    ROTWANG C. FRANKENSTEIN (COMPLETE) BODiww4




    Experience Advantage (Debt XP: 249 [249 to be paid off]):
    Rotwang was born a prodigy and thus, he starts off with an additional 249 XP above and beyond what would normally be available to him. However, in exchange, he must put at least 50% of all future XP earnings toward paying off this debt before he is free to use them elsewhere and so, he only has the remaining 50% of said future XP earnings to work with for other XP investments.

    -----

    Field Specialist (Choice: Urban):
    Rotwang was born and was also raised almost exclusively in a highly urban environment right from his childhood, so he is always exceptionally better at dealing with NPCs in such environments, causing his effectiveness versus these to be 1 rank higher than normal. However, in exchange, if he is ever outside an urban environment, then he does much worse with all NPCs that he encounters in such a non-urban environment, causing his effectiveness versus these to be 1 rank lower than normal.

    -----

    One-Handed Seals:
    Rotwang was born a prodigy which has allowed him to intuitively learn how to weave handsigns with a single hand for any techniques that require them, leaving his other hand free to use for other purposes as he sees fit. However, in exchange, this causes an unavoidable split in his focus and thus, when he is weaving handsigns this way, he always suffers a 1 tier loss of Coordination for that specific hand.  

    -----

    Mo-Money (Debt Ryō: 100,000 [150,000 to be paid off]):
    Rotwang was born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth as he was born into the ultra-wealthy and influential Frankenstein family, and thus they granted him 100,000 Ryō as a starting point for his financial ventures to use as he sees fit. However, in exchange, he is expected to pay them back with interest, making this amount to be paid off to be 150,000 Ryō and this means that all his future Ryō earnings must be put towards paying off this debt before he is free to use them elsewhere.

    -----

    Crafting Expertise - Engineering:
    Rotwang was born with a keen talent for all things mechanical and he has been tinkering away with such things since childhood which, in turn, has since allowed him to develop the special ability to craft Engineering related items at 1 rank higher than what his current experience or skill set would normally allow for him. However, in exchange, this superior craftsmanship always demands superior crafting material quality which manifests itself as a 50% increase in price for material.

    -----

    Aspiring Businessman:
    Rotwang has an intuitively keen understanding of the business world which lets him construct 2 additional stores above his normal limit and not only provides him with an +10% return on the investments he makes to all his Stores above the normal limit, but also doubles the maximum earnings he can receive from all his Stores per month above the normal limit. However, in exchange for this superior Store quality as well as the related superior investment and earning potential, he must contend with a +50% building cost increase for each of these Stores in his possession always.

    -----

    Solo Leveler:
    Rotwang has always been more comfortable working at his ongoing and ever-burgeoning mad science research and any other projects or ventures by himself rather than in collaboration with others and this has made him highly self-sufficient which manifests itself as a 5 XP bonus on top of the usual 5 XP for each of his solo RP posts. However, in exchange, due to him being much more uncomfortable when working with or being around others, he always suffers from losing 5 XP on each post when posting in threads he does if they consist of 2+ PCs (including himself).

    -----

    Living Conduit:
    Rotwang has always been tinkering with technology of various kinds right from childhood with a special focus/obsession being directed towards all things related to puppetry and this has long since granted him the ability to choose to channel his jutsu through any of his puppets (including his puppet armor) as though he was channeling them through his own body. However, in exchange, since the puppets are inherently nonliving conduits, he must pay 1 rank higher CP cost than the channeled jutsu's base CP cost whenever he chooses to cast any of the jutsu in his repertoire by using this specific method.

    -----

    Reactive Evolution:
    Rotwang has been studying the principles of human anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry and so, he has since developed the ability to apply these principles to his own body as and when necessary by using chakra as a medium to enhance its functionality and this, in turn, allows him to choose to evolve his combative prowess even while amid active combat which manifests as a +1 tier boost that he can apply by paying 5 CP per use to one of these following stats: Strength, Constitution, Speed, or Coordination. That said, this cannot boost the chosen stat beyond A-Rank, and he can only change the boost once per post by paying 5 more CP. However, in exchange, this method of forced short-term adaptation always places a strain on his body while this effect is in play, which manifests itself as a (-) to the three stats that were not boosted in this manner.

    -----

    Social Chameleon:
    Rotwang has been born and raised in a highly urbanized environment right from his childhood and so, he has since learned how to maneuver effectively and conceal himself easily as "just another harmless and featureless face in the crowd", so to speak, thus allowing him to hide his presence from any and all entities that may be attempting to find him in all environments of this sort which manifests itself as a -1 tier debuff to the Perception or Intelligence of any of these entities solely for the purposes of tracking down his location in such instances. However, in exchange, he has not been able to accrue any experience whatsoever for concealing his presence as well as maneuvering when in any environments that are non-urban in nature, which manifests itself as a +1 tier boost to the Perception or Intelligence to any who are trying to locate him in such non-urban environments.




    ROTWANG C. FRANKENSTEIN (COMPLETE) FB1ojtZ




    Appearance (Written):

    Physique Details:
    Rotwang is a 21-year-old young man (in both physique as well as function) who is 5’ 7” (1.70 m) in height and who weighs in at 148.0 lbs. (67.1 kg), which gives him a lean build overall (w/o his puppet armor equipped onto him). Additionally, he possesses white to light-green brush-like hair that spikes up and which has two locks of it that drape over his face and a pale or sallow complexion. These two physical traits, like his lean build, are also present in him because of the combination of him enduring various stressors from his work and life as well as his proclivity of willful and total ignorance of his basic bodily needs if not forced by external parties to attend to them in a timely manner. The most notable trait of his would be his Chinoike dōjutsu, the Ketsuryūgan, which causes his eyes which normally have black, round pupils and white sclerae to gain a blood-red, horizontal slit pupils as well as blood-red sclerae instead when it is active as shown in the GIF immediately below:

    ROTWANG C. FRANKENSTEIN (COMPLETE) UtFEokl

    The next of the most notable traits about his body is the ever-present pair of dark circles that can be seen under his normally rust-colored eyes (when he does not have his dōjutsu active) which constantly haunt him due to his obsessively workaholic nature when it comes to his ongoing and ever-burgeoning mad science research pursuits. This is exacerbated, albeit to a lesser extent, by the stressors he has to endure in his publicly known profession of being a respected, highly talented, and also fully qualified physician-scientist as well as his role as the next-in-line CEO of SteinCorp which is the famous multinational business conglomerate that is owned and operated by his family and the associated business group (i.e., the Frankenstein family and business group).

