Re: Emerald Flame's Character Builds (Mechamorphs)
Huh, so this one did the "Mystery Helper as Family Member" trope, too? That must've been big in Japan, as Speed Racer/Mach Go Go Go! did the same thing with "Racer X".

Re: Emerald Flame's Character Builds (Gatchaman)
Stand by....
I finally decided to tackle a favorite of mine.
RONIN WARRIORS!!
-or- In Japan... Yoroiden Samurai Torūpā, which translates to Legendary Armor Samurai Troopers
I have decided to post them in one large block, so all the characters will be posted at the same time. My knowledge of the cartoon is based on the American version, so I had to delve into the net and use my Search-Fu along with my Wiki-jutsu.
I was able to get a good chunk of background info and so I think that I will be able to build some reasonable characters.
I am aiming at PL 10 / 150 pt builds for the Ronin Warriors. The reason for this is that I like to make characters that could be plugged into a game without too much hassle. The Dark Warlords will probably be around PL 12 / 180 pts. This was done for "show reality" in that it usually took at least 2 Ronin warriors to beat down one Warlord.
I do not know if I will be stat'ing out Tulpa. He is a near-god level character and I just don't know where to put his power level.
SO stay tuned... it won't be long now!!

Re: Emerald Flame's Character Builds (Gatchaman)
RONIN WARRIORS
An introduction is in order... or more specifically... Backstory.
Thousands of years ago, there was an evil emperor named Talpa who attempted to conquer the Earth. The Ancient One was able to defeat, Tulpa and banish him to the Nether Realm. The Nether Realm is a ghostly realm of nightmares and formlessness.
Since the armor that Tulpa left behind could not be destroyed, the Ancient One split it apart into nine separate armors with their own powers and virtues. Each of the nine armors were infused with a Confucian or Bushido virtue with armors:
Righteousness (Wildfire)
Grace (Halo)
Trust (Torrent)
Justice (Hardrock)
Wisdom (Strata)
Loyalty (Cruelty) (Spring)
Serenity (Illusion) (Summer)
Obedience (Venom) (Autumn)
Piety (Corruption) (Winter)
The armors were then locked away until they were needed to defend the Mortal Realm from the evil Dynasty..
At the start of the series, Talpa has been able to re-acquire four of them, Cruelty, Corruption, Illusion, and Venom. He bestowed these suits on four humans who became his Dark Warlords.
The five remaining suits, were claimed by humans and now they fight the growing forces of Tulpa.

Re: Emerald Flame's Character Builds (Gatchaman)
Ronin Warriors! I know the name, but not much else besides the armours. It reminds me of Saint Seiya. (Which really doesn't get stat builds that often, especially not in 3rd edition)

Re: Emerald Flame's Character Builds (Gatchaman)
I have found that a lot of the anime series especIally the "supernatural " ones have a very "flexible" power level. In one episode characters can open massive dimensional rifts and then in the following epsiode they cant open a closet door.
Seriously though.. it's hard to quantify some of the abilities.

Here is the first of my builds.... I opted to post him right away. He is Ryu with White Blaze.
Ryo Sanada is the unofficial leader of the Ronin Warriors who is often accompanied by the large white tiger, White Blaze. Known to be brash and impulsive at times, he is nonetheless good-hearted and fiercely loyal. A tenacious warrior, Ryo was the first of the five ronin to engage the Evil Dynasty's force invading Shinjuku and the first to be rescued by Mia and Ully after their initial siege on Talpa's castle.
Using the virtue of Jin (benevolence), Ryo can summon the red Armor of Wildfire to become Ryo of the Wildfire . This armor draws power from heat and fire and armed with a pair of katana called the Swords of Wildfire. These swords can connect at the kashira to form a double-bladed sword style weapon from which Ryo unleashes his finishing move, the "Flare Up Now", a giant, fiery shock wave. Ryo later acquires the white Armor of Inferno, which requires the energies of four additional armors to summon. This armor's tremendous power was too great to harness until Ryo gained the twin Swords of Fervor, lit. Strong Violent Swords) by defeating Lord Sabrestryke. Together, Ryo can unleash the finishing move, Rage of Inferno which shoots rays of flame from the swords' blade.

Re: Emerald Flame's Character Builds (Ronin Warriors)
Huh- this is a show I'd only heard of, but never seen. You're right- if that was any more similar to Saint Seiya, there'd have been a lawsuit. That dude looks EXACTLY like a character from that show!
The issue with the lack of Seiya builds is that it was only popular in a few countries, and missed out on the North American anime boom(s) entirely. Despite how influential the show was, it is very unknown in North America still.

Re: Emerald Flame's Character Builds (Ronin Warriors)
It feels like anime bulids in general are pretty rare now, too. I mean, you do still see them on occasion, like in this thread, but not like the ATT where there was an entire open thread for people to post their own anime builds. But yeah, despite Seiya's popularity in some places, it completely failed to catch on North America (probably because DiC's dub of it is..reeaaally bad.) Now, as a show, Saint Seiya is very much a cliched shonen series with a bland main protagonist, but I still really like the armor designs and special moves.Jabroniville wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2017 8:07 am Huh- this is a show I'd only heard of, but never seen.

Re: Emerald Flame's Character Builds (Ronin Warriors)
Acruelly, I think Ronin Warriors arrived on the anime scene BEFORE Saint Seiya. I could be wrong thought.KorokoMystia wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2017 11:04 amIt feels like anime bulids in general are pretty rare now, too.

I've been a fan fan of anime for a long time. I enjoy the story telling.. if not a little predictable at times. The biggest problem is that when the anime series arrives in America, they usually edit the hell out of it and crop out the more in depth or mature story lines so you are left with a lesser product.
I remember the anime thread on the 'Think Tank.
Stay tuned... I hope to have the rest of the Warriors posted today.
* quick correction:
Ronin Warriors anime first aired in 1988
Saint Seiya Manga first debuted in 1986.

* Kento Rei Fang wears the orange and brown Armor of Hardrock, which represents the element of Earth and the guiding virtue Gi (Righteousness/Justice). It is said to be the most violent of the armors. His rival is Dais, the Dark Warlord of Illusion.
* Kento is arguably the strongest of the Ronin Warriors, as he can perform feats of great strength without his armor.
* Kento has a short temper, but he also has a good heart.
* Kento is also good friends with Cye and Rowen.
* His weapon is a combination of a three-section staff and a naginata which he sometimes wields like a pair of nunchakus in close combat. The armor's sure-kill is Iron Rock Crusher which causes a massive earthquake-like disruption around him.

* Rowen Hashiba wears the indigo Armor of Strata, which represents the element of air and the guiding virtue Chi (Wisdom)
* His enemy is Anubis, the Darklord of Cruelty.
* He is said to have an IQ of 250, making him the most intelligent of the Ronin Warriors. He often acts as a voice of reason to Ryo and Kento's hotter tempers. Rowen is close friends with Sage, as they share similar interests
* His weapon is a collapsible bow which draws a seemingly unlimited amount of arrows from a small quiver attached to the armor's back. His sure-kill is Arrow Shockwave, an extremely powerful light arrow.
* Rowen's name Hashiba is most likely from Toyotomi Hideyoshi's original surname, Hashiba. Toyotomi was Oda Nobunaga's successor, and unified Japan under his rule for a short while.
