[OOC] The Last of Us

[WilsonTurner]

Question- am I the only one that thinks the little battle between Mr.PaleUnknownRace versus Ms.Demoness is more at home at an anime cartoon/vid than in a roleplay? Sorry, just speaking my thoughts, it IS a bit unrealistic though, even with thick skin. Swords are meant to cut- thick skin doesn't stop cutting, it just means that you have to cut more to keep from getting hurt. Scales, or strong, leathery hides would keep penetration out, not thick skin. If a bullet pierces through an inch of metal, then having a foot of metal doesn't mean the bullet stop penetrating. It just has farther to go before it breaks through.

My thoughts, not me trying to criticize or somesuch.

Well...
I had hoped that I could make my intro post today
but as it seems the chance that I get to do it are extremely low...

[Bearsworth]

Honestly, I was fully expecting him to dodge that sword swing or even mitigate how hard it hit him through a partial dodge. Were the 'victim' someone who didn't have strong skin it would've cleaved straight through their body. That said, I specifically made the sword huge and heavy so that even the blunt force it projects would shatter bones or cause injury even if it didn't cut, so there's that.

I should probably point as well that Shax won't just stop the fight on a whim and walk away. She lives and breathes fighting. She'd happily take on something that has proven itself to be more powerful than her with a grin on her face, because it's not just a challenge, it's fun. She fights to the death, so either one of them dies, or one of them flees, and the one who flees isn't gonna be Shax. (I suppose something else could interrupt in some way too, but it would take a LOT for her to even consider dropping the fight.)

[WilsonTurner]

I think my Draconian would beat her. She'd swing, he'd jump out of the way and launch two knives towards her. She'd rush, he'd slip to the side, possibly behind a tree, and fling a throwing axe at her head. She'd try to get in close and hit, and he'd either retreat, or use the environment to trip her up, get behind her, and stab her in the back.

Although having a character that is firmly set on killing anyone and everyone wouldn't be good in a roleplay where the rules state that you can't critically injure someone. You'll have to give it up sometime before the other player gets real damage [which should have happened, whatwith giant sword to the side], or you get killed, or the other player agrees to die.

I still don't like that bit. Taking a GIANT SWORD swinging at you from a superduperdemon to the side and not being cut in half is very unlikely. Even I'd concede that that'd probably cut a Dragon's foreleg to the bone.

Speaking of which, I'm going to make a dragon character. Maybe another Draconian character, a shaman or something.

EDIT: Nevermind, he'd probably die. But he WOULD wound her, for sure. Unless you've got superskin too

The point of Thomas' power was that he couldn't be cut. It isn't just thick skin. And I was thinking about running into you guys to deter the fighting.

[gogojakeo]

I guess that you couldn't really describe Tomas' skin as thick, more like thick AND tough. I'd say that parts of it are quite close to cutting, particularly the parts hit bt the sword. Also, there are parts that can be xut through easily compared to the rest od him, such as the armpit. I'm also about to do an IC.

Lol XD

Edit: I have work today so I'll be largely unavailable. But keep posting!

[Drake Baku]

Damn then I woukd need to rethink runa and balkes intros at least

[gogojakeo]

That moment when you post, only to find that someone posted whilst you were typing -_-

[Bearsworth]

For once I'm not on the receiving end of that.

[22xander]

Sighs, :P

[Bearsworth]

1: Shax was charging at Tomas, not Fox.

2: Fox summons monsters and objects. He can't do literally anything you feel like making him do, as you've been doing so far.

3: You blocked a six foot+ sword that probably weighs more than fox does, with a much smaller sword, with strength far lesser than what Shax possesses, and even disarmed her and disarmed everyone else... All without anyone being able to so much as react. Basically, I'm calling bullshit on that.

Aye, I agree. Don't be "one of those roleplayers," be someone who follows the rules, and sets some down for themselves and follow those too. Make stuff; if a sword is coming at you, fall to the ground, and thrust out your hand, and make a cloud of spices. Spices + nose + eyes = holycrapthisfuckinghurtsgetitout!

HE CANT DO ANYTHING FOR A WHILE NOW, KNOCK HIM OUT AND THE DRAGON DISAPEARS. The whole thing is that he was weilding Calaburn, or mabey Excalaber, and geting possesed by one of his most powerfull spirets arther. He's tired as hell now, and realy cant do anything. Expecialy because the spiret, who has a mind of his own btw, decided to sumon a dragon so that he could just get them to talk. The problem is that if the dragon dissapears, all the things its holding on to will as well. So basicly Fox is defenceless, just if you hurt him at all he will brobly get knocked out at least or mabey even die and your shit will disapear. In any case, even once he dispells the dragon he will be stuck with lesser spirets untill he is at full power, and in the meentime he has to negosiate yalls help or he will die from a stubed toe or something...

I don't care how powerful some spirit possessing him is. You completely stopped an attack that wasn't even being thrown at you and, in the same move, disarmed the warrior Demoness who, as I said before, practically lives and breathes fighting. As such, disarming her would not be something done with such ease. Not to mention disarming the others, summoning a dragon to guard the horde of weapons, shouting out a monologue and then claiming afterwards that trying to knock him out will mean everyone loses their weapons is just... Well.

If this spirit is powerful enough to do all of the things it did in one post, fast enough that nobody gets a chance to counter or even react, then what does it matter if he gets super tired afterwards because clearly he could have killed every single person in the clearing without them having a chance to defend themselves?

This is true.
