likes the taste of warm, soft belly fat. I think Kokushibo kills the humans he eats quickly, so as not to attract attention with unnecessary screaming or crying.

Douma

☆☾ - I think he feels way more than he lets on. To me, Douma is someone who's in constant pain, but he decides to block those feelings and refuses to acknowledge them because of the vulnerability that they bring.

☆☾ - He's the definition of “laugh not to be sad”, you know?

☆☾ - It's easier to think that he's fulfilling the role his parents imposed to him while he claims he does it willingly to save others, rather than recognizing he was heavily abused as a child and that due to that he literally as no purpose in life.

☆☾ - I think the best way to get on his good side is to show A) sympathy B) That you don't need him and therefore, he can rely on you.

☆☾ - Douma has the kind of humour that makes fun of physical harm or pain, like falls and bumps etc.

☆☾ - In the Paradise Faith Cult is really easy to him to disappear people since he just has to convince everyone that people who frequent the temple find happiness elsewhere, and they leave the village to fulfil their dreams.

☆☾ - I think he has a couple of servants, and I think said servants know what he is, but they're self-centered humans who think good payment is too good to tell on him. They clean the blood out of the carpets.

Akaza

☆☾ - I adore the Taisho rumors that he likes to talk to humans. I think Akaza is one of the most human-like Demons out of everyone in the upper ranks.

☆☾ - I think he retains certain things of his personality as Hakuji. Akaza can be caring in ways no other upper ranks can. Had circumstances been different, he would have gotten along with Tamayo.

☆☾ - I think he's somewhat a nomad. He moves from place to place in search of strength and as he moves a lot is hard to track him down.

☆☾ - His hunting method consists of breaking the human's neck to then take the body to a nearby river or water body, which allows him to eat peacefully without leaving traces. Akaza has an special liking for the liver and heart of humans. I think it's what he eat first.

☆☾ - I don't think he's particularly violet with normal people, he just kills them and that's it. In the case of Demon Slayers however, it's a complete different story. He enjoys going berserk mode with them.

☆☾ - I think it's cute he wants a training partner, but can't find any demon slayer who's strong enough to meet his standards and when he did find them, they all rejected his offering.

Hantengu

☆☾ - He hunts via scamming people. I think Hantengu uses his frail old-man appearance to ask young ladies and men to help him get home, which is in the forest or far from the village, to then devour them. He eats the guts and most of te vital organs and then leaves the rests behind like carrion for other demons.

☆☾ - He bits the pulse line first to drink form there, and enjoys the human's expression as they die.

☆☾ - As his nails aren't as sharp as other Demon's he uses his horns to rip human skin when he needs to by holding them above his head and then sliding them down over his horns.

☆☾ - Hantengu uses his ability to split into two younger and visibly stronger demons to cover more territory and keep devouring people.

Gyokko

☆☾ - I don’t like this bitch so I’ll skip him.

Daki

☆☾ - I will address Daki with they/them pronouns because both Ume and Gyutaro exist in that body as one being.

☆☾ - I think Daki is crueler than Ume and Gyutaro separately, since they embody Gyutaro's resentment towards people and his wishes to step over anyone who interferes with his goals, and Ume's vanity and influenceable personality. I think this contributed to Daki being a hard-to-please, overly capricious, tantrum Demon.

☆☾ - Daki has more nuances to Ume's personality, and how she portrays herself while Gyutaro simply lags behind like a voice in her head telling her what to do when necessary. That's how they coordinate Daki.

concept: TOTAL WAR RWBY

in a universe where the great war destroyed every kingdom and caused a collapse of civilization you play as one of the five remaining peoples of remnant as you seek to (re) forge a kingdom that can stand the test of the grimm tide

KINGDOMS

Vale: led by Ruby Rose

ruby's kingdom of vale focuses on light cavalry and ranged. her own special abilites as a general are

SILVER EYED WARRIOR: grimm are weakened greatly within her aura and can even be outright destroyed if the differance in power between her and them is great enough

OPTIMISTIC HEROISM: lower unhappiness in area's controlled by ruby means that there's less Grimm to fight overall meaning lower garisons and more money spent on the main armies

unique units

Wood Runners: long bowmen with added range and melee combat stats equal to melee infantry. light armor means that you should keep them in cover though as well as being a juicy target for cavalry. added range over most normal archers and better armor piecing with their arrows makes them a powerful, unit that can last in melee as well specializing in Anti heavy infantry

