LotB2 manager for The Shiori Novella here.
More progress has been made on Novelknight. I've wrapped up his moveset more or less. Based on the response it got, I'll be keeping Novelknight's initial test entrance and song. (

As for what I settled for his profile on based on responses:
Novelknight is high in Loyalty as well as Desperation, Average levels of Pride, Respectfulness, and Boldness, and is slightly Aggressive.
He hails from The Queen City, announced as "Blackwell Knight"
He utilizes his Poison (Ink) Mist Payback to turn the tide of matches.
There are a few more things I'd like some input on: His signature moves and finishers. Based on suggestions, Novelknight is a technical fighter and as such uses many submission type moves. I've chosen some moves based on feedback, to consider variety, and in relation to Shiori
https://files.catbox.moe/ej1pvk.mp4Signatures: The Bearhug was suggested by an anon; Shiori often hugs us Novelites at the end of streams, so Novelknight is simply sharing the love.
The Wheelbarrel Facebuster was something I picked out in relation to Shiori's spontaneous nature. It's a move that can come out of nowhere, and gives Novelknight an option against opponents who might resist his submissions.
Finishers: Silence was another one I chose, one for the technical nature, but two, with the way the headlock is held, its as though Novelknight is telling his foe a tale, and it felt on brand.
Last but not least, I saw the Hangman's Neckbreaker as the method Novelknights used to kill or incapacitate Novelights when they were without weapons in the past. It's a very brutal move, and again gives a non-submission option.
Let me know if these seem fitting, or if you think Novelknight should be using something else. No need to be specific, if it feels off, lemme know and we can work on it.
Also! We can give call out names for the announcer to say for these moves, rather than their specific in game designation. For Silence, I was thinking "Bedtime Story" and for Hangman's Neckbreaker "Banish the Light". If you have any suggestions for the signatures, or different names for the finishers, that'd be cool too.
After that, what's left on the table is deciding our final crowd sign, and making a custom graphic of some kind for the videoboards during his entrance.
Any feedback at all would be appreciated, fellow shiggers.
