The Special characters topic

[karsten]

Post here your portrait, spritesheets, tentative skillsets for the 3 new chars:
zodiac, vincent and karsten.

zodiac is a dual wielding fighter
vincent is a cowardly wind mage
karsten is a cheap bastard that uses tricks to get advantages.

[Xifanie]

will Vincent get even lower brave than rafa?

so here are the infos for the tentative skillsets gathered so far:

Vincent
Wind Mage
Zodiac Sign: Aries

[VincentCraven]

So liek:

Name: Vincent
Class: Wind Mage
Skillset: Wind Magic
Zodiac Sign: Aries
24 Brave 76 Faith

Equipment: Dictionary, Bow, Hat, Clothes, Robe, Shoes, Gauntlet, Armlet, Ring, Mantle
Stats: 36 HPC. 75 HPM. 30 MPC. 120 MPM. SpC 180. SpM 120. PAC 180. PAM 70. MAC 126. MAM 110. 3 Move. 3 Jump. 18% C Ev.
Innate: Defend (cuz I'm a coward)
Half: Wind
Immune: Invite (I am a special character...)


Not so sure about the actual speed/power/mp cost, but I'm aiming for quick but weak attacks on Aero and Aero2.

Wind Magic:
Focus => +1 MA (magical version of accumulate)
Aero => like Fire/Bolt/Ice with Wind; [CT2, Q10, MP6]
Aerora (Aero2) => like F/B/I with Wind; [CT4, Q20, MP25]
Wind Cutter => magic; linear 4v2 attack; [CT5, Q24, MP20] (cannot target opponent)
Cyclone => magic; 3v4 autotarget and harm caster too; [CT6, Q30, MP50]
Dash


Maybe not too useful but you can't say I'm not unique!

i like it. actually a very fast magic to peel damages is a must have in this game. if we add some wind draining equipment (to be stolen or poached) you might be really useful

by the way, i was thinking over when we should join the game. maybe instead of the first battle, wouldn't it better for us to join in the first chronological battle? i mean the one the cadets fight agaisn ramza and delita in the past? instead of battling those 5 "tortured thieves gang" they and to battle us 3... that way we would be available since chapter 1.

ideas?

[trickstardude7]

haha be Algus's buddies at mandalia plains or something

[VincentCraven]

Hmmmm....

If so, then we'd better boost enemy difficulty in chapter 1 by a lot.

I'd rather start the game fighting us 3, go through chapter 1, and then find that instead of getting Rad, Lavian, Aliciia, I get Karsten, Vincent, Zodiac. But it was your idea, so your call.

pick me, but when i die i should explode, prinny style

[huthutchuck]

Zodiac you are selling yourself short a little as far as abilities.  Just an opinion,  but since you are special characters, I feel that each of you should have at least one original or rare ability.  (Zodiac perhaps???)  at least give yourself some magic balls and/or throwing stars.

I love the dirtiness of Karsten.  It's just something about breaking battlefield ethics that is very appealing.

Vincent, I love because of the originality and usage of a rare element.I would possibly add a hurricane attack, simply because i would like to add the animation from haste 2, where the whole board turns green and spins around.

[VincentCraven]

^ That sounds like an easy way to deal with Cyclone's animation.

[Sen]

Just don't use the Hurricane animation to make single target spells(like Wizard's Fire,Ice,Bolt,Flare etc.) coz it crashes the game.

[huthutchuck]

By the way, I like the idea of you guys being the replacement for Rad. Lavian and Alicia.  Are you going to get gained jp up since you wont be available until ch 2.

[NeedsMoreNoise]

From the things Zozma has been doing with Lavian and Alicia, I think I (and probably lots of others) would rather have those. I mean seriously, look at his sprites. ;-;. I don't mean that Zodiac/Karsten/Vincent shouldn't be included in the game, but not as replacements for Rad/Alicia/Lavian. This is also because from the job descriptions given in this thread, their classes would be less useful than the Mystic Knight/Red Mage/something that were being brewed up in the other thread(s).

[huthutchuck]

Please enlighten me, what plans are for Rad, Lavian and Alicia.  Realize that in this patch Red mage will be a selectable class and not just a special class for Rad.  Also I'm not sure we can currently do the Elemental slash abilities yet.  I know Mystic Knight is one of my personal faves along with red mage, but i don't know of their will be room in this patch for that many special characters.  But please hip me to the work being done.  It's amazing how you can be in one part of the forum and miss something in another part.

[huthutchuck]

Thanks for the links.  I saw them not too long after my last post.  The problem is that this patch is for the "big three" to insert them into the game.  We are kinda at a fork with this patch and sigma.  This  VK patch I see as a tribute the the three biggest persons responsible for getting this site up and functional especially after Philsov bailed.  Zozma has done some great work and I would love to see it included but it may be in Sigma if Vince and others are up to it.  Maybe it should be a third patch in the workings.

[Asmo X]

I was under the impression that this patch was going to be "the big one". That includes all changes thus far discussed and would incorporate the changes to Rad, Alicia and Lavian as well as including Vincent, Karsten and Zodiac.
