After the defeat of King Lordgenome long ago, and then the defeat of the Anti-spiral race, team Dai-Gurren faces its final challenge as the Spiral Nemesis comes closer and closer each passing day. For long have humans utilized spiral energy to conquer the impossible and evade the slimmest of possibilities, but can they truly defeat fate itself? But while the spotlight is centered on team Dai-Gurren, another small one begins to shine on a group of people collecting into the future, a small group that may very well change the very fate of the Spiral Universe.

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Want to join? Fill out the sheet. Before you instantly copy-paste the sheet into your post, check the spoilers below first.

Name: Obvious.

Age: Again, obvious.

Description: A physical description, some background story, and personality description all rolled into one.

Stats: 80
VITALITY: Your vitality. 3 HP for every point in this stat.
SPEED: How fast you are. Used for dodging, and running (usually away).
SKILL: Your accuracy and timing. Out of combat, it's used for crafting if the situation is right.
STRENGTH: How good you are at dealing physical damage. It also determines how strong you are.
SPIRIT: How adept you are at manipulating spiral energy, and determines your FIGHTING SPIRIT!
DEFENSE: Your resistance to physical attacks.
RESISTANCE: Your resistance to magical attacks.

Equipment: What physical weapons and armor you have. See the equipment spoiler for information.

Ability: Anything that you might be able to do with spiral energy.

Spoiler: Stats (click to show/hide)

In this stat-system, the stats a completely average human would have are set to 8. This is for reference when stating your own character, but also combat encounters. There are 7 stats in the system, meaning a perfectly average human has a pool of 56 points. The pool of starting stats is 80. To clarify, all rolled dice depend on the skill. If you have 7 strength, you roll a d7

Depending on which stat on a character is the highest, he gains a perk based on that stat. This serves to further differentiate characters from each other, but needs a bit of review regarding how powerful the perks are. Of course, you can suggest own perks. If two stats are the same level, pick one.


VITALITY:
This stat represents your vitality. It grants you 3 hitpoints per point in this stat, and also dictates your rate of regen. Any regen phase, which is usually a good nights sleep, or simply whenever the GM acknowledges that you have time to regenerate health, you regen twice your health stat. That means if you were close to death, you'd need about 3 days of rest to be back to full. Not realistic, because this is a game and all, but also not so miraculously quick that grave wounds are without consequence - you may stumble into the next encounter with less than optimal health if you do not watch out. Professional medical care can boost the regen to 3 times your health stat. And I mean professional, making sense with the caretaking chars background. Just bandaids and clumsily applied bandages with a bit of antiseptic salve is nice and all, but will only do something if the GM in question feels generous. More on this stat below under Combat.

SPEED:
How fast you are. This stat is used for dodging, but also for chases and of course when the GM feels now is an appropriate time to use it. When you are dodging multiple enemies in succession, you gain a penalty of -1 on each successive dodge. This penalty resets between hits. Dodging AoE attacks get's a penalty of -2 per size category.

SKILL:
How good you are at aiming, timing your attacks or going for blindspots. This is also the skill that is used to roll on for mundane skills, like crafting and whatever else, if the GM feels it is appropriate. Also affects your ability to pilot Gunmen.
Add a .5% chance to crit with each point in SKILL you have, and write the percentage next to it in brackets. Crits only apply to physical attacks, and deal double damage.

STRENGTH:
Determines your pure physical strength and how much physical damage you're capable of dealing. Note, this does not necessarly have to mean you are incredibly buff. If you want to deal tons of damage and still play something that is frail and not muscular at all, this is roleplay - feel free to roll strength checks for lifting the huge boulders badly on purpose.

DEFENSE:
Determines your resistance to physical damage and how hard you can be hit without going down.

SPIRIT:
Determines your fighting spirit and your capacity to utilize spiral energies. Your fighting spirit scales with spiral energy and raises as situations get tougher and when you are pushed to your limits. Your spirit capacity is the maximum amount of spiral energy you can hold, and equals to your SPIRIT + RESISTANCE.

RESISTANCE:
Determines your resistance to spiral or anti-spiral energies.

Spoiler: Combat (click to show/hide)

Combat initiative is determined by the speed stat. When you attack someone, you roll skill vs the targets speed, if you rolled higher, you hit. Damage is calculated by you rolling strength+(weapon, more on that later), vs the enemies defence (+possible extra armor). Simple.

Should someones health fall to 0, that character is unconscious, probably heavily bleeding. His allies now have [health] turns time to perform any sort of CPR or live saving measures on him. This takes no roll, however while doing so, you are an easy target, and prone to interruption. Should health fall below 0, you have that much less turns to save the wounded allies live. Whether he was saved or not, that character is out of combat.

Spoiler: Equipment (click to show/hide)

Items are a primary aspect of both battle and piece, and thus are used to inflict physical damage. For melee weapons, STR is added to your roll along with any type of damage modifier.

Unarmed: no bonus.
Normal: +3, your everyday weapon that is really nothing special. A PC could likely make or acquire such a weapon with no problems whatsoever
Good: +5, a weapon that has received some fine tuning, or is in other ways above average. Acquiring these should cost money, which should be finite or proper skill in weapon making, that is not only your skill stat must be high; it should also fall in line with your background.
High quality: +7, these are usually rare, and probably won't be found in a store, but more in the grave treasures of some ancient warrior or whatnot. Characters are unlikely to be able to make these easily.
Masterwork: +9, does not get better than this. A character should have real trouble getting his hands on one of these babies.

One time use: Explosives etc, that you can only carry a very finite amount with you deal between +5 (for grenades, added AoE), to +10 (RPG) damage.

