We all know my preference for "Higher Power the Better."

So upper low tier, maybe even intermediate.

[Doc Doctor]

@LeeRoy

In that case, I'll use Suliss. Is he strong enough as he is? If not, I could give him a copy if the ol' Vermis Mysteriis and then he'll be able to summon all sorts of nasties. Perhaps he can even call forth a certain slimy people eater.

Suliss the Thief

Name: Suliss the Thief
Age: Unknown
Height: Unknown
Weight: Unknown
Race: Usually human
Alignment: Evil



Appearance- He could be anyone.



Abilities- Suliss is a powerful sorcerer with access to many forbidden magics. He is currently in the body of an average joe, and as such from a physical standpoint is completely normal. His body right now is around twenty-five years of age, can bench press 175 pounds, and can run 15 miles per hour.

*Body Steal: Suliss has the power to change bodies with his victims by repeating the following chant whilst in physical contact with them. This works even if they wear clothing, armor, or other forms of mobile protection, so long as they can feel the pressure of his direct contact.

"Thig Mòr Athair!
Thoir dhomh an fheoil mo nàmhaid.

Airson tròcair m 'anam.
Airson a 'phuing mo bhàis.
Eisdibh rium -mach à bho mo dhìteadh guth.

Bidh mi a ' lùbadh fheòil a thoil, Mòr Athair!
Bidh mi a ' lùbadh fheòil a thoil, Mòr Athair!
Bidh mi a ' lùbadh fheòil a thoil, Mòr Athair!

Dòcha chaillte n-anaman a ghabhail gus ur shuthain uaimh!

Bidh mi a ' lùbadh fheòil a thoil, Mòr Athair!
Bidh mi a ' lùbadh fheòil a thoil, Mòr Athair!
Bidh mi a ' lùbadh fheòil a thoil, Mòr Athair!"

When he switches bodies, he gains unrestricted access to all of his victim's powers with a full knowledge of their abilities and skills. Suliss must repeat the entire chant to complete the change, and has to start over from the beginning if he loses contact with the opponent. If he is interrupted from speaking, he can pick up where he left off, so punching him in the mouth wouldn't force him to start over. If new forms allow him to speak faster, then he may complete the ritual all the more quickly. Currently, it takes him twenty seconds to finish.

*Siphon: Suliss can emit spells that steal an opponent's stamina, vitality, life energy, whatever you like to call it. Whatever strength he steals from a victim is transferred directly to him. It currently takes him two seconds to charge a weak Siphon spell which travels at 329 fps and steals 5% of an opponent's vitality, thus creating a 10% gap in strength. Every two seconds the spell is charged tacks on another 5% drain, and with a fifty second charge he can entirely drain a victim. If he makes physical contact with an opponent whilst Siphon is charging, he can continually drain 5% from them every two seconds. He can dual cast this spell with both hands to steal 5% per second, or half the charge time of the max power Siphon. If he switches bodies with a Siphoned opponent, he loses no strength and the opponent gains nothing, as Siphon steals not physical stamina but life energy. This spell creates a clearly visible sickly yellow light around his hands.

*Wrack: This spell functions with the same power charge as Siphon, except instead of stealing strength, it inflicts enormous agony. The more time Wrack is charged, the more intense the pain is and the longer it lasts. The pain lasts for half as long as the spell is charged. A two second Wrack spell will make one's body feel as if it were beset on all sides by needles covered in salt and vinegar. At half power the body feels like a giant testicle that has just been crushed flat by a hot waffle iron. At full power the victim feels all the agonies of ultimate hell, and unless they have some ability that renders them immune to pain or their body functions differently from other biological life forms, they will typically die instantly from shock.

*FoulFire: A form of fire magic that, instead of burning the flesh, slowly flays and peels it apart like a cheese grater on a banana skin. It functions with the two second charge of course, with a weak spell being painful but almost negligible, and a max power Foulfire able to slowly and irrevocably entirely separate an entity's tissues from its skeleton. Usually a direct hit from a half charged Foulfire is enough to send a human into shock and kill them from blood loss.

*Mix-Ups: Suliss can use his dual casting ability to mix and intertwine his magics to create new spell combinations, such as WrackFire, Siphoning Flames, and LeechWrack. His ultimate attack is to combine all three spells by using his mouth as a third conduit to charge another spell, though this greatly taxes his stamina and leaves him too weak to walk afterwards. The result is LitchFire, a flamethrower-like assault that can continue shoot forth and burn for as long as it can Siphon energy from a victim. Its heat depends on the victim's durability, as the Siphon will continuously fuel the power of the fire with the target's own life force. If set on fire, the only way to put out the flame is to remove whatever part of the body the fire is feeding on. Like all of the other spells, LitchFire follows the two second charge rule.

The speed of the spells and the charge rate may change if Suliss harnesses bodies with greater reserves of life force.



