Ah. See, I had a feeling it would insight absolute loyalty to a specific god. As Kousa follows the element of fire, I had planned on giving him some of connection to the unprecedented gods of the craft -- thus is why I had came to the idea of a regalia. Though, as far as I'm concerned, I'm just trying to achieve a higher echelon for Kousa. The idea of drawing power from a different source as a means to power up is still something I want to pursue. After so many years of Dragon Ball Z, I just can't come to having a character's current disposition they're pinnacle -- I don't like the idea of their base form holding all the power, and they just have to choose when to use it all.

Also, that sounds like a good idea -- picking it back up this week. For now, I'd like to divert the course of it, if you don't mind. Shinuchi is a fantastic goal, but I don't want Kousa to just burst into it straight from base. Like Goku and Vegeta, I don't want Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan to be their only echelon of power -- there has to be an in between. So, I'd like to focus more on the craft, and the initial practice of such a skill (leaving Kousa to eventually lead himself to it). I don't know if I made that clear prior to our agreement, but this is essentially what I meant during the initial proposal.
 * My biggest problem with combat RP is expressing the craft of my character. As you can tell with my fights with Brave, I'm flimsy when it comes to describing actions based around a specific Zankensoki. Kido is simple, as I can simply just describe the process and final product. Though, I struggle to insight incentive and trickery (I'm not able to fire a generic Kido blast, but insinuate that it is laced with other effects). I'm especially bad when it comes to Hakuda -- I can't lay out more than one generic attack. What if my initial attack fails, what becomes of the follow up? Is it removed from the storyline, ignored? I honestly do not know. When you offered to have Kousa and Minato spar, this was my initial goal -- finding out how to exactly word and execute the knowledge I gain through other articles and the like.

Through this Relight, I hope to learn how to fully work on my offensive prowess as a writer. My characters can have the most Raw Potential, and straight forward attacks known to man. If I can't successfully write their offensive maneuvers, and fight as aggressive as I make them out to be (hopefully leading to an obvious win / loss), I see no point in combat RP. Do you understand what I'm saying?
 * I bring this up now, because I looked over Kousa's bout with Botan -- realizing that I wasn't even close, as a writer, to insight a challenge. I need work on this, and I do hope you have some advice or assistance to impart.
