[OOC] Multiverse Rising (Always in need of New Friends)

[Savato]

@SgtEasy Just for future reference, what kind of grenades are they?

[SgtEasy]

@Savato

Would spikes and bullets going at near the speed of light suffice to destroy the kagune? Or do I need to use explosions?

He is using Inferno Grenades (basically a fiery cluster bomb) and Sticky bombs (a flesh tearing grenade that would make people explode in little bits and kill others around it with shrapnel). He does have normal frag grenades.

[Savato]

@SgtEasy

Wouldn't the speed of light kind of disintegrate basic bullets and spikes?

I'm assuming they have something special so erm, I'd say it could pierce it but get stuck in the middle. Her Kagune is ridiculously potent and mutated beyond the already insanely resilient nature of normal Kagune.

Once again, what kind of explosions? Basic grenades would likely shred small chunks that would be swiftly regenerated or she'd just side step before they'd explode. If it's plasma grenades like in XCOM, they'll likely destroy it yeah if there are many. Though grenades are kind of easy to avoid.

EDIT: So her Kagune wouldn't be entirely destroyed by then, unless he'd put a sticky grenade on it. A single sticky grenade would cut off a chunk, however the shrapnel of her Kagune may be dangerous even to your barrier.

[SgtEasy]

@Savato

Well, bullets isn't really the right term (my fault). It's difficult to explain Mass Effect guns.

Edit: Are Inferno Grenades are the answer? Cool. He won't get it on the first try but he'll eventually get it.

[Savato]

@SgtEasy You could also just use Nova's special orb thing to kill Eto off.

Only to have her return as the One-Eyed Owl from dead world.

[SgtEasy]

@Savato

Does Banha have a special orb thing? I think only Ruiko has that.

[Savato]

Forgot who had it.

Anyway yeah, a bunch of grenades would be enough to destroy one Kagune.

Out of Four.

Out of her two types of Kagune.

Before her Kakuja goes around to pick on people.

[Lmpkio]

There we go! Finally have the heroes up. @Nightknight you may now have your character interact with the heroes, as well as other newcomers who are located in Arcadia-2.

[Flamelord]

Ruiko would use the orb, but I'm not sure how big of a boom it would make.

[Nightknight]

Who are the heroes in the diner? Thinking of using my character's cuteness to get some food. (;

[Absolis]

I think it would make a big one. It's made into a perfect sphere right? And us probably highly dense. Honestly you could just throw it at someone and use it as a weapon that way.

[Savato]

Though I'm going to assume since it's Novas magic stuff it can't affect his allies or something.

Otherwise it seems useless when confronted to real threats like Eto

[Lmpkio]

@Nightknight They aren't at the diner anymore. The heroes in the group however are; Gojira-San, Ryu, Ahsoka, Light, and a few others that I completely forget.

[Nightknight]

Can I say that I spot them walking by?

[Lmpkio]

Can I say that I spot them walking by?

@Nightknight

Sure lol

[Flamelord]

Though I'm going to assume since it's Novas magic stuff it can't affect his allies or something.

Otherwise it seems useless when confronted to real threats like Eto

@Savato

I mean, Ruiko would prefer to not blow up the people who were courteous enough to not immediately attack her, as creepy as they might be.

@Flamelord

Just wait.

Wait and see.

[Flamelord]

Well then, I guess everyone is getting blown up after all. Guess we can call this mission a bust before it even got started.

Please welcome, Nathaniel The Magician's Summons!

(Basically the summons that I would rather you not kill)

Nathaniel Summons

The demons of the Other Place can be summoned into the real-world from anywhere in the multiverse and at any time. Nathaniel needs time to summon his spirits and the more powerful and deadlier the spirit, the longer it needs to summon them. He uses the Amulet of Samarkand protects him from any magical backlash. All of his regular summons are considered by Das Jotunheimen as Agents but all of them have loyalty with Nathaniel and not his organisation.

His demons range from imps, foliots, djinni, admits and marids. The higher the ranking, the larger and more powerful it is. Every single classification of demon has to have some sort of form before entering real-world and most choose the being that fits them or whatever the situation calls for. But it's the amount of magic they have that makes sure that imps can't turn into skyscrapers. Only Marids can.

To summon a spirit, you must know it's true name. If you know it's true name, then they're basically your slaves. But if they know your true name, then you're on equal grounds with each other.

But these are not all of the classifications. There are lowly spirits who aren't even worth mentioning and then there are the great beings of such terrible power that only one (The Magician) magic-user that is alive can actually summon one without outright dying.

All of the classes from djinni and up can fire bolts of magical energy that blows shit up. Of course, the higher the demon is in the ranking, the more shit it gets to blow up. But that is only the basic power. Some control the elements, use fear to their advantage, shape shift into Giants to crush people, go invisible to the naked eye and etc. Ramuthra (the only greater spirit that The Magician can summon) is able to, as a Greater Spirit of the Other Place, warp the elements and change the physical state of whatever he comes in contact with. Due to his nature, he brought the chaos of the Other Place with him.

