[OOC] War Notes

[TheWendil]

To clarify. One one month has passed in time.

[Bushman501]

Ok. I'm officially gonna say I'm pulling out of this. I might return but for now so lomg.

[Lonewolf685]

@Bushman501

I presume you're doing the same for Hirst?

[Bushman501]

@Lonewolf685
Might as well. Again, I might return once the college season is over and I find life again.

[Hammerman]

Oh boy, timeskip. I have to think up Esther's contract being first.

[Zynros]

Twice now, I've written out my concept for Morgan's spirit, and twice now circumstance have prevented me from finishing it and posting, causing the draft of my work to be deleted.

5/5 for annoyance, life

[Awesomoman64]

@KoL

Can the spirits communicate with the Song Knights while they are in their Vessel form?

[KoL]

Sure, that's pretty much what I was thinking about anyway.

[Awesomoman64]

@KoL

I think I did this right. Let me know if I need to fix anything.

Fafnir

Name: Fafnir
Gender: Male
Element: Fire
Rank: B
Height: 5m
Length: 8m
Weight: 2 tons

Personality: Despite his rather intimidating appearance, Fafnir is actually rather docile. Being a lesser dragon, Fafnir knows there are bigger and badder beings out there than he, and relying on brute strength won’t always work. As such he has learned to fight smart and to pick his battles rather than jump on any and every challenge presented. This has led to some contention between him and his over aggressive Song Knight.

In truth their opposing personalities was the reason Fafnir chose Zarin. He figured if he could help the boy learn how to control his anger and pride, he could become something great. To achieve this, Fafnir is more likely to stay back and give advice rather than actually jump into fray himself.

That being said, once he is called upon by his Song Knight, Fafnir doesn’t hold back. If something truly poses a threat to Zarin, this fire dragon will make sure nothing remains but ash and cinders.

Powers:
Fire breath: A staple of all dragons, Fafnir can breathe fire. However, he is able to control the form the attack takes. From the standard flame thrower, to fire balls and even waves of fire, Fafnir has many ways to turn his foes into ash.

Fire Scales: Engulfing parts of his body in fire, Fafnir can create things such as fire claws or a flame shield to give him an edge in combat.

One with the Flame: Fafnir is not just immune to fire, he he gains strength from it. He can absorb any fire not created by him or Zarin and use it to increase in strength.

Incinerate: Channeling all the fire he can, Fafnir unleashes a torrent of flame that is nigh unstoppable. The caveat to such attack is it does require sometime to charge, and leaves Fafnir a bit drained afterwards.

New power ideas

Burning Disk: Spinning his whip at full speed, Zarin can launch a massive flaming disk that can both cut and burn through his enemies.

Flame Dash: In the blink of an eye, Zarin instantly moves up to 10 ft in any direction leaving a trail of fire behind. (Note that this is not a teleport. Zarin is still tangible during the dash and cannot move through anything obstructing his path.)

[KoL]

@Awesomoman64

Those upgrades feel quite well in my opinion. Wait to see what @TheWindel and @Lonewolf685 think of it.

[Lonewolf685]

@Awesomoman64

Looks good to me.

[Flood]

@KoL

Here's my try.

Yuki

Name: Yuki
Gender: Female
Element: Air and Water
Rank: B
Height: 2 meters
Wingspan: 3 meters
Weight: 63 kilograms

Personality: Yuki is rather narcissistic, constantly preening herself and showing off her beauty to anyone who will look. However beneath this beauty hides a razor sharp edge, she is a combatant willing to kill anything that threatens her or her master. She battles with nothing less than the intent to kill, unless Chen orders her to hold back Yuki will try and kill whoever she battles.

Luckily she doesn't like battling for the most part, instead preferring to spend her time being preened by Chen or whoever. She chose Chen because she felt they were much the same in many respects, that and she figured he would be very attentive to her needs.

Her battle style is one of superior mobility and controlling the flow of battle, preferring to pepper her opponent with icicles rather than use raw power to overwhelm.

Powers:
Breath of the Arctic: A beam of ice erupts from her body, freezing anything it touches. The freeze becomes gradually worse as time passes, with a few seconds of contact resulting in a minor layer of ice while a full minute could conpletelt encase something in a block of ice.

Feathery Frost: Yuki's feathers are razor sharp, with a flap of her wings she sends forth multiple blades of ice to slice and dice the opponent. These blades do not melt but they do disappear when Yuki wills it.

