4-Way Battle Royale!

[Jacogos]

Not so much an issued challenge as a place for this already accepted challenge to be discussed and fine tuned.

This will be a glory match between myself (Jacogos), La Volpe, Beta, and Cfavano.

Alright fellows, here's the down-low. Pick yourself a character and we'll get this shin-dig under way. Declare your champion and link his/her character sheet to this OOC-thing. We will then figure out our battle zone.

It should be obvious that the match will be carried out through a strict Posting Order. Likely I'll just do a number generator for a d100 and we'll go from there. Any other details we can discuss after characters are chosen. Go ahead and ask away when you post the link.

I myself will be using Jacob the Shade (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=10331&p=437441&viewfull=1#post437441).

[La Volpe]

I don't know how to direct link to my cs... But I'll just copy and past it here in a spoiler if that;s fine with all of you.

My champion is The Golden Knight, Matthew LionHeart.

General Information:

Name: Matthew LionHeart, The Golden Knight, The Holy Blade.

Name of Super form: Excalibur

Age: 32

Gender: Male

Race: Human, Chosen one of a Archangel

Appearance:

http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs40/f/2009/040/8/2/Anima__Romeo_E__by_Wen_M.jpg


Build:
Stands at 6'4, weighing 156 pounds. His skin is a rich brown color. His body is mainly muscle, though there is fat on him.

Hair: His hair is a rich gold color, worn long, it ends at the middle of his back.

Eyes:
His eyes are a crystal blue, only found on the brightest of days.

Distinctive Features:
A mysterious scar in the center of his forehead, Matthew has no idea where the scar came from, as it had been there since birth.

Clothes / Armour:

Matthew wears a suit of golden half plate armor, given to him on the day of his ascension to the position of Holy Knight. The armor is oddly light, yet it retains most of its defensive capability. The armor is infused with minor defense charms, increasing the amount of damage Matthew can take. Also wears a long azure cape with golden charms hooked on the edges, as to distract the enemy as he moves.



Fighting Style: Hand and a half sword, holy magic.

Weapons:

Heavens Grace: (See appearance)

A golden hand and half sword, and the second gift to Matthew on his ascension day. The sword and sheath both are infused with massive amounts of holy energy, making the very sight of the blade painful to weaker demons. The blade of the sword also is infused with runes to gather light around it to aid Matthew. The sword can only be destroyed by demonic magic of a high demon, or by holy magic that it was forged with. Seemingly weightless in the hands of Matthew, the sword is actually very heavy, but do to years of use, the weight is unnoticeable to the Knight.



Offensive:

Radiant Light- Drawing his golden blade, Matthew can generate a blinding light that can momentarily blind or stun those around him. For some reason, Matthew can only activate this power when he draws his sword from its sheath.

Piercing Light- Channeling the rays of light around him, Matthew can launch a beam of hardened light. These blasts seem almost like glowing sword blades, able to pierce and cut through materials. Matthew can rapid fire these, though the more he fires, the weaker they are. (Single shot goes through a guys shield and arm, while all shots after only slam into the shield.)

Solar Slash- As Matthew absorbs light into his sword, he can release it all at once in a mighty slash. Launching a massive wave of energy crashing into the enemies. This is the second strongest of Matthews abilities, but it is also the second most draining.

Heavens Gambit- Matthews strongest and most dangerous ability. With the aid of the Celestial Wings, Matthew soars into the sky, absorbing massive amounts of light. Once his blade has become a shining beacon, He dispels his wings and starts plummeting towards the earth. Extending his sword as he falls Matthew becomes a shining comet, smashing into the ground and his enemies, causing a massive explosion of light and holy magic. Due to the massive release of magic energy and light, Matthews body becomes paralyzed for at least 4 turns, the most 6.

Support Powers:

Celestial Wings- Using the light around him, Matthew can create a set of Golden wings that give him the ability of flight for a short period of time. This power requires direct sunlight to form the wings, once formed they will last for at the most 20 minutes.

Healing Touch: Channeling holy magic through his hand, Matthew can heal minor wounds such as shallow cuts, speed up the healing of broken bones, and make minor wounds such as bruises and such with little effort.

Golden Aegis- Focusing and shaping the light around him, Matthew can form multiple floating round shields that will revolve around him for protection. At the most, Matthew can have four shields crafted at once. Each shield will shatter after a number of blows, the number varies on the strength of the blows.

Once Matthew enters Excalibur mode, all of these powers increase drastically! His healing touch can mend broken bones with ease, it's even able to expel poisons from the recipients body. Golden Aegis increases from four shields to eight and become much harder to break. This is the same basic principle with his offensive skills, they become less taxing on him, able to use the ability quicker, and they increase in damage.

Excalibur Mode Spell:

Cross of Judgment: A spell only usable in Excalibur mode, Matthew creates a massive seven foot tall golden cross. The cross at first will only act as a shield, but for each blow it stops, the damage is absorbed within it. This lasts for 3 turns, after that, the cross explodes, causing as much damage as it had absorbed over the three turns. This can, and does hurt Matthew if he's caught within the 50 foot blast radius. After using this, Matthew returns to his normal form.

After about 5 posts, I will begin rolling a d10. The effects of said roll will last for one full turn, unless said otherwise.

What each roll will entail-

1. Matthew loses all stored energy, and is stunned for 2 turns, unable to move or counter.

2. Matthew loses his energy, but is not stunned. Though he is slowed greatly.

3. Matthews energy is cut in half, no other debuffs.

4. Matthew loses a small portion of his energy, nothing else.

5. Nothing happens, normal turn.

6. Small boost to energy levels.

7. Double energy level, speed and strength increase slightly.

8. Double energy level, speed and strength increase greatly.

9. Triple energy level, massive boost to all traits.

10. Enters Excalibur mode.


Attributes:

Matthew is in a basic sense human. But from birth he was secretly infused with holy magic, as to prepare his body for becoming a vessel of a Archangel. He bleeds, tires, feels like a normal human, but he is faster, stronger and more adapt at both magic, and sword play.


Biography:

Found early in the morning outside of a large church, Matthew was raised in a sea of religion. There were many whispers about the young boy as he grew up, mainly over his unnatural gold eyes. But the head priest of the church would not hear any of it, saying that this boy was a gift from the heavens, and that he should be treated fairly.

Under the watchful eye of the church, Matthew grew into a fine young man with a strong moral compass. Around this time though, a great war had broken out, and all able bodied men were required to fight for the Holy Church. This is were Matthew learned of war, and how to fight... After several events, Matthew was sent to the Holy City, where he became a royal knight of the church. Now he wanders the world, fighting evil with his 'unique' abilities and protecting the weak from the strong.

Personality:
A man of the people, Matthew believes that every person deserves to be protected. He comes a crossed at first as a very passive person, when in fact he is a tenacious warrior and a avid fighter. With a heart for peace, and a mind made for war, Matthew is nothing short of a interesting person. Though he will not admit it, Matthew has a warm heart beneath his warrior exterior. Seeing the world for what it is, a cruel and dangerous place, Matthew takes it upon himself to be a enforcer of justice and law, which sadly gets him in more trouble than it's honestly worth.


If a 10 is rolled, Matthew will become possessed by his chosen Arcangel, transforming how he looks, and massively increasing all of his traits and powers. Once he enters this mode, every turn I will roll the d10 again, if I get anything under a 5, he will revert back to normal, taking a instant 1.

Appearance: http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs15/f/2007/035/7/4/Angels__Michael_by_Wen_M.jpg


Build:
Stands at 6'4, weighing 156 pounds. His skin shifts from a deep brown, to a snow like pale.

Hair: Suddenly becomes much lighter, and becomes very short (See Picture)

Eyes:
His eyes become a deep, dark blue similar to that found by looking at a storm raging out at sea.

Distinctive Features: The mysterious scar in the center of his forehead will suddenly begin to glow softly, a massive golden ring appears behind his head, floating of its own accord. Also, a pair of massive, golden wings can be seen shimmering behind him, though they don't come into existence until he activates Celestial Wings.

Clothes / Armour:

In Excalibur mode, the golden half plate armor, given to him on the day of his ascension to the position of Holy Knight, suddenly radiates light, exuding holy might. The minor defense charms, increasing the amount of damage Matthew can take, suddenly increase, able to withstand massive amounts of punishment, while draining his energy supply less. The long azure cape he wears will disintegrate once in this mode.

