Power/Weapon 3: The Hustler - A small device on Sanskrit's belt allows her to force people to dance in a 10 ft radius around her for about a minute. This power affects the body, not the mind, contorting and loosening limbs to some unheard beat. The device is capable of playing music, but Sanskrit rarely does this.

Oh wow...Dreidel would love this.
It's one of those powers in Chima Online that I never got to use.

This character isn't a replacement for fishers. :P (Although I think there might be some wonkiness with that Matoran's death, she's still very dead, as per the rule of insane characters. Time to move on. )

 

I do want to see this character's powers in the arena at some point. :shrugs: Think Guardians of the Galaxy for the arrow, only I think Sanskrit's is probably bigger. And she isn't insane.

 

Name: Sanskrit

Gender: Female, surprisingly enough

Species: Great Being, with implants

Power/Weapon 1: A single large lightweight metal arrow, which can be controlled via telekinesis to stab through her opponent, then turn around and stab again. Does not cut through thick armor, sheilds, or blades without Sanskrit expriencing severe mental strain.

 

Power/Weapon 2: Kanohi Extrenix, the Mask of No Escape - a Kanohi that allows the user to extend someone's life beyond the point in which they would have died. This can be used to invoke additional pain and suffering on the victim, or to keep them alive for just a bit longer to rush the being in question to medical care. This power cannot be used on Sanskrit herself, for obvious reasons, and damage to the mask will not affect Sanskrit's conciousness or alertness directly (but if her head is smashed in, she's out anyway).

 

Power/Weapon 3: The Hustler - A small device on Sanskrit's belt allows her to force people to dance in a 10 ft radius around her for about a minute. This power affects the body, not the mind, contorting and loosening limbs to some unheard beat. The device is capable of playing music, but Sanskrit rarely does this.

 

Bio: Sanskrit is one of the few people who wasn't forcibly teleported to Bionifight - she teleported herself, using a one-use teleportation device that is now dead unless she makes it back home again. For many years, the Great Being has been monitoring the great disturbance in the force of death caused by the Bionifight tournaments. This time, however, the disturbance has grown greater and more disturbing, and the Great Being has come to investigate the cause of the anomaly within the anomaly.

 

She also was summoned for one of the Bionfight tournaments in her much younger days. She has not been summoned since, until now, although she still has functioning Infinite System chips.

 

Appearance: Sanskrit is short, for a Great Being, about Matoran height. She wears a black cloak that covers most of her features, but wears very little armor underneath, something her enemies might take advantage of. The Mask of Extrenix appears like the Kanohi Ignika, but instead of a vitruvian man, two chain-resembling bumps cross the Mask in an X shape. The eyeholes are square instead of angled.

 

Personality/Other: Sanskrit is a quiet and unassuming type, and is focused on her mission. Because she is in the middle of the crazy analomaly that is Bionifight, her death sense powers no longer work. Not that she would find them any good anyway.

 

Sanskrit is also a pacifist that would prefer to avoid a fight, although she would do so to protect herself from getting hurt. She still has an attachment to her old Bionifight days, but she thinks those days are likely over.

 

Not approved. First, the bio is incorrect - as we have said before, all fighters are teleported into Bionifight against their will. They do not choose the time, or the place, or the circumstances; they have no choice at all in the matter.

 

Second, the first power is both a power and a weapon - and this is where you have the unfortunate honor of being the first player to go through our renewed profile approvals. This slot could be telekinesis or the arrow, but it cannot be both.

 

Third, the third power is waaay overpowered. It's a blatant auto-hit on every single character within the vicinity; that is specifically reserved for the Ultimate Weapons, and even then, none of them can be used outside of the arena. 

 

 

 

 

 

Mech!

 

Mech Name : MACCHA GEAR REX

Pilot Name : Maccha Yellow!

