I think watching fight scenes can help in general terms with writing combat, since it can give you an idea of flow and choreography.
2 yrs ago
At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.
2 yrs ago
I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

Cocking her head to one side as she listened to the responses, Valika took stock of her fellow mercs as they spoke. A couple seemed pretty new, some seemed pretty professional, but all of them at least seemed like they had some idea what they were doing.
And as far as she was concerned, that's all they needed. If they did their job, it was easier for her to do her job!
And today, that job was kicking some Ultima MA ass.
"Momo and I are best suited for dismantling their defenses. That is, tearing apart their MA squads," she began, "So that's where we're gonna be. Don't worry, I'll rip 'em apart nice and quick without so much as a scratch on Momo's paintjob!"
Maybe she was boasting a little too much.
But on the other hand, she was nothing if not confident.
"I'm sending along my recommendations for squad composition," chirped VALKYRIE's voice over communications, "But it looks like you have things all figured out!"
A blip on MORDRED's console indicated that Valika had received the recommendation list, and she took a quick look at it.
Indeed, VALKYRIE's squad recommendations were more or less along the lines of what they'd already figured out. Banshee, Watcher, and Fallen Angel on the anti-communications team, and Rabbit, Snow, R-18, and herself on demolition duty. It suited her perfectly, after all.
"Drop zone in range. Prepare for launch."
The voice that came over communications was that of the pilot's, rather than VALKYRIE.
"Alright, Redknight is all green and good to go!" declared Valika, grinning as she sat back in her seat, hands at her controls. She was all prepped for release.
Like many of the moons surrounding inhabited planets, Himinbjorg had been terraformed just like a colony would have been. There'd been a variety of different facilities on it prior to the war, but most of them had been destroyed long ago.
Now, they were skeletal remains, overgrown by the foliage that had long ago been introduced to the planet.
Such was the case of the landing zone, forests and grassland encroaching on a wrecked installation of some description. Valika hadn't the faintest idea what it was originally for, but it was so demolished it was unlikely that Ultima Universal had been using it for anything. From what she understood about the situation, their arrival time combined with the cover afforded by the damaged old ruins and the forest would help them get a bit of a jump on their targets.
"Launch!"
"Redknight, launching!"
The moment that she heard the voice over the intercom, she was off. The sky whipped past her as MORDRED's internal systems hummed around her, and the moon steadily rushed closer and closer. There was no need to activate her AUG's thrusters, not when her shock absorbers would take care of most of the impact. She wanted to save the noise for their targets, after all.
Still, the rock of impact when she slammed into Himinbjorg's surface was a lot to take in, for the moment.
It was a clearing surrounded by tall evergreen trees, near an old access road that was a little more open. She could definitely make out some ruins, as she scanned her environment with her machine's visual receptors.
They'd have a few moments to get their bearings and split up, but the faster they reached the facility, the better.

@supertinyking: Oh, sorry, since you didn't note character names and I didn't know them off the top of my head I didn't know. ^^;
In that case, a really quick look over each makes me a little concerned about Mithrix since he's described as having godlike powers, but then again godlike powers is a bit hard to quantify across settings.
Incidentally, I'll probably have my own character up soon. It took a little bit to decide.

