I'd only find out if someone challenges me with the character.

Arena Chat Thread

You would think people could come up with at least one character that they can use.

She's tough in physical damage (and emotionally but not relevant to this). A ton of poisons wouldn't care about her healing factor and durability so would effect her the same as an unenhanced human with some added weaknesses to poisons that are effecive against dragons, should they exist. She would develop a resistance to neurotoxins and other stuff no sooner than a human would, and I don't see many people developing effective resistances any time soon. Just make sure you don't botch it the first time and get a lethal amount in.

Arena Chat Thread

Of course, her getting poisoned so much she developed resistance to most of them is a possibility too.

@Alphakoka

It would be hard to get herself poisoned that much without dying first.

1. Loli refers specifically to little girls, and on that note I am not fond of the idea of seeing Evvie as a man.

2. Sabotage! In the HQ it is very easy to poison Evvie while she feasts.

@Crazy Scion

1. That art will come eventually but I seriously need to focus on getting my other characters drawn up first. She will be a muscleman in a speedo. I know she would turn bishonen in the above conversation but it would be funnier this way.

2. No! One of her many weaknesses has been discovered! Curses!!!

Nah, full humiliation. EVERYONE gets to be bishonen but the bishonen.

just the coughing, sneezing and fever are already very distracting mid-combat. There's also hallucinating. Plenty of other options to take. I mentioned infusing drinks and food with the magic, that's where the diarrhea came in.

@Alphakoka

So I guess my male characters would become the elite loli squad. That sounds hilarious if such a squad existed. So loli characters would turn to guys, albeit pretty guys? Given how girls tend to love bishonen this might be a dream come true rather than humiliation.

As Evvie found out. Drinks and good would not come into play during battle unless the person getting poisoned agrees to have it happen out of battle and effect them for the next battle.

The word you are looking for is Shota. What if the weapon he is looking to break is highly volatile or super durable?

@Crazy Scion

That's it.

There's a limit to his destructive power even if the weapon could theoretically destroy anything given the right hands (an insanely powerful being of pure destructive instinct or something). He cannot destroy the other magical weapons in his setting (he would not want too) so that means most special weapons are safe unless they are stated not to be magically protected to be super durable. I imagine if it's not at least 20 times more durable than steel than it's going down for the count but I haven't thought up the exact amount because he could likely destroy any material humans can realistically produce. One website says graphene is 100 times stronger so he might be more in that range.

If a weapon is not a solid form it only destroys the little parts he hits but his violent burst attack could destroy all of it as usual.

Hey, that's an idea. A char whose ability turn their opponent to a bishonen (or, if they already are, a loli).

@Alphakoka

Wouldn't loli only apply to girls? I think there was another turn for boys. Getting turned into an underage girl would certainly be a drawback unless they kept all of their other characteristics (in which case it would now be advantageous due to their small size). Being bishonen wouldn't harm them at all as far as I can tell unless it takes away their muscles for some reason. However, a lot of bishonen characters are really good fighters in anime (if it's that type of anime).

Unrelated to current topic: I am debuting a new character soon, still writing the sheet though. He will be similar in concept to my first arena character, Cho, but I will need a specific sort of opponent for him.

Unranked, of course.

Opponent must be able to weaponise fire to a degree.

Any takers?

@DJAtomika

I have plenty of fire type characters. It seems odd that he could only fight such characters, though, unless you just want to test a specific weakness of his or something.

<Snipped quote by Alphakoka>

Sounds fine to me. May run into an issue with people who have that immunity and you basically telling them it can fuck off. XD.

Though if its charged enough, it may override it. Sort of like putting too much energy in something meant to hold it. Eventually it'll reach capacity and won't be ass effective or work.

@Rilla

My thoughts. How fast does it go? I imagine like a volleyball as well. Also, not too sure how many people would be willing to give their character diarrhea.

@ImportantNobody Well he seems like a pretty interesting guy. He definitely is not someone to be trifled with in close quarters, but given he is actually a really nice guy. I wondered if he is the type that would try not to kill his opponent if possible.

