Fixing the issues with his energy summons would really be just as simple as adding that the constructs have to originate from his body, and from there be sent as raw (visible) energy to coalesce at the target point, or formed into objects and launched. Putting a limit on the projectile speed and amount he can summon at once would also help immensely.

Apart from the issues that always seem to creep up though, I agree that he's an awesome character. I'd hate to lose the history he and Arthur have.

The Everlasting Arena: Character Deposit

Alright Blooper, I'll start with yours since it's the easiest and I'm too tired right now for extensive reading :P

First: I'm not comfortable approving an ability that lets a character move faster than the max for their stated tier, even temporarily. Until or unless LeeRoy decides an ability like that would be okay, I'm going to have to say no to the 400 mph blurring in tier 3.

Second: What exactly does extreme stealth do?

Third: Could you elaborate on the properties of the bo staff?

Fourth: The only physical ability of his that you mention is his speed. What about his strength? Durability? Agility and coordination? If his speed comes from the strength of his legs, can he also jump really high? What about his senses (aside from night vision)? Are they heightened like other felines?

Fifth (and this is just more of an observation): If his fur is only half an inch long, he wouldn't have anywhere to hide a medical kit. He could certainly still carry one, but his fur wouldn't be long enough to conceal it.

You know this all should have been gone over WAAAAY before now. im not the kind of guy to just be like yeah fuck it I make one in your body, but yeah he can summon dozens of spikes feet away from himself with no warning in the blink of an eye it states he can in the CS. that is really all he has though he cant take hits like other tier 3's.

LeeRoy's not omniscient. None of us are. Sometimes things get missed. The mace, for example, which is stated to be completely indestructible. LeeRoy very specifically stated that an indestructible weapon would be beyond tier 10, yet he clearly missed that Adrian has one (otherwise it would have been addressed).

I'm not trying to gain an advantage for Arty. His response to the chains will be the same whether they're a projectile or not, but there are some aspects of abilities that do need to be altered in order to make the character an actual tier 3. With regards to durability though, Adrian has already demonstrated a moderate amount of superhuman resistance to injury when he shrugged off a punch from a superhuman that hit him when he was moving upwards of 100 mph straight toward it. Taking a hit like that from a tier 5 is way above normal human durability, even with steel-level armor.

On another note, LeeRoy's asked me to review character sheets while he takes care of some urgent RL stuff.

Lalliman, I'd very much appreciate it if you'd just keep doing what you're doing, as you tend to bring up a lot of really good points that I miss. :) If you could also weigh in on the insta-chain issue that would be great, that way we can hopefully mitigate charges of new-found authority abuse. ;)

I know they're rising from the ground, but there was no indication of any kind of attack prior to "Wham! Gotcha!" (apart from his general Zod moment, which isn't a part of the attack). From what I gathered in the previous discussion, an attack that has no transmission time or sensory indicator isn't really allowed, especially when there are no requirements that must be met in order to initiate said attack. Put another way, if Adrian can summon chains dozens of feet away from himself in the blink of an eye with no warning or projectile, what's to stop him from doing it with spikes? Or from spawning the spikes already inside his opponent?

With Arthur, the limitations I put on his electrical constructs are two-fold. First, he can't generate more than one cubic meter's worth of volume, and secondly, all his constructs have to originate from his body. The second restriction eliminates the possibility of the above scenario being used to insta-kill an opponent (since without that restriction, he would technically be capable of doing that).

Edit: It was a charged attack, but that's not the issue I'm trying to address. The fact that it was charged is perfectly fine. It's the manner in which it was carried out that is iffy.

The Everlasting Arena: Main Thread

Wasn't there a whole big thing about how attacks that have no travel time or indication of activation are overpowered? Sure, there's the dispersing streams, but that's not really an indication of an attack, just an indication of a release of power.

If, on the other hand, the streams were instead launched toward Arthur, where they burrowed into the stone then re-appeared as the chains, I'd imagine the whole thing would be a lot less questionable. Apart from having an unspecified holding strength. That should still be clarified and approved by LeeRoy.

Edit: Then again, if the chains are similar to steel like the armor is then the holding strength can be extrapolated from that I suppose, but that isn't confirmed either.

A huff escaped Arty's lips and he let the sword vanish, then nodded toward the extended hand. "That's a bad idea, shaking hands with me." He walked closer, passing the knife and stopping just out of arms reach. "And what do you mean we? I don't recall you killing anyone here." A half smile that mirrored the smirk on alexander's face appeared. "The name's Arthur. You look like a man out of place, what with all that high tech armor and those turrets and that gun. Those aren't the kind of things you'd normally find on a world like this." Having been cast from his own world, and on a journey through countless others in his attempts to find a way back, Arty had a vested interest in finding out as much about this man and where he'd come from as he could. "How'd you get here, exactly?"

Right, so the werewolf was prepping another fire attack, the demon prince was floating ominously in the air above the plateau, and the dragoness was conjuring a flaming sword and charging directly toward him. In Arthur's mind, it was easy to prioritize these various actions, and the list was currently topped by the flaming sword rushing at his chest. He brought his own lightning blade across to catch the flames of the girl, if his own elemental energy could solidify, then after all, why not hers too? It was due to this reasoning that his eyes widened in surprised then his jaw clenched in pain as the flaming blade simply passed through his own and burned a swath across his chest, igniting his vest and shirt and leaving angry red burns along the skin in its wake. The heat suffused the dermis that it touched, even going so far as to affect the muscle beneath, but the damage it caused would only be superficial in the long run, thanks in large part to the brevity of the contact.

In retaliation, and to gain distance, he swept his own blade back across the abdomen of his opponent, moving from left to right as he backpedaled, jumping over the now seated primitive behind him. Even in the midst of the surprise and sudden pain caused by her attack, he at least managed to maintain that much presence of mind. When he landed, he gripped the right shoulder of his shirt with his left hand and tore the inflamed fabric free of his body, tossing it to the side where it fell to the snow and smoldered. Now shirtless, he was still as unaffected by the cold as he had been before. "Clever trick, young dragoness. Do not expect it to work a second time." He now stood with both hands on his sword, with the blade held out toward his nearest opponent and angled slightly upwards.

You'll have to be the one to propose any kind of deal. Arty hasn't matured to the tactical thinking stage of development yet, so he's going to be pretty black or white at this point.

"Oh, your bullets wouldn't do much I'm afraid, and I've seen how fast you are." He shrugged. "I'm not particularly worried about my chances." He began to walk closer, sword still in hand. "I think it's fairly obvious that whoever concocted this little shindig isn't gonna show up, so I figure we can either part ways now, or you part ways with your head." He raised the sword and pointed it at the other man. "What's it gonna be?"
