Just looking with an interesting character to fight
Is this ok?
Name: Alex
Nickname: "Monster" or "Demon"
Age: he forgot but knowing he is well older then a decade
Race: Considered a Demigod but has his fathers powers
Occupation: the judge/ executioner/ or a chaotic hero
Height: 5'9
Weight: 125"lbs
Character tier: Intermediate
Personality: murderous and sadistic. Intellegent in the way he will figure out a way to bring down the most challenging foes.
Bio: ???
Powers:
Hades Fury: using powers from his father he is able to create black flames on his hands which he can use in many different ways like throwing fire balls or blow out like a dragons fire, making a fire wall or barrier, and to use as a little trick to his close combat by using it like boxing gloves or to burn victims in a grapple and to break out of one. Burning as hot as 635 degrees Celsius (tier lvl: intermediate)
Demonic presence: from the dark aura that radiates from his body that acts like a thick shadow aura that manifest , he uses it to create different forms to aid him in a fight. For an example like the shadowy aura covers his arms to form extended fist or arms to reach, grab, or smash his opponents(you can compare it to how naruto fought sasuke when he had the first tail.) or even to create a weapon like manifesting a bladed weapon in his hand or arms. Can do the same but forming on his back to form eight arms or tentacles. While using the tentacles they can stick into the ground and come back out to keep his targets in place for a grapple so he can hold the target still for an attack. One post prep needed an target most be stationary to complete the transition. Or instead of a grapple they can root itself to the ground and come back up to form shadow spikes come out and covering a good twenty meter circumference.(tier lvl: intermediate)
Shadow Puppets: using the Demonic presence he uses the shadows to form shadow figures to create dark hydra heads to come out of his tentacles from his back. Same amount on his back but doubles for each hydra head cut like the real but only up to 32 heads until they are gone completely. They are apart of him since they are mere puppets. They bite with 87psi or acts as cannons to deliver his hades furry to make a volley attack.This power is greatly affective in a cemetery where there is deceased. Because he can use his tentacles to posses up to 4 tier 1 undead warriors to fight for him they also have the appearance of flight but only from the fact they are controlled by strings like puppets. He needs concentration to do either one or both. One post prep for one but two or more for both with continuous concentration(tier lvl: intermediate to high)
Hell's Bounds: forming chains that cover both his arms to create metallic whips to fight. Can use hades fury to ignite the chains to burn victims in grapples. Or to be use to swing out or make tight turns when moving at fast speeds. (Tier lvl: intermediate)
Black Plague: blowing out of his mouth to create a cloud covering a patch of the area to poison his victim, showing rapid symptoms of it till dead. Not effective if they are wearing anything that keeps it out or an armor that is in closed with a filter in it. It must be inhaled for its effect to work and takes up 10x10 feet of square inch unless wind is involved. A small huff takes three days to die if not treated correctly but the days shorten depending on how much was breathed in. As time passes the symptoms would show and will be damaging to the host. At first it acts like tear gas to causes a burning sensation to the eyes and mouth, but not to the producer. (Tier lvl: intermediate)
Demon wings: he creates them using the shadow puppet ability anduses them to fly an can go fast as a jet fighter going at supersonic speeds but hard to turn if need to, usually goes as fast as 150-200 mph to able to turn to avoid attacks. Can also be used to block an opponent if in a fist fight. With a three feet wing span. One post prep to pop out wings(tier lvl: intermediate)
Regeneration of the dammed: as the title pretty much explains it. He can able to regenerate his body if its damaged it any sort of way. Of an arm is cut off then it regrows simple as that with the same rules as his other limbs. However, He uses a lot of his energy so he will be fatigue fast if done more then twice.Also being attacked by a holy object or striked by a magical weapon makes the process to either slow down or not to be effective. Only exception is if beheaded then the head stays off. Has to be done of combat due to it drains his ability to fight.(however he can make artificial limbs if one is cut off with the help of demonic presence)(tier lvl: intermediate)
Bats of the night: bursting into a wave of bats to easily go through his adversary fir either dodging and retreat. Requires a one post prep, if a chunk of his bats are gone then he might loose an arm or a leg(tier lvl: intermediate)
Natural abilities:
Pure dark: since he creates dark and shadow based attacks and other powers of hells furry. Also with the ability to see in the darkness with night vision(tier lvl intermediate)
Unholy sacrifice: when bad goes to worst, this natural ability tends to be the last resort in any given battle. Demons and devils makes contracts to give what anyone wants so using the same concept but without no pen or paper. Paying with any ability or natural ability in order to get a boost in the end. For example: sacrificing a natural for his power to give it extra strength or a new type which can go the same but reversed process. (Saying like giving up my wings to give strength to my ground speed or getting rid of my fast movements to better improve on strength.) sacrificing a limb will regenerate his original power with the cost of an arm or a leg, but that's only for a life or death situation. (Could use demonic presence to make a temporary arm until finding a suitable replacement) (tier lvl: intermediate to high)
Natural adaption: when he sees an ability foreign to him, he will try his out most to copy and imitate a power or move. Making him a fast learner at seeing all the smoke and mirrors. If it's holy power then it'll have an opposite effect or same with a different subtype (light turning to a dark) this ability can range from temporal or permanent with the help of unholy sacrifice.(tier lvl high)
Prowess of a demon: His strength and ability is something not to be reckon with. His senses are far past any normal human being to the point he is an elite demon. Able to sense the disturbance of the wind or sound that can help aid him with any evasion or attack. Heavy yet fast pinching from lifting 50tons each arm(boosts on prep with demonic presence by times 2)and speeds to go up to 95mph on ground. If all power has been lost then that's all he has since he is not human.
With the shadow puppets ability he can basically use the dark aura around him to make "physical shadow puppets" which can be used to attack, defense, or anything in between.(tier lvl: intermediate)
Masochist: since the fact he is a special hell spawn. He can basically withstand any kind of torture. Also not being able to be intimidated no matter what the circumstances are. He is from hell of coarse seen the worst(tier lvl: intermediate)
Power othe the Underworld: After his last battle with his creator. When he consumed hades after his defeat and thus taking the power of lord death along with it. The power becoming his core in which is his fuel for his everyday life even when not in combat. This can be seen on how the atmosphere around him changes from dim to black from the aura he gives out around his body. He can use the output to slowly turn the area of the battlefield dimmer to dark that requires three post.(tier lvl: intermediate )
Weaknesses: beheading and fatigue. The only problem with fatigue is that he can use unholy sacrifice to keep up his murderous killing spree. Eventually it will kill him when there is nothing more to sacrifice.

