fishers64 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 My new character ideas are classified for the most part. I can say that fishers64 may make an appearance eventually. Still trying to decide between the Uprising fishers and the previous Bionifight fishers incarnations (or something different). Not that I'm wishing for either of my character's deaths. Ismekne's death would be incredibly boring, and A.D's would probably be something out of a bad LOST episode.

Specter Knight Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Alright, Time to join the tournament! (WARNING: WALL OF TEXT) Name: IgnisSpecies: Toa of FirePower/Weapon 1: Piston Halberd (An axe with an extendable handle. Adjusts at the user’s will. Length ranges from 0.5 to 2 Bio in length)Power/Weapon 2: Short sword for close-range combat, mainly used if Piston Halberd is inaccessible.Power/Weapon 3: Elemental powers of fireAppearance: Ignis is Incredibly Tall and well-armoured, with his primary red armour being strengthened with Plates of Bronze and Gunmetal-coloured Protosteel. His body has been physically damaged, but most missing components have been replaced with Machinery, Such as Gears replacing his shoulder muscles and Prosthetic feet for improved mobility.Bio: Once a renowned warrior on one of the southern Isles of the Matoran Universe, It was said that Ignis would slay 1000 foes each battle, and that his fighting skill was unmatched throughout the surrounding Islands. After defending his island from a horde of Visorak, he was spirited toward The Arena, and is now seeking challengers to fight.Personality/Other: Ignis is very arrogant, and constantly brags about his strength. In battle, he will let nothing get in the way of his target, but he tends to charge right into battle without a second thought of a consequence. His favourite past-time when not fighting is sharpening his skills in the Training sector or signing autographs for fans. There weren't as many limits in this as the standard BZPRPG, So I just kind of went overboard. Basically this guy's a Steampunk Semi-organic robot Lu Bu.I might put up an Image of what this guy looks like, But I think I'll do that If i get approved. I hope I didn't make this guy too overpowered... Edited March 7, 2015 by Daronus (I'll do this eventually, I swear...)

Specter Knight Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Yeah, I might need to Nerf the size of the halberd so It's more reasonable. Let's see... It changes from Hand-axe to a 2-handed axe at will? Maybe half the max length? I dunno. (I'll do this eventually, I swear...)

Drakua Toa of Rahi Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Yeah, I might need to Nerf the size of the halberd so It's more reasonable. Let's see... It changes from Hand-axe to a 2-handed axe at will? Maybe half the max length? I dunno.The length of the sword in its current form appears to be the height of a three-story building. Maybe make it 5-7 feet at max-length, unless Ignis is twice the size of a regular toa like Takanuva was that one time. *Click Banner to go to the Sikza Spriting Kit topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chro Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I would approve that profile, under the assumption that an axe that long would be more of a burden than a boon... but I think you should probably want to edit it to something more reasonable first? save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otter Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 All these people calling a halberd an axe (or sword, in one case?) are gonna make me cry ;_; *Snaps fingers* A halberd is a type of battle axe or pole axe, though, so it counts. Sword, no, but axe? Yes. Considering how the primary weapon of a halberd (that made it a halberd, rather than a pole-mounted warhammer or some other type of weapon) was the axe blade. profiles i guess i'm a south american giant otter now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otter Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) No, some of them had spear points. Some horseman's axes were of the same head-type as halberds, as well, and were still axes. Just because the axe has a spear point doesn't make it not an axe, it's just an extra part to use. Or would you say bardiches and lochabers aren't axes? Because you'd be wrong.

Burnmad Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'm simply saying that, for most, the word "axe" evokes a mental image of a fire axe or a battleaxe. It's just really unspecific, especially when a halberd is so far removed from this mental image. It's like referring to longswords, greatswords, foils and katana all as "swords". In the same way, bardiches are best referred to as glaives, and lochabers are best subsumed under halberds, rather than calling them both axes. *Snaps fingers* Avatar by Brickeens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
