In exchange for a new #DateMe journal skin, Addy asked if I would draw her OC Lime for her. Since it got me out of paying her, I was happy to do it!

OCs can be difficult -- what with only so much info and visual examples available -- , but I hope that I got Lime right. He struck me as very traditional and old fashioned, both honorable and serious. I modeled his stance/attitude/build after both the pics Addy sent me AND characters from the series Rurouni Kenshin. Specifically, Kenshin himself and his master Seijuro Hiko. The former partly because Lime has red hair, partly because of the poses Kenshin/Battosai likes to take during battle. The latter because he's got more of a "tough guy" vibe and he's more powerfully built. I hope my instincts haven't led me wrong!

.: Techniques :.

His a sword collector, but his main weapon is a long sword (nodachi) named Subaru-hime, forged by a man called Nagayoshi. This man was the one who saw Lime's space pod land in Earth. The sword has a cutting edge of 135.6 cm (it was 145.8, but he had an "accident with it", so the scabbard is too much longer than the sword could be) and a curvature of 4.9 cm. The width of the blade at the base is 7.2 cm and the width near the tip is 3.0 cm. (Facts from a real Nagayoshi sword).

Someone could believe that he is a bad melee fighter, but that's wrong. He practiced hand-to-hand martial art with the monks, allowing him to defend himself with it. He has innate agility - because of his first training in Vegeta-sei - who allows him to perform some cat-like movements. He has Ki control too.

He can reach up to the second level of Super Saiyan too. His Ki techniques are based in the agility he has and the weapon he uses, although his size. He can use the flying technique too.

Shishi Nenshou (Flaring Lion): Deals a extremely heavy blow with the fist, then releases pent up a Lion-shaped energy, which creates a huge explosion.

Limelight: Swaths self in ki and Subaru-Hime's power, and go in a berserk rage of slashes. Most minor ki attacks will have no effect on him during this state and his attack power is increased, but he is vunerable and tired when thetechnique ends.

Kousa (Cross) Blaster: Cuts a X into the air, which, if a full hit, generate a huge explosion. If not, will release lost of ki blasts.

Subaru no Toku (Subaru's Shield): Uses Subaru-hime's seven spirits to create a circle around an specific zone. Uses his ki to create a ki shield which protects everything on its insides. He cannot move while keeping the shield on.

Hail Slash: Creates normal ki blasts, which he can turn into a rain of small spheres and launch them to the enemy.

Ougon no Shishi (Gold Lion): Based on the Shishi Nenshou, Lime forms a red ki blade on his arm, performing a very swift cut with it. then the ki turns into "liquid" (like blood drops) and vanishes.
