@Kabensaal, what we have here is a classic notion of applying OOC information to IC scenarios.

<Snipped quote>

This does not whatsoever indicate that the bouncer's weakness is being lifted off the ground. Sure, he said that he heals, but he didn't say how he heals. He didn't even say his name, so on the off chance that Antaeus exists in the RWBYverse, and Mokuren knows about it, she still wouldn't know to apply that to this guy in this instance. Setting up a situation for Guess to reply to rather than autohitting him was a good move, but even planning to exploit the bouncer's (unknown) weakness counts as metagaming.


I never said that she knew he had the whole ground pound thingy. Pinning an immortal to an object is the best way to deal with them, and as stated, it is always better to have them off the ground so they can't get any leverage with their feet, and have to flail rather than having a sturdy base. There was no knowledge or exploitation of a weakness, simply logic. The fact that said logic happens to exploit the weakness is just a coincidence.

There is no such thing as coincidence in RPing. In this case her plan of action involves both prior experience with regenerators (it wouldn't be taught in a class becasue hunters don't typically fight people) and a total lack of intimidation for someone who recovers from injury. It shouldn't make a difference this time, however, since I'm sure Guess isn't going to let her foe die so easily.

Not to mention how disgustingly hammy and villainous it is to literally announce your invincibility to the enemy.


That just made me think of the Bouncer to be Sundowner.

Hell the 'Red Sun' theme perfectly fits a fight between him and Mokuren... Does he use explosives as body armour as well? It's not like he'd care about the injuries it'd cause him so he wouldn't even need the shield arm things.

Indeed, a good battle outfit. Fairly somber.

Nice theme. Something that you might listen to on arid south California roads where the winds blow from which Sundowner took his name. Perhaps if Antaeus had fully armed himself before pursuing Mokuren, but as it is he just rushed after her after reviving. Someone with such a useful semblance as he may very well have served as a soldier, most likely a militia given the current robotic nature of Vale's army, when he was younger. Given the hamminess with which he declared himself, I would hardly put it past him to have thought up a unique and awesome but impractical (at least for normal people) fighting style. Still, since he's just the first person encountered, we probably don't want to make too big a deal out of him right now.

I do enjoy coming up with backstories for people we encounter. You can see I've started doing it with the people in the Shelter.

I'm anxious to see the various entries for my contest. The downside of having such awesome ideas is that I can't participate myself.

I'm working on something for the contest but there is a possibility it won't be done by Sunday. If I need an extension I'll let you know the day before the entrees are due.

Prince, you're the last one I need before I post for our mission again.

In other news, I am soon going to begin creating the images for all of our new members who want one. If you don't want me to make you one, make sure to add your name to the 'picture antirequest' section of the conference document.