i can't see any major issues with it right now. Schradinger? anything you would like to mention?

A couple things actually, I'm glad you asked. Though they aren't all about the character.
Firstly: Arty never raised his arm. He just left it where it was behind his back and opened it, since it was already pointed at you. There wouldn't be that much warning.
Secondly: Lith has no energy absorbing properties, and if it's still in second form it also has armor running up your arm. That's going to conduct all of the electricity straight through your body on its way to the ground. Even if you managed to plant one end in the ground and still get the other in position to block, a significant portion would still go through you.
Now on to the character.
Demonic Presence: How strong are the tentacles? And 20 meters is over 60 feet. That could hit almost all of us at once. I'd be comfortable with something less than 5 meters across. Perhaps each tentacle can generate enough spikes for one square meter, giving you 8 square meters (a 12 foot by 12 foot square) if all of them are used. I'd also like to know the range of this ability.
Demon Wings: Being as fast as a fighter jet puts him at over mach 2. Mach 1 is kind of the unofficial limit for intermediate characters, but unless he has some way to propel himself in addition to just his wings, he'd never even get close to that speed. A peregrine falcon (the fastest known winged creature) has a highest recorded speed of 242 mph, and that's in a straight dive, not level flight.
Pure Dark: I'm unclear as to what the first portion of this is supposed to do.
Unholy Sacrifice: I think this one should probably have a 2:1 enhancement ratio, given how powerful Alex already is. So if he gave up his inhuman speed, he would only gain an equivalent half of what he gave up back as strength.
Natural Adaptation: If this means he can copy anyone else's abilities, I'm going to have to say no to it. Suddenly gaining the ability to control lightning after watching Arty do it would put him way outside the bounds of OP when combined with his already very potent abilities.
Prowess of a Demon: First off, 50 tons per arm is enough to crush every single one of our characters with one blow, including Vordak's, whose only abilities are his physical power, speed, and durability. The strength is going to have to be massively nerfed if you want to keep all his other abilities, probably in the range of 1 ton baseline (total, not per arm, though he can go higher with his unholy sacrifice). Secondly, having senses so perfectly attuned that they let him avoid any attack is blatantly OP. If this is the level he's at after all his power has been lost, he soars well into high tier and way past any characters here.
Shadow Puppets: How durable are they and how many can he make at once?
Weaknesses: Just a general note about how attacks or defenses that generate a lot of light should probably weaken his shadow manipulation abilities.
Firstly: Arty never raised his arm. He just left it where it was behind his back and opened it, since it was already pointed at you. There wouldn't be that much warning.