Weapon: (See Excalibur appearance)

Excalibur: Matthews very sword will transform into a blade of pure light, transforming from a hand and a half sword, becoming a golden great sword. This blade is able to slice through solid steel with ease. The sword absorbs massive amounts of light, causing the area around it to actually darken, making Matthew glow with energy.

[Cfavano]

I think I'm going to make a hole new character for this

[La Volpe]

I just saw what your working on Cf... Lovely. She'll be a challenge for Matthew, that's for sure.

[Jacogos]

Interesting. From Prototype, I assume? Or based off of, at least.

I'm going to need to bring my A-game against that monstrosity...

Now I just have to worry what Beta is thinking about bringing to the field xD

[Salroka]

I was thinking either Ishika or Kirugetsu for this one. Both are yet unbloodied and both are pretty damn potent. But after some thought, I decided against Ishika. She's got Mangekyo Sharingan. In a 1-shot fight, that's far too tempting to just spam the crap out of. So here's Kirugetsu.

Rejected from the Seven Swordmen


Name: Kirugetsu Hozuki
Nickname/Alias: Acid-Maw Hozuki
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Age Appearance: Same
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Village: Amegakure
Birthplace: Kirigakure
Organization: Amegakure, Amegakure Jounin

Clan/Bloodline: Hozuki

Rank: Jounin

Chakra Nature: Water, Acid

Appearance:

http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire2/4a559087512e173af2c3e0fda999898e1289593321_full.jp g

Personality: Kirugetsu is to his enemies what a butcher is to livestock. He enjoys his job and is not afraid to get his hands dirty. A cheerful fellow under most circumstances, he seems just as comfortable on a battlefield as he does in a restaurant with his allies. This leads many to either distrust him, or want to be good friends with him. He prefers his meals raw, be they vegetables or be they meat. He is not a fan of noodles, as they must be cooked. Bread is alright, though. And he is incredibly proud of his heritage as a Hozuki. Any who insult it is likely in for a fight.

History: Kirugetsu is actually what some in Kirigakure would call a failure. As with many of the Mist Village’s skilled shinobi, Kirugetsu once aspired to join the ranks of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. However, his skill was centered on Ninjutsu and the use of the Hozuki Hydrification Technique in close-range Taijutsu. Sure, his skill with a blade was significant… but nowhere near what was expected of a member of the Seven Swordsmen. Each day his peers scoffed him at as the “not quite seventh swordsman”. At least, that was how he felt. Truth be told, he was only made fun of very rarely. For the most part, his peers tried to encourage him to improve and try again. But his mind was already set on the matter. He would have no more of their bullshit.

Already being a Jounin of his village, Kirugetsu was clearly not without skill. And he reasoned along the lines that if they didn’t value him in Kirigakure, that he would take his skill elsewhere… along with the blade that he had tried to gain entry into the Seven Swordsmen with. He still went on missions for Kirigakure, biding his time until the right moment. And finally, in a skirmish at the edge of the Island, his chance presented itself.

A group of rebels from Kumogakure to the north, tried in vain to besiege Kirigakure in an attempt to gain the Raikage’s favor. The attack was unsanctioned, and the rebels were to be put to death. Kirugetsu was among those sent to deal with them. Two of the five were moderately skilled lightning shinobi, and the leader of Kirugetsu’s team suggested he hang back. ”Bullshit.” said Kirugetsu. “I’m not afraid of them.” … the leader shrugged and told Kirugetsu it was ‘his funeral’. His funeral indeed. This was the moment he had been waiting for.

In a heated battle, the Kumo Shinobi were defeated. But Kirugetsu was nowhere to be found. Last anyone saw, he was fighting one of the Lightning-Users out on the open water. Odd that he didn’t fuse with the water in the Demon Fish Transformation. Instead, he engaged the Kumo girl in close combat… almost as if seeking death. Well, his behavior HAD been odd lately. Maybe failing to become one of the Seven Swordsmen had a bigger effect on him than everyone thought. Indeed, the Kumo girl even returned to her country to boast about killing a Hozuki on open water. But the Hozuki she killed was far from dead.

The lightning attack had been incredibly painful, and rendered Kirugetsu unconscious and jelly-like… floating motionless among the currents that surrounded the Water Nation’s main island. After several hours, he awoke. This was all he could have hoped for. He was free of the bastards in Kiri that had mocked him for the past six months. But where to now, he wondered. Kumo wasn’t an option, too many lightning users there. They always made him a bit uncomfortable. Konoha was out of the picture, too. Too peace-loving for his tastes. Iwagakure and Sunagakure were both a BIGTIME no, too dry for his liking.

This left the smaller ninja villages. Kusagakure had a decent water supply, especially near the Blood Prison. But they also had, you know… the Blood Prison. What about Amegakure, he pondered. It was small, ignored, and had plenty of water. Yes. That is where he would go. And so he set off on what would be a hell of a long walk. The trip across water was fast enough, as he simply used his “Exploding Water Shockwave” jutsu, and rode the wave for dozens of miles at a time. The overland trek, however, was not so pleasant. It was summer time, and the heat in the southern Fire Nation was fairly oppressive. Luckily there were plenty of little lakes and streams, which Kirugetsu used to cool off and refresh himself.

On his way, he took a couple short-term jobs in the small towns he came across. Usually this meant working as a bodyguard for someone of little importance but significant wealth. This allowed the man to keep his funds up. After all, Hozuki or not, a man needed to eat now and again. This trend of walking for a few days, stopping and looking for an odd job or two, then resuming travel, continued for nearly six weeks. Finally, the skilled shinobi reached the borders of the Rain Nation. It lived up to its name quite well. For three out of the four days it took him to walk to Amegakure from the border… it rained.

Upon arrival, the Hozuki sought out one of the village’s shinobi. He asked if he could acquire a position among them. Now clearly, he was successful in doing so. HOW he did so is another matter. If asked, Kirugetsu will smile in his usual cheerful manner, and say: ”It’s not complicated really. I mean, back in the day in Kiri, we’d just kill our way to the top. Not like I had to kill a dozen people to do the same here. Luckily for them, right?” He gets mixed reactions to the statement, and enjoys every second of the confusion.

Alas, now he is a Jounin for Amegakure, rather than his native Kirigakure. And thanks to the atmosphere, the plentiful water, and the lack of people mocking his past failure… he couldn’t be happier.

Weapons/Items:

Stolen from Kirigakure

http://asatthebook.com/photos/katana.jpg

Every time this sword is drawn, it consumes a small amount (around 5% of the sword's capacity) of the wielder's Chakra. Every time it is swung, it also consumes a tiny amount (around 1%) of Chakra. The user may, at any time, choose to unleash this consumed chakra in a single attack that varies in power depending on the percentage total. The blade glows blue when it consumes chakra, and becomes brighter the more it has consumed. Any chakra stored and not used remains in the sword for later use.

6-25%: The attack fires off a wave of blue energy at the foe. Capable of cutting down 3 to 5 trees if it misses (to give example of the power it has).
26-45%: The attack unleashes a trio of the attacks listed above, or a single massive blast with minor homing capabilities.
46-65%: The attack becomes a torrent of lesser blue energy balls that erupt into the sky before raining down on the target.
66-85%: The attack changes further by surrounding the user in the energy balls listed above. These circle the user and can be used both as defense and attack.
86%+: The attack reverts to its blast-form, but fires off an attack so massive that even tailed beasts need worry about its sheer destructive capability.

Special Traits
Immense Strength thanks to Hozuki Hydrification Technique
High Endurance due to the above, except when it comes to Lightning Style Jutsu
Above Average Chakra Pool

Kekkei Genkai: Acid Release
Name of Kekkei Genkai: "Corrosive Style"
Type: Dual Element
Clan: None
Description: The human body is full of corrosive things. Saliva being a simple example and stomach acid being an extreme example. Kirugetsu makes use of this and turns these things into his weapon. By forcing chakra into his stomach or salivary glands, he can create immense amounts of acid and expel it from his body as easily as any other water-style user does so with water. It is a powerful thing, but also does little to discriminate between ally and enemy. If an area attack form of "Corrosive Style" is used, it will generally be as dangerous to friend as it is to foe.

