Talk:Blaez Daemon/@comment-25291880-20140928193131

I like the idea you have for him, but there are a few problems I see in his abilities, weapons, and backstory, as they make him seem like a very Gary Stu type person. 1. For his abilities, Blaez is definitely a Gary Stu, as he displays no real weakness to his fighting skills. He's strong, has a high endurance, and can even sense when his friends are in danger. I'm not saying he doesn't have any weaknesses, but they just aren't listed on the page. In order to create a balanced OC, it's necessary to add a good amount of setbacks, such as maybe his size causes his speed to falter.

2. Weapons. Blaez's weapons are cool, I admit, but you don't explain how he uses them, and I'm directing this mostly at the shields. I was wondering how he got the speakers and how sound waves can properly be used against Grimm, as I infer that some Grimm can take loud noises pretty well.

3. History. Another part of the article that I find a bit overpowered. I highly doubt that a seven year old could handle a sword that well, even if his father trained him. I, for one, know that kids that young of age aren't that strong. I also find it a little weird that an eight year old would go to such lengths to train himself. It just doesn't seem to fit a level of logic, in my opinion, as sleep and food are necessary to be grow into a good fighter, so why would he decline those two important things? A ten year old can't protect AND lead his village singlehandedly, so did he have help along the way? Or did one of his father's partners aid the boy in doing so? These are the types of questions that I had for the main part. I like Blaez's characteristics, but his lack of weaknesses and Gary Stu type history and abilities need to be fixed. With that said, good luck on your OC.
