@Lost Cause: I mean... We have Nanoha and Vita, so I see now issue if they aren't the main focus of the character. I'll probably evaluate on a case-by-case basis otherwise, so yeah.

I hate to nag about your posts once again, but there are a few problems with it when it comes to Nanoha's actions:

1 st, the way you described that block wouldn't have worked against 24 magical artillery bullets coming at you for front, back, up, down, and each other possible angle. Also, notice that artillery is quite literal here, they hit more or less like howitzer shells as far as damage goes.

2nd, her spells don't burn. They are like being hit by a hammer and strictly non-lethal. No matter if a Bombardment hits you with the same force of a freight train moving at 100mph, you'll not die from it, but... it'll hurt a lot and incapacitate people for days.

3rd, the beam and the bullets came in tandem. By choosing to block them he would have been hit by the Excellion Buster. Really, did you read my post, or are you changing my actions just for fun? Nanoha has a set way of attacking that is to always overpower her enemies with as much firepower at once as possible and I described my actions in such a way, yet you took them and twisted things in a way that changed my post entirely.

4th, once again. Nanoha's magic does not generate any appreciable quantities of heat. Are you still thinking of it as fire, even after I told you the contrary a few days ago?

PS:

I think that my post was harsher than needed, apologies for that. Either way, the intention still stands, you fundamentally changed the actions I have described when you replied.

The order of the attacks was, "salvo of bullets to pressure him followed by a heavy bombardment immediately". Nanoha doesn't lose time when she uses her limit target's mobility > blast the hell out of them tactics.

And I hate having to edit because of your lack of information on your character's abilities and effect. It does not state anything about them being non-lethal, nor does it state anything about any effect other than they were not intending on hitting him unless he would try to tank them. Which he decided to do since the numbers.

1. These Axel shooters. It does not state anywhere in the post of their effects, neither does it state it is fired in tandem with the beam. And as you stated it is fired as artillery these ones, salvo meaning fired at once at the same time. He moved backwards since even if some things were coming from behind him, propell yourself back far enough and things will eventually be in front of you.

2. See 1. Once again if this would have been stated in the post of the abilities effects then it would had been replied to in the 'proper' way as you would have it. But if there is no such information and no visual available on youtube then how do you suppose one would go about it? Watch the entire anime series for it?

3 and 4. It does not state it was fired as a tandem attack. It does not state so. It only states it was fired. Oh not to mention the beam itself being described as a pink beam of destruction, which implies that one would in fact try to destroy something. Not incapasitate it. The very defination of destruction is that something is to be grinded into dust. And yes, I did read your post. But you seem to forget that not everyone is familiar with the series that Nanoha is from, and thus might expect everyone to know what you mean when you post these things.

"," Nanoha said as she commanded the bullets to attack their assailant from several angles at once. Her intention wasn't hitting him —unless he was someone like Vita, who prefers to tank hit, instead of dodging— but to force him away from Mordred so that she could get a clean shot with her bombardment magic. If he refused to dodge to the direction Nanoha wanted him to, he would most certainly be hit by a salvo of Axel Shooters. Dodging cleanly would require something like Fate's level of speed and reflexes, which Nanoha doubted that anyone else could have.

"Mordred, take care," Nanoha shouted as the dry clicks of four cartridges being loaded in rapid succession —because Nanoha knows no restraint— rang in the air as she raised Raising Heart toward her target area and began to charge her signature attack, "Excellion... BUSTER!" she shot the pink beam of destruction, as soon as the Red Knight was out of harm's way."


It doesn't state here that it was fired in tandem so it was not treated as such by me. I have not changed anything, I have acted on what I do know about your attacks from what you have posted. So don't go about and say that I somehow 'changed the actions' when a detailed description of each individual power is what is lacking. Their movement, their shape, their effect, their timing with other abilities and so on. If you cannot provide these how in the living hells will another person be able to know what those things would be other from what you have currently provided which doesn't tell effect nor that it was fired in tandem?

I have edited the post now. I'd rather not have it become a habit. And now it's worth as a post has been made less epic, but so be it. Non-lethal it is.

Fine, excuse for anything.

I'll try to be more mindful in the future, as much as possible. Even though I had already explained the non-lethal, blunt energy part when Nanoha shot the moths. Either way, I'll take care.

I was tired and stressed when I wrote that post above, yesterday. It really came out far more aggressively than I intended to.

Anyway, let me say something in advance. Considering that the powers to go incorporeal that Menomaru used will tip Nanoha to try to seal and bind him. I'll just wait for @Raineh Daze and @Rin's replies, if they want to do something.

It's allright. It happens. I can be aggressive too, especially during the early mornings, and generally add more wood to a fire when I feel defensive about something. So on that regard I will not be very helpful to cool things down for quite the bit. PKMNBOY said that discord would serve well as a place where we could discuss things beforehand to avoid misunderstandings and such things from repeating so may be good for us to talk more there than here to not cluster up OOC chat too much.

Sadly, Suwako isn't working out, so I'm replacing her.

