Character Info
Character Name: Joachim Valentine
Canon: Shadow Hearts
Character Age: Over 400 years
Personality: (Just who your character is and what their role might be. Two or three brief paragraphs summing up all the major points or a bulleted list is fine)
Chosen Position: Ranger, civilian, villain, rogue Ranger villain? If a civilian or villain, briefly describe how they'll contribute to the game---as a teacher? Minor antagonist living outside Angel Grove? Camping out at the villains' palace on the moon?
Powers: Ranger powers are assumed if you mark your character as a Ranger. Any powers your character is carrying over from canon/their home go here. Your character might also gain a power as a Ranger or a villain---feel free to add a power such shooting water or fire from hands, growing protective scaly skin, or the ability to shoot sonic sound waves to your character. These small abilities will be accessible whether your character is morphed or not. The Power does mysterious things sometimes!

Ranger Form (if applicable)
Power Morpher: What form does it take? Does it double as a communicator? If not, a wrist communicator will be issued.
Ranger Uniform: Briefly describe your Ranger's uniform---primary color, trim, helmet design (should match the Zord). If you're apping a canon Ranger or Sentai character, just linking a picture is fine. If you want to draw or shoop a picture, that's fine too.
Ranger Personal Weapon: Your character's small handheld weapon.
Ranger Zord: Your character's Zord. Just describe its basic shape (the animal/vehicle/whatever it's based on and how square it looks, it doesn't need to be a perfect description).

Sample:
Show us a sample of your writing! Keep in mind that the format here is prose. If you have a past prose thread with your character, feel free to link to it. Even bracket threads will do if your past thread has enough description that it would be a decent prose tag if you removed the brackets. As long as it's readable with functional descriptions (we're not looking for multiple paragraphs every tag, and a whole prose tag can be two or three sentences), you're fine.

If you need or want to write a fresh prose sample, here are some suggested prompts to get you started, but anything's fair game and it doesn't have to be based in the game world. About 200 words should do if you're just writing a single post:
-Your character's reaction when the smoothie machine at the juice bar explodes
-Your character's reaction to their first morph
-Your character's favorite or least favorite memory.
-The first thing your character will do when they get home

--------
A pro wrestler, a vampire, and Keith's brother. He's an extremely powerful
fighter by the time you get him, and most ppl would drop Gepetto for him(poor
Gepetto..). Well as strong as he looks, he's bullied by Anastasia frequently
later on. Joachim at his Great Question form actually has the strongest
Physical/Special Attack in the whole game(around twice as much as Kurando), but
unlike Yuri and Kurando, he is unable to change into this form at will and it
happens randomly. Yea you can use Getitup! to forcefully change him but that
items don't come around too often. His another specialty is his Muscle Arts
which gives him some skills to boot. Out of the 3 melee fighters, Joachim is my
least favourite because of his unstable morphing, eventho he possesses the
strongest attack power.

Golden Bat-
Has super attack, but with very low amount of HP. Useful in some fights, but
definitely not bosses. Changed when the Gold Line hits the original point. Can
also be forcefully changed into a bat by using Bat's Gold.

Invisible-
Has better evasion, not much better with the normal Joachim generally. Changed
when the Rainbow Line meets the original point at Joachytm. Can be forcefully
changed by using Strongoids.

Grand Papillon-
Has a boost in all stats, with no negative disadvantages. It's a very good form
to fight against bosses. Joachim will change into Grand Papillon when the 2
lines, Gold Line and Rainbow Line meet at Joachythm. Can be forcefully changed
by using Getitup!.

Great Question-
Super form, Joachim at this form is actually the strongest physical attacker in
the game. Bad thing is it's random and you can't use it all the time, unlike
Yuri's fusion. Still, with a Getitup! you can forcefully change him into this
form for boss fights. You will get this form after completing the Man Festival
sidequest.

Another special thing about Joachim is that his weapon are all gotten free by
snatching ppl's belongings. Here are the list of his weapons and their
locations:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Locker |Port of Southampton, beside Gama's ring at the lower left corner|
|------------|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|Red Mailbox |Wales, when you revisit it, check the mailbox beside Roger's |
| |house |
|------------|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|Earthen Pipe|St. Marguerite Island, room where you fought Oscar |
|------------|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|Frozen Tuna |Petrograd, after you fight Night Queen, it's at the open square |
| |outside Anastasia's palace, at the lower left corner |
|------------|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|Giant Pillar|Yokohama Brick Warehouses. It's in one of the warehouses |
|------------|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|Emcee's Desk|Nihonbashi, near Gama's ring |
|------------|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|Clay Idol |Inugami Village, it's lying at the stone path leading to the |
| |waterfall(it's the path before you enter the hole) |
|------------|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|Dark Tower |Le Havre, Joachim's place. After beating Astaroth at Immortal |
| |Mountain, revisit that place. You'll find Joachim's sister, a |
| |peach bat. Fight her and win and you'll get this item. Be warned|
| |, she'll use an extremely strong attack on her 4th turn(altho it|
| |said it's the 5th), so either you take out her before her 4th |
| |turn or use a Replacement Man, blocking generally doesn't work |
|------------|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|Nautilus |Joachim's ultimate weapon, you'll get it on the way when doing |
| |the Fort of Regrets sidequest |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------
|Judgement Ring|
--------------
Has a maximum of 5 attacks, not as evenly distributed as Yuri's but it's ok.
You'll need to get used of his ring ASAP because you'll be using it almost all
the time.

