Talk:Douglas Merle Randall/@comment-28425055-20170324074428

Alright, so it took me a long while before I got back to editing Douglas. To whomever I had slighted when I was in one of my worse moods, I am sorry for blowing up on you like a petulant child. I was never known for my patience, and I overthought too many things, which led me to assume the worst in responses.

Anyways, the reason why I am writing this is: I have just rewrote my character's Profile based on the helpful pointers from both the Mods and the long-time user here. Back then, I was too stubborn to accept that my "absolutely awesome idea" (sarcasm) had led to Douglas's rejection. After a month or two of thinking, I had come to the conclusion that if I had left him be like that, he WOULD be too broken to use, as he will be way too versatile. Thus, I reduced the amount of Dust to a more manageable amount, namely 7, which features the 4 classical elements (Fire, Wind, Earth, and Lightning), and 3 not so classical elements (Ice, Steam, and Gravity).

I also gave Douglas a Hunter's Knife. It cannot use Dust like its older brother, the Arc, but works great as an emergency weapon when he lost the Arc.

As for the Semblance, he now have the hard limit of one minute per use, along with expending a portion of his Aura in order to "fuel" the invisibility. This, coupled with his being a glass cannon, means that if he was found, it is pretty much game over for him. Post-Time Skip, he can expend 75% less Aura to fuel his own invisibility, or expend the original amount of Aura to grant the effect to a few of his allies in a 2 meters radius, whilst stunning hostiles via a smoke blast, akin to a smoke bomb.

With that said, I want to re-enter into the Pending Character and await the judgement of the Moderators. Hopefully, this satisfy both the reason for Douglas's rejection by the Mod Team.