i'll fix the first part about his arm moving, i wrote most of it late at night so i was kinda expecting to have to fix it a little, surprised that's all i missed.
but with lith, the four swords all have the energy absorption/redirection as it is a quality of the metal they are made of, the armoring, core, every second 'ring' (the ones between these are wood) and all of the cutting teeth on the lances length are still this same metal the original blade was made of. the only one of the swords that loses this ability in second form is the last one as the entire weapon becomes fire rather than metal.

Ah, I guess I missed that in the CS. Though if you're dead set on fixing more, there's also the issue of Max knowing exactly where the lightning was going to be and getting the sword in place fast enough to block it... ;)
Also the fact that it was a charged attack, and you just ignored it with a zero-prep defense. That's kind of a no-no.

it wasn't really a no prep defense, lith isn't that small as a lance and it was already in place as a defense the post before. the movement mentioned would have been less than an inch which goes along with the time he had to block, already fully aware he was facing an electric enemy.

It would have been a lot more movement than an inch. Arty arced the lightning up and then down toward his head, not in a straight line. Lightning very rarely travels in a straight line, and Arty's wasnt using the predictable route. putting the lance directly between Arty's hand and your head wouldnt have blocked the lightning, and even with the mention of readying for defense, there's still more prep behind my bolt.

lith is 8 feet long, so to holding it between the two people defensively would have the grip and armored arm raised higher and in front of his face since he doesn't need line-of-sight to see. and with the ready defense and large amount of surface area that is set up to combat energy attacks it would have a better capability to deal with the charge, and with the tip against the ground it would take less effort to divert it down than to absorb it making it even easier to avoid damage.

A) You never said Lith was stuck in the ground. You said it was being held defensively, which implies a position more or less parallel with the ground, so as to cover as many vital areas as possible and still retain mobility in case of an attack from an unexpected angle.
B) The only part of Lith that has been stated to have a larger than normal surface area would be the head, which wouldn't be anywhere near your face. The rest is assumed to be the width of a standard polearm and the coverage of more or less normal plate armor, since nothing else was specified.
C) As I said before, the bolt was not fired straight. It was fired up, then arced down toward his head. Holding Lith in front of the face would do nothing to impede the attack. He would have to be holding it at an angle above his head, otherwise the bolt wouldn't strike Lith.
D) He has no reason to suspect the attack would come from above instead of any other direction, so holding it in front of his face (as you said he was doing) would be the most logical position since it provides the best coverage possible.
5) Even if Lith did manage to be placed in the correct position to intercept the bolt, it still wouldn't be stuck in the ground and the ability to completely negate an attack that has been prepared for three posts with a defense that has been prepared for two is only achievable by a character a tier above the one he's fighting. Unless you're suddenly promoting your character to high tier, you do need to take damage even if the bolt is intercepted by Lith. Not full damage, but not exactly a pittance either.
6) All of this is assuming that we're using a rule-set similar to the one used in the previous attempts at a multiverse (which I assume we are since we adopted that tier system).
Addendum to B) Upon re-reading the CS, Lith is stated to be an eight foot lance, so we can assume that the dimensions would remain proportional to a standard lance meaning that the thickest point (just in front of the grip) is no more than 6 inches across, not nearly enough to intercept the bolt when held in front of the face. That's also assuming a jousting lance rather than a battle one.
Last edit, I promise. :P I apologize in advance if I start to sound high and mighty or something, and I don't mean any of it like that. I just kind of turn into spock when I go into debate mode.

