[OOC] 2 v 2! The Birth of Two Newbs

[Skallagrim]

Sword, you guys have been around, you know how it goes. You've scaling characters, bring it down to as near equal levels and it should be fine. It's hard to judge, I know, but I suspect you are adept enough to it with minimal inconvenience.

[Sword]

@Skallagrim

That's just the thing. These characters are built to scale. That said, all of the things on the sheet that are causing all of these huge issues more than likely wouldn't be used. I and my partner already agreed to not even bust out the Cosmo Artifacts, which are their primary weapons unless it turns out they are capable of staying level with us. Much less our more meta abilities. As it stands, they'd just be fighting really hard, really strong machines with a sword or two and a gun, which sounds far better than 'multidimensional metaconceptual ultinmate demi-machinae-gods', right?

[Skallagrim]

I am not arguing with you, I am merely stating you NEED to assure your prospective opponents of that. Barti is relatively new to the arena and has not seen nor faced characters of such depth yet. Hence the hesitation and uncertainty.

[DJAtomika]

@Bartimaeus Yo Bart, if I didn't have faith in your ability to kick ass I wouldn't have volunteered as your partner bro.

That being said there's nothing stopping you from changing your character.

I sure as hell am not changing mine.

I have experience that tells me otherwise.

[Sword]

Don't we all.

[Sword]

@Bartimaeus

You have nothing to worry about. As stated earlier, we are pretty decent at scaling our characters to whatever level the characters we are fighting are at. The primary problem abilities will be locked, and we are not so uncordial that we wouldn't be able to work out a compromise should something arise mid-combat. All-in-all? We intend to keep this fairly even. Besides, this is just an exhibition match. Off the record, off the grid. Regardless of whom wins or loses, it's no sweat off either of our brows :)

[DJAtomika]

@Sword I actually feel that Cho had some stuff that works for him, believe it or not.

And I read through the other sheet, and it's actually alright, except for one thing.

What the hell does Riotbreaker actually look like?

[Gundriver]

Hel, what I miss? o-o

[Gundriver]

Oh that's easy, the first few versions look like the dominator from Psycho Pass, the last version is just a sword. IF, it comes down to me using Riot the Max I can show you a picture.

[Bartimaeus]

Id feel comfortable if i could change, my character, as I dont feel Kamato has a chance in this fight.

[DJAtomika]

@Bartimaeus Then go ahead and change .No one's stopping you.

[Bartimaeus]

Is this character okay for this fight?

Dmitri

Role: pyhsical/ magical damage Trait: Strength/ agility Dmitri Valean. Age 31. Weight 182lbs. Height 5'8" Race Human Quote: "Savior is the only thing gauranteed in this world."
Dmitri was a mischeivous talent when he was young, and his loved ones always warned him of dangers, but he thought it was all games. The day he lost it he was outside shooting logs in the water with a slingshot. 'Thwack' 'Thwack' 'Thwack'....'Thump' Hmm? That's not normal.Suddenly to the small boys surprise, a massive reptilian beast emerged from the swampy bog, and lunged at Dmitri clamping its jaws on his left arm. It wrenched its neck, then was gone.... along with Dmitri Valeans arm. For months his father tried to find some way to fix this, and almost too good to be true he did. He connected his sons tendons and muscle sinew to an arm from an acient suit of armour. This armour was enchanted with magic nullification qualities. Performing this task however, killed Dmitri's father because he overestimated his power. And now Dmitri travels the worlds in search of a solution to his fathers tragic death, and he will let nothing...get in the way of that.
Appearance: Dmitri wears no shirt and his brown cloth pants are held up by a section of rope. His left arm is in appearance, a normal armoured limb. But this is his 'Savior Arm'.Dmitri has briwn hair in a common haircut style and blue eyes, and is well muscled.

