[OOC] The War of the Three

[Mega Birb]

@Lucius Cypher
Yo look at that collab we were working on.

[Awesomoman64]

@Mega Birb

And now there are 2 posts. I believe you can now do stuff.

Also since I seem to keep using Sharn, I figured I've give him a picture finally.

[The 42nd Gecko]

Woooh! Progress!

[Lonewolf685]

Progress indeed.

Since today had been my day off from the laptop for the most part, i'll get to doing some posts tomorrow.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Lucius Cypher I have no problem with Fran having not paid attention to the plan. But you should know Miyu placed Balrog pretty close to the rear lines to provide ranged fire support at first, as a reserve to move out when there was a heavy threat to engage. Henry and Suprana are the main assault.

Honestly, Miyu would have wanted Fran in the expendables squad meat shielding for Henry and Suprana, but she doesn't think Fran'd follow that order.

[Lucius Cypher]

Yeeeeeeeeaaaah sorry. I wrote that post long before I read yours. I was kinda in a rush to get it out, and yeah, it'd make more sense for her to be on the frontlines with her Sweet Lolita then hanging out in the back with Balrog. But hey! Maybe I could convince Balrog to say "Fuck that big mouth angel bitch, let's just crush them all!" She is a succubus after all. Influencing others into making bad decisions is her species's specialty.

Mushroom Skeleton

"I brought a knife to a gunfight, and I'm still gonna kick ass."

Name: Bonesword is all he goes by, and all he will respond to when asked about his name.

Title: The Bonesword

Age: Unknown.

Gender: Male

Allegiance: Mankind.

Race: Demon.

Height: 5'9".

Personality: A silent, brave, and valiant heroic type.

History:

Hider

A long time ago, a single mushroom was growing in a forest. A purple mushroom, with green spots, and a very bone-like material as the stalk. Years later, a skeleton rose from the ground in that spot, his skull topped by the head of a mushroom, and his soul free. He began to roam the world, eventually finding a human settlement where he attempted interaction, and was hastily rejected due to his appearance being frightful. Saddened and discouraged, the skeleton roamed more, stumbling across a demon settlement, where they welcomed him as a brother. There he learned how to live for himself and how to care and defend people he loved.
Eventually the demons were enraged at the humans, who slaughtered the livestock and burned down a forest. When the skeleton heard the demons were going to go and pillage the humans, the skeleton was glad to join in the endeavor, and marched onwards to go and kill the humans who insulted him so long ago. Once they were there, the demons slew all of the men in the settlement, leaving only the women and children captured.

As the demons rejoiced in their victory, the skeleton couldn't help but feel remorse for what he did that day, how he killed those men, and what the demons were going to do to the women and children... Right before the unforgivable happened to those captured, the skeleton drew his sword in the name of justice, and defended the humans with all of his might. The amount of blood spilled that day was unforgettable and traumatic.

From that day on, the skeleton took an oath to himself. He would defend mankind with his life, until either the day he died for good, or the day that mankind betrayed him.

Powers:
Parry
Quickly dodge a physical strike and in return disarm the attacker. Does not work with projectiles or magic. Failure results in being stabbed.

Bullet Time
Simply slicing a projectile in half, no matter how large the size is. Does not cut magic or melee attacks, and failure leads to this power being unable to be used for the rest of a combat sequence.

Bladeturn
Turning your blade so it reflects a magical attack, like how a mirror works. Does not work with melee or projectile attacks. Failure leads to this power being unable to be used for the rest of a combat sequence.

Kickstart
Electrify the Shroomblade, allowing for it to swing faster then normal. If the blade touches water before the electricity is worn off, an explosion happens, and greatly damages the user.

Weapons:
The Shroomblade
Crafted specifically for the use by Boneshroom, this blade is indestructible when held by a skeleton, and it's able to conduct electricity. The holder of the blade gains the knowledge of these skills, but will forget them if the blade is dropped, unless they are a skeleton.

