Pride Incarnate [Griffintaur V.S. yoshua171] Rhay's Champion

First Turn goes to Griffontaur.

1v1, Fantasyesque, Ranked, Powered Tier

@Griffintaur Alright, sorry I missed those haha. I'll take a look to make sure I catch anything I missed the first time. Justread through everything except Backstory, which I will read momentarily.

So, in lieu of his overwhelming physical prowess, adaptability, and minor magics--and because in the tournament I used Raelis in his power ended up scaled up in all but the literal sense--I am going to ask for something of a boost for Raelis provided that you think it fair. I wish only for this to even the playing field somewhat.

I have added a hider above Raelis' CS that I have copy-pasta'd below for ease of access in the present moment. Before you read it I'd like to notify you of something that might be interesting to you in regards to the mechanics of Raelis' Devene magic.

Devene magic is barely magical. Rather, what Devene magic allows is for the wielder to manipulate heat/light, rather than for them to actually create it. As a result all heat and light energy are entirely natural and can either be sourced back to their surroundings or from the star/deity that the Asarae worship: Rhay.

I'd think that as a result of this, that Tharraleos would not have to worry about Malefeor's Sorcery since Devene energy is not used to actually deal damage--since it really just grants Raelis or other wielders the capacity to manipulate, channel, and draw forth from Rhay natural heat/light.

For Context regarding the below:

Raelis at base strength/ability can generate up to a maximum of 200 degrees per post (Blade of Rhay generates 80 degrees. Armor can generate 100 degrees. His body can generate 20 degrees in an aura surrounding him).

Disclaimer

For opponents of higher power (High Powered Tier), Raelis' limits are partially surpassed. This is achieved via true empowerment from the very source of his race's magic: Their star/deity Rhay. As such, all of the abilities/amplified equipment and traits below can be considered the result of Rhay bestowing on its Champion the title of "Rhay's Chosen." This title turns the body of the empowered into Rhay's Chosen Vessel, essentially imbuing them with the power of an Avatar.

Acting as a sort of limit break for Raelis' various limitations, becoming Rhay's Chosen Vessel allows him full access to the nanites in his armor. This gifts him with the ability not only to gain precise control and awareness of these nanites, but also gives him access to their systems, turning them into proper sensory apparatus as well as unlocking their ability to gather materials, build things and replicate themselves from surrounding materials. Additionally the heat limitations are upended entirely, making his armor and his body effectively immune to Devene energy's negative effects meaning that not only can he withstand any temperature--no matter how high or low--but that it is effectively impossible to blind him in either total darkness or in situations where light is overabundant. Beyond this he gains greater control of his wing armor, the enchantment becoming threefold as it allows him to gather and pressurize wind, control it, and to manipulate the wing armor even when it is not directly attached to his body so long as Devene energy is in contact with the armor.

The various enchantments, durability, malleability, and regenerative properties of his armor are amplified allowing it to reform itself more easily, to fully resist any temperature as previously mentioned as well as it being able to deform to deal with greater force, and to remain solid to stop puncturing/piercing attacks more easily. Its durability/malleability are essentially doubled or tripled depending on the input of Devene energy. Last among his equipment, the Blade of Rhay becomes far more powerful, capable of generating focused beams of light and amplifying the speed at which heat energy builds within or around it by two to four times depending on the power of his opponent(s), but only to the extent of making the odds equal.

Beyond this Raelis' own ability to generate Devene energy is increased allowing him to effectively amplify, generate, and control heat energy with a higher proficiency than normal. As a result of this he can increase the heat of multiple sources--up to ten--at once with double or triple his normal capacity depending on the power of his opponent.

When empowered he gains the ability to control his biology with a finer degree of control due to his exceptional control of Devene energy as it is channeled through his body via Rhay. The sheer heat of the Devene light also tempers and alters his wings, plumage, and hide essentially turning his skin/plumage into the equivalent of four inch thick leather armor.

It should be noted that the above acts OOCly, meaning that Raelis does not know the exact power of his opponent, just that they are stronger than his normal state. These modifiers will be applied before a fight begins and cannot be modified once combat is initiated unless otherwise negotiations/specifications are made beforehand. I will always ask permission of my fellow combatants and/or judge to use the ability so as to make sure that such is fair.

Most likely all above traits in the Disclaimer would be applied, but any amplification effects would be doubled, rather than tripled or quadrupled, except for perhaps the Blade of Rhay, which I'd ask have its capabilities tripled--but that depends on you. If you'd rather it just be doubled like the other stuff, then that's fine.

Correction to the above. It seems like he has eight limbs (you keep saying Octopedal), meaning that his leonine body has the back two lion/avian legs/feet and the front two lion legs, whereas his "humanoid" centaur portion has wings and the lion limbs? Or are the wings on the back of his leonine body rather than on the centaur portion?

