A three-way battle. Or more. Either you figured that out the first time, or this'll be a first time for you.

Care to partake in a three-way?

Divinity Vs Dazsos!

Now we duel in the hypothetical?

It's taken me a month to care enough about battling hypothetical arguments again about the redundantly hypothetical. I do so, in the most drunk of tenses, and I hope never to insult with these random etchings in to eternity's vast buttocks of cybernetic space.

Well Myron too is packed with over-powered abilities that could be made in to slang OP over several turns of preparation that might block extreme offenses such as lightning bolts and time paradoxes. I was not initially expecting to use them, and I assume they would take too much for my feeble fingers to write how many preps it might take to summon them.

Perhaps it is I who should forfeit?

I don't know, does it matter? Oh great entity that depicts what is important later, would you mind dictating what comes next?

Oh?

You don't give a shit, either? I totally understand. Let's go do something important with our lives, like make money, or wax our genitalia.

Divinity Vs Dazsos!

It's a good thing my aim was to absorb that storm in to the void. That tactic would've flied way better outside of T1EA, from how I see it, it kind of appears like a prep working in the background of other preps. But I guess one whole turn of focus all of a sudden would fit it in. If we did go with T1EA, and I just stacked turn after turn of fortified defensive preps, we'd have came to a stalemate mechanically.

Equipment & Valuables

↳ Techymos Paragon Rifle EB 2.0: A powerful gun capable of switching between several forms of non-physical ammunition, whilst simultaneously housing a morphing cartridge accepting various common ammunition. Nihaious keeps various forms of bullets ranging from pellet sized, to tankbusters, these require physical allocations on his body. When the Energy Blaster mode is turned on, options appear on top of the gun, these are: Flamethrower, Electropulse, Radiation, Psi-Oscillation, and Antimagicker. A synopsis on each mode is as follows.

Flamethrower: Simple enough, this mode has two switches, allowing for fireball shots, or a steady stream of flame. The oil cartridge lasts a while, up to five minutes of constant fire, and Nihaious keeps an extra canister on him at all times. The fire ball blaster is capable of combination attacks, such as shooting flaming harpoons, or fire coated bullets meant to pierce stronger metals.

Electropulse: Battery charged, this mode shoots extremely powerful vibrations that cannot be easily emulated, or constantly fired by your average mage who requires charge-time. Each pulse is widespread, capable of disrupting electric signals, both electronic and bodily. Most armours are pierced by the wave, but it dulls when travelling through physical bodies, and travels at a mere 40-60mph.

Radiation: A similar mode to the electropulse, however the pulse emitted attaches to whatever struck, further expunging radiation from that point. The point of this form of ammunition is to erode opposing armours, as it is capable of eating through virtually all physical constructs. Even adamantium isn't immune to the radiation, however its fortitude endures for longer than most any other material.

Psi-Oscillation: The most illegal ammunition made my man, it is literally made of captured spirits, fused with psychic energy, and has a very limited quantity of shots. When facing enemies who manipulate spirits or dark arts, the oscillation bullets from this blaster mode are capable of negating or disrupting the raw spirit. Enemies who use spirits to their aid will be confused by the multitude of spiritual energy, and those who devour spiritual energy will find the fusion of unnatural energies suffocating.

Antimagicker: Raw antimagick, in the form of bullets! Useful when countering opposing spells that require consistent raw magic, however a happy trigger is necessary in order to mitigate charged spells. Elementalists may find their chosen element, if sent as a projectile, difficult to negate, however the energy pulse will deny them control over any area shot.

↳ Psion Eyeglasses: When charged, these simple looking eyeglasses radiate psions and electrical pulses outwards at various oscillations, allowing detection of various energies. It's easy to detect lifeforms through walls and solid objects when wearing these, and they come in a variety of fashionable colours. Their primary use is detecting optical illusions, due to the change in oscillations, pulses will ignore and make most illusions appear ethereal.

↳ Hyper-echo-sensitive Armour: A high tech energy armour that automatically emits bursts of kinetic energy outwards from the wearer when certain sound barriers are broken. Gunshots, explosions, and offensive sound-based magic or technologies are rendered obsolete without some kind of silencer. The energy output of this armour is intense, which is why it works best in burst intervals, however it can be activated manually at a cost. The armour itself resembles a hauberk, and equips several extra components such as bracers and greaves for a form fitting kinetic overlay; the armour itself is made of titanium steel, mithril, and copperwire, making it durable enough to endure a couple bullets even if the barrier doesn't erect. The fixed battery is located in front of the heart, and if struck, activation is impossible thereafter.