Personality- Suliss is a cruel and conniving villain that desires only power. He enjoys dominating others more than life itself. Throughout his countless ages of switching bodies, his own personal identity has dissolved save for his core desires and ambitions, turning him into a sadistic machine-like creature with no set body. He has no quirks, no little likes or dislikes, nothing like that. He relentlessly pursues power without rest, and that is all.

History- It is not known for how long Suliss has lived. He himself doesn't know. It is not known from whence he came, or where he is going. All that is known, to a select few who know more than they wish they did, that up until a few days ago, Suliss had been imprisoned beneath the ground in the skeletal corpse of a dead woman, having been buried alive many years ago. Grave diggers. Idiots. They went and took Suliss out from his prison, and in return he freed them from their bodies. Again now he resumes his quest to attain ultimate power, and to gain dominion over all existence by working his way up the chain of command until he can inhabit the greatest form of all.

Theme Music-

[ImportantNobody]

For this battle I should come up with a character who's Japanese...who's not based on samurai or ninja! *insert dramatic chipmunk

[LeeRoy]

@ImportantNobody
Maybe he's just a soldier.

@Doc Doctor
Yeah that seems about right, strange concept though. Dealing with it will be difficult. I would say he's intermediate but I also don't know how strong he is, or fast, or durable. If he's a weenie, physically, he'd be low tier. But if he's jacked he'd be intermediate.

[ImportantNobody]

@ImportantNobody
Maybe he's just a soldier.

@LeeRoy

I was thinking some high tech soldier could be cool indeed. Not decked out here though. The plot twist is they are horrible with a katana. One day he swung so bad that the blade broke and hit himself so he has a scar.

He could have some underlings in his unit and one could fight here in his place. He's sort of a coward, actually. :P

Or another plot twist, she's actually far better than him but just humors him because he's her elder/superior. XD And double plot twist, he knows but never admits it. Triple plot twist, she knows he knows.

[LeeRoy]

@ImportantNobody
People always forget that the Katana wasn't the only sword the Japanese ever used.

@LeeRoy

I know they used plenty of other weapons but in terms of swords I actually don't know of any others besides what's basically a really big katana and a really small katana.

[LeeRoy]

@ImportantNobody
Here you go. Research is key, my friend.

Edit:
A list of SWORDS instead of just other weapons.

@LeeRoy

I suppose it depends on point of view, but practically any sword on the list could just be viewed as a katana, just like if you add on an extra two inches to an arming sword or change the hilt slightly, some people can claim it's an entirely new types of sword while others would just say, "no dude, that's an arming sword." It could also be that google images/wikipedia are just posting picture of katana instead of the other japanese swords because they don't know the difference, or they just feel and look more different once you get your hands on one. Some of the chokuto likely wouldn't be mistaken for a katana while other pictures claiming to be chokuto looks just like a straight version of a katana (which I can see why someone would say it's a different sword even if just a straight version being the only difference, but from my point of view it would be kind of nitpicking). Could be the more modern ones are just borrowing too much from the katana look while still claiming to be the different sword that indeed looked more different in the more ancient past. Well, the ancient swords were made vastly differently as well.

@Divinity

I'm up for upper low and mid tier for the 2v2.

I've already put my vote in. What about you all?

Edit:Also Doc imma put in my post in our RP once I'm home.

That's fine

[Doc Doctor]

@ImportantNobody@LeeRoy@Divinity

I'll make the thread and notify everyone when it's finished.

[xmetawolf]

@Divinity Alright ,guess I'll be waiting, if you'd like feel free to pick a character you'd like to fight against.

[LeeRoy]

@xmetawolf
No, believe me. It is absolutely me who should be thanking you.

[ImportantNobody]

Will we do multiverse rules/canon where they can come back to life? I was thinking I should just finish my idea for the magic gun guy.

[Divinity]

@LeeRoy
@Divinity @ImportantNobody

Do we want the 2v2 to be low powered? What characters does everyone want to use?

@Doc Doctor

I have two primary characters and they are roughly within the same power level. I'll assume most are familiar with Corban's powerscale on at least some level. Though he fits more in upper mid to high, I have many convenient Deus Ex's that drastically decrease his power draw and capabilities. He could just be a base human with a pretty sword if a conflict required him to be.

So I'm fine with upper low/mid.

@Divinity
So who is on whose team?

[Divinity]

By the way the conversation has progressed it seems like it would be you@LeeRoy and I vs @Doc Doctor and @ImportantNobody. I could of course be wrong, though.

I'm fine with that.

You know what's annoying? If you eat adult yogurt, you are apparently required to have chunks of fruit in it because I have discovered no brand of yogurt that doesn't have it, the only type being whips that is basically just like eating air. Guess I'll be eating yogurt with little animals on them.