When he stands on his backmost legs to be bipedal, how tall is he?

@Griffintaur alrighty :)

Yes I'm seeing the various capabilities. Just finished reading the Physical Appearance. Damn good job there, it's described like a biologist wrote it hehe, well done. I don't know some of the terms, but I more or less followed (occasionally using the wonders of google to supplement my existing knowledge). Tharr's appearance as I understand it is as follows:

Back legs are much like a lions, but with the talons/feet of a bird (three digits in the front, one in the back, foot partially upraised with the toes on the ground rather than the whole foot most times), front legs and feet of a lion with a dew claw. Where the head of a lion/bird/griffon would be is instead the beginning of a humanoid torso that goes upwards to a head and arms. The arms are fully outfitted for flight with feathers that can be manipulated with incredibly dexterity so as to allow the feathers to act as precision digits like a hand if necessary. The face is a combination of a lion's, a bird's and a human's (with heavy focus on the first two) with feathers going backwards from the sides of the eyes, which are capable of curving to the side and then at a near 90 degrees upwards like horns (which can be used as such due to their density and hardness I imagine). The face has a beak rather than a snout or flat mouth like a human, the beak is capable of splitting into four sections, like mandibles, rather than just being the two sections like a bird or most non-insectoid/arachnoid animals. The beak has retractable teeth/fangs and there are gills inside the mouth portion of the beak as well, which can be opened and closed as necessary to provide air/oxygen etc even when underwater. Lastly the entire body is covered with a mixture of thick fur and dense feathers, which together provide armor equivalent to iron/steel or a slightly more dense/durable material. All together this Tharr pretty damned heavy, but also packed with a veritable ton of muscle meaning he's gonna have a lot of power behind practically any movement he makes.

Coloration is mostly yellow/tan, but does include black feather, red and red in some places as I understand it.

I'm wondering several things, one of which is how much does he weigh exactly? How tall is he in part (at the shoulder of his leonine/griffon body where humanoid torso meets the back of his main body) and in total (top of the head of the humanoid torso). How wide is he from one side of his leonine body to the other? what is his total length from the chest of front of his Leonine body to the end of his tail? Can he angle his humanoid body forwards to increase that length/his reach at all? What is his wingspan from the longest feather to feather (fully extended)? How long are the arm that carry his wings when the feathers are furled or they're being used as hands/digits rather than for flight?

That's all for now. Reading the abilities now.

Alrighty! Two people took interest, well two people shall get fights then! I need to get more active in the arena anyways. I'll make threads for each of you in due time, but I want to go over some fight rules/details and get a judge just in case even though I doubt we'll need one :)

@ChickenTeriyaki Thank you, I try ^_^

If you don't mind, can I see who you plan to use against Mairyell (Mai for short)? Additionally, do you mind if we have a posting timer (something like a post every week sound reasonable?) just so that the fight doesn't drag on forever resulting in us maybe losing interest? We can always put in notice if we have some stuff coming up if we need more time. It won't be strictly enforced, but I imagine it'll help things go smoothly.

Beyond that, do you want me to make an battlefield (I've been told I'm pretty good at it), or would you prefer to pick an existing one? If I am to make one, I'll be sure to be fair about it and not to have it impede either of us unequally. Meaning that if it has any special traits that might act as complications, they will act as complications to BOTH characters rather than favoring one or the other.

@Griffintaur I am currently reading your character sheet to see if I agree on the match-up, but I likely will agree because I've only really used Raelis once and it was against someone who could move and react at times roughly equivalent to the speed of sound (not to mention they had a dangerous nanite swarm and swords that could nullify magic. Oh and it was in a cavern...so Raelis' wings were nigh useless) so he was barely able to follow (having highly advanced/evolved avian perception used for flying or nose diving at tremendous speed is useful).

Accepted.

@Demonic Angel

Three things.

1.) Healing Water: I'm not entirely clear on what this is actually capable of healing. Does it just heal skin and soft tissues (so it can't heal muscle, bone, cartilage, nerves, or organs)? Additionally, you didn't really specify what the "water" aspect of this spell is. Also, is it not being able to heal the above because the spell only has a certain capacity for healing, or is it because Erin just isn't very good at any of her spells yet? If it's the latter then I need you to specify the upper limit of its healing potential.

My suggestion: Say the spell has the potential to heal anything EXCEPT for bone, nerves, deep muscle damage, and organs (meaning it can heal light muscular wounds, skin, and cartilage). The reasoning being that the spell uses water as a medium through which to heal and you don't want water getting super deep into someone's body and causes complications.

