Community Tag: jukai tokura
Background: Jukai grew up with a surprisingly stable home life, given the post-Impact world: her parents both hold stable jobs, though they work a lot, so she doesn't see them as often as she'd like. Her time was thus filled with other people, spending time with friends to keep her sane. As time passed she grew to become someone that everyone liked, and she learned a lot of new things. Her friends were a source of strength, but they were something she wanted to protect at any cost, and eventually she got into trouble trying to protect people from themselves too much. In the process of averting a major incident involving a local gang with weapons, she was severely injured and spent a few months in a coma. Upon her return to consciousness, her friends' smiles gave her the strength to get back up, and ever since she's taken on increasingly dangerous enemies in the name of protection.
Aside from being able to defend herself, she's also learned another kind of combat: playing games. A surprising number of her enemies have already heard of her and don't want to deal with having to actually fight her, and she's had to learn a variety of alternate methods of diplomacy to keep out of trouble. She's not great at all of them, but she's exceptionally lucky for reasons she doesn't know and would rather not find out.
Personality: Even in a post-Impact world, Jukai's a bit of an oddball; she's always bright and cheery, no matter the situation, and will always look for the silver lining in any condition. It's hard to keep her down for long. Her personality attracts people, and she makes friends quickly. She likes to think she's a breath of fresh air in the modern, depressing world, and one of her goals is to keep everyone around her happy, because... well, that's the right thing to do, isn't it? She also lives to protect her friends, and she'll take on any job - even taking on your jobs, possibly without your suggestion or consent - to keep everyone safe. She's become surprisingly strong thanks to all her odd jobs in the name of her friends, ranging from small errands to large-scale delivery runs, and occasionally involving dealing with some faction or another.
The rule of fair play is one Jukai lives by. She won't stand for perceived cheating or injustices, though she's smart enough not to be loud about it, or to go find the person you're cheating. That's interesting when taken together with her desire to protect everyone; she'll drive herself crazy trying to figure out how to fix problems without hurting her friends, but she'll always find a way. Probably.
Under the surface, though, she's a little unstable. She'll bounce back from small slights and setbacks, but if you really shake her up she'll be uneasy for a while, though it may be hard to tell. Severe shocks will break her for a good long while, though, and if you keep adding more strain, once she gets back to normal she won't be quite the same. She dislikes being alone, and hates quiet places; she thrives in crowded areas with a lot of things going on.
She's also the kind of girl that will keep going for anyone's sake but her own, as far as she has to go to get the job done. It's brought her to death's door before, and she'll gladly give everything she has to solve her friends' problems, even trading her own happiness to keep her comrades running. She'll wear a fake smile and force herself to keep moving, if it'll earn her another smile from someone she cares about. She's been accused of being too nice fairly often, but it's so core to who she is that she can't change it... nor does she really want to.
Capabilities and Resources: Skilled with games and puzzles. Jukai's optimism tends to manifest as a very high luck stat. She's not particularly well-versed in probability and statistics, but hey, when you're lucky, who needs that? She's also able to use the VFX Modulator, special equipment that allows her to manifest and control summons from an internal energy source; it can also manifest a shield in an emergency, but when the energy runs out, Jukai's in trouble. As a side note, she's also got a lot of enemies from her time doing odd jobs, to the point where various small-time operations are well-aware of who she is. A large number of them would rather not fight her and would prefer another way to get rid of her, but where there's someone with something to cover up, there's someone willing to resort to violence.
Equipment and Summon List:
VFX Modulator: Jukai's solution to combat, she can use it to summon various small drone-like mecha. While they're small alone, they can combine into larger and more dangerous forms. The VFX Modulator runs off its own internal energy source; summoning pulls from this, as does using the Modulator's shield feature. She can maintain four summons at once, which sounds like a lot but gets used up fast. Unlike Yui, with her grouped summons and powerful support spells, Jukai is specialized toward monsters that can join together when more power is needed, and equipment. Her summoned creatures seem to vaguely draw from hero archetypes. Though incantations are listed, they aren't required; they're more to be flashy, and help Jukai concentrate.
