I have been very nervous about this BUT I AM GONNA BE POSTING MY BLAZBLUE OC SHRAPNEL THANKS TO ENCOURAGEMENT FROM @nkn0va AND I REALLY HOPE THE FEW PEOPLE WHO WILL PROBABLY SEE THIS REALLY ENJOY IT :D

To start off, Shrapnel - also known by her real name, Shizuka Kaji, is a loud, abrasive woman who works as a Lieutenant Colonel in the NOL. She's got quite the mouth on her, ready to just dish out whatever not-so-good insults she could conjure up in her head at the moment. While usually she wouldn't have the bite to make up for her bark, she's used Ars Magus to make these cool little things called grenades, and she's always itching to just throw some out even if it's unnecessary! That being said - she has a serious soft spot for the Imperator Librarius, Izanami, bending to every single one of her whims even if it could cost Shrapnel her own life. Shizuka has a deep love for Izanami, being utterly obsessed with the woman, the entire reason she became Lieutenant Colonel was to get closer to Izanami. Before she saw the Imperator for the first time, she was just a Corporal and a rather quiet girl, keeping to herself and never speaking unless spoken to - but the moment she looked at death itself in all her glory, something in her brain clicked, she realized she needed something to change if she was going to be noticed. Thus, she went to brainstorming, eventually landing on the idea to make bombs, and adopting a new persona - Shrapnel. Through the sheer destructive power of her bombs, she managed to climb up the ladder until eventually becoming Lieutenant Colonel of the Engineering Department, something she's not happy about because she has to be around Relius Clover of all people. It didn't matter, though. She finally had the one thing she's craved in her life - control. Her high status in the NOL made her feel powerful, something she's basically never felt in her childhood, she was always so non-confrontational and always just went with the flow, but now - as Shrapnel - she could finally feel like she had atleast one person under her thumb at all times, it was a thrilling feeling to the woman. Eventually, she had scheduled a meeting in private with the Imperator by some miracle, and that's when she had confessed to the woman: how she fell in love at first sight, how she's basically changed herself beyond recognition for this oppurtunity, etc etc. When the Imperator reciprocated, she was over the moon, her life was finally complete! But because I don't like my OCs being happy, she later felt pretty miserable in this relationship - while she didn't know Izanami was unfeeling, she did know Izanami didn't really love her, Shrapnel was more like a dog to the Imperator, something she could just command and it would listen perfectly, not even questioning her master. Shrapnel just can't seem to pull herself away however, the Imperator's soft, sweet voice always manages to just keep her locked into the relationship, Shrapnel was just utterly enchanted by this woman because in all honesty - she does love her, she does want to be in a relationship with her, she doesn't care about the Day of Reckoning or whatever, this woman was literally perfect to her. Which is why she wants to use the power of The Azure to make her relationship with Izanami stop being so one-sided, so that Izanami could finally love her as much as she loved Izanami. Perhaps, with the power of The Azure, they could even get married...

Now enough of that ITS TIME FOR GAMEPLAY STUFF!!!

Health: 11,000

Drive: Party Tricks

Shrapnel's D normals will fill a bar called Frenzy. The Frenzy Bar is segmented into 4 parts, each requiring a certain amount of explosions to fill. Frenzy is built up when a grenade EXPLODES, meaning she can freely throw out her D normals and so long as she's not hit during them, she'll build up Frenzy, all of her Specials and Distortion Drives cost varying amounts of Frenzy. With each stack of Frenzy she gains, the gets new buffs:

4 explosions/1 Segment = faster walk speed

6 explosions/2 Segments = faster run speed

8 explosions/3 Segments = double air dash

12 explosions/4 Segments = her A, B and C normals have a faster startup and are safer on block (anywhere between 3-5 Frames depending on the normal)

Her grenades can be deflected back to her, in which case her opponent becomes immune to the deflected grenade while Shrapnel will take damage, Shrapnel can hit it back to send it to remove her opponent's invincibility while regaining her own, which can lead to fun games of hot potato with your friends. Even if you do get hit by your own grenade, you still build up Frenzy!

Overdrive: The Big Boom

Her D normals now hit twice, meaning they account for 2 explosions instead of 1, so she fills her Frenzy bar faster!

5A = a rather unique 5A in that she takes off her tie and just whips you with it

5B = ELBOW THE FACE!!!

5C = just fucking socks the other player in the jaw lmao, travels forward a bit, fatal counters

5D = travels backwards and throws a grenade that explodes shortly after, it is NOT grab immune like a backdash

2A = a poke! like, a LITERAL poke, not an actual poke-

2B = just your standard low, she kicks at the opponent's feet

2C = a sweep where she uses one of her bandoliers to trip the opponent!

