@Enki
I don't find "But Corban is here!" to be a proper defense for bringing in the biggest guns possible. Corban isn't going to target anyone who is doing anything short of assaulting him. If you wanted to bring in your big guns on your own time, then fine. But saying you brought it just because Corban is here doesn't make much sense, considering you don't have to fight him, or anyone you don't want to for that matter.

<Snipped quote by Enki>

Both of you are right. Both can lead to metagaming. We have to trust you that you aren't metagaming with vagueness and pulling out new interpretations of what is written to better match your opponent and the attacks they are sending at you. Being vague is better for metagaming of the person doing the sheet while being concise is better for metagaming for the opponent. This is an unavoidable problem without trust on both sides.

@ImportantNobody

This.

Corban is vague because a lot of his abilities stem from d&d source magic. A readily available, and easy to locate wellspring of information that is pretty popular among most rp communities. Corban is a mage, and by definition mages utilize principals and components of spells and mix and match then on demand, as opposed to the Wizards Spellbook. The very differences between the terms 'sorcerer', 'Wizard', and 'mage' has a comprehensive article that covers the differences and origins. I'll probably link it sometime for future reference. This is just to say there is a reason deeper than 'I wanna metagame people to death' that Corban's skillset is structured the way it is.

It still requires trust that I won't abuse it, but I think that's kind of fundamental to the nature of the game we play.

@LeeRoy
I meant him being an 'enforcer' of sorts. I'm not sure if the 'dimensional' part of his title was related only to whom he kept out, or if it was also some facet of his skillset.

So. What is Dunnaman about?

@MelonHead
I find the assertion of 'city busting' funny. On my home forum, Corban was listed as mild powers, which was gauged by 'blockbusting'. As in a maximum powered attack should do no more than level/ destroy a city block. He specifically could not, and I don't ever remember destroying a city or tanking a nuke. To let off a city sized attack would be impossible for Corban without it being some story element, or a stupidly high tier fight where all semblance of restraint is a foreign concept.

Enki: Gundams don't really have a general size as I recall. It depends on the timeline (UC, GC?). Some are seventy meters tall while others are like 20.

@Vordak But if you stabbed his legs with knives.... Wouldn't you be hitting him with the the hilts when you throw the leg?

No. I was just responding to the comment you said about no one being better with your characters skills than you o.o

It just seemed it was in direct reference to my training session comment.

Introductory into Arena Battles.

Considering my character is for all intents and purposes 'high' tier here (probably 'powered' to you), I'll take you on in that scale, iffin' you feel you can handle two fights at once.

The copycat training session thing was a joke >_>

Corban's skillset is nothing special save for the Guardian techniques and carbon manipulation. It's just that his skills are highly organized and specialized so that they're pretty much useless in the hands of anyone not quite as eccentric as me.... and that's to say very few people.

@LeeRoy I haven't fought a copycat in ages! It would be one hell of a training session for Corban to fight himself.

What of Dunnaman? I know his general theme from earlier, but any specifics? I've been meaning to fight you for a while now and I'd like to choose the funnest match.

@LeeRoy
What's Longinus all about?