Hiden: Hydrification Technique (http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hydration_Technique)
Type: Ninjutsu
Clan: Hozuki
Description: A protean, whole-body technique whereby the user liquefies their entire body at will, making it impossible to receive damage from physical attacks. From a single hair, to the skin and muscles, everything can be liquefied and solidified at will. Be it to evade an enemy's attack during a short-range battle, to infiltrate a structure, or to launch a surprise attack in a liquefied state, this technique boasts a high strategic value. Applying this technique, the user can also modify their body parts for suitable situations. Boasting high strategic value, the only way to contain a user of this technique is to lock them up in an airtight container so they cannot move about. When the user passes out, they turn into a jelly-like state. Since this technique turns the body into water, the Hōzuki are extremely vulnerable to Lightning Release techniques.

Name of Technique: Corrosive Style: Butcher's Bile
Type of Jutsu: Offensive, Ninjutsu
Rank: B-Rank
Range: Short
Nature Type: Acid
Handseals: None
Description: Kirugetsu forces Chakra into his stomach and forms a large amount of stomach acid. This chakra-imbued acid is then forcibly exuded from the mouth at any one attacker within 3 meters. The enhanced acid is incredibly caustic, and capable of dissolving flesh from bone in under thirty seconds if not washed away. Even if washed away, it will likely leave very painful burns.
Weakness: Pitifully short range, Can be washed off before major damage occurs

Name of Technique: Corrosive Style: Acidic Pulse
Type of Jutsu: Offensive, Ninjutsu
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short to Medium
Nature Type: Acid
Handseals: None
Description: Kirugetsu makes the same hand shape as with the Hozuki-Style Water Gun, but the projectile takes on a sickly green color. It can be fired as a single attack, which is fairly accurate and powerful. It may also be used as a barrage of multiple shots, to ensure a hit or flush a foe from hiding. Each shot is forceful enough to crack stone with relative ease, and packs a powerful acid that is capable of melting through organic and inorganic material. Inorganic substances take longer to corrode, however.
Weakness: Used as a barrage, the shots are not likely deadly... and cause little more than an intense but brief pain and a small burn mark around the wound. Much like a Senbon coated in a weak acid.

Name of Technique: Corrosive Style: Demon Rain
Type of Jutsu: Offensive, Ninjutsu
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Medium ( 50m Radius Around Kirugetsu )
Nature Type: Acid
Handseals: Ram -> Rat -> Tiger -> Horse
Description: Kirugetsu spews a massive amount of Chakra-enhanced acid into the sky above. This acid fuses with or creates a cloud above him, and then begins to rain down upon the battlefield. A single drop is far from deadly, doing the same damage as a barrage shot from his "Acidic Pulse" jutsu. But the rain is fairly heavy, at around 300 drops per square meter per minute. The damage this can cause in a mass battle is enormous in scale. The only respite is a small ( 3m ) area surrounding Kirugetsu, in which no rain falls. The "Eye of the Storm", in every sense of the term.
Weakness: Harms allies as easily as enemies, "Eye of the Storm" Area

[Cfavano]

Yea, essentially she's a FemMercer, but her backstory will be different.

[La Volpe]

So we have a Shade, a Paladin, a FemMercer, and a swordsman rejected from the seven. This'll be a extremely interesting battle.

[Cfavano]

Indeed and you all are biological, and you know what that means ;)

[Salroka]

Indeed and you all are biological, and you know what that means ;)

You forget the greatest thing about being from the Hozuki Clan in Naruto. :3

[Cfavano]

It's also his greatest weakness, for water is easy to pollute.

[Salroka]

I'm not too terribly worried.

[Cfavano]

Well, she's done.

[Jacogos]

Demon, paladin, ninja Mage, and that guy from mortal kombat *joke*

Yeah, this'll be a riot xD

Thankfully I know how to link things, so I'll be doing that when I get back on a computer. I also can't believe I forgot to post in my DD battles last night >.>

Anywho nows the time we talk about an arena. I was gonna go with a simple forest battle, but if you guys have anything fun you wanna try, post some ideas.

[Cfavano]

A city.

[Salroka]

A city.

Central Park.

[Jacogos]

So a forest AND a city xD

I know why you want a city, cf; femmercer makes thing go splat with the hundreds of cars lying about xD

[Cfavano]

I could just as easily uproot a tree or hurl a boulder. I just like urban areas better.

- - - Updated - - -

plus, lots of places to hide. makes the hunt much more fun.

[Salroka]

makes the hunt much more fun.

Oh you have no idea.

[Jacogos]

I'm game for starting in Central Park. We'll wait for Volpe to put in an opinion, though.

[E1Alpha]

If I may intrude upon this: Why not have a battlefield that changes at the roll of a die?

[Jacogos]

I suppose the Proving Grounds could administer that without bending the laws of physics too bad. (See the OP of mine and Beta's fight for what the Proving Grounds is)

Thoughts?

[Cfavano]

So.. it's essentially a Hunger Games-like place?

[Jacogos]

I never read the Hunger Games. The Proving Grounds is simply an arena that can modify itself to suspend the fighters in any sort of virtual reality the Overseer wishes (Since Jacob will be participating, the Overseer will be one of my other PCs). Very useful for what E1 suggests, honestly.

[Cfavano]

yup, hunger games XD. essentially

[Salroka]

I still vote Central Park. It has everything. Forests, Lakes/Ponds, Buildings, and if you're feeling adventurous... sewers and underground areas.

[Jacogos]

Weird. I truly have not read or seen either version of the Hunger Games, so I'll blame ignorance there xD

I too am a little partial to keeping it simple, but I still would like to hear what Volpe thinks, if he ever gets his ass back on xD

[Cfavano]

I say we just start it!

[Jacogos]

I'll write stuff up and, whether or not Volpe replies by then, will post the battle in the Colosseum tomorrow.

[Cfavano]

Good. Is it okay if I add the power from Prototype 2 to call two brawlers to aid her?

- - - Updated - - -

I honestly forget the power name.

[Jacogos]

I'd prefer staying away from summons. Turns a 1v1v1v1 into a 1v1v1v3, even if all parties aren't on the same level. Considering your character, you don't need the boost.

[Salroka]

Agreed. Your character is likely the biggest bruiser of the bunch, you shouldn't need summons.

Good thing I didn't bring in my X-Men character. :3 His power: Toxikinesis and Viromancy. So... your character'd have been in trouble. XD

[Cfavano]

@beta: har de har har.

Also, for those not familiar with Prototype, here's Alex Mercer in action:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umQ3Gm8PvE0

[La Volpe]

I'm up for central park, lots of light for me to use, easy to super charge my guy! Thought the proving ground would work just as well. But I'll cast my vote for central park.

@Beta- Toxikinesis and Viromancy? I call shenanigans!

[Cfavano]

Indeed. There is Biomancy, but not Viromancy.

[Salroka]

Viromancy is just controlling and manipulating bacteria and viruses. S'why his code-name was Pestilence.

[Cfavano]

I don't see why it would bother her. Yes, she can spread a virus, but she isn't a virus. She's an evolved being.

[Salroka]

If Pestilence were to take the virus from her entirely?What would she be left with?

And might I ask where the CS for this character is? I haven't seen it yet.

[Cfavano]

General Information:
Name: Alexis Murcione
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Race: Evolved

Appearance:

http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/195/7/b/prototype_chick_by_alecyl-d5783xi.jpg

Distinctive Features:

She has glowing red eyes

Clothes / Armour:

Technically she wears no clothes or armor, but can use her biomass to take on the appearance of clothes. However, she can encase her body in a hard shell of biomass. This works as armor, but slows her down somewhat.

Fighting Style:

She uses a fairly simple fighting style using her different biological weapon forms, but she can also use guns and hijacked vehicles.

Weapons:

Utilizing her biomass, Alicia can alter her body into several weapon forms:


Claws - When activated, the biomass of the arms shifts into three-fingered, one-thumbed talon-like appendages that can used to shred flesh and bone, allowing dismemberment of human-sized enemies with ease.

Blade - When Alicia activates this ability, an elongated double ended blade forms from the base of the right elbow, turning their arm into a giant razor sharp cutting weapon. It is extremely effective at close range, and is very effective against both armored and unarmored vehicles and people.

Hammerfists - The Hammerfists are Alexis's anti-vehicle ability. By shifting large amounts of biomass into her fists, Alexis is able to create massive, hammer-like hands to crush her enemies with. Extremely effective against heavy armor and vehicles, but very slow.

