Awwright, finally got around to patching Inanna.
Patch Notes:
Desert Twister: I wasn't really feeling like this move really fit too well with the rest of his kit. It has been replaced... by a move that's pretty much exactly the same, but uses portals!
It's also kinda nice how his moveset is more sparse than my other characters, but I did want to give him the obligatory Hideki Kamiya game reference a special move that makes more use out of the portal loops that he uses in his supers for a bit of fakeout and risk/reward shenanigans. So he's got that thing now.

■ [Warp Flip]
[Inanna opens a portal underneath his feet and turns his staff sideways as he falls into the ground, reappearing above and in front of the enemy. Hanging onto his staff and flipping like a gymnast, he sails towards his opponent’s gut feet first, somehow retaining enough momentum afterwards to sail up into the air and land back to where he was when he started the attack, retrieving his staff.]

So he's got that thing now.
■ [Verdant Portal Kick]
[Inanna opens a portal under his feet and reappears above his opponent with a foot extended, kicking for minor damage and leaping backwards off of them for a graceful rebound. Inanna can alternatively hold himself in a set of two portals located above each other located up in the air before the kick to both fake out and increase his own velocity and damage. On the first loop, he’ll kick with both feet, rolling along the ground if he misses. On the second, he’ll come down hard enough that he’ll use his opponent to break his fall, taking damage himself if he misses. While he’s “looping” to charge the move, he’s vulnerable to damage from anything that can hit him.]

APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY
APPEARANCE
6 flat, he is rather tall for his ethnicity. His skin is a copper brown and his eyes have a sense of impending violence behind the brown hues. His grin is unpleasant and cold, his mannerism crisp yet seemingly artificially constrained. His entire body is riddled with scars from his training, fights and some are self inflicted as a form of "meditation".

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION
Deep within the Cambodian jungles there is a small, almost forgotten to the world monastery. Here, a sect of violent outcast monks have formed a twisted, hidden society. The are called The Phlauv Banlea or Thorned Path.
They believed in one thing and one thing only: The Path of Perfection is through violence and pain. The Phluav Banlea was long considered nothing more than a myth, especially since the Red Khemer had already taken its place in history as Cambodias darkest stretch of history. As Pol Pot and the Red Khemer made history by commiting genoice, the the reclusive monks kept hidden and were content of being a shadow of the past.
Indeed, they only ventured out when one of their disciples set out to attain something for them. It was at this monastery that a martial art prodigy by the name of Kravann would find his purpose in life.
Kravann is a martial arts prodigy, the kind that only see the light of day every decade or so. He grew up in a small fishing village, where Martial arts was as much a way to meditate as it was to defend itself. His family was nothing special, and his father a strict but not unkind man. But he was weak and poor and so Kravann had to find his own fortune. He thought the way out was trough his god given talent for martial arts.
He learned Bokator from a local Master, who saw the raw talent the boy possessed. Bokator is a Khemer style similar to kickboxing, and one of Cambodias oldest martial arts practises. But as he trained, the boy found it lacked substance, that it was empty somehow. A dark cloud of negative emotion began to grow over him like an ill omen.
At the age of 9 he began to sparring with the older kids and by the age of 11 he was sparring with the teens. By the age of 12 he had his first real match against a boy from the local gym. The match ended in a quick victory as Kravann toe kicked the other boy so hard and so accurately in the solar plexus that the boy had to be hospitalized.
After three more matches with the same result a year later, he was no longer allowed to compete as it felt he had a unfair advantage and used it to hurt rather then just win. Kravann was 15 by the time he left his village, feeling more then ever like something vital was missing.
He moved around, staying at various gyms and dojos, absorbing techniques and styles like a sponge. He became the equivalent of a black belt in Pankak Silat, Bando and various styles native to the region. He also started to more or less headhunt local hot shots and big names, intent of testing his mettle. He left a trail of bodies behind him, often going so far to ending the career of promising talents and humiliating so called masters. All the while, that quiet feeling of something missing never left him.
That was untill he came upon Haulong, A Korean born member of the Thorned Path. He had been following the young Kravann who was now 19 years old, his masters having taken an interest in the prodigy. He challenged Kravann, and not only beat him, but broke his arm in two places within the first minute of the fight. Kravanns response was to laugh like a caged hyena, demanding to know where he could learn to fight like that. At last, the boy seemed to have found the missing piece.
Haulong considered this confirmation that they had found a new member and gave the boy directions, stating that only if he could find them would he be allowed to join. It took Kravann an year to get there, having to heal his arm as well as travel into the deepest Cambodian jungle.
Once there, he set to learning the Thorned Path, finding at last that he found something that was aligned with his own interestes and reasons for learning martial arts. Here, he was run trough the ringer, nearly dying and always pushed to the very limits. Even sparring was like a fight to either death or surrender. Here he aquired scar after scar, exhilarated by the violence and the pain. Here he belonged at last.
For 8 years he studied with them until he was considered good enough for the next step. Like Haulong before him, Kravann was to take another apprentice under his wing, and to do this he must travel the world to find someone as cruel and cold as him to teach what he knows. This was how the Thorned Path grew and how they made sure only like minded were ever able to find them. For Kravann, this task while bothersome, was neccerey. He does not care that much about passing on his knowledge, he has always thought himself the eternal student and still seeks to perfect himself and fully become the epitome of the Thorned Path. But the elders wishes him to mentor, and so he will.
Thus he now seeks out Nomads to fight.
FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES
FIGHTING STYLE
The Thorned Path employ a style referred to as Sechaktei Pit Hengsaa
or “Violent Truth”. The style is all about causing breakage and pain in the enemy, employing powerful, ki disrupting strikes and bone breaking kicks. His movements are very economic, and his kicks and punches snap in the shortest possible angle of attack.

SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES
Passive: Thorned Path Diciple:
Being a practitioner of the Thorned Path; Kravann is all about pain, both causing and having it caused to him. The more pain he surrounds himself with or feel, the more powerful his Spear of Pain and Ki Destruption bbased attacks gets. These wil lbe marked with a *
■ *Bakbek/Broken Sight The most basic of ihs moves is Broken sight, which is a quick step in strike that smashed his palm to the opponents head. It can be blocked, but the ki strike will still dazzle and briefly impair your sight ‘Combo Starter’
■ kach chhaoeng/Rib BreakerUsually a follow upto Bakbek, Kravann drops low and jams his elbow in the opponent's ribs, knocking their breath out of them and causing severe pain.
■ damri staong/Elephant Stomping Channeling KI trough his legs, he stomps down the opponents foot, disrupting their movements and debilitating them.
■ *damri tich/Scorpion Sting A quick strike using his thumb, index and middle fingers to strike at an are on the body, disturbing the flow of ki, causing massive discomfort and lingering pain until the ki has been rebalanced.
■ *lompeng nei karchhucheab / Spear of Pain
Channeling his ki trough out his arm, he thrusts it forward liek a spear, and indeed, launches a spearlike projectile of twisted, malignant ki. If hit, the victim is wrecked with immense pain and find using his own Ki difficult. The projectile is reasonably fast, but travels only in a straight line and can be dodged. Powers up the more pain Kravann is enduring or causing.

■ sva tralb / Monkey Flip Dodging low, Kravann uses his powerfull legs to deliver a ki-infused kick that launches the enemy upwards. ‘Combo Starter’
■ lot khla / Leaping Tiger Pouncing forward, Kravann swipes with his fingers like a claw, ki hardening his fingers so that he can literally tear flesh. Can be used to intercept airborn targets or opponents launched by the Sva Tralb.
■ Double Hammer Kick (can be used while in the air)
The hammer kick is not part of the Thorned Path, but a old habit of Kravann from his past. Like most his moves, it is quick and powerful. The Hammer kick is like axe kick in that it comes dropping down from an fully extended leg. How ever, Kravann is able to pivot and deliver a second kick with his other leg just a second before should it miss or as the case is sometimes, when it goes right trough the opponent.

SUPER MOVES
■ *Embrace of Thorns
Kravann moves quickly up close to a enemy and grasps them in a bear hug while manifesting 8 spears of pain around them both. He then hold on to the enemy while each spear impales them both. However, all the pain he feels is imminently transferred to the grabbed opponent.

