I think Rilla is focusing on getting the fatal 4-way going.

@Skallagrim

Evvie should try to join and fight all of them at once.

ImportantNobody vs. Bartimaeus (Battles to Last a Century)

I'll try to be more consistent again in posting.

ImportantNobody vs. Bartimaeus (Battles to Last a Century)

The elven princess let out a grin, amused by her opponent more than annoyed by his insults. "My name is Velice Alnori. I'm afraid that I cannot allow a lowly orc such as yourself to take my head...unless of course you're more than meets the eye? It's hard to tell, really; each orc looking as disgusting as the last."

As the orc brandished his weapon, Velice drew her own gracefully from it's scabbard in one fast, fluid motion. The sword was long and narrow, almost like a rapier, it's blade transparent and appearing like stained glass of many different colors that glittered magnificently as light struck it. The glittering was not blinding, however, more pleasant to look at then anything else.

"Unfortunately for you, we elves and myself especially are far stronger then our appearances let on," she replied to his threat on her life. To demonstrate her point she lashed out with the tip of her blade at him so quickly it was almost a blur, and if it struck his sword it would likely be quite the jarring impact.

Can he be a Super Sentai/PowerRanger parody?

@Teoinsanity

He can act like one.

There's a significant difference between armour that is heat resistant and armour that is immune to lava.

It will still melt under sustained damage, you can't really expect more than that, unless you expect your opponent to be unresistant to fire in which cause they will literally just melt and die instantly from the powers your character is using.

I don't really have any high tier characters suitable other than Higan for fighting a character with strafing-run proof armour and lava attacks.

@MelonHead

Lava being able to harm him eventually is fine then.

Didn't you guys have a ranked fight with fire vs water?

@Rilla

Yes, but it made sense how they were evenly balanced. Heat vs. heat resistance is another story.

Wanna be a Magical Girl? Stand in Line!

Setting the stage

"Look here, dearie, you have the proper paperwork, right?" An old, heavyset lady with a large mole on her forehead said to the young girl standing before her in the Tokyo magical girl registration office. Her chair creaked as she leaned backwards, shoving her glasses from the tip of her nose up to her beady eyes as she examined the papers handed to her, the girl standing on tip toes just to reach her. For a place sure to get a ton of young girls passing through, they sure didn't make it easy for those of their size.

"Background check...references...resume...physical exam...eye exam..." the fat lady rattles off, shuffling through the huge stack of documentation and stamping certain pages as needed. "...flying permit..." she continued as the line of girls waiting behind her fidgeted around impatiently. "...concealed magical weapon permit...alright, looks like you remembered everything! Wow, that's impressive. Now step right over there, sweetie, and get your picture taken for the license. Then..."

The rest of the explanation was a blur, but it all paid off in the end when she got her magical girl license! Now she could have a blast roaming the streets, flying around, and picking fights with deadly monsters to save the day...right? Right?! Nope. This is the real world and not everything works out like how anime portrays. I swear, those anime shows were just propaganda through and through...

Important Info

This is a realistic magical girl roleplay as our characters mainly work for the 4th Tokyo Magical Girl Peacekeeping Department (TMGPD) and their friends/associates such as magical girls from an American department if desired. Basically, magical girls have way too much freedom to do whatever they want in anime, while in real life they'd undeniably be bound by a whole lot of red tape. Just like police work, most assignments don't end in dramatic battles, and if they do occur then expect a whole lot of paperwork to follow. Monsters and magic do exist but they're now considered quite mundane, a magical girl hardly getting a passing glance anymore as people are more interested in looking at their phones. In the event of a rare monster sighting then a magical girl may be called in as needed, but this is not the focus of this roleplay. This roleplay deals with the comically mundane misadventures that we, as magical girls and friends, will face. Maybe we think it's a monster but it's actually just a dog that got lost and tore up a garden looking for a place to go to the bathroom. Maybe we get hired to fly up and get a cat out of a tree. Maybe we have to direct road traffic with our magical light signals. Who knows what assignments we'll get placed in as low ranking magical girls?

This roleplay should be funny but at the expense of our character's boredom and goofing off trying to get some amusement out of their jobs. Although realistic, we're not going for any sad realism, so I'd prefer no dramatic back stories and moping around all day. Some dark humor is allowed, however, such as our characters all dying due to goofing off at the end of the roleplay, if things come to that. A lot of this roleplay might be simple slice of life antics as our characters chat at the office while filing paperwork.

