Precis F. Neumann Age: 16 Birthday: February 29 Height: 5'1" Weight: 95 lbs. Weapons: Machine Fist Armor: Medium Armor Favorite Food: Chocolate Crepe Favorite Instrument: Harmonica Starting Skills: Functionality 3, Mech Knowledge 1, Mech Operation 1, 100 SP Voice Actor: Kana Koinuma An extremely hyper teenager, Precis is a master of machinery. Everything about her is unconventional. Her weapon is a giant robotic hand that is controlled by a device that looks suspiciously like a Dual Shock Playstation controller... the other thing that weirded me out is that before I looked at it closely, I could have sworn that her picture on the Status screen was giving me the finger (or rather, the robot hand was.) The one skill Precis definitely positively needs is Machinery. Sure, it gets expensive in terms of SP. But how else are you going to create those nifty weapons, and more importantly, those Killer Moves? Other than that, the usual combat skills will help, blah blah blah. Precis attack has good range, but there seems to be a slight pause while she winds up the huge hand, during which time she is vulnerable. Recovery time, too, is only okay. Precis has the ability, like Opera, to hit flying enemies without jumping, but only if she is far away. Unlike Opera, if she is standing directly below she'll jump. My nitpicky commentary on voice: Precis's voice has to be her worst characteristic. I'm not kidding. She supposed to be, what, 16? So why does she sound half that age? The most annoying: "Here's Mr. Enemy!" Heck, I'm 17, and half the people in my grade are still 16, and none of them sound like that. Without helium, that is.

Rocket Punch
MP: 4 Proficiency: 120
Precis fires a huge robotic hand at the enemy. Will hit flying enemies too. This move is pretty cheap, fast, and overall good. It achieves top proficiency quickly too. Fairly effective.

Hop Step
MP: 5 Proficiency: 140
Precis leaps into the air and hits the enemy with a hammer. Another fairly quick move, although if Precis is standing too close to the enemy she'll get hit on the way up. Also easy to level.

Mole
MP: 7 Level: 17 Proficiency: 100
Precis turns Bobot into a drill device, climbs in, and burrows up under the enemy. A good move for the fact that while she is underground she is immune to normal attacks (and magic too? I don't know, I can never time it right). Again, easy to level up.

Ally-Oop!
MP: 8 Level: 25 Proficiency: 220
Precis throws one and later two Bobots at the enemy. Okay damage, but by this point you should be expecting more out of Precis's Killer Moves...

Parabola Beam
MP: 12 Level: 38 Proficiency: 240
Precis pulls out what looks like a satellite dish from her backpack and fires a beam from it. (Sounds like Parabora Beam...) If the enemy is close enough, they will get hit multiple times. However, it takes a while for her to get the dish out so be careful.

Bang-Bang Attack
MP: 15 Level: 49 Proficiency: 510
Precis hits the enemy with hammers. As the level of this move gets higher, more hits are given. Other than the general silliness of this move, it is actually quite useful if 1) you level it up enough and 2) you can stand hearing "Bang-bang attack!" over and over again.

Bloody Mary
MP: 32 Level: 57 Proficiency: 360
Precis turns Bobot into a giant tank-like thing, climbs in, and runs into the enemy with drills. While she is in Bobot she is immune to attacks from the front, but not magic or projectile attacks. Once you level this all the way you can hit as many as seven times! You could end up doing more damage than Mirror Slice! Probably Precis's best Killer Move, except it takes kind of long to execute.

Mujin Super Beam
MP: 24 Proficiency: 120
Bobot fires a large laser. For those of you who are wondering, Mujin was the name of Bobot in the Japanese version of the game. Makes you wonder why they didn't change it... Pretty good move, cheap, easy to level, but you'll have to make this Killer Move via Machinery. Seems to only hit once. Light-elemental.

Barrier
MP: 28 Proficiency: 200
Precis throws Bobot like a grenade at the enemy. Can actually hit a group of enemies within a certain radius. As the level gets higher, the radius gets larger. Pretty good move too. Again, you must create it with Machinery. Once you level all the way up you can hit as many as four times. Light-elemental.

Holo-holograph
MP: 20 Proficiency: 130
This Killer Move can only be gained by a certain Private Action and only if Ashton is in your party and knows Sword Dance. Despite its origin, this Move isn't quite as effective as Sword Dance. It does hit multiple times, but it takes a long time before it actually starts executing, and doesn't hit as many times. Still, this is one of Precis's better Killer Moves. Higher proficiency doesn't seem to increase the number of hits; rather, each hit does more damage.