Power/Weapon 1 : Super Durability! Rex is ridiculously tough, having defeated building sized baddies by the dozen with nary a scratch to it's paint job! Exact data regarding materials and construction is hard to come by, but recorded feats include surviving a lava diving trip, protecting his pilot from the mental assault of Tren Krom [note: CGI], shrugging off the assault of a Heavy Laser class BETA and catching the bone-sword of Nyarlathotep betwixt it's teeth!

[note from the prop design specialist : Claims of feats above may or may not represent real world battle usage. Reliable data states that Rex possesses composite plate and ceramic armor that defends well against energy and projectile attacks, but is not extraordinarily strong in melee combat]

Power/Weapon 2 : Bestial Strength! Rex is exactly as strong as one would expect a gigantic theropod in power armor to be. That is, quite strong!

Power/Weapon 3 : Emergency Situation Operation Mode : Berserk. When it's pilot is in sufficient danger, the beast within Rex awakens. The closed and seemingly faux jaws screech as metal plating is torn open to reveal a steaming, gaping maw, from which escape terrifying bellows and the ear piercing skreigh that warns of great and unstoppable physical violence. Muscles bulge beneath straining metal and bending restraints, and any semblance of the hero's control over this ancient beast is lost. Strength and speed are increased at the cost of higher thought, tactics and strategy. Recovery from this form is quite difficult, requiring a titanic effort from the pilot. Out of the five episodes in which Rex has gone berserk, only once has it been quelled without sedatives or further violence, and this was after it had quite gruesomely consumed it's seraphic foe

[note from the series realism specialist : Claims of feats in berserk mode are again, exaggerated for the audience's enjoyment. In actuality mode, strength, speed and pain tolerance are increased due to mass influxes of adrenaline, but the actual durability of Rex does not change. It simply means that a decisively fatal blow is needed to subdue it, rather than being cowed by pain or fear]

Appearance : Rex resembles it's namesake, appearing as a gigantic and anthropomorphized tyrannosaurus rex. Meaning it has a more upright, bipedal posture, longer and more functional arms and tail and a beefier upper body. The paint job is deep gold and violet , resembling nothing much more so than the explosions and smoke generated by it's pilot's attacks. The overall design is smooth and sleek, it's face composed of smooth metal, with a jaw evident only via stylized teeth present in the paint job. The eyes gleam an even deeper shade of gold during normal operation

Other : Sensors connect the pilot's aural senses, giving them a shared sense of sight, hearing, smell, touch balance and, the occasional and greatly distressing, sense of taste

 

 

Tried some clarification. It's armor is basically real world equivalent to some type of kevlar/ceramic mixup. Good at dispersing heat, electrical charges and reasonably capable of taking a few bullets, but not miracle armor. It's durability against basic crushing or stabbing attacks is "average" for mechs. Power three is similar to Hound's enhanced physical capabilities, but not as versatile. And as we've seen, he can die.

So, to put my thoughts here as well...

 

I think going through all of the existing profiles (which number well over a hundred, even if we count just the active ones) is a herculean task. And one that, truth be told, would anger more people than it would appease. Power creep is a thing, and while it would have been nice to keep everything on the level of the early profile, that didn't really work out. And the number of characters above that level is a lot higher than that of those below it.

 

Bringing all the post-power creep characters back down is more or less working in reverse, by trying to bring the larger pile over to the smaller one. In my opinion, it would make more sense (and be a lot more efficient) to set a rough standard from this point out, and bring anyone who has characters below that point up to spec. I mean, a lot of people seem to be perfectly fine with where they are; fixing the ones that aren't and just watching for further creep in the future seems an easier plan that trying to bring all the new ones back down.

 

Plus it'll tick a lot fewer players off. :P

It isn't a strict timeline; it never is. Nor is establishing a threshold about pointing to one standard and saying "This. This is the point no one should exceed." It's about examining the relative power levels of a character, and seeing where they fall compared to others.

Power creep started about the time infinite profiles were opened up. Just compare a profile like Tarsus ; http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/17209-bionifight-infinite-discussion/page-2?do=findComment&comment=857239 to later profiles. But that isn't what's important.

