Appearance

Physical Description: Tall, with a strong, but lean build. Has azure hair that goes a bit short of shoulder length, hanging downward, but is slightly soft - he keeps it looking nice, but isn't terribly fussy about it - his skin complexion is normal, no blemishes or abnormalities. He tends to have a relaxed pose when standing, walking, sitting, even fighting - like he's just enjoying the moment in whatever he's doing. Some people feel more relaxed themselves when around Blitz with his unusual clothes and kind smile.

He's pretty broad-shouldered and has a fair amount of muscle, enough to make him seem strong without looking bulky. His muscle isn’t to the extent where you’d think he worked out everyday, with sharply defined lines or anything, but the muscle tone and shape do stand out a fair amount when he moves. His body language tends to do a 180 depending on whether he’s in or out of combat – outside of combat, he tends to seem laid-back, hands in pockets, slightly slumped posture, but in combat, his muscles are more defined in their lines, his actions more lively, quite a difference from his casual self. He tends to keep part of his bangs tucked under his hat – not for any practical reasons; just that he thinks it looks cooler that way.

He has azure-colored eyes that are unusually kind for someone so obsessed with combat and magical brawls. They tend to glaze over when he’s bored or sleepy, usually right before he falls asleep on a roof or in a tree – he had a habit of nodding off in high-up places and being lucky enough not to wake up by landing on his head. He’s also grown a bit of a beard on his chin lately, Blitz thinking it looks terribly manly.
Clothing: Long cargo jeans, black in color, and a jacket with gray, wolf-like fur around the edges of the collar, sleeves, and hem. The jacket is blue, a dark blue, with a flame on the front and back. Both the pants and jacket have numerous pockets. His shoes are black with black laces, The hat he wears at all times is tall with blue and white horizontal stripes, made of a felt-like material that Blitz reinforced with magic, so its strong, but flexible. The brim is only an inch or two wide, an odd contrast to the height of the hat. The pants have a pair of symbols on the lower part of the pants near the ankle, a light symbol on one side, a dark symbol on the other, Blitz's own little twist on the old light and dark or yin and yang comparison. His shoes are thick soled and sport blue lines running along the sides, with the part near the front black and the upper part white, again in line with the yinyang theme.
Accessories: None.

Personality

Blitz can be very fun and flexible in his passion for entertainment - he enjoys a good fight, but not seriously hurting people - he preferred to win by restraining or stopping the moves of an opponent, kind of like how you win in chess with a checkmate, but not actually toppling the king. Winning with smarts is as fun as winning with strength, even if it does lack the same kind of adrenaline rush. He also enjoys playing with his magic, trying new things or just using it to keep himself entertained. He feels happy when he does things like this, because they test his abilities and let him have fun in a way he chooses. Blitz tends to be laid back - loves to make people laugh, but knows when to be serious. He likes to make witty comments, but almost never at someone else's expense, and doesn't like it when the joke is on him. Sometimes he might tease a comrade, but only in jest, and he quickly apologizes if he feels the joke didn't go over well. He is very kind, and tends to look out for people. He has a code of sorts, nothing too strict but one he follows closely, one of chivalry, being kind and polite to girls and women at all times, and he gets furious when he sees or hears of a situation where a girl/woman is being mistreated or wronged. In battle he's laid-back, relaxed - after a fight is finished, he acts more like he just finished doing a chore like cleaning out the garage than engaging monsters with blades.

Blitz is actually a bit eccentric – he remains surprisingly calm in tense or stressful situations, even being humorous – and can get an interest on something no matter what the situation is if he’s bored enough, usually an interesting gadget or magic of an opponent. To the point that, say, he’d stay to fight in a collapsing building for kicks, and to see the fancy magic the bad guy was using. The fact that he likes to invent things is another outlet for his eccentric tendencies, making wacky – if useful – gadgets for his own amusement and handiness in his daily life or combat. Stuff his like magic-absorbing guitar is the standard for the types of things he dreams up when working alone in his lab. Though he still hasn’t decided, if he opens his own factory, if the hat or guitar should be the golden item to showcase the factory’s potentials.


