Axcel was kind enough to include an MP3 player for our beautiful mini-profiles, but they need links to MP3s in order to function.

Some of you may already know about this website, but a great resource for finding MP3s online is the website MP3 Skull!

Getting the code is simple and easy. You type in whatever song you're looking for and click the play button to make sure it's still functional. If it is, right click the "Download" link and simply copy the link address.

That link is what you'll put in your .MP3 field (User CP > Edit Profile > Personal).

It's that easy! Now add some beautiful music to your profiles~!

Link your old bio somewhere and show that this is a scrapvamp and you're golden.

Sorry for digging this out of the grave, but are we ever going to point out (and correct) the obvious fact that people are becoming medics specifically for the stat boosts and extra cushion?

I won't call anyone out in particular but a lot of the "medics" we have here, conceptually, couldn't be anything further than. They just have medic techs, the medic boosts, and hulk hands stacked onto their characters.

There needs to be a higher tax on the profession all together, not a permission but something that balances the character. You take medic and it fills an elemental slot, better yet a clan slot (and purchasing Medic as a clan member requires you to purchase the Clan EXP Shop bonus).

Each mastery you get in medicine (and souin) fills another of your character's occupied slots. Souin masteries should cost toward the overall 6.

Just throwing out ideas, take them as you will, but it needs to be fixed so we have actual medics.

These look a lot better! The simplified versions keep them balanced and make them more appealing. Great work, homie. The only thing left to do (aside from optional grammatical fixes) is to quantify certain aspects involving their abilities.

Hihaimushi (Burning Ash Insects)
It is said that these insects are flame given life. They are smaller than any other Tokaichuu variant currently known, and resemble small floating embers, that dance and hover while they await their masters orders. In combat, they are a purely destructive force, who fly forth and seek out their targets hoping to swarm and encircle them. Upon contact, these insects begin to burn and melt any material around them. Emitting such high levels of heat that a mere 200 of them upon a limb or appendage would be enough to completely cover it in 1st degree burns which only increases in severity as long as they are attached. (2nd degree burns would develop around 2 turns, and 3rd degree at 3 turns)

Note: When used in tandem with Kikaichuu techniques, the Hihaimushi will seek to burn and melt away flesh, as opposed to eating away the opponents chakra. The intensity of their generated flame and heat can be increased with the correctly associated Katon masteries ( At best, melting steel, and lowering the amount of turns before 2nd and 3rd degree burns by 1.)

What masteries are necessary? It should be more than Tier 1 considering the effects, although I recommend nixing this entirely (others may disagree so take this with a grain of salt)

Also, you state that 200 are capable of leaving first degree burns on contact. Does that imply that 600 would leave 3rd degree burns in one turn? That's a game changer if so; it gives them one-shot killing potential if used in higher numbers (and with the associated masteries)

Shinkuu no Mushi (Insects of the Vacuum)
These small, horsefly sized insects, are perhaps the most versatile of all Tokaichuu. Breed for pure support, the Shinkuu no Mushi have very little offensive capability at all. Though this is not to say they do not have a place on the battle field. Feasting on the Wind natured chakra of their owner for so long, has given these insects a natural affinity for flight, and air control. All Shinkuu no Mushi can coat themselves in razor sharp chakra and buzz about their target, ripping, and slashing at high speeds.

Note: When used in tandem with kikiachuu techniques the insects will hunt down their prey and take on the cutting power of wind, slashing and berating their target with multiple cuts.

Your wording still loans toward the original concept you had for them. They are, by now, purely bred for their offensive capability (lol).

That aside, this bug isn't described in terms of number-to-effect. That could be intentional, but the amount and kind of damage they do has to be scaled somehow. I recommend using the format you've already used, stating how much they do at 200 and describing what effect takes place as their numbers increase.

Suitoba no Mushi (Water Skipper Insects)

Same as above and with the Fire Bug technique. If 200 are the minimum for any affect, does maximum potential increase when those numbers are increased? Do 600 cause the 3rd turn effect to happen in 1 turn?

Raikonchuu (Lightning Bugs)

Same as above and with the Fire Bug technique. If 200 are the minimum for any affect, does maximum potential increase when those numbers are increased? Do 600 cause the 3rd turn effect to happen in 1 turn?

Overall I think these look way better than they did before. All they need now is some fine tuning. My recommendation for what I'm asking (if you even choose to implement them) would be to list a breakdown of what X number of bugs does over X amount of turns.

Something akin to this:

200 Hihaimushi: 1st degree burns in 1 turn. 2nd degree in 2 turns. 3rd degree in 3 turns.
400 Hihaimushi: 1st degree burns on contact. 2nd degree in 1 turn. 3rd degree in 2 turns.
600 Hihaimushi: 2nd degree burns on contact. 3rd degree in 1 turn.
800+ Hihaimushi: 3rd degree burns contact.

This depends on whether an increase in numbers changes their effect at all, if not don't worry about,
