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.


I've already argued for Bastion's case. From day one she was going to be a weapon for whatever Faction ended up winning her; as it turns out, the Machina ended up winning her. The first battle in the RP boiled down to who got Bastion first. If you didn't see that coming, perhaps go back to read the first few IC posts because it's pretty obvious. Furthermore, Bastion isn't even near PCs and is only interacting with GM characters. I don't see a problem here. As for Juno, I'm again leaving that for KoL to defend since this isn't the first time Juno being OP has been an issue.

I wanted to ask a question. I'm working on a second CS for this, but I wanted to ask if a viable power would be something that ignores powers and Gold/Silver eyes, and rather bases the fight off of an even playing field. I'd design the character to have virtually nothing else power-wise, rather just having that. Would that be acceptable?

PM the GMs about that, though it should be in the realm of possibility depending on what you have in mind and what can be arranged.

I can accept Bastion, so far she doesn't seem too broken and I can understand your argument. I guess my main problem is with Juno. Because everyone fighting her has exactly two options, run like a bitch or die. With KoL sometimes choosing the second option for you.

Obviously the only solution to dealing with powerful enemies is to make yourself more power to deal with them! Or at least hope to God or whatever listens to your prayers that you can get a job done without incurring the bored fury of your local war deity.

You could try begging and groveling too.

Yeah, like I said, if you want to talk Juno talk to KoL. Juno being OP is nothing new and many things have been done to try and balance her out with mixed results all around. But ultimately that falls back on KoL. Nothing we can do except wait for them to reply to this.

@floodtalon As previously displayed, militarily achieving dominance over the field of battle does not equal winning.

At the end of the first battle, the Machina were the only ones left standing on the Elicitor. The Demons won.

The fight outside the Volcano is in the end, a big song and dance that serves to distract characters until someone who chose to fight the meaningful battle on the inside wins.

I'm willing to bet that if someone finally does win the battle outside and there's no one left standing but one side, things will pause long enough for the internal battle to resolve and pick a winner, rather than Juno coming inside and trashing everybody and autowinning for Team Angel.

Concerning Juno, I'm honestly thinking of her as one of the Behemoths from Battlefield 1. If not approached in the right fashion, she'll destroy everything you hold dear, though if the teams do that thing that directly counters her abilities (Fighter plane vs the Zeppelin, for example), then you stand a much greater chance of victory.

It's also equivalent to a bunch of noobs in an RPG thinking they have the abilities to take on a raid boss.

This is actually a perfect segue into the next question I wanted to ask. @TheWindel is there going to be a period of time in between battles where characters can train themselves up to get stronger? Because I definitely have some plans for Henry and him getting way better with the Gates of Tartarus and his Silver Eyes. It just needs him to train for a few weeks, maybe get some help from Sliske (if he ever stops throwing a temper tantrum on the moon)

Most likely. There's always a cooldown period between each battle.

I'm afraid I wasn't in the RP for the first battle, so I don't exactly know what you're talking about. I'll take your word for it though.

One of the solutions of nerfing Juno in the past has been "everyone just team up on her". That's had mixed results so far.

Have my handy dandy summary!

Awesome walking fortress Elicitor has something everyone wants.

Angels attack from above, Demons from below. The angels get shot up by artillery and Grafdakka, Demons get shot up by Victoire corrosive toxin'ing whole valley. Victoire seems confident that her corrosion will eventually destroy Elicitor's legs and ground it.

Suparna gives Fran a lift on her way to kill/rape a bunch of angels, and then puppets the angels when Fran's done.

Gwynn bounces off Grafdakka's hull a few times with both of them failing to achieve much, other than disabling Grafdakka's jetpack.

Victoire launches more magic at Elicitor while making speeches. Azaezel and Gwynn order their minions to fight Victoire and her stuff.

Suparna and Silana don't have matching goals, but truce to take out Shii'ell and Falz. Shii'ell and Falz are not doing great.

Diana renders the entire battle moot by finding the objective, which is a girl named Bastion. HIBIKI and SHIZUKA force Diana to prepare for trouble and make it double.

Raziel spends 750 words establishing how awesome he is before spending 50 words actually joining the battle.

Finally, Fran taunts angels.

~~

Page 2

Victoire throws a temper tantrum and starts gathering all the blood from the battlefield to make everyone know she's throwing a temper tantrum, probably with powerful magic.

