@redbaron1234 Well the thing about Vikkar is that although he is a powerful warrior, with his armor and such, he is also an outdated one. He'd been used to fighting humans exclusively, and as a result he will carry these tactics into battle, not knowing that other nomads may not even be anatomically similar to people at all, and the technology gap with some of the other nomads certainly outweighs titanium plate armor.

Essentially, think of a medieval knight going up against a pirate. The knight will slaughter the pirate in a straight on fight thanks to his armor, but the pirate has a deadly technology advantage, given his guns and grenades.

Right but in this scenario this knight has modern grade body armor on his side, on top of his Nomad level toughness.

While things haven't exactly started up yet, I'm curious over a couple of things, namely which characters do you think are foils of each other? Like, for example, Otsana and Lucie, Jonas and Vindani, and so on; curious to see what others will come up with, as well as reasons (didn't come up with any for mine now, but I'll maybe get to it later).

He's pretty tanky for sure, but even body armor has its limits. Shock from getting hit, dust and sand, gas, or electricity. Really, the only type of damage he is heavily resistant against is the kinetic kind. On top of that, his attack set is exclusively hand-to-hand, lacking any ranged moves. Also, some of those attacks may not even have any effect on non-humanoid opponents. To me, this seems like a good enough reason to up his armor. However, you are a gm, so if you really want me to lower his armor I will.

Haven't had the chance of reading up on every character but Bec seems like he could be a foil to Karliah and Shippai. Karliah is very focused on training and fights close quarters while Bec dismisses hard work and prefers to fight at a comfortable distance. Shippai has naturally low ki and was abandoned by her parents while Bec is a prodigy and walked away from his home.

TV Tropes has a good summary on that and different examples of it.

After some busy/draining times at work here is the previously mentioned assassin for the eyes of the GMs and anyone else who feels like a look.

@Spiral Powered Looks pretty good to me, I like his move set and his overall style. Nexus trap is a bit weird considering some super moves aren't compatible with it but that's not really going to be an issue I think. It's pretty obvious which moves would work and which ones wouldn't. Approved

@wxps350 What a total jerk. Approved

In other news, we are hoping to get this ball rolling this weekend on the IC, so if you are waiting for approval still (or are unsure if you have been approved), please PM me, Savo, or Phoebe as soon as you can so we can get you settled!

Yes, thank you, please do that. It would put mind at ease.

I hope that anything relevant in the discord gets reposted here, because my interest in trawling through "witty online banter" for relevant information is fuckin nil.

Welcome aboard! You got the greenlight from me.

@Dead Cruiser

We do more than just banter, but yeah, we will be reposting relevant information here. Honestly it is more lively than the forum,however.