For several moments, as her eyes fell upon the stuffed frog-knight, Velvetica found herself unable to articulate any words.
Cute.
It was cute. It was really cute. Honestly, she'd managed to hold back her admiration for the doll back in the crypt, but now that there wasn't anything else to occupy her attention...
For a few moments she didn't actually manage to say anything at all.
It wasn't as if anyone who had never been to her room would know this, and simply intruding on the Steel Princess's private quarters was practically unfathomable.
But if anyone had gone in there, they would discover her collection.
The variety of stuffed toys she possessed.
Her brother was grinning.
No matter how she admired him, her annoyance at how amused she was exceeded it.
"... A-ahem, I... I certainly admire the craftsmanship," Velvetica began, trying to navigate the situation as best she could, "Plus, it's ad-aesthetically interesting."
To reveal the leader of the Hraeslag Lions so adored cute things would... what would people think, in the heat of battle?! She simply couldn't!
But at the same time, she couldn't ignore the cute look of the armored frog.
"I shall gladly accept this gift."
Her brother stepped forward, nodding his head and still smiling.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Lirrah," he began, "I'm Velvetica's elder brother, Elroy. I think you may have picked just the kind of gift my little sister finds aesthetically interesting."
Admiration didn't stop Velvetica from shooting him a brief glare as she moved to accept the frog.
@Octo
Ah, she hadn't even had time to put it away...
Later that day, once she had returned to her office, the frog knight was still seated on Velvetica's desk when Kayliss emerged from the corner.
Certainly, she understood the assassin's desire to keep things under wraps when it came to matters such as this, but at the same time she hoped this would never occur with her own personal quarters.
So, Sir István appeared to suspect that something had happened to the Crownsblades? That was difficult, given that the organization was all but destroyed.
"Hmmm... I see," she began, crossing her arms as she leaned back in her seat.
"To begin with, I would prefer if you didn't do anything that could lead to his death," she continued after a moment. To be honest, she would have hoped that those in her employ would also trust her judgement in terms of who she accepted into her service, but that was unfortunately something she simply couldn't count on. Especially given that someone had so clearly desired those who had served as the Crown's assassin's dead.
"As for the nature of your employment," she continued after a moment, "I don't particularly like the idea of lying about my own dealings with the crown. That is not the behavior of a champion of Velt and its people. Rather, I believe simply omitting some of the details if the best course of action."
It was the first possibility that came to mind, at least.
@Psyker Landshark
It was around that moment that the door opened once again.
The figure who stepped through it was a dark-haired woman who appeared to be in her early twenties, her blue eyes possessing an odd luminscence and her pale skin almost ethereal. Her slight features were not out of the realm of humanity, but the slight point to her ears implied ancestry outside of it. She wore red and gold robes over a frilled dress, and currently wore an irritable frown on her face.
It was likely that both of those present would recognize her as the mage employed by the Hraeslag family, Liletta Venn.
In her arms was the doll, Anisette, who had a slight scowl on her face.
"The report did say she could speak, didn't it?" began Liletta, exasperated, "Because she won't answer a single question I ask her. You were the one who got her name, do you-"
She paused on sight of smouldering paper, and the other sheets.
"What have you been doing in here?"

Update and the discord server coming tomorrow, as well as a proper look at the remaining bios.
@supertinyking: This isn't an RP for OCs, it's for canon characters from existing media.
Slowly, the little girl lowered her bat.
"That... does sound like dad..." she trailed off for a moment. Though she wasn't poised to strike any longer, she was still gripping the baseball bat rather tightly. Shuffling her feet, she averted her eyes and took a deep breath.
"When everyone started rushing out, we got split up, so... so I hid back here and got a bat! I know it can't kill a demon, but if I took it by surprise and hit it hard enough I thought I could get away!"
She seemed proud of her own logic. Perhaps, against a Beast-class demon, it might have even worked.
She hesitated for a few moments, and when she next spoke her voice was quieter.
"Nobody's been hurt, right...?"
It seemed as if she hadn't seen whatever caused the bloody mess outside the shop, given the question.
It was at that moment that Shiro's voice reached all of them once more.
"I have pinpointed a Monster-class demonic signature, but it is strange. It should be at your location, do you see anything?"
Of course, the only unfamiliar figure among them was the little girl.
Perhaps someone looking closely would see something shift in the back of her tank-top...

@Remuri: You need to use a character with a canon personality and identity. What you suggested isn't going to work.
"Wait, so his dumb ass is a victim in all of this, too?"
She couldn't help it. That news almost immediately lightened her mood, her lips spreading to expose her sharp teeth in a wide grin. For the moment, her animosity towards the church agents took a back seat, as she couldn't help but restrain her laughter.
"Not just hiring a demon, but helping one out, huh? That must be news to you!" she declared, wiping at tear from her eye and clutching at her stomach, "Ah, ah, alright. Let's do this. Even if we have to kill him to do it."
It was only to be expected that Eliztrazia didn't care very much about the demon noble or the rest of his family.
But she did care about how hilarious the situation was. A demon picked up by a demon-slaying organization, only for their first mission to turn out to be helping a demon?
Well, it wasn't like there weren't other reasons this was funny, too, but for now that was chief in her mind.
Plus she still wanted to tear the guts out of the one possessing the demon's wife.
She tore down the hall and the stairs with little heed for the demon maids ahead. After all, why should she care? They were trash, weren't they?
The nearest of the monstrous maids she leaped onto to tackle it to the ground, slamming its body down beneath her before it could. Equally swiftly, Elizstrazia sunk her razor teeth into its neck and pulled sharply, ripping open its throat and feeling the heat of its blood spurting across her face. The taste on her tongue wasn't particularly pleasant in her opinion, so she swiftly spat it out, rising in the very same motion she brought her clawed foot down to crush its skull into the tiles.
The warmth spraying across her leg and thigh meant that she'd killed it nice and fast.
"Out of the way, trash!"
The gaping maw of the next one never reached her, as she brought her clawed hand slicing through the air and seized its skull in the same motion, tearing its had from its neck and tossing it across the room.

@DarkRecon: Going to be honest, I'd prefer if people stuck to one character for this RP.
On another note, the IC is up! I'll also be making a discord server for the RP for smoother communication.
