Alchemist of Atlas

Greetings, everyone, Nep Heart here doing something different yet again. For anyone reading, this is my own attempt at a character review, more specifically one at the request of @Alchemist of Atlas and a sort of return favor of doing one for me in the previous post.  I'm going to keep this (relatively) short and try to put as many thoughts I can about each part of the profile. Also, I'll be focusing entirely on the character herself directly, so, no writing feedback or anything of the sort.
 
 Anyway, let's start.
 
 
 
 I'd make comments on how Atlas' women tend to be tall, but given she's Scandinavian, this actually is surprisingly "normalish" height for her ethnic background.
 
 If you're wondering why horoscopic signs are even listed in this profile as well as nearly all of Atlas' character profiles, they're what determine natural born attributes correspondent to the property bestowed by each sign. It's primarily inspired by one of his most favorite fictional series, a long-running one at that, known as Saint Seiya. Ruling elements operate under a similar logic, but rather function more like guidelines on what a character's power could potentially develop as and grant an affinity where harnessing one's birth element makes self-development become significantly more efficient... in a way, ruling elements remind me of magical Origin from the Nasuverse.
 
 By the way, you'll notice her occupations are likely going to be very prevalent in the remainder of the review, so, I'll skip it on this segment for now. 
 
 
 
 Just so you know, "bright" is a pretty big understatement in context, but otherwise won't be very obvious without actually knowing her achievements. She basically pushes a single country several thousands of years ahead of its time technologically speaking... but you'll find out more of what insanity Joanna is capable of in the segment below. In short, she basically makes the greatest minds of our world look like newborn infants in comparison.
 
 Here, we also have someone who is sarcastic and opinionated, which makes her sound unpleasant at first, but then you learn she practices the Golden Rule; she treats people the way she expects them to treat her. It's obvious that Joanna does not give a damn about imaginary rules that do not benefit her and, frankly, why should she? With all that said, her seemingly negative aspects are more than compensated with one who is loyal, honest and just wants to have fun that make her sound pretty cool to hang out with.
 
 I can actually relate with that and the fact that Joanna's lazy... smarts and talents are such hard work, no wonder I've been delaying some of my own projects!
 
 Overall, science heroes/heroines are some of my favorite character archetypes and Joanna fits it like a glove.
 
 
 
 ... Aaaaand this is exactly what I had in mind when I say "brilliant" is an understatement. Just a cursory glance over Joanna's devices basically tells you that she's like a Time Lord!... only without the time travel focus, but she definitely took cues from Arthur C. Clarke there in that regard.
 
 On a related note, it's interesting that the theme to all of Joanna's powers and inventions make references to Norse Mythology. Well, Joanna is Scandinavian and that is where the mythos derived from after all. I always appreciate those kind of corresponding thematic references like these, it gives an additional layer of depth for the character.
 
 I think it's safe to say that this is one lady you don't want to cross her bad side because she'll be an absolute menace with all this stuff at her arsenal... everyone in Babylon is lucky that Joanna's on their side.
 
 
 The earlier paragraphs of Joanna's backstory would have never made you guess that she ultimately became something she once hated if you didn't read about the other stuff on the character prior. Goes to show people can have a big change of heart if you just expose them to the positivity of what they've once perceived as negative. In Joanna's case, it's quite extreme as she actually became the best at what she once couldn't stand.
 
 Seidr, a reference to Norse Mythology as I pointed out prior, is Alchemia's closest approximation to magic with key differences aside from the typical tradition of the concept and Joanna seems to be almost as good in it as she is with her scientific disciplines. This unintentionally brought her in conflict with the resident traditionalist mage who's opposed of Joanna not only being a a non-magical genius who can use magic competently, but doesn't like the idea of marrying the two ideas because she's obviously jealous and doesn't want to become obsolete. Basically, Joanna spits in the face of the admittedly cliché arcane vs science conflict... refer to Arthur C. Clarke's Third Law.
 
 With this character review done, I hope everyone enjoyed the read.

Amen for that.

Poor little Mio is about to have the adventure of her life >3> And this is just the beginning.

I wouldn't recommend you to put yourself first above everyone. He clearly didn't make the char for only yourself. That speaks about having serious ego problems.
 
Without criticism, there's no evolution in your work.
 
