Custom-Made Anime Characters, $2.00

I wouldn't normally do this, but, okay, I'll bite this time. Particularly because I already know my answer. AND I know who to blame for this... (I'll get you my pretty! Muahahaha..)

So without further ado: If I Were an Anime Character (Fighting Series) -

1. Appearance: About 5'8" (yes, folks, I'm adding a whole inch), long hair, possibly around knee-length (it would never get in my way of course), of a dark but NOT black-looking shade of brown. Fairly muscular but not, well, huge. Just athletic I suppose.

2. Fight Ability - on a combat scale of 1-10 (1 being an attack of a wet willy, and 10 being destroying a city block.): Generally around a 4 or less. However, if I ever got angry/desperate enough to pick up a non-choice (more damaging) weapon, that could go up to a 9.

3. Weapon of choice: A huge, body-sized shield, curved slightly to easily hide behind, along with something little to throw from far away. Something about the size of a baseball or even as large as a softball, not so heavy/hard, sharp jagged edge but nothing that's going to penetrate far or be highly damaging - though with enough hits (I don't know how many.. lots) it could definitely weaken someone. For up close fighting, when it happens, a small dagger of an equally harmful quality.

4. Clothing: Traditional cowboy (cowgirl?) style, including hat and boots, with a dagger sheath instead of a gun holster, and the exception that the whole outfit is in bright instead of traditional colors. And I do mean bright. And very colorful. Of course, when expecting an attack, armor would be worn over this, which would be a nice camouflage..

5. Weakness: tendency to take too many hits before striking back, slow movement until angered (see question #2), usually willing to back off quickly and give the enemy time to recover and, what, decide not to attack again? Something like that. Also counting on highly un-formed persuasion skills and an overly naive kindness to convince the enemy to reconcile and go out for ice cream instead of fight.

you know, if your charecter can create those pink and yellow backgrounds with hearts and stars floating everywhere, she might have considerable successs with her invitations for ice cream.

I think Bronwyn's character would also be one of those whose eyes turn into stars when angry and can pull a mallet out of thin air for hitting someone with.

Matthew Kinney said...

True, but forget the mallet--I want to see her turn black with electric bolts flying everywhere while she pulls out a rocket launcher, and then watch everyone else on the screen turn into white "ghost" versions of themselves and skulk away

Hehehe!

Rocket launcher, hmm? I like that image.