Whipfist - The Whipfist consists of an extendable, elongated appendage with a blade at the end. Given its unique status as a ranged attack, the Whipfist is usually the weapon of choice when opposed by distant enemies. It can hit multiple enemies at range, grab and draw in a distant enemy, or be used at a grappling hook.

Tendrils - The Tendrils weapon consists of two moves. One consists of Alexis stringing together objects around her along with human-class enemies, using her biomass. They are usually immediately killed upon impact, with their corpses mutilated and torn apart while being held by the tendril mass that stick to the surroundings. Larger or stronger creatures are temporarily immobilized, giving Alexis the option to strike a paralyzing blow.

Shield - When using the Shield Power, a large amount of biomass is shifted to the left arm, molding it into a nigh-impenetrable black-biomass shield. It is capable of nullifying all damage up to it's damage threshold and incoming projectiles are randomly deflected. It can be used while sprinting and Alexis can bash enemies with it.

Armor - Her other defensive weapon. A layer of hardened biomass forms over her 'skin', reducing the damage she takes, at the cost of reduced speed. She cannot glide, but can still run up walls. She can use other weapons in conjunction with this weapon. Unlike the shield, the armor cannot break.

Abilities:

Hunter's sense - If she has made contact with what she is fighting or hunting, she can emit a sonar-like pulse which allows her to detect her prey.

Glide - Using an ability unknown to even her, she can glide through the sky.

Infra-vision - She can change her eyes to be able to see in the infrared spectrum, penetrating obstacles, smoke, and the like. However, she cannot see as far when using this mode.

Consume - She can consume the genetic material of her foes and gain their memories and abilities.

Transform: Every person she's ever consumed has left it's DNA with her, and she can take on that person's form at will. She still has access to all of her abilities in these forms.

Attributes:

Heightened senses/Reflexes - Being an 'apex predator' type of being, Alexis can receive and respond to external stimuli much faster than humans

Heightened Strength - Alexis has such strength that she can hurl around automobiles and other large and heavy objects with ease and accuracy, as well as punch through tank armor, and solid concrete. This essentially means she is MUCH stronger than humans can ever be.

Super Speed/Agility - Alexis can rut at speeds fast enough to keep up with a sportscar, jump over 100 feet in the air, run up the side of a sheer wall/building, and graceful enough to keep her balance on narrow ledges.

Infectious personality - As an Evolved, she can spread the Mercer virus by contact or by focusing and releasing her biomass as a could of spores that extends for 20 feet all around her.

Cat-like grace - Alexis can fall from any height and not be harmed

Biomass body - as Alexis is made entirely of biomass, she has no internal organs, and cannot be affected by internal damage.

Biography: Alexis was raised in a very poor part of New York city. Her father was abusive, and her mother was a drug-addled prostitute. Every day of her childhood was hell, and as she approached her teenage years, she became very anti-social. One night, after a horrible beating by her father, she finally wan away, and was going to take a train out of the city. But fate intervened, and that was the night that Alex Mercer released the virus in Penn station. She then woke up later in a lab. Everything after that for the next three weeks is a blur, but she realizes the gift that Mercer inadvertently gave her. And she uses it to get back at those she perceives as 'useless' and spreads the virus wherever she goes.


Personality: Antisocial, Antagonistic, Violent, sadistic, and heartless

[Salroka]

Two letters describe that character very well.

[Cfavano]

them being?

[Salroka]

OP

But then, she's Alex Mercer with boobs. So OP is expected.

[Cfavano]

Yep, and all of her powers I took directly from the games

[Salroka]

I know. I played them both. Had I known initially that you were bringing in a Virus-based Prototype Character, I'd have chosen differently. No, not Pestilence... he'd be cheating. But someone better equipped, to be sure. But then, Kirugetsu is far from weak. So I'm sure it won't be a cakewalk for you, either.

[Jacogos]

I'm actually slowly starting to think that femMercer really is too powerful here cf. would you at least CONSIDER using someone else?

[Salroka]

I'll still fight it using Kiru, but would not object to using someone a little more appropriate. If CF doesn't want to use someone else, I'll change characters instead. But I do agree with you, J. Mercette is potent enough that it would likely turn into a "dogpile CF until that chara's dead, then we have a 3-way battle." scenario. And I wouldn't like that any more than CF would.

[Cfavano]

Good point. There's also the fact that all she has to do is touch you and she wins, essentially. I'll look.

[Cfavano]

Necro-regeneration: as her body is made entirely of necoplasm, she can close the wounds she has taken, however, this will sap her energy, and if used too much, she'll pass out.

She had a man she was in love with, and wanted to marry. Her boss was going to let her quit after one last job, but he tricked her, and instead, he killed her by burning her to death, and blowing up the building she was in. When she died, she went to hell, and the Lord of hell made a deal with her. If she were to lead his army, she would be able to see the man she love again. But he tricked her, and she was sent back a horribly disfigured shell. Her anger was intense, and she rebelled against her 'master', and instead fights against demons, and protects earth from their advances.

[Salroka]

Scream symphony: The mouth of the sword opens and unleashes a powerful scream. The scream stuns the enemy for one post, and makes the sword vibrate, giving it a vorpal edge for 3 posts. Recharges in 4 posts

Sounds autokill-ish to me. Stun someone for a round, then cut them down with a vorpal attack.

But other than that, I have no big issue.

[Jacogos]

I'd feel better if you limit the chains to a certain number at any given time and slow them down considerably. Otherwise there's REALLY very little difference here. Look over our three characters, cf. imagine their viewpoints. How long do you think it will take for your character to prove itself the greatest threat and immediately become hanged up on?

Ironically enough, we're trying to help you not get ganked while still surviving long enough to win. That's the point of any FFA

[Cfavano]

well, I have a problem, too.

If my character isn't strong enough to go against an Angelic paladin, a daemon, and an S-ranked Ninja, I'll lose anyway.

[Cfavano]

How about this one?

Name: Inquisitor Scythia Kalta of the Ordo malleus
Age: 36
Gender: Female
Race: Human

Appearance:
http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs5/i/2004/298/4/d/Slay_the_Wyrm_by_PaleLonginus.jpg

Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Grey, Red (cybernetic)
Distinctive Features:
Inquisition tattoo on forehead, cybernetic eye

Clothes / Armour:

Inquisition-pattern Power Armor (in picture). This armor is made of a ceramic-based material known as ceramite that is a very potent shock absorber and is highly resistant to energy attacks. This armor also vastly increases her strength.

Psychic Hood: A special type of helmet given to psykers like her to protect her mind against the intrusions of daemons and other psykers, giving her immunity to mental control, hypnosis, confusion, and mental-based illusions

Cybernetic eye: After losing her eye, it was replaced with a mechanical one. Being not an eye of flesh, it is not subject to the normal weaknesses of a normal eye. As such, it increases her accuracy, and can see through illusions.

Fighting Style: She combines swordplay with shooting, and the addition of her Psyker powers

Weapons:

Power Sword: A power sword is a type of power weapon. Power Weapons generally exude a hazy, blue-coloured field of energy that wraps around the primary impact region of a melee weapon, be it a sword's blade or warhammer's head and is capable of disrupting the molecular bonds of matter when it strikes. These weapons may be constructed to appear as a primitive, simple melee weapon, with the power field generator concealed within the hilt or haft of the weapon. Once the power field is switched on, however, the obvious humming sound given off and the blue light gives the secret of the weapon's true nature away.

Plasma pistol: The Plasma Pistol is a short-ranged, single-handed pistol version of the Imperial Plasma Gun that makes use of a micro-fusion nuclear reaction to superheat a cartridge of gas into the state of matter known as plasma and then release it in a concentrated blast of weapons fire using an electromagnetic bubble.

Servo Skull: A small mechanical ally that floats near her and has a telepathic link to her through a cybernetic implant. She can see through it's sensors, and can coordinate her attacks with it by making it scout an area. It has somewhat strong armor, and is very hard to destroy because of it's small size, and how nimble it is. As a last resort, it can self-destruct with the force of a powerful bomb.

Abilities:

Smite - Scytha hurls a last of energy at a foe, causing damage. Recharges in one turn.

Witchfire - Sends out a gout of multicolored energy at a foe that causes disorientation. Recharges in two turns.

Flame Breath - Breathes a gout of flame out of her mouth that extends 10 feet out, and, at it's widest, 20 feet wide. Recharges in 3 turns

Molten Beam - Shoots out a beam of super-heated energy that can pierce even the toughest armor, and reduce heavy tanks to piles of molten slag. Recharges in 5 turns.