■ *Rose of Death
Surrounding himself with eight orbs of Ki, Kravann becomes empovered and fasted. His spears become targeted attacks that homes in on his target. FOr each time he hits ANYTHING and for each spear thrown, a orb is consumed. when all are consumed, the targets hit by enpowered attacks or spears, are briefly stunned by terrible pain.

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS
Combat Weakness: Pain is a rather double edged sword. While pushing him to his limits is dangerous, he is a slow starter in combat. His abilities are lacking the edge of Thorned Paths ramping power early.
OTHER
He is a vegetarian.

I decided to make two SYMBIOTE NPC's for Germany. With the reports of highly advanced Robots terrorizing a village, no doubt Horizon Frontiers would want to get their fingers into it.

INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
SPECIAL MOVES
OTHER
One of two Symbiotes sent to Germany, to investigate the Robot terrorism. It's AI, SMOLDER, manages to keep him under control.
SPECIAL MOVES
■ Infernal Claw
The claws project from SYM-23-O's arms, heated to melting point. He then attempts to grapple the opponent and hold them in his finger's cagelike grapple, searing them. So long as he maintains the grab, his opponent will take damage.
■ Shotgun Fist
SYM-23-O slams his fist into the opponent. Upon contact, the heavy shells in the back of his arm chamber lurch forward, greatly increasing the impact of his attack. Even if his initial attack doesn't deal much damage, the shells lurching forward mean that SYM-23-O only needs to make physical contact with the enemy.
■ Megaton Assault
SYM-23-O's arms greatly expand to twice their size. For a limited time, all of his attacks deal x3 as much damage.

DESCRIPTION
SPECIAL MOVES
OTHER
One of the two symbiotes sent to Germany to investigate the Robot terrorism. They have the special ability to produce poison from artificial glands within their mouth, giving them a poisonous bite. Her poison causes intense sickness, dizziness, and nausea within seconds. Though unless it is in large doses, the effect doesn't last longer than it takes to manifest. And in battle, the poison can quickly be nullified by Adrenaline. They can also spit their poison at opponents, or coat it on their claws. Their poison is also sticky, allowing them to climb up walls and on ceilings. She alone is a deadly enough predator, but her AI, POCOA, gives her the attitude of an even more tenacious and intelligent predator.
SPECIAL MOVES
■ Chameleon Mode
Pocoa's skin turns to mirror her surroundings, giving her the appearance of being invisible.
■ Poisonous Bite
Poisonous Bite can only be used if she has her opponent in a grapple. The effect makes the opponent slow to attack and move, but they will snap back within two hits.
■ Tar Spit
Rearing close to herself, POCOA spits her poison in the form of a rapid bolt at the opponent. When the attack hits, it has the same effect as Poisonous Bite, yet the duration is even shorter.
■ Ride the Annaconda
POCOA lunges forward along the ground. If she manages to grab the opponent in this range, she will bite the opponent multiple times.

Like, it looks weird how some areas of his sheet are indented (some are seemingly double indented), while others aren't. It just looks very... unprofessional to me. The problem is in your other sheets, but I was willing to overlook, but, I don't think I can do it anymore.

Okay guys, time for that update. I first updated the character list with fancy titles, and I updated all my winquotes. In addition, I made a few more changes to my characters moves.
CHANGES

Seven-Seven
■ I added the Supermove Limit-Release, since I thought it was a cool super that fits with her character thematically. It might seem OP, but I think it balances out when you think of it. I also added the buffs it grants to her various moves.
■ I also added Self-Destruct as a reference to Nier.
■ Thematically, she should fit the killer robot theme I have going on with her.

JUSTIN
■ Changed Rhythm Hammer after realizing it was redundant as a "stage spanning attack" because I added Record Spin, and it appears too much like Brenda's burning right. Now it should be more unique (that, or I'll just cut it).
■ Changed Orchestra to be a beam attack after realizing both of his supers are the same in function.
■ Now his moveset should be better.

INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
SPECIAL MOVES
OTHER
An agent of Horizon Frontiers. His father was one of the founders. When he died, his son scrambled to take his place, despite lack of proper knowledge or training, and his general youth. Practically the only feature that allowed him to join was that he was a relatively experienced Nomad, who had been wandering the world out of boredom until he could fill his dad's shoes. Horizon Frontiers desperately needed Ki to sample, so he subjected himself to constant painful extractions and surgeries. Now, his ability to use Ki is severely weakened. He can't even qualify as a Nomad, as even the smallest exertions of Ki are painful to him. Should he use too much Ki in one sitting, he might actually die. With most of his Ki extracted and his body exhausted beyond repair, his use to Horizon Frontiers is steadily crumbling. Recovering SYM-04 just may be his ticket that he's still useful.
SPECIAL MOVES
■ Thunder Punch
Rod dashes forward after infusing his fist with Ki, causing it to crackle wildly with lightning. If he punches an opponent, they'll be harshly electrocuted.
■ Ki-Dodge Style
Arguably his strongest maneuver still available. He infuses his entire bodily reflexes with Ki, allowing him to move his entire body, no longer how late he reacts to an attack. It can only be used as a preparation to a suspected attack, and at his current state, will completely immobilize him for an increasing time with every time it is used. Currently, he will be paralyzed for 3 minutes after he uses it.
■ Finger-Gun
Rod focuses all of his Ki into the tip of his finger, and shoots it in a miniature bolt of lightning towards his opponent. He can only use this attack five times in a short period of time, requiring an hour to recharge each use. If he uses it with all uses exhausted, he will experience intense physical pain with every other use.
■ Thunder Pressure
Rod jabs his opponent in their chest region, with Ki-infused fingertips. The lightning will dance into his opponent, writhing violently, causing his opponent to be immobilized. Holding it for too long will fizzle it, and use it on himself.
■ Thunderball
The last trick in the hole. Rod channels all of his Ki into a spherical object, about the size of a basketball, entirely made of Lightning. He then hurls it at his opponent, dealing massive damage and paralyzing them. The downside, is that this move has a 50% chance of actually killing him. If he does survive, he will be completely weakened for 3 hours.

So, I am pretty happy with where Margot is move wise. The only thing I wish to change are her supers. Tempete d'epees and Unus Pro Omnibus, Omnes Pro Uno are both very similar in idea; "Move super fast". I decided to change the two to make them distinct.
Changes:
- Changed the description for Tempête d'épées
Old:
New:
Otsana:
I decided that the one-handed vs two-handed mechanic was a bit unfocused. I wanted the one handed moves to be her main damage dealers, and her two handed moves to induce various status effects.
Changes:
- Removed Two Handed: Ratattat-tat
- Removed Two Handed: Grapple Attack
- Changed Flash Bang to a Two Handed Attack
- Added Two Handed: Dragon's Breath

Old:
■ Tempête d'épées (Storm of Swords)
Margot lets her fighting spirit flow through her, blades becoming a light as a feather as she moves at the speed of wind. Using her agility, she dashes around the battlefield to harass her opponent from all angles while dashing away to avoid retaliation.
New:

■ One Handed: Both Barrels
Otsana draws her sawn-off shotgun and, like the name suggests, fires both barrels at once. This has been known to knock people flat on their backs. Short Range with Decent knockback
■ One Handed: Double Tap
Otsana draws an automatic pistol and fires several times in a row. Medium Ranged with rapid chip damage
■ One Handed: Doorknocker
Otsana draws a comically large revolver and fires a powerful long ranged shot.
■ Two Handed: Bloop
Otsana fires a grenade from her launcher, blowing her opponent away.
■ Two Handed: Boloa-Launcher
Using her MG's Underslung launcher, Otsana entangles her opponent, holding them still for further attacks.
■ Two Handed: Dragon's Breath
Otsana channels her ki through her launcher in the form of a large cone of fire. It doesn't do much damage in itself, but it is likely to set things on fire.
■ Two Handed: Flash-Bang
Otsana tosses a small flashbang that disorients anyone caught in the flash.
Oh no here comes the fighting. Why can't we all just get along. Why must we speak with out fists, and not our hearts.

