Huh.

If Rocket Lancer went Outlaw, that'd be fun.

Just to confirm, but was the Dunk Master battoru a collab between Rofl and Lucius? Or was it all Rofl?

No problem. The original idea was just a projectile user who had tons of ammo, so this fits it as well.

After watching some Metal Gear Solid cutscenes and some old clips of Symphogear, I'll be simplifying the Thousand Stars. Now it's just homing Magic Arrow spam, with Negima-style Complexios and Michael Bay explosions.

Despite how he loves to flavor it, Hoshiko is essentially a one-trick magician, only capable of the extraordinarily simple ‘Magic Arrow’ spell. However, through extreme specialization, he has attained the ability to fire off a maximum of 1001 Magic Arrows simultaneously, earning him the moniker of ‘Thousand Stars’.

While individually weak, their homing capabilities are remarkable, to the extent that the only way to truly dodge one of Hoshiko’s Stars is by straight-up teleporting into another dimension. Outside of that, one would have to either outrun those Stars for the rest of their life, or toss some sort of magical obstacle in their way. Their targeting range is five hundred meters, and the projectiles move at 125 meters per second after they are launched outwards, with the destructive capability of, you guessed it, an arrow.

There IS one quality of the Stars that makes them not entirely useless against heavily armored opponents, however. Each Star that lands a blow also imparts a magical charge within the target, and, as more and more charges build up, the stronger the second part of the Stars becomes. After he feels like it, Hoshiko can cause the charges to detonate from within the body of that individual, doing a big, unquantified explosion. Alternatively, that explosion can manifest itself right outside the individual’s body, sending them flying instead.

He can also store the charges in his own body, and do manly, magically-powered strikes that totally don’t copy what Zhu Feng does with his Chi. Yup. Totally doesn’t.

And finally, like most magical things, Magic Arrows don’t care much for the laws of physics or whatever. For all science people know, they could be getting hit by some sort of unknown matter from another dimension. There’s no way to destroy these projectiles through modern weaponry, and, if the ‘obstacles’ are soft enough, a single Magic Arrow has the ability to take down multiple targets at once, depending on how scumbaggy the person targeted is.

Of course, if they’re Youkai and they’re fast enough, they can just break the arrows.

Realized that I was probably one of the people contributing to the power level escalations, so I'll cut it down a bit.

@liferusher
You don't need to fill out a CS to tell me what your character is going to be like, do you?

Or is it more like, you have the pictures, but don't have a solid idea yet?

Deep Ground Online (Hiatus)

That tells me nothing about your character, just that you use anime pictures.

No vote from me.

Deep Ground Online (Hiatus)

Liferusher, answer me this: If you were to hypothetically get into the RP, what character would you make?

And guess I'll pick up Rocket Lancer's scraps then.

@TheWindel
So it's alright to be nigh unkillable, but going glass cannon is no go, even when it doesn't actually seem like the total damage output would reach nuclear levels, and even if it takes five minutes to ramp up to that level for a second or two?

Welp, whatever, I went into this expecting nerfs regardless.

@White Feather
9000 Stars
10 kg per Star
90,000 kg = 99 tons
Max speed is 150km/h
Airliners travel aroud 800km/h.
Airliners weigh upwards of 500 metric tons.
Airliners have gone fast and hit things before.

They have not caused damage akin to that of a nuke.

Thus, I find it hard to believe that 9000 stars, fused together to reach 99 tons, whilst moving at 150km/h, would cause destruction akin to that of a nuke.

@KoL
Here's my compromise. Yay or nay?

Max amount of Stars is 1280 (because doubling).
Amount doubles every 15 seconds, meaning that 'full power' is achieved at 1 minute and 45 seconds.
Weight of Stars, in standard missile form, is 5kg.
Speed of Stars is 300km/h.
Weight of Stars, when fused with other objects, is doubled, to 10 kg.
Stars are immune to exterior magical forces attempting to directly influence it (telekinetically grabbing them, absorbing them, changing their properties). Straight up blocking them with magical shields are still a thing though.
Other things, such as splitting and programs and explosions, are still a thing.

Now, here's my question.

No one is going to be dodging projectiles moving at light speed, and said projectiles are basically the temperature of the Sun. Is that going to get nerfed as well, or are most boss monsters going to have that sort of reaction speed/durability?

Alternatively, what of plasma cannons, which reach thousands of Celsius?

Seems like both those things are easier to set up and achieves the same destructive effect as that 9k fused Star smash, except they're also harder to dodge and easier to avoid collateral damage with?

Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky (Full for the time being)

Wait....

But the mass of all the Stars, together, using unnerfed amounts, would be 100 tons.

The speed in which they can move is 150km/h.

100 tons is apparently the same weight as a commercial airliner.

Airplanes move much faster than 150km/h.

Airplanes have crashed before, and didn't cause something comparable to a nuke's damage, have they?

The desperation to get in is real. Might as well take pity and let liferusher in, Windel. XD
