I thought I'd made the distinction clear considering all the stuff I'd pointed out, as for the arm thing the cloth hid pretty much all the damage.

That is fair. I will attempt to do as you suggest in the future. As for the yellow jacket and man in the mask (Hugo specifically) they're basically captains. They've got an extra point to spend and are meant to be taken on by at least two player or a player with npc support in terms of combat purposes. If tiny wanted to attack hugo they probably could have won if attacking together unless they MASSIVELY fucked up. As for the lightning thing it literally fried her arm. she wasn't reacting to it because she could no longer feel it XD

Also, another small note. Playing a terrorist freedom fighter is a noble notion, but if you start punching the state especially if there are many factions of the state that particularly like the state as it is; then they have much bigger and heavier fists than you do. The general reason that violent revolutions don't work is that, unless you have a MASSIVE amount of support, the state can simply deploy military forces and wipe you out. In this particular instance, having a radical group such as you own is BEGGING to be kicked in the dick by any member of the state (including the nobles) that have the resources to beat you to death with their sacks of money.
And as a general rule of thumb; if someone has enough money that they can beat you to death with sacks of it, then it's probably not smart to fight them.
That being said, playing a terrorist character is fine so long as you understand that, unless your character is planning to die or get captured the planning will like have to either be handled by an npc, or your character will have had to plan, bribe, and manipulate things into going right for YEARS.

Sorry, swapped seth and shaun for whatever reason. I'll edit the post at some point for archiving purposes.

That is fair, And I'll be honest these minions are on the side of overly optimized for combat. On top of that, while pulling out two commanders made sense for plot reasons, in terms of power scale it might not have been a good idea. My intention was to get everyone together and away from the man attempting to murder-rape them so that they could be trained and raised into the beautiful swans of bullshit op they were meant to be. It probably doesn't help that the logical conclusion of "terrorist has shot innocent man and attempted to attack me, therefore i will capture them" is also handled in a way that removes agency considering that, again, these characters are rather potent.
As a small explaination of how the power system works; many skill will give you a wide array to pick from, however none of them will be very potent. The particular man in mask mergoux was dealing with only had two skills and two spells. He's basically just a slightly topper kek than the average mook. The issue of power that's arrisen with this system is that those two skills are focused to hell. they're kind of meant to be the sledgehammer solution lady vespid's problems. However if it had been the yellow jacket that had had a fight picked with her it would be on a much more even playing field. her single world spell requires two targets or similar mass for a quantum link so, as long as there is one assailent she can't really use it.
Finally; my word is not law. If you feel like there is something your character could do, reply with "as the man in the mask did "X" my character actually did "Y" thus changing the course of events. I recognize that I have a very strange method of rping combat sequences, and that's entirely because I'm very used to writing for spectacle more so than short, clipped sequences.

As a side note, you're also not exactly interacting with the rest of the group. If you do feel that this is too fast for you then this would actually be the optimal time to pull out as you have, frankly speaking, done nothing of importance.
The lich was letter bee showing off the big bad supposedly, but it didn't really have a reason to be there so I just kinda... introduced him to the wall

There was a slave market, overlod thraka's character shot the auctioneer in the throat while tominas' character was brought out. A lady in a wasp mask (I'll be calling her yellow jacket) stepped forwards, the two talked a bit. rex's character showed up, started talking shit, is currently concussed with yellow jacket's hand around his throat. Two men in masks massacerred the anti-slavery terrorists in the crowd in the most gruesome ways you can imagine being done with their bare hands, and Overlord Thraka's characts got punched in the chest and detained. Tiny's character is there but hasn't done much. Basically ALL THE SHIT is going down now.

sorry if these characters seem a bit op despite being "basic grunts". They're kinda... made for the kinda stuff that's happening right now.

"Ah yes, the ever late federick. As much of an annoyance as you are, I'm afraid I will have to request your aid in this matter. It would appear that we are dealing with a terrorist attack." The woman states, her mask remaining immobile the entire time with no sign of her jaw moving that could be perceived. Yet she did not turn away from the rather brave ex-noble, suggesting her bloodied outburst had likely not had the desired effect of making the "lady vespid" rethink her plans. Of course as yellow jackets went, their nature was to act in lady vespid's stead, allowing them the sense that one could never tell which one was which when paired with the unexplainable transference of information without courier between them. As for the impertenant lad that called out to her, she simply extends a hand towards him.
There was a sudden shift in the air before he found his neck firmly gripped in her hand while the lich found himself firmly planted in a nearby wall along the same line. It was a fairly simple spell and seemed to require a connection between two things, in this case two people. Frederick Edelweiss likely recognized it as a spell from the world class and generally revolved around rather meticulous gravity manipulation mixed with linking two things and simply pulling on one of them. In theory it was rather complicated, but in action it was as simple as giving something a tug. "Frederick, I shall leave you to deal with the punishment of these wastes of space calling thesmelves magicians. As for this one, that slave over there, and the two Hugo is dealing with, we shall be taking them." She states flatly, the sudden shift having likely concussed Seth but left him otherwise unharmed, albeit in the grasp of a strange woman that had been, up until this point, completely ignoring him. In fact she was still ignoring him and the shocks his electricity was sending up her arm.

"Young lady, I'm afraid I have warned you and thus will have to be somewhat rough." The man in the mask states shortly before there's a rather loud "pop" and he blurrs. Mergoux was rather intimately introduced to the pain of an open-palmed strike to the chest right over the diaphragm. There was a burning sensation and a sudden cough that knocked out all the air in her lungs before a few seconds that seemed to drag on for eternity where the man held her up be her arm with the other wrapped around her side while she found herself incapable of breathing in. Once those few seconds passed and air flooded her once more she was met with the leather-y musk of the eight foot tall masked man that had pressed her against his chest. Where there should be chain she felt hard plates that smelled of metal rather than leather, a pointless nature to her sword. In addition to this he held her gingerly and after a deft wrist motion in her state of vulnerability left her wrists bound. He did the same to her ankles and picked her up over his shoulder so as to avoid damaging his mask should she struggle. "Young man, jokes aside, it would appear that there is a terrorist attack occuring within the plaza just after my compatriots and I finished dispatching. She would be the one that began the first attack and there is a reward if you would assist us in dealing with the second" The man in the mask states flatly, smoothly transitioning into the next conversation with the comfort that suggested this sort of action were mundane to him.
