Stat/Skill Exercise

[Kento Waffles]

So, here's a fun little exercise for all of you to try. Build some stats and skills for yourself. I don't mean a character. I mean literally yourself. As in you. The real, physically existing you. The player behind the computer. I just think it's fun to try to consider what our stats would be like. And realistically, I mean. As in, not you with 1600 SP class 1 rank 4. I mean you with no Type, and SP ranging from 280 (minimum) to potentially 550 or 600 (maximum possible). Then you can explain why you statted and skilled yourself as you are.

For spirituals, think of it this way. Spiritual Pressure would translate to endurance of mind and body. Reiatsu strength would translate to strength of personality. Energy sensory would translate to social intuitiveness and how well you read other people.

REMEMBER, this is REALISTIC! 50 in any stat indicates that you are AVERAGE, and it scales rather exponentially, with 100 in a physical indicating the ability level of an Olympic athlete. So, ultimately, be HONEST. I find it unlikely that many of you can claim anywhere near 100 in any stat, and I want this exercise to be fun, but realistic, so I'm gonna call BS on you if I think you're overestimating yourself. For skills, you should not have 21 SKP, unless you think you're done growing as a person. You don't even need to use all 15. Use up however many you think you've gotten toward. And remember, it is EXTREMELY UNLIKELY that you have a bunch of 3s. Most of you might not even have ONE 3 in any skill, as this indicates a supreme mastery of the skill. And it is IMPOSSIBLE to have any 4s, as this requires SEVERAL LIFETIMES of practice in the skill. So, have fun, but be realistic! I'll be posting my own stuff as an example in a reply to this.

Reasoning - I'm a pretty proficient athlete. While I'm not exactly as fast as an Olympian, or anywhere near the level of strength as one, I'm still very fast and very strong. I have the sort of speed and agility that is the real life equivalent of "He's fast...!" from anime, and the type of strength that can be quite astounding to some people. How do I know this? My athletic activities. In nearly all of my athletic activities, I am the fastest presence. Swimming, MMA, basketball, fencing, Kendo. In all of these, I am faster than all my opponents and teammates. And recall that I'm training to go pro in MMA, and am already an amateur fighter, which is significantly above the average, and I regularly train with people who are ALREADY pros, and I am still faster than they are. I only know two people faster than me in my five athletics. As for strength, I can tell I'm strong not only by the number of athletics I engage in, but the sheer amount I work out. Anyone who knows me can tell you how much I work out. Two hours cardio and legs in the morning, two hours lifting in the evening. And, I can cause serious hurt to professional level UFC fighters when I punch them, including guys much bigger than myself. I know this from the experience of punching UFC fighters in the face, and their telling me that they hate when I punch them. So, overall, I think all of this justifies my strength and speed.

Now, spiritual pressure deserves its own justification. But it's short. I just have immense endurance. Like, I'm serious. I'm fast and strong, sure, but endurance is my top trait. How else could I survive playing all my sports AND still working out twice a day? I literally swim several miles every morning, and I'm fine when I get out of the pool. And, if that wasn't enough, my MMA training has given me huge endurance. Put it this way. If you know anything about fighting, you know that a three minute round is already killer, let alone five. But, in my dojo, it's habitual for us to occasionally throw someone in the middle of the cage and have them fight EVERYONE for a single five minute round each. Nonstop. Consecutively. And I can do that. Plus I've done a triathlon and am currently about to do a marathon in college as well as the Spartan Race (13 hour heavy duty obstacle course). In all my sports, my greatest trait is this endurance of mine. Even when everyone is utterly exhausted, I'm still pushing out my energy as if I'm at the top of my form. That's why I think my endurance is worth a 100. I can out endurance some UFC fighters. That's not something just anyone can say, in my opinion at least.

