Jetstream Flails Out Some Builds [3E] - Kurama

[JetstreamGW]

Whaddup folks? Figured I'd jump on the bandwagon and see about slapping out some characters of my own. I get to be one of the cool kids now! I'mma slap out a couple of reserved posts just in case I actually start doing this a lot like some of the madmen around here and need extra index space, so we'll get to the point of the thread soon enough.

The general focus of this will be... minimal focus, honestly. I'mma probably stick mostly to characters I like from various sources that I partake of. Let's see how bad I suck at this!

Hey, out of curiosity, how does everyone get images up on their profiles without them going away? I see a lot of people use photobucket, but doesn't that nuke your images after a while, and have a strict bandwidth limit? I wouldn't mind using pictures but I don't know how to make it reliable.

Let's lead in with one of my favorite shows ever, Yu Yu Hakusho. I've slowly begun building the main cast in order of appearance, starting with Yusuke and Kuwabara at the time of the Genkai tournament. Here's Yusuke, first of all.

Complications
Power Loss: After firing his Spirit Gun, Yusuke loses access to all his Spirit abilities for the rest of the day.

Reputation: Juvenile delinquent and general troublemaker.
Rivalry: Kazuma Kuwabara.
Relationship: Alcoholic Mother. Keiko Yukimura (Girlfriend).

Notes: If you'll note, he's got a crazy limitation on his Spirit Gun. This is to reflect how much he sucked at it at first. The limitation and power loss complication will go away in build number two, but we'll get to that later. Up next, good ol' Kazuma.

Notes: What can you say about Kuwabara? He's the comic relief character, but he's got some teeth. His powers are actually a little better than Yusuke's, though with less oomph due to the power level difference. Not totally sure I did his senses right... I might wanna put a "Detect Spirit" in there... or maybe that should wait for his later build... not sure.

Responsibility: Spirit Detective of Earth in the employ of the Spirit World.
Reputation: Juvenile delinquent and general troublemaker.
Rivalry: Kazuma Kuwabara.
Enemy: Saint Beasts
Relationship: Alcoholic Mother. Keiko Yukimura (Girlfriend). Genkai (Teacher)


Notes: This is after two months of being tortured (I mean trained) by the Old Lady (That'd be Genkai). As you can see he's grown in power by leaps and bounds. He can whip out the gun largely at will (there's a limit to it in the show, but it's rarely referenced) and has popped out a new technique or two. He's reasonably intimidating for PL 10, in my estimation... But then I'm new at this.

Complications
Responsibility: Strict adherence to a code of honor.
Reputation: Juvenile delinquent and general troublemaker.
Rivalry: Yusuke Urameshi. Jaganshi Hiei.
Relationship: Shizuru Kuwabara (Sister).

Notes: The meathead certainly wouldn't let well enough alone. After regaining consciousness he decided that he sure-hell wasn't going to let Urameshi get better than him just because he had a fancy teacher! Hell no! So he went and trained himself... Which he did pretty well all things considered. Kuwabara's a toughness shifted sort of guy. He's not that awesome in a fight, but he can take it. He's also very spiritually sensitive... Though I feel like I did his senses wrong. Sometimes the senses powers mess me up. Anyone have any input on that?

Responsibility: Strict adherence to a code of honor.
Probation: Hiei is a convicted criminal in the Spirit World, having masterminded the theft of the Artifacts of Darkness. He is assisting the Spirit Detective to work off his sentence.
Secret: Yukina (Twin Sister).
Relationship: Kurama (Friend).

Notes: What have I DONE? I created a nearly 300 point PL 10 character. What. The. Hell? Admittedly Hiei is a very experienced demon who has been given some specialized training and bought himself a badass toy (The Jagan Eye) that forced him to train himself up a second time from the relative power of an infant. In fact he's only now getting back to combat-readiness as of this point. He doesn't even have his major combat array yet! That will be in the NEXT build! I'm kinda scared... And I get to build Kurama next... I'm not sure if he's gonna be worse or not.

If anyone who knows the show/manga better than me thinks I really screwed up the Jagan array, I'd love to hear it. It's kinda beastly.