History

Blitz discovered his magic at an early age, back on Earthland before the Blight - he was little when he was sitting outside during the winter, enjoying the soft snow and brisk chill, holding a small orb of metal in his pocket which he kept on his person, and didn't look down at himself until he noticed his right arm wasn't feeling any cold, and was very surprised to see his right arm sheathed in metal. Once he ran home, worried, his parents were equally surprised, but sat him down and explained magic to him. Blitz's father was a Takeover mage and his mother was an Ex-quip mage, and Blitz kind of...got a mix of the two. Blitz spent the next few years playing with his magic - it was fun to show to the other kids around his hometown and he found handy uses for his magic, and made his parents smile with his creativity. After awhile, though, he started to feel like he wanted to explore the world a bit, see more places, more magic, and strengthen his own.

With a smile and a promise to write home often, Blitz set out from his hometown to train his magic and himself. He stopped at a blacksmith a few towns away to apprentice for awhile - along with the smith knowing alot about many metals, Blitz himself was interested in metal quite a bit, as it was the base of his magic. The smith taught him ways to make and repair and upkeep weapons - when Blitz asked when he'd use this, the smith said it was a good skill to know. Blitz first began creating weapons at the smiths, not just by hand, but with his magic, too. Starting with simple things like swords, hammers, shields, he worked his way up to more complex designs - though at a very that were ridiculously flashy the smith shook his head with a laugh. Blitz liked the smith, he was gruff at times, but was kind to Blitz and had a booming laugh. Eventually, though, it came time to keep moving on, and said goodbye to the smith, receiving a small plate of steel as a token. He made friends with many other craftsman this way - a woodworker with a cold gaze but who was very patient - a chef who was brisk and very keen on being efficient, but always greeted people with a smile - a warrior monk who was strictly bound to his code and not big on talking, but didn't mind walking with Blitz and teaching him hand-to-hand combat when they set up camp for the night, showing him how to win with tactics, not just strength - a painter who was a bit strange but was very skilled, showing Blitz how to paint and color cleanly with inks and paints - and even an archer who ran into performing in one town who taught him how to use arrows Blitz made properly - how to account for wind, distance, height, etc.

Along the way he found that his power was rather handy for fixing a great deal of things, so it became a hobby of sorts for him to see how many areas he could apply his magic to - crafting, cooking, repairs, all somewhat mundane, but no less useful for that fact. He made quite a bit of gold working on fixing things and even a few contests of skill, his magic being somewhat eye-catching. Once, in a store, he saw a guitar that caught his eye, and he bought it, finding it useful both as a source of entertainment and as a weapon, once he fiddled with it enough. He later added a blade to the inside of the base, a fairly large one as far as hidden blades go - he figured some things might need cutting, not bashing. He wandered the country, doing as he pleased and having fun.

A few times his "fun" has ended badly for people - not so much "hurt" as "pissed off". Once in Aster Town in a bar, some architect was bragging than his creations trumped magic any day, an argument Blitz took up with gusto, though without a great deal of support. The bragger agreed to make a brawling dummy and make it fight Blitz at a place in time in the town, and both the brawling dummy and Blitz were ready at the time and place, both looking ready to fight. The resulting fight, however, leveled about five blocks and goodness knows how much jewels in property damage. Blitz won, however, if narrowly, but didn't stay long for his victory, as most of the town's architects - and citizens - weren't keen on Blitz sticking around, so he wisely decided to make himself scarce. Though he did eventually earn the forgiveness of the townsfolk, he did make a mental note to pick his battles from then on. Or at least where he fought them, if possible.

He later became part of Fairy Tail, and had a multitude of adventures, some on the verge of fantasy - fighting a doppelganger in an active volcano, stopping a city from being replaced with a section of Hell, halting a Demon Invasion, helping fight in 2 different wars against Bosco (merely a rival nation at the time) among others - but once the Blight occurred, Blitz managed to narrow escape into space to avoid sharing the same fate as his home planet, using the most advanced technology he had at the time to put himself into stasis for the journey, with it set to end the stasis when he was in a livable environment again, intending for it to circle around Earthland until the Blight had blown over. Unfortunately, Blitz woke a 1000 years later on an unknown planet, as the Blight hadn't left Earthland, and worse, Blitz had been in stasis for so much longer than intended that he had not only been severely weakened from his overtime in stasis, but his memory was cloudy, as well - he couldn't recall, despite fleeing the planet to escape it, exactly what the Blight was that had alarmed him so. And so, Blitz set off to explore the new world - and galaxy - he'd become a spacefarer of, and try to piece together what had occurred during his millennia of slumber.

