I'm glad that you don't have a problem with the first name, because that's the one thing that I've been most worried about since I first realized the fannon has such strong rulings on the CNR!

The nickname was an inside joke, I should mention that I've been making this character for the past.. well, almost a year now, alongside three of my best friends. We have a lot of fun with it and because of that there's a high chance that a lot of the things we do with our characters end up being completely ridiculous, but they often end up sticking to the characters in some way, shape, or form, just as a reminder of the fun times. Otherwise, it serves no purpose whatsoever than some flavor.

Yeah, you could say he really likes chains. Over time I've come up with a lot of symbolism in many things, from his weapons form to his emblem, to his personality in general. I don't want to go into details with it in the comments but if you'd really like to know feel free to ask and I'll go into more detail.

''The TLDR of it is that the chains represent a few things, mainly involving the concept of being constrained. When he freed himself from his past life, he got out physically, but not necesarilly mentally. A part of him will always be associated with the gang, and that will always be carried with him no matter what is to happen. The chains around his body represent that in a physical sense, keeping him somewhat constrained, and always being there to remind him not only of the past, but his change to the present. There's also some bs background elements I didn't feel like including!''

I do have one problem with your ruling on the weapons. All four of the weapons in contention here are chained-daggers, the only differences between them is slight changes in shape and color, and the type of dust they utilize. I don't like the idea of invoking the existing rules page because it makes me feel like I'm trying to look for outs here, but I suppose in all honesty that's what I am doing. No less, according to the rules, two or more weapons of the same type are considered one weapon, and the examples given are Yang's Gauntlets, Ren's SMG's, and Penny's Swords. If any of these were modified with a different type of dust from the other, they would still be guantlets, smg's, swords, etc., would they not? I anxiously await a response to this, because this would modify the entire set up of the character's fighting style and use of semblance.

Speaking of the semblance; I made a bit of a mistake while explaning it by only refering to the knives in use. The semblance can still be used without them - they can be used with any instrument at all, and as a last resort, even tapping or whistling, but without an instrument to be used with it, it decreases the effectiveness completely. The idea comes from the idea of multiple noise sources causing confusion, just on a much different scale effecting different things. Honestly, it was user error on my explaning there, let me know if there's still a problem with it.

Sparta-like kick? Yeahhh... Spartan* was the correct phrasing there, once more my bad. No less, I just felt like throwing some more things in there for flair, if you'd like me to remove it than I certainly will, once again just let me know!

I'm glad you didn't see any problems with it! It certainly is dark, once again, over the last year or so it's gone through many iterations and I finally settled on one that I liked that also fit in with the rest of our story we're writing... It may be a little bit cliché, but I've done my best to at least avoid it where I could. And on the note of the length, yeah I realize they're a bit long, I was just trying to give reasons for everything I had given so far, while giving enough for everyone to be happy.

Hopefully this clears some things up, I'll change what I think is suitable in the page itself when I get the chance, and for the rest I'll just leave it here in the comments until further notice. I hope this didn't come off as rude in any places, honestly I'm just glad to have gotten a review, so I'm doing my best to adhere to the rules without having to change things too much!
