[OOC] The War of the Three

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL Do I need GM permission to have imaginary powers that only work in imagination land against people who want me to have those powers so the fight is more entertaining?

That's what I was assuming, that these powers are simply for more fun storytelling while in memory warps reality land. If anyone who is facing Miyu says "No, you don't have your powers" then, she doesn't. Because they only exist when the others there want her to have them. Henry subconsciously wanted a better fight with Miyu, so he got one. Zeruel maybe wanted a more satisfying battle when he gets to kill the angel that always badmouths Deva?

@The 42nd Gecko

Not really, though we were wondering where they came from to begin with. The real question is will Miyu still have these powers after leaving the Oblivion Dungeon.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@TheWindel No. "Imaginary powers that only work in imagination land".

@The 42nd Gecko

I guess you could at least give us the least of a heads up as, you know... common courtesy to the GMs?

[TheWendil]

No. "Imaginary powers that only work in imagination land".

@The 42nd Gecko

Noted. Carry on.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL Eh? Was everyone else running the NPCs they created and fought in their dream sequences by you? Because that's the status Miyu would fill while this maybe her, maybe not her (notice, her title is now Miyu and not Miyu the Honorless Blade in these posts), serves as a foil to develop other characters/have some mindless fun, and her strength is determined by THEM as opposed to me.

[KoL]

@The 42nd Gecko

Regardless of anything, what happened, happened so carry on.

Just be sure to at least ask us in advance the next time you want to decide to make any alterations at how the setting is supposed to work, because the Dungeon wasn't supposed to behave like that thus I was assuming they weren't imaginary at all but latent powers on Miyu that you didn't ask us about.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL "trapped in the border between the real and the imaginary, a place where delusions and truth weave together in a complex lattice" I really thought this was a place where your memories or desires or fears or imagination effected reality. My bad.

If you're that concerned about the imaginary powerset, I made a list.

Lots of Words

Base Abilities:

Enhanced physical- Nanomachines and dreams, son.

Mantle of Unconquerable Sun- This power "unifies" things physically. It causes all effects to be shared across things equally. The "Mirror of Conquered Force" spell allows her to change the orientation of force being shared, but requires her to make physical motions demonstrating the turn.

Circle of Harmonious Will- This power "unifies" things mentally. On sentient (and willing) targets, this allows telepathy between Miyu and the rest of the network. This also works on non-sentient targets such as, air, dust, water, earth, space, allowing Miyu to sense their presense, location, and status. Miyu can cast spells across things/people unified by this power.

Cloak of Fleeting Shadow- This power "separates" things physically. Causes them to avoid each other, passing by each other with no friction. This normally can only cause things that are not attached to avoid each other but the "Traitor's Blade" spell can create an edge that cause things (or people) to separate where they were not meant to be separate.

Combined Effects:

Reach of Green Dawn- (Mantle and Circle)
This spell unifies the edge of her weapon with the material next to her target, allowing her to strike at any range, with the requirement that Miyu's weapon has to strike the target from the perspective of her eyes. This specifically doesn't work with Traitor's Blade.

Loom of Stolen Thread- (Mirror and Circle)
This power passively steals the energy of things moving within her Circle, that she can then use. Basically works as Mirror, but passively and with far less dramatic effect.

Edge of Red Dusk- (Circle and Cloak)
This power unifies her nervous system, her reaction time becomes instant. And by also separating the air in front of her body, Miyu can safely travel very quickly, without worrying of splatting against a wall or burning up.

Body of Unyielding Soul-(Mantle and Cloak)
This spell separates her soul from that plane of existence and onto the mortal plane, and then unifies it into her body. Miyu can replace destroyed parts of her body with her soul (which is significantly stronger than even her nanomachine enhanced body), allowing her to continue fighting regardless of any non-soul destroying injury, including complete annhilation. However, by putting her soul on the physical plane, that allows ordinary physical attacks to destroy her soul.

Spell vs Power
Power is innate thing that takes as much concentration as say, moving.
Spell is a focused thing that takes as much concentration as say, doing math in your head, and generally has a drawback or limitation in order to grant a Power a new ability or application.

I was basically using it as a chance to play with Miyu using the powerset I had always wanted her to have (with a few additions like Traitors Blade that I want for fun duality with Henry), seeing I won't ever actually get it.

[Lmpkio]

@The 42nd Gecko You can find what they look like on the previous page. They act both like ariel artillery but excell as underwater "submarines" in movement and agility.

[KoL]

@The 42nd Gecko

I wouldn't have any problem with it if you asked before and mentioned them being imaginary, or even if you mentioned them being latent powers like Diana's dragon power. And I don't have any problem with them now. My issue was you doing it without asking or specifying things.

It wouldn't have costed more than one post to ask and you can be sure that we would have replied well since the idea was to have characters develop during this encounter. What I have a problem with is you assuming things and leading me to a false conclusion.

This was a matter of a simple and harmless misunderstanding, so it can be ignored with no consequences. Just remember to ask next before you grow new powers or change the mechanics of the setting on your own. We probably won't negate it if things are done cordially.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL Apologies, I thought I was doing a self contained act that had no repercussions anywhere.

I was also pretty sure you wouldn't allow someone a powerset like that in the real world, as it completely ignores power level differences and would making fighting the likes of Taura, Juno, Iona, or Eos about as difficult as Bonesword, in that it would be an even fight.

[KoL]

@The 42nd Gecko

Tweaked to a more realistic version, it could work. Otherwise what you have there combined the powers of two characters that aren't even supposed to appear on this story and that, yes, are supposed to be able to take down the Vassals.

Just to note, half of those powers are those of the true version of the actual owner of the Sword Eos used on KC-00032 and the other half are those of Juno's Master. Theirs are even more broken, but still it's nearly the same thing.

Furthermore, Juno, Iona and most of the other Vassals don't really rely on pure raw power to win fights. Juno used to, but she developed a lot since her inception on this RP (trough 1x1's and side materials), and Iona was always a Lady of War at her core. If such a build evens powers across the board, skill becomes the main issue in a fight and these two have a lot of it. Taura on the other hand just lives for fun, winning or losing never really matters for her, it's all about the challenge.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL Yeah, that's what I thought. I imagine the half of the powers I'd have left at the end of this would be the ones Miyu actually already has.

[Gardevoiran]

I am now considering making a character that exists to kill vassals, but doesn't appear like it.

Alternatively, just upgrade Frog to the ultimate beast killer.

@Banana

Well, I suppose this is one way to get mauled by KoL.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Banana Fullerened Antimater. I'm telling you. Chose that for your ammo, and stand really far away from your target.

[Gardevoiran]

@TheWindel
Eh. Frog was thrown into an incinerator, Lillian was yelled at by Eos (and almost accused of treason), Abigail died in vain because Victoire survived an attack that imo should've destroyed her, and there will likely be more stuff in the future that I want to call bullshit on but won't out of fear.

If I get mauled, I get mauled. It's a living at this point.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Banana Soon, your journey towards the dark side of people who have lost their will to even try fighting KoL's characters will be complete.

[Gardevoiran]

@The 42nd Gecko
Trust me, Abigail would probably defect from Heaven if she had the chance, but she's fearful of what Iona or Deva would do to her.

Also, Frog only needs a single bullet. He can Rat-ta-tat.

[TheWendil]

Diana threw Frog away because he reeked of corrupt children's programming.