Dire corgis: large war dogs with aura unlocked. look like giant corgis because they are giant corgis. great for running off ranged units and light cav. weak to spears, though their aura lets them hang around in combat longer than most would think. they do rely on the charge bonus though and can't be controlled once they're let off the leash. can be called back to their handlers though to be repositioned

FOCUS OF CAMPAIGN: ruby's main focus is to retake the cities and villages of vale that were lost to the grimm tide. your main strategy should be to build up on patch while the rest of vale falls to the grimm before striking out. your main advantage is against the grimm not people after all. and your added happyness means that you can spend more on your armies to put in your frontlines rather than worrying about protecting your rear (ruby's got a great rear guys) your main rival will be

UNITED TRIBES OF VALE: led by Yang Xiao-Long

yang's all about shock infantry and charge bonuses. using them to break the morale of enemy armies her special abilities are

HOT STUFF: human morale lowers around her and buildings catch fire in her aura when she's in combat. she's too hot to handle

PROBABLY WASN'T IMPORTANT ANYWAYS: still recruits units and receives money from buildings that are burned down. though at a slightly reduced rate

UNIQUE UNITS

Bandits: replaces mob, cheap units that gain charge bonus when next to another bandit unit. burn down buildings when nearby. no formations though and can't brace for charges so avoid cav. low morale, they're bandits they're not sticking around when shit goes south

berzerkers: shock infantry, cause dread in enemies lowering morale. chance of going berserk which makes them unbreakable but uncontrollable may even attack allies if they're the closest unit. REALLY FUCKING STRONG ON THE ATTACK! weak to ranged

yang's campaign is all about uniting vale as a tributary state to the tribe. you can recruit units from burned down buildings and still get money so spread like a wildfire and try to show your baby sis that it's safer under your protection. be aware that grimm are gonna be a huge problem for you so keep some bandits as a garrison in every village to deal with grimm.

"some of you may die... but I don't really give a shit about you" - Yang to the bandits probably

vale is a mix of American and French culture. so yeah kinda like Louisiana plantations but with more anime

Vaccuo: led by Jaune Arc

jaune specializes in pike infantry with heavy armor and heavy knights on horseback. he's set up to be a slugger with his special abilities

AURA AMP: allied units in jaune's aura slowly recover health and have increased stats (including armor)

SCION OF HEROES: the effects of chivalry are doubled and you gain it faster.

UNIQUE UNITS

shining knights: heavy knights with aura and mounts also in aura and armor. fuck you, fuck the guy behind you, and fuck the guy behind him I'm coming through. very expensive high morale and capabilities

rainbow guard: heavy pike infantry that proudly protect the standard of the arc family. give extra morale to those around them. fuck you they're not breaking. if there's even one guy left they're still fighting.

jaune's campaign is centered around taking control of the deserts and jungles of vaccuo from your origins in the mountains and hill country of the arc territories.

vaccuo's culture is like Scotland mixed with the middle east. fiercely independent people with a very strong sense of honor. also fuck you they'd rather die then be seen as a coward so you'd better just fucking kill them all. AND FUCK TAXES! so jaune has his work cut out for him, but he's in it for the long haul

MINSTRAL: LED BY PYRRHA NIKOS

pyrrha's all about personal combat and single entity units

INVINCIBLE GIRL: pyrrha herself is fucking busted and everyone wants to be like her. single entity units like huntsmen or companions are stronger and get more XP from battles

AN OFFER THEY CAN'T REFUSE: if pyrrha has more military power than someone they have improved relations with her. peacefully annexing people is possible this way. though this can cause a problem if you expand too fast

UNIQUE UNITS

pyrrha's guard: heavy spear infantry made in the image of spartans. slow but they decimate cav outlast ranged and out fight most over infantry. but they are fucking slow and hate being flanked where their phalanx will not work.

nora and ren: two unit entity, stealth shock is the name of the game ren sneaks them in close to anything even grimm. nora deals a fuck ton of damage all at once that can't be blocked by armor and shatters units. you only get one though sorry the world isn't ready for two noras

while sino/Greco/Roman culture makes martial ability the most important, however, only champions and highly expensive units can be trained. your low-level fighters (I.e most of your army) will have to be mercenaries. still with enough champions, you can take on most things so that's good

SCHNEE DUST COMPANY led by Weiss Schnee

atlas is all about dust weapons. a necessity because of but funded by Weiss's special abilities

COMPANY MEN: units require less upkeep cost

WEISSY: she's kinda a bitch, -50 to all diplomatic relations -75 to faunas factions