2.) Waterfall: How does the water protect the target if it is just a drizzle? Is the water sort of like an enchantment that--while it's on the target--simulates armor or did you just not describe it properly and you meant that the water is pouring down around them so fast that it can slow down, stop, or deflect a few attacks for a brief time?

My Suggestion: Make it the former, meaning it's a sort of "enchantment-like" spell that applies simulated armor on the target so long as the water remains on them (if the water is evaporated or hit off then the spell weakens and eventually fails).

3.) Ifrit's Heart: I need a maximum radius.

My Suggestion: 2 meter radius (6 foot radius).

I want to fight someone in a ranked battle, in about the middle of the Powered Tier. Below are the characters I'm willing to use, though technically anything that is not WIP in the thread is open (though many of the characters that I'm not linking happen to be Naruto or Bleachverse. Those Naruto/Bleachverse characters I prefer would fight individuals within their fandom just for ease).

Khuseeya: Mid Powered Warrior with Obsidian magic.
Zephyri: Mid Powered Mage. Creates constructs and has three forms. Power can scale somewhat (limiting her to one of her forms).
Kaelia Katela: Low Powered Warrior with minor physical enhancement, enchanted gear, and Silver manipulation magic.
Raelis Vaerkturian: Mid-High Powered Warrior with heat/light manipulation/generation magic. Minor enchantments on armor. Physically devastating. Magic takes time to become strong, but then becomes deadly as hell.
Timore Scarborough: Low Powered squishy mage. Enchanted items and weird construct/emotion-based magic.
Casana, G. Lecor: Mid-High Powered battlemage. Magic is used to enhance physical body, nullify other magic/do slight damage(must produce an equivalent amount of magical energy to nullify a spell/magical effect), and to alter the size and density of objects (either in part or en full). Extremely fast(disappears when moving at top speed); versatile weapon due to size altering magic.
Dornae Namari: Low-Mid Powered battleMAGE. Magic is a modified form of Enchantment/spellcasting. Can cast almost any sort of spell or enchant objects in any variety of ways so long as they follow the rules of the system in his CS. Generally requires prep time to become powerful. Is not great in close-range combat, but isn't terrible. More of a mage than a warrior.
Ananze: Low-Mid Powered non-human creature. Predator/Animalistic.
Vasarius Aetearan: Low-Mid Powered warrior/mage hybrid. uses physical enhancement magic and a little something on the side. Close range combatant.
Mairyell Kasio: Low-Mid Powered battlemage vampire. Enhanced senses and physical abilities. Blood manipulation magic. Minor healing/absorption magic. Very hard to kill(regen factor).
Dranai Llamant: Low-Mid Powered illusion mage. Has other minor magics, but is primarily an illusionist.
Kirameku: Low Powered warrior with weapon-altering magic.

Aaaand that's all folks!