Weapons: His savior arm has a side affect. It has magic nullification qualities( Said qualities consist of: this arm cannot be damaged by magic and no magic can pass through it, which in turn protects anything behind this arm.
'Dragon Whisker' is Dmitri's sword, and is similar to a jian. It is capable of being combo'd with his magic. The blade is 51cm(20 in) long.
His second weapon is his GuanDao. Its staff length is 4ft and blade length 1ft long.

Powers: Portal Manipulation: Can open portals( 2 max at one time) that himself, other creatures, magic, and all other objects can pass through to exit out the other. 100 ft is his max is his max portal distance away from himself. If any part of someone's body passes through the radius of a portal, that body part will be paralyzed for 3 seconds( affects Dmitri too, but not his Savior Arm) If its not organic, it's not affected by this paralyzation. Some things can cancel this effect, such as rather high willpower or some sort of heal

Nether Screens: Summons 4 thin plates of nether energy to the tip of his sword, which can then be swung of his sword 1by1 as sharp projectiles.
Withdrawal- Sheaths his current weapon into a portal, then draws another. (He only has Dragon Whisker and his GuanDao.

*For the portals: max didtance away from caster is 100 ft. In this range it can be opened anywhere Dmitri pleases, but cannot be in a pestilence, touching another object, or inside another player. Dmitri gains 1 charge in his savior arm evrytime it is hit with magic or a enchanted/magic weapon. He can open 2 portals per charge and stpre up to 2 charges, but can only ppen 2 portals at once. While the portals can open 100 feet from Dmitri, they must be atleast 70ft from eachother.Portals are unstable for the first few second of creation, so there's a slight delay of a second for when you catch a foreign object before it exits out the other end of the portal. After the first few seconds, they can pass instantly. Portals can't be opened within 10 ft of an opponent. The screens travel about 30ft.
The rocket pad can be attached to almost any solid surface, including flesh. So this can basically attach to something and send it flying at about 25fps. So Ex: User1 attaches the rocket pad to a weak pillar then presses the button. -TURN 2- the rocket pad activates and sends the pillar flying. Lightning scroll summons natural lightning from the nearest cloud to target location.
here's an example for how the arm works: lets say a peice of paper(AoE atk) is flying at you, if you do an overhead slash(chop) with a knife(arm), it cuts it in half, now the width of the knife(arm) that touched the paper is destroyed, and the rest of it countinues to come at you. So its basically cutting the AoE in half, and taking a chunk the size of his arm out of it, making it a slightly smaller attack, reducing the damage done to Dmitri. (Bigger AoEs will be affected less while smaller ones will be effected more.

Items: Placeable Jet Fueled Rocket Pad (size of palm)
Zip Ties (enchanted for small amounts of magic resist)x2
Lightning Scroll (summons lightning at target location, one time use)x2
Timebender's Twig (snaps a twig to teleport the user ten feet forward)x4

[Sword]

Seems fine to me.

[DJAtomika]

I guess that's alright lol.

Skall?

[Gundriver]

Mhm.

[Skallagrim]

I have to admit out of all the troupes I have seen that travel to other sites engaging the arena community, you Drivers, are without a doubt one of the most accommodating in ginning up a fight.

As far as Barti's character goes I suppose it is up to them to accept with or without any modifications.

[Sword]

Alrighty then. Looks like we have the delegations all met out. Guess I'll get my post started.

[Gundriver]

Ah thank you, I don't know if the other part of the group are joining. But so you know, this is only half the group.

[Skallagrim]

I suspected as much. But it still holds, you, by far and away have impressed me in your willingness to accommodate the native community.

[Sword]

@Skallagrim

That's generally how we roll, and I appreciate you commending us for it. Many people are either just outright not willing to work with us, or accuse us of being 'egotists' based solely on the degree of power our characters -can- possess, hence why we have never actually settled down anywhere. But this place so far has been very accomodating, and even has characters matching our meta, something that is VERY rare.

And there are actually more of us, friends and Drivers alike, though they have had very bad run-ins with past forum communities(hence the whole us never settling anywhere thing) and thus are far more stand-offish than we are. So far you are giving me a lot of good things to report to them.
