[OOC] Open Challenge

[Schradinger]

So is everyone alright with my character?

[Vordak]

I am.

BTW, all but my character's appearence is done. Feel free to judge him.

[LeeRoy]

Yep.

[Vordak]

Seeing that there hasn't been any negative critique in regard to my character, it seems that he is okay too. I'll get to writing down his appearance ASAP.

Meanwhile, shall we decide on a battleground?

[Schradinger]

I've been at work and hadn't had a chance to review before now, but your character looks good.

As for battleground, I was thinking an empty city intersection. Empty meaning no traffic in the streets themselves, but there can be cars parked on the sides.

[Vordak]

I like the city idea. Mind making it a dusk or nightime battle as well? I'll actualy nerf the "Black And White" spell so that it wouldn't become OP if that gets an okay.

[Schradinger]

Wouldn't the black and white spell become less effective at night?

[Vordak]

Yes, the amount of light collected would be less, but the opponent would spend two turns in nigh pitch black darkness, as the spell's absorbtion would capture the miniscule amount of light available to them. So the effect would be pretty much the same - a stark, disorientating contrast between black and white, but a little more in the favor of black this time.

[Schradinger]

Well either way, it shouldn't really matter if it's day or night, since it's a city and it's not going to be dark anyway.

[Schradinger]

First IC post is up, and in case it's not clear enough, it is nighttime.

[LeeRoy]

Vordak can go ahead of me.

[LeeRoy]

Mik isn't a primate, not in the slightest.

[Vordak]

Yes, but Vos thinks he looks like one. Hairy and a humanoid.

[MelonHead]

Want another player so you can have two 1v1's and have the winners fight?

Just wondering, I haven't had chance to fight in the Arena for a while.

[Schradinger]

Sure. Post your character and we'll look him over.

LeeRoy said
Doesn't use his knees, letting his knees get grabbed in combat is a sure way to have your leg broken. It's easy to get your foot out of someone's grip, it's hard to get your knee out.And no, just his hands.

Eh, not really sure I agree with this, its incredibly difficult to grab someone when they knee you, whereas a kick leaves your entire leg extended. Though my only experience is stupid uneducated brawls.

[LeeRoy]

If someone brings an upward knee into your gut/diaphragm, the way I was taught, wrap both of your arms underneath their knee. And pull backwards. You may be out of breath, but they're going straight to the ground. Head first too.

Azarak

Azarak the Warrior

Name: Azarak

Race: Demon-Spawn

Age: Between 100 and 200 years old

Appearance: Demon Spawn are capable of manifesting themselves in one of two forms, though the transitionary stage is incredibly painful and despite the rapid regeneratory process that occurs during the transition one is incredibly vulnerable during the process.

Demonic Form: The true visage of the Demon-Spawn, larger than life and often vaguely humanoid in appearance, age tends to bestow additions to a Demon. Azarak is not particularly powerful, belonging to the basic warrior caste of Demon-Spawn, he still stands at nine feet tall with powerful shoulders huge muscles and dark-red skin. Sharp claws adorn each finger and thumb and his teeth are unnaturally pointed. His ears are also pointed and his nose is simply two holes in the front of his face. His eyes are sunken and a dark red glow illuminates them from behind. Overall he looks pretty damn creepy.

Weight: 460kg

Strength: With full access to his demonic strength, Azarak fights like a beserker with the ability to flip an average car with both hands or lift a tonne of weight with considerable effort with a single arm. Strength is however his main attribute in this form, and allows him to jump long distances and carry out other feets of muscular superiority.

Durability: Obviously complimenting his strength, Azarak's dense muscle mass allows him to simply sponge low calibre rounds as insignificant flesh wounds, and his body is of course conditioned to sustain the weights he can lift so one would not expect any mortal to be able to physically inflict damage upon him without weaponry. His endurance is demonic in nature, it is rare at best for any demon to be exhausted from physical activity.

Speed: Capable of running at a steady 50mph in a straight line, his muscular strength allows Azarak to carry out powerful movements, many foes have been surprised by the larger demon's speed.

Agility: Such a bulky form is of course limited, making his agility his weakest attribute, Azarak cannot move to face a much faster and smaller opponent easily. Though one shouldn't consider him a lumbering giant, he would certainly be closer comparatively than other faster characters in his Demonic form.

Regeneration: Being in his Demonic form allows Azarak to quickly heal from light wounds, due to demonic blood promoting repair in demons, while being highly corrosive to any other organism.

Claws: His mainline weapon, sharp eight inch blades adorning his digits. Demons have been known to rend iron armour in two with little effort with their claws, so they can be lethal when applied to flesh or ordinary kevlars and other lesser armours.

Ultimately, his greatest ability in his demon form is his access to his two basic demonic powers, the physical and the elemental.

Physical: Manifesting sharp obsidian spikes from his body at hide speed provides Azarak with a ready supply of weapons, and his armour is basically an exo-skeleton esque extension of his biological body, providing protecting roughly comparable to steel in areas that aren't required to move. (He can't just manifest his exo-skeleton on an elbow joint.)

Elemental: Demon-Fire, the ability to produce and control a form of fire which is demonic in origin, burning non-demons at a temperature roughly 2000-2500 degrees celsius, it can't be put out without magic, though it takes time to produce anymore than a small amount of it, and it can't spread naturally without energy and concentration.

Humanic Form: In his human form Azarak can just barely pass for an unusual looking human being. Thin and tall, he still has unusually sharp canines and if one looks closely his irises have a red hue. Otherwise he seems like an ordinary man, with short blonde hair and generic facial features.

Weight: 77 kg

Strength: Significantly reduced in his human form, Azarak can just barely lift 250kg with both arms. This does make him significantly stronger than the average man though.

Durability: Without his muscular durability Azarak can be killed far more easily, though his general biological structure has to support a far greater than natural strength in his thin form, he can take a few shots and reduce the liklihood of limbs being severed or bones being broken. His endurance is still demonic in nature though, so he can fight for at least a few hours.

Speed: Lacking the pure muscular strength his sprinting speed is only 30mph at most.

Agility: His thinner form provides Azarak with a far greater agility, reacting thrice as fast as any human and maintaining a human body capable of using his faster reflexes, this is his main advantage other than subterfuge in his Humanic Form.

Azarak can't access his demonic power effectively in a Human Form, though he can cause up to two obsidian spikes to pierce through the skin it causes him to bleed.

Common: In both forms Azarak's demonic biology allows him to defy poisons and chemical which would effect ordinary humans. Also, fighting directly increases his resistance to most negative effects he has no specific defences for, though only through partial resistance.

Azarak is a master fighter, and capable of most if not all physical feats possible for human-kind along with extreme acts based upon his supernatural strength.

The transition faze: Strangely similar to the fictional representation of a Werewolf transformation, Azarak changing forms involves breaking bones and incredibly quick regeneration, which provides him some resistance despite his vulnerability. It takes about ten/twenty seconds to change with a lot of noise and blood.

[MelonHead]

Alright, thats Azarak, if he'a too OP in his demonic form he can stay Human if you wish.

[Schradinger]

I'd have to say the demon form is a bit much. I'd love to fight him at full power with Ahven sometime though. With him being a demon and Ahven a demon hunter, it's a match made in, uh... Hell? Lol.

Anyway, if you forego the demon form it looks good to me.