Equipment:
A set of marbles, some batteries, and a grappling hook.

Other: Sovngarde's radiant music as a theme.

I will get a picture made for this character when I can, so that's why there's a lack of an appearance yet.

If anything needs editing, let me know and I'll get on it.

@Ryonara

You can feel free to contact Eos with Hibiki. I'm kind of with a certain difficult to come up with a post for her, since she already did all the briefing she could before sending you all off. Being prompted might as well help think of something.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Banana I'm just a player, not a GM, so you have absolutely no requirement to take my words to heart.

But your powers feel a bit video gamey. Not saying what you do is wrong, but the description of how you do them feels like a Moba Champion skillset rather than a roleplaying character.

[TheWendil]

@Banana

I'd have to agree with Gecko. Maybe more specific or more detailed wording for his attacks would be better? I'll have to discuss the drawbacks to his attacks in further detail with the other GMs before getting back to you on that.

@Banana that's kind of what I think as well. You even went through the trouble of marking your character's "ultimate" with a different color.

I'd consider some editing to make it more natural.

[Gardevoiran]

@KoL@The 42nd Gecko@TheWindel
I can do these things. I'll do some revision over the skills soon.

Was there anything else to fix while I'm revising?

[TheWendil]

@Banana

At the moment, no as his backstory seems fine to me.

[Lucius Cypher]

@Banana

You forgot to mention how he is actually fungi made after Fran did her duty in the forest, and that he allows her to call him "Boner" out of honor of her massive weapon.

[The 42nd Gecko]

Alright, so the only Demon I'm waiting on is Suprana to begin demon round two. Iona's only angel to act first round because everyone else has to get there, and Machina still needs Hibiki/Other One, right?

Powers:

• "Enter: the Sharpswordsman"
  With a bright green liquid leaking from the eye-sockets of Bonesword's skull, he becomes insanely accurate with his sword. Legend says that when the skeleton last used this, he decapitated 3 men with a thrown sword. It puts a lot of strain on the skeleton's body though, so it's very rare that he uses this power.
• Communication: Bonesword is able to talk to any sentient plant life, if any exist that is.
• Enhanced Agility: He can run faster and jump higher than a standard human.

Weapons:
The Shroomblade
Crafted specifically for the use by Bonesword, this blade's scabbard replicates the mushroom head on Bonesword, and has proven it's near indestructibility.

Equipment:
A set of marbles, some batteries, and a grappling hook.

Other: Sovngarde's radiant music as a theme.

I scrapped his old powers and gave him 2 passives, as well as one kind of gamey power.

@The 42nd Gecko

You forget that we are not on a post order count this time around. Anyone can drop to action at this point as long as the posting rule is preserved. Effectively, I think that the Demons squandered their advantage by not doing any form of engaging action while they were alone on the field. That's just my opinion, but yeah, that plan/execution was extremely bad when the Demons had to use their head start for a charge on the defenseless position, they were waiting to see what happens.

This was the time when partaking of Graf's tactics, would have benefited you more. But like I said, that's just my opinion.

[Lonewolf685]

Ill post tomorrow, but just assume she's following with Henry if you want to go forward before I get a chance.

Considering KoL was the one who argued so strongly for tactics is now ragging on the side trying to be organized in their attack, I'm suitably enjoying the hypocrisy : )

@Lonewolf685

I'm guilty of hypocrisy of that's the case, even then you clearly forget that capitalizing on one's advantage is a tried and true tactic as well. The Art of War is not ask about delaying, sometime you have to strike fast and hard, like the lightning of you want to a assure a gay and effective victory.

It's only because I don't have my copy of it right now, or I would find the proper quote from Sun Tzu to describe what I just said.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL My plan relied on the concept that team demon would not be revealed before Balrog fired, by the Machina attacking and people with general omniscience.

But this very much did not happen, and the Angelic guard was raised effectively immediately.

And while there may not be a strict posting order, I still don't particularly like time lapsing people.