↳ Shock Nanobombs: These bombs come in various shapes and sizes, they are Nihaious's primary form of a surprise attack. Having nearly a hundred equipped to his body at all times, all of which only detonate remotely through electrokinesis, they are a weapon uniquely designed for lightning style magi. These bombs are known to survive extreme force impacts, such as being shot out of a gun, without exploding prematurely. The shock nanobomb blast can encompass a ten to twenty foot radius electrical shockwave, which paralyzes anyone caught too close, if not sending them flying. The fragments of the bomb are also charged, they travel farther from the initial blast in undefined chaotic patterns, each piece of debris is capable of providing someone a numbing shock, whilst tearing through medium grade armours.

Talents & Powers
↳ Electrokinesis: Nihaious is especially gifted in projecting electrical pulses from his synapse towards focal points concentrated on mentally. A form of psychic power, however more effective on technology. He is capable of many feats revolving around this ability, such as tapping in to an opponent's thought process to gather 'gists' of what they're planning, although he is not able to completely read minds, he can obtain vibes and intentions, and make estimations based on those. If concentrating hard enough, Nihaious is capable of inserting rogue thoughts, or forcing migraines upon enemies who are not mentally guarded, and if they're within a rough thirty foot proximity. The height of this prowess allows activation of electrically charged devices through mindpower alone, and due to its energy based reserve, using electrokinesis on the self allows empowered motion, increased dexterity, and heightened reaction speeds. Akin to most electronics, electrokinesis requires a steady supply of energy, using it whimsically can result in extreme fatigue, Nihaious equips himself with specialized battery packs in order to fuel his abilities. Various minor-to-high-tier spells revolving around electricity can be cast through electrokinesis, such as prestidigitation, static shocks, and even lightning bolts; more powerful spells obviously cost more energy, however to mitigate limitations, Nihaious is capable of absorbing electricity from various sources.

Divinity Vs Dazsos!

Well, if the win is ascertained, I guess it's no issue to reveal.

Other means of spacial warping and gravity fluxes would effect it, some might break it, others would just bend its shape. The easy way to destroy the barrier is to strike directly at the ground where the rune is located. The outer rim of the rune is only as strong as whatever substance it's written on, whilst the rest of the barrier may literally seem indestructible. Currently the active barrier's weakest point would still be as strong as adamant, but I was sure if you figured it out, Ishtalle would be able to eventually cut in to adamant enchanted ice.

Good game, well played. I'm slightly sorry for being such a cunt, although I've always been aware of how intolerable I can be. If we're forced to fight again in a tournament or something, I'll be willing to play by T1EA; and I'll use a character who doesn't suffer by it.

@Rilla Hey dude, look. I won by being a total anal nuisance. Aren't you impressed?

Divinity Vs Dazsos!

1. Alright, can I have a link to the full list of Corban's 'conceptual skills?' A full list of archetypes in my idea would be mandatory, but let's see what you have. If you're talking about the one you already sent me, that one doesn't really satisfy my worries.

2. If you can't figure it out by the time we conclude this fight, I'll tell you the barrier's weakness.

3. If #1 is the sheet you already sent, then yeah, I guess I'll take the win. It's not as glorious as I would've wanted it to be, as I'd rather keep the fight going, but... whatever works.

Divinity Vs Dazsos!

Alright, I'm back from my expedition. Here's my outtake on options.

1. We could use T1EA. However the only way I'd be willing to work with this, is if I could see a complete list of abilities and spells Corban is capable of. I know you said he doesn't have one, but that doesn't mean he can't. Even if spells can be mismatched, only the archetypes would count.

2. No T1EA, we play by the judge's words. Some aspects of T1EA will apply, such as charging multiple powerful spells at the same time. Not every prep will beat a non-prep. See that barrier of Myron's? You'll need to figure out how to break it, not just overpower it with magic.

3. Decide on a result. A draw would let us forget about everything, but I'd rather witness the fruition of the tactics in play right now, so if you give me a good reason as to why their evenly matched, I'll consider the tie. This is my first time using Myron strictly for combat, and he's a main character in my story, so I want to play around with him a bit more. Forfeiture would be a loss in exchange for sweeping this battle out of sight and out of mind.

