The changeling was in reference to a star wars quote in reference to GreivousKhan.

I briefly considered the name IronHorse would be native american, so if I had to bet my life I would have gone with that, but then for some reason him being a viking sounded right. Like he had a beard or something. Or maybe I'm off my rocker.

@ImportantNobody

It's not easy to tell in that post, so my apologies.

I think it might've been a reference to Sleipnir, Lokis' eight legged horse child, and the fact I believed many old age vikings had iron/steel weapons. *history isn't her best subject folks so be gentle at correcting her, and braces*

@Fallenreaper

A lot of quotes makes things hard to read sometimes. The original way of having quotes looked better at separating stuff, I think.

So am I sort of right about his viking-ness, then? So he's a native american viking? (actually, vikings did go to america at some point, I heard)

@ImportantNobody

No, I was merely stating that might've been where the viking thought came from. He's only native american as I would have a very hard way to reason how he was both.

So far the NoW field looks balanced even though some (Melon) will complain, but if he didn't we'd know someone hacked his account. All characters thus far have been compared to a baseline character. Some a smidge over, some a smidge under but everyone can beat everyone else and that is parity.

@Skallagrim

I was actually going to ask you about that. I was thinking about changing my character's abilities a little bit. Defining some stuff a little better. I don't know. Presuming I make the cut. What are your thoughts? I know the one set of abilities are pretty vague.

[Athinar]

One thing I would say though is characters 'limiting their abilities' for a fight are kind of bad for story reasons, because logically speaking you're not going to let yourself die if you're overcome with one hand tied behind your back, you're going to remove the restriction and kill them back, which isn't fair unless your opponent has a similar ability to remove their restrictions.

My recommendation would be to just leave each power level as seperate points in your character's timeline, where he can encounter a foe at each point, but that's up to you, just be aware that I won't tolerate any power changes mid-fight if we do spar.

@MelonHead

Ah, don't worry, I won't change his power level mid-fight. Athinar is technically immortal, so he views his physical form as a puppet in a play. He won't care if one form dies, he can always create another one later. But thanks for the suggestion!

Also, maybe Adrian at Low-Powered, or the Clockwork Man at High-Powered for a matchup idea?

Send me the revised character.

[yoshua171]

@Skallagrim I sent you a PM a few days ago in regards to character things. I'm patient, I'd just like to make sure I'm not being ignored haha ^^;

[Skallagrim]

Did you see my post? I will be pming those in with tweaks if need be by wednesday.

Since you don't know me as well as others. Generally if I am not in a flurry of pms to you. You are probably ok and need not worry.

[yoshua171]

Kk, sorry to bother ya if I did ^^;

[Skallagrim]

Nope. Just going over battle grounds to not give Melon an advantage. As it is he is going to be tough.

@Skallagrim

I need to develop a robotic character codenamed "Anti-Melon". He's our only hope to stop him now.

[Skallagrim]

Well if the odds are in your favor IN, you won't face Melon first round.

[ImportantNobody]

I think Raln may be in another tie (double kill) scenario for my latest ranked tournament, getting killed by his opponent's dying breath. Can't catch a break with him.

As for my character in this new tournament, I'll try to finish her over the weekend. She should be able to face most enemy types adequately, but might not specifically be an anti-melon.

[Takashi]

So I've posted a couple of my characters. I'll be accepting challenges if anyone is interested. If not, I'll constantly be adding more. I've got quite a few combat characters to write formal CSes for. I wrote quite a bit in my stipulations, but that was really just to make my preferences clear. Don't be deterred if you see something you don't like in them; just talk to me about it!

[Rilla]

So things.

1) We really need a Multi-Quote system. It works wonders. I've seent it.

2) Every time I see T(insert number here), I harken back not to power levels, but fighting styles. t1 is the one we use, t2 is/was speed posting/Chat battles, etc.

3) It was likely luck, about the gun things, but it also came from a time when I was unfamiliar with guns and knew them to be pretty damn powerful especially at low power levels. While guns are at set speeds and power, they were pretty strong for ranged weapons because often fights were fought within their maximum effective range. Most fights take place within feet of each other.

4) I'm gonna be adding people soon.

5) Melon = Rilla.

6) Having chatted with @Impaqt, he too, will be joining the Super Card in December, which will begin the 1st and last through to the 29th. The next 'season' or what have you, of the ranks will begin in earnest the 1st, with the 'Rookie King/Queen' Tournament, ensuring the winner with either points OR an automatic spot in the Arena King/Queen tournament. Winner's choice.

7) There were other things I was gonna reply too.

General Nonsense!

I'll, depending on my work schedule, Allaria's progress, and things at home, be returning to the ranks.

Also, in the past five minutes, my addled brain(between a funeral and working from basically 6:45 to 3:20) knocked back and forth ideas to run a gauntlet(fight everyone, win or lose, and move on to the next person), or having a 'mimic' fight, which would include fighting everyone(gauntlet) while using their characters. I probably won't even sleep, as I may end up getting called in, as well as having to go out and get wipes and diapers for my kid, who returns today.

[MelonHead]

<Snipped quote by GreivousKhan>

What?! We were inseparable! Think of all the times we...we...did that stuff! The really cool stuff. You remember, right, Melon?

@ImportantNobody

Ehh, now that I think about it I've fought you and Khan multiple times, but I don't think you've fought each other much.

[MelonHead]

@Skallagrim

Yep, that is how you'll be able to tell.

@Athinar

I don't know how much you'd enjoy fighting the Clockwork Man at high-powered in your own high-powered form, it would be highly unlikely that he would engage in melee, as he has the ability to deduce your character's weapons and other capabilities fairly quickly he would just run circles around you throwing grenades and shooting his little pistol.

I'd be up for a sword-fight with Adrian, as long as we agree now that your Katana can't cut straight through his sword.

[MelonHead]

Also I think Rilla might be broken.
