Tsubaki | Level 1

[PandaMattMatt]

Tsubaki

椿
:~: Level 1 :~:

 

During a storm within the confines of Ebon Jiin, Tsubaki's siblings were all swept away by flood of rain within the wildflower paradise. As she hatched, the only mantis to do so, survived by clinging to a camellia blossom. After the storm had passed, she was found, still clinging to life on the same camellia and was given the name Tsubaki. Tsubaki honors what it means to be alive. Because of this, she uses her abilities to protect not only her own kind, but also the Hanamajo clan. Easily the size of her summoner, Tsubaki stands about five feet tall and six feet long. Her large scythe like appendages are tipped with a gentle blush of red. Her large pale green eyes blend into her pale body.

Skills Approved Here, Here, and Here

 

Weapon is simple, the only special thing about it is it can't be unequipped, but can still be destroyed. I mean, it's a mantis... Soooo.... why would it need a set-up phase to equip it? And you can't really knock a Manti's arm out of it's.... arm? But it can still be destroyed, so, it really doesn't affect any battle styles.

[Peregine]

I've got 29/30 JP used but if that's not a problem I approve this.

[PandaMattMatt]

Oh daaaang. My bad. Yeah, 29/30 is fine with me

[Peregine]

Approved all official-like.

[Hardcore Skittlez]

Approved

[Hardcore Skittlez]

Only needs two apps now, moving.

[PandaMattMatt]

I have no idea when this was pulled back, but I'm kind of glad it was. I updated the weapon on this summon to be in line with the new summon rules of getting money instead of a weapon at a specific level. Everything else is still valid and approved. The links in the design notes are still up to date. So, now this is ready for another set of reviews. <3

Oh, I did change all the font to century gothic. Tony and KC brainwashed me.

[Peregine]

Approved.

[almondsAndRain]

Mantis Blade

Level 12 Medium Weapon: 両360

Bleeding Weapon; 1: 両50

Dual Strength: 両50

Total: 両460.

I think this price was fine prior to 9.0, but that update flattened the prices out to 30 per level for medium weapons. Fix that, and this is good to go!

[PandaMattMatt]

Brought weapon level down to 10, should be exactly $400 now.

[almondsAndRain]

It all checks out now. Approved.
