[OOC] The War of the Three

[Lmpkio]

@Lmpkio Alexi uses her ice almost exclusively for things like "I need a platform" or "Ice slick under your feet" that don't need a lot of power to be effective.

@The 42nd Gecko

Ah I see. Right, then maybe not or I dunno.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Lmpkio Not saying a fight between them couldn't be cool, just that Alexi pretty much wouldn't be able to use her ice powers because of how thoroughly Gelgath dominates her in that regard. Gelgath would just have to avoid being Avalanche Strike'd into the next dimension.

@The 42nd Gecko

Well yeah. I guess we'll simply see given the chance.

So, I've been working on a bit of a ruleset/fight guidelines for a War RP of my own, any advice/comments?

Rules of Thumb

1. The more focused power beats the more general power. If Adam has "increased physical stats" and Eve has "increased speed", in a running contest, Eve wins. The more focused the ability, the greater the gap, for example, A:"increased physical stats" and E:"increased physical stats except defense" means the second will be faster, but not as much as if it was only E:"increased speed".

2. The power with more restrictions on its use or costs beats the less restricted/costly power. If Adam and Eve have "increased physical stats" but Eve's version can only be activated upon reaching 50% health or less, Eve's version will be more powerful. The more restricted the ability, the greater the gap. For example, an ability that deals 10% of your body's health per second of using it will increase your stats by more than an ability that deals 1% of your body's health per second of using it.

3. The more creative power use beats a power that is strictly stronger than it. If Adam has "Armor Suit" and Eve outmaneuvers him and strikes at a weakpoint in say the armpit, that wasn't specifically mentioned by Adam's description of the suit but makes sense, go ahead and be a sport and take some damage Adam. We want to make fights fun, and so, whenever you're not sure whether a creative attack would really make enough of a difference to overcome a stronger power, lean in the interest of the creative attack/defense/use of a power.

Power Tiers

Tier 1-
These are powers that give you personal benefits or specific tricks in your arsenel, but don't dominate the battlefield. Increased physical strength, a blade with supernatural cutting ability, the ability to cast a self-flight spell, resistance to thermal change. These abilities are typically very narrow (I cast laser blast), or have a personal effect (I'm stronger).

You get 4 Tier 1 powers, that provides your character with a small array of tricks to use in a duel with another hero and personalizes you and your gear.

Tier 2-
These are powers that are often incredibly flexible and/or have battlefield dominating effects. A really nice rocket launcher with a variety of special missiles is Tier 1. The ability to launch your own artillery barrages worth of these missiles, is Tier 2. Most general manipulation powers, such as the manipulation of an element, fall under this category unless they have a low power level or have harsh restrictions. For example, flat out telekinesis is a Tier 2 power, but if you can only use telekinesis on one particular sword attuned to you, or with a range limit of 2-3 meters, it is a Tier 1 power.

You should have 1 Tier 2 power (unless you have a Tier 3 instead), that defines why your character is a threat on the battlefield at large that has a real potential of single-handedly changing the tide of a battle between armies.

Tier 3-
These are powers that IGNORE how strong the opposition is, unless it's another tier 3. If your sword cuts through ANYTHING because it sends each individual atom or molecule it's edge touches to a different moment in time, 99% of targets will have nothing to stop that. If you can summon portals, it doesn't matter how strong the incoming attack is if you can create a portal in front of you and send it back at whoever attacked you.

In general, if you want a Tier 3 power, it should be extremely focused and/or have high drawbacks, and it will then take the place of your Tier 2 power. I recommend asking about any power you think might be a Tier 3.

Anyway, I'll post for Miyu and Alexi tomorrow morning now that I've gotten that off my chest.

@The 42nd Gecko

Tfw Henry has several Tier 3 powers.

[Lmpkio]

@floodtalon *Complains about Henry's OPness goodness*

[Flood]

@Lmpkio

*retorts with Henry losing in almost every single battle*

[Lmpkio]

@floodtalon

*knows this is the case but still complains just for the sake of complaining*

[The 42nd Gecko]

@floodtalon If I was trying to make a power set that balanced people for THIS roleplay, Tier 3 powers would be the tier you get 4 powers of, Tier 2's would be unlimited for flavor, Tier 1 powers wouldn't even have to be listed on your sheet, and you'd need one Tier 4 power that is to Tier 3 what Tier 2 is to Tier 1.

[Lmpkio]

Also, I just made a new character thats been approved by the GMs. You can find her in my CS as the first Machina character I posted. She will be presented in the next battle.

Or just look here if you're lazy:

Tina

Tina / Unit-T

---

---

(Ignore Tail)

Unit X

"Y-You want me to get in the robot? ...I-If you insist.

---

---

Name:
Tina / "Unit-T"

Title:
"Pilot T"; "The Pink Iris"; / "T-Mech"; "Mecha-T"

Age:
6 Years

Gender:
Female / Male

Allegiance:
Machina

Race:
Human Clone (?)