    The last of the most notable traits about his body are the pair of, symmetrically diagonal, healed suture lines that are present on top of his inner eyebrows and the multifarious blemishes that mar the rest of his body which include various chemical stains, smaller scars, suture lines, and wounds, and he received all these from his ongoing and ever-burgeoning mad science research. These have been accumulating throughout his past and they only keep increasing as time goes on, but the only one of these blemishes that is normally visible is the suture lines present on his face.

    -----

    Attire Details:
    Rotwang can almost always be seen wearing his work attire which is always composed of the following ensemble. The first piece is his white lab coat which always possesses some sort of chemical stain or another in various areas of its overall form. The second piece is a bipartite one consisting of a formal long-sleeved shirt along with a formal necktie which is always knotted in the Eldredge style as per the normal conventions regarding their use. These two may vary in shade every so often or even daily depending on his mood at the time. The third piece are his formal or semi-formal pants that he wears below the formal shirt that he wears above. Like his formal shirt and formal necktie, these pants may also vary in shade every so often or even daily, again, depending on his mood at the time.

    The fifth piece of this ensemble are his fully custom-made, polarized goggles which have been designed and crafted by him for his use in various situations. The last piece are his surgical gloves which he wears to protect his hands in various situations and these, like some other pieces in this default attire ensemble, two may vary in shade every so often or even daily depending on his mood at the time. That said, even though this ensemble is his default choice, he will still vary his outfit to something else if the situation at hand should demand it of him. Finally, he always prefers to have his equipment and accessories on his person for ease of transport and to afford him the ability to access them quickly whenever he should have need of them in some situation or another.

    ROTWANG C. FRANKENSTEIN (COMPLETE) KXnjAtD




    Rotwang Chinoike Frankenstein was born to a man named “Jekyll Frankenstein”, a foreigner from a distant land, and “Ino Chinoike”, a woman who hailed from the Chinoike clan of Kumogakure no Sato, or the Hidden Cloud Village, one of the five great ninja villages in the ninja world. The two reasons why his father, Jekyll, was accepted by the elders of the Chinoike clan was because he had a great deal of wealth which the elders realized could be quite useful to the clan’s future prosperity and because his mother, Ino, was quite taken with Jekyll and refused to give up on their imminent union. After that, in due course, Rotwang was brought into the world as part of the newest generation of the Chinoike clan members. Early on in his childhood, Rotwang was discovered to possess several innate talents ranging from the superior mental and physical capacity that he had inherited from his both of his parents to all those mechanically oriented talents that he had inherited specifically from his father along with the innately superior aptitude for the various basic ninja arts that he had inherited from his mother.

    Aside from this, as he went along, he was also found to possess an intuitively high acumen for business and economics theory, so along with the basic theory regarding each of the three central ninja arts (i.e., Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu), he was also made to undergo rigorous tutelage in the various aspects of the business world in preparation for that future wherein he would take over as the next-in-line CEO of SteinCorp, the business conglomerate owned and ran by his family. Beyond that, he also put himself through many auto-didactic study sessions wherein he began to instruct himself in the various secrets of Engineering, Puppetry, and other mechanically oriented matters as well as other scientific disciplines like Chemistry. Naturally, in addition to all this tutelage, since Rotwang had been born into the ultra-wealthy as well as influential Frankenstein family, the elders of this family (i.e., his father’s side) and of the Chinoike clan (i.e., his mother’s side) which had long enjoyed exalted socioeconomic status in Kumogakure ensured that he was instructed rigorously in various areas of knowledge/expertise such as high society etiquette, linguistics, fine arts, and so on which were not related to ninja life, but were in accordance with what would be expected from any such heir to a wealthy family.

    However, his mother and her side of the family did not instruct him in the secret arts exclusive to the Chinoike clan since they wanted him to develop a good foundation in the basics arts that every ninja was expected to know thoroughly and was expected to be able to wield easily at any time (i.e., Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu), but they did recognize the fact that he did indeed have innate talent for it which they insisted that he wait till later to cultivate at his leisure. So, despite his keen interest in these secret arts which was as obsessive as his fascination with technology, science, and so on, he was not able to make any progress in this area. Thus, in this manner, time marched on for Rotwang wherein he went from being a mere boy to a young man and during this time, he was not only trained in the universal ninja arts but also continued to train himself in the Engineering, Puppetry, and Chemistry disciplines as well. Along with this, he was also made to continue his exhaustive learning in business, economics, and related matters as well as his training in those various areas of expertise related to being the heir to a wealthy family. Alas, this relatively peaceful and uneventful period was marred by certain unsavory occurrences which then left Rotwang with the phobia which still haunts him in the present, those being his acrophobia for heights of 300 m or more due to almost falling to his death off a cliff of that height near his clan compound while he was out and about doing his auto-didactic natural science studies, but which he ended up being rescued from because some of his clan members had been incidentally present in the area then.

    Apart from this, during this time, he also acquired most of the rest of the obsessive mad scientist personality that he has in the present as well as his unique personal quirks such as his incorrigible hedonism and his obsession with all things jelliform and fluffy. After that, Rotwang then continued to go about his life from one year to the next until his 20th birthday. At this point, Rotwang’s parents and clan decided to take matters into their own hands and to force him to attend the Kumogakure Ninja Academy to prevent him from whiling away any more time on his auto-didactic studies, but before they could, Kumogakure came under attack by the legendary figure known as Dragon King Raijin who had apparently laid waste to the key facilities in the village and so, his Academy debut was put on hold due to him and his family being forced to flee from this harbinger of destruction for their own safety. The land that they chose to flee to was none other than Iwagakure no Sato, or the Hidden Stone Village. As was expected by them, they were met with a great deal of suspicion and resistance from its denizens from the outset due to Kumogakure having been part of the alliance of Kiri-Konoha-Kumogakure which had long stood against Iwagakure on inimical terms, but they persevered onward despite that and then, in the coming months, they managed to prove their newfound loyalty to Iwagakure and successfully earned their permanent citizenship therein.

