Since it's your fight, you're completely entitled to the "trust me to use it properly" method of power allocation, but in someone else's arena that might not work so well.

As for to and too, to is progressive (he went from here to there), and too is an addition (he got a piece of pizza, and a salad too).

Lol. You don't have to kill her to win, just fyi. And you've got the better ranged attacks by far. You can bring a sword too, if you want though.

If it's alright with you, I think I'm going to use a re-imagined version of a canon marvel character from another RP I was in that seems to have died.

X-23

Random Descriptors:
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 200 lbs (due to vibranium-laced skeleton)
Hair: Black
Eyes: Green

History:

All her life, X-23 had only known the inside of the secret weapon X facility where she was raised, only known the countless hours of mental conditioning and physical training she was subjected to as they molded her into the perfect weapon. Even before she fully matured, she was a finer combatant than any of the human agents that trained her, and could surpass them all in strength, speed, agility, and endurance. Initial hesitancy to accept the girl as a worthy successor to the man she was meant to replace began to vanish as she matured, and some even began to believe she would surpass the Wolverine in ability, becoming an even greater asset than they had once hoped he would be.

As the results of her training and conditioning continued to come in at well above their expectations, they began to shape her into a weapon of the future, a weapon geared toward the threats of a new world, where war was conducted from the safety of one's own homeland and governments were toppled with manipulation instead of firepower. Where the Wolverine would have been a weapon of brute force and savagery, this X-23 could possess every bit of those qualities, but also be tempered to engage in more subtle tactics. Tactics that were quickly becoming necessary in the changing world of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Where the Wolverine would have been sent to wipe out entire enemy strongholds wholesale, X-23 could slip in undetected under the guise of an innocent young woman, playing on the emotions of her targets to strike swiftly and surgically, before they even knew they were dead. She was a precision instrument, a scalpel with which they could remove the cancerous members of society, rather than the brute force claymore that the Wolverine once represented.

In the end, they were immensely pleased with their new weapon, and once her training and conditioning was complete they initiated the final step of the project. The last item before she would be released on the world to service the agenda of the highest bidder. They had to graft her skeleton with vibranium, turning her from a mere soldier into a nearly invincible killing machine. While this new coating would not be as durable as the Adamantium grafted to the Wolvernine, it would be sufficient to render her bones and ligaments capable of absorbing tremendous amounts of force unharmed, while still allowing her to pass unhindered through metal detectors and most other forms of security. Where Adamantium turned Wolverine's claws a shiny silver, X-23's would be altered to a dark, non-reflective gray hue, capable of cutting through nearly any substance thanks to their monomolecular edge and the vibratory energy they generate on contact with metals and other similarly dense materials.

The procedure was a success, as it had been with the Wolverine, and once she had been fitted with a spinal implant allowing them complete control of her actions, she was sent on her first mission, the mission that would brand her as either a resounding success or an abysmal failure, as no amount of tests or training could adequately measure a weapons performance in the real world. Only exposure to the world itself could do that, and now it was time for X-23 to prove her mettle.

Powers and Abilities:

With genetics derived from those of the man known as the Wolverine, X-23 possesses an exceedingly potent healing factor that allows her to recover from nearly any wound exponentially faster than any human, healing gunshots and knife wounds in seconds, and even re-attaching an arm after it was severed during a particularly grueling training exercise. The limb returned to full function in moments, and she passed the exercise with flying colors. This healing ability also renders X-23's bodily tissues far more resistant to harm than those of a normal human, allowing her to exert far more force on her body without causing damage to herself. This allows her to far exceed the strength and speed of human males in peak physical condition, despite her small frame and slender muscles.

The claws she inherited from her "father" are similar in position and function to Wolverines, but some slight genetic alterations granted her two claws between the first and second toes on her feet, each slightly shorter than the two in each forearm, though still just as sharp.

In addition to this, she also possesses Wolverine's potent animalistic senses and instincts, allowing her to see, hear, and smell better than any normal human, and at much greater distances. This makes her one of the world's foremost hunters and trackers, though her lack of experience means this ability is still inferior to that possessed by Wolverine himself.

Similar to the adamantium that was bonded to Wolverine, X-23's entire skeleton and the connective tissues holding it together have been reinforced with a vibranium coating that renders her bones able to absorb tremendous impact, as well as being unbreakable to all but the strongest of foes. Her claws have also been coated with a chemically altered variation of vibranium that emits intense vibratory energy on contact with metals and other similarly dense materials, allowing them to cut through nearly any substance. This vibranium coating also renders her mind extremely difficult to detect and manipulate telepathically.

