Katachi Koutai, the Shapeshifter

It seems a lot more fair, and I have yet to find anything wrong with it, it is 5 am so I will read more in depth tomorrow, as well as wait for Devin's point of view, but from what I saw it is definitely better.

I say approved.

Well, I still dont like the idea of his brain not being in his main body. I dont care if it can move around inside his body, or something like that, but the idea of "Hey look, I cant be killed" just doesnt sit right with me. The rest of us make do with being mortal. If we die, that's it. But you just regenerate elsewhere. And yes, you brought it down a lot. But think of all the places you could hide it in a city. Thats 4 city blocks. That's a pretty freaking large radius. And thats (havent I said this?) IF we know you can do that! Even post-nerf, Katachi is a powerful mutha. Does he really need immortality for you to be happy with him?

Other than that, I dont see anything wrong with it. If Slam and Viva say it's fine, I guess Im done complaining.

Well I guess i can compress the brain into like a very small size. The main thing I wanted to do with this is that I wanted to charge madly without the need for my own safety. This would get me killed REAL fast. But think if I do have clones. Do I have to split my real brain in two doubling the chances of being killed in the midst of combat? No I dont like that. Well how about if I do clone, I keep it in one body, halving my chances of death and if it gets to dicey I run?

This idea has not been edited in I wanna hear your thoughts.

If you can get on chat?

Cant usually chat, lol. I usually post right before bed or during class. But I wasnt against the mental connection, just the remote control.

Katachi's clones are fine; you made it avoid OP by using the 'Diminishing returns' flaw for clones. So I'm cool with them. If you cloned yourself and they both fought, that's fine! That's what they're there for. Put your tiny little brain in the big toe of one of them, and have at it. But I'm just saying that having your super-fast regenerating brain in a secret location that 95% of heroes cant find seems good. Unless you counted it as a one of the Katachis, but then that would reduce your main body's power by 50%, since you would always have at least 2 bodies. I'd just say carry it with you. We (usually) wont be able to tell which body it's in anyway.

But this raises another pretty small nitpick.

So you want a berserker of sorts. But you listed Katachi's personality as:

Tobakado wrote:He's an improvisational, a little too serious take-no-chances kind of person.

Lolwut? Take no chances...rush in recklessly without regard to personal safety. ♫One of these things is NOT like the other one! One of these things doesnt belong! ♪

**Edit** Just out of curiosity, how does hierarchal telepathy work anyway? For the main brain (lol, rhyme) to give orders, it needs to send commands out. For it to realize "Hey clone, dodge that sword!," the clone needs to tell the brain that the sword is there. Isnt that 2-way? **/edit*

I apologize the multiquote is messing up my location of quote and edit. I edited your last post without knowing it.

here I fixed it:

I have said on my clones that I can spread the percentages however I like as long as it sums up 100%. I can do 25/75 for example. I could also put the brain in the weaker one as a bluff or something.

I missed two vital words. on the telepathy.

Ill fix more later

I have fully fixed everything that needed to be fixed, I think. Slam says approved, but I think its just clarification of katachis powers at this point. Like Keil said. he still has questions about somethings.

I have edited the hide and throw clone things. I said that he CAN but he doesn't like to. (or thats what I intended to say.)

as for personality, I meant LEAVE-no-chances. sry mb

as for the telepathy, I gave an example the looking at multiple tv's and changing the channel example. I also added some key words that allows it to be made more clear.

Well I think I'm finally out of questions and comments, lol. You've done a pretty damn good job of fixing this guy, so I'd say reapproved. Sorry things got kinda crazy in the middle of all that. One the positive side, I think this is the most commented-on application in existence. Also, the colors make it purty.

If you do find some free time, you might want to copy-pasta this into Word to spellcheck it. All the edits that its undergone may have led to minor grammatical errors or mispellings, and this App has been polished over too many times for grammar to make it look bad.


Does the Shamgarel or Cult (or any other mods/admins) got anything else for him? Anything to clear up? Comments? Concerns? If not, give it the seal of approval and lets get Katachi back on the streets.

Well Im sure theres some that have more comments, but maybe not counting stolen threads that got off topic. But I get your point.

I use google chrome it has a built in spell checker. don't worry about that.
I already have permission from slam to reuse him (VIA chat)
(btw "Googled" does not register as a word on google chrome wtf?)

:EDIT: omg I thought of something for next chapter. And there wont be any spoilers to it just an idea. Katachi is gonna die next chapter anyhow, but how about using my suicide flaw described below to bring someone back to life. An important guy at that too like pain or something. It would be Ironic on katachi's part, his hunger for DNA became his undoing and brought pain back to life. For example. What do you guys think?

Tobais Kado wrote:If katachi remains in the copied superhero's form for more than 6 hours, Katachi will lose his shapeshifting abilities, his memories and effectively become the original copied person. (By god modding rules I should give him/her bact to the original owner if dead, and If alive and there are two, call an amnesiac suicide of the inability to control their powers. Don't say that I can have an army of these. I will make an effort NOT to. I don't want an army of enemies. Especially if I made them myself.)

Whens the last time you updated Chrome? B/c here's some examples I can see from here:

Tobakado wrote:Appearence:

If it requires some kind of concentration or something that he can copy, Like a recitation ritual for example, He can sucessfully pull it off

Makes 2 perfect copies of himself. they live and breathes like the original (and) they can also shift like the original.

By god modding rules I should give him/her bact to the original owner

And I could keep going. The History especially is wierd. Periods instead of commas (or if they are supposed to be periods, there arent any capitalizations afterwards), instances of not capitalizing Katachi's name, and things that, well, I just dont understand. Take for instance, the opening line of the history:

"He was born of a genetic manipulation experiment, one that allows him to control his own genetic manipulation him self."

Shouldnt it say "He was created as a experiment in genetic manipulation, and attempt at making a being capable of controlling and changing his own genetic makeup."? Otherwise there's a redundancy in that he can control his own genetic control.


So like I said, give it a once-over in Microsoft Word, or just re-read it yourself. Chrome doesnt even recognize it's owner, lol. How can it recognize typos?

(The suicide idea is interesting though. I'd totally volunteer Meteo for it, if he wasnt a magic-wielder. Find out someone who wants to die and be resurrected, and I'm sure Sham could help integrate it.)

^^^Lol

Edited, apparently google chrome does not recognize grammatical errors, only spelling errors.

DAAWWWWW oh well

Should I post up a new thread concerning the suicide idea?

Much betta, lol. Word is Win (most of the time).

The suicide thing's up to you. You could put a thread in announcements, or just PM likely candidates. idc. But as far as this application goes, I think it's finally done. I'm guessing 'Cult doesnt have anything (except the giggles ), and you said Sham already approved it, so I'll go ahead and move it into the approved section. Enjoy your newly revamped shapeshifter!

Moved to the trash, old application.