Equipment & Items

Name: Vulcan Omega 1.5
Class: A
Description: A mechanical arm forged by Blitz to replace the one he lost in battle. It's set to register his body's electric signals so contact and power are on par with his other arm so that he doesn't crush things when he picks them up and can sense what he's touching with the arm. Steel gray from shoulder down. (Not surprising, being made of Steel) with a Vulcan Omega logo on the shoulder front and a fiery gear decal on the side of his shoulder. Slightly weaker in material after being held in stasis for a full millennia.
Effect/Function:

Laser Blast - (7)
Type: Offense
Range: 150m
Effect: Allows Blitz to fire a beam up to 2m wide from his arm, dealing lethal damage to anything it hits. Can also be sustained for a few posts as a beam that deals critical damage.
Duration: 3 posts
Cooldown: 2 posts

Price: 240,000 credits

Name: Steel Jacket
Class: A
Description: A side-effect of Blitz transforming into machine after machine, his body has gained similar characteristics in defense. His skin is considerably tougher, being very difficult to damage. The only effect noticeable by the eye is that the skin will actually make slight sparks when struck by metallic objects, a hint at its newer composition. While the effect has worn down some after the years in stasis, it still holds a considerable level of defense.
Effect/Function: None, it's base defensive nature is it's only bonus at the moment.
Price: 100,000 credits
Price Link: bravegalaxy.boards.net/thread/75/steel-jacket

Name: Conduit Blade
Class: D
Description: A blue blade with a white guard on it, a slight prong on either end of the guard on the sides, but not sharp enough to pierce. Roughly 3 feet long with a half-foot wide guard across the hilt. Slightly worn after the years in stasis.
Effect/Function: While still in decent shape after the stasis, the blade's magic seems to be taking its time returning.

Name: Impact Knuckle
Class: D
Description: A series of small, circuit-like symbols along the fingers and thumbs of both hands, royal blue in color, extending from just short of the knuckles all the way to a point just beneath the first joint on each of the fingers.
Effect/Function: While the impact-like effect of the item is still dormant somewhere, until it's brought to the surface again, they're merely tech-looking tattoos.

Name: Creator's Cloak
Class: B
Description: A veil of energy surrounding Blitz with numerous effects, faintly visible as a very faint aura of energy around him when active. Note that this does NOT serve as armor or a barrier, attacks aren't slowed or stopped by this aura. Created by a device around his neck, a dark-blue gear on a thick chain.
Effect/Function: Restored to a partial-strength version of it’s former powers, it boasts a few benefits:


Price: 3 AP
Price Link: bravegalaxy.boards.net/thread/222/creators-cloak

Name: Eggsy Ruins Everything, A Trilogy
Class: C
Description: A set of three small, porcelain eggs, contained within a leather pouch. Each egg is painted with different springtime designs and colors on it, and the pouch regenerates lost eggs between threads.
Effect/Function: Each egg has its own effect, which can only be used once per thread. Upon shattering, one egg will produce a smoke screen 10 meters wide obscuring the vision of all those with an Acuity of 30 or less for up to 3 posts. The next egg produces a shield that can block up to 1 instance of intense damage, and has an area of 2 meters, with a duration of 3 posts. The final egg generates an explosion with a 5 meter radius, dealing intense damage to those caught within its blast.

Name: Mistletoe Missiles
Class: C
Description: A set of 10 sprigs of mistletoe, their stems unusually sharp. The set is bunched together and secured with a small red ribbon, tied in a bow.
Effect/Function: Each sprig acts as a C-class throwing knife, capable of dealing damage as such. However, upon being thrown, they take up the role of missiles, of a sort. So long as a target being aimed for has a heart, or a mimicry of one, the mistletoe will travel in that direction with a Speed and Power of 30, changing its course of flight if the target moves so long as they do not escape a range of 50 meters from the plant. The only way to truly destroy this effect is the destroy the sprig in question, or let it run its course.

Name: Hospitable Hot Chocolate
Class: C
Description: A thermos of hot chocolate that always stays warm. It seems to always have hot chocolate in it regardless of how much is consumed, although only a finite amount of cocoa can be poured at a time. Marshmallows included, of course, although oddly enough there are only ever three at maximum.
Effect/Function: Upon consuming a marshmallow, up to 1 intense injury can be healed over the duration of a single post. After doing so, a 3 post cooldown incurs, and only as many injuries can be healed as marshmallows in the hot chocolate.