UNIQUE UNITS

WEISS GUARD: dust rifle units, slow to reload but longer range than normal dust muskets. dust round in general deal moral damage greater than almost any other units in the game (only yang's berzerkers and blake's beast-men scare people more)

BIG GUNS: 24LBS rifled field guns. or cannons rather for those who don't know the difference. fire straight and have an effective range of 1500 feet. highly accurate and with enough kick to drop even the largest of grimm

atlas and the SDC by extension are based on German and Russian culture (mainly german now that the nobles are gone) and have their main campaign focused on dealing with internal divisions and grimm. their cheaper units lends themselves to using dust arms rather than melee but bare in mind they suck in melee as a result. still, weiss is of the opinion that if you can kill your enemies from the comfort of your home and simply bombard them into submission or dust, why wouldn't you?

Menagerie led by Blake belladonna

menagerie must toe the line between animal and man, utilizing special abilities like

SAVAGE REPUTATION: the effects of dread are doubled and you gain dread faster

CUNNING HUNTERS: blake has bonuses to stats and the stats of her army while ambushing or attacking at night. doing both will make the bonuses stack

UNIQUE UNITS:

white fang infantry: can deploy anywhere light armor but use spears so cav has a hard time with them

NINJA: can deploy anywhere, inspire dread, use grenades flung from slings. capable of vanishing or using smoke bombs to lower enemy stats in melee for a short time

menagerie is a mix between Australian and Polynesian cultures but they are relatively new on the world stage. having been granted the island of menagerie in the brief time before the collapse of vale after the great war. the fuanas population outside of menagerie is very low as a result of the collapse and you have to ask yourself "what will you do to ensure the survival of your people?"

concepts.

chivalry: is a meter in the game, doing honorable actions increases chivalry. making formal declarations of war and waiting a turn to attack, not doing night battles, honoring alliances and calls to arms. generally making combat harder for yourself will be seen as chivalrous. the higher your chivalry the bigger bonus you will have to morale in battles and to diplomatic interactions.

dread: dread is the opposite of chivalry and is gained by doing unchivalrous actions. it will cause the enemy to start with lower moral and cause everyone (including yourself) to lose moral more quickly. this can be really helpful against strong enemies that have better weapons than you. it will also cause diplomatic relations to be harder. using dust muskets or cannons will cause dread but only in small amounts the more you use them the more dread you'll cause

post-campaign content

finishing your kingdom will open up international diplomacy and will allow you to start a campaign in another kingdom. each with different results based on the person you're playing

jaune can marry the ruler of another kingdom giving him their special abilities (jaune can only get dust muskets and cannons after he marries Weiss btw)

Pyrrha may offer protection to the others and gains their general unit for her own army

yang may extort tribute from them and treat them as the tributaries she had before gaining access to their unique units. ruby may offer bonds of friendship and do the same

blake may create embassies and get faunas versions of each unit (they can fight at night) as well as improve her chivalric reputation with each campaign (basically lets you gain the bonuses of dread without the negatives)

and Weiss may open up branch offices and have each character as a leader under her (you basically play the official campaign as the character you choose but with access to Weiss's abilities and units now as well)

you may only do one campaign at a time. so if you're jaune you have to subjugate yang and ruby in vale before you can try to marry weiss. you gotta finish what you started before you move on basically

on each map, there's an ancient grimm. this is a massive single-unit entity and has an army of grimm backing it. defeating this grimm will grant you a major bonus to happiness and prevent further grimm from showing up later.

single unit entities are very powerful but get weaker as their health goes down. their health will recover with time though

if you finish every campaign as a single character you unlock the grimm tide. salem has taken notice of you and wants you gone before ozma has a chance to bring you to his side. grimm will spawn every turn based on the unhappiness of cities in every kingdom you will wage a war all over the world against the grimm and try to hold on as unique and powerful generals lead hords of powerful grimm to attack you. these hords will even be supplemented by the grimm attracted to your unhappiness to keep your pops happy!

if you beat every general salem herself will come to take you out. she has an unending army that will constantly get reinforcement from offscreen every time you kill off a unit and she's a capable commander in her own right with powerful magic that will prevent you from camping too much (she's out of practice so she can only cast a spell every once in a while, be sure to move when you see the strange glow) if you can manage to get your character to her through her army you'll win and defeat her once and for all

@weatherman667 don't know if you play total war but had an idea for total war rwby and wanted to know your thoughts on the various kingdoms as lead by the main characters.

anyone else who sees this and has suggestions go nuts with it. it's just a bit of fun at the end of the day. how would you incorporate a character? what would their unique units be?