Also, if he practices martial arts or not doesn't make it an excuse to rush his work. People will always criticize because most people expect from the author/artist an improvement of its work. Sure, it's up to him if he wants to improve of not, but he would be committing the same mistakes over and over otherwise.
 
You can tell us we can fix the char if we wanted to, and while that's true, the responsibility always falls into the actual creator instead of the editor.

I must warn you gyus they play on a rather unconventional way. Eli being easier to learn.
 
I should also point out her assist is fully invincible, but she's a grappler (still there's ways to set the assist up).

Chikuchikugonzalez Seifuku Akiha.
I raged hard.

Something me and a group of friends just though of it.

Bison officially works only on Tuesdays.

- What would you recommend and not recommend to a tourist that visits Australia?
 
- Is there a place in your country you like?
 
- Who inspired you in Mugen? (players and/or creators)
 
- Should Karin deserve to be in SFV?
 
- When's the vacation school season in Australia?

Now, if only Aki could relesae Mitsuru and/or Yukiko...

- Haven't met anyone in RL yet.
- There are a few. The people I interact most with would be first place on the list, including you, I'd like to meet a few japanese authors as well.
- The chance your OC's can fight against any other franchise char.
- Not dead. However, it is heavily stagnant.
- I'd say Castlevania franchise and Mario Kart Series.
- Well... there are quite a few. But lack of money. u_u;
- Quite subjective to ask because opinions are diverse. But for me, VG's are going into a better direction.
- Sion, Akiha, Len, Aoko, Senna, Mai, Whip and Elisabeth would be my first choices.
- Quite a difficult question, but I don't think I have a char I'd like to re-write its story, at least not from a VG char.
- Of course. Japan, Australia, New Zealand and USA would be my top 4 priorities.
- I have a very negative opinion about it. Let's leave it there.
- Getting my degree for now.
 
 
- Giant Akiha.

-No. I hardly have any interest on it. Quite ironic because for an almost women only roster, none or almost none of them catch my interest.
 
 
- Actually Ries isn't that high rated, but... Aoko, by far.
 
-Depends, but my mains are Whip, Betty, Malin, Yamazaki, Billy, Mai, Shen.
 
-Personally, I'd prefer scythes, but among those options... swords.
 
-I'd definitely make an MBAACC styled Karin.
 
-it's a bottomless hole.
 
 
- MB set the bar too high, so, it's unlikely.
- Shielding, roll, counter hit, Reverse beat, roman cancel.
- 2D by far.
- Sprites over 3D design. Just remember man... 2000's decade MK with their women having manfaces.
- Closest would be platforms, and a VERY few select RPG's, then sports.
- Well, fried chicken not made by KFC, pizza, italian pasta, soda, citric juices.
- Hard to decide, mostly cartoons.
- MIB.
- I'd include my own OC's if I could sprite. And mostly they'd take elements from MB, KOF and MK.

BrazilMugenTeam and PaoDeMugen are BRAZILIAN communities where they speak PORTUGUESE, not spanish.

My toughest challenge so far.
 

Trust me. They're far from accurate.

TOO BAD IT SUCKS LOL

Let me just throw in a few more things.

- It should be obvious, but I'll say it anyway. The big reason for the stupid infinites regarding pushing a button while holding forward are due to the ridiculous amount of frame advantage she gets on hit (+21 on heavy). She gets a ridiculous frame advantage on block as well, but she's pushed back a lot when her attack is blocked which prevents her from doing a blockstun infinite.
- I don't know why you would even bother with her supers(excluding stupid infinite). The damage they do is so laughably pathetic you might as well ignore that she even has them. The special variant of Super 1 only does 2 damage less than the actual super so might as well use that for free instead of using meter.
- The damage scaling kicks in so late and is so minimal, it might as well be non-existent.
- And the kicker to all this? All of her attacks have infinite priority in them.

Was any care taken into account to this? There's so many things wrong with this, that I believe this was just made to be a "me-first" character with PotS styled tacked onto it because "OMG PotS STYLE IS BEST STYLE".

Sadly, when people say something bad, but with actual reasons of why it is bad, they take it like trolling or "bashing". That last line he said... *looks at the gamers who make a living from THAT exactly* Videogames weren't, haven't and won't ever be a waste of time.

For those who don't know me, I'm Alchemist of Atlas. AKA, the guy who has MB on its veins. <.< Nice to meet you.