Greatshield: Tanky mini-super, three meters tall. Nobody's quite sure what it's made of (or if Jukai does, she isn't telling), but it looks like a stout grappler-type, with a stocky build and thick arms, and a large shield on one arm; it's very solidly made, and good in melee. Extra VFX energy empowers the shield. A standard mook unit, not that strong, but versatile; swims readily, but can't fly. Size SS, low VFX cost. Up to two at once.
"O guardian soul, appear before me and protect me from harm! Greatshield, ward thy master!"
Terrain Stats: Land: B | Air: - | Sea: B | Space: D
Thunderclap: Fast mini-real, three and a half meters tall. Uses beam-based energy attacks at short to moderate range; it can't snipe well, but it's relatively effective at reasonable ranges. Looks thin and wiry, with an arm cannon; it makes a signature sound when it fires, not unlike a muted crash of thunder. Defenses are poor. Capable of flight, but won't work in water, and slow on land. An offensive mook unit; its weakness is anything that negates beams (like laminate armor). Size SS, low to mid VFX cost. Only one at a time.
"O warrior soul, appear before me and bring ruin unto my enemies! Thunderclap, strike down!"
Terrain Stats: Land: C | Air: B | Sea: - | Space: B
Sunbeam: A summonable hoverboard, orange with red accents. Jukai prefers to use it for herself, and hers has convenient foot bindings for ease of use, but she can summon one for use by just about anything. It's sturdy enough for use even by a super robot! It's fast, but it's not durable; crashing it or letting it be shot is the end of it. Can ride the surface of water, but it stops working if submerged. Slower in low light, darkness, or caves, but still a good travel tool. Low to moderate VFX cost. Up to three at once, no more than one per unit. Targets: Jukai; or any unit, size SS to M, scaling cost.
"O light, gather unto me and guide me to the future! Sunbeam, converge!"
Terrain Stats: Land: A | Air: B | Sea: - | Space: A
Blade of Brilliant Dawn: Jukai's answer to close combat, the Blade of Brilliant Dawn, or simply the Dawnblade, is a longsword that shines with a holy light. Aside from looking cool and being plenty sharp, its edge is made more keen when used for a just cause. It significantly increases the attack power of its wielder, and can block incoming melee attacks handily, though beams are kind of a problem for it. The Dawnblade also lights dark areas, depending on how big it is, which in turn depends on how big its wielder is. As a last-ditch tactic, the blade can be planted in the ground and the pommelcap pressed; five seconds later, it will explode into a brilliant burst of light, dealing some damage to anything near it and blinding everyone for a while. Such a usage consumes the sword and some extra VFX energy on top. Overall, the thing's powerful, but... it's a sword. You'll have to get in close to use it, and that's usually half the problem. Low to moderate VFX cost. Up to three at once, no more than one per unit. Attacks are melee range (range 1) or a small-range MAP attack (damage at range 2, blindness at range 5). Targets: Jukai; or any unit, size SS to LL, scaling cost.
"O blazing dawn, gather in this righteous hand and lead me to victory! Dawnblade, shine!"
Weapon Stats: Land: A | Air: A | Sea: A | Space: A
Everspark: [Greatshield + Thunderclap], eight meters tall. The better qualities of both simple summons made it into this larger form: it's got enough bulk to take a few hits, and can still more than hold its own in melee, plus it's fairly quick and has access to the arm cannon still (let alone with some extra punch behind it), with the shield on its other arm. The downside is that it eats two summons, but... that's the price of power, right? Size S, moderate VFX cost. Jukai can summon this without needing the materials out first, but it eats a lot of energy - she basically still has to pay for them. A surprisingly powerful unit for what it is. Good adaptability to terrain; a propeller-like blade on its back gives it surprising agility in water. Only one per combat; if it's destroyed or de-summoned, it can't be created again.
"Souls, come together and become the power to deliver justice! Everspark, rise and bring me victory!"
Terrain Stats: Land: A | Air: A | Sea: A | Space: B
Upgrades: One or two new base summons, a few more fusions, and a mecha with barriers all over the place. I've got no data right now; I'll propose things when I do.
Job: Student, when it doesn't get in the way of helping people.
Suggested Event List: I think Yui has the master list.
Sample Post: Suddenly! A testrun from... uh, a little while ago!
