Whip Girl (Ingrid 2.0)

Artificial muscle whips: no taper, leafblade weight on the end, four muscles giving eight flex directions. Rough sleeve covering the whips gives protection from electrical current and a high friction contact surface. Attached to a pulley that can adjust the length.

Manifesting two rows of blades along the whips, Takeda style. Slightly angled, no overlap but tightly spaced nevertheless.

Great physical strength, high weight, good protection, average speed.

Dual sickles that can be attached to the end of the whips, connected by the leafblade weight.

Maybe a dagger too?

Muscle fiber traps: manifest as disics with muscle fibers attached to the outer perimeter, wound around in a whirpool shape, each strand spiraling towards the center. Upon activation they rise upwards, spin and flay outwards, splaying out in an inverted whirlpool, creating the second position; activating from second position will pull the towards the center, back into first position.

A lid can be summoned over the fibers in first position, which will toss it directly upwards. Activation can be upon command or upon contact.

A stabilizing system holds it in place when it activates, made of multiple rings. Upon activation magic particles are manifested inside the ring and accelerated to spin inside; any displacement will cause them to collide with the walls and exert counterforce. The multiple rings ensure that counterforce can be exerted in any direction of 3d space.

The base form is a small disc, containing runes for building the rest of the trap, and stabilizing rings wrapped around the disc. It can be placed and then commanded to fully manifest.

As of now, i am more inclined to attribute this to miscommunication and simply poor luck. Aint enough hard evidence to make the opposite conclusion yet.

RPGuild is not an alliance of some sort with a single core philosophy or particularly strong sense unity - we're just a melting pot full of different people with different outlooks, who all just happen to enjoy RP fighting and have settled down on the Guild at some point.

So yeah, dig deep enough and you'll probably find what you're looking for. Or maybe something you never knew you liked and needed.

Regardless, isolationism is only going to further deteriorate the RP fighting community as a whole. If we want new blood and a bigger, better, more exciting future for the craft, we gotta stick together. Nobody's going to interested in a form of roleplay that only remains living within a handful of self-containted cliques composed of two and a half people each; nor is such an existance going to be fun for the participants themselves.

Sorry, but that diagram was nearly the death of me.

Too hasty of a judgement, too soon of a leave. You could've kept digging untill you hit gold; but suit yourselves.

Come back when the drama's grown dead cold then, and if nobody else, i'll cook up yer bois a hot hell in a casket.

Regarding the latter, i think a multiple lives scenario, like in your typical arena fps game, could make for an interesting high tier combat system. You could learn the actual strategies the opponent is using, as well as their sneak attack setups, forcing both players to get creative with how they employ those.

It would also be simply fun to explode someone into a fountain of gore multiple times over, as opposed to just once.

Topic: hidden character sheet fights for paragraph/forum based rp combat.

Opinion: it would be an utter faliure, due to promotion over-caution, stalling and passive play in a format that is already ludicrously slow, while also shifting the scales away from skill and towards luck as the deciding factor, as both players essentially have a much less concrete foundation for their strategies and general approach to the fight.

Take that shit to chatrooms, where you can keep churning out posts about running away from your opponent and ducking into cover because oh god what if they have a gun or can shoot lightning and i don't know within 15 minute intervals untill one of the sides just gives up and throws themself into an unavoidable instakill.

New Beginnings: Round 1 - Rindheart and Pumpkin

Pumpkin is moving at an approximate 100 meters per second. Unless Rindheart can earthbend at similar or faster speeds, the rock he's smashing with simply won't be able to make it there in time.

There's also to consider that Pumpkin is going at such breakneck speeds that he may as well land before Rindheart can even properly formulate and start excuting his plan. Though, that may not be true, as Pumpkin seems to be using the fie exhaust to slow himself down, which will still alter his trajectory and complicate calculations nevertheless.

On that note, landing 16 meters away after just missing a jump kick at 1/3 sound speed seems dubious to me as well. Depends on how much Pumpkin can slow himself down midair.

But yeah, those are just my thoughts; not an official judge ruling.