    Once that was done, as an additional gesture of goodwill and good faith, Rotwang was made to go through the Iwagakure Ninja Academy as a part of the newest batch of the Genin prospects for the village’s ninja army. After his entry into said Academy, Rotwang progressed through it as fast as he possibly could, all the while ignoring the jeering of his classmates and some of his teachers at how old he was compared to the rest of his peers who were at least 3 years his junior or even more in most cases. Thus, after only a single year in the Iwagakure Ninja Academy, by the time of his 21st birthday, Rotwang graduated at the top of his specific class thanks to the fact that he had already mastered the basics of all the areas of expertise taught to all Academy Students and thus, he had been given a head start of sorts.

    Additionally, when he was not busy with being made to follow the curriculum foisted upon him by the Iwagakure Academy, he secretly continued his auto-didactic studies and along with all the other skills he had mastered and had made part of his repertoire (i.e., Engineering, Puppetry, and Chemistry) he also took up an interest in and quickly mastered the basics of two additional skills, one being the more specialized and advanced art of Fūinjutsu and the other one being the similarly advanced and specialized Sensory art and became proficient enough to deploy them in practice by the time his graduation from the Academy had rolled around. Finally, once this phase of his training was over, Rotwang then took up his place among the Iwagakure ninja army ranks as a freshly minted, albeit somewhat over-aged, Genin ninja. From here, it remains to be seen what will happen to Rotwang and where his life will take him, but it is sure to be an interesting ride all the way.




    ROTWANG C. FRANKENSTEIN (COMPLETE) U9ieEtz




    Basic Psyche:

    In certain aspects of his personality, Rotwang is a rather stereotypical mad scientist just as would any other exemplar of said archetype. For instance, he tends to display a disconcerting level of curiosity as well as excitement about any entity, object, and/or phenomenon that may happen to catch his eye. This trait of his becomes even more apparent if said subject of his fancy is exotic and/or is unfamiliar to him and/or is of the scientific and/or technological variety. Another way in which he is a stereotypical mad scientist is that he is a true intellectual and thus tends to get lost in his thoughts quite frequently and is frequently the first to plunge headlong into analyzing and solving any problem(s) that may confront him in the situation at hand without regard to the danger involved since he loves being a problem-solver and the more complex and/or exotic the problem he faces is, the more apparent his excitement becomes, and as is the case with his curiosity, very often to a highly disturbing level.

    That said, the only sorts of problem types that would even have a chance of catching his interest enough to make him want to analyze and solve them would be the type that are exotic and/or incredibly complex since they alone can give him that intense mental stimulation that he has been so irresistibly addicted to since childhood. Beyond this, yet another way in which Rotwang is a rather stereotypical mad scientist is that, just as would be others of his kind, he is forever obsessed with discovery and acquisition of ever-newer and ever-more knowledge through any means necessary, no matter how unethical and immoral it may be in the eyes of those around him. A side-effect of this is that, again just as would be others of his kind, he too is prone to viewing and/or treating the entire world around him as his own private research lab and its contents (including himself, of course) as being his lab rats to do with as he pleases for the sake of advancing his research.

    Another side-effect of this trait is that he has a predilection for getting so engrossed in his work and/or whatever happens to be the subject of his study at any given time that he frequently forgets things that would be “common sense” to other more normal individuals and these include things such as bodily needs, other minor/auxiliary goals he may have in the situation at hand, and even basic and common social graces such as minding personal space boundaries as well as engaging in polite small talk, though this last part is quite variable in its appearance depending on the dynamics of said situation. Aside from this, yet another way in which Rotwang is a rather stereotypical mad scientist is that, just as would be others of his kind, he always prefers to maintain a highly logical mindset and unfazed body language in the situation at hand despite how traumatic and/or charged it may be (regardless of it polarity [i.e., positive, negative, or mixed]) and even usually prefers to detach himself completely from the overall milieu of the situation at hand and likes to view the various elements therein from a strictly objective P.O.V since it facilitates successful resolution of any problem(s) therein on his part.

    That said, this may or may not make an appearance in said situation, and this depends entirely on the situational dynamics therein. Therefore, to those around him, he frequently tends to come off as hardhearted and distant and this is again due to his basic nature as a logician as well as a “mad science”-type. Apart from this, yet another way in which Rotwang is a rather stereotypical mad scientist is that, just as would be others of his kind, he finds great amusement and takes equally insatiable pleasure in the ever-so-subtle and yet simple to complex manipulation of those around him to his advantage, whether it be a single individual or even multiple, frequently for the purposes of advancing his research efforts and/or other similar interests. This holds true regardless of the nature of the target(s) of said manipulation and/or any sort of connection(s) they may have to him, though in the case of his allies and/or acquaintances, he may just hold back depending on his mood at the time. In addition to this, yet another way in which Rotwang is a rather stereotypical mad scientist is that, just as would be others of his kind, he is always in a creative mood, at least for as long as his body and mind cooperate with him.

    In other words, Rotwang loves to generate novel ideas and then make said ideas into reality, and this holds true whether said idea is of the entity-type, object-type, and/or phenomenon-type, and again has no qualms about breaching commonly accepted ethical and/or moral norms if it means completing these various creations in a successful manner. A side effect of this trait is that this frequently makes him highly resourceful and when combined with his generally incorrigible love of manipulating everything and everyone around him including the situation itself, also tends to give him a preference for reliance on complex strategy and tactics rather than pedestrian and simplistic brute force. Beyond this, yet another way in which Rotwang is a rather stereotypical mad scientist is that, just as would be others of his kind, he frequently behaves in a manner which is explicitly prideful in nature and thus is prone to not only challenging higher authority when it suits his purposes to do so. However, he also tends to be very condescending and disparaging to those whom he believes and/or knows are less capable than himself and/or if they are of the inane sort.