Anyway, reiatsu strength. I have a strong personality. Anyone can agree that I can be domineering sometimes, and it isn't rare for me to do so. Otherwise, though, my personality can give way to reason from someone else, and I have a side that can back down. And there are personalities capable of overpowering mine, though I'll admit that's fairly rare. Still, I can be made to change my position if I find your argument super valid. So, I think though my personality is strong, it's not unreasonably strong. Senses, I know I have above average senses because of my athletics, but I know I'm not terribly observant sometimes, so they aren't anything out of the ordinary. My instinct is pretty high from all my sports too. As for energy sensory, well, anyone who knows me knows that I am pretty perceptive when it comes to reading people, and you guys know that I'm not terrible at talking to people and being friendly. That takes some intuition and practice. So, ultimately, I think this justifies my stats. As for HE, well... You know. I can use a first aid kit. Otherwise ask someone else for your healing.

Charisma/Leadership [2]

Total SKP: 15

Reasoning - I think it's obvious why my MMA got a 2. I'm training to go pro. Physically, I can keep up with the pros. But, in terms of skill and technique, I fall short of the pros for the moment. Hence being in the amateur circuit right now. As for swords... Well, I am the Kendo AND Fencing Captain at my school. that says something about my swordplay, which of course could use some improvement. I'm hardly a master. I'm just decent. Battle analysis I'm no master of combat, but I'm proficient because most of my sports involve some form of combat, and my main sport is literally combat. Sports I have a 2 because I play a lot of them and I'm proficient, but I am master of none of them. Analysis I have a 2 because I'm very good at analyzing situations, people, things, puzzles, etc. But I could use some work. I'm no Sherlock. I'm just decent. Nothing extraordinary. Charisma/leadership, I think I have a good personality and good charisma and good ability to lead, evidenced by positions I have previously held. But, I am still looking for a mastery of how to lead. For my own style. I haven't quite found an exact style yet. I could use some improvement here as well.

Strength of Will, however, I definitely have a 3. Because I am heavily disciplined and can power through any grind amount of work, not to mention physical grind. I literally work out 2 hours every morning. I don't know if you guys know how hard it is to motivate yourself to run, bike, and swim every morning, but let me tell you. It is hard, and I still manage. That I can keep up so well with all the activities of my life, from sports practice to working out to my non-school projects to my school work... I think that says something about my Strength of Will, which is probably my most powerful single trait. In high school, I woke up at 5 in the flipping morning to run before school. Needless to say, I think I am a master of willpower, and then when it comes to SoW, I'm in at least a 5% percentile of something virtually no one else possesses or will ever possess.

OKAY that justifies me. Your turns.

Reasoning: While I'm naturally stronger than the average person, purely by naturally being larger and having better muscle development, I would HARDLY say I'm that of even an athlete. Simply stronger than half of the population. In contrast, I'm fairly slow in comparison to the population, but not sluggish. As far as RS goes, I don't have a boisterous, or even very strong personality... Very laidback and passive. SpPr, I feel I have fairly strong mental endurance, regarding mental exercises, such as tests. Physical endurance would be slightly higher than average, purely based on youth. SENSES... I'm blind... Well, in my left eye I am 20/200, stemming from astigmatism, and a genetic disease. My right eye is 20/60. My hearing is a slightly below average, but taste, touch, and smell are average. Instinct, I'm oblivious for the most part, and focus too much internally. As such, my spatial awarness and reaction time are fairly low. ES, in correlation with instinct, I'm oblivious, while I wouldn't say I'm socially awkward, I tend to not notice emotions unless they are evident. HE, Basic first aid, also, I'm researching forensic psychology, which requires some knowledge of medicine, so, significantly below average (A paramedic) but not terrible.

I'm too tired/lazy to write a detailed explanation so let's go over this quickly. I'm slightly stronger than the 'average' guy, but just slightly. Speed-wise, I lack agility but make up for it with the small amount of endurance lingering from when I used to run cross country. My reflexes are pretty shitty and my senses aren't exactly sharp. My SpPr is pretty high just because of the large amount of mental work I can take on over a long period of time. That was pretty much decided by the difficulty of classes I've been taking and what I will take, since they're almost all Adavnced Placement this upcoming year and most were last year. Therefore, a few friends of my dubbed me "the Tank" because I just tank the classes xD And I do well in most if not all of them, so that accounts for the high RS.

Skills are pretty self explanatory.