More powerful weapons such as Gunmen parts exist, and can deal significantly more damage.
Armor negates a set amount of damage, and heavier armor may lower your speed or decrease your skill.

Spoiler: XP and Levels (click to show/hide)

An XP reward is assigned at the end of a campaign, usually an amount between 50 and 150XP. 100XP is required to level up, giving players 4 additional stat points to assign. Additionally, every 5 levels players can take an additional perk.

Spoiler: Gunmen (click to show/hide)

Run with spiral energy or plain electricity, the Gunmen are powerful mechas essential to any operation. In this game, Gunmen provide a massive boost to your stat when piloted. They increase certain stats by a percentage of that stat, and have a total power which equals to the total percentage boosts divided by 10. Your SKILL will be converted to percentage form and divided among the boosts, adding ev26%en more.
Skill additions: 2* SKILL divided among the boosts, turned into a percentage. If you have 20 SKILL and a Gunman boosted 3 stats, then it would add 26% to each boost. SKILL is also used for TNs when piloting a Gunman.
Example below.

Spoiler: Application (click to show/hide)

Name: Buki Rogan

Age: 17

Description: Buki goes to Kittan High, located in the heart of Kamina City. He's usually seen in a silver jacket with a drill on each sleeve, the symbolic flaming skull of Team Dai-Gurren resting on his back. It's his favorite jacket, and he still wears it even though it's patched up all over from accidents and scuffles. He usually wears baggy pants for freedom of movement, and a pair of goggles around his neck, mostly because Simon is one of his idols. He has blue hair, similar to Simon's and gets ribbed about it by his friends on occasion. They even bought him a replica Core Drill, which he wears every day under his shirt. His eyes are a vivid green, and they peek out from under his neck length hair on occasion, if he hasn't styled it that day. His preferred hair style is slicked back spikes, cause it makes him feel like a hero.  He gets into quite a few scuffles, picked on slightly for not being quite as strong as everyone else... until he learned to harness Spiral Power. He's got a ways to go, but he's leagues ahead of his class, something he takes great pride in. He's even learned to make small bullets of Spiral Power at will, and uses them whenever he gets into fights, which happens... pretty often... He's got somewhat of a reputation for being a delinquent in the school system, even though he attends class every day and makes decent grades.

[Dexexe1234]

Actually no, scratch that, Sorry.

[Rolepgeek]

Sure why not.

Stats first, as I'll have to finish later.
Name: Jesse Jameson

Age: 17

Description: Jesse is Jesse. There's not much else to say. Well, I suppose we could mention that she's a bit taller than you. And by 'a bit', we mean she's 6'4". And heavier, too, though mentioning that out of context is likely to get you in trouble. She's always had an interest in sports, but she's not exactly butch like you might expect from such a woman. Or rather, girl, given how young she is. She does have a rather heroic spirit, fighting for her friends and the people who can't fight for themselves. Tan skin and bleached hair, kept fairly short, mean the only thing keeping most people from realizing she's a girl is, well...everything, actually. She does have breasts, fairly significant ones actually(though that's less their own size and more her own size), and her features are feminine, and it's not like she dresses like a tomboy (much). Most people find her odd, as she breaks a lot of stereotypes.

Level: 2

Speed: 6
Skill: 9
Strength: 16
Spirit: 14 (11 base+3 CDF)

BITCH.

_{And also a pipe(both kinds; yes, she smokes a pipe), as well as a nice, sturdy jacket her mom gave her, emblazoned with a mirrored J, as her personal emblem.}

Core Drill Fragment - This small glowing green drill is a fragment of the Core Drill, broken when Gimmy was killed attempting a Giga Drill Break against the Nemesis. Its power can be invoked to give automatic success to any roll once per campaign, and can be used to create a Giga Drill Break. +3 SPIRIT per level.
       Giga Drill Break - Finisher move. Uses the rest of the player's SP, and deals bonus damage equal to SP spent *2.5. Automatically hits, but cannot crit. Takes a turn to charge, where they are unable to dodge incoming attacks. Once you finish charging it and are attacking your target, you cannot cancel your attack.


Ability: Two Three main things; Spirit Break, Second Wind, and Bloody Battle. Spirit Break allows Jesse to add her Spirit as a bonus to one other stat for a short time, allowing her to accomplish grand feats of physical excellence. Second Wind allows her to make a come back in battle, refreshing some of her fatigue and gaining a relative bonus to those who've gotten tired by that point, as she remembers what she's fighting for; she has to have lost a least a bit of health for this to be successful, around 1/3. Bloody Battle requires her to have lost quite a bit more health, about 2/3, and gives her a huge surge of adrenaline as she goes effectively into an 'overdrive' or berserk mode, though this can't be sustained forever and can be dangerous if it goes on for very long.

PERK: Hit Them Harder: Jesse takes 2 less damage from all physical attacks, and deals +1 damage on her attacks next turn for every point of damage prevented this way.

[FelixSparks]

I posted mine, I hope the ability is alright. I can change it if needed.

Description: A mysterious, blue-haired lad with a butterfly mask who showed up on the border of Kamina City one day with the strange blade he always kept next to him.

Ability: Spiral Boost: Increases Ao's SKILL and SPEED to blinding levels (read: multiplies the stats by 2) and the blade he wields seems to sharpen even more when in the presence of Spiral Power.
Magnificent Blade: A seemingly ancient sword technique that allows Ao's hit to strike twice using a boost of Spiral Power. The first hit heals Ao for a small percentage of the damage, the second strike ignores part of the enemy's armor.
