This probably isn't the case but I've had tabs auto refresh on me before.

You would enjoy that, wouldn't you.

@TheWindel

Where did you get this idea from? You clearly must think that I'm one to indulge in such debauchery out of my volition.

@TheWindel

Harumi approves of this theme.

@KoL

So what you're saying is that you like it restrictive and forceful. Noted.

@KoL

Is anyone currently in control of the ruins or are all the armies just surrounding it right now?

@Awesomoman64

The latter. The battle hasn't started yet but people should be preparing.

@Awesomoman64

Obviously it's under Grafdakka's control. Sure he doesn't have the support of the rest of the Machinas, but he's King of the (underwater) Hill! Ain't no one taking his throne! NO ONE! BUWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

[Awesomoman64]

@TheWindel

Awesome. I think I might have enough information to set the scene for the heaven's side. (Or at least Omega's point of view.)

Underwater king? I didn't realize Graf had sunk this low.

@Lucius Cypher

You clearly have no notion of who's the one who's most suited to rule this battlefield, right?

[Awesomoman64]

Short post is short but it did its job.

@Flamelord@Mega Birb

I didn't tag you guys just in case you wanted to place your characters elsewhere but anyone can interact with Omega now.

@KoL
It's alright my dude, just throw the next part up whenever possible. Aaron ain't that kinky. Or maybe he is. I dunno yet.

[Mega Birb]

On a side note, first post will not feature character pictures because I'm too lazy to open Gimp right now.

Also, yay for someone else who uses GIMP to do this stuff.

Success(?) of your shameless promoting.

Miyu

"I wear glasses to correct my vision. Pride in my natural abilities is foolishly misplaced to a hilarious degree in that regard. I'm going to wear THIS suit of armor, to correct dying from bullets and shrapnel before even reaching the enemy and being unable to breach their armor upon arriving. Pride is for archangels and dragons. Which I'm sure you'd prefer, but you'll have to make do with me. Victory is my pride."

Name: Miyu
Title: Honorless Blade of Yagata, Knight Errant, Yamauchi
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Angels of Heaven
Race: Angel
Personality: Curious. Driven. Outspoken. Humanophile?

History: The event that changed the course of destiny of Miyu from a low ranking noble of a family that long since lost its warrior blood to a lonely blade anathema to her own people, was not some great betrayal, or tragic death, or even inspiring mentor. It was when she saw a shiny piece of glass, fallen on the street of a human world, and tried looking through it. She could read letters from far away! She was nearsighted.

This little thing trickled down, changing her perspective and world. This little invention allowed her to finally see the world clearly, but her parents did not allow it to her for the sake of pride. A nearsighted angel? Miyu saw this as folly. Weren't her swords a tool, because she didn't have claws? Armor because she lacked scales? Where should the line be drawn between a righteous tool and unrighteous? Her family was weak and getting weaker, but they refused to innovate or adapt, for honor and pride.

That would not be her, Miyu resolved. Miyu frequented human worlds in secret, easily passing for human with the addition of a cloak (ok, she may have restricted her visits to costume festivals), and acquiring her most previous possession, her glasses. She learned something of human ways, and found many aspects admirable. As evidenced by her picture, she is still not a complete master of human clothing.

It was in a later battle against the Machina of Man that the final change took place, though her decision had long since been made. The numerically inferior garrison-quality force of an unimportant world dealt absurd casualties to a supposedly superior angelic host. Lack of willingness to adapt to enemy tactics and the enormous disparity of equipment allowed what should have been a decisive victory to become a Pyrrhic one. When fiefs were awarded to the noble houses participating in the assault, Miyu took for her own a smog drenched industrial holding that none of the others wanted. Because inside it was a factory for the Daimyo V Battlesuit. Even without workers or further supplies, the resources already there would allow Miyu to equip herself for quite some time, as she was a lone soldier and not a regiment.

Adopting the ways of war of the Machina was not without political repercussions. Miyu lost her family name, was dismissed from her unit, and generally an absolute outcast of angel society. But she is still determined to prove the worth of technology, roaming hopeless battlefields and saving or turning the tide when angelic commanders have no hope but to call on any and all assistance to win the battle.

