Okay, Arkantos95 and Solv Ugle.

I’d actually add about 5-10lbs to his weight, as he barely tips into the overweight category but he’s meant to be muscular. Other than that, it’s all a very simple but effective design.

Honestly not sure why you went with a Norse specific chief title when ‘village poet’ or ‘story keeper’ works just as well. I had to look it up because it has no context to tell me what a skald is, and it feels shoehorned in for the sake of it rather than an actual cultural thing for their village.

The fact he couldn’t recognise that there is a place for loudness and near his overly sensitive teammate who has a physical reason for not wanting to be around loud people is not the indicator of a good leader. If I were Skorupi I wouldn’t even like him a tiny bit, even if he did beat me in a fight. He’s pretty much being a selfish dick to the faunus on the team.

His semblance feeling like cheating is...silly. Semblance is a part of you, and Angus had his own semblance that he could have used just as well. It feels like unnecessary drama added in for the sake of plot rather than actually being something someone who has been training as a Huntsman would feel.

The part about only just finding he wanted recognition after he literally won a televised tournament that had his name being shared in all four quarters of Remnant is silly as well. If he was going to be struck by a desire to become world famous, he would have done it when he won the Vytal Festival Tournament, not when he responded to a distress signal from an old school friend in the middle of nowhere.

And then he went on to become an actor in a lead part with no training and was critically acclaimed...despite real life showing that even natural actors aren’t critically acclaimed in their first movie. Acting is a tough job, and he’s spent the last handful of years learning to fight, not act.

4) Trivia - 5 points

5) Weapon - 15 points

DBAG...dirtbag? I’m really not sure what the sarcasm is about. Nice weapon, I like the design you’ve chosen for the body and headstock.

6) Semblance - 5 points

I...am not a fan. It feels more like magic and Ozpin-soul-stuff than a semblance, what with the whole ‘learning skills from ancestors’ and singing about them adds their specific strength to him. If it was a generic strength boost it would be fine, I think.

7) Combat Info - 4 points

For someone who felt like using his semblance was cheating before, his entire fighting style is based around it. Which makes his reaction to his win in the Vytal Festival just a touch ridiculous now.

Total -  80 points