And before concluding, the less powerful, the longer they can stay in the real world without getting fatigued. I added this in so Nathaniel can't just wreck shit up with Ramuthra all the time. So imps can stay years while marids can only stay for around a week or two. Ramuthra can only stay for around an hour or two.

The following are some of his more notable summons, please note that excluding Ramuthra, they are almost constantly by Nathaniel's side whenever they can (if you notice, there are no imps or foliots in this list. They are that weak):

Bartimaeus of Uruk

This demon has been with Nathaniel from the very beginning, when he went by the name John Mandrake and was an apprentice to middle-class magician. He is known by many names but most of the time his summoner just calls him Bart. The spirit is mostly known for his ingenious plans, cleverness, wit and smartass comments. In the Guide to Demons and the Other Place, he is labelled "intelligent" but has "little to no power". The book has been claimed by some to be false (Bartimaeus in particular), so this may be completely inaccurate.

Bartimaeus is a mid-level djinni and when compared to other demons in Nathaniel's large cadre, he is a mere insect. But he is a valued strategist, a loyal summon and his best friend. But he is able to merge with his summoner at will, giving The Magician his abilities while also anchoring himself to the mortal world. He is known to also be a trap specialist but the traps tend to involve very comical ways in getting rid of someone. He takes the form of a lion because he said that "they were the only animals that were cool enough for him and be able to lug Nathaniel's ass around."

Duros the Sandman

Imagine Nathaniel's surprise when he found out that the Sandman was actually a spirit. Though he is nothing like the Sandman of the tales. Duros is a high-level djinni known for it's ability to make sand. He cannot manipulate sand, he can only make sand. Sounds pathetic but wait your mouth is filled with tiny pellets of sand while you laugh at his powers. He basically drowns people under sand to kill them. He has a very fierce temper and the youngest of his employ. He also has sadistic tendencies and scares most of the imps and lesser foliots it meets. He is known as the sandman for literally creating the Saharan desert so he could drown the humans below for ridiculing him for his powers. He doesn't respect anyone except for Nathaniel and basically hates everyone else.

Sonya the Terrible

Sonya is a high level afrit The Magician uses for his employ. Nathaniel learned her true name when flickering through his book of demons, waiting for his espresso in Neo-Starbucks. She caught his eye because of the kill-count the savage Sonya has gathered over her years fighting for humans. The demon claims she has killed ten thousand spirits in her career but some of The Magician's troublemakers say that 99% of that were messenger Imps. Though that number may be false, the demon's skill in controlling and manipulating fire speaks for itself. Her pyromaniac tendencies may be a problem but her gigantic, explosive, destructive balls of fire is pretty deadly. She is one of the Magician's more regular summons and her signature move of "Spam Fireballs till They All Die" makes her one of his deadliest. Other than her fireballs however, she is quite a glass cannon.

Jannilius the Strange

This Marid is known for his calm behaviour, extensive knowledge of the Multiverse and his reliance on shape-shifting to kill things. Jannilius is an oddity among the demons because as a Marid, you should be an extremely angry, irritated spirit that hates being summoned. Instead, he has a very calm attitude which makes him the most valuable and powerful Marid of them all. A powerful being that doesn't hate your guts and is willing enough to not give you problems is hard to come by. The demon is extremely old and has been in the Other Place longer than most of the Greater Spirits. The reason he has so much knowledge about the universe is that he is actually a creation of Das Jotunheimen Scientists to test whether sleeper agents could be placed inside the Other Place. Unfortunately, the Marid was the only spirit created by the labs before it was blown up for unknown reasons. He defeats foes by shape shifting, his second favourite form being an Ultralisk.

Ramuthra the Most Powerful

One of the most deadly demons recorded in magical history and the most arrogant, Ramuthra should not be taken lightly. Able to warp the physical state of those around him, control and create all of the elements and release such a large aura of hate and death that even afrits fall to their knees, he is the most powerful spirit in Nathaniel's employ. He takes up so much of The Magician's power that he has to merge with Bartimaeus to even summon him quickly enough to even make him worth it in battle. There is a circle around him with a radius of ten meters that will transport any being in that circle into the abyss of the Other Place. Which, unless you're a spirit, means death. Equally deadly is his ability to turn solids into liquids or gas if you are at the most 30 meters away from him. His ability to manipulate and create all elements is quite scary. His only weakness is his arrogance. Against tougher beings (which is very few in number), he will be killed for his arrogance. He has a kind of respect for Nathaniel and that is the only reason why he is able to summon him without getting killed (aside from the Amulet of Samarkand of course).