Class	Hunter	Contract
F	N/A.	A rating only given to contracts, the 'F' designation is typically used to describe a job of minimal difficulty. Generally, contracts of this nature are exceptionally minor, including investigations of minor disturbances, or body guard duty that has the lowest chance of anything happening. Practically all F class jobs do not offer pay, and those that do offer minimal pay.
E	The lowest rating that can be assigned to a Hunter, this designation is given to those with essentially no exceptional skills or abilities. Individuals of this rating typically posses very weak, or no magic at all, with the latter being more common. Additionally, these individuals typically have no martial experience or significant skill in the use of firearms. The lowest common denominator, Hunters of this rating are not common in the least and typically include individuals of average human physicality, possessing no magic, and negligible skills of any kind.	Contracts of this rating tend to be minor low impact, low threat reconnaisance—such as scouting out a non-threatening area for a future operation. Occasionally paranoid people with far too much money will hire a hunter as a bodyguard. Such a contract—provided their paranoia is unlikely to be justified—would be a good example of your typical contract of this rating. Pay for these jobs is typically below $100.
D	Hunters of this designation, while typically unknown, have a measure of experience and expertise—most likely in one rather limited field. These individuals are often physically fit and/or somewhat skilled with magic. It is not uncommon to see individuals with some small measure of experience with firearms. However, it is never all of the above.	Minor Contracts that involve a small amount of expertise, typically only in one area. These contracts, if they involve any danger, are typically very easily handled even by hunters of this same designation. Possible contracts include scoping out an area with a low threat level, such as a ghetto or slum; a stake out; or dealing with a very minor creature of licentia barely capable of defending itself or equivalent to a moderately sized wild animal such as a crocodile or cougar. Most contracts of this rating stay within a $100-250 range when it comes to pay.
C	The average class rating of most Hunters in IHO and the average rating of most new entrants, this designation typically describes individuals with at least enough combat experience to hold their own against a novice mage, average martial artist, or in a gunfight involving less than 4 people. These Hunters typically either have minor magics, considerable weapons technology, or an enhanced physical form. Conversely they may dabble in all of the above, but only minorly. Those of the C class are most often the individuals being tasked with contracts, but are not individually that famous with some exceptions due to the sheer number of them.	The second most common sort rating for contracts, these often include beings with some measure of magical ability and who normal civilians or those below this rank would be incapable of dealing with. Such contracts often involve scoping out moderately dangerous locations, such as small licenti or monster nests or perhaps radioactive zones. They include semi-rare item acquisition, escort missions, and a few body guard contracts here and there for those who are themselves the targets of violence or dangerous trickery. Jobs of this rating often pay $300-700 on average.
B	The third most common class of Hunter, those of this designation are experienced in two of the three ways of combat—Martial, Magical, and Technological—but have not mastered them fully. They are often experts in their field of choice and are sent out to deal with monster infestations, dangerous artifacts, and to Hunt down those that prey on the innocent and/or unwary. Individuals of this rating are often somewhat well known in the regions they frequent most, but are more often the sort who have names or titles that you do not remember, despite you knowing who someone is talking about.	The most common contract rating, such contracts often include the hunting of more dangerous licentia and the rare magical beast. Individuals can be expected to enter zones containing multiple lesser hostile entities, animals, or magical phenomena. They can be expected to infiltrate locations of medium security such as prisons, and they are sometimes tasked to search for certain classes of magical artifacts which are not rare, but not common either. Contracts of this class, on average, pay $800-1700.
A	Containing the best of the best, most Hunters do not progress past this rating, yet despite this it is the second most common class. These individuals are drastically more experienced, infamous, and powerful than those of B class. They are capable of combating multiple experienced magi, or a single grandmaster mage. They are martially adept or highly trained with firearms and/or other magical weaponry. These individuals are typically very knowledgeable and they are common knowledge in most parts of the world, you probably know their titles, if not their names. These individuals are exceptional.	Contracts of this class are difficult and exceptionally dangerous. Only individuals of a high caliber, meaning some B class Hunters, and most A class, are allowed to take them. These involve rare artifacts capable of causing severe damage to an entire region, beings capable of devastating towns or cities—if given time or left to their own devices. It even includes missions that would take a Hunter outside of Medius though these are less common. These contracts often pay above $3500
S	Where A class Hunters are infamous in their own right, it is those of S rank and beyond that truly everyone has heard of. When their names come up people pay attention, politicians make calls, and people make their jobs as easy as possible. These are people a cut above the rest. They are those who have been recognized by those of the SS class, who themselves were chosen by IHO's mysterious and enigmatic leader. Individuals of this rating are capable of handling three or four grandmaster magi, they are people with training in all three forms of combat, and they are those with access to a greater pool of resources than every hunter beneath them. These hunters, in most cases, have worked for the organization for over 30 years and, as proof of their dedication, are awarded this rank, which affords them access to the usually restricted second and third floors of IHO Regional Headquarters. There are less than 12 individuals of this rank at this time.	While no contract designations exist beyond S class, contracts of this rank are essentially shared among the top three ranks of IHO, though some A rank individuals, or groups of A class Hunters, may be assigned contracts of this difficulty level. In essence, S class contracts involve threats that have the potential to do meaningful damage to cities or large towns or anything that goes beyond such a level. An individual who submits a S class contract may—through the inclusion of certain details—request that a Hunter of S class rating or above take the job rather than someone else. Additionally, jobs of this threat level typically pay around 1.5 million or more depending on the Hunter(s) who take it and the resulting difficulty of the assigned tasks. More often than not, S class contracts are given to IHO by large businesses, organizations, or governments—though occasionally the exorbitantly rich.
SS	Individuals capable of almost unimaginable feats, Hunters of this class are chosen by the leader of IHO himself and are very few in number. In fact, it is said that there are less than 10 at current time. The identity of these Hunters is typically unknown, though their aliases are known worldwide by practically anyone who matters—and many on the lower rungs of society as well due to the magnitude of their work. Should one of these illusive individuals be assigned to a contract, you better hope that it wasn't to deal with you.	See S Class.
SSS	Individuals who have risen through the ranks and reached the highest position in IHO's ranks, these Hunters are almost never seen active on contracts out in the world. Their aliases or names—to those few who might know them—elicit shivers and despite them not being recognized by their appearance or the like by the common folk, these are the sort of people that bedtime stories are told about—not that anyone knows those stories are about them. These individuals take their orders directly from IHO's elusive leader, and it is said that the leader of IHO is among their very small number. After all, there are only four people of this rank...or at least only four who are part of the organization.	See S Class.
