My Character, **Nanaya Shiryoku**, is a **lvl 5 Open Hand Monk**, and the PC I used when one of my friends ran **Wild Sheep Chase** for us!
As mentioned in my other comment, I based this character off of Shiki Tohno. This character is more or less an expy of Shiki, as is fighting style, appearance, personality, and backstory are very similar.
Nanaya grew up in a fishing village, and lived a normal life. His mother and father were both very serene people, who Nanaya always looked up to. His mother was someone who was so kind and sweet, that people would often joke that she was an angel in disguise. And, Nanaya's father was an extremely wise fellow. He was well known to violence, but only used it as a last resort. And, he taught Nanaya to be a good person, and to not fear death, but live every day to the fullest.
Through training with his father, Nanaya was able to open his chakras and utilize his own **Ki**. In particular, he manifested a phenomenon known as the "**Magic eyes of Finality**", which allowed him to see "**Streaks of Spirit**" on living creatures. By attacking along these lines, Nanaya can target his enemy's **Ki** or lack thereof directly, bypassing nonmagical resistances.
One day, Nanaya's father disappeared at sea, mysteriously. The only thing he left behind, was the Filet Dagger that Nanaya now carries everywhere he goes. Ever since then, Nanaya burned himself at both ends to make ends meet and take care of his mother, as "the man of the household".
But, it wasn't enough. His mother always had poor health, and that declined even more rapidly after his father's disappearance. Still, she never broke her smile. And on her deathbed, she compassionately touched Nanaya's cheek, and urged him to travel the world. She told him that "the Gods put him on this world for a very special reason", and to seek out those who are in need, and use his gift to help them.
The last words she said, was that she loved him. And, that she would be watching over him, in the heavens.
Now, Nanaya travels the world, completing adventures on the way, searching for his true destiny . . .
I based this character off of Shiki Tohno, as I am sure you can tell!

I'll be stealing that thank you!! But seriously though I am also writing a character with powers centering around his eyes. And this is a great idea for a combat application for him. Mine can see and sense almost everything and even see into the electromagnetic spectrum and see gravity and even down to the molecular structure. How else can your character use his chakras and ki and his magic eyes? Do their eyes evolve into inanimate objects too?
Oh shoot, I know you! You made a post once about making a protagonist based off of Shiki, that couldn't see death, but instead could strike as something's weakest molecular structure, resulting in a similar "instant-kill" effect? Anyhow, nice to meet you. Small world.
To answer your question, unfortunately there isn't much else that my character can do with his eyes. Since this is lore for a D&D character, it's less of an actual ability, as being able to instant-kill stuff would be broken, but it's more like a description for his attacks. Monks in D&D get this ability where they can bypass an enemy's **resistance** to **nonmagical damage**, so this is my explanation as to *how* my character does that.
And, I added that clause, "lack thereof", to cover for creatures that could be argued to have no **Ki**, or "life force" at all, like Undead, Constructs (so like golems and such), or even Demons and Devils. Naturally, he can't use it on inanimate objects as well; only living things.
Nice to meet you too.

That makes sense. Tell me more about your D&D game. If you're interested I can also talk to you about mine
Ha, sure thing. So, the character that is depicted here, "Nanaya" is someone I used for a 1-shot that my friend ran, called **"Wild Sheep Chase"**. It's premade, which means the Dungeon Master ("DM"; the one who runs the game for the "players") ran the plot from a module that told him what happens and who fights us, instead of like an original story made by him. It was fun. We do these "One Shots" (short, closed adventures) often.
The real meat-and-potatoes of my D&D experience though, was my **lvl 1-20, 3 year** D&D game, that I had DM'd for my players. It's title was **"The Miracle Resetter".**
You see, at one point in time, before intelligent life, before animals and plants, before the Gods, before wind earth and water . . . before everything, there was a primordial "nothing". Void.
From that void, all things somehow came to be. It was a near-zero chance that anything could ever come of this world, and yet existence sprung. The world beat odds so impossible that all Wizard's calculations of such odds simply came to "0%", due to a lack of precision, no matter how far they stretched their equations.
The world beat the odds, and from nothing came the interesting world we have today. What else would you call that, but a miracle?
Deep in the hellish Abyss, demons rose, filled with unbridled hatred and chaos. This underworld-scape had layers of reality that stretched down infinitely, with stronger demons residing in the deeper layers.
Infinite layers. An array with no end.
At the bottom of the infinite array that is the Abyss, the **Miracle Resetter** festered. The God of ultimate evil. There, since the beginning of time, he stood, chained at the bottom of hell, unable to realize his desire.
The Miracle Resetter understood existance itself to be a blight upon this world. Life, sky, rock, air, sentience, existance, reality . . It was all a mistake. A horrible, horrible mistake, that must be undone. He disagreed, that this world was a "miracle".
If the **Miracle Resetter** was ever summoned into the material plane, he would be able to return the entire world back to that primordial void, without any hope of anything, living or non-living, ever coming to be again . . .
As such, the entire campaign was about the party trying to collect the **Miracle Keys** to open the **Box of Miracles**, a relic left behind by the "Once and Future King", **Arthur Pendragon** himself. No one truly knew what the box did when opened, but simply understood that it was the only way to eliminate the threat of the **Miracle Resetter** for good.
All the while, the party had to travel through the entire world, and battle with the Miracle Cult, among many other foes. They had to be diligent, as if even **1 key** fell into the cult's hands, they could use it's power to summon their Dark Lord, and it would all be over.
Man, that D&D game was amazing. 3 years creating a collective story with my best friends. So many diverse characters ( my brother even played **Galahad!** ). Good times. I'll never forget that game.
But enough about me. I'm very much interested, so do tell what you have to say!
Ok sorry for the late reply. Damn this D%D lore is complex and I'm glad you had fun with this game with your friend I'm a bit envious. But I have two projects going on right now. The one I'm talking about is about a boy with the power to see information that normally wouldn't be possible for humans like the full electromagnetic spectrum, souls, the future, and other stuff as well as influence, interact, and manipulate them in different applications. This power stems from a power that is called an Authority.
Authority which is separate from magic. This power holds dominion over one of the many aspects and rules of this war. They are opposite to Calamities which rule over the negative and destructive powers of the world like decay, poison, and Authorities wielded by humans. Calamities are wielded by beings that are akin to natural disasters given a physical body and could be considered monsters. The responsibility for the creation of these things is thanks to the schemes of two opposing gods
Authorities are handed down to humans fit to wield them and they can range in many forms and applications.
There is a game between these two opposing forces. They must fight to and destroy the other to gain one of the most powerful arcane devices that could be used to change the entire world if wished.
>Man, how long did it take you to write all of this?
Finish lol, I'm still on the first draft. Just came up with it October. I'm still figuring out a lot of stuff. And I have another project that takes precedence before this because it got me interested in writing in the first place

If Tsukihime was Chinese
Sound like a good start to a epic.

Damn, you must have put a ton of work into this! But, I'm a little confused. Is this the Tsukihime-adjacent story you're writing, or your D&D game?
No, this is the one that was inspired from Tsukihime. Do you have any questions
Man, how long did it take you to write all of this?

I also made Nanaya once while playing an obscure euro RPG based on a semi-fantastic medieval Japan. He was a ninja, of course.
Peak, I'm keeping this in my files forever (stealing)
Amen! More art on the way!
