I'll give you a hint, the character's name is Kenji, so it's one letter off


So he is going to keep saying he needs healing?

Well, he may be able to defend himself from bullets using his katana because of his cybernetic strength. What I mean from a 'normal human' is that there are limitations, he can get tired several minutes later if he is still defending himself from bullets using his katana.

It's not a question of strength so much as a question of reflexes (as bullets tend to travel pretty fast). If he's a normal human and doesn't have superhuman reflexes to the extent that's he's literally faster than a speeding bullet than he shouldn't be able to deflect bullets away with his katana. And to what extent can he deflect bullets away? Is it just useful for semi-automatic weapons, or can he chop his way through machine gun bullets without a problem?

For deflecting bullets using katana, it's only useful for semi-automatic weapons, sniper rifles and assault weapons (if he can do it against the assault weapons), but deflecting machine bullets is somehow a problem to him as he did not master that skill so if machine bullets him, he relies on nano shields. I also forgot to mention that when he equip his cybernetic left arm, he was injected with nanobots which make him have superhuman-like strength as the nanobots controlled all kinds of cells across his body although he can be defeated if he was surrounded by many enemies who were equipped with machine guns and assault weapons.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. If he's fast enough to knock a sniper rifle bullet out of the sky, than he'd be easily fast enough to dodge virtually any plasma weapons, which in conjunction with his nanoshield would make him pretty much untouchable. I'd say he should either lose the katana blocking ability, or add an additional weakness to compensate for it (like becoming exhausted or depleting the energy of his nanobots after speeding himself up for more than a few seconds, to the point where he'd have to rest for awhile before using any other abilities).

Since things have slowed down so much in Star Trek, I moved things along to the end of the arc so we can bring in the new characters and start up the next universe a little ahead of schedule. (And apologies in advance for any errors, or if I forgot anything, but I'm way to tired to proof-read at the moment). If you want to have any of your characters interact with the Star Trek folks, feel free to assume they did so during the "Some time later..." period in my post, and you're welcome to control any Star Trek NPCs from DS9 for a conversation in your next post if you'd like. Otherwise, feel free to just have your characters return to the Hub in your next post if you'd like to move on to the next universe as quickly as possible.

OP - I could use a little help in deciding what to do for J.D. Last I wrote, he was on the Morgana and got a DNA sample of a Jem' Hadar. I could have him speak about other Star Trek alien races he met on board the space station if that's alright. Otherwise, I'm kind of stuck.

Sure, that'd be fine. The Klingons, Bajorans, and Federation are back on the station, so there's plenty of different races to write about (or get DNA samples from, if you want ;) )

Well, I'll agree that using his cybernetic abilities and katana blocking ability would make him exhausted a minute later and his nanoshield will recharge a minute later (if it's used for a minute) which the recharge takes two minutes before it goes back online, that's what I was pointing before but meh.

It is a Marvel thing but I prefer to say it titanium, I don't know why I wrote it adamantium. The Tenzai Robotics created those kind of katanas during the War of the Three Powers in the Red Alert 3 universe. Both "adamantium" and electric although the "adamantium" katanas were used only to the 'Super Samurai' which is a new unit in the Rising Sun, they were deployed in the waning days in the invasion against USSR and the Allied invasion of Tokyo.

Who's inside the Medbay?

To Rostavykhan's post, I'm somehow confused whether his characters are inside or outside at the Medbay.
Just call me, Byzantine/TNB/Byz because no one really calls me The New Byzantine.

And I'm saying that any character whose weaknesses include being a normal human shouldn't be able to spend a full minute knocking bullets out of midair. Honestly, a few seconds is even pretty ridiculous, but anything more than that is ridiculous to the point of being unacceptable.

Titanium and adamantium are two completely different things, so if you meant to write titanium than you should change the adamantium written in your app to titanium.

Alright, I understand your point.

I'll change the weaknesses of the character; i'll change the 'normal human being' into his weakness called 'Rage' which causes destructive nature in his surroundings and he would lost control of himself, if that's okay with you.

Rage doesn't really sound like much of a weakness (especially for a character at his tier). I think the energy depletion thing I mentioned earlier would be a better fit, so I'd say after speeding himself up to deflect bullets, dodge plasma weapons, etc. he should be unable to use any other abilities (including his shield) for a couple of minutes while his energy recharges. Otherwise, just cycling between the shield and dodging would leave him much more untouchable than a character at his tier should be.

I'll wait for Rostavykhan/Torii to post her characters and their reactions to Yuriko and Sans the Skeleton.

Surely, Yuriko would be shocked and angry at the same time (especially to Sans).
Just call me, Byzantine/TNB/Byz because no one really calls me The New Byzantine.

Okay, I'll agree to the energy depletes every time he uses this kind of abilities.