    Apart from this, Rotwang absolutely loves to have fun at the expense of other people and one of the things that brings him great pleasure is to behold others in the throes of discomfiture and/or displeasure of varying types and degrees, but this is never constantly the same from one situation to the next. This holds true whether they be friend or foe, or anyone else in between. To that end, he would do just about anything to make that sort of situation a reality even if that means using all means that happen to be at his disposal. He especially loves to do this to anyone and/or anything that has the gall to interfere with his goals and his pursuit of whatever interests him in the situation at hand, and he usually does it with a seemingly kind and positively angelic smile on his face, all while having the overall mindset of a scheming devil. That said, due to his obsession with aesthetic and style, the methodology he prefers to employ in these situations is always elegant as well as sophisticated and is never even remotely barbaric and/or cruel in nature which he usually prefers to accomplish by framing his methodology in a format that seems beneficial to the victim or at the very least would be innocuous to them, although his unfortunate victim(s) and/or any beholders may and will certainly think otherwise.

    Next, yet another way in which Rotwang is a rather stereotypical mad scientist is that, just as would be others of his kind, he is always highly self-motivated and persevering regardless of the odds of success, especially when his interest happens to have been completely captured by the subject(s) of his current study. However, this does have the side effect of causing him to behave in a highly recalcitrant to the suggestions of those around him, especially if they are of the type designed to dissuade him from his chosen course(s) of action in the situation at hand. The only reason why he will relent is if he realizes on his own that his situational advantage has become wholly untenable for whatever reason. The final way in which Rotwang is a rather stereotypical mad scientist is that, just as would be others of his kind, he is highly eccentric and melodramatic, and so has a nigh-irresistible preference for being “over-the-top” (i.e., theatrical) in his words and even his actions, and never seems to be cognizant of just how disconcerting and/or embarrassing it is or would be for those around him and/or those in his company to bear in the situation at hand. This preference of his is always proportional to his current level of sleep-deprivation and/or undernourishment.

    Despite all these previously mentioned traits, Rotwang is not at all like a typical mad scientist in certain other ways. One of the ways in which he is not at all like a typical mad scientist that he tends to be highly unpredictable when such a mood overtakes him, and in these situations, both his moral alignment and his thought processes that guide his actions and decisions in said situations tend to fluctuate quite erratically, making it impossible for those around him and/or in his acquaintance to paint him as either a hero or villain overall and then prepare accordingly. The other way in which he is not at all like a typical mad scientist is that he prefers to play the part of a “chameleon” when it comes to his relationship to the “system”. In other words, while most other mad scientists tend to throw caution to the winds and operate outside the bounds of the “system”, Rotwang tends to be highly cautious when the situation warrants such action from him, such as if said situation holds any prospect of being disadvantageous and/or hazardous to him and/or his research interests and always prefers to maneuver the situation so that he is the one with the greatest advantage(s) (in both quality and quantity) and degrees of freedom therein, using any means necessary.

    In these situations, he loves to and prefers to manipulate his allies and acquaintances into taking on the dangers in his stead and then convey to him the situation data he needs to resolve any problem(s) in said situation successfully while he remains safe and sound back at base. Another way in which Rotwang is not at all like a typical mad scientist is that he is an incorrigible hedonist, and thus is often strangely obsessed with and finds insatiable pleasure in indulging a variety of hedonistic pursuits (mostly centered around his borderline unhealthy and disturbing obsession with fluffy and jelliform entities and/or objects as well as more traditional ones such as cuisine, drinks, technology, and the like), likely because he was born into great wealth and influence which is, in turn, the case due to his family’s highly exalted socioeconomic status and also due to his various life experiences in this regard. Yet another way in which Rotwang is not at all like a typical mad scientist that he has a strange obsession with observance of sophisticated aesthetics and style and thus tends to be disapproving and even highly critical of and antagonistic towards those who, in his opinion anyway, happen to lack sophisticated aesthetics and style, whether they be friend, foe, etc.

    This is once again likely because he was born into great wealth and influence which is, in turn, the case due to his family’s highly exalted socioeconomic status. Still another way in which Rotwang is not at all like a typical mad scientist is that he is always very evasive and disingenuous when it comes to his words, thoughts, and deeds that are related to anything regarding him and/or his mad science research efforts. The third to last way in which Rotwang is not at all like a typical mad scientist is that he does not waste time monologuing when confronted with those would seek to stop his otherwise inexorable advance towards his main goal(s), regardless of their ethical and/or moral alignment. The second to last way in in which Rotwang is not at all like a typical mad scientist is that he prefers to display speech patterns, behavioral traits, and actions which are totally divorced from each other. For instance, he sometimes loves having a seemingly but not really genuine saintly smile on his face and speaking like a true well-wisher while dealing with his enemies and/or those who try to impede his path to his goals in the situation at hand using heartless brutality or conversely, another example of this is his irresistible preference for displaying the most maniacal and diabolical expression on his face with corresponding speech patterns while performing truly lifesaving medical operations on some patient(s) and/or test subject(s).

    Naturally, Rotwang does these things mostly because he loves to afflict onlookers in his vicinity with the most extreme of shock, terror, and awe and by extension, because he loves to see these types of expressions on their faces, but sometimes he employs these tactics for practical purposes too. Lastly, Rotwang  is also an atypical mad scientist since he prefers instead to work within the “system” and even use it to his advantage. Specifically, he does this by doing things such as presenting a rather convincing but ultimately false façade of him being an exemplary, upstanding, sophisticated, quite innocuous, and even well-bred gentleman whenever he feels that the situation warrants/demands it of him as well as by employing his comprehensive as well as detailed knowledge of and experience with theatrical arts as well as the various loopholes and/or blind spots in its framework. He does this, of course, to safeguard himself and everything that is connected to him from those who would seek to hinder him while simultaneously advancing his interests, research or otherwise, to ever-greater heights (e.g., from the inevitable interference from all the usual do-gooder types).

    You have a UA that increases the costs of items by 50% and then another one that lowers the cost by 50% you need to pick one or the other. Can't have both.

