Character’s Name:— Anstis Johnathan
Total X-Poinz:— 1,534—:New Traits:—
I’d like to rename Inhuman Strength to “Veteran’s Ferocity”, Inhuman Toughness to “Weathered Storm”, and Flame Resistance to “Fiery Resilience”. In addition, here’s the extra Starting Trait he was due, and a new one for passing the “C” threshold:
Enduring Legacy
Racial Trait
Stamina
Johnathan’s age has yet to slow him down in the long run and, coming back to piracy with a new lease on life, his well of stamina has returned with vengeance. He’s a fierce combatant and powerful leader with the ability to keep on fighting for prolonged periods of time before exhaustion sets in, though he will admit he’s not as young as he used to be, though his veteran status has far from diminished the fire of passion in his heart.
Sea Legs
Class “C” Trait
Balance
Few times have men seen Captain Anstis fall in battle, and few times will it happen again. Steady on even the stormiest of waters despite his stature, John is an exceptionally well-balanced individual whose ability to remain steady proves him a difficult foe. Even against the heaviest of blows he can remain on his feet, thus making him as much of an immovable object as he can be an unstoppable force.—:New & Updated FiSts:—
A rather simple upgrade with an updated description!
Ijzer en Vuur
“Iron & Fire” in Dutch
Class “D” > “C”, −300 X-Poinz │ +150 Rebate
Focus — Sword, Flintlock, Rough Tactics
Wielding appropriately massive swords for his size and an enormous example of a flintlock pistol, Anstis Johnathan is an overwhelming opponent to face in close quarters. His comrades of old once compared his fighting style to the foot of a waterfall—you know you’re going to get tossed around and left for dead. This style doesn’t compensate for long range encounters all too well, though the sheer scale of the weapons used and the man himself make even a medium range a difficult fight due to such reach. Clever use of improvisation, powerful swings, and intermittent shots forge a truly tempestuous, buccaneering style of combat.—:New Aspects:—
Verpletterende Cascade
“Crushing Waterfall”
Class “C” Aspect | Ijzer en Vuur
Pressure Conduction
A technique by which Johnathan is able to drastically intensify the impact of his mighty strikes, even after they have connected. By maintaining and focusing strength through the melee weapon of choice, the blade resonates with force that seems to erode at the resilience of whatever it is he has connected with. A strong hit only seems to magnify in its intensity, eventually cracking through even the most stalwart of defences such as stone and steel in a sudden radial surge of pressure.—:New Techniques:—
A few new attacks for the veteran, and my first attempt at a cross-language pun!
Vuurvat
“Fire Keg”
Rank 1, −0 X-Poinz │ −50 Rebate
FiSt — Ijzer en Vuur
Tossing out a keg or barrel of alcohol, black powder, or a similarly flammable substance if available, Johnathan shoots it with his flintlock. The fierce impact and volatile contents of the barrel mean that the slightest spark caused by the bullet’s impact ignites the lot in an explosive, slightly incendiary blast.
Drakensnijder
ドラケンシュナイダー
竜斬万力
“Dragon-Cutter” (lit. “Dragon-Beheading Vice”)
Rank 2, −125 X-Poinz │ −0 Rebate
FiSt — Ijzer en Vuur
Aspects — Verpletterende Cascade
A powerful overhead swing with his sword. Johnathan aims to trap his opponent in the hook of his blade—an action that would easily trap and cut most people in half. However, this particular attack is designed to apply increasing pressure from the whole inside edge of the blade, trapping exceptionally large and tough opponents before generating enough might to carve clean through them. It is especially effective against Giants, Sea Kings, and other large creatures that can be more readily locked inside the hook of the blade.—:Final Expenditure:—
X-Poinz Remaining Pre-Purchase: 1,134
Rebate Remaining Pre-Purchase: 0
X-Poinz Spent During Purchase: 425
Rebate Gained During Purchase: 150
Rebate Spent During Purchase: 50
X-Poinz Remaining Post-Purchase: 709
Rebate Remaining Post-Purchase: 100