I leave the choice up to you now, @Divinity.

Dazsos vs Starfall

Howling winds echoed through the crevasse of earth dividing two opposing forces, one aligned to the nurturing light, the other an agent of darkness. What was apt to come next, the kind of conflict romanticized endlessly through script and lore.

Daos meditated for a moment, enough to gather his bearings. His aura attuned to the atmosphere, and like an extension of his skin, he felt the world around him for traps or oddities, spirits or auras estranged. Quickly, he divined a presence facing him at twelve o'clock, it harbored the dark aura that would chill and erect his neck hairs, if he had any. A shadow approached fearlessly. Common sense convinced the priest that his true enemy neared, no mere civilian would approach a tornado without some kind of rhyme or reason, a death wish perhaps. His storm censored out much of this shady woman's conversation with the other scientists, however the mere act of a mystified and eerie aura drawing closer and closer warranted some kind of defense measure. Daos had many years to his name, and still many life goals to ascertain.

As the barrel hole of 'Lil' Timmy' crossed its airs on Daos, he'd jolt his shoulder enough to throw the staff of Ngma forwards on to the cliff before him which barely held his weight. A tight adamant grip on the golden rod kept it from crashing down and revealing too much power, otherwise the ground beneath him would shatter, as would the boulder. Once blocked by a wall of earth, the priest would be more comfortable in hearing out his opponent's speech. Basic shells and magical ones alike would have a tough time piercing through stone of this thickness, but if he was so unlucky, he'd learn from the first mistake... hopefully.

The bridge swung violently as it was battered about by fierce winds. If the approaching woman dared to close such a gap, she'd find bungee jumping off the cliff an easier feat to accomplish. Her words grew louder, as she meant to collect the priest's attention, yelling over the whistle of whirling winds might take a chore out of her lungs. Daos did hear her, but her words struck a chord, and as they vibrated his eardrums ever so lightly he scoffed as if enduring a screech.

"You defile the sacred, and lay claim to treasures belonging to the honored dead! Take your corrupt and hypocritical ways, and leave this place! Go now! The afterlife won't be so kind to you, for what karma you've lost today! Flee, and enjoy what years remain of your precious life, for if you stay, in the name of the gods, I will be forced to rid you of that privilege!" Daos preached these words loudly, as if the air in his lungs was a magic he could manipulate with ease. No mention of a name whatsoever, for the priest knowingly avoided providing curse wielders with the material they needed to craft their dark arts. Not even a hair to pluck for the voodoo doll. Business was a charade he often avoided as well, for it was an unnatural concept devised outside of nature's plan; although he believed some material wealth might be converted in to his next life, trading to the benefit of evils compromised spiritual worth. His pious nature would surely create an impasse for anyone who relied on speechcraft to get what they wanted.

"Begone!!!" Daos yelled. These were the last audible words invoked before the howling winds muffled sound and sight alike.

What was once a bridge, it would be splintered and ripped asunder by the ever growing gale. Daos meant to put motion to his words, and resorted to forced results. Another unnatural phenomenon was the transformation of a tornado in to a hurricane. For Daos, it wasn't all too paradoxical, the butterfly effect saw fit to create a conversion over spanning time; it wouldn't be instantaneous for him, either, but faster than anything mother nature intended. Before long, the vortex would've consumed the bridge, and with it many hundreds of pebbles, a flurry of gravel and wood chips made such a 'warning' quite dangerous. Daos assumed the woman was capable of surviving, but cared not if she didn't, for he was absolved of guilt, killing a heathen in the name of piety and justice.

Divinity Vs Dazsos!

Myron can't really 'charge' multiple spells at once, he can't charge many of his spells at all! I don't think it'd be right to say he cannot prepare multiple runes at the same time, though, especially since some of his runes are combinations. Making it so it's impossible for him to use certain spells until a 5 turn cap is met would put him at an extreme disadvantage. Certain powerful spells that can be enhanced, he has access to, similarly to charging, but they definitely can't be done in one turn flat. This is where I've constantly mentioned that if T1EA was applied, I'd still be able to say Myron played by the rules.

I'm contemplating the draw right now, I'm gonna' be busy all weekend, so I'll get back to you on that. Feel free to mention what disadvantages Corban primarily suffers outside of T1EA, okay, @Divinity?