Attributes:

Scythia knows daemons and their tricks, and, as such, when combating a daemon, demon, or other being of darkness, she can fight harder and better, and their powers are less effective against her.

As an Alpha-level psyker, her mental powers are very powerful.

Biography: Scythia was born on Terra, and inducted into the forces of the Ecclesiarchy at a young age for this is when her psyker powers emerged. She was, at first, considered dangerous, as she was an Alpha-grade, and thought to be insane. However, a council of Inquisitors decided that she might be useful, and she was put under the care of the Ordo Malleus, far away from contact with non-Inquisitorial people. She was raised in a small compound on a desolate moon, and the hunting of Daemons and monsters is all she knows.


Personality: Stern and austere, Scythia sees her duties as holy work, and she goes all out, never showing any mercy.

[Salroka]

Kirugetsu is nowhere near an S-Rank. S-Rank is Itachi/Pain/Raikage-level BS. He's nowhere near that level.

And think of it this way, CF. We're all trying to be more or less equal so that none of us is too great a threat. That way, as J pointed out, no one gets ganged up on and murdered right out the gate. You know? Pit three average wrestlers against a fourth wrestler who is 6'10 and 350lbs... they're gonna team up against him. Know what I mean?

[Cfavano]

Well, how's this one, then?

[Jacogos]

Hahaha, Jacob will get a kick out of her. Well honestly he'd probably get a kick out if any one of your characters.

I'm not going to try to balance out anymore . If you feel comfortable with this one, by all means. You'll soon come to realize that even my scary demon is probably more mundane and lifelike than 90% of your characters.

I'll have the match up soon as I get on a computer.

[Salroka]

Knowing only basic stuff about 40k, I can't really say. I'm more of an Anime-themed RPer, if no one has noticed. So Hardcore Fantasy and Sci-Fi stuff tend to be outside my realm of experience.

[Cfavano]

Hahaha, Jacob will get a kick out of her. Well honestly he'd probably get a kick out if any one of your characters.

I'm not going to try to balance out anymore . If you feel comfortable with this one, by all means. You'll soon come to realize that even my scary demon is probably more mundane and lifelike than 90% of your characters.

I'll have the match up soon as I get on a computer.

Really? I never really got that into the battle arena, which is why my characters aren't all that complex. But, she's deep enough for her universe

[Jacogos]

It's not the complexity I care about, it's the balance. You relish in playing characters that force your opponents to have to think of every possibility in order to stand a chance while you yourself only have to tap in to their basic abilities to win.

In lame man's term, you like using God-tier characters. There's no other term for it.

[Cfavano]

fine, you know what, here, I'll use him:

Name: Brandis Zanne
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Race: Human

Appearance:
http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj296/xaldin_photos/Zhang_Liao.jpg
Build: Muscular
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 170
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Distinctive Features:
Battle scars all over his body.
Clothes / Armour:

He wears a set of Scale armor made from the enchanted scales of a hydra. The magic in his armor allows him to slowly regenerate any damage he has taken, as well as a resistance to acid and poison. He also has a pair of Battlestrider greaves, which greatly increases his movement speed. Finally, he has a helm of heroes, which makes him immune to fear.

Fighting Style:
He is a pure fighter, utilizing his discipline and skill to fell powerful foes with accurate and timed cuts and thrusts of his glaive.
Weapons:
His weapon is a Glaive of frost. At a mental command, he can coat the blade of it in magic ice, dealing cold damage, and freezing any liquid it touches (to an extent)
Abilities:

As a fighter, he does not use magic, but his skill is such that he doesn't need it. However, he does have a few defensive powers.

Boundless endurance:
Effect: He shakes off the worst of his wounds, healing slightly. Recharges in 3 posts

Unstoppable:
Effect: He lets his adrenaline surge carry him through the battle, increasing his resistance to injury. Lasts 2 posts, recharges in 4.

Defensive training: Stance
Effect: With a soldier's discipline, he fends off attacks that would overcome a lesser person. He has a much higher chance to block attacks while in this stance (stance rules apply. See Gresh)

Shooter's nemesis: Reaction (this power activates as a response to an event)
Trigger: He is hit by a ranged attack
Effect: The fact that his enemy is too cowardly to close to melee swells his confidence and awakens an inner reserve of strength which heals him. Recharges in 2 posts, or if he is hit by another ranged attack (this hit does not activate it)



Attributes:
Lion-heart: He is very courageous
Honorable: He is honorable to a fault, and will not cheat
Melee only: He only uses melee weapons
Battle-happy: He will challenge anyone he deems to be a worth adversary

Biography:
Personality: Honorable, Just, Virtuous, Courageous
Background: At first glance, Brandis is just another soldier. But Brandis is different from the rank-and-file warriors of the warlord he has sworn himself to. His skill is unmatched, and his courage and intelligence is peerless. He fights with a noble bearing, and does not delight in the slaughter, only in the combat. He inspires the men around him with his daring deeds. he seeks out powerful opponents, and enemy officers over the common soldiery, seeking to end battles quickly and with little loss of life. He is, though, always up for a duel, no matter who offers it.

better?

[Salroka]

... no one had any problems with the 40k character, dude... why you feel you must now be the whipping boy of the fight is actually a bit confusing to me. I mean, if I have to, I can lay out some tiers for everyone to keep in mind. I have done so in the past. In fact, I think that sounds like a solid idea.

Tier 1: Basic Humans. Minimally trained. Think a bar fight or back-alley brawl.
Tier 2: Trained Warriors. Skilled and equipped with weapons. Think Samurai or Grunt Soldiers
Tier 3: Elite Fighters. Powerful Characters that have access to high-tech attacks or simple magic.
Tier 4: This is where basic humans rarely tread. At this level, magic and high tech stuff is common
Tier 5: Characters at this level are capable of causing high damage to their surroundings.
Tier 6: Fights between players of this level may damage or destroy most unfortified buildings
Tier 7: Battles between characters may result in a destroyed city or two.
Tier 8: Long-term damage to the planet that is fought upon is not beyond possibility.
Tier 9: Goku, Superman, Galactus, Doomsday, Hulk, Etc.

... that's a basic outline of how power tiers are ranked. At least in everything I've done for the past ten years.

[Cfavano]

it must have been how Jacogos worded it

[Jacogos]

That puts Jacob at high tier 4, Volpes chat at high tier 3, betas at the same as Jacob likely, and... Well I don't know who you're usin anymore cf. pick a character and be done with it. Use FemMercer and I wont complain. Just pick someone and stock to him/her

[Salroka]

He was talking about the two you wanted to use BEFORE the 40k-er.

And yeah, I'd put Kirugetsu at High-4 or Low-5. I COULD play him in a style that would put him as high as Tier 6, but I try not to be a super-asshole with my characters.

[Jacogos]

Aye, what beta said. Your psyker or whatever it's called is fine, just not as far down from The other two as you might think. Also I should menton colpe's character has the possibility to become low tier 5 at any given moment

[Cfavano]

Sure, I'll use FemMercer.

Using Beta's ranking system, she's really only like High 4 or low 5. Just like his character.

[Jacogos]

Anyone got any last words? Throwing this match up as soon as I'm done with this round of Warlords Battlecry

[Cfavano]

Because if you think about it, what makes her dangerous is what happens after the fight, not during it. It's not like like she can cause a rain of acid (no, I am not attacking your character, beta). I think maybe what's confusing is, when you play the games, you feel very empowered. But in a situation like this, you wouldn't feel that so much, because you are fighting other superhumans.

[Salroka]

Sure, I'll use FemMercer.

Using Beta's ranking system, she's really only like High 4 or low 5. Just like his character.

Actually, Mercer is very capable of damaging and destroying unfortified buildings, as shown by how often he levels the breeding buildings and stuff. And given that you have powers from Prototype 2 in addition to those in Prototype 1... Femercer is likely Mid Tier 6. Especially when you factor in the "I eat you and become you" card that you can easily play.

[Cfavano]

I'm not going to do that. Also, she's not actually Alex Mercer. She's just an Evolved.

I would only 'eat you' as a kill move. Like, if you said 'yes, your next attack is going to kill me' or if you were incapacitated. Like if you were jelly-fied. She is not as powerful as the actual Mercer.

[Salroka]

I'll hold you to that. I see BS, I'll call you on it. :3

Addition: Or just up my game and play Kirugetsu to his Tier 6 Fullest. XD

[Cfavano]

all I'm asking is for you to trust me. I will fight fair.

