Big Strong Man Upgrade

[adm]Most of this is approvable, but for the sake of documentation I'd ask that you list his most significant feats + threads for the MD Master justification before I can approve it.[/adm]

Alright, so I'm missing some threads, one specifically where Law calculates the speed at which Ulv is transporting him by measuring the change to the horizon and the frequency at which objects which are nearer pass him by, and some others that I don't remember the exact specifics of, but which I certainly know existed. Regardless, Law originally had a Master in mental deduction, and when the change came through it was understood that he was on the very top end of elite, I imagine this can be found in the staff channel. It is also apparent in the combat or planning in all of the already linked threads that he is constantly using his brain to get ahead. Just by the very nature of his powerset he must have an innate understanding of the physics of the world around him so as to manipulate them as he wishes. In his fight with Ulv he uses his intelligence to put up some level of resistance, even while being severely outmatched in pure physical prowess. In Qatar Hero, he inherently understands the dangers Stefan poses through subtle clues in the mans movement, although he isn't entirely sure of his full strength.
The entirety of Plan and Execute is Law showing his ability to plan around assets he has only a partial understanding of, at the same time demonstrating the fact that he knows what he doesn't know, and plans around that as well. He displays a strong strategical, as well as tactical mastery of the battlefield, and of the political landscape at large.
All of this, in addition to the fact that he is canonically mentored by Urahara, who praises him for his intelligence, if not for his pride, I think places him well within the range of a Master Mental Deduction.

[adm]I'll give one of the two necessary approvals for this.[/adm]

"Regardless, Law originally had a Master in mental deduction, and when the change came through it was understood that he was on the very top end of elite, I imagine this can be found in the staff channel."

I do remember this discussion. I do not think this is a valid argument for Master. "originally had a Master" is semantical error. Insofar as what Master constituted back then, effectively what Law originally had was "Elite" under a different name.

"All of this, in addition to the fact that he is canonically mentored by Urahara, who praises him for his intelligence, if not for his pride."

Given that's historical and a part of his app, that's part of the argument for why he was considered Elite. That's less of a valid justification for an upgrade up to Master.

Now, all that said, I'm giving a second approval anyways. I just wanted to make it clear that those to notes in particular weren't why. I think Law has, as you said, demonstrated mental deduction characteristic of Master well in many of his threads, constantly considering many variables are discerning the truth of the matter in his threads. Also as you said, Law's powerset very much requires a great level of Mental Deduction, and pairing that with how you've roleplayed him thus far, and how much you've roleplayed him in portrayal of greater Mental Deduction, I think Master is appropriate.[/mod]
