RPGuild Ranking Headquarters!

@MelonHead and @GreivousKhan

Alright, I managed to seek out some sources as the Olympic recorders weren't as helpful as I had hoped and added into the CS. I tried to adjust to what I felt was good or fair. Name as even a few seconds can end up making the greatest difference and considering he's below average in most the areas, (at least according to my source I decided to use) save strength, it should be balanced well or somewhat better than being vague. I put the source that way you can see where I actually got the information and they seemed to be a decent source. In addition, I focused primary on Strength, Speed, and Reaction, taking off the endurance time because I honestly don't expect the match to last any longer than several seconds total even with the max output between combatants. In addition determining that isn't exactly easily to seek out a source. -_-

GreivousKhan, if you're aiming to use your Knight, may I see a CS? That is, if you're still interested.

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

Alright, I'll take a look and get the review up asap. Also, if you have any questions, Ellri (I think) and I are in the chatroom currently. Echo will also be on later too.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

@Ryonara

AND... Ovak is off. Feel free to puppet him a little as he will be escorting Mei, though keep in mind, his body might be mobile but he's still a bit fragile there.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Ovak

Ovak hadn’t moved or made an attempt to gain the diplomat’s attention. After all, everyone was so use to the empty seat at the table that few bothered to look his direction and realize it was no longer vacant. That, in a simple way, suited the current archmage fine. He always hated to gawking, judging and worse brought on by his position as he adjusted in his cushioned seat. Several teachers, Uicle included, had insisted he had additional cushion to his seat and it gave the sense he was slowly sinking into it. To say it was annoying after being bedridden was an understatement in Ovak’s mind, his body often pushing upward to free himself from the groove being made.

It wasn’t until he heard a young woman’s voice reach out to Uicle, did Ovak notice Meirin’s presence. She much lighter compared to him, though it was likely because her origins weren’t from Yarsomere and instead hailed from Djarkel. He knew this like he knew many things he shouldn’t. A curse and blessing in many different views, though few would see it as such.

"Hello Uicle. I got your message, and I can't seem to find those diplomats... Oh! Shoot, I forgot my manners. Hello, my name is Meirin Kurenai." She bowed to him, Ovak’s wrinkled face smiled in pleasure.

He returned the head bow respectfully and spoke. “Hello, Ms. Kurenai. My name is Ovak Regar. As for the diplomat,” he added seeing Ssarak finish up with his task, his reached for his cane and brought it to rest between his trousered breeches. ”If you will help me up, I will help you locate the Djarkel diplomats.”

When Mei helped him upright, Ovak extended a finger into the Djarkel diplomat’s direction. ”I believe, we should head that way. If you won’t mind me escorting you, Ms. Kurenai, then it will be much easier.”

I was more referring to their image.

But Cesaro, and Cena, at least are fairly strong. There are videos of them lifting, with Cena, in particular, having his lifts mentioned by weight. Wiki has Big E's and Mark Henry's largest lifts listed as well.

@Rilla

Ah, my mistake. Sorry. >,<

RPGuild Ranking Headquarters!

The IRC messes up on my computer a lot, else Allaria would have one like back in the day.

Fallen: Ahh, well, look them boys up.

I generally tend to associate lithe with skinny, and such.

@Rilla

What do you think I've been trying to do? All I get are the wrestling wins stats. Doesn't tell me how strong, in any terms, they are over all. However I found a reasonable weight lifts site that worked well for me.

Hmm, I have an idea. How about we get a spaceship arena? You spec out the type of ship, your command crew, and fight? I dunno if anyone else would be interested, but I certainly would be.

@Athinar

You have my Destroyer (and cruiser, and battlecruiser).

@Tearstone

That reminds of Echo's project of building a format for ship battle in the arena. Merely started off when I asked if it was possible and would be neat if it was. Also... Hiya, Tearstone.

<Snipped quote by Fallenreaper>

Exactly.

@GreivousKhan

That still doesn't stop me from associating 'lithe' with Elves though...

RPGuild Ranking Headquarters!

<Snipped quote by Fallenreaper>

Well technically its the build type you seem to be referring to in your character sheet. People tend to think it means weak or something, but forget it's used to describe trees and Tolkien OP ass elves.

Also I might take up that challenge you posted up. Though I'm debating if I should use my knight.

@GreivousKhan

Nay, there's a difference between slender and weak. And usually I see elves, and you can be skinny and still kick someone's ass, as thin little things. More willowy and light looking in stature.

@Fallenreaper A good scale to use, if you're familiar with wrestling would be:

Bryan
Cesaro
Cena
Batista

As far as what type of body they have.

Bryan has a smaller body, though he trains
Cesaro trains for strength, not show
Cena trains for both
Batista looks to have trained for both.

@Rilla

Sadly I use to be, but my familiarity has slightly faded. My last wrestling memory is around the age Kane still had his mask on and Cold Stone Steve Austin still wrestled. XD

<Snipped quote by Fallenreaper>

I think the word you are looking for is 'lithe.'

@GreivousKhan

Every time I think of 'lithe' my head pops up an image of the recent Spider-Man figure. Which Iron is between him and Captain American frame wise in my mind. That's part of the reason I didn't use 'lithe'.

Unless you're talking about a typo which in this case I blame my iPhone which has autocorrect and typing up massive amounts of text is not friendly on this SOB...

It's your character, so fair enough, from what I know of First Nation People's they tended to favour guerilla tactics where being physically robust in a pushing and shoving sort of way (which most medieval battles tended to come down to on the front line) was not a major concern, nor something they trained for. Though there's always anomalies in every population, I'm sure some favoured physical strength over speed and agility in combat, though the tomahawk at least to me feels like an agile weapon that wouldn't necessarily be of more use in the hands of someone stronger. That's the only reason I made the assumption of him having a sort of wiry strength (That and you mentioned he didn't seem overly muscular.)

Then again, though I can't remember if it was explicitly stated looking at your character's weapons he seems to be from a modern setting, so I suppose what was historically true is irrelevant.

@MelonHead

By overly muscular, I'm talking about body builder standards. He's thick and sturdy framed which makes it clear he's had muscle training. However, it's not to the point his muscles are trying split through his skin or looking like inflated balloons.

As for why his attributes are more aligned with strength, it's more an IC reason that doesn't pertain to the match. He's also not pure blooded Native American so genetics and preference plays a factor in that, though his werecoyote form is dominant in speed to a dangerous level.

A good baseline for strength and speed is to decide what trait you'd like your character to favour and find what the world record in terms of Olympic sport is, then scale down somewhat for realism. That's how I personally set my character stats anywho. Stronger characters -tend- to be less agile, though that doesn't have to translate to being slower in a straight sprint. Height and build have similar advantages and disadvantages.

At the very least, a strong character will be able to lift their own body weight. Obviously in combat factors like height and reach can be just as important to the strength of someone's muscles, but at some point the direct statistical strength of your character may come into question, as contests of strength are somewhat common. Speed is similarly important, if you want to outrun someone or something.

@MelonHead

This is very help and thank you. I'll get on that asap and edit it into the CS.
