Requirements: Nwnv1.69, SoU, and HoTU plus CEPv2.2c3
Also requires: hokutomusic.hak which comes with this Prefab
Included in this prefab is two items and a script. The first item is Kenshiro's outfit from the popular Anime and Manga series Hokuto no Ken "Fist of the North Star". The second is a glove that lets any monk character be able to practice Hokuto Shinken, a technique that makes their enemies explode and grants them other abilities as well, such as to kill, blind, and wound your opponents.
Instructions: Simply put the script ondeath_hokuto on any enemy, and it will check to see if you are wearing the glove. If you are, then your monk will deliver a most awesome killing blow with a 50% chance of saying to the hapless opponent "You're already dead" just like Kenshiro. Naturally, this script goes in a creature's ondeath slot. Only a monk class can use the glove, so plan accordingly.
Included is a demo module and an .erf file for importing this prefab set into your own module. To use the Kenshiro character just place his .bic file into the localvault folder and have fun! The villains from the demo are not included. If you like them and wish to use them in your own module, feel free to export them to an .erf file from their listings under Module Specific, which is where they are.
It is recommended that you either use the included Kenshiro character or at least a 20th level monk when trying out the demo since the two villains in the demo, Zeed and Jackal, are both at or slightly above the 20th level mark themselves. They are both immobile, however, to make the demo easier.
Also included is a tiny Hak Pak containing the Fist of the North Star theme song from the Anime. It's in the form of a .wav file, which can be found under Custom 5. Look for "You Wa Shock". It is already set up in the demo module so you can get the full Fist of the North Star experience.
Notes on Hokuto Shinken:
Hokuto Shinken is a 1,800 year-old Chinese fighting style that uses the body's 708 tsubos of the keiraku hiko ("secret channeling points") to cause destruction from within. It is said that the average person only uses 30% of their body's strength, whereas those trained in Hokuto Shinken are taught to tap into the remaining 70% in order to perform their destructive techniques. It can kill, blind, and wound. Those who are found unworthy to practice Hokuto Shinken are often either killed or crippled, so that the secrets of this deadly art do not fall into the wrong hands. Few are worthy.
Fist of the North Star was my first experience with the post-apocalyptic genre, and is still one of my all-time favorite animes and mangas. I watched the live-action movie, the original anime version, the new series, as well as the original series (and the rarer Fist of the North Star 2). I've also read the entire black and white manga series. If anyone has ever seen the movie "Bridge of Dragons" with Dolf Lundgren, it is very similar to Fist of the North Star also, although the plot isn't *nearly* as detailed. ;)
My next submission to the Vault will be another anime-based setup. This time, it will be based on Mazinger Z!
Stay tuned... you'll be very surprised.
