The man who entered was fit and stocky, or stockier than David at least, and wore the traditional garb of a Karate practitioner. Interesting. Immediately, his mind began running through tactics and strategies to deal with someone of that particular martial proclivity, but his body remained still until the other man had assumed his stance. "Name's David. Nice to meet you too, Dylan. " He would have shook his hand, but considering the circumstances he figured that little societal discipline could be done away with this time.

Moving forward, David tucked his chin and raised his hands to protect his face, leading with his left leg as he closed the distance. His opponent's stance was considerably lower than his own, and due to that also more tiring, so once he reached melee distance and his leading foot was next to Dylan's (on the inside side), he stopped and waited. The other man would either have to make a move first, or remain stationary for hours as his legs grew more and more tired and eventually gave out. That was the trouble with low stances. Sure, they're stable, but if your opponent decides to wait you out, you're screwed.


Racks of melee weapons line the walls, filled with implements ranging from simple staves to hand axes to multiple varieties of sword. Almost every conventional melee weapon is represented, allowing the fighters to pick their preference and utilize their specific weapons of choice.

David Smith stood bare-chested in the center of the room, stance relaxed and feet shoulder width apart as he waited for the arrival of his opponent. His hands hung loose at his sides, wrapped nearly to the elbow in order to protect him from the force of his own blows. His feet and shins were similarly protected, and the shorts he wore were loose and well-suited to the demands of combat. With his torso bare, a keen eye might be able to detect the hair-thin scars that criss-crossed his skin, and it was plainly evident that despite his slender frame and long limbs his taught, wiry musculature still possessed a formidable strength. His dark hair was cut short (very nearly shaved) in order to prevent an opponent from using it against him, and his bare skin had been oiled to reduce the likelihood of a successful grab. All that remained now was to
Does what it says on the tin. Spectators welcome.
Ramli looks good (sorry it took so long to get to that).

And I just sat down to write and realized that I don't know where to go to find Midas... Where would he be, and would Six be able to know that location?
Pyrokinesis is fine (depending on how hot/how much fire), it's just the auto-hit properties of having an aura that kills anyone within melee range that is OP.

It would also be a lot easier to properly review the character if a CS was posted.
Depleted uranium also superheats when it hits the target, which is what I assumed you meant when you said it melts through tank armor, Drall.

But getting back to the flame character, most bullets are made of lead with a copper jacket, not steel, and while lead has a significantly lower melting point than steel (621.5 degrees fahrenheit, which is cooler than your average campfire), copper is sitting pretty at almost 2,000 degrees fahrenheit, which is still too high for a completely passive ability. Even if he could passively melt bullets though, he'd still have to worry about the molten metal since melting an object wouldn't eliminate its momentum, and a supersonic glob of melted anything is still going to hurt. A lot.

Edit: Looks like QT beat me to the punch on my first point.

except u know the fact that even if it melts steel an iridium charged tank round would still punch a hole in him like it was nothing considering the bullet is coated in a radioactive fluid that corrodes through anything it touches really.


I don't remember radioactive corrosion being listed as a trait of those bullets...
That's 2,500 degrees fahrenheit. Anyone without superhuman resistance to heat is going to get burned/boiled alive before they even make it close enough to hit him with their sword, so whether or not the sword will do damage is a moot point. Even Arty, who DOES have a superhuman resistance to heat, would be hard-pressed to stay in melee range for more than a few posts without getting burned. And that's just staying in range, without any attempts to attack made by your character.

In a high-tier fight, that would be fine, but for the level of fighters involved here, having a character so hot they can passively melt steel when it gets close to them is a no-go.
Actually, LeeRoy has mud and storm magic, but that's not really going to help much with the tiny amount of wet available.
Teo did before I vaporized him, but other than that, no. And even if he was still around, all you'd have to do is take him out and the rest of us would be screwed. Any character in this kind of fight needs to be susceptible to something that the majority of characters have access to.
