Viewtiful Warrior
There are many sources one can turn to for power. Some use magic to empower themselves, unlocking the secrets of the universe through study, inborn power, or faith in a deity or in nature. Some use their ki to empower themselves. Some use the power of their mind to break their enemies. Some simply master weapons, some get incredibly angry, and some use fancy special techniques. The Viewtiful Warrior is none of these (well, okay, he's kind of the last one, but those who follow the Sublime Way might be insulted by the comparison). No, the Viewtiful Warrior gets his strength from the force known only as "Viewtiful Effects", or "VFX". He fights with style, and this is his strength.
Making a Viewtiful Warrior
The Viewtiful Warrior uses VFX to enhance his effectiveness and do things that nobody else can. But he must do so judiciously, for VFX has its limits. If used too much, the VFX will temporarily leave him, and then he becomes vulnerable. He can fight well enough on his own, but he appreciates having friends to watch his back while he recharges.
Abilities: Charisma is by far the Viewtiful Warrior's most important ability, as many of his class abilities depend on that. After that, he needs Dexterity to enhance his dodging abilities, and Strength to enhance his melee damage and chances of hitting. Constitution is (as always) useful for hit points, as the Viewtiful Warrior's hit die is a little small for a melee fighter. Last in the order of importance is Wisdom (for Will saves) and Intelligence (for skill points).
Races: Humans, with their love of being the center of attention, are very likely to pursue this path if they find they have the talent for it. Gnomes also find this path quite appealing. Dwarves and elves don't quite get it - they find Viewtiful Warriors a bit distasteful and showoffish.
Alignment: Any.
Starting Gold: 6d6×10 gp (210 gp).
Starting Age: Simple.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Viewtiful Warrior.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Viewtiful Warriors are proficient with all simple weapons and three martial weapons, but most prefer not to use them. Viewtiful Warriors are not proficient with any armor or shields. A hero doesn't block, he dodges with style!
VFX: VFX is what suffuses the Viewtiful Warrior's being and grants him his powers. This mystical energy is born from the essence of drama and style. A Viewtiful Warrior has a pool of VFX that recharges over time. So long as he retains 1 point of VFX, he has abilities that easily rival the mightiest of mundane warriors, but if it runs out completely, he's reduced to a mere commoner until at least 8 points have recharged.
You're Too Slow! (Ex): Any creature that misses the Viewtiful Warrior with all of its attacks in the round in melee is stunned for 1 round. This class ability is not lost if the Viewtiful Warrior runs out of VFX.
Viewtiful Dodge (Ex): A Viewtiful Warrior has a dodge bonus to AC equal to ½ his class level, rounded down.

Ex-Viewtiful Warrior
Viewtiful Warriors temporarily lose their class features if they run out of VFX, but this is only until they can recharge to basic capacity. Rumor has it that a strong incursion of reality can deactivate a Viewtiful Warrior's powers unless he has a supportive audience; his powers may be suppressed in a dead magic zone. But really, it's not possible to be an ex-Viewtiful Warrior... well, not unless you somehow lose your V-Watch... but especially strong Viewtiful Warriors don't even lose their powers then. Once you can activate the power of Henshin, it's always a part of you.
