Ninja Uematsu Akira

Ninja Uematsu Akira

Uematsu Akira – Ninja: Fled Japan leaving his sordid past behind to live in peace and anonymity in America – or so he thought.

Notes:

Codsworth can say Akira but not Uematsu. In Japanese form, the family name is put first and so it is with the pre-built save Uematsu Akira The save that lets you customize appearance has the names in western fashion: Akira Uematsu.

I have found changing stat points before finalizing the character can blow up the game when/after the final edit so the pre-built save begins after he has left the vault but is still in the area. I did not explore the vault so feel free to do so if you wish. To use the build in the customization enabled save follow the instructions contained within the zip file.

It may seem, from the long list of perks below, that this character build is too overpowered but you can still die on normal if you get careless (early on at least – have not played this build past the initial first large encounter).

The idea is that Akira has developed certain skills in his past and so is a bit better suited for the wasteland. Some perks are what I call “superficial flavouring” as I can’t see anyone picking them for the sake of their utility. Some are utility based but you could easily live without them as well. Some are definitely empowering – i left those at lvl 1 – but I believe they are not overly so and if it comes to that, there is always raising the difficulty setting in the menu. I debated adding pistol proficiency but left it out because I hoped this may lead RPers into fighting with melee or unarmed for the first bit.

I did not add key difficulty breaking things like tons hp or resistances, super-carry capacity, etc. I created text files to be run with the console to add inv space, crafting mats and ammo – if you so choose.

Thanks to: the wiki contributors as that is where I have pulled the data for the bat needed to create this build, to whoever compiled the list of names that Codsworth says at this address: eziriberin as that is where Akira came from and also to Nobuo Uematsu, known for composing for the FF series – and my favourite composer – for the familial name for the character.