  • Name: Konpaku Youmu
  • Gender: Female
  • Appearance: "Ah, yes, Yuyuko-sama, it is quite tasty." Youmu is pretty small, at under five feet.
  • Personality: Calm, collected, serious. These are things Youmu tries to be at all times. To her credit, in a fight she is a dangerous and focused opponent, but outside of combat she is prone to being rather awkward. Her attempts to remain collected often fail, as Youmu is easily surprised and confused. She is not unintelligent, but it is simply quite easy to exasperate or perplex her. Youmu is easily frustrated by things that confuse her, and she is somewhat easy to mislead. However, she has been working on this, as to not fail Yuyuko. Youmu takes pride in her combat capabilities and her speed, as well as her katana, Roukanken and Hakuroken. In spite of her attempts to be a dutiful and serious warrior, Youmu retains a fear of ghost stories. In spite of being half ghost. And serving a ghost. However, when her opponent is not a ghost, Youmu can be a courageous fighter who refuses to give in. She also retains absolute loyalty to Saigyouji Yuyuko, even if the gluttonous ghost confuses and embarrasses her at times. Youmu is reluctant to kill other intelligent beings unless it is necessary to defend herself, Yuyuko, or others.
  • Brief History: Youmu was born into the Konpaku family, half-ghosts in service of the ruler of the Netherworld, Saigyouji Yuyuko. She was trained intensely in swordplay, and in how to garden in order to cultivate the gardens around Yuyuko's home. Soon enough, Youmu became Yuyuko's servant, dedicated to her service even when she was to cause an incident that nearly(unintentionally) caused the awakening of a malevolent entity in the form of a soul-eating cherry tree. Since then, Youmu has actively assisted in the resolution of several incidents.
  • Universe of Origin: Touhou
  • Equipment: Youmu carries two katana, Roukanken and Hakuroken.
    • Roukanken: An incredibly long katana, a nodachi that measures longer than the short girl is tall. Roukanken's blade was forged by youkai, allowing it to be nearly unbreakable. This is not the most notable feature of Roukanken, however. The katana's incredibly sharp blade transcends physicality, allowing it to cut apart even existences such as formless ghosts. Rocks, trees, flesh, steel, little can stand up to the unrestrained Roukanken. However, Youmu utilizes danmaku rules to avoid killing unless her life or the lives of others are in danger. Supernatural protection, or heavily augmented technology, may also defend against Roukanken.
    • Hakurouken: A wakizashi, Hakurouken possesses no ability to kill a living thing. Indeed, it is almost entirely harmless, causing some pain and discomfort but otherwise nothing else. Its capabilities lie in another area. It can be used to parry and it can incapacitate with enough blows, but the true nature of Hakurouken is its ability to divide things such as confusion. Certainly, cutting confusion is a valuable asset to the easily-confused Youmu. However, this is merely a side effect of its intended function. Hakurouken instantly causes the state of Nirvana in spirits it strikes, causing them to vanish utterly.
  • Abilities: Youmu is somewhat more durable than a regular human being, and has a somewhat more capable healing ability, but this is nothing as extreme as most youkai. As a half-ghost, a portion of her soul is embodied as a (usually)non-sentient floating phantom referred to as Myon. This can be used to observe distant areas, fire danmaku, or even temporarily become a duplicate of Youmu for double team attacks. Youmu also feels everything Myon feels, though she cannot be damaged in this way(something painful to Myon will be painful to Youmu, though). Youmu is an incredibly skilled swordswoman, capable of wielding her blades both one and two-handed. Her strength is above human level, allowing her to wield the incredibly long Roukanken one-handed. Youmu's attacking speed allows her to slash many times in an instant, to the point where it appears as a single attack. She can also move very quickly, in both air and on land, her speed making her the second fastest person in Gensokyo. This allows her to pull off her family technique, Two-Hundred Yojana in One Slash, covering an enormous amount of distance and come back in the time it takes to unsheath Roukanken and cut with it, allowing her to cut foes even quite a distance away. However, these shows of speed will eventually wear on her, so she cannot endlessly utilize her top speed. She also carries spellcards and is fully capable of flight. Her most powerful technique, both in spellcard form and as a true attack, is Reflecting Satellite Slash. This attack is simultaneously the cutting of her blade and a wave of blades reflected by the light of the moon, assaulting her opponent in a flash of light as she moves to cut through them. Even in nonlethal danmaku form it is a highly dangerous attack. However, it requires Youmu to hold still and gather power to properly perform it. In spite of all her advantages, Youmu is still partially human and can be injured as a human can, and while attacks to Myon do not cause physical harm, the pain caused by them can immobilize her.
  • Other: N/A

@VitaVitaAR: Well, we discussesd the limitations of Youmu already, so as long as the speed is within reason (and I do put emphasis on that), then you're free to swap Suwako out for Youmu. Accepted, but with that caveat.

Here's my character! I know he doesn't necessarily fit the cast of characters (yet), but I'm hoping he'll still be fun to mess around with. He also has some questionable powers, so please let me know if anyone has any problems with him and I'll be more than happy to limit them further.

@GreatSalmon: Aah, sorry for being MIA. I've had a giant (figurative) gun to my head to work on stuff the past few days, but I'm here now.
Let's see...

Hm. Doopliss, huh? I think the biggest problem I have with adding him to the cast is that he feels more like a pseudo-joke character than anything else. That, coupled with the general power level trends of the RP (and the higher likelihood for him to be off in his own world instead of interacting with the cast) means that he'll likely not fit in. Especially considering the tone of everything right now. Paper Mario's pretty lighthearted until you start poking at the major antagonists, and honestly Doopliss isn't an exception.

So... Refusal, but not based on powers. Sorry, mate.

That's a bummer! He was going to be a comic relief character, but not just a joke character. I had a lot of spicy ideas that could have generated some fun, different interactions. But if he doesn't fit with what you're looking for, then that's your call. Have a fun rp regardless.

Ok, I guess that this is a good time to wait for Eva's reaction before replying with Nanoha. Also, Tenshi, for the other group. I'm not in any hurry, anyway, so you guys do it whenever you can.