Your character's "resume" (character sheet) can be in any format you desire and doesn't even have to be posted but would be handy so we know who's who. Magical guy characters are possible but very rare and likely made fun of, especially due to magical girl uniforms always of the feminine variety. You don't have to be a magical girl/guy if you don't want to.

This roleplay is just a side project so not my main focus, but feel free to get as involved with this as you guys want and have fun!

I'll fight that character with

Higan, A.S.P operator

Higan (pronounced Hee-gan)

Race: Ramor (prounounced Ra-more) a race with a number of similarities to humans, they are humanoid mammals with the same number of appendages. The only significant differences are that they are more tolerant to temperature extremes and can last for longer periods of time without water, oxygen, food and sleep. Essentially they are an all-round hardier race of people. Their skin is thicker than a humans, and regardless of climate always dark olive in complexion. The average height for males is 5ft and females slightly higher, and their eyes are somewhat larger on average than a humans. Their life spans range around 60-70 years, even with their modern medical technology.

Gender: Male

Age: 28

Height: 5ft 2”

Weight: 80kg

Appearance: Higan has the characteristic dark olive skin of the Ramor, with broad shoulders and a noticeably muscular body. His eyes are green and his hair is buzz cut and dark brown. He has wide friendly features with an honest looking face, though splashes of scarring tend to mar this image somewhat. The scars are small and livid, running across both of his cheek bones in a seemingly random pattern. They came from exploding glass. In his cockpit he wears a simple pilot outfit which is dark green in colour. The technology of the Ramor has allowed them to produce high-durability weave armour, so despite the seeming simplicity of his clothes they provide him with roughly the same protection as a Kevlar vest.

Personality: Course, honest, rough, determined, intelligent, witty, good humoured.

Physical Traits: Higan is physically impressive, though well within human capability. He can bench roughly 300kg and run at 15mph, his extensive endurance training allows him to remain fighting fit for extended periods of time. His senses are roughly similar to a humans, though he has slightly greater vision, especially in low light conditions.

Skills: Higan is a soldier of the 12th Division, a.k.a L.A.S light armour and support. He has been trained for roughly 10 years to become adept at a number of combat orientated skills, namely.
Hand to hand combat
Firearms training
Endurance training
Scout training/Survival training
Ranger/Sniper training
Demolitions
Artillery
Armoured Support Platform (ASP) piloting

Background: Higan is a member of the 12th division of the Grent Republic's Army, a militaristic state in an alternate earth torn asunder by war. He is unmarried, after recently breaking up with his girlfriend and fiancée of three years, he was born in the republic to an officer of the army and found his path marked out for him.

Equipment: A.S.P
14” Steel Combat Knife
.50 calibre revolver, 6 shot chamber, 6 additional rounds.
Survival Kit (first aid, GPS, flare gun, etc.)

Higan’s main combat capabilities are drawn from his A.S.P, or Armoured Support Platform, which is in colloquial terms a one-man mechanical unit with walker capabilities. It looks roughly like the image below.

Reference Picture

A.S.P (130)
The A.S.P is actually in Ramor terms relatively low-powered, serving in a support and scouting role alongside mainline forces.
Height: 12ft
Width: 5ft
Weight: 30 tonnes
Length: 4ft

Armaments: The A.S.P is equipped with primary, secondary and tertiary armaments for a number of different combat scenarios.
Primary: 105mm Rifled A.S.P Gun (basically a tank gun) capable of firing HEAT warheads (similar to 3BK-31) smoke canisters and anti-personel rounds (which fire multiple flechettes). Due to the relatively small storage space for ammunition on the A.S.P 130 it may only carry five of each of these rounds. It can fire roughly twice per minute. Rounds are ejected when spent underneath the barrel through an automatic sliding door.

Secondary: 40mm anti-material rifle, RPM 20, 100 rounds, can be separated from the Mech without breaking, but it weighs just under a tonne and can’t be fired by anything other than the mech.

Tertiary: Anti-Personnel Suppression, Chaingun, .50 cal, 300rpm, 1200 rounds.

Armour: The A.S.P 130 is constructed using plates of titanium sandwiching plates of depleted uranium with alumina tiles worked in (similar to Chobham armour). This gives it a relatively light-weight body while offering significant protection from anti-tank measures. The RHAe values for the armour are as followed.
Front: 800mm
Back: 400mm
Sides: 300mm
Arms: 250mm
Legs: 500mm
Optics: 100mm
Joints: 100mm
Top: 200mm

The Armour is specially designed to resist heat. It does not conduct electricity into the electronics or pilot area. Internal heating systems can adjust for extreme drops in temperature up to -100 degrees, at the cost of hydrogen fuel.