    Living Conduit - if you are trying to use your puppets as the point of origin for jutsu, i.e. channelling chakra to puppet then jutsu is launched from puppet it needs to cost 1 rank higher in chakra not just 5 chakra.

    ROTWANG C. FRANKENSTEIN (COMPLETE) BODiww4




    Experience Advantage (Debt XP: 249 [249 to be paid off]):
    Rotwang was born a prodigy and thus, he starts off with an additional 249 XP above and beyond what would normally be available to him. However, in exchange, he must put at least 50% of all future XP earnings toward paying off this debt before he is free to use them elsewhere and so, he only has the remaining 50% of said future XP earnings to work with for other XP investments.

    -----

    Field Specialist (Choice: Urban):
    Rotwang was born and was also raised almost exclusively in a highly urban environment right from his childhood, so he is always exceptionally better at dealing with NPCs in such environments, causing his effectiveness versus these to be 1 rank higher than normal. However, in exchange, if he is ever outside an urban environment, then he does much worse with all NPCs that he encounters in such a non-urban environment, causing his effectiveness versus these to be 1 rank lower than normal.

    -----

    One-Handed Seals:
    Rotwang was born a prodigy which has allowed him to intuitively learn how to weave handsigns with a single hand for any techniques that require them, leaving his other hand free to use for other purposes as he sees fit. However, in exchange, this causes an unavoidable split in his focus and thus, when he is weaving handsigns this way, he always suffers a 1 tier loss of Coordination for that specific hand.  

    -----

    Mo-Money (Debt Ryō: 100,000 [150,000 to be paid off]):
    Rotwang was born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth as he was born into the ultra-wealthy and influential Frankenstein family, and thus they granted him 100,000 Ryō as a starting point for his financial ventures to use as he sees fit. However, in exchange, he is expected to pay them back with interest, making this amount to be paid off to be 150,000 Ryō and this means that all his future Ryō earnings must be put towards paying off this debt before he is free to use them elsewhere.

    -----

    Crafting Expertise - Engineering:
    Rotwang was born with a keen talent for all things mechanical and he has been tinkering away with such things since childhood which, in turn, has since allowed him to develop the special ability to craft Engineering related items at 1 rank higher than what his current experience or skill set would normally allow for him. However, in exchange, this superior craftsmanship always demands superior crafting material quality which manifests itself as a 50% increase in price for material.

    -----

    Aspiring Businessman:
    Rotwang has an intuitively keen understanding of the business world which lets him construct 2 additional stores above his normal limit and not only provides him with an +10% return on the investments he makes to all his Stores above the normal limit, but also doubles the maximum earnings he can receive from all his Stores per month above the normal limit. However, in exchange for this superior Store quality as well as the related superior investment and earning potential, he must contend with a +50% building cost increase for each of these Stores in his possession always.

    -----

    Solo Leveler:
    Rotwang has always been more comfortable working at his ongoing and ever-burgeoning mad science research and any other projects or ventures by himself rather than in collaboration with others and this has made him highly self-sufficient which manifests itself as a 5 XP bonus on top of the usual 5 XP for each of his solo RP posts. However, in exchange, due to him being much more uncomfortable when working with or being around others, he always suffers from losing 5 XP on each post when posting in threads he does if they consist of 2+ PCs (including himself).

    -----

    Living Conduit:
    Rotwang has always been tinkering with technology of various kinds right from childhood with a special focus/obsession being directed towards all things related to puppetry and this has long since granted him the ability to choose to channel his jutsu through any of his puppets (including his puppet armor) as though he was channeling them through his own body. However, in exchange, since the puppets are inherently nonliving conduits, he must pay 1 rank higher CP cost than the channeled jutsu's base CP cost whenever he chooses to cast any of the jutsu in his repertoire by using this specific method.

    -----

    Reactive Evolution:
    Rotwang has been studying the principles of human anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry and so, he has since developed the ability to apply these principles to his own body as and when necessary by using chakra as a medium to enhance its functionality and this, in turn, allows him to choose to evolve his combative prowess even while amid active combat which manifests as a +1 tier boost that he can apply by paying 5 CP per use to one of these following stats: Strength, Constitution, Speed, or Coordination. That said, this cannot boost the chosen stat beyond A-Rank, and he can only change the boost once per post by paying 5 more CP. However, in exchange, this method of forced short-term adaptation always places a strain on his body while this effect is in play, which manifests itself as a (-) to the three stats that were not boosted in this manner.

    -----

    Social Chameleon:
    Rotwang has been born and raised in a highly urbanized environment right from his childhood and so, he has since learned how to maneuver effectively and conceal himself easily as "just another harmless and featureless face in the crowd", so to speak, thus allowing him to hide his presence from any and all entities that may be  attempting to find him in all environments of this sort which manifests itself as a -1 tier debuff to the Perception or Intelligence of any of these entities solely for the purposes of tracking down his location in such instances. However, in exchange, he has not been able to accrue any experience whatsoever for concealing his presence as well as maneuvering when in any environments that are non-urban in nature, which manifests itself as a +1 tier boost to the Perception or Intelligence to any who are trying to locate him in such non-urban environments.




    ROTWANG C. FRANKENSTEIN (COMPLETE) FB1ojtZ




    Appearance (Written):

    Physique Details:
    Rotwang is a 21-year-old young man (in both physique as well as function) who is 5’ 7” (1.70 m) in height and who weighs in at 148.0 lbs. (67.1 kg), which gives him a lean build overall (w/o his puppet armor equipped onto him). Additionally, he possesses white to light-green brush-like hair that spikes up and which has two locks of it that drape over his face and a pale or sallow complexion. These two physical traits, like his lean build, are also present in him because of the combination of him enduring various stressors from his work and life as well as his proclivity of willful and total ignorance of his basic bodily needs if not forced by external parties to attend to them in a timely manner. The most notable trait of his would be his Chinoike dōjutsu, the Ketsuryūgan, which causes his eyes which normally have black, round pupils and white sclerae to gain a blood-red, horizontal slit pupils as well as blood-red sclerae instead when it is active as shown in the GIF immediately below:

    ROTWANG C. FRANKENSTEIN (COMPLETE) UtFEokl

    The next of the most notable traits about his body is the ever-present pair of dark circles that can be seen under his normally rust-colored eyes (when he does not have his dōjutsu active) which constantly haunt him due to his obsessively workaholic nature when it comes to his ongoing and ever-burgeoning mad science research pursuits. This is exacerbated, albeit to a lesser extent, by the stressors he has to endure in his publicly known profession of being a respected, highly talented, and also fully qualified physician-scientist as well as his role as the next-in-line CEO of SteinCorp which is the famous multinational business conglomerate that is owned and operated by his family and the associated business group (i.e., the Frankenstein family and business group).

