[classy=appfield] PERSONALITY :: [/classy]
Revel, on a good day, is pretty much a relaxed guy. He'll ignore most situations going on around him and do his own thing. Maybe sit down and smoke his cigarettes or go to his apartment and just nap till he feels like waking up. Revel is actually pretty descent on these days, but that doesn't mean that one thing can't change that. Pick a fight with Revel and you better make sure your life insurance is in check because his temper combined with his desire to fight is a combination that has put many people in the hospital. He tends to go all out when he fights, often ignoring the fact that other people are around, but that doesn't matter to Revel , because the only person he looks out for is himself.

He couldn't care less about people starving or anything like that. Revel only cares about what happens in his world and if he tolerates you enough to call you a friend then congratulations you just got yourself a friend for life that will often ignore your heeds to stop fighting. Speaking of fighting, Revel loves it, looks forward to it, and relishes it. He loves spending his time at the underground fights, because he gets to meet other guys that share his same joy for the barbaric activity. Revel thinks that fighting is the personification of your fighting spirit clashing with another person's. When he fights, Revel will often do his trade mark laugh which is, "Gya...Gyahaha....GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!" Which means that he is enjoying the fight. Try to stack the odds against him and you'll only fuel his fighting spirit.


Strategy wise, Revel is a Gun -Ho type of person. He likes to rush in head first, without thinking about what his opponent has up their sleeve. That being said, he is horrible at playing Shogi, but still plays with Grandpa Raikou at the park every weekend. He doesn't refer to Grandpa Raikou as what you'd expect,I.E gramps, old man, geezer, etc. He refers to him as Raikou Sensei. Now you'd expect Revel to flip the table and rage at the old man, but in reality, Revel just bows and goes on his merry way and will vent his anger out on the first person to bother him.

[classy=appfield] MISC INFO :: [/classy]
Born and raised in Japan,Revel Showalter grew up fighting. It was the only way he felt alive. Of course his parents didn't care too much for his habit of beating the snot out of anyone that pissed him off. They tried several councilors,but that didn't help either. His parents thought that maybe teaching the young boy a martial art style would help him calm down. In truth, it only added fuel to the fire. Revel would get sent home from school for kicking the crap out of one kid or beating the hell out of another. Turns out teaching your violent son Jeet Kun Do won't really help.

While in High School, Revel quickly found out about the mafia world and decided to try his hand at fighting some. He came face to face with the first flame user he ever fought. Ironically enough that person also used Storm Flames, but when Revel figured out just what he could do, he thrashed the guy and began his rise in the underground fight syndicate. Getting the nickname, The Typhoon Tyrant due to his ruthless fighting style and showing no mercy to his opponent until they were knocked out. Revel made a lot of money this way,but his parents disowned him and soon after that, Revel stopped caring about anything else that he wasn't interested in.

He would enter handicapped fights just for the thrill of battle and would always be seen laughing or talking trash before a fight . Revel soon turned into the type of guy that smoked indoors then dares someone to make him take it outside. He soon lost any ridiculous emotion like sadness or joy and replaced them with greed and wrath. He has become very profound in his Jeet Kun Do fighting style and has his own place in a quiet Namimori neighborhood. Well it would be quiet if he didn't get complaints all the time. Bottom line is that Revel is only looking out for the next fight. Simple as that.

[classy=appfield] FLAME ATTRIBUTE & ABILITIES :: [/classy]
Storm Flames

Storm Flamethrower:
Revel's ability is control over the strength and amount of Storm Flames he can emit. He can only do this with a ring on his finger. It either used to send a stream of storm flames at the enemy or make multiple balls of Storm Flames to fire at the enemy.
Duration/Cooldonw: 3/4

[classy=appfield] BOX WEAPON :: [/classy]
Berserker's Gloves:
Revel's Box Weapons are two black gloves with metal pieces on them. They cover his entire hand and have an ingrained ability that is powered by his storm flames. In short, when Revel put's his gloves on the immediately become surrounded in storm flames and upon impact with anything,they cause and explosion. Revel can also deactivate his gloves in order to touch his comrades. The gloves draw out Revel's Storm Flames so when he runs out then they disappear and become gloves with metal on them.
Duration/Cooldown:4/5




[classy=appfield] BOX ANIMAL :: [/classy]
Rat, The Storm Hedgehog:
Rat is Revel's Storm Hedgehog that has a lazy look on his face. When Revel tells it to look sharp then Rat begins to flare with Storm Flames as a means of getting pumped.

Berserk Rollout:
Rat curls up into a ball then the Storm Flames around its body begin to rapidly flare out then Revel throws him in the desired direction. The combination of his speed from being thrown and the disintegrating properties of his storm flames gives Rat an almost Juggernaut like attack that can tear down a lot of structures and whatnot.
Duration/Cooldon: 4/5

»The personality is almost to a T Shizuo himself.

»Nothing in your history about joining Spiaggia at all?

»Storm Flames do not function that way.Your cigarettes would decay and fall apart, not light up. The big "whoosh" flamethrower is fine, it just eats your flames quickly. You also need duration/cooldown

»The "explosions on contact" in your gloves would, actually be the ability. You even say it yourself. So, pick between that or Berserker's Fury.

»Ok, I can understand the Kangaroo boxing (because they do irl), but Pandas doing karate and flexing is just...

»Why even go with a panda if you're going to do a roll out ability? Why not use an armadillo or something? Beside that, covering oneself in storm flames does not give one excessive speed.

» You added something to the personality that doesn't change the fact that he is almost a carbon copy of Shizuo.

» Gonna need a duration and cooldown on your gloves' ability.

» I got an outside opinion on your personality and they agreed with me. Revel is too similar to Shizuo. He's only "more violent" because he enjoys fighting, as opposed to Shizuo. That is almost literally the only difference. The way you phrase every little thing in your application make this character read like a Shizuo who just likes fighting. I don't give a rat's ass if your character likes fighting or hell, even if you keep this character relatively the same, but you have to phrase it better so it doesn't feel like you just copy pasted someone's description of Shizuo and replaced the name.

I'm not asking you to "change" it, per se, but more rephrase it.
