While we wait for the Shogun results, I looked in the Extra section of the EO3 artbook, and felt that everyone should witness the majesty of this panel from a comic in that section:



I don't know what's better, the complete contrast in style between the War Magus and Gunner, the ice cream with a snowman face on top of the War Magus's staff, or the fact that Gunners apparently consider just taking off their jackets swimwear

Name: Hamua
Portrait: Alternate 3

History: A well traveled explorer from cross the world, the man in front of you has seen things that would make lesser mortals vomit in terror, wet themselves in fear...And, most importantly...BLEED FOR HIM. *ahem* This man has seen many things before deciding to work for the Senatus and more or less settling in Armorad as one of their Shogun, working up from being a "Ronin" of another side of the world. Thing is, his work for them became...dull. Boring. And most importantly...not getting him as much blood to drink that he would normally have when roaming across the world. Nobody is sure WHERE this lust for blood came from. Though there -always- seems to be this 'glint' in his eyes, as if sizing one up for a meal. Either way, joining with the explorers that took care of the Gatekeeper, hanging what looks to be a golden chalice from his belt, and looking for powerful foes to drain the blood from and drink for more power.

Assuming no one else comes in with a submission, I might toss up a vote eventually. Kind of having a hard time deciding which one I want to go with, and may throw up a poll of the choices I've narrowed it down to later on.

The obvious answer is to just have Kujura join our party as the Shogun representative to disregard all democracy.

On a serious note, the Gatekeeper looks cool as heck and I think it's a shame that the Recurring Giant Robot role goes to Golem, who does not look as cool.

Okay, it doesn't look like there are gonna be any more Shogun submissions, so CHARACTER SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED! It was pretty hard to pick the one I liked the most, but I decided that character that's making it in is:

alcharagia posted:

Name: Muneshige
Portrait: Normal 1

Formerly a mildly popular cover artist of 80's rock ballads with a prospensity for swordplay, Muneshige's life took a drastic twist when his arm was replaced after a near-death run-in-

Oh, why don't I let the man himself tell you about it?

"God or demon, what am I?
It's time for me to choose my path.
The power of my Blood Lance
no evil-doer will get past.

Sword to blade or hilt to fist,
Myouj'your nuts or twist your wrist.
The moon makes Magatoki strong
so trust me or you won't last very long.

Fusillade your rear end into the Milky Way! (MILKY WAY!)
Don't act like you don't like the Blitz Command! (BLITZ COMMAND!)
My arm, my arm, my arm, my arm, my arm, my arm
I summon up the powers of the Blood Lance!

Lost a limb in a fight,
but don't worry, babe, I'll be cool.
The power to Endure by a thread
is now my secret tool.

Rear Dignity is impregnable,
Fore Honor is impetuous.
If it's too much I'll beat a quick Retreat,
I'll loose Kaishaku when you feel the heat!

Can't bind me 'cause my Spirit's Unified! (UNIFIED!)
Apocalyptic beatdowns from the Blood Lance! (BLOOD LANCE!)
My arm, my arm, my arm, my arm, my arm, my arm
I summon up the powers of the Blood Lance!

Daifuhensha! Ambush Stance!
Who's next? Don't be a fool.
Hyperactive Two-Sword style,
so slick it will make FOEs drool.

The Blood Lance helps me work out my stress;
it's overpowering I must confess.
The only person who it doesn't work on
is that girl I really want to date, the MEGAQUEEN!

Slicing through thugs with my 5-Ring! (5-RING!)
More beheading than a guillotine, Warrior Might! (WARRIOR MIGHT!)
My arm, my arm, my arm, my arm, my arm, my arm
I summon up the powers of the BLOOD LANCE!"

:swoon:

:geno: No.

But-

No.

...Not that one, sorry. Nice reference, though. The winner is...

Shogun:

Ragnar Homsar with Charlotte!

I will mention that RareAcumen's Cassidy and Theantro's Bobsons were also ones I narrowed it down to, but Ragnar Homsar's submission won out in the end.

If nothing else, the honorable mentions prove that there is no need to be discouraged from making submissions because of bandwagons and well written effortposts. Like, my submission was three sentences.

I'm certainly not! So rumors of Alice being able to take fire tiger's heads off by tickling their neck extremely well or Cassandra blocking a golem punch so powerfully its arm shattered into dust that then blinded it won't spread across Armoroad. I wanna see how this newest member of The DK Crew the exploring team plays off everyone!

Also, this is my roadblock and I really need help with the boss of the fourth floor and beyond.

It depends on if you took the Armoroad or Deep City path. If you're on the Deep City path, I can't help you at all. I'm covering what happens on the Armoroad path, so I might be able to help you there.

Also, I have only just noticed that Shogun portraits are not them standing with a fist against their side while their other hand rests on the hilt of their katana but instead that both hands are on a katana hilt.

I had to look at the artbook illustrations to realize that. The sprite versions kind of make the gloves indistinct from the hilts.

How would Fafnir even work in a game without the EO2U Force system?