    The last of the most notable traits about his body are the pair of, symmetrically diagonal, healed suture lines that are present on top of his inner eyebrows and the multifarious blemishes that mar the rest of his body which include various chemical stains, smaller scars, suture lines, and wounds, and he received all these from his ongoing and ever-burgeoning mad science research. These have been accumulating throughout his past and they only keep increasing as time goes on, but the only one of these blemishes that is normally visible is the suture lines present on his face.

    -----

    Attire Details:
    Rotwang can almost always be seen wearing his work attire which is always composed of the following ensemble. The first piece is his white lab coat which always possesses some sort of chemical stain or another in various areas of its overall form. The second piece is a bipartite one consisting of a formal long-sleeved shirt along with a formal necktie which is always knotted in the Eldredge style as per the normal conventions regarding their use. These two may vary in shade every so often or even daily depending on his mood at the time. The third piece are his formal or semi-formal pants that he wears below the formal shirt that he wears above. Like his formal shirt and formal necktie, these pants may also vary in shade every so often or even daily, again, depending on his mood at the time.

    The fifth piece of this ensemble are his fully custom-made, polarized goggles which have been designed and crafted by him for his use in various situations. The last piece are his surgical gloves which he wears to protect his hands in various situations and these, like some other pieces in this default attire ensemble, two may vary in shade every so often or even daily depending on his mood at the time. That said, even though this ensemble is his default choice, he will still vary his outfit to something else if the situation at hand should demand it of him. Finally, he always prefers to have his equipment and accessories on his person for ease of transport and to afford him the ability to access them quickly whenever he should have need of them in some situation or another.

    ROTWANG C. FRANKENSTEIN (COMPLETE) KXnjAtD




    Rotwang Chinoike Frankenstein was born to a man named “Jekyll Frankenstein”, a foreigner from a distant land, and “Ino Chinoike”, a woman who hailed from the Chinoike clan of Kumogakure no Sato, or the Hidden Cloud Village, one of the five great ninja villages in the ninja world. The two reasons why his father, Jekyll, was accepted by the elders of the Chinoike clan was because he had a great deal of wealth which the elders realized could be quite useful to the clan’s future prosperity and because his mother, Ino, was quite taken with Jekyll and refused to give up on their imminent union. After that, in due course, Rotwang was brought into the world as part of the newest generation of the Chinoike clan members. Early on in his childhood, Rotwang was discovered to possess several innate talents ranging from the superior mental and physical capacity that he had inherited from his both of his parents to all those mechanically oriented talents that he had inherited specifically from his father along with the innately superior aptitude for the various basic ninja arts that he had inherited from his mother.

    Aside from this, as he went along, he was also found to possess an intuitively high acumen for business and economics theory, so along with the basic theory regarding each of the three central ninja arts (i.e., Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu), he was also made to undergo rigorous tutelage in the various aspects of the business world in preparation for that future wherein he would take over as the next-in-line CEO of SteinCorp, the business conglomerate owned and ran by his family. Beyond that, he also put himself through many auto-didactic study sessions wherein he began to instruct himself in the various secrets of Engineering, Puppetry, and other mechanically oriented matters as well as other scientific disciplines like Chemistry. Naturally, in addition to all this tutelage, since Rotwang had been born into the ultra-wealthy as well as influential Frankenstein family, the elders of this family (i.e., his father’s side) and of the Chinoike clan (i.e., his mother’s side) which had long enjoyed exalted socioeconomic status in Kumogakure ensured that he was instructed rigorously in various areas of knowledge/expertise such as high society etiquette, linguistics, fine arts, and so on which were not related to ninja life, but were in accordance with what would be expected from any such heir to a wealthy family.

    However, his mother and her side of the family did not instruct him in the secret arts exclusive to the Chinoike clan since they wanted him to develop a good foundation in the basics arts that every ninja was expected to know thoroughly and was expected to be able to wield easily at any time (i.e., Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu), but they did recognize the fact that he did indeed have innate talent for it which they insisted that he wait till later to cultivate at his leisure. So, despite his keen interest in these secret arts which was as obsessive as his fascination with technology, science, and so on, he was not able to make any progress in this area. Thus, in this manner, time marched on for Rotwang wherein he went from being a mere boy to a young man and during this time, he was not only trained in the universal ninja arts but also continued to train himself in the Engineering, Puppetry, and Chemistry disciplines as well. Along with this, he was also made to continue his exhaustive learning in business, economics, and related matters as well as his training in those various areas of expertise related to being the heir to a wealthy family. Alas, this relatively peaceful and uneventful period was marred by certain unsavory occurrences which then left Rotwang with the phobia which still haunts him in the present, those being his acrophobia for heights of 300 m or more due to almost falling to his death off a cliff of that height near his clan compound while he was out and about doing his auto-didactic natural science studies, but which he ended up being rescued from because some of his clan members had been incidentally present in the area then.

    Apart from this, during this time, he also acquired most of the rest of the obsessive mad scientist personality that he has in the present as well as his unique personal quirks such as his incorrigible hedonism and his obsession with all things jelliform and fluffy. After that, Rotwang then continued to go about his life from one year to the next until his 20th birthday. At this point, Rotwang’s parents and clan decided to take matters into their own hands and to force him to attend the Kumogakure Ninja Academy to prevent him from whiling away any more time on his auto-didactic studies, but before they could, Kumogakure came under attack by the legendary figure known as Dragon King Raijin who had apparently laid waste to the key facilities in the village and so, his Academy debut was put on hold due to him and his family being forced to flee from this harbinger of destruction for their own safety. The land that they chose to flee to was none other than Iwagakure no Sato, or the Hidden Stone Village. As was expected by them, they were met with a great deal of suspicion and resistance from its denizens from the outset due to Kumogakure having been part of the alliance of Kiri-Konoha-Kumogakure which had long stood against Iwagakure on inimical terms, but they persevered onward despite that and then, in the coming months, they managed to prove their newfound loyalty to Iwagakure and successfully earned their permanent citizenship therein.