 

EDIT ninja

 

So what you're saying is that we should limit everyone to two profiles again? :P

 

(btw before anybody misinterprets that, no, it's not happening, it was a joke, please relax)

Hey fishers, just to check here, but you know that Turbo Vixen is supposed to be the city Slizer right? I don't want to sound patronising but they are before a few people's time. In retrospect I possibly should have put an image like that in her profile...

Grabbing her from behind like that...its really not going to work. Because trying anything from behind her just means you're going for those prong-arms she's got. To get her chest and stomach you'd have to grab her from above, and if you did that then you might as well just grab her sides and hoist her up that way. Which is what she's been trying to suggest A.D. actually do

Yeah, Tarsus is kind of a dinosaur compared to some of the characters that have been popping up recently. :P

The MOC I did of him looks pretty sweet, though. I should really get around to posting it someday.

Not to be sounding ungrateful or anything, but these so-called "special weapons" are proving to be quite.... underwhelming. We were expecting game-changing bunker-busters that could be used to turn the tide of battle in a particular team's favour.

 

Instead we got personal power-ups that only work on whoever picks them up first.

 

Considering that this is supposed to be a team battle, I've got to confess I'm somewhat disappointed.

I think while everything is beginning and only one team is even at the spawn point, it'll be weapons of a lower damage class. You give one team the power to annihilate a vast area at this stage in the game and both of the other teams will be wiped out within moments (likewise any later rounds when the weapons are useable again). There'd be no round. When everything gets more hectic and heated, then we'll start seeing some of the really nasty weapons I'll bet

It's a jungle, those trees are not going to start burning any time soon.

 

My thoughts exactly. 

 

I think the cannons, Exo-Toa armor, and Tanks will arrive later, when we have actual combat. Right now everyone is hanging out in their fortress somewhere or is sitting on the special weapons spawn waiting for the magic weapon of doom to appear.

 

The whole point of Blindside taking the special weapons spawn was to force the other teams to move against them. 

 

Clearly, that part of the plan is a bust.

I understand this, but it really feels like Blindside is being punished for taking the initiative and getting in there first. 

 

"Congratulations! You came up with a strategy, assembled a team and took over the middle of the map. In return, you get sub-par weapons while the guys hiding out in their fortresses will be able to get the good stuff later on."

IC(A.D.): The dragon turned his head to watch the cliffs. He sped away (using his weapon) as soon as he saw the incoming shadow blades, leaving all of the attacks and attackers far behind him. 

 

So, as much as I hate being "that guy", what A.D is doing here just isn't possible.

 

Not only is it highly unlikely that A.D would've been able to turn around in time to spot and avoid all of the attacks that were launched at him from the clifftop, it doesn't really matter, because his feet are stuck:

 

IC Hryfon - Arma Virique - Cove Border

Ah, now or never. The possibility that the being up on the cliff was stringing him along like a master puppeteer crossed his mind, he could easily find himself a pincushion just as easily as the dragon... But, wars were won on such gambles! Emerging from his rocky cover, he began to advance on the beast, making sure to put himself behind or to the side of where it's attention was likely held.

 

Once in range, he activated his powers, constructing a field of binding energy between it's feet and the ground and lunging forward to stab at it's right flank.

 

Since his feet are currently bound to the ground, A.D isn't going to be able to pull himself free in time to avoid Hryfon or anyone else's attacks - special weapon or no special weapon.

Name: Kairan
Species: Toa of Lightning
Power/Weapon 1: Electricity
Power/Weapon 2: Kualsi - Mask of Quick Travel
Power/Weapon 3: Protosteel Longsword - has a blue tinted crossguard in the shape of a tuning fork, and a normal style handle that ends in what looked like a decorative wolf. It is collapsible, and can shift from a shortsword to a longsword with the push of a button.
Appearance: Kairan is oddly coloured for a Toa of Lightning; wearing dark green armour and black 'clothing', he is about the opposite anyone could get from a normal Toa of Lightning. His mask is equally different, and more resembles a stylized Great Huna.
Bio: Kairan is an interesting Toa, as he has been involved in numerous crises in the past. He was a part of the Day Run incident, but specific details other than that have been lost to time. It is said he was at one point captured, before this, however.
Personality/Other: Kairan is a male Toa of Lightning. He seems to tend to be overly protective of his friends, however, he can mask a hidden darkness within him when he wants.

