[OOC] The War of the Three

[Ryonara]

@Lucius Cypher Cool.

Anyone else notice that the only battle that matters at the moment is Suprana vs Diana vs Bastion And the Pussycats... Which is actually just the GM's?

I suppose Torag and Miyu are going to help, but Bastion is apparently threatening to insta-pown Torag, and Miyu is pretty much incapacitated. Ryonara's siblings are still stuck on the Hapless Angelic Guards, last I checked.

@The 42nd Gecko

Sorry for the wait, things are kinda busy on my end. I'll try to put up a post as soon as I can. And I actually plan to have Hibiki take some potshots at Diana in my next post, after leaving Shizuka behind to take care of things. Kinda don't really know what else they could do but take everything and go. Seems like we don't need to try too hard to destroy the base.

@The 42nd Gecko

Either way, they are all in close proximity of one another, so anyone can possibly interfere in the fight, granted that the Machina would have a massive numerical advantage plus Bastion on their side, if all those characters were to gather and Suparna would be on a serious pinch.

We will see what happens when it happens.

As for all this issue about teleportation? It all came up to a hack to allow @floodtalon Henry to avoid one hit from Juno (I'm considering that the initial explosion will be ignore as always) only to have her give up on being a girl snake and do a Hellzone Grenade like attack, to how they can dodge/block dozens of black hole/plasma explosions in their face.

I'm trying to pursue the fun route, but if it gets to the point where Juno has to obliterate the opposition, like Bastion plans to do with Torag, just to land a hit because of those situational counters keep on being piled up one after the other, she'll do it, nonetheless.

[TheWendil]

Yeah that's another thing. Henry seems to be avoiding hits here along with some other characters. At least Tartys got a kunai in her arm.

[LHudson]

I asked because there's also an invisible cat ninja cyborg that will probably have to be seen so people react to her.

@TheWindel

Yeah it's one of the Killas. I'm keeping the writing from the perspective from my character as I transition into complete familiarity, so he isn't going to pick up on background details in the brief moment between attacks.

@LHudson

Alright. Might have to collab his encounter with the ninja cat cyborg then.

[KoL]

@Ryonara

No worries. I tried to not mess too much with the scene where Hibiki and Shizuka are, because of that. The other events are happening on the background while they prepare their attack, as far as I'm concerned.

@The 42nd Gecko
Angelic cheerleading squad seems like a very good idea for me. On the next battle I'll be sure to stuff some valkyries on cheerleader get up and see what happens. I'm sure that @Lonewolf685 Queen Hildr will not be opposed to this idea...

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL Angelic Cheerleader is basically the two word summary of one of my three characters in the pipeline.

Maybe I'll hurry her up so that she can assist.

[TheWendil]

@The 42nd Gecko

Did you ever make the edits to your character in pending?

[The 42nd Gecko]

@TheWindel Yup, latest version is on my CS post under "pending".

[TheWendil]

@TheWindel Yup, latest version is on my CS post under "pending".

@The 42nd Gecko

Post it here so we can review it.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@TheWindel@KoL@Lonewolf685
The only part that changed.

Weapons: Her Oathblade is a magically augmented steel, that has served her well. It holds a keen edge and has not broken or blunted yet. It is also cursed or booned with the souls of all her fallen comrades. She does not know this, and thinks the pained voices are simply her own trauma, and not the fact that the Angel of Death has been futzing around to try and turn the otherwise worthless Order into a real force. The Oathblade currently draws upon the souls inside it to be very resilient, but if a necromancer with mastery of souls rather than just bones and bodies got ahold of it, or Alexi learned to harness its true potential, the power might be quite something.

[Flood]

Yeah that's another thing. Henry seems to be avoiding hits here along with some other characters. At least Tartys got a kunai in her arm.

@TheWindel

His entire leg and half his arm got blown off. The only reason he's still going is because he's using the equivalent of a magic bandaid by making an arm and leg with his Silver Eyes.

[TheWendil]

@The 42nd Gecko

She's fine by me then. I suspect she'll be fine by the other GMs as well.

[Flood]

I'd like to make a minor complaint here, but it kinda seems like some of the characters made are unbeatable. Take for example Juno, as far as I can tell everyone who has even looked at her this battle is now going to die basically because she can just crush everyone to death with gravity and infinite laser beams. I kinda get it for the big leaders, they would obviously be very strong to lead their faction. But Juno and apparently Bastion having that kind of power? It seems a little unfair unless there's some sort of counter, like how last battle with the Leviathan had the counter of the sword which could kill it. I don't know, maybe I'm just salty that the Demon's are getting stomped this round, but it does seem like the scales are really tipped in one direction. Especially since the Demons were supposedly going to have an ally if the Machina didn't do a side mission. Which they didn't.

[Flood]

@The 42nd Gecko

Iona can't take part on those battles, she's way stronger than any other character on this RP except a few other non-combatant NPCs, at most she can be used as an eventual special weapon of sorts. For the other characters, yes this RP fills me with ideas for both reusing old ones as well creating new characters, specially when it's part of a bigger metaverse we work on, in case someone failed to get that up to now.

This brings me to another point. For the Machina units, Eos has a special mission which will likely determinate which second character I'll use on the next battle as well as other things I still need to think of. In case you succeed, I'll pull some strings to have another old acquaintance of some of you fighting for the Machina, if you fail, I'll have a mind raping Demon be on it instead, making things much harder for the Machina.

@KoL

This was the post for the Machina side mission in case anyone forgot what I meant btw.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@floodtalon Isn't this how all Windel/KoL threads go? Start by getting your ass handed to you a couple times by the big bad story characters, then eventually make a bargain with the Joker to get enough power to start fighting back barely, and then in the third act all the big bad story characters start inexplicably performing at a tenth capacity.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@TheWindel If/when you add Alexi to the chart, go ahead and change Miyu's title to just Honorless Blade. Punchier, and the other bit means nothing.

@floodtalon

I'm not even going to touch Juno's case and will leave that up for @KoL to dispute. KoL will also gladly tell you that the Demons screwed themselves over and have no one else to blame but themselves; again, consult KoL on that. As for Bastion, she's a weapon and was the prize everyone was fighting for in the first battle. With that in mind, what did you expect? That she wasn't going to be some broken thing? There was a reason why every Faction wanted her.

Aren't you only in here and Shattering? Hardly a track record for you to be pointing patterns there.

@TheWindel

I'm not going to argue that the Demon's screwed themselves by trusting Miyu. They totally did. What I'm arguing is that these "Hero" characters are definitely broken. Like, automatic game win broken. Why bother even having the round if the "Hero" is just going to autowin it by pure brute force? It's just something to consider in the future when doing this sort of thing.
