Cost Summary:Base Points:200Disadvantage Points: 150Experience Required: 61Total Experience Available: 61Total Character Cost: 411Height: 5' 4"Hair: RedWeight: 106 lbsEyes: GreenAppearance: Red hair, green eyes, a stylized Vector Cheif Uniform (female version). She wears her hair in braids and generally wears glasses. Her Side Arm is a large red metallic device that looks to weigh easily 30 or 40 lbs. However, it has a special gyroscopic and gravity balance system that allos Shion to utilize it as if it were weightless. Personality: A dedicated research scientist. She seems far more concerned for KOS-MOS as an individual being rather than as a weapon. She is a decent person, but stubborn and often so engrossed in her work that she ignores all elseQuote:Open Ether Circuit!Background: Shion Uzuki is the main character of Xenosaga. She is the Chief Engineer of the KOS-MOS project funded by Vector on-board the Woglinde. She is part of the elite First Division of R & D for Vector. Though a skilled scientist, Shion longs to be part of the less prestigious Third Division team. She currently is testing KOS-MOS in the Encephalon preparing KOS-MOS for a field test. One of Xenogears main characters was named Citan Uzuki. No one knows for certain if any correlation between the two exists, though many have said it's just a coincidence. I suppose we won't know for awhile.

Powers/Tactics: Using a Special Side arm designed by her friend Miyuki, Shionis far from helpless. She also has "Ether Magic" circuits that allow her to use certain spell effects. Her "Side Arm" is a big heavy thing that goes on her left arm. It is sturdy (she can use it to block & bash) and serves as a focus to her rapidly increasing Ether capabilities.Campaign Use: A techno-wizard type. She is a brilliant research scientist and as the game progresses becomes quite the combatant. I have used most of her "Magic" and special Attacks. I have given her a few items and the holographic computer implant as well. For a tougher SHion give her a small VPP for her technomany "spells" or high tech items. She could use a few more defensive abilities. Iif she's too tough. Drop some of her Offensive magic (the "Side Arm" focused effects) Also she probably should be given more contacts, possibly some social skills, but she doesn't really display those, she's a classic "nerd" trying to save the universe.

Been a couple of month since I played the Game, but at a glance it looks good. The only thing I would do different is list only a few of her special attacks under Ether Circuit Magic and then just list the rest somewhere as add ons. This would allow any one playing her a chance to build her to what she was at the end of the game instead of beginning with her that strong (and give them a guide for it)

Yeah, that's probably best. I was originally going to just give her the Spell Ray, Medicate, and Fire Cracker.

But I wanted to get the other abilities down. Probably could make them Prefabs on HD and then add them as the character grows in experience.