XAND-1 and Test Pilot Jack Falcon
⦋ 26 || English-American || Male ⦌
APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY
APPEARANCE
PERSONALITY TRAITS
BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION
Far from the more elaborate AI-controlled combat machines that are currently being used, XAND has a rugged, militarized design that makes it blatantly obvious that it isn't meant for anything other than war. Painted in camouflage colors suited to the environment at hand, carrying a railgun rifle, and covered in pouches for equipment of every stripe, XAND is patterned after the human soldiers it is intended to replace, and it shows. Its pilot, Jack Falcon, is a muscular but somewhat baby-faced Caucasian man with a truly magnificent beard. His clothing varies by the occasion, but when piloting XAND he chiefly wears the fatigues of a garrisoned soldier.
PERSONALITY TRAITS
XAND:
--> Absolutely zilch. It's a drone, what the hell did you expect?
Jack Falcon:
--> Friendly
--> Loves to drink
--> Talkative
--> Gets shit done
--> Avid gamer
--> Extrovert
--> Cautious when he needs to be
--> Does not take kindly to sexual misconduct
--> Disciplined soldier when on-duty...
--> ...average guy when he's not.

--> ...average guy when he's not.
BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION
Jack Falcon was born to an average family in England, but his parents emigrated to the United States soon after his birth due to his father's job forcing him to move to New York. Jack ended up getting dual citizenship at a fairly young age, but grew up around Americans almost exclusively. He had a relatively ordinary childhood, though he was known to get into often physical scuffles with the local kids, and was prone to getting detention. He wasn't a bad kid, per se: He had good grades, and a decently-sized circle of friends, but he tended to respond to bullies with violence.
His record of fighting had an impact on his permanent record, and when he tried to apply to college, he found that he couldn't get in due to his reputation for violence. So he opted for the military. He displayed an excellent aptitude for hand-to-hand combat at boot camp, and he was approached by a representative from the Pentagon about an interesting project that DARPA had cooked up. With the ki-empowered martial artists known as "Nomads" roaming the world and getting into supernatural battles with one another, and the rise of the Nomad terrorist known only as "Abel," the threat of rogue Nomads was so dangerous that DARPA was putting together a project that would put this power in the hands of the governments of the world. But first, it would go into the hands of the U.S. military. Because of course it would.
The XAND Project, as it was called, took a different approach from the AI-controlled robots that had been used thus far. AIs weren't human. They were inherently alien, and could theoretically develop difficulties interacting with humans. XAND had no such problems, because it employed powerful bipedal combat drones that were designed to match Nomads through pure mechanical might. DARPA envisioned armies of XANDs crushing even Abel through sheer force of numbers, bringing rogue Nomads into line one battle at a time. However, it was still in the experimental phase, with small quantities of drones being sent on missions to test their capabilities in the field. Jack Falcon, due to his astonishing close-combat performance, had been selected as one of the privileged few test pilots for the XAND Project. Obviously, he accepted.

FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES

SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES
SUPER MOVES
WEAKNESSES & LIMITS
XAND-1 (or just XAND for short) fights in the style of its current pilot. While XAND-1 is perfectly capable of riddling its opponent with projectiles, Jack is an up-close fighter, and this manifests in a schizophrenic fighting style which favors heavy, brute-force strikes, and yet a tendency to go for a ranged weapon the minute XAND-1 knocks an opponent away or otherwise gets out of melee range. Jack is trained in Modern Army Combatives (MAC), a fighting style which promotes integration of ranged weapons such as firearms into hand-to-hand combat. However, given XAND's intended opposition MAC techniques are obviously less than ideal, since ki prevents even a high-powered rifle from killing an opponent on a successful hit. Thus, Jack's unorthodox fighting style is actually more effective than the techniques he was trained with. XAND is equipped with various pre-installed weapons as well as jet-equipped legs for flight and an integrated repair bot. It also benefits from extremely fast reaction time due to being a robot, but such reflexes are par for the course among the Nomads it's intended to fight. However, XAND-1 only has a battery life of about three days, necessitating that it be recharged every once in a while.