Diana yells at bats and tries to run away. Aqua shows up to help mecha maids.

Suparna and Silana continue sniping at each other in the wordy way while they continue sniping in the attacking way at Shii'ell and Falz. Kiss already.

Grafdakka lands a hit and has Gwynn's halberd. Gwynn opts to bravely ask Raziel to help so that she can go find Diana. Raziel does so while Azaezel launches himself at Victoire. Victoire runs away while dropping her blood ball as a distraction.

Shii'ell and Falz hop on the bravely run away away train.

Bastion gets shot but is alright, not great, but alright. Is concerned about people's safety.

Grafdakka gets a little classical with his musical choices as he tanks lightning and fire like a boss, and shoots more. Really, that's kind of understood at this point that wherever Grafdakka goes, bullets spew forth.

Suparna and Silana split up. How tragic. Suparna has the sleepers activate and hurt fortress walky place's defenses. Silana is met by Victoire's teleport.

Aqua, Diana, Bastion, Hibiki, and Shizuka decide to have a S&M convention, and Diana and Bastion draw the short straws. But Gwynn busts in and wants to get to dom Bastion instead, and so tries to Shining Elbow Aqua, but Diana is jealous and gets in Gwynn's way. As Gwynn and Aqua fight over who gets to be dom, Hibiki and Shizuka sneak away with Diana and Bastion.

Raziel lightnings more.

Suyiketsu enters the brawl. Er, fortress.

Page 3

Silana and Suparna get back together (re-establish truce)! Go go matchmaker Victoire!

Aqua realizes all the other subs have been taken while she wasn't looking, so she convinces Gwynn to join the bondage party as her sub.

Krinsa snipes then joins the fight, killing some angels, entering the fortress.

Grafdakka. I'm totally biased now. He's the best. Fights Mr. Fancy Pants lightning angel and opts to close the tunnel behind the Elicitor in a glorious explosion fight.

Fran's more of a team player than everyone else. Which is not saying much.

Raziel loses an arm to the awesomeness that is Grafdakka. But manages to stay on the Elicitor in return, and fights Suparna's angel puppets.

Pilot Guy is taken hostage by Suyiketsu. Against Krinsa, who is on the same team as Suyiketsu.

Azaezel gives up on the fortress and starts toasting the enemy forces left outside.

Raizel is now somehow outside the fortress and coordinating bombardment on it, despite it being underground and the tunnel between it and the surface having been collapsed. Huh?

Suparna pokes holes in Victoire's plans. Also kisses Fran. Silana agrees with Victoire's plan, without addressing the holes. Suparna leaves again.

Endian seems to confirm that the fortress is now visible to the sky bombardment... Somehow? I really thought Grafdakka sealed the entrance.

Grafdakka shares my confusion about the Schrodinger's position of the Elicitor. Grafdakka launches himself at the enemy via giant missile.

Azaezel ignores Raziel's commands and leaves. Probably a good thing, as my money is Grafdakka's about to send his fusion reactor critical.

Krinsa and Suyiketsu talk for awhile, then start moving as the defense systems come back to life.

~~

Page 4

Declarations and counterdeclarations about defending Bastion. Gwynn and Hibiki exchange names.

Silana wants Fran for herself. Or at least without Suparna.

Demon attack on cargo bay. Lots of converted machina zerg rush and eat bullets, then Victoire attacks with their blood.

Fran wants to steal Gwynn from Aqua.

Victoire renders the entire battle pointless by teleporting to Bastion and Diana, then teleporting them to her fortress. This entire battle could have been avoided by having one sleeper agent send Victoire a snapchat of Bastion.

Gwynn gets killed by corrupted machina, Fran is captured by Aqua in her place. Fortress arrives at machine city.

Victoire attempts to use fire as a torture against a dragon. Wouldn't a dragon be pretty darn heat resistant to avoid killing itself?

Omega, Torag, and Sliske make their entrances.

@Mega Birb Hmm.. Not sure how well D&D style would work for this. The large army groups would be a pain.

D&D is designed more for a party composed of complementing parts. It's also not very good at emulating the Superhero level variance in stats we have, in my opinion.

One of the Anime D20 systems might kinda work, but I'd still lean more towards something like Exalted where it's assumed that if you invest everything you've got in something, then you are insanely mountain tossingly good at it.