okay, sorry i'm late but i had a crap day yesterday and didn't really want to put any of that into this. on that note.....
sorry if this sounds rude but what idiot would hold something as heavy as lith would be parallel to the ground with one arm without holding it at it's center of balance? that would put excess strain on his arm and leave him vulnerable to the types of attack he's expecting. the best positioning for what he has would be;
kneeling down with lith in his right arm, using lith's guard to protect his arm, the head on the ground in on his left and in front of him. holding geth in his right, armored arm to protect his right. like this he can move lith to defend most of his body from above, the left and the front with minor protection on his right which is supplemented by his right arm. but due to me not thinking clearly when posting i didn't include all that and at any rate lith would be placed with the tip in the ground to reduce strain on the fighter.
second, while size wise lith isn't that large the surface area of it is roughly twice what it appears due to the 'petal' blades (which i keep calling petals due to each being about the same size as a standard rose petal) that cover the entire surface and overlap, also counting the small gaps between the rings that allow them to spin. giving the entire thing as a whole a very large surface area.
this one i have to call into question. looking at your sheet you only mention that he discharges the electricity, not that he can control the path it takes meaning that really his attacks shouldn't be able to arc in the manner you mentioned. with how you put his ability it can only be interpenetrated as he can launch bolts of electricity but he can only fire it in a direct path. meaning that while it doesn't follow a straight line is you were to you could draw a straight line through the path it took like a graph. you made no mention of being able to control electricity, only generate it, so really as soon as it has left your body it would be nothing more than an aimed lightning bolt and therefor unable to pull off the precise hit you're saying he's using.
another note about his lightning, both his ability to charge it fully while still fighting normally, and it's base power that you stated is "capable of outright killing a human, leaving burn marks and smoke rising from their remains" mixed with your fighters ability to use it as an essentially unblockable/undodgable attack comes across as op in my opinion. as seen when you one hit killed the only opponent you actually killed. your charge has little to no effect on your character where a normal charge attack has some kind of drawback while it is charging, despite this you have displayed him being able to use even advanced moves such as the sword without and drawback while charging your bolt. the only noted drawback being that he can't use the hand he's charging with which can be avoided since he doesn't have to use a hand to charge.
this one is covered in the first bit, since he knew he was against an electric enemy he covered as much as he could, expecting an attack coming from just his opponents general direction.
and sorry for this one, but it's my interpretation of the power you're using. with that said the power you've described comes across as something that you're not going to let me come away from alive if i do take any of the damage from it. after all this was the description you used for an attack against another character, that has less charge than this one.
" A white-hot bolt of lightning thundered from his palm straight at the grenadier's face, potent enough to burn a hole clean through a modern tank, along with setting the entire crew ablaze from sheer electrical current. The sound and light alone were twice that of a flash-bang grenade"
with that kind of power and you saying that i should be taking more than a little of the force. when, with the kind of power you've described 'a little' damage would be the loss of the arm holding lith and severe internal scaring and damage leaving my fighter crippled and basically dead.
all it sounds like you're arguing is that i take the drawn out version of you saying 'nope you're dead cos i fired in your general direction'
sorry if this sounds rude but what idiot would hold something as heavy as lith would be parallel to the ground with one arm without holding it at it's center of balance? that would put excess strain on his arm and leave him vulnerable to the types of attack he's expecting. the best positioning for what he has would be;
kneeling down with lith in his right arm, using lith's guard to protect his arm, the head on the ground in on his left and in front of him. holding geth in his right, armored arm to protect his right. like this he can move lith to defend most of his body from above, the left and the front with minor protection on his right which is supplemented by his right arm. but due to me not thinking clearly when posting i didn't include all that and at any rate lith would be placed with the tip in the ground to reduce strain on the fighter.
second, while size wise lith isn't that large the surface area of it is roughly twice what it appears due to the 'petal' blades (which i keep calling petals due to each being about the same size as a standard rose petal) that cover the entire surface and overlap, also counting the small gaps between the rings that allow them to spin. giving the entire thing as a whole a very large surface area.
this one i have to call into question. looking at your sheet you only mention that he discharges the electricity, not that he can control the path it takes meaning that really his attacks shouldn't be able to arc in the manner you mentioned. with how you put his ability it can only be interpenetrated as he can launch bolts of electricity but he can only fire it in a direct path. meaning that while it doesn't follow a straight line is you were to you could draw a straight line through the path it took like a graph. you made no mention of being able to control electricity, only generate it, so really as soon as it has left your body it would be nothing more than an aimed lightning bolt and therefor unable to pull off the precise hit you're saying he's using.
another note about his lightning, both his ability to charge it fully while still fighting normally, and it's base power that you stated is "capable of outright killing a human, leaving burn marks and smoke rising from their remains" mixed with your fighters ability to use it as an essentially unblockable/undodgable attack comes across as op in my opinion. as seen when you one hit killed the only opponent you actually killed. your charge has little to no effect on your character where a normal charge attack has some kind of drawback while it is charging, despite this you have displayed him being able to use even advanced moves such as the sword without and drawback while charging your bolt. the only noted drawback being that he can't use the hand he's charging with which can be avoided since he doesn't have to use a hand to charge.
this one is covered in the first bit, since he knew he was against an electric enemy he covered as much as he could, expecting an attack coming from just his opponents general direction.
and sorry for this one, but it's my interpretation of the power you're using. with that said the power you've described comes across as something that you're not going to let me come away from alive if i do take any of the damage from it. after all this was the description you used for an attack against another character, that has less charge than this one.
" A white-hot bolt of lightning thundered from his palm straight at the grenadier's face, potent enough to burn a hole clean through a modern tank, along with setting the entire crew ablaze from sheer electrical current. The sound and light alone were twice that of a flash-bang grenade"
with that kind of power and you saying that i should be taking more than a little of the force. when, with the kind of power you've described 'a little' damage would be the loss of the arm holding lith and severe internal scaring and damage leaving my fighter crippled and basically dead.
all it sounds like you're arguing is that i take the drawn out version of you saying 'nope you're dead cos i fired in your general direction'

