Resolved Type

[Talia Napolitano]

Trying my hand once again at making a type! Reasoning behind this is the fact that we don't have a no-release mixed type. Both Kenpachi and Technique Master lean incredibly hard into their gimmicks, with little to no ability to do much of anything outside of that. To help with that, here is Resolved. While not nearly as statistically powerful as either of the aforementioned types, Resolved shines in its versatility, and like other no-release types, a lack of stat cuts. Though, for not having any kind of gimmick, this type doesn't have anything that it shines exceptionally well at, and instead retains Brave-equivalent stats. Naturally Vizard, Hollows, Mod Souls, and Failures cannot take this type. Beast-Clansmen were a bit of an odd-ball to add to this type, but my call with that is due to their release effectively being "extra" regardless, as their major benefit is the stats they're granted. While Brave doesn't inherently "break" with Beast-Clansmen, I've a very strong feeling the same couldn't be said for Resolved, especially with no stat cuts.

Type: Resolved

Description: Against all odds, you have never managed to manifest a release. And yet, despite that fact, you remain stronger for it. Solving conflict through sheer force of will and determination alone, you continue to beat the odds without any personal abilities.

Advantages:

• Rank 1: Select one stat to increase by 50% (100 would be 150). Select an additional stat to increase by 25% (100 would be 125).
• Rank 2: Select one stat to double (100 would be 200). Select an additional stat to increase by 50% (100 would be 150).
• Rank 3: Select one stat to increase by 150% (100 would be 250). Select an additional stat to increase by 75% (100 would be 175).
• Rank 4: Select one stat to triple (100 would be 300). Select an additional stat to double (100 would be 200).

Disadvantages: All Ranks: A Resolved character has no form of release. They are completely incapable of manifesting one, and are unable to take techniques that require them. In addition to this drawback, Resolved characters are required to have a number of points in Strength of Will, equal to their Rank.

Race Restrictions: Available to all Races except; Vizard, Beast-Clansmen, Hollows, Mod Souls, and Failures.

Starting Weapon: None.

I'm going to state for the record that I don't agree with the need for more non-Release types. The reason is that this site and show is built around the concept of the cool powers and abilities that are possessed by individuals to make them stand out. Releases help define a race and make it more visible. This is of course, my opinion, but I will still give a review on the Type regardless of my standing.

The problem with this type is this: it's a weaker Kenpachi or TM. It doesn't hit their statistical amounts, and let's be real: this site is built on OS for characters being a primary point of focus. You won't boost SpPr because you lack a Release, unless you wanted a relatively weak RS to use as your OS to go with it. That means you're either going to do Strength + another stat (likely Speed, Instinct, or Senses) or RS + another stat (likely SpPr). Any other oddball builds, while they can exist, are going to struggle to be viable as much as most of our sensory types are, with the potential for a small OS comparatively but otherwise not up to par with what might be needed at higher-level play. You lose Release, and unlike Kenpachi and TM, you don't gain anything for it. You have lesser stats, no personal power, no increased tech slots, nothing. Techniques built to exploit say, high Senses or high Instinct are a bandaid and a work-around, rather than a solution, and leaves this as one of those Types that people will strongly hesitate to use because they could just use one of the more powerful Types instead.

Also I'm biased, but man people are mean to BCs on Types. Even at maximum power, a tripling would only put their highest OS at 1500, which a number of Rank 4s can meet even with a lower OS cap. Even if they did Strength/Speed a Kenpachi does the same at a Rank lower by getting a 100 SP boost to each of their physicals to match. Stop discriminating against my fuzzies! >w<

Thoughts have been taken into consideration, and a new proposal has been made~! Lemme know whatcha think 'v'

Personally I'm super hesitant on the ability to switch out defensive Skills. I would strongly advise instead that the type has some additional SKP (up to a maximum of 3), that can be used on said Skills, similarly to the Cunning Type.

Fixed!

I get what you're going for with this, but it seems a tad bland. The stat boosts are respectable, as are the free skill points, but this doesn't seem to stand out for anything other than having no release. That's not to say people wouldn't take it, but I would like something extra, to have it be its own thing.
