Absolutely necessary battle stance

(ft hearing loss yusuke)

Occurs when a character uses all of their bullets in three consecutive battles OR to any character who is surrounded by characters who have used all of their bullets (including themselves) in a single battle.

Allows for character positioning to be a new mechanic - more than just swapping characters in or out - who stands where?

Effect: If the MC is affected, all other characters go into "Act Freely" mode (MC can't hear them ask what to do). If not the MC, character alone goes into "Act Freely." In all cases, the character has a 50% chance to miss and a 25% chance (calculated independently of chance to miss) to lose their balance and fall down, causing them to miss their next turn. Lasts between 2-5 turns.

Items/healing: Gun customization can allow for suppressors to eliminate hearing loss or for long barrels to introduce a constant low (maybe 3%) chance of causing hearing loss. Certain armor or accessories can prevent hearing loss, and it can be healed by skills like Amrita Shower. This is also impacted by moves like Foul Breath and Stagnant Air.

I think, for balance, there should be a way to inflict hearing loss on an enemy...maybe, if positioning is a feature, if the character in front, nearest the enemy, uses a gun move or skill, there is a similar constant 3-5% chance of the enemy being impacted by hearing loss. And maybe there could be a move that quiets the enemies' side of the battlefield, greatly increasing the chance of causing hearing loss. Depending on the balance, this could possibly be a status effect few bosses are immune to (since it presents a decent penalty to the player).

If I’m able to, then perhaps I’ll be closer to portraying a true expression of love.

i wanted to animate this but my software crapped out on me so. :/

based on this and the rest of the gang! maybe never let these guys near horses

Please don't hate me

Mustang is an Atoner figure. Something that plagues Atoner figures is when writers are too precious about the characters we're meant to like to actually let them be guilty of something serious.

The Atoner might be trying to make amends for their involvement in the Great '87 Hotel Massacre, and then three seasons in you find out what happened. And it's like, "I drove a taxi to the hotel, and the KILLER was in it! I ferried the killer to the hotel! That makes me responsible, and now I must atone for being nearby while the killings took place! And also vanquish the real killer who is the villain for this season."

Or maybe the Atoner did do the killings but they were under mind control the whole time and would never, ever have done it in their right mind.

But FMA said no. Mustang, Hawkeye, Hughes, even Armstrong to an extent though he suffered a breakdown and fled during it. They did that shit. They followed their orders and they did that shit. And it haunts them.

Roy did that shit. And his atonement, his grand ambition, is to see everyone responsible for that shit brought to justice for their crimes. Including himself.

Me: Ah, Anchordeep was so hard to draw... Silk Cradle: ...Hold my beer.

If Anchordeep took my braincells, Silk Cradle took my heart and soul. It was harder to finish this because... I didn't like it when I finished it. However, the good thing is that we can always try again! And it gave me the chance to edit a funnier timelapse. >:)
