 §   Name: Odysseus Travers

Notes: The character really isn’t based on anything nor did I derive him from any big inspiration. -Riiiiiiight. The name is just for show, not inspired at all from Odysseus from greek mythology, not at all. Speaking of his name, how does it fit the CNR?

-Why does each section of that template begin with a Sporebuck?

-You know, with weaknesses that big for using his Semblance, he may as well not have any, would be more practical. How can you "lead" your clones if with just 5 you already are unable to think or even stand straight? Plus, how can he lead those 30 clones he can potentially make, if he would die once making the 30th one? What happens to the clones when he dies?

-If his gauntlet is designed to be a defensive weapon, it may as well be a buckler or shield instead of a gauntlet. Same use, but much more effective and bigger and can have just as much potential as a weapon. Besides, only an idiot would make a gauntlet as just a defensive weapon.

-Background history up to the "found by a hunstman" part, is not the most awesome thing I've heard...but I guess it's more on the way you told it. However, his background story doesn't really explain why would he hate hunters. And who the fuck would give a man part of a group(s) like that, with a personality and background like that, the chance of joining one of the most prestigious Hunter schools in Vale? Seriously.

-His personality and character development-idea you have for him, is not the most original idea I've seen to be honest. It sounds rather...meh, actually. Thank you for your honesty as well as the critism. I truly do appriciate the critiques you have pointed.

-I do have to say that I am terrible with names and this is probably the greatest of example of me being terrible with them. People might say to go the name generator sites but I refuse to as I think that some of the names tend to be same-y and sometimes borish. I do see you point and I slightly agree that there may be some bias but in honesty, I didn't mean to rip the chracter from the same work or attempt to garner sympathy from it.

-I really don't know how that happened at all. It looked fine when I clicked on the preview.

-I wanted to do clones just cause it would fit in better with the eventual character becoming a good strategist but I do see your point. I think I tried to over balance the powers here. My first draft for his power were worse though, I orignally wanted him to be able to make 50 clones no sweat.... Yeah, throughing that number out the window. I guess I just didn't want it to be to overpowered and tried to give a glaring handy cap for using it. Also the 30 clones things is stated above.

-I want to laugh a little at this even though i know you mean well. Its just the orignal use for the gauntlet was as a means of protection. Never really meant to be an offfensive thing in the real world but I digress. I guess your right but I wanted to have some sort of funciton that wasn't just a shield. It was meant for only defense but the character would still use it to punch people. I see your point in making it a shield would be better in the long run.

-The huntsmen are supposed to abuse him as a basically a slave worker that can do more than just clean shit and do small errands. You are already caught by the police, now you have to do everything he says if you don't want to get thrown in jail. But by your suggestion, should I make more abusive? I would like your opinion on how to get there.

-That part about Beacon was more based on a potenial aspect. He has great potenial but he is using it for the wrong things. The idea was that if they stuck him in a place to do some good, would he change for the better by proxy? Would his time around good-natured people and well-hearted souls change him for the better? That idea.

- Can't argue anything there can I?
