[OOC] Our Daily Lives have Become a Battlefield: A Battle School RP (Page 4)

@VitaVitaAR
So if battles must be non-lethal, is having a blade pressed against someone's neck a win-condition?
And whether it is or not; what are the possible win-conditions?

@kczrsk: Um, he needs an actual appearance and not just a height, and you should probably flesh out his personality a bit more then that. ^^;

As for IE skill and AE Device, um... a high pain tolerance and a straight razor just won't cut it, so to speak. ^^; Magitech weaponry and barriers and stuff.

I'd also like to clarify that School Battles are never lethal, no matter how lethal a weapon otherwise would be, due to school rules. That's not to say the weapons can't kill otherwise though.@VitaVitaAR

Great, thank you for your reply. I'll work on it then and update it later =)

@BCTheEntity: Okay um... can say using Samurai Jack for an appearance is really unfitting, for one thing. ^^;

Secondly, um... for this setting, an evil-slaying sword doesn't really make sense because evil is entirely a concept, not a tangible thing like in some settings? It's too nebulous of a qualifier. Besides, all weapons are already capable of killing people, but they just don't under school rules.

@Ryougu: Any battle operating fully under school rules renders lethality impossible, no matter what you do it won't kill.

You could set separate win conditions other then "opponent cannot fight any longer" though.

@VitaVitaAR Sure, I can change the appearance. What specifically makes that unsuitable for this RP? Because if it's just the lack of animesque, I can handle that easily. As for the sword, that would be why I wanted to discuss it with you in PMs, which I can do now that you and @RolePlayerRoxas are here.

@BCTheEntity: Well, it's a much more cartoonish image then anything else in the RP, and it's also a canon character.

As for the weapon, what did you want to discuss exactly?

I'm interested in this RP and will make up a character sheet after finishing some homework! I'm thinking of a slacker with superspeed.

Alright so that took much longer than expected, but anyway without further ado here's my dude. Also my friend would like to join in this RP too but he's been lurking and will hopefully send his GC soon and he's going to be playing Akio.
Name: Edward Hudson
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: "The only white kid around." Edward is a tall, lanky boy with a muscular build. He stands around 5"11.
Personality: Edward is an aloof teen. He is sarcastic and dry, and almost always has a "could not care less face on". But when you get underneath all that he's, well, still an ass but a loyal and more caring ass. If you make a good impression on him, or share common interest you can get him talking for hours, it's just getting to that point is much harder than it should be. 
	Edward is also, to put it frank, lazy. He loves naps and sleeping and general. He will also put things off to the last minute if possible but somehow his grades don't suffer much for it. He doesn't exactly enjoy fighting but sees it as a means to an end and he's good enough at it but will only fight if there's a benefit to him winning.
Backstory: Edward's father is a widower from England. He had Edward at a young age, long before he wanted to give up fighting. Edward's father (Jonas) is a world famous martial artist after all. Jonas often traveled the world entering, and often winning, many tournaments. Jonas and Edward's mother weren't married more of a hook up ever time Jonas came back to England, and Edward was to put bluntly an accident. Jonas understood his duties and by that it simply meant he sent home some of his earnings. When Jonas was away fighting, Edward's mother would look after him, she however passed away from a car crash when Edward was only 5. Just old for Edward to remember her hug. Instead of embracing his son and getting closer, Jonas instead steeled his focus on fighting. In a tournament in Japan Jonas sustained a career threatening injury. Whilst in Japan he fell in love  with the nurse attending to him and he promised to return then married. At age 12 Edward was uprooted from England and moved to Japan. Suddenly Edward was the only white person for miles. This was only amplified his anti-social tendencies. He would often skip school and daydream in class but he would always make the grades he needed to get by. The sudden change in culture, language and just about everything really cultured shocked Edward, and he didn't adapt well to his new surroundings. Often he would also provoke other kids poking fun or teasing them. More often than not got him into street fights, which Edward would almost always run from. Not from fear per se but because fighting is a hassle to him and he didn't enjoy it.  This enraged Jonas however, his slack and laziness went completely against his martial art training. And being called a weakling didn't help his fathers opinion of him either. Ultimately, this is why Jonas entered Shiroyama to teach him discipline
	Edward doesn't have many friends but he does have a best friend Akio. Akio and Edward bonding pretty quick over their love of well just about everything. They had similar taste in music, tv, comics, video games and everything a teenage boy loves. Akio helped him adapt to his new environment. The few times Edward actually tries is to help his friend. Edward for the most part was laying low from the whole fighting scene until Akio got in a street fight. He couldn't stand idly by he decided to actually fight for once, and he found he wasn't half-bad. Deciding from then on to be more active in the fights at school, to get his dad off his back and to get sweet bonuses Edward decided to be Akio's partner in crime.
Inherent Engine Skill: Beauty Mark  - Edward has the ability to mark objects with a star. Edward can than put another star on a different inanimate, non-AED object and he can attract these two objects together. The speed can get surprising high when the two objects attract. They mark doesn't last forever and can be dismissed by Edward at anytime. It's not impossible to stop the two objects from colliding just requires a lot of strength.
Active Engine Device:Mercury - Edward's AED is a stupidly large claymore. Now this would be almost unusable by Edward if it couldn't change it's state. Mercury can change into liquid on command and in it's liquid form Edward has full control over it's shape and movement. Despite it's name it's not actually made of mercury instead made out of durable steel. Said durability transfers over into it's liquid state meaning Edward can make razor shape blades, spears, shield or really anything that Edward wants and has enough metal to transform into. It draw back is it's not the fastest so transforming isn't instant and the range isn't that great either, only being as long as Edward could swing the blade in it's regular form. Which Edward can switch back to at any moment deciding he wants to for whatever reason. It's often carried on his back in regular solid form for intimidation and looks something like this


Skills: Edward is surprising clever and is able to think on his feet and strategize. He has been trained in martial arts by his father who still makes him do it, and has worked up a fair bit of strength lugging around Mercury.
Rank: 22th
Club: Edward is looking for a club to join, to make his father get off his back.

I have a question on how battles work in Shiroyama. Is it like a challenge system where the other person has to accept or is it something else?

@Pandapaw23: You can challenge, or if you attack someone and they fight back, it becomes a battle too.

@VitaVitaAR Can we assume things about the school's layout? For example can I just write "in one of the courtyards" without having to ask if the school has multiple courtyards?

@CondorTalon: Go ahead with that, as long as it's not unreasonable and weird for a school layout you can make those kinds of assumptions.