Deathly Cold: Yuki can suck the heat out of anything she touches, with enough time this kills all living creatures. This requires constant contact however, rendering it ineffective in battle unless she has support.

Dance of the Decorus: Sometimes the battlefield must be changed if it is to fully encapsulate Yuki's beauty, thus the Dance of the Deocrus begins. A 15 meter radius of raging snow with Yuki at the center forms, the ground freezes over and becomes slippery to everyone inside. The blizzard slowly saps away the strength of anyone Yuki deems unworthy, slowing them down and killing them if they're weak enough. This requires a 15 second charge up with Yuki on the ground but the effect lasts for 3 whole minutes before the Dance finally ends.

Additional Powers

Cold As Ice: Chen's control over Ice has increased exponentially within the past month, he can now use weapons as conduits for his ability to freeze things as long as he's touching whatever he uses as a conduit.

Tools of the Trade: Chen can now create various objects from ice, with complex objects requiring longer periods of concentration to be created. A dagger might take him a few seconds, a revolver may take 10 seconds, while a machine gun might take 30 seconds. These objects do not melt as long as Chen is holding onto them, but once they are no longer in contact with him they can and will melt.

[Lonewolf685]

@floodtalon

Looks good to me.

[TheWendil]

Jörmungandr

Additional Powers

Insert something from KoL here.

[KoL]

@floodtalon

Yours is mostly ok as well, just change those elements to Air and Water, because this is the combination that enables ice powers.

[KoL]

And now people will (probably) realize who's the master of the most kawaii snake of them all.

[TheWendil]

@floodtalon, @Awesomoman64

Accepted.

[Zynros]

Lore

Name: Lore
Gender: Female
Element: Dark
Rank: D
Height: 6 inches
Weight: NA

Appearance:


Personality: Lore is very quiet, conversing very little with anyone, and Morgan is no exception. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the two get along very well, and due to Lore's knowledge and Morgan's travels, the two enjoy the rare lengthy conversations they share.

Powers:
-Telepathy-
Lore speaks by transmitting her thoughts directly to an individual, a form of telepathy.

-Enhance-
While Lore has no combat suitable powers, she is capable of manifesting enhanced forms of Arcanus.

[Eye of the Spirits]
In the enhanced Eye of the Spirits, the standard effects are tripled, allowing Morgan to sense everything in a 30 meter radius, as well as gaining the ability to slow his perception of time by a large margin, but essentially blinding him since both his eyes are affected.

[Wraith]
The effects of Wraith allow Morgan's normally incorporeal transformation to affect the normal world, while still remaining unaffected objects non magical in nature. His form seems far more unnatural under its effects however, his eyes becoming glowing red orbs along with horns and wings of mist forming.

[Book of Souls]
The enhanced form of Grimoire allows Morgan to create a number of clones of himself, exact replicas of him at the exact moment he uses the Tome. Items used by the clones and injuries received don't carry over to the original, unless the item originally came from him, but the effects of their items don't vanish after they do either.

Question. Can I add a 3rd form to Arcanus instead of new powers?
(Arcanus is Morgan's vessel)

Grimoire

Form 3 - Grimoire [The Book of Worlds]
In form 3, Arcanus appears as a black Tome, the size of which can be changed freely by Morgan, with silver runes inscribed upon its bindings and cover. The pages within are empty, but by placing a hand over the crimson gemstone inset upon the book's inside cover, Morgan can transfer himself and anyone in contact with him to a false reality within the book. Time passes normally while in the false world, and both Morgan and Lore can create any object they are familiar with while in the false reality. Morgan can send anyone be brings in out at any time, but once he leaves anyone he brought with him is ejected as well.

[Lonewolf685]

@Zynros

Since the Vessel and Spirit have to be used separately, making the Spirits skill set a better version of the original seems to invalidate the need for your Vessel entirely. An odd choice since the bonus powers are supposed to be what you can utilize regardless of which is active.

I’ll wait on KoL to see before I decide on any opinion.

[KoL]

@Zynros

I don't think that this is going to work for the reasons that Lone cited. The Spirit isn't an extension of your character's Vessel powers, they are related, but completely separated existences. The way you described it, would require for both of them to be used at the same time as well, which isn't possible at the moment.

A third form for his vessel is possible, though it would make the character spread his focus even more (instead of having a set of powers that he can benefit at any given time, he would get yet another form-locked ability). I'll have to think about the impact of a free to use personal fighting dimension. It seems a power pretty prone for abuse, since his targets can't evade capture the way it currently is written.