[Salroka]

Never said I wouldn't trust you, home slice.

So. Central Park. Neat.

[Cfavano]

AH HA! I got you! So Femercer is NOT that OP. But yes, I won't do the whole 'i eat you' unless as a finisher. Just like in the game when you fight one of the biggie infected, and Orion Soldier, or another Evlolved.


I'll hold you to that. I see BS, I'll call you on it. :3

Addition: Or just up my game and play Kirugetsu to his Tier 6 Fullest. XD

[Jacogos]

Oh no, she's still OP xD she's just gonna get wailed on, I predict. Working on it now, expect it up within the half hour

[Cfavano]

that's if you can catch her ;)

[Jacogos]

If she plays keep away, we'll just ignore her and fight amongst ourselves xD However, I'm going to go ahead and forewarn anyone that staying out of the fight too long is going to come with repercussions. We're fighting in Central Park, but the Proving Grounds is still the best way to keep things... fair.

[Cfavano]

The roving ground would be better, there's more room.

Unless it is central park which is IN the proving grounds?

[Jacogos]

Well, here's your answer.

Game on, people. (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=47692)

[Cfavano]

I posted. You know, you could have chosen a less cliche fight song XD

[Jacogos]

NAh. Cliche is wonderful.

I'd love to know how she deduced 'freak', 'ninja' and 'religious' just from looking at her opponents xD

[Cfavano]

how they look. The paladin is in shining armor, The ninja is dressed like a ninja, and the shade looks freaky. Alexis is the only one that looks 'normal' right now.

[Jacogos]

I'll let the paladin pass, but I would've guessed ronin Samurai before ninja based on his picture xD Unless Alexis watched a lot of Naruto back in her day lol.

Jacob's gonna be offended slightly xD

[Cfavano]

Well, she doesn't have manners. Wait till he gets punched by her. How far back do you think he'll fly? ;)

[Jacogos]

Depends. Her standard all-out haymaker would probably send him far enough that he could right himself to land correctly, which is impressively far.

[Cfavano]

hurt like hell, though XD

Did you notice something? I left out musclemass.

[Jacogos]

Musclemass?

[Cfavano]

http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100205025360/prototype/images/b/b4/Screen4-1-.jpg

[Jacogos]

Doesn't that kind of go in with her appearance? It doesn't change how strong she is. You already put that down.

[Cfavano]

Musclemass makes him even stronger, in the game. Basically, it's like if he had no power equipped. It just makes his basic punches stronger, and hurled objects do more damage. I figured it was a pretty useless power.

[Jacogos]

Considering she's playing as if she always has it, yeah it's rather useless.

[Cfavano]

She's not playing as if she already has it. Evolved are just that strong. Musclemass just makes them stronger. Although, unlike all the other powers, it has no aoe when it attacks.

[Salroka]

Sorry for the delay, was sleeping. I'm writing a post now.

[Jacogos]

It's fine dude, we all have different schedules xD

[Salroka]

Was my post ok? I hope I didn't do too much.

[Jacogos]

Nah, you're fine. I was hoping at least one of you would ask for proper introductions xD Alexis was far from likely, but I had hopes for you two. Jacob is oh so formal :P

Regardless, volpe's up next, then myself, and then this party's really gonna get amped up.

[Cfavano]

I found better fight theme!

You know mine's more badass. :3

[Cfavano]

no, its not. I couldn't even get past the first few riffs. But if you want a REALLY badass AND catchy tune:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHbYIbleQP8

[Salroka]

Black. Mages. Is. So. Cliche.

[Cfavano]

how so?

And if you think that, then, how's this:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcfJBRCBWKc

[Salroka]

Does my opinion really matter so much?

[Cfavano]

just curious.

[Jacogos]

My Input will come when I get back onto my comp xD

[Jacogos]

Double posting is bad.

CF's first chioce: just because the title fits doesn't mean the song does. Which it doesn't. At all.

Beta: Love me some Disturbed, but again, doesn't fit here xD

Cf's second song: I don't think I really like the Black Mages now. Something's off about their sound that I can't put my finger on. Perhaps the dissonance between the keyboard and power-guitar just doesn't work with their execution. That's all I can think of.

Anyway, I provide songs with Jacob's posts as always, so we'll see if I hit the nail anytime soon.

[Salroka]

Volpe needs to post... I'm getting antsy...

[Cfavano]

me too. and hungry...

[Jacogos]

Volpe isn't on as frequently as us. Gotta give him time *sade nod*

[Cfavano]

Can't I just eat him and be done with it? XD

[Jacogos]

No, because you're very much a human. Humans don't eat people. Normally.

[Cfavano]

Must I cite the many cultures hat do? XD

In fact, one disease is prevalent in a part of the world BECAUSE of cannibalism.

[Salroka]

In the meantime... have some awesome.

[Cfavano]

I didn't really like that series.

Now this is some awesome:

[Salroka]

Does everything have to turn into a competition?

[Jacogos]

I said 'normally' dammit!

EDIT: Oh hey look, Hammerfall.

[Cfavano]

No, I'm just bored.

[Salroka]

EDIT: Oh hey look, Hammerfall.

Love 'em.

[Jacogos]

His voice gets annoying after listening to a bunch of their songs, but otherwise, yes I enjoy them too ^.^

[La Volpe]

Hey look! I posted :D I would have been on yesterday but my cousin who's been serving in the army, who was stationed in South Korea surprised me and my family and stayed the night. Holy crap you guys fill up an occ fast!

[Salroka]

Holy crap you guys fill up an occ fast!

[Cfavano]

can you just post, jaco!

[Salroka]

He did. Herpaderpaderp.

And now, I sleep.

[Jacogos]

Appropriate response was appropriate.

[Cfavano]

Too bad, it's your turn XD

[Jacogos]

Throwing in a few conjugations of the word 'attempt' would make that post a lot less god-mod-appearing.

In any case, points for needless flair xD

[Cfavano]

Well, Most of what happened only happens if that first attempted punch hits.

- - - Updated - - -

But I did not mean for it to sound auto-hitty.

[Salroka]

Luckily I am able to make the auto-hit work AND remain unharmed. Post incoming shortly.

[Cfavano]

it's not an auto-hit! Or not meant to be.

[Salroka]

It was worded like one. But don't worry, I made it awesome. I didn't want to make your post 90% voided and was actually happy to roll with it, as doing so made Kirugetsu look even more badass.

[Cfavano]

I call 'cop out' XD

Oh the world of pain that Kirigetsu is in for will be immense XD

[Salroka]

Hey. Ninja Substitution Jutsu are a legit thing. And don't make threats you can't back up. :3

On that note, how do viruses stand up to acid? Because that's a thing that must be worried about with Kirugetsu. And at least I'm not just attacking one person. Kiru's GREAT for a free-for-all. XD

[Cfavano]

Well, acid is never used as a weapon in the game, but probably like other weapons, not all that well, considering that Evolved can regenerate, and don't have 'skin', 'bones', or 'internal organs' to damage.

Taken from the UK Centre for Living Foods


In the stomach there is a concentration of hydrochloric acid, which is produced by the parietal cells of the stomach lining. The pH of this acid should be between 1.8 and 2.6. This is incredibly acidic; if you got it directly on your skin it would burn. If it weren’t for the presence of a layer of mucous coating the stomach would, essentially digest itself.

The Hydrochloric acid (HCl) serves a number of functions. This bath of acid enables the proteins to be broken down into the individual amino acids so that they can be digested by the enzyme, pepsin.

HCl also serves to kill a number of pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, yeast and fungi. Therefore it is an important defence to stop us getting food poisoning and infections. For example e-coli doesn’t survive below a pH of 3.5.

And there's this...


Hydrochloric acid is a strong type of acid. Concentrated hydrochloric acid has a pH level of 0. However, those found in the stomach has a pH level of 1 to 2.

By the highlighted text and this link (http://i.abimg.net/images/answers/60159/85907/acidbase.jpg?1377131728a), I think FemMercer should be worried when she sees the acid shot that Kiru's clone just fired... hit something and melt it a bit. The acid he uses is based on Hydrochloric Acid, or Stomach Acid. And it states plainly right there that one of the main functions of that acid in the body is to kill viruses. Add in that it's created and augmented by his own energy, see the Ask.com quote.