He was out of there long before that happened. The shadow bolts were launched long before that attack was even tried. If the shadow bolts and all of the other attacks previous to it hit, A.D. would have been dead. That post is invalid. 

 

A previous draft of that post had him just leave without spotting anything, since that character wants out of there. I can have him speed out of the way of the other attacks and get hit by that one and stop, if that would be more acceptable. But pinning him to the ground while moving at high-speed is a straight-up autohit...

Lemme just step right in and say a thing.

You dodged every single solitary attack that was launched at AD. Not only that, but he has been using the Usain Bolt quite a bit, yet he's experienced no mental or physical strain. I'd say that's very solidly godmoddy right there, but I'm not officially staff.

Yet.

Name: Taurus

Species: Steltian Elite

Power/Weapon 1: a rhotuka spinner, which will cause a drowsing effect, causing the target to be lethargic.

Power/Weapon 2: a broadsword with objects resembling teeth running along the edges.

Power/Weapon 3: extra armor plating, which not only protects him, but a complex life support system which he uses to move, breathe, and fight.

Appearance: A tall but slightly hunchbacked figure, he has striking ice-blue eyes, and black armor. The armor is especially thick around the shoulders. He has what appears to be small, metallic horns on his head, but they are hollow, releasing the air he breathes out. Ramming somebody with them would most likely  leave him gasping for air.

Bio: Taurus was an elite working with Sidorak. When Sidorak claimed that he had completed an assassination atempt, when in actuality it was Taurus, Taurus argued. Before this matter could be settled, Sidorak sent him on a dangerous mission: Hunt and capture a dangerous group of mercenaries. All the other squad members were killed, leaving Taurus paralyzed and dying due to a lack of sufficient air. The Shadowed One found him, and recruited him into the Dark Hunters in exchange for a wearable life support system. Taurus was on a hunt for Sidorak when he was teleported to Bionifight.

Personality/Other: As a Steltian Elite, he naturally thinks himself higher than many other species, although he has gotten used to being around many other species who are at least as powerful as him. This expierience has humbled him somewhat. Raurus does not joke around, and everything he does is for a reason. He is also male.

That's... not quite how it works. Post order is not attack order. Here's how I see it:

 

1. A.D. charges towards the cliffs at full speed.

2. Miras spots him, and brings him down using gravity.

3. Hryfon notices A.D. and asks if he can engage, Puppetmaster gives permission. Hryfon begins to move in.

4. A.D. turns the dive into a charge to the water.

5. Miras cuts the gravity and fires shadow bolts. Meanwhile, Elittra fires lighting arrows.

 

Admittedly, these two attacks could be easier to dodge, since the sudden change in direction and speed could have thrown them off. It's the next part that gets tricky...

 

6. A.D. hits the water, changes direction, and then cuts the speed as he bursts from the surface.

7. Tirkah is watching from above, and fires immediately as A.D. breaks the surface. Meanwhile, Hryfon has closed the distance and uses his binding to keep A.D. in place for his spear thrust.

 

So at least those two attacks feasibly should have hit. A.D. was bound to the ground and not moving at super speed. Even a burst of fire couldn't counter the spear being thrust into his side.

I really feel like Hryfon should get some credit for that K.O, considering he'd just impaled A.D, and it was because of him that the dragon was stuck to the ground as an easy target for Tirkah in the first place.

not to mention blocking an anti-dragon spear as a dragon is iffy in and of itself 

 

Especially since said dragon's feet were bound to the ground, meaning he couldn't have blocked anything. :D
