I'll spend a little bit of time here displaying Genji's stats I guess? I don't really know how to bring it up in the 2nd chapter but it is necessary.
Genji Shimada
age: 35
Physical Prowess: Much stronger faster and overall more effective than any human or elf. (As a cyborg should be) A very good swordsman and ninja (duh) and I'll say a good hand to hand combatant. As far as hand to hand combat goes he'll likely be a point style fighter with good boxing and let's throw in some basic wrestling and jiu jitsu skill. (Reference fighters would be Sage Northcutt, Rose Namajunas, and DEFINITELY Stephen Thompson. They all have the bladed point style fighting stance.) Have I mentioned I'm a huge fight fan.
Mental State Personality: At Peace with being a cyborg. Now Genji is a difficult nut to crack personality-wise but this is what I think. Genji is very intelligent, His intelligence makes him a good problem solver and he can figure things out relatively quickly. He's also pretty ok with witty comebacks nowhere near someone like spiderman but he's pretty alright. Around people he cares about he's playful and humourous and around people he doesn't care for he'll distance himself from them. Genji in this scenario will be very easily annoyed and angered at the inequality and injustice of the ZnT world.
Power Level?: Genji will very much be more powerful than any commoner and most mages but will not be invulnerable by any stretch. Going for a glass cannon type build.
Potential Weaknesses: I'd say lightning for one, High levels of blunt force (like the Doomfist cinematic the only equivalent I could think of would be an attack from say a Warhammer), He'll be bullet-resistant but not bulletproof. The flintlock guns in this world likely won't do much at first maybe some dents at first but it could build up to bad level if he was hit by a firing line or a cannon.
Resistances: Most physical attacks will pretty much be useless like a punch or a kick. (An exception, however, would be something like a Warhammer because that would be enough to actually do damage Water (I swear if Genji doesn't canonically have watertight seals on his body I'm gonna be hella triggered) Heat and cold (He's gotta have temperature regulation for the parts of him that are still human right? right?!) Bladed Weapons (He's made of metal. Blades don't do well against metal...just saying)
Special abilities: Dragonblade will be more like the cinematic trailer where soba (el dragon-o) remains at genji's side. I think it would be cool if Soba could attack with Genji like an attack dog but a neon dragon instead. Swift Strike is a given. The smokescreen from the cinematic. If you can think of stuff to add to this list please do I feel like I'm missing so much and I'm TrIGgErReD! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
As always criticism is welcome and in all honesty needed
("Genji's thoughts")
-Start
As the two of us walked the halls of this medieval castle the girl wasn't very angry. Her formerly balled fists were now open, her jaw and the muscles in her body that were once tensed up were loosened, although I could tell she was still not in the best state of mind, She seemed... troubled. Her breathing was long slow and deep. It was as if she had given up out of frustration but at the same time tried to hide it. ("Maybe I can lighten the mood while also offering some comfort. someone this hurt needs help.") I waited until we had reached a hall with no people before I spoke
"You're good at masking your emotions. Indeed for some it is a good way to cope"
The girl was silent but she tensed up again ("She's annoyed when I talk but she won't open up through me being silent")
"Although it's not a method I would recommend. In all my years of adventuring, I met many strong leaders and valiant warriors held back by their tempers. For exam... Actually such stories are meaningless we should focus on our destination." There was a long silence between us we continued to walk although her breathing was more regular, she was calming down ("Hopefully she will take the bait.")
"Like who?"
("Yes!")
"Hmm, where to start? Ah! I once knew a man named Genji and he told me stories of his youth. He was a lively soul, to say the least. He played games with friends shirked his responsibilities and often pulled jokes on those around him. Despite his appearance when I met him he was a member of a powerful family with deep-rooted connections to many important people. Given his family's reputation and his uninterest in their operations, he was attacked and left for dead by his own kin, but he survived and was given a fantastical power but most saw it as a curse for he was different and branded as evil." The girl stopped at a door and opened it. It was her room as we walked in I stopped my storytelling
"Ah, I assume this is where we have been going well perhaps it would be best to rest for now."
"Finish the story." she spoke softly but looked at me intrigued.
"Alright then. Well as time passed he began believing those around him those who branded him as evil and began to see his new power as a burden that made him less than human. He hurt the few people around him that cared for his well-being and was alone, but one man found Genji in his darkest time and through compassion understanding and guidance was able to help him cope with his new life and for the first time in years Genji was at peace with himself. He was a new man, He was whole. With his new power, he righted the wrongs he had done during his grief stopped entire crime organizations and did everything in his power to put his newfound power to good use."
"Where is he now?"
"Well... He's right in front of you. We haven't been properly introduced My name is Genji.
-End
So yeah this is chapter 2 as I said in the previous chapter criticism is welcome and in all honesty needed. I have no clue if the characters I have portrayed are correct and in character. Especially Genji So please send reviews of critic my way or tell me that I'm doing fine because I'm in a state of perpetual fear of "Am I portraying them right. Are they too x? are they too y? AGGGGHHHHH BRAIN HURT"
Y'all have a good one! BAI!