But no, it won't do much. No way. :3

I picked him for a reason. XD

Don't worry. I won't abuse him too much as long as you don't abuse FemMercer too much.

[Cfavano]

BUT, the Blacklight virus is no ordinary virus. There is no defense against it. Once you come into contact with it, you're infected.

And think about it like this, an Evolved can withstand a shot from a Thermobaric rocket and still be standing. Stomach acid ain't nothing. It's a threat and can harm her, of course, but it's not like holy water to a vampire.

- - - Updated - - -

well, you can nuke it, and that'll kill it, or burn it, but that destroys everything.

[Salroka]

Can a virus defend itself from being dissolved down to its basic proteins by an incredibly caustic substance? Not really. Nor can anything for that matter. Toss ANY organic substance into a vat of acid, it doesn't last long. So what do you think will happen if/when I use the Acid Storm move that Kirugetsu has? It won't be pleasant for anyone, that's for sure. All I know is that while the Blacklight virus can recover from being all but turned into goo... by eating a crow... I'd call absolute bullshit if you were to claim that prolonged exposure to an incredibly strong acid would do a small amount of damage.

There's a difference between being a goo that still contains active DNA or RNA, and being a goo composed of the basic protein strains that USED to be DNA or RNA. Acids cause the second effect.

Perhaps we should wait for J or Volpe's opinions before we keep tittering back and forth about this.

[Cfavano]

I'm not saying it won't be an effective weapon. But first, you have to hit her, and second, she has to be in contact with it long enough. You can't one-shot her.

[Salroka]

Never said I was looking to one-shot anyone.

But alas, that's the last I will say on the subject before Jaco and Volpe chime in with their opinions.

[Cfavano]

Wait, let's step back, and cool down.

I am not trying to discredit you or your character. Nor am I trying to argue with you, or say your attacks will do nothing.

[Salroka]

I apologize if I'm coming across as defensive or angered. I'm not. I actually enjoy a good debate here and there. Trust me when I say I am much more vulgar and impolite if I'm angry with someone.

[Cfavano]

I tend to get in trouble for that too, which I why I just said what I did. My charries are my babies, and may god have mercy on all those who make fun of, or do or say other bad stuff to or about them, for I shall not *stare*

[Salroka]

When people insult MY characters, I just tell them stuff like "While you're allowed to have your opinion, I'll tell you right now that not only does it mean jack shit... but it's also wrong. But by all means, have your opinion."

People tend to not like me when I get snarky like that. LOL

Should try that approach some time. The reactions you get from it are amusing to no end.

[Cfavano]

I might just do that.

[Jacogos]

Under the statues of "this is a battle arena, therefore every character will be treated as killable", I thoroughly agree that acid would be a decisive counter to a being made of pure BIOMASS ( you know, the thing that acid dissolves).

Acid by its very nature rips organic compounds to nothing. sure she can regen, but that regen factor can only heal so long and so fast. Alexis CAN be killed by mundane means just as your character in prototype can. Otherwise she's rigged and will be shut down.

[Cfavano]

I never said she couldn't be killed. I just thought beta meant that kirigetsu could one-shot alexis and that there's no way she could avoid or resist it

[Jacogos]

Dude, I read what he said and I didn't even THINK to question if he meant that. You're overreacting to thus waaaay too much. Alexis should be weak to acid, cause that would make sense. when you think about the rest if her abilities and resistances and LACK of any other weakness whatsoever, then I'm very concerned about why you're so adamantly against giving her this ONE WEAKNESS.

[Cfavano]

That's why I said I THOUGHT that at first, but then I came to realize he didn't mean that. and maybe that is a good idea as long as he doesn't spam that and his hydrification technique.

[Jacogos]

I trust beta to know the limits of his own character. I'm slowly beginning to trust you, but I require further proof of good judgement before completely doing so.

[Salroka]

spam his hydrification technique.

^planned on this. But it's easy enough to stop in an urban setting. Just get inventive. I'd tell you how right now, but I don't know you that well yet. :3

[Cfavano]

except central park isn't really that urban.

[Jacogos]

Central park isn't, but this battle encompasses ALL of the surrounding area as well. There's no invisible wall keeping us inside the park. After you suggested a city, beta suggested the park, which would've been a combination of your city and my own idea for just a plain forest battle.

[Cfavano]

Okay. *drags beta's character to Times Square*

[Salroka]

Not sure what that would accomplish. Also...

VOLPE! Please post!

[Cfavano]

No lakes, ponds, or fountains XD

[Salroka]

It's cute that you think that would stop him from using or MAKING water.

[Cfavano]

Can't make something from nothing XD And I'm pretty sure polluted water would hurt him.

[Jacogos]

By definition, ninja mages (character's from naruto) CAN make something from "nothing" (meaning their own chakra energy)

[Salroka]

Can't make something from nothing XD And I'm pretty sure polluted water would hurt him.


http://youtu.be/nUS4qvsKPOc?t=45s

Kisame isn't a Hozuki, but the first jutsu he uses, at 0:45, "Suiton: Bakusui Shouha" is "Water Style: Exploding Water Shockwave". Kirugetsu has it. Just to give you a good example of some of the stuff he can do.

[Cfavano]

But he's also an S-Ranked ninja and former member of the Mist swordsmen. Kirugetsu is neither of those things XD

The only person ever to really produce water from nothing was the Nidaime Hokage.

[Salroka]

You're daft. All of the following people made water from pure chakra.

Kurotsuchi: Water Trumpet Jutsu.
Kisame: ALL of his shark jutsu could, Exploding Water Shockwave, GREAT Exploding Water Shockwave.
Darui: Water Encampment Wall
Kakuzu: Same as Darui.
Kakashi: Water Wall, Water Dragon, Great Waterfall Jutsu, Water Shark Bullet
Itachi: Water Fang Bullet
Yahiko: Wild Water Wave
Yamato: Waterfall Basin, Tearing Torrent

... Tobirama Senju was just the "strongest water user" of his time. It wasn't his super ability that let him make water out of pure chakra.

Read the descriptions of those jutsu on Narutopedia. Most, if not ALL of them will say that chakra is kneaded and formed into water.

[Jacogos]

Look up nature release. Every single element can be produced from nothing using chakra.

Better yet, here http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Water_Release

First paragraph

[Cfavano]

But they are still using something, and that something has to run out. By that, I mean chakra.

[Jacogos]

It runs out just like alexis's energy/stamina runs out, cf. we all have our limitations. Even your uber. So suck it up and patiently wait for Volpe

[Cfavano]

I have sucked it up! I'm just engaging in a healthy debate.

[Jacogos]

A debate about the fact that ninja mages are masters at pulling shit out their ass? XD

[Cfavano]

Indeed. I've seen more ass-pulling in Naruto than I've seen in any other series, even Gurren Lagann!

[Salroka]

A debate about the fact that ninja mages are masters at pulling shit out their ass? XD

[Jacogos]

I thought we already agreed that this was a Batman thread

*stare*

Besides, we have murder to do, no time for dance numbers.

[Cfavano]

But that's your guy singing, Jaco!

[Jacogos]

I didn't watch the video long enough to figure out who you're talking about, so I'm assuming that's an insult.

XD

[Cfavano]

no.

It's Norman Osbourne aka The Green Goblin

[Jacogos]

That is an insult then!

I'll have you know that Jacob is by FAR a worse father of the two!

[Cfavano]

The Sinister Six also make an appearance.

[Salroka]

I have a question (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLk4Ia0otko).

[Cfavano]

Hey, have you guys heard?

[Salroka]

No one ask!

[Cfavano]

what? It's just a simple question. And you don't know what I'm asking about.

[Jacogos]

Cf, don't try to be cute. It doesn't work with you.

[Cfavano]

I know, I'm too much of a sexy beast to be cute. Women want me, and men want to BE me ;)

[Jacogos]

I genuinely worry about your state of mental health on multiple occasions daily.

[Cfavano]

I fully admit I'm insane, I feel it's better that way.

[Salroka]

Volpe needs to post...

[Cfavano]

Who do you think is the most badass robot ever?

[Jacogos]

Volpe's not on. Doubtful that he'd get on this late, methinks. Possible though. You both know I'll have my post up within the hour when he does.

[Salroka]

He needs to post... that's all I know.

[Salroka]

Apparently, Volpe quit on us.

At least it seems that way.