Skills & Disciplines

Repairs - His time with machines, as well as the time spent creating and working on his mechanical arm, has taught Blitz alot about how machines work and how to patch them up in a pinch.

Cooking - Being a traveler means eating for one some nights, and Blitz learned to cook as he wandered Fiore.

Inventor - Spending time and energy creating new builds for his magic has helped his creative side in other areas, causing him to begin experimenting with gadgets of his own making, his proudest one thus far being his guitar, on par with his mechanical arm.

Unorthodox Combat – Blitz has learned the value of a surprise attack, both in terms of unseen strikes and unexpected ones, and has adapted his fighting style to use his powers and surroundings as much as possible.

Hardy – Years of transforming into machines and toughening his body have made him highly resistant to physical pain. Granted, this doesn’t reduce the damage, but he’s able to keep his reactions in check and be less fazed by wounds that would send normal mages into shock.

Machine Master – Blitz’s understanding of machines, after both using and becoming them for years, lets Blitz learn the purpose of any piece of technology or machinery in a short time, and how to operate it within moments.

Combat Master – Having fought more varieties of foes than most even see in a lifetime, and having encountered all kinds of strength levels, Blitz has a knack for being observant when judging the strength of his foe.

Magic 

Name: Living Weapon Magic
Type: Takeover Magic
Proficiency: 5
Rank: 6
Description: Allows Blitz to transform parts of his body in weapons of metal - as ranks increase, the metal gets stronger. This also allows him the use of various mechanical weapons and abilities, including flight, strength, and the like. Mainly used for the base performance increases in melee combat at first, but also branches out into other areas of machinery and weaponry. Also allows him to alter parts of his form as needed to swap weapons and techs according to the situation, sometimes in conjunction with lightning-based effect. Basically, can create a variety of effect by using machines as a medium, though of course, the more basic machine functions are easier than the complex ones. Weapons and the like are simple enough, stuff that launches blasts more complex, and others that create very specific things slightly more so. In short, Blitz, being combat-focused, excels in machines regarding offense and defense, and less so on utility (meaning the support ones are less complex).

Techniques: (14/14) + 10/10 = 24/24 Total

Double Knuckle - (6)
Type: Takeover Form
Range: Self
Effect: Turns Blitz's body into steel, and increases the size of his fists to be up to 3m wide (though he can create them to be reduced in size, they have to start that way).
Duration: 5 posts
Cooldown: 3 posts
Stat Points Gained: +70 Power



Digital Barrier - (6)
Type: Defense
Range: Self
Effect: Allows Blitz to create small, square projector on his chest that creates an orb-like barrier around Blitz that protects him from every angle, even below and above. The barrier is roughly 25m in diameter, big enough to cover Blitz and two other people. Things can leave the barrier going to outside from inside freely. The Barrier is azure-tinted blue and transparent. Can block a Rank 6 tech, or 3 Rank 5s, etc, before breaking, or one instance of critical damage (or a few instances of severe damage) before breaking.
Duration: 5 posts
Cooldown: 2 posts

Slam Cannon - (6)
Type: Offense
Range: Melee
Effect: Blitz forms a field of electrical energy around his arm and fist that creates a burst of energy in the form of physical force when he punches something and makes contact, the damage from the tech able to deal critical damage to anything it hits.
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 2 posts

Override - (6)
Type: Utility
Range: Melee
Effect: Allows Blitz to hijack control of a machine (hardware or software) on contact and control it with his magic, using short electrical bursts. If the machine in question was created (or is controlled already) by a Ranked technique, this technique must exceed the Rank of that technique. Items of A-Class and above are unaffected. Note that for this technique, ‘machines’ are considered anything with an engine, or something mechanical run by software or magic. (So he couldn’t hijack a gun and make it shoot, but he could hack an elevator to make it change floors)
Duration: 4 posts
Cooldown: 2 posts

Sources wise, I'd like you to state which items you got from the Christmas event in particular in Blitz's profile. You also stated the hot chocolate twice when you were listing your sources.

For the upgrade of Override, this would have a duration of 4 posts and a cooldown of 2 posts, as per typical rank 6 techniques.

Unfortunately, as I forgot to catch this in a previous mod, I'll need you to tweak the Rocket Fist technique a bit, mainly that the fists cannot regenerate if they were destroyed beforehand, unless another iteration of the technique is activated, after the full cooldown resets. My apologies, I thought the statement in the paratheses applied to if the fists fly out of range when I first approved it.

Edited.