-----------
|Muscle Arts|
-----------
Muscle Arts are special skill for Joachim. You start with Drain Touch, further
skills can be learnt by fighting Gama, which can be found when you reach Port
of Southampton.

The first 2 skills, Grand Slam, and Deathron Hammer can be learnt at
Southampton by fighting Gama. The final skill, Artem Buster, however can only
be learnt when you reach Nihonbashi.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Drain Touch |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|20 MP, Drains one enemy's Hp |
| |
|Start with this by default. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Grand Slam |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|36 MP, Non-class Physical Damage. Single/4 hits/knockback |
| |
|To learn this skill, beat Great Gama for the first time at Port of |
|Southampton. Equip Leonardo's Bear and fight him, it shouldn't be too tough |
|and it's definitely doable when you just reach Southampton. Keep in mind his |
|Grand Slam has a chance to kill you instantly which is why you need |
|Leonardo's Bear. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Deathtron Hammer |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|72 MP, Non-class Physical Damage. Single/15 hits/knockback |
| |
|Beating Gama for the second time at Southampton will get you this skill. |
|However, there's a catch. Gama will attempt to use a Third Key at his third |
|turn, which will kill you instantly if you do not block. I don't really |
|recommend getting this skill right away, because he might prove too tough at |
|the level you just reach Southampton. Come back when your around 15+, or do |
|it before you go to Japan. Even then, you'll still not guaranteed a win with |
|his Third Key. To counter it, either you block with a health amount of HP, or|
|you use a Replacement Man, or you turn into a bat and kill him before his |
|third turn. Beat him the second time and you'll be rewarded with this neat |
|skill. Note: It can be gotten at Nihonbashi, had you not beated him a second |
|time at Southampton. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Artem Buster |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|88 MP, Earth Physical Damage. Circular, large/1 hit/Anti-ground/knockback |
| |
|Can be gotten after you met Gama at Nihonbashi. Beat him for the third time |
|and he'll give you this skill. Similar to the second fight, he'll use a Fifth|
|Key on his fifth turn, but at the time you reach him, you should be able to |
|survive by guarding his attack with a good amount of HP, either way you can |
|try beating him before he uses the key by changing into a bat or use a |
|Replacement Man. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------
|Ultimate Weapon|
---------------
Nautilus-
A timeless vessel that continues it journey through the sea of the stars. A
gentleman's agreement prevents its powerful weapons from being used.

1. Do the Fort of Regrets sidequest and you'll get this item on the way.

--------------
|Ultimate Armor|
--------------
Rose Bondage-
Starkly menacing male bondage gear. Roses on each shoulder exude male
pheromones that cause other men to become helplessly drawn to the wearer.

1. Meet Lottery Members #2-#16.
2. Go to Joachim's place at Le Havre, Keith will be there.
3. Play his lottery, his red contains this ultimate armor. His ring might
speeds up or slows down randomly, but if you hit a few degrees from the red
it should land. Takes some luck and some practice.

------------
|Special Item|
------------
a) Gold Band-
A band into which 12 martial artists of old poured their passion. Imbued with
their spirit and smells, it reverberates with a manly heart.

In short it makes Joachim turn into a Golden Bat more often.

1. Complete Believer Level 3 of the Solomon's Trials.

b) Prism Band-
Band set with mysterious crystals that emit electrical waves. If worn for long
periods, the brain fills with a strange sap, and the world turns to pink.

Makes it easier for Joachim to turn into Invisible.

1. Lottery Member #11's red item. She's inside Hermitage, in the second room
at the East Hallway.

c) Electro Band-
The Gold Band and Prism Band merged. A massive amount of deadly radiation is
emitted, causing nosebleeds in normal people and euphoria in vampires.

Makes Joachim easier to turn into Grand Papillon/Great Question. Before you do
the Man Festival sidequest, Joachim can only change into Grand Papillon so the
description says Grand Papillon, but after you do the sidequest, the
description will change into Great Question because Joachim no longer has the
Grand Papillon form.

1. Complete Embodiment Level 2 of the Solomon's Trials.

d) Mask of Question(Key Items)-
Mask of honor given to the winner at the Man Festival. Still holds the sweaty
odor of the first winner. All men dream of owning this most powerful morph
item.

Makes Joachim turn into Great Question, instead of Grand Papillon.

1. Beat Great Question at Level 100 of the Man Festival.