    Once that was done, as an additional gesture of goodwill and good faith, Rotwang was made to go through the Iwagakure Ninja Academy as a part of the newest batch of the Genin prospects for the village’s ninja army. After his entry into said Academy, Rotwang progressed through it as fast as he possibly could, all the while ignoring the jeering of his classmates and some of his teachers at how old he was compared to the rest of his peers who were at least 3 years his junior or even more in most cases. Thus, after only a single year in the Iwagakure Ninja Academy, by the time of his 21st birthday, Rotwang graduated at the top of his specific class thanks to the fact that he had already mastered the basics of all the areas of expertise taught to all Academy Students and thus, he had been given a head start of sorts.

    Additionally, when he was not busy with being made to follow the curriculum foisted upon him by the Iwagakure Academy, he secretly continued his auto-didactic studies and along with all the other skills he had mastered and had made part of his repertoire (i.e., Engineering, Puppetry, and Chemistry) he also took up an interest in and quickly mastered the basics of two additional skills, one being the more specialized and advanced art of Fūinjutsu and the other one being the similarly advanced and specialized Sensory art and became proficient enough to deploy them in practice by the time his graduation from the Academy had rolled around. Finally, once this phase of his training was over, Rotwang then took up his place among the Iwagakure ninja army ranks as a freshly minted, albeit somewhat over-aged, Genin ninja. From here, it remains to be seen what will happen to Rotwang and where his life will take him, but it is sure to be an interesting ride all the way.




    ROTWANG C. FRANKENSTEIN (COMPLETE) U9ieEtz




    Basic Psyche:

    In certain aspects of his personality, Rotwang is a rather stereotypical mad scientist just as would any other exemplar of said archetype. For instance, he tends to display a disconcerting level of curiosity as well as excitement about any entity, object, and/or phenomenon that may happen to catch his eye. This trait of his becomes even more apparent if said subject of his fancy is exotic and/or is unfamiliar to him and/or is of the scientific and/or technological variety. Another way in which he is a stereotypical mad scientist is that he is a true intellectual and thus tends to get lost in his thoughts quite frequently and is frequently the first to plunge headlong into analyzing and solving any problem(s) that may confront him in the situation at hand without regard to the danger involved since he loves being a problem-solver and the more complex and/or exotic the problem he faces is, the more apparent his excitement becomes, and as is the case with his curiosity, very often to a highly disturbing level.

    That said, the only sorts of problem types that would even have a chance of catching his interest enough to make him want to analyze and solve them would be the type that are exotic and/or incredibly complex since they alone can give him that intense mental stimulation that he has been so irresistibly addicted to since childhood. Beyond this, yet another way in which Rotwang is a rather stereotypical mad scientist is that, just as would be others of his kind, he is forever obsessed with discovery and acquisition of ever-newer and ever-more knowledge through any means necessary, no matter how unethical and immoral it may be in the eyes of those around him. A side-effect of this is that, again just as would be others of his kind, he too is prone to viewing and/or treating the entire world around him as his own private research lab and its contents (including himself, of course) as being his lab rats to do with as he pleases for the sake of advancing his research.

    Another side-effect of this trait is that he has a predilection for getting so engrossed in his work and/or whatever happens to be the subject of his study at any given time that he frequently forgets things that would be “common sense” to other more normal individuals and these include things such as bodily needs, other minor/auxiliary goals he may have in the situation at hand, and even basic and common social graces such as minding personal space boundaries as well as engaging in polite small talk, though this last part is quite variable in its appearance depending on the dynamics of said situation. Aside from this, yet another way in which Rotwang is a rather stereotypical mad scientist is that, just as would be others of his kind, he always prefers to maintain a highly logical mindset and unfazed body language in the situation at hand despite how traumatic and/or charged it may be (regardless of it polarity [i.e., positive, negative, or mixed]) and even usually prefers to detach himself completely from the overall milieu of the situation at hand and likes to view the various elements therein from a strictly objective P.O.V since it facilitates successful resolution of any problem(s) therein on his part.

    That said, this may or may not make an appearance in said situation, and this depends entirely on the situational dynamics therein. Therefore, to those around him, he frequently tends to come off as hardhearted and distant and this is again due to his basic nature as a logician as well as a “mad science”-type. Apart from this, yet another way in which Rotwang is a rather stereotypical mad scientist is that, just as would be others of his kind, he finds great amusement and takes equally insatiable pleasure in the ever-so-subtle and yet simple to complex manipulation of those around him to his advantage, whether it be a single individual or even multiple, frequently for the purposes of advancing his research efforts and/or other similar interests. This holds true regardless of the nature of the target(s) of said manipulation and/or any sort of connection(s) they may have to him, though in the case of his allies and/or acquaintances, he may just hold back depending on his mood at the time. In addition to this, yet another way in which Rotwang is a rather stereotypical mad scientist is that, just as would be others of his kind, he is always in a creative mood, at least for as long as his body and mind cooperate with him.

    In other words, Rotwang loves to generate novel ideas and then make said ideas into reality, and this holds true whether said idea is of the entity-type, object-type, and/or phenomenon-type, and again has no qualms about breaching commonly accepted ethical and/or moral norms if it means completing these various creations in a successful manner. A side effect of this trait is that this frequently makes him highly resourceful and when combined with his generally incorrigible love of manipulating everything and everyone around him including the situation itself, also tends to give him a preference for reliance on complex strategy and tactics rather than pedestrian and simplistic brute force. Beyond this, yet another way in which Rotwang is a rather stereotypical mad scientist is that, just as would be others of his kind, he frequently behaves in a manner which is explicitly prideful in nature and thus is prone to not only challenging higher authority when it suits his purposes to do so. However, he also tends to be very condescending and disparaging to those whom he believes and/or knows are less capable than himself and/or if they are of the inane sort.