" A white-hot bolt of lightning thundered from his palm straight at the grenadier's face, potent enough to burn a hole clean through a modern tank, along with setting the entire crew ablaze from sheer electrical current. The sound and light alone were twice that of a flash-bang grenade"
with that kind of power and you saying that i should be taking more than a little of the force. when, with the kind of power you've described 'a little' damage would be the loss of the arm holding lith and severe internal scaring and damage leaving my fighter crippled and basically dead.
all it sounds like you're arguing is that i take the drawn out version of you saying 'nope you're dead cos i fired in your general direction'

okay, sorry i'm late but i had a crap day yesterday and didn't really want to put any of that into this. on that note.....
sorry if this sounds rude but what idiot would hold something as heavy as lith would be parallel to the ground with one arm without holding it at it's center of balance? that would put excess strain on his arm and leave him vulnerable to the types of attack he's expecting. the best positioning for what he has would be;
kneeling down with lith in his right arm, using lith's guard to protect his arm, the head on the ground in on his left and in front of him. holding geth in his right, armored arm to protect his right. like this he can move lith to defend most of his body from above, the left and the front with minor protection on his right which is supplemented by his right arm. but due to me not thinking clearly when posting i didn't include all that and at any rate lith would be placed with the tip in the ground to reduce strain on the fighter.
second, while size wise lith isn't that large the surface area of it is roughly twice what it appears due to the 'petal' blades (which i keep calling petals due to each being about the same size as a standard rose petal) that cover the entire surface and overlap, also counting the small gaps between the rings that allow them to spin. giving the entire thing as a whole a very large surface area.
this one i have to call into question. looking at your sheet you only mention that he discharges the electricity, not that he can control the path it takes meaning that really his attacks shouldn't be able to arc in the manner you mentioned. with how you put his ability it can only be interpenetrated as he can launch bolts of electricity but he can only fire it in a direct path. meaning that while it doesn't follow a straight line is you were to you could draw a straight line through the path it took like a graph. you made no mention of being able to control electricity, only generate it, so really as soon as it has left your body it would be nothing more than an aimed lightning bolt and therefor unable to pull off the precise hit you're saying he's using.
another note about his lightning, both his ability to charge it fully while still fighting normally, and it's base power that you stated is "capable of outright killing a human, leaving burn marks and smoke rising from their remains" mixed with your fighters ability to use it as an essentially unblockable/undodgable attack comes across as op in my opinion. as seen when you one hit killed the only opponent you actually killed. your charge has little to no effect on your character where a normal charge attack has some kind of drawback while it is charging, despite this you have displayed him being able to use even advanced moves such as the sword without and drawback while charging your bolt. the only noted drawback being that he can't use the hand he's charging with which can be avoided since he doesn't have to use a hand to charge.
