[Nato G]

I think you're missing the point. 

[Sassy Dalmation]

What exactly is the point? The wall would stop Subject from teleporting, he would not be able to will it away when Draco focuses on keeping it, and the riots most likely would not happen. All in all, the wall is a logical move, one that would not make Draco seem incompetent.

[Nato G]

I'm just going to disregard that flawed logic for the moment and focus on answering the actual question.

 

You're asking me to make my character stop thinking your character is stupid, yet your character is continually making decisions that, to her, seem incredibly questionable, if not outright dumb.

 

That's the point I'm trying to make. You're asking me, as the writer, to make my character do something that would be completely out of character for her to do, without providing any incentive or justification as to why she should do it. 

[Sassy Dalmation]

I get that Sliver thinks that Draco is incompetent, not asking you to change that. After all, every character perceives another differently. I'm just questioning why Sliver thinks that blocking off the exit so Subject would not be able to escape is a stupid move, when in reality it's a fairly logical move (perhaps not the best, but it would work, I think(unless I'm being an idiot and overlooking a major factor)).

 

Again, I apologize if I am coming across as angry. I've had a rough day...

[Ghidora131]

Akai, in other circumstances, it would be completely logical.

 

But we have a massive, OP Makuta standing right there. Subject isn't going anywhere.

[Sassy Dalmation]

True, although Icarax might just want the Loyalists to recapture Subject if he runs rather than doing it himself. That's what it seems like to me, at least, what with him asking what defenses the Loyalists had in place to prevent his escape.

[The UltimoScorp]

One way mirror, guys... Seriously no need for the box to even be opened.

[Ghidora131]

If it is opened by Subject, Grim can just hit him upside the head again.

[The UltimoScorp]

Grim is hardly in any condition to smack anyone upside anything.

 

 

I mean, that wouldn't stop him, if ordered, but...

I just wanted to mention this, for future reference:
 

IC: Jitters

... A Rahkshi, speeding around the corner, neglected to notice Jitters rock of a turtle until it was too late. Jitters stepped to the side as the other Rahkshi helped himself to the floor.

 
This is what is known as an autohit. It involves making an attack and writing the opponent's response to it without giving their writer a chance to react. Of course, it's just a minor one and Ghidora went along with it, but that's why I'm telling you now, so it isn't repeated more in more serious circumstances in the future.
 
Of course, it would be perfectly fine for the turtle to be placed in Doubt's path. It would be fine if you said, "At the speed Doubt was travelling, it was unlikely he would see/avoid the turtle in time." It's just when you write out that Doubt did not see the turtle and that he hit it and fell to the floor that there is a problem.

Try something like this:

IC: Jitters

... A Rahkshi, speeding around the corner at a reckless speed, unlikely to notice the small turtle in his path. Jitters stepped to the side in anticipation of the Rahkshi meeting floor.

 

 

In other news,

And only a fraction of life at Corpus. If you want a far more extensive timeline, have at look at Click's here. It's currently outdated by about a month, but even so it remains the best guide to date.

 

I should update this...

[Timageness]

the last time someone closed off the gym like this, it started a riot that killed two students.

[Kovika: Visorak Lord]

Update: Going away on a camping trip until Saturday. I should be getting back to posting more frequently when I return. Good evening and I hope to actually make a new character when I get back. (Unlikely since I spoke with John about a making two new characters and never got around to it, but I will still state it nonetheless.)

[Timageness]

*glares accusingly*

Says the guy whose character's very one-sided fight with Vaalku was the entire reason the wall was created in the first place.

Edited July 29, 2015 by Timageness

[Nato G]

It wasn't particularly one-sided, considering Vaalku's inexplicable ability to continue standing, walking and kicking even after being hamstringed, or the fact that he autohit-kicked Xara through that very wall. 

[Toa Cykron]

2nd Character!

 

Name: Bolt

 

Variation: Rahkshi of Electricity

 

Level: 2

 

Gender: Male

 

Gear: Although preferring to use his bare hands in most situations, Bolt carries a longsword that he can channel his electricity through to engage in melee and ranged combat.

 

Appearance: Blue and White armor. Sharp, tall spine crest. Blue eyes. Image is important to Bolt, and his well-maintained armored body is evidence of that.

 

Personality: A literal force-of-nature: Bolt is fast, flashy, and feels the urge to remind others of how powerful he is through both his actions and speech (mostly speech). Bolt addresses most problems with directness, a unique brand of self-assured carelessness that makes almost every fight seem like a unnecessary gamble with his life for the sake of showing off. Teamwork is a concept that he interprets as "my own personal backup squad" which only serves as a safety net if he finds that he can't handle an enemy on his own. Beneath his brash exterior, however, Bolt masks insecurities about his abilities and harbors a fear of failure that he has decided to compensate for by making himself appear impressive in the minds of others to help ease his own.