While her physical powers and abilities are impressive, it is her mind and training that truly make X-23 a living weapon, capable of handling any modern weapon with exceptional skill, along with nearly every known weapon of the past, from bows to swords to lengths of wood. In her hands, literally anything she can lift can become a weapon of lethal effectiveness, and in the absence of any usable items her own body can be used to kill just as effectively without her claws as with them.

In order to complement and temper her lethal skills with the application of subtlety, she was also trained to use the arts of hacking, acting, and seduction in order to successfully infiltrate the lairs of her targets. She is skilled at playing on the emotions of her victims and has used her large eyes to garner sympathy with just as much success as she has her body to engender lust.

All these skills and abilities are utilized in conjunction in order to keep herself a step ahead of her targets until it's already too late, and then used with equal effectiveness to extract herself from any situation created after the deed is done. In order to allow her the best possible ability to carry out these tactics, she is given as much autonomy of action as the mission parameters allow, though any illusion of free will is exactly that, and her handlers will clamp down control without hesitation if they deem her autonomy too hazardous to the mission or her continued operations.

I am so glad you finally asked me that. *cracks knuckles with an evil grin* ;)

In all seriousness though, there are a few aspects of the character that are a bit unfair that I've been wanting to address for a while, but I would have felt weird doing it without you asking me to, since this is your fight.

Before I get started though, I should caution you against criticizing other people's spelling or grammar. You used the wrong version of faint in your distinctive features section. ;) Faint (the word you wanted) means small or difficult to see, while feint (the word you used) is a term for a false attack.

Now that that's out of the way, I think the new additions are all fine, but there could be some issues with your first-edition powers. Most notably the teleporting. If it can be done every post with no cooldown, then he can avoid any and every attack thrown at him and become completely untouchable. Unless there's some detrimental effect to using it (like a charge up time, a cooldown time, or something about the teleport process itself that makes him vulnerable either before or after), it's a skeleton key for escaping any and all otherwise inescapable situations, and doesn't require any actual skill to avoid attacks. The ability to turn into shadow mist has the same issue, though not quite to the extent that teleporting does.

The second issue is with his possessed form, which if used in this fight would put him way above the rest of us. It's a great ability for a higher tier fight, but would be very OP if used in this one. To be clear though, I'm not recommending you remove the ability, just that you avoid using it in this particular battle.

And the third is just a reminder that shadow powers should be weak to light-creating powers. They don't have to be totally useless against them, but a really bright attack should logically cause more damage to a shadow construct than a normal attack. I just didn't see anything in the CS about how/if light affects the shadow powers, so I thought it would be worth mentioning.

Generally, any edits made to abilities or equipment that increase a character's capability need to be approved before use, and the bombagranate's weren't part of the approved edits.

That said, this is ultimately Max's thread, so he'll have to make the call on whether that applies here or not.

Also: what is a bombagranite?

Edit: Nevermind. I went back to your CS and looked it up, though I don't remember it being part of the original equipment edit.

hey guys maybe if schrade started another one like with the same characters but in a different place like a parallel dimension we could have two fights. but hey its just an idea

I've been thinking about that actually. I feel kind of bad about dictating things in someone else's thread, even though Max said it was okay.

We should probably stick with the three days thing so we can keep this moving, which makes it Max's post.

The Elder Scrolls: Rising Storm

Oh it's only the Mage and his followers that will sympathize. The empire as a whole isn't going to be happy with his allegiances.

The Elder Scrolls: Rising Storm

gcold said Also, do you intend to keep the previous emperor or make a new one? It wouldn't be too likely for the old emperor to suddenly introduce reforms, at least, it would be easier to revamp the country with a new ruler. If you do decide to crown a new emperor, the last emperor, Gaius, will succumb to the Cyrodiilic Disconnect and die from the disease.

It was either that or have him start being manipulated behind the scenes by someone else in the empire, perhaps a powerful Mage or the leader of the Penitus Oculatus. Then after a bit have another figure rise to prominence, expose the plot, and replace the current emperor. It just doesn't feel right to kill off an emperor without some sort of intrigue.

Edit: Perhaps the Mage secretly sympathizes with the Akaviri, and so begins to subtly manipulate the emperor into taking a more friendly stance toward them. It could make for all kinds of excellent political intrigue RP.
