Speaking as someone who went through trauma, that's actually unrealistic. You're right. Exxan wouldn't. But I bloody well would. OOC, I'm getting very frustrated with Dane for continually sending his characters after Exxan and expecting there to be no consequences, even after what happened to Omega. Once Recoil started acting exactly like Omega, I started to wonder if he actually cares about any of his characters at all. So yes, if Hoto, Rail and Kat hadn't been there to stop him, I might have made Exxan kill Recoil as well. But I probably would have settled for destroying her armour and weapons and leaving her to fend for herself.

Click Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I guess that's the advantage of having all of your characters know each other. If one dies, you can send the others for revenge. Not that you should, of course, especially like this. I'm just glad Hoto was there.

Click Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hoto's starting to turn into a pacifist... which is not a good thing for a blind Rahkshi. Not only can she not see, but she can't fight, and it's not going to help her self esteem. I'm starting to get sick of all these nice and pacifistic characters. I think I've got enough time to do one more. Plus, when you start thinking of having page-long conversations just between your characters to pass the time, you might need another character too... not that I've considered it... And ironically, now that I'm back in school, I think I have some time to do some more character art. I've already started one that I'm liking.

Nato G Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 OOC: Then how does Poly channel his power into a rhotuka? Because each creature with a Rhotuka launcher creates their own unique spinner power. The powers of these Rhotuka are derived from that character's morals, ethics and affinities. So it makes sense that Poly can make Rhotuka that have his Rahkshi power. Era would be good to ask too. Currently in the library doing... not much of anything...

Click Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) New profile time! We've got a few musical Rahkshi, but no artsy ones (I didn't even think of Squid's room when writing this, but now you have a helper). I don't think anyone has a Rahkshi of Weather Control either. Darn it Dane!Name: Rain Variation: Weather Control Level: 4 Gender: Female Gear: With her staff lost on Visorak, Rain has replaced it with a crude double-tipped halberd far below her previous one in beauty. She also likes to keep around a bag of odds and ends such as brushes and paint, snacks, and small daggers.In the raid on Phantom-On-The-Water, Rain acquired a cabasa known as The Percussor. Striking with it amplifies her blow with a sonic boom, while twisting the beads along the drum will unleash destructive sound waves. Appearance: With the loss of her old armor, Rain painted herself in a nearly exact duplicate of the old: a gradient going from a wispy silvery-white near her spines to a sky blue along her back and head that fades into the pale gold typical of her variation. The gold is filled in with various intricate patterns that she adds to in her free time. The suit she now wears is shorter and thicker than her old one, and she tries to compensate through clever usage of color and shading. Personality: Rain is, in a word, a sociopath. She has little to no regard for the feelings and lives of others, including her fellow students. She enjoys fighting, but even the smallest excuse like scratched paint can be enough of a reason to kill her opponent. Her only other interest is art, something she takes to fanatical levels. Those that do not appreciate her art, or Makuta forbid, criticize it, are worse than worthless in her eyes.Rain has a habit of assigning nicknames to anyone she meets which will stick long after she learns their real names. For example, "Fins" is Shark. For full list, see this document. Bio: Rain was hatched to one of the more artistic Makuta. Her mother spent her days designing propaganda posters for the Brotherhood, a hobby Rain took to nicely. Her art soon turned away from the power of the Makuta and more towards the power of nature, particularly water after observing her first rain storm. Rain did everything she could to please her dear “Mommy,” and that included becoming the most vicious and efficient Rahkshi her Makuta had ever produced, something her strange sister Lucid couldn’t quite manage. Rain always considered herself the favorite. For the full bio, see this document.Also seems like a good chance to mention that Root and Vlad (at least) didn't make it to the first post.

Khromatose Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) It's mostly Toxin. Stronghold still gets hit. That pretty much explains which character I like better. And most of this battling stuff is from mostly from the way I would actually fight, considering if I was a ninja, or a boxer, or an archer. When I see a spearman charging at me, I would vault over and try to slash at weak points, if any, from behind. I think a surprise net at this moment would actually trap me, though. Just saying.

I'm trying my best to play fair, but it's hard fighting agaisnt two characters with unrealistic ninja skills. It's mostly Toxin. Stronghold still gets hit. That pretty much explains which character I like better. No, it just shows that you're using the character who's harder to hurt to make it seem like you're playing fairly. I'm not in the fight, so I'm trying to be a neutral third party here, but I can't help but notice the many times you've said 'unknowingly, [character] avoided the blow] It kind of ruins the whole point of me trying to trap these guys if they magically autododge.

Khromatose Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 As I said, a surprise net from Illusive can pretty much trap him now since Toxin is in midair.

In Between the Shadows Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 New profile time! We've got a few musical Rahkshi, but no artsy ones (I didn't even think of Squid's room when writing this, but now you have a helper). I don't think anyone has a Rahkshi of Weather Control either. Name: RainVariation: Weather ControlLevel: 2Gender: FemaleGear: Her normal Rahkshi staff, which looks somewhat like a stylized dual-tipped halberd. She also likes to keep around a bag of odds and ends such as brushes and paint, snacks, and small daggers.Appearance: She's painted herself with a gradient going from a wispy silvery-white near her spines to a sky blue along her back and head that fades into the pale gold typical of her variation. The gold is filled in with various intricate patterns that she adds to in her free time. Fairly tall and slender, reasonably attractive for a Rahkshi (until she opens her mouth).Personality: Belligerent, outspoken, and blunt in everything she says, which tends to get her into fights. Not that she means to, she's just very curious and boisterous, but can't quite express it how she wants to. And she also happens to be slightly clumsy, but she is always striving to be on top and in control, so she usually blames it on others. Which leads to more fighting. At least it has taught her to defend herself reasonably well. The one thing that has managed to hold her short attention span is art, and she loves to sit back and paint on just about anything she can get a hold of. Her policy towards others is "If they can tolerate me, I'll do my best to tolerate them, but no promises."Bio: Nothing special here. Just been lingering around the Academy causing trouble.

Sergei Rahkmaninoff Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Should I say he had psychic ability to know that the blow was there? My characters don't know that they're getting teamed on. And much less the fact that things are being swung at them from behind. You should say they were hit. Realism is an important thing in these games, but as you just said, they don't know. The number of times they've dodged accidentally is too much to be luck. You don't have to win the fight you know. Just as much character development, maybe more, can come from losing. Maybe accept that and let a few of these blows actually hit and injure significantly your characters. In the end everything will work out, unless the twins go all Exxan on you and the brothers die , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I never win a fight (except for that one with Root), and look how much development my characters have had!

The only win was against Siren, if I recall, and I didn't do the finishing blow on that either, so I don't think that counts as a win. So I pretty much lost in all my fights in general.

Nato G Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) The Twins train extensively to operate as a cohesive team. Their powers compliment each other: disorient and distract. They each specialise in a different sort of tactic: mid-range and close-quarters. I've put a lot of effort into making them work well together in fights and it's getting rather annoying when their opponents seem to evade everything through sheer dumb luck. Unknowingly dodging a blow once is possible. Twice is unrealistic. Consistently is just plain annoying. (and I won't be killing anyone else.
