[GRIT] Futile Combat Guide Author: Jon 'O-Jin' Rowbottom Date: 2000/02/07 Forum: rec.arts.anime.misc ----- INFO Futile (Futile Q) Jon 'O-Jin' Rowbottom ojin_migoto@hotmail.com ----- RANK 6 TRAITS Attributes: Nimble Skills: Chi-Powers Dodging Hand-to-hand (-) ----- ATTITUDE Style: Ties the opponent down with chi-blasts to make sure that they cannot cause any damage. Methods: Approaches combat with caution, disliking damaging even faceless minions. She focuses on making sure that enemies are not a threat and providing covering fire rather than on nuking the foe. Advantages: Standard 'hero' abilities (identical to 'standard martial arts abilities', but a different myth system ^_^) - super leaping, healing factor, presence sense, etc... Disadvantages: Pacifism - Futile greatly dislikes hurting anyone, even in self defence. If she does so, she stands a good chance of becoming distraught and, to all purposes, useless for combat - maily brooding or panicking, dependent on the occasion. Techniques: Ark Bolt - Futile is able to hurl very powerfull bolts of electricaly based chi around. She needs to concentrate -very- briefly to gather her chi, then hurls the power from her palms. The bolts are purely electrical and would be stopped non-conductive armour, grounded / conducted by water or metal, etc. She -can- control where it will strike well enough that it won't allways ark out of her control, but it's still a frequent occurance and yet another reason for her constant caution.
