First post to Dazsos

Vaan Vs Daxius

Low-Powered tier (4)

Will fight here:

The Infernal Arena



Dimensions: The diameter of the "ring" can be anywhere from 20 to 96 meters (66 to 315 feet), depending on what you need
Temperature: 38-42 degrees Celsius (100-108 degrees Fahrenheit)
Player Capacity: Can be decided by the GM/contestants, albeit it supports a fight between only a few players the best
Hazards:
- Mild concentration of volcanic gases (only dangerous for very long battles, GM or contestants can previously decide to ignore this)
- Uneven ground and sharp rocky surfaces which may cause accidents or injuries
- Arena is suspended about 300 meters above the flow of magma
- Tremors can occasionally shake the ring albeit it won't be anything serious
- Occasional but tiny eruptions which can spew some lava to the battlefield and generally raise temperature (advised to be ignored unless there's a GM to control the timing of this effect)

Description:
Ancient fighting ring of unknown origins, suspended within the throat of an active volcano called Inferno. The ring is a large piece of rock covered in cooled magma. The core of this ring is extremely durable and suggested to be made of Brimstone. The entire ring is suspended by giant chains made of indestructible Adamantium. Thanks to its solid construction this arena had survived for over 10,000 years and may remain for eternity.
As seen from the illustration the volcano has two stony ramps, connected to two distinct caverns through which the contestants could reach the ring.
Mt. Inferno itself is 900 meters tall and its composition makes it more durable than any normal rock. The altitude difference between the level of the ring and the top of the volcano is circa 300 meters.

Pssssst, I found a wee typo you might wanna' fix. XD

"the rape is about 12 feet long an is made from elven twine making it very strong and..."

I'll copypasta Vaan's character sheet in to a format that doesn't look oggleboggled in RPG. A minute's patience.

That rope should probably be twelve meters long, just saying. At the moment it's only twice my height, which isn't really long enough for a grappling hook.

Still, kudos for having a grappling hook, don't see many of those around these days.
1x Thank Thank

fixed that embarassing typo

Youre gonna have to nerf whatever powers to fit a tier 4 or 'Low-Powered' fight though, no ragdolling me with hurricanes. Or exploding me like a goddamn balloon. It has to be competitive. Otherwise I'll have to use a tier 5-6 character, which can get a little too DBZ for my tastes.

@MelonHead changed it to 50 feet or 15 metres.

Thanks for that.

@Dynamo FrokaneAlright so I posted Vaan's sheet, but I do think his natural strength might be a bit much.

I'm willing to dim down whatever you think is too strong. Also I kinda' stopped reading after the rope bit, so I'll finish doing that and then adjust Vaan to a more equal standpoint.

He cannot summon hurricanes, however he can conjure small tornadoes. I should've added in the time it takes to actually create one! Rude of me...

~~~

EDIT: Alright yeah, I just wasn't aware of the tier system, really. Numbers and whatnot. Vaan is definitely too strong.

In order to balance things, let's state that there are many corpses lying about this particular battlefield?

I'll lessen Vaan's his deadlift maximum, and put reasonable cast times on some of his spells.

@Dazsos dont you have anyone else who is a bit lower tier? I dont mind waiting while you write someone new up if that need be.

ALso, my cyber ninja is still up for it, if you decide to go down the Cyberpunk/scifi route.

@Dynamo FrokaneAfter being dimmed down, Eroc is about on the same tier as Daxus. Both have empowered physicality, some magic, a strange weapon, and neither are human. I can dim down and make a cap on his spells as well - to a max of maybe 50 a battle, and lower the range on them?

We could have a kitty knife fight? I also have a knife kitty. XD

Or if you take out the magical weapon & necromancy, I have a character I can fit in to a weapon duel.

If you're hellbent on cyberpunk, I can try... is there a list of the tiers and examples? I'd probably go overboard on tech like turrets and... well Zweig would probably want a tank.

I think I'm fine with all of his powers as they are, but maybe tone down the 'slicing ability' of the wind. And the shouting power too. Maybe not deafening but disorienting, considering that Daxius isnt a normal human.

Every thing else seems fine

EXCEPT no creating lava tornados! I noticed that the min I picked the stage, the lave is not to be lifted out of the pit.

If we can agree on that, we can get started right away.

NO LAVA TORNADOES?!!?!?! AWWW COME ON...

Fine fine, no lava tornadoes. I can agree on these debuffs. Though how much would you really want to weaken his air slicer? Cause that's his only reliable long-ranged attack. Are you thinking a reduction of range? Perhaps only 20-25ft distance slice, the rest being just air pressure?

Also before we begin, can I get a rough description of the explosive power of Daxius's sword? From how it's described, I'm imagining Roy's fully charged B in smash bros. Does connecting a strike against the sword create a real explosion?

I think its not so much the slicing its the fact that wind slices can come from anywhere in any direction instantly and cant be blocked by any conventional means. unless you want to make it like Robin's Elwind in Smash Bros where they are shot out like convenientonal projectile blades. (Forward instead of down obv)

And yeah the explosins are like Roys Flare blade except with a moderately bigger blast radius and not as much charging, obviously not so big as to where he would damage himself. The sword doesnt always cause an explosion its only if Dax chooses to channel energy into the strike.

Im good to go when you are.

Oh, he can't create wind blades from random locations, only from where he slashes with his sword. I forgot to mention the 'with his sword' part, I suppose?

That's a really sneaky gimmick for Daxius, are there any notifications for when it's about to explode? Like a charge-up, some kind of aura, or flames surrounding it? The explosion radius for Roy's attack naturally would damage himself, if friendly fire weren't turned off, so I'm not sure how a bigger explosion would end in anything except a draw.

Either way, I'm lenient, and ready to go whenever. Innue said he'd be willing to judge our match, I assume the little 'ranked' flame icon will appear later, for all that smezzy official-ness?

Long day at the site, though, so I'll be hitting the hay soon. Feel free to make the first post if you want; Vaan is loud and obnoxious, though, so naturally to play the character out, you could wait for me to post, so that Daxius could get the preemptive attack. Though it's not impossible for Vaan to scout out his opponent from above. All up to you.

The explosion does damage Daxius himself, but hes more resiliant than roy so he can be blasted a few times before killing himself, depending onnthe soze of the blast, and yeah his sword starts to glow red, its not a slow charge but its not instantaneous either, theres a second or two to react.

Okay the wind blade thing doesnt sound to bad now, I'll have to be creative with my defense though.

Also, I have a super spontaneous suggestion, but ive just gotten word back about a 2v2 I was proposing before...

How about a free for all? I'd rather play out Vaan's personality, and unless one of the other 3 fighters is a hot chick willing to feed his ego, he won't normally side with your average sellsword or knight. Still I'm willing to work in some extra garnish to this battle.

Looks like the other 2 have gone off the grid, happy to just continue this as a 1-1 if you are.@Dazsos

@Dynamo FrokaneOh, wow! Hey dude! I thought you fell in to the void or something.

Yeah I'm still down for a 1v1, but... I do remember asking for a ranked fight. (Cause I want at least some estimate of my skill known.) And I noticed this isn't a ranked thread?
