N.B. Mayfly, V2! 

An inscribed OC for Epithet Erased, because I’ve been following that series since it was Anime Campaign, and I’m tied to the tracks of this incoming hypetrain. 

This is the new-and-improved version of a previous version of N.B., pictured here. So if you’re an EE OC blog or something like that, RBing this version instead would be much appreciated! I finally found that sweet sweet font juice

Info on the character below the cut! 

N.B. Mayfly [Epithet: Shutterbug] is an inscribed, overzealous beat reporter always after the latest scoop, keeping up on information. And when your superpowers are words, information is everything! If he's not busy with the Daily Buzz, a trashy tabloid, he's a tracker-for-hire and a classic infobroker offering up Tips & Rumors to anybody's who'll hear him out. His epithet doesn't make him an especially hard hitter, but he's a crafty, rogue-like fighter who uses hit-and-run tactics, popping out, landing a hit with a camera-flash, stunning his target, and vanishing! Not POWERFUL, perhaps...but definitely annoying! Bzz bzz! 

Moves:

 Media Swarm - N.B. dissipates into a swarm of drones to avoid damage and rapidly shift position. Combined with the stunning flashes from his camera crew, this makes him an incredibly slippery opponent to pin down, helping to mitigate his low stamina with quick dodges to avoid hits. 

 Hidden Camera - N.B. and/or his drones can seemingly meld into objects in their environment to maintain stealth. Their flashes do more damage if they catch you by surprise, but unfortunately, they have to keep their lenses poking out while hidden (think the G-Men and their hidden cameras from Psychonauts), and if they're noticed, they can be forced out with an attack. 

 Paparazzi! - N.B. signals his drones for a big photo-op, hitting an opponent with a rapidfire flurry of snapshots. This requires almost all of his drones to be in place to work - often following up a use of Hidden Camera as a sort of ambush. Should he pull it off, it'll do more damage and cause a longer stun - but more importantly, it'll print him an array of photos, feeding him intel about his target's abilities and epithet! Useful for opening moves to learn details about a foe prior to fighting them, and a solid cover for a getaway when used alongside Media Swarm! 

 OUTCLASS: PICTURE PERFECT - ??? // [Not Yet Unlocked]

Epithet Erased OC: N.B. Mayfly

I’ve been aboard the Anime Campaign/Epithet Erased hype train forever now, so now that EE’s brought some new fans and this fun new trend, thought I’d throw my hat in the EE OC ring! It he -

bugs man

He’s a reporter keeping up with the latest buzz through the power of a media swarm something something bugs you get the gist. He’s got drones that pop out of his trench coat to collect intel and blind people with camera flashes! Where do the drones come from? How does he see out of his stupid, stupid glasses? How many eyes does he have under there? What does N.B. stand for? mySTERIES TO WHICH MOST OF THE ANSWERS ARE JUST MORE BUUUUUUGS-
