[Okudo] Matashichiro plurk for Quinn's new thing
Snake-Kun
RECAP:
Snake-Kun
An ancient empire relied on a powerful martial art/magic system called Okudo to be awesome at everything
Snake-Kun
But they got too powerful and had a massive war that ended up transforming a big chunk of the continent into an undead hellscape
Snake-Kun
Now the survivors stand eternal guard at the edge of the deadlands and train warriors in an altered version of Okudo to defend against the undead hate-wraiths that come from the Necropolis that was once the empire's capital
Snake-Kun
So Matashichiro is a student at the name undefined temple/city/fortress
Snake-Kun
What I have figured out so far is that he is terminally lazy
Snake-Kun
But also MUCH smarter than he lets on
Snake-Kun
He never excels in his classes but he never fails either
Snake-Kun
He has it in him to be a top level student but thinks that would be too much effort so he just kind of carefully hovers in the middle of the pack
Snake-Kun
But then he got called out by....someone
Snake-Kun
And now he is in the special class along with Tsuchito and Kameko
Snake-Kun
Because the faculty believes that if he has a super exceptional teacher, they might be able to get him to actually apply himself
Snake-Kun
Okudo is an infinitely adaptable martial art that doesn't just border on supernatural but actually bulls right into bullshit magic
Snake-Kun
Matashichiro's expertise is on manipulating weight and gravity
Snake-Kun
He can stand on walls and ceilings like it's no big deal and do hits that increase his opponent's weight until they can't hold themselves up anymore and shit like that
Snake-Kun
So that's what I had so far

Yo that’s cool. Have you perchance read Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive? It’s not quite the same but Matashichiro’s gravity powers remind me of the Windrunner’s “lashings”
Snake-Kun
I have, actually
Snake-Kun
That....MIGHT have been an influence

yassssssssss

NO SHAME the surges have inspired me more than a little with a muse of mine who uses electric type psychic power
Snake-Kun
Snake-Kun
We are, essentially, taking the piss out on how Naruto's explicit message of "Hard work can trump natural talent!" is literally contradicted by every fight in the series because Naruto wins every single fight with natural talent
smashpotato
yoooo this is really neat
Snake-Kun
Anyways still to work out:
Snake-Kun
- Matashichiro is the name of a real person from Japanese history who was the subject of a play in which he was murdered and then avenged by a magic cat
Snake-Kun
He has a cat theme, but also has some kind of horrible wrong in his past that he wants to avenge
Snake-Kun
Mata's backstory is like
Snake-Kun
the bad end of Jaws
Snake-Kun
I'm still working out the details but basically
Snake-Kun
- Parents are scholars of some kind
Snake-Kun
- They predicted a horrible disaster coming and wanted to warn everyone
Snake-Kun
- The rich guy shut them up and either offed them or disgraced them
Snake-Kun
Because it would have cut into his profits
Snake-Kun
- The terrible disaster happened and lots of people died
Snake-Kun
- Matashichiro wants to get revenge on the rich guy
Snake-Kun
I think his public face is kinda Kroos-esque
Snake-Kun
Just super laid back "Take it easy!"
Snake-Kun
"Do you need me? No? I'm taking a nap"
Snake-Kun
/sleeps through classes
Snake-Kun
/gets a solid C+ on every test
Snake-Kun
Matashichiro
Age: 16
Parents: Geologists from a coastal village
Teacher: Generisensei
Talent: Rapid tactical thinking
Specialty: Gravity/weight manipulation
Physical stats: Eh
Mental stats: Above average
Tenacity: Eh
Snake-Kun
I should mention that like
Snake-Kun
the laziness IS something of an act
Snake-Kun
Not entirely but he DOES have motivation he just keeps it hidden most of the time so people don't expect too much from him
Snake-Kun
Life is easier when people underestimate you
Snake-Kun
Also his specialty is earth and water chi
Snake-Kun
Makes a lot of use of the Breath Chakra trick of using external chi sources so he can save energy
