LF2 Character Ideas

[Siegvar]

Character Name: Gentleman
Character Class: between Hero and Sub-Character
Appearance: Like any middle class working citizen, this person sports a grey business suit full with the tie, top hat...and Umbrella
Traits: Polite etiquette to acquantences...oh who am i kiddin? This guy just wants to bash you with his epic umbrella. thats right, his katana-shot-gun-rain-repellent-double-rainbow-air-retardant umbrella
Abilities: The ancient martial art of Umbrella-fu
Other Notes: when the gentleman opens his umbrella, it opens fast like a bullet and all hell breaks loose
Skills: 2 Input Moves(from memory, forgot what else i had), 4 or so Sub Moves
Input Moves:
1. Shot gun (preferably D>A): bullets fly out of the tip of the epic umbrella and give you the wynauts
2. Wakizashi Whack (Preferably D>J): the gentleman withdraws the blade out by the handle and slices in front of him. Used as a final to a combination attack (Note: can be used in midair)
3. Umbrella Shrafe (preferably DvA): just an ordinary strafe that hits about 4 or 5 times and ends with a super punch/run attack. (Note: can be used in mid air to execute combination moves)
4. Rainy Day (preferable D^A): the gentleman opens the umbrella normally above his head and all enemies nearby will be knocked upwards by the force of the umbrella
Sub Moves:
1. Umbrella Extension (>>A+A or A+A+A+A): the super punch/run attack is a straight horizontal stab. Pressing A once the gentleman has stabbed will unlock and open the parasol with devastating effects, sending enemies flying in the air
2. Float (J+D): While in midair from a jump, the gentleman will be able to open his umbrella and float down to the ground slowly. While floating, the gentleman will be able to use the Wakizashi Wack or another combination attack
3. Whapper (J+DvJ): (can't think of a good name) while in mid air from a jump, the gentleman can unlock his umbrella beneath him and the force of the opening parasol will propel the gentleman further upward while also blowing enemies downward (Note: will hurt enemies)
4. Aerial Rainy Day (D^A): particularly used in conjunction with combination moves, when in midair from jump, the gentleman opens his umbrella above his head, consequently blowing himself down to the ground and forcing any unfortunate enemy above higher up into the sky
5. Aerial Wakizashi Whack: the blade slize as mentioned above except it is executed in midair from a jump.

Gentleman: "Have a jolly good day sir!"

Note: the character sprite i envisioned it to be is far beyond my spriting skill. i would be able to dc this character but the efforts will be of little use to a dominantly visual community
And: also, im leaving these ideas here because i cbs making them. feel free to shred these ideas to bits and take what you like

Hmm.. have you been playing BlazBlue?
Rachel Alucard fights nicely with an umbrella... my favourite character...
And why a Gentleman when you can have a Gothic Loli Vampire!?
:P
But cliches aside... A parasol wielding fighter? This is a good chance to use the idea for a female fighter!
In fact.. I'd have thought that the sole word "parasol" would immediately bring to mind a female rather than a male character... interesting...