Okay, my reasoning. I'm physically weaker than most people. I blame a it on a couple personal choices, but also i do have bad genetics when it comes to actual brute strength it sucks. As for speed, I have longer legs and therefore a longer stride then most people i know. Also, i'm naturally fast when it comes to running and did some track in high school. As for Spiritual pressure, it's not for physical endurance because my body would give out long before my mind does. I have endured a bit in my life and i've managed to outlast it or outright take it mentally because of natural tenacity and the stubborn will to get through it.

As for Reiastu strength, i have a dominate personality. In most of my social circles, i'm well known as being outspoken and while not forceful. You'll know what i'm thinking. There are acutally people who remember me years after we've met just because of how outspoken i was both then and now. As for senses, I have perfect 20/20 vision in both eyes, and none of my senses have actually been degraded. And they're better than some of my friend who have good vision, hearing, and smell. On to instinct, it's not that i have bad reaction time. I actually have trouble slowing my mind down without medication and therefore i miss obvious things or overlook something someone else may see which can be severely detrimental. My energy sensory is actually very good at readying people and moods, i've been not the strongest or the fastest, but i am able to pick of on moods very well and it's helped save a relationship or two. As for HE, i can work a First aid kit. that's pretty much it.

As for my skills, my spiritual pressure and my strength of will are what go hand in hand explained above. I've built my own computer and do regular upgrades on it whenever i'm not poor haha. My psychology stems from physical education and the fact that i come from an abusive home, if you weren't able to mentally read and psychologically manipulate the people that were taking care of me, i ended up being beaten for very little if not anything at all. I can cook, self taught and it's not bad. Sex, well if anyone wants a detailed description as to why i gave myself a 2, PM me and i'll tell you. According to Z, we have to be proper on the site. i can drive, and drive a stick shift, but i'm not much of a street racer. and my analysis goes well with my psychology and energy sensory. analyzing people and how i can best talk to them.

May as well hop myself into this!

Strength 45

This has been lowered as quite honestly I used to be around a 60 maybe a 65 back when I did wrestling back in highschool. I've never had much fat but I gained a lot of muscle, so much so that even after some odd 8 years of nothing resembling consistent workout I'm still not rid of all the muscle I gained. But ofc now I'm....average ish. A little on the weak side due to some old injuries (my collar bone was broken and a lot of strain kinda makes me stop.)

Speed 60

Travel is perhaps the biggest thing I do. Because I don't drive I either walk or (VERY RECENTLY) bus wherever. Back a few years ago when I first started my job, I walked anywhere from 2-3 miles every day. Of course this has become incredibly inconsistent due to my work, but I'm fairly good and fast. My legs are probably the strongest thing on my body, and were it not for my knees I'd probably be rather athletic.

Spiritual Pressure 70

I'm a goddamn horse when it comes to endurance. Strangely, I have no problems just....trucking on. I had something of an issue with pacing myself since middleschool. I'd run myself panting, then keep on going past that. As for work, I work hours my coworkers gawk at and just... I dunno, don't mind. I'm fairly sturdy, or rather I suppose just a high tolerance for abuse.

Reiatsu Strength 30

My personality is not as strong as it seems. I'm very insecure and frankly am a bit of a cry-er despite my physical fortitude. Honestly despite my ability to form thoughts and such I don't think I could ever do anything with large groups of people involved. Even if I could tough it out during work hours, it'd ruin me once I got home..


Senses 55

I have a weirdly sharp sense of hearing in contrast to my shitty eyesight. My sense of touch is fairly good but my sense of pain is kinda low? Theres so many ups and downs with this that honestly I dunno.....

Instinct 90

This is very situational. Sometimes I can't even catch a ball, other times I can understand a concept much faster than others. My mind works fast, but well....my body is definitely not up to speed all the time.  Another.....iffy one.

Energy Sensory 25

I'm horrible at reading people. I can analyze them all I want but somehow I just....don't get it. I'm horrible at reading people in some ways, and the few ways I can read them are pretty limited. I can recognize like-minded people, but well, I never socialized at all in school beyond very limited cases so myeh.

Healing Expertise 60

Above average because of my job. :U

SP Total:  435

Sklill points are so situational that I'd have to divide them into subcategories.Not to mention I have a 1 in so much shit because I just like learning stuff about everything. I'd have a 0.5 in about 20 things and a 1 in a handfull. And well....that would probably be in a separate post if I ever did decide to do it XP