Daimyo V Battlesuit: That's a V, not a roman numeral five. It also looks like this.

As you might note from the combined facts of "no wings" and "angel legs don't bend like that" this is less of a suit of armor than a piloted mech, being 16 feet tall, Miyu piloting from the chest of the mech.

Apart from a standard-grade hyperedge blade, the Daimyo V is loaded entirely with defensive measures. Heavy armor plating protects the Daimyo V from most attacks, the heavily armored shoulder and back pads easily capable of tanking airstrike and artillery rounds. There are some vulnerabilities from below in the heavy armor, the back pads are shielding exhaust vents for the primary reactor. Numerous micro-missile anti-missile systems are secreted about the Daimyo, their detection systems are mostly effective when given a specific arc or target to defend against. They can also be placed on anti-infantry, but are not terribly effective. However, most importantly, is the AEGIS VII (that is a Roman Numeral this time) shield system. The Daimyo V has no energy weapons or flight systems, allowing it to spend exorbitant amounts of energy on its shields, proportional to its size. When all shield power is focused on a single arc, it provides nigh-invulnerability against weapons of the Daimyo V's weight and tech class, and the front arc is even stronger than any other arc. One weakness to this system is that, while the back and rear shield projectors are shielded under the heavily armored pad and smaller, the front arc shield projector is vulnerable (see that green orb?). While it's not a super "shoot here you win" weakpoint, it is a "shoot here and the front arc is sans shields".

Unfortunately for Miyu, the Daimyo V, while a fine piece of technology, is not some super wonder prototype with performance off the scale. It's a mass production model, albeit, a quality one.

Mantle of Unconquerable Sun: A basic angelic spell of shielding your weapons and armor from demonic and other magical influence. No amount of magic resistance is very useful if your opponent can turn your armor into an iron maiden or phase right through your weapon. Low level angels like Miyu who often have to make do with less mystical or legendary weapons must learn spells to provide their weapons and armor impromptu enchantments. Given Miyu's armament... She has taken this spell above and beyond the scale it was originally intended for, though the strength has suffered somewhat, the Daimyo V still vulnerable to mystical assault, though more resilient than normal Machina. Her specialization and effort has afforded her much more skill in it than most other angels of her class, though, and unlocked another effect, that of "unifying" the armor and weapon. Armor piercing attacks have their penetration power nullified as the impact is diffusely spread across the armor, and the Daimyo V's blade can clash edge on edge or strike heavy armor without blunting. This obviously doesn't do anything to attacks that are already diffuse, like explosions. This spell combines quite well with the naturally defensive Daimyo V to make Miyu irritatingly difficult to put down for normal troops on the battle field.

Mantle of Unconquerable Sun has had... weird interactions with the Daimyo V's AEGIS VII shield systems. Several attempts at getting them to work together has resulted in both the spell and shield failing in a very showy explosion of light mana and shield shards. Miyu feels like she's close to unlocking some sort of offensive ability that relies on this interaction, and she could use it as a kind of impromptu holy frag grenade, but it seems very weak for the cost of causing both the AEGIS VII and Mantle of Unconquerable Sun to burn out for a few minutes, leaving the large target of the Daimyo V critically vulnerable to armor penetrating attacks. For now, Miyu uses the Mantle of Unconquerable Sun only on the direct components of the Daimyo V.

Miyu's also gotten pretty good at feint swordsmanship. Many of her hardest opponents have outclassed the Diamyo V two to one or worse in agility due to their smaller size, leaving her with only the option of tricking them into a premature dodge if she wants to land a hit.

Weapons: Outside of her mech, she has two blades. Also a pistol she's still learning the hang of. While military grade, these are not anything special otherwise.
Equipment: Glasses. Very important.
Other: Still looking for a good themesong.

@KoL Post for ya, fucked up the tagging >.>

Alright, so, I decided to put the metric conversions of height and weight onto Sliske and Torag's CS, and I realized something. I made Torag under the assumption that the rulers of each faction were ridiculously tall. I have accidentally created the tallest character with a listed height.

Also I made this as a joke, this is not an actual CS. I might do more of these later.

If that weren't a joke I'd say it was accepted :3
