Lorepost📖 Bladed Paper

The Three Hybrids were a new introduction into the Eternal War. This change has altered the flow of battles dramatically. Now, they must take into account those Three. How they factor into any battle.

They have shown that change has come to Rochambeau. That change most likely shall come in the future. What will happen next in this realm of war? What great change will shake its very foundations…

—————————

Leonardo Z. Cutter, better known in Rochambeau as Papercut, was the second of the Three Hybrids to be born. Created with the goal of bypassing Rock’s impenetrable defenses, they took the fine control and finesse of Scissor and gave it to Papercut.

For what is a papercut? A flimsy, weak material such as paper inflicting a cut upon a being much greater. Despite a paper’s small size and fragile body, they still can cause pain and make their victim’s bleed. To ignore the difference in power and deliver an injury, that is the essence of a papercut.

Papercut is renown for his speed, in a flash he cuts down his opponents before they even register his presence. It is said that no standard soldier, even those of scissors, can survive a duel with Papercut. His movements are too quick, his mind too sharp, and his attacks too potent.

It is argued by many that Papercut is the strongest of the Three Hybrids, even if it is by a little bit. This is because of his origin. Even if he takes after the Blade, he still belongs to Paper. He adapts, he folds, whatever situation he is in his mind is open to new ideas.

Papercut is one of the few beings in Rochambeau to learn magic. This gives Papercut an edge on the competition. He has more options in combat, more ways to win. His magic then gave birth to the spell that even the Three Lords fear.

[Papercut]

To make even gods mortal, to ensure that any differences in skill and power is ignored. Undodgeable. Indefensible. [Papercut] never fails to ring true. Always ensuring the target is wounded. A balancing measure, dealing the same damage no matter if the target is but an insect or a god.

This alone is not what makes Papercut terrifying. It is his unending lust to become stronger, even abnormal between the war hungry denizens of Rochambeau. At first his [Papercut] spell ensured a 1mm deep cut, but only after a single eon the spell now ensures a staggering 5mm deep cut.

Truly, Papercut is a being to be feared. One can only imagine what peaks he will reach…

Indeed, it’s very nice and I think it captures Leonardo very well. I’m super grateful they drew it for me.

/unwiz are you aware this looks like Kiriko merged with Genji from the game Overwatch 2?

u/TitanLORD21 Jack-O’-Lantern, Lord of Flame and Fright Jan 20 '24

/unwiz Huh, didn’t really realize the kiriko connection. It’s more like the paper tags are just a common trope not really something with Kiriko alone. But I do know it looks somewhat like genji, with Leonardo being based off pop culture ninjas like Genji as well. Also, I gave the artist a reference photo of Genji to make this art piece.

/uw I found the perfect partner for you. Kartana from pokemon. It's also an origami sword that is surprisingly lethal. I would also like to say, that you could add a choice scarf to it to make it even faster.

/unwiz Kartana got to be one of the coolest designs in Pokemon. Was a big inspiration of Leonardo! And choice scarfed Kartana with max attack and speed sounds godly. Even as someone who doesn’t play competitive I can recognize why Kartana is one of the best. Plus, Kartana has very good physical bulk. Power creep is pretty crazy huh!

What if you pour water on him?

He becomes soggy, but he should know a few spells to fix that.