2D = throwing a bomb into the air! ...this move anti airs if you couldnt tell

3C = a sweep thats just better than 2C where she explodes a grenade rather than tripping the opponent, it does cost 1 Frenzy though

6A = slap.

6B = sol5K.jpeg (except its nowhere near as good because its basically just ragna's jesus kick)

6C = she takes off one of the bandoliers and just whips you with it, if you do 6[C] she'll do it multiple times but be pretty minus

6D = throws a grenade to the ground that explodes later, supposed to be used on hard knockdown!

J.A = youre not gonna believe this but... SHE DOES A PUNCH!

J.B = conks you over the head with one of her grenades

J.C = making azrael proud by using her cape to smack the opponent

J.2C = a "divekick" where she just nosedives straight into the ground

J.D = drops a grenade straight down

Throw = grabbing the opponent by the neck and then just throwing a grenade straight at their face (its inactive)

Back throw = after the grab lands, she leaps over them and then gently nudges them backwards, making them fall over

Air throw = she wraps one of the bandoliers around you and then as she whips it to the ground it quickly unravels and forces you straight down

Counter Assault = same animation as 6B

Crush Trigger = when charging she reels her fist back, even comically lifting her sleeve up before just diving into you like kaguya's 3C in uni

Taunt = sits down, pulls out a blank grenade, painting its features on while insulting you

SPECIALS:

Yale Dive

236B = Shrapnel throws a bomb behind her that quickly explodes and sends her flying towards her opponent, can be cancelled into any 5A, 5B or 5C. Costs 2 Frenzy

Macrae Strap

214A = a short range move where she straps one of her bandoliers onto her opponent that will explodr after approximately 180 frames have passed and Shrapnel hasnt taken any damage. Costs 2 Frenzy

J. Rains Launch

623A = Shrapnel's best launcher, throws 3 grenades below herself and the opponent which sends them both flying into the air, allowing Shrapnel to string together air combos. Costs 4 Frenzy

Mills Bash

236D = Shrapnel jumps into the air and slams her fist into the opponent, at the same time a grenade rolls out of her sleeve and explodes. Costs 3 Frenzy, is an overhead

Vyacheslav Ruin

42136D = a VERY potent command grab where she grabs them by their arm, uses the same trick from her 2C, except she sets all the grenades on the bandolier to detonate. Costs 6 Frenzy

DISTORTION DRIVES:

Burning Phillips

236236B = a reversal super where she kicks her opponent back and then jumps on top of them, all dumping all the grenades from her pockets until her and the opponent get shot up into the air from all the booms, knocking them all the way back to midscreen. During OD she throws one of her bandoliers in there for good measure. Costs 7 Frenzy and 50 meter

Cluster of Butterflies

214214A = Shrapnel jumps into the air and lingers there, spinning around as grenades fly all over the field under her, exploding one by one as a whiff punish, during OD a massive explosion occurs under her. Costs 9 Frenzy and 50 meter

Whitehead Phosphorous

632146D = Shrapnel decides she wants to commit a war crime and use the highly painful white phosphorous on her opponent, this super will lock down an area and linger over wherever it was planted, which can force an opponent to block while also taking chip, during OD it just gains more hits and deals extra chip damage. Costs 10 Frenzy and 100 meter

ASTRAL HEAT:

Li'l Oppenheimer

Shrapnel throws a grenade at the opponent's head, knocking them unconscious. Afterwards she straps a bandolier to them, making sure it's wrapped extra tight so they can't move, then after that she drags them to a forest, waiting for them to wake up for her special surprise. Once they wake up, she leaps down from a tree branch, all the grenades in her bandoliers and her pockets falling down. Once she lands, she quickly runs off and remotely detonates all the grenades, marvelling at the destruction she has caused, thinking about kissing her lover in front of the newly made wildfire...

The namesakes for all the moves:

Robert Yale the father of the smoke bomb

Macrae Strap is named after Stuart Macrae the inventor of the sticky bomb

Gabriel J. Rains invented the landmine

William Mills made the frag grenade

Vyacheslav Ruin is named after the inventor of the molotov cocktail, Vyacheslav Molotov

Burning Phillips is named after Phillips Petroleum Company who patented the C-4

Cluster of Butterflies was named after both cluster bombs and butterfly bombs

Whitehead Phosphorous is named after both white phosphorous and the inventor of the torpedo Robert Whithead

The name for the astral comes from the localized name for the JoJo stand Aerosmith, which is Li'l Bomber, and of course Oppenheimer

May or may not make one of these for my uni2 oc next :>