 

Biography: As a Kraata of Electricity, Bolt has the ability to generate painful electrical sparks that add to the sting of the lightning-fast blows he employs in combat. The Makuta enrolled him in Corpus Rahkshi to aid in the development of his unique fighting style and potentially break him of his poor teamwork. Bolt sees the school as an opportunity to dazzle a captive audience with his "shocking" abilities.

[Smudge8]

I'm confused, why is Rider saying Raptor is back?

[Click]

Well, because he is... sort of. Blitz stumbled upon Raptor's room, and then, for reasons unknown to us, Aerixx had him repaint himself into a guise of Raptor. And then promptly lose his memories. In his search for identity, "Raptor" searched out Rider, sending him into a panic.

[Ghidora131]

Finally reached post 20 for Sunshine.

[Smudge8]

Ok, thanks. I was wondering if he thought Revenge was Raptor or something.

[Nato G]

...for reasons unknown to us, Aerixx had him repaint himself into a guise of Raptor. 

 

What do you mean, reasons unknown? He did it to troll us. 

[In Between the Shadows]

The Vlad vs Illusive battle is probably the best one so far... in my opinion that is

[Nato G]

I think it's definitely going to go down in the annals of Corpus history as one of the big ones. 

[Sergei Rahkmaninoff]

Agreed! The duality of light and shadow, the epic ice arena, and intense fighting all really make it one of the most dramatically memorable duels so far, alongside my other personal favorites of the Phantom battle, Shark vs Cao, and Shark vs Kat.

[Naota Takizawa]

Icaracx should be impressed.

[Nato G]

I doubt it. 

 

If Icarax knew why this fight was happening, he'd just disintegrate Vlad on the spot and the fight would be over. And then he'd probably have Illusive punished for not having dealt with Vlad himself. 

[Ghidora131]

The leverage provided by my current position, plus the addition of my own body weight, combined with the minimal distance between us and him only having one hand on my staff all meant that his chances of evading this strike were slim.

Uh, I don't think so.

 

All he has to do is reposition his footing and he's back in the same hold he had. Ice, remember? if not, he could just push back and slide away from the attack.

[Nato G]

All he has to do is reposition his footing and he's back in the same hold he had. Ice, remember? if not, he could just push back and slide away from the attack.

 

Um, not really, no.

 

Vlad is currently lower to the ground, one hand still grabbing Illusive's ankle, the other one reaching across his own body to grab Serpent-Fang. With the full weight of a rahkshi bearing down on him, in order to reposition his footing or push backwards he would first have to move upwards - closer to the blade that is very swiftly stabbing down at him from an already very close distance. 

 

At that range, I don't see how he's going to have enough time to do all of that without the blade reaching him first. 

[In Between the Shadows]

Agreed! The duality of light and shadow, the epic ice arena, and intense fighting all really make it one of the most dramatically memorable duels so far, alongside my other personal favorites of the Phantom battle, Shark vs Cao, and Shark vs Kat.

 

...

Sergei, all of your characters are in them. You know what that means...

[Nato G]

Something something favourtism. 

[Naota Takizawa]

Something something favourtism.

 

Something something level up Shark.

[Nato G]

Shark's scary enough. What's scarier is the way Vlad is turning into Shark.

 

Jayar will surely be next...

[Naota Takizawa]

Shark's scary enough. What's scarier is the way Vlad is turning into Shark.

 

Jayar will surely be next...

Imagine Jayar betraying the rebels and either killing them by himself or turning them over to the Makuta.

[Nato G]

Um... I didn't mean personality-wise.

 

I meant the spectacular think-outside-the-box-and-have-an-answer-to-absolutely-everything fighting style. 

[In Between the Shadows]

Sergei is creative with his fighting

[Khromatose]

Agreed! The duality of light and shadow, the epic ice arena, and intense fighting all really make it one of the most dramatically memorable duels so far, alongside my other personal favorites of the Phantom battle, Shark vs Cao, and Shark vs Kat.

 

And long ago, you wanted Vlad to have the most awkward fight.

[Sergei Rahkmaninoff]

I still don't see why having my characters be creative fighters is a problem. That's just how I know how to fight.

 

Imagine Jayar betraying the rebels and either killing them by himself or turning them over to the Makuta.

While you're at it, imagine also Icarax painting pretty rainbows all over the school while Palma holds a fighting tournament in the Infirmary. Then Shark becomes an opera singer, Era attains world renown as a painter, and Phogen gives up her schemes and plots to join a monastery as a nun under a vow of silence.

[Nato G]

Era attains world renown as a painter

 

I'm going to make this happen now, just to spite you.

Is it wrong that I actually imagined this?

[Nik the Three]

My Rahkshi is talking with two other Rahkshi and they both agreed to go with my Rahkshi somewhere. Is it ok to (how to say it?) move them to place I am going to? Or should I wait for their own posts about going there? I think that it's kind of unnecessary in my case.