[Cfavano]

Well, who wants to go get drunk and hit on Kris? XD

[Jacogos]

Volpe hasn't been on for two days, an hour after you posted last.

[La Volpe]

I'd never quit on this. I've had RL troubles as of late, such as almost getting stabbed, so sorry for not posting.

[Salroka]

All you needed to say is "Having RL problems, will post when I can" and we'd have understood.

[Jacogos]

It's fine Volpey, we understand. I'll have a post up when I get home in about an hour and a half. I'll have to review Matthew's abilities to make sure Jacob didn't just disintegrate >.< lol

I should ask, though: your wording if Matt's abilities makes me concerned. How many if them are actually infused with Holy Magic? I've been assuming all of them, but they're worded as if Matthew turns light into pure energy instead if manipulating Holy magic. Clarification, please?

[Salroka]

If he did, that just means I'll have two people to fight at once and be forced to go ham (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=go%20ham) on them.

Come on, CF. Post.

[Salroka]

Come on, people.

[Cfavano]

One question, how will Kumori affect Alexis? She has no insides to speak of, and what about in a 'weapon clash' how will that work?

[Jacogos]

Any and all of Alexis would be phased through by Kumori, no matter what form she's in, because all of her shit is just morphed biomass. There's nothing inherently magical about her that would give Kumori pause. As it stands, we'd have to decide something appropriate for it to actually do because Jacob's never faced a purely-biomass creature before. But you know that doesn't really matter at the moment; Jacob's wielding his katana, not the ninja-to.

[Salroka]

So when is this post coming, CF? I'm waiting to post as well.

[Cfavano]

Probably tomorrow. I've been caught by the 'new game' spell X_X

[Salroka]

Post... you bedpan-licking pile of pigeon excrement!

Yeah, just came up with that one. :3

[Cfavano]

I will when I want to, you cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit.

XD

[Cfavano]

you know I was being funny like you, yes?

[Jacogos]

We know you're sittin' here jackin' off and not postin'. *stare*

[Cfavano]

actually, I'm about to go to bed. I'll post tomorrow after work.

This is the new game I got, by the way.

^A day in the life of CF^

And yes, I felt it funny enough to waste my time making a Spider-Man masturbation gif for that.

[Cfavano]

Actually, I have a job. Unlike you, apparently.

[La Volpe]

With Matthews powers it's a mix of both actually. He absorbs the light around him and uses it to generate holy magic. I guess you could look at it like he uses the light as his mana to use his holy magic.

[Salroka]

http://i.qkme.me/35aveg.jpg

Now if you have the time to joke about my part-time job, you have time to post.

^@CF, not you Volpe. You posted. LOL

[Salroka]

No response to Kirugetsu making Femercer's initial assault absolutely pointless...

[Cfavano]

I missed something. I'll go change it. I'm sorry. this is my first multi-way fight.

[Cfavano]

fixed it.

[Salroka]

It's fine, just kinda made me wonder a little bit.

[Jacogos]

Two things, CF.

Point Number One: I realize that the fire arrow is considered a projectile, but I would like to argue and bring to debate whether it would actually be 'deflected' by a purely biomass-made shield. Stated in my sheet:
The fire washes over its impact point and clings for a moment before quickly dispersing unless there is fuel to burn.

I don't see why it should be deflected at all. I can understand doing little to no damage because of the shield, but not deflected.

Point Number Two is just a blatant "I'm calling out your bullshit". Here is a quote from YOUR character sheet.


Hunter's sense - If she has made contact with what she is fighting or hunting, she can emit a sonar-like pulse which allows her to detect her prey.

Now explain to me WHY her little pulse would in any way affect Jacob, who has never had contact with the woman, AND why it would explain to her that he's using magic?

[Cfavano]

well, there you go.

- - - Updated - - -

well, when you cast a spell, you make a threatening gesture sort of, yes? And seeing as how he looks pretty daemonic.

I never said or specified PHYSICAL contact.

I'll change the fire arrow.

[Salroka]

http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/016/f/3/facewall_by_xdoubleoninjax-d5rpsgt.png

And how does she know he's a ninja? Has she or anyone she's consumed ever fought one? Specifically a Naruto-verse Ninja? My gut says no. So unless Kirugetsu outright says "I'm a Ninja" she'd have to deduce what he was. Right now, it'd be a wise thing to assume he was a mage or warlock, tbh.

[Cfavano]

And if you recall, in Prototype 2, which is where I got that from, Your character never has to have even MET or SEEN the person he's hunting for it to work. It just guides you to them. I am at least specifying that she has to have at least seen or met the people it works on.

[Jacogos]

Now explain to me WHY her little pulse would in any way affect Jacob, who has never had contact with the woman, AND why it would explain to her that he's using magic?

I'm just gonna requote my unanswered question here.

What I'm talking about is what YOUR sheet says. Contact. Assumed to mean PHYSICAL Contact. If you would like it to be otherwise, change it AFTER this battle. Because we're going by what the sheets say NOW.

EDIT: After re-reading your answer again: Okay, then what OTHER sort of contact would you be referring to?

[Cfavano]

I see the point I missed.

He looks Daemonic, and she knows enough about pop culture to know what spellcasting looks like. But, if you don't accept that response, I'll change it so that she looks up and sees him casting, as her reaction time is very high. would that work?

[Jacogos]

Yes I would like to stick as closely to our sheets as possible, so figuring out what exactly you mean by 'contact' would be very beneficial here.

I will also mention that Jacob's style of casting simple projectiles (Fire Arrow, Lightning Bolt, Ice Spike) is simple raising his left hand, palm outward and 'firing'. If you're familiar with Mass Effect, it's what Cerberus Phantoms do with their hand cannons.

[Cfavano]

I only played 3, and didn't like it all that much.

To answer your question: She saw him, and He did do the whole shadow search thing if you REALLY want to stretch it.

And still it's threatening. but if you really don't like it, I can change it to her just seeing him normally.

[Jacogos]

I was just mentioning how he casts, not saying she couldn't take it as threatening *shrugs* I would. Its an unusual maneuver for a swordsman.

The shadows are not a part of who Jacob is, though. At best they are to be treated as if they aren't really there minus any visual cues they give. In any case, none of them got within a few feet of her. If simple sight is all she needs to start tracking someone, then you really need to change the wording on that ability.

[Cfavano]

I'll do that.

[Salroka]

Edits after the fight starts... No me gusta.

[Cfavano]

well, if the GM wants me to change something. and it's not changing it, it's making so it's easier for people who don't think like me to understand it.

[Jacogos]

AFTER the fight, dude. Just remember what we've discussed. I don't like the fact that you can worm around the fact that you didn't mention physical contact, but it stands and I'm not about to argue further.

[La Volpe]

Lots of anger in this thread... I'll just be over here... Being a happy little light wielder..

Yeah...

[Jacogos]

It's fine Volpe xD at least one of us gets to keep their head through thus shindig x3

[Salroka]

So anyways... posts are needed.

[Cfavano]

I made a new character if you wanna look!

[Salroka]

Also, I know advertising in this thread might be improper... but are people still interested in my Naruto x Strider thing?

[La Volpe]

Hey Beta... How high does your attack go? Just curious so I know if I have an actual escape route, or if I have to go for a swim....

[Salroka]

Iunno. In the Anime it looked to be a couple dozen meters high. So my guess is about that.

[La Volpe]

Okay, I'll get my post up tonight at sometime.

---EDIT----

I'm gunna go out on a limb here and say it's day time? So... Yeah, sunlight and stuff. Off I go to get my post up!

[Jacogos]

Probably should've mentioned that. It's assumed midday. People are out and about, though they're probably running away screaming by now. (someone should mention that xD)

[La Volpe]

Got my post up! Off to you Jaco!

[Jacogos]

Wunderbar. I'll work on my post... Hopefully tonight, but we'll have to see.

[Jacogos]

I think my choice of music was fitting in both sound AND title. :D

[La Volpe]

Now we wait to see what Cf does...

[Salroka]

I bet it starts with an M and rhymes with "shame".

Trololol

[Cfavano]

Maim? Yup, and after that comes Kill, and then burn ^_^

[La Volpe]

XD

[Jacogos]

*cough*metagame*cough*

[Jacogos]

Cf, you're on all the time, it shouldn't take this long to post.

[Salroka]

I say we wait another 24 hours, then skip him. XD

What can I say, I'm impatient.

[Cfavano]

whoops, I forgot all about this XD

I'll post after work