[XAND smashes the opponent with the end of its rather heavy railgun.]
■ [Rocket Blast]
[XAND aims its arm at the opponent and reveals a small missile capable of fitting inside of its wrist. It then shoots the opponent with it, creating a sizeable explosion.]
■ [Jackhammer Strike]
[XAND hits the opponent with a straight punch or front kick, and then the entire limb extends and retracts repeatedly, hitting the opponent three times in one motion.]
■ [Taser Grapple]
[XAND grabs the opponent in a chokehold and then electrifies its outer shell, stunning and electrocuting the opponent. The enemy is incapacitated for several seconds after taking a hit from this.]
■ [Photon Slash]
[XAND produces a laser-sword extending from its wrist.]
■ [Electro-Whip]
[XAND produces two electrified prehensile metal cables from its wrists and enwraps the opponent with them, dragging the enemy towards it and electrocuting them all the while. Can also be used to strike the enemy like a whip (obviously) and even to impale them with the sharpened tip.]
■ [Auto-Repair]
[A small repair drone emerges from XAND's back and begins to, well, repair it. XAND-1 must stay immobilized while using it and is vulnerable to attack. Best used in small bursts while the opponent is incapacitated. Synergizes with Taser Grapple.]
■ [Jet Upper]
[XAND uses jets integrated into its feet to propel itself into the air at close range, hitting the enemy with a devastating rocket-powered uppercut.]
■ [Jet Dash]
[XAND extends its legs in the direction Jack wants to move and uses its jets to dash in a single direction at high speed. Good for evading enemies.]
■ [Incinerator Kick]
[XAND kicks the opponent in the face while its jets are engaged. This is obviously intended to mess up the opponent's face pretty damn well.]
■ [Jet Tackle]
[XAND uses its jets to fly like Superman and tackle the enemy head-on with the force of a charging fighter jet.]
SUPER MOVES
■ [Ocular Laser Cannon]
[XAND-1's central red "eye" fires a disproportionately large laser blast at the opponent that engulfs all but the biggest fighters completely, doing tremendous damage.]
■ [Autonomous Mode]
[XAND stuns the opponent with an electrified fist, and then performs a pre-made combo intended for maximum damage. This isn't truly "autonomous," since all XAND is doing is performing a premade set of attacks, but it does so without the limitations of a human pilot. After a devastating, twenty-second-long sequence of brutal blows, XAND lifts the opponent by their neck, electrocutes them for five seconds, throws them to the ground, and then fires all of its projectiles minus the Ocular Laser Cannon at its downed foe simultaneously.
■ [Electric Skin]
[XAND electrifies its casing. Any opponent coming into contact with it without proper insulation, even for the purposes of attacking, will be instantly sent into convulsions and drop to the ground briefly. Meanwhile, XAND can continue fighting as usual.]
WEAKNESSES & LIMITS
XAND is a drone, and as such is often controlled from several miles away, and potentially from the other side of the planet. This can result in input lag when Jack gives a command, and a lag spike, or God forbid a complete loss of connection, can be deadly. It is also experimental, and as such has the potential for glitches to occur at the worst times. Jack himself isn't a ki-user whatsoever, and as such he isn't particularly strong when not piloting XAND-1. That means that he's vulnerable to a Nomad in-person, and as such may need to be protected in the event of a Nomad attack. Not that he isn't a well-trained soldier, he just can't throw fireballs or walk off bullet wounds like Nomads can. There's also the ever-present danger of Jack's connection to XAND-1 being hacked, allowing an external user to gain control of the drone to potentially-devastating effect.

Thank God, I was worried that this RP was on its last legs with such a dead OOC chat. Do you have a separate Discord for this game or do you use the RPGuild server?

Separate discord from it all; it's on the front page, right below all the information regarding this rp. Regardless, this won't be dying for a while, not as the heart of it beats strong with the blood we still have!
And hey, new blood never hurt a bit :P

@Genon He seems like an excellent addition to the roster, but I think his moveset needs a bit of tweaking tbh.
I think he can do too much (I'm cool with the ranged and some of the melee attacks because they make sense)... he has grapples, stuns, ways to pull people in, rushdown moves, zoning, etc. With the only weakness being "lag spikes," which doesn't sound consistent enough for me.
I think you need to cut some of his moves, or add more drawbacks to them.