The A.S.P is also equipped with an Active Protection System, which, like modern day tanks, is capable of confusing heat-seeking and other guided missiles with large concentrations of infra-red.

Damage control systems: The A.S.P is equipped with a number of automatic systems similar to those seen in a modern day tank, ammunition is kept in self-contained storage spaces linked to their respective weapon, reducing chance of self-destruction. Fire is automatically fought by internal systems.

Filter System: The A.S.P is essentially a mobile bunker, filtering hostile elements from the air.
Optics: The A.S.P is augmented with an optical sensory unit with a 180 degree depth of view directly in front. This includes a zoom function of up to 60x, night vision, thermal vision, and electric vision. The main weapons are connected to this system and can target and adjust in 0.20 of a second. The pilot still has control over when to fire, and can over-ride targeting systems to manual control if they wish.

Computer System: Linked to Optics, the computer system on the A.S.P can provide the pilot with data based on a rough estimation of a target. It can estimate things like, thickness, speed and weapon calibres.

It has a backup system in place in the case of damage to main optics (which are located roughly where the head would be on a human.) where the armour peels back from directly in front of the pilot’s head, allowing him physical view of around 90 degrees in front through a bullet proof double paned window. This is obviously a major weakness, and is only to be used as a last resort.

Physical Traits:
Strength: The A.S.P only has one available hand unless it abandons its secondary weapon. Regardless, with just the one hand it can lift up to twenty tonnes of weight. The crushing grip of the hand can easily bent metal or destroy rock. The legs of the walker are significantly stronger, capable of lifting up to 50 tonnes of weight each. Though the machine can’t ‘kick’ it can jump up to fifteen feet into the air.

Speed: The A.S.P has been clocked moving at speeds in excess of 70mph, which is impressive for a walker, it is the fastest Armoured Support Vehicle in Ramor. Its acceleration is 7 seconds 0-70 mph.

Agility: The A.S.P is capable of manoeuvring in tight quarters, but regardless its size is still a limiting factor on its agility. Though far less cumbersome than a tank, it takes almost twice as long for an A.S.P to turn around than an ordinary human, it can however adjust its weapons incredibly quickly and its arms can move at roughly human speeds.

Speaker System: The A.S.P may project the pilot’s voice through external speaker systems on the chest plate.
Comm Link: The A.S.P has com links similar to those in use in the modern day military.

Power System: The A.S.P is fuelled by a Ramor speciality, hydrogen gas fuel canisters with an effective life span of 20 hours in active use. They are stored at the rear and bottom of the mech (obviously protected by the back armour) and are roughly 60cm in diameter. They will explode if hit.

Unless he's too strong for you, in which case I may just use Anna again.

@MelonHead

Being specifically designed to resist heat is troublesome for my heat based character to fight. I don't mind loosing battles but it would be best if we did a nonranked if you want this matchup.

Nobody's Character-A-Day!

Name: Kuhra Sharpclaw
Age: 32
Gender: Female
Race: Half Human, Half Ku'Tahl (Half human, half tiger looking race). This makes her more human looking then normal Ku'Tahl and gives her more advantages from certain human traits while still being more physically powerful then normal humans.

Appearance: She's quite large, standing at 6'4'' tall and weights 210 pounds, having a lean, muscular figure. Her body is mostly humanoid but her arms and legs turn tiger-like after the joint, resulting in her hands and feet appearing far more animalistic although still retaining individual fingers and opposable thumbs capable of normal human movement, more or less. Her fingers and toes have large retractable claws that are razor sharp, similar to her fangs. Her body fur becomes more sparse further from the extremities, excluding the tail/groin region. Her fur is dull orange-ish and white in color. Her skin is tan.

Her head hair is black and styled very long and wild, the hair roots extending further down the back of her neck that turns into the orange color of her body hair that makes the tip and the underside of her hair orange. Her eyebrows/lashes are black. She has very little white in her eyes, most of it olive green with flakes of brown and slit black irises. Her ears are more pointed like a housecat and often have multiple golden ring piercings in them. Her facial features are human but with a wild, slightly animalistic look to them, being sharp and threatening.