Height:
4'8" / 10 Meters

Weight:
Unknown / 1.5 Tons - 70,000 Tons

Personality:
Tina is a soft-spoken and quiet figure, acting very much like how a regular child of her age acts. Despite her lacking of speech, she does however demonstrate most her emotions through minute expressions, allowing everyone to know exactly whats on her mind without having to hear a word. She's also extremely loyal to her superiors, obeying their orders with little to no hesitation at all. Tina can get a little sassy if you happen to bug her enough.

Unit-T does have a bit of a personality himself, that to protect Tina at all costs, but he's more of a lawful character when in android mode, only speaking through robotic growls and roars. Once in Mech form, he helps Tina pilot in order to fight off other opponents. However, when he senses her cargo is in critical danger, his "Beast-Senses" snap as he rampages into a vile fury, showing no signs of holding back until the danger has been compromised.

History:
Little Tina's history is mostly classified for the most part, but its revealed that she's actually created as a genetically modified human via cloning. Reasons why she's cloned is unsure, but she's been made with one purpose: to pilot the mech known as "Unit-T" and fend off against the divine factions of both Heaven and Hell. Of course, there has got to be a reason why she's been specifically created... right?

Unit T's development started several years before Tina was created. His creation was claimed to be one of the first "Generation 4" mechs developed by the Machina with "techno-organic" technology, in which it blend both robotic and organic-like components. He is, in fact, self-aware, being able to work independently in "Android Mode". To date, Unit X is arguably one of the most advanced mechs of his time. His primary mission is to protect "Pilot T", aka Tina, from all possible harm, even if it results in his own destruction.

Powers:

• Surprising Agility: Being more of a "techno-organic" mech, Unit-X is rather agile and quite fast, being able to jump all over the place and lunge at his opponents.
• Berserk: When his pilot is in serious danger, Unit-X can go into a "Berserk" stage, in which he goes into an animalistic fury against his opponents. He's extremely dangerous, with his strength and speed having amplified quite significantly. He's even known to rip through metal and flesh in such fury.

Weapons:

• Mouth Maser Beam: Unit-X is capable of unleashing a fiery green beam of plasma energy from his mouth. It can be enhanced from being small and precise, to wide and powerful.
• Laser-Guiding Barrage: Unit-X has four rows of holes at his back between the large plates. They can unleash several heat-seeking lasers that can cause significant damage if they all concentrate on one opponent.
• Minor Shielding: Unit-X does come with minor shields which can be used to deflect minor fire if they so happen to hit him. However, they do not last long as they can be shattered rather easily.
• Grappling Hooks: Unit-X's arms are installed with grappling hook launchers, allowing it to latch onto walls and even pull in other units towards it, as well as swinging them around.
• Various Large Mech Weapons: Unit-X can also go into battle with weapons customly made for his size and stature. From giant machine guns, to gauss cannons, sniper rifles, and even a mini-gun. He also carries a heating knife that is stored in his arms which can be used in a pinch.

Equipment:

• Pearl Necklace: At some point in her life, perhaps when very young, she was given a pearl necklace. Reasons for why she was given it is unknown.

Theme:

[Inner Demon]

If BEAST didn't back down: Miyu activated her Daimyos and send them after BEAST.

@The 42nd Gecko

@The 42nd Gecko Dayum gurl chill! he backs down! ⊙﹏ ⊙'

I'll respond tomorrow. Sleepy sleep time. XD

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Inner Demon The Daimyo's really aren't that worrysome. Back when they could explode, they at least had that, but know they're really not that scary.

[Lmpkio]

Also is anyone up for some interaction among my characters by any chance? *crickets chirp* Anyone?

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Lmpkio Well, you could have your Angelic crew hang out with Cydone, but I doubt that'd go over well. :P

[Lmpkio]

@The 42nd Gecko Zeruel is out preparing for the next battle.

However there's Kushiel who've Ive barely used. Again, not sure if he'll be appropriate.

[Lonewolf685]

@Banana

Didn't Luci put Frog atop Artoria's head?

[Flood]

I know we're not supposed to ask Lucille's height, but I am curious if she is taller then Henry/Henrietta who is literally the height of a 10 year old.

[Gardevoiran]

@Lonewolf685
She did. Oh no.

[TheWendil]

I know we're not supposed to ask Lucille's height, but I am curious if she is taller then Henry/Henrietta who is literally the height of a 10 year old.

@floodtalon

Yes.

[Flood]

<Snipped quote by floodtalon>

Yes.

@TheWindel

I would like to request more people comment on Henry's height, this is comedy gold and nobody utilizes it. I made Henry shorter than a loli.

[Gardevoiran]

@Lonewolf685@The 42nd Gecko
I redid the post, and Frog was separated from Artoria in mid-air only to land on Artoria again.