    Apart from this, Rotwang absolutely loves to have fun at the expense of other people and one of the things that brings him great pleasure is to behold others in the throes of discomfiture and/or displeasure of varying types and degrees, but this is never constantly the same from one situation to the next. This holds true whether they be friend or foe, or anyone else in between. To that end, he would do just about anything to make that sort of situation a reality even if that means using all means that happen to be at his disposal. He especially loves to do this to anyone and/or anything that has the gall to interfere with his goals and his pursuit of whatever interests him in the situation at hand, and he usually does it with a seemingly kind and positively angelic smile on his face, all while having the overall mindset of a scheming devil. That said, due to his obsession with aesthetic and style, the methodology he prefers to employ in these situations is always elegant as well as sophisticated and is never even remotely barbaric and/or cruel in nature which he usually prefers to accomplish by framing his methodology in a format that seems beneficial to the victim or at the very least would be innocuous to them, although his unfortunate victim(s) and/or any beholders may and will certainly think otherwise.

    Next, yet another way in which Rotwang is a rather stereotypical mad scientist is that, just as would be others of his kind, he is always highly self-motivated and persevering regardless of the odds of success, especially when his interest happens to have been completely captured by the subject(s) of his current study. However, this does have the side effect of causing him to behave in a highly recalcitrant to the suggestions of those around him, especially if they are of the type designed to dissuade him from his chosen course(s) of action in the situation at hand. The only reason why he will relent is if he realizes on his own that his situational advantage has become wholly untenable for whatever reason. The final way in which Rotwang is a rather stereotypical mad scientist is that, just as would be others of his kind, he is highly eccentric and melodramatic, and so has a nigh-irresistible preference for being “over-the-top” (i.e., theatrical) in his words and even his actions, and never seems to be cognizant of just how disconcerting and/or embarrassing it is or would be for those around him and/or those in his company to bear in the situation at hand. This preference of his is always proportional to his current level of sleep-deprivation and/or undernourishment.

    Despite all these previously mentioned traits, Rotwang is not at all like a typical mad scientist in certain other ways. One of the ways in which he is not at all like a typical mad scientist that he tends to be highly unpredictable when such a mood overtakes him, and in these situations, both his moral alignment and his thought processes that guide his actions and decisions in said situations tend to fluctuate quite erratically, making it impossible for those around him and/or in his acquaintance to paint him as either a hero or villain overall and then prepare accordingly. The other way in which he is not at all like a typical mad scientist is that he prefers to play the part of a “chameleon” when it comes to his relationship to the “system”. In other words, while most other mad scientists tend to throw caution to the winds and operate outside the bounds of the “system”, Rotwang tends to be highly cautious when the situation warrants such action from him, such as if said situation holds any prospect of being disadvantageous and/or hazardous to him and/or his research interests and always prefers to maneuver the situation so that he is the one with the greatest advantage(s) (in both quality and quantity) and degrees of freedom therein, using any means necessary.

    In these situations, he loves to and prefers to manipulate his allies and acquaintances into taking on the dangers in his stead and then convey to him the situation data he needs to resolve any problem(s) in said situation successfully while he remains safe and sound back at base. Another way in which Rotwang is not at all like a typical mad scientist is that he is an incorrigible hedonist, and thus is often strangely obsessed with and finds insatiable pleasure in indulging a variety of hedonistic pursuits (mostly centered around his borderline unhealthy and disturbing obsession with fluffy and jelliform entities and/or objects as well as more traditional ones such as cuisine, drinks, technology, and the like), likely because he was born into great wealth and influence which is, in turn, the case due to his family’s highly exalted socioeconomic status and also due to his various life experiences in this regard. Yet another way in which Rotwang is not at all like a typical mad scientist that he has a strange obsession with observance of sophisticated aesthetics and style and thus tends to be disapproving and even highly critical of and antagonistic towards those who, in his opinion anyway, happen to lack sophisticated aesthetics and style, whether they be friend, foe, etc.

    This is once again likely because he was born into great wealth and influence which is, in turn, the case due to his family’s highly exalted socioeconomic status. Still another way in which Rotwang is not at all like a typical mad scientist is that he is always very evasive and disingenuous when it comes to his words, thoughts, and deeds that are related to anything regarding him and/or his mad science research efforts. The third to last way in which Rotwang is not at all like a typical mad scientist is that he does not waste time monologuing when confronted with those would seek to stop his otherwise inexorable advance towards his main goal(s), regardless of their ethical and/or moral alignment. The second to last way in in which Rotwang is not at all like a typical mad scientist is that he prefers to display speech patterns, behavioral traits, and actions which are totally divorced from each other. For instance, he sometimes loves having a seemingly but not really genuine saintly smile on his face and speaking like a true well-wisher while dealing with his enemies and/or those who try to impede his path to his goals in the situation at hand using heartless brutality or conversely, another example of this is his irresistible preference for displaying the most maniacal and diabolical expression on his face with corresponding speech patterns while performing truly lifesaving medical operations on some patient(s) and/or test subject(s).

    Naturally, Rotwang does these things mostly because he loves to afflict onlookers in his vicinity with the most extreme of shock, terror, and awe and by extension, because he loves to see these types of expressions on their faces, but sometimes he employs these tactics for practical purposes too. Lastly, Rotwang  is also an atypical mad scientist since he prefers instead to work within the “system” and even use it to his advantage. Specifically, he does this by doing things such as presenting a rather convincing but ultimately false façade of him being an exemplary, upstanding, sophisticated, quite innocuous, and even well-bred gentleman whenever he feels that the situation warrants/demands it of him as well as by employing his comprehensive as well as detailed knowledge of and experience with theatrical arts as well as the various loopholes and/or blind spots in its framework. He does this, of course, to safeguard himself and everything that is connected to him from those who would seek to hinder him while simultaneously advancing his interests, research or otherwise, to ever-greater heights (e.g., from the inevitable interference from all the usual do-gooder types).