Personality: She's a sadist who loves toying with her opponents before finishing them off. She can switch between really threatening to adorable at the drop of a hat, loving to play with cute things that shows off the cat side of her personality, although her playing is usually dangerous to others if playing with a live being. She tries to hide her adorable side but is so bad at it that it makes people think she's not being serious. For example, she might deny playing with yarn when people outright saw her doing so moments beforehand. That being said she can be a big, unabashed liar, who almost never admits that she's wrong, always coming up with some excuse or avoiding the situation entirely if she runs out of excuses that even she knows better then to try.

She doesn't handle disrespect well, throwing herself at people, even if higher ranked or more powerful, if she feels like they've taken things too far. Therefore, one can imagine her having a low instinct for self preservation, especially when taking into account her sadist side getting her into a lot of crazy predicaments that have nearly gotten herself killed if not for her high level of toughness both physical and mental.

Abilities

Physical Abilities- She can reach 60 miles per hour and single handedly throw grown men across the room with enough force to kill them upon hitting the wall if they're unlucky. She has an inhumanly high endurance level, making her retain peak physical ability for long periods of time before tiring, lasting a couple of hours in combat situations unless she really overdoes herself. Her durability is also enhanced but less so then her strength, so take enough punches and she would eventually go down even against normal foes.

Her senses of sight, smell, taste, and hearing are 1.5 times more acute then the average human. She also has heightened reactions, night vision and far reduced pain receptors. Unfortunately she might injure herself and not know it as quickly as a normal person would, especially if she gets far too into the fight at hand. Her sense of smell is the most adept at detecting and tracking down blood, sensitive enough to even learn the smell of it's owner. A bleeding target can be detected within half a mile.

Animal Instincts- Some joke that it's just her feminine intuition, she's very good at detecting when something is amiss even if she can't quite place what it is.

Powers

Primal Blood Fury- Similar to adrenaline, this gets released naturally during a fight in smaller quantities but she can willingly release a much larger dose into her bloodstream, boosting her physical abilities (not including senses) by two times, eliminating all sense of pain, and reducing logical reasoning. After the effects run out in around two minutes she crashes down and often faints depending on exertion levels. She can keep fighting through most wounds that wouldn't immediately be debilitating or fatal, even ignoring things like arrows sticking out of her chest and multiple nonfatal gunshot wounds.

Equipment

Clothing: A simple, tattered beige tunic and medieval styled pants cut into shorts.

Armor: She wears sparse armor parts on her body that don't all belong to the same set, scavenged off of defeated opponents. Her shin guards and gauntlets leave her hands and feet exposed for obvious reasons. All of the armor pieces are iron, leather, or steel.

Weapon: A unique ball and chain based magical weapon called Grinder, appearing to be made of steel but 10 times more durable. The ball, in it's base form, weighs 3 pounds and the chain is 20 feet long, the extra length of chain often wrapped up around her belt until put to use. The ball is made up of a container in the inside that can hold materials and bands that are free to rotate around the outside, cutting up material with the sharp edges and absorbing the broken down material inside the ball to increase it's size and mass. It has the power to chip away at steel but cannot make very large cuts even if sharp, making it best at breaking down more fragile targets. The ball can grow as large as 3 feet across and weigh depending on the materials inside. Grinder only grinds when it senses the intent of the wielder to do so or if it feels like it.

Bio

Her people were often hunted by humans so she had a very rough time growing up, living in near constant fear. Due to looking more human she was able to pass as such by wearing disguises and aided by her human father, but her mother would have no such luck. While trying to visit her family during the cover of darkness one fateful night, her husband's "friend" had gotten suspicious and alerted the guards of this possible interloping going on, causing both parents to be captured and executed and Kuhra also hunted down, but she managed to flee thanks to her superior agility and night vision, as well as an intentionally false report on where she ran off too, given by the only kind old man nice enough to help her upon knowing her secret.

While sprinting frantically through the forest, she literally bumped into an unusual adventurer from another world who made the offer of helping her destroy the entire village, save for the old man, a feat which he accomplished within only 8 minutes, leaving hundreds dead. Kuhra was actually glad for once in her life, as glad as she could be after the death of her parents. She decided that she'd follow this man and see if she could experience more of this sweet revenge and attain power she never had before. Noticing her talents at such a young age, he gifted her with one of his treasures, Grinder, a weapon fitting her strength and lack of finesse with her hands, even if they were far better then what normal Ku'Tahl was capable of.