@Crazy Scion

Exactly. Most of the time when he hits people he's not focused on pure destruction, just obliterating their weapons and knocking them out with regular attacks if he can help it. If he's fighting a serious threat where his normal attacks wouldn't be enough than he'd have no choice but to risk further harm to them.

Arena Chat Thread

Here's my latest character (who I've been talking about). He's a professional fighter (I guess he does get paid for it a bit since he doesn't really have another job) and his weapon is more varied than I originally had planned so he can be played to my fullest extent (but I'll still loose to MelonHead). For some reason I wanted him to be named something like Maid. Don't know why. That's another thing I do a lot, make up tons of weird names. And make the guys bishonen.

His destructive capacity can be adjusted greatly depending on who he's fighting. However, most of the time he can at least destroy steel. He can basically topple any building by knocking some beams out, so beware.

Nobody's Character-A-Day!

Name: Maide Wenders
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance: He has unsaturated purplish brown hair styled like he could fit inside a typical anime, his bishonen good looks matching this (although often with bandages and other battle damage on him that covers up this fact). He has an athletic body and is of Caucasian appearance.

Personality: He tries to act like a tough guy whenever out in public, although his true personality is very kind and he's honestly not the best at pretending when his kindness gets the better of him or he simply doesn't know how to look tough besides stereotypical stuff. This makes him a male version of a tsundere, one who acts cold and even when they are nice they try to pretend that they aren't doing so for the sake of the person they are nice too, making up excuses for himself such as helping out a woman from being robbed by saying he found the guys loud and annoying so shut them up so he could concentrate. Most people around him for any length of time are not fooled in the slightest by his act, especially when he's always trying to help out others in need "coincidentally". He loves cats and other fluffy animals but only in secret, of course.

Abilities

Physical Abilities- His reactions are inhumanly swift and his physical abilities over what normal humans are capable of, allowing him to run up to 45 miles per hour for extended periods of time and knock grown men across the room with a single kick.

Fighting Style- He rough houses his opponents into submission with quick, violent bursts of attacks, mostly from his punches if he's serious (due to his primary weapons on them). Although this is the area he specializes in, don't underestimate his ability to kick, grapple, and other useful fighting techniques that he picked up during his many street fights, offering great real world applications as well as practice in a dojo growing up for more clinical precision than his fighting style first suggests. In fact, if people think he's just a brute throwing punches haphazardly than they will be in for an awful surprise. He's capable of taking on a more subdued fighting style when the situation calls for it.

Intellect- He's above average in intelligence and an extremely quick thinker. However, he's far more blind when it comes to being a people person. For example, when not in a fight he has trouble reading how people feel and what could be considered cool or not.

Equipment

Clothing: He prefers a plain white t-shirt, jeans, heavy duty Velcro strap boots, and a leather jacket that only goes halfway down his torso and is usually left open.

Godbeater: This pair of weapons (which he named himself to try and sound cool/tough) looks like black brass knuckles with purple runes on them. They feed off of the wielder's destructive urges in order to increase their own destructive power if they are properly in sync. Although not sentient like how we view it, they can tap into a person's emotional state and grow alongside them, not bringing about it's full potential to just anyone even if they're feeling destructive at the moment. It takes a special someone who's lifestyle is a good fit for the weapon in order to do so. However, as such people are generally villains, it's difficult to entrust someone with this weapon who wouldn't abuse it's power and still retain a high level of power.

In the right hands they can become powerful enough to destroy almost anything upon contact but can also destroy the user as well if they let it get the better of them, even if not taking things nearly to that extreme. Not only that but if the user doesn't have control then the weapon will always destroy things upon contact rather than only upon intent to do so. Very few people can hope to wield it to any extent without these problems showing up sooner rather than later. This is another major disadvantage to using them even if the person is destructive enough to properly bring about it's power.

Besides it's standard attack requiring touch, he has another one he likes to call "Violent Burst". It can also unleash a spherical burst of transparent purple energy in all directions around the weapon for a max radius of eight feet, the purple runes glowing for a second before activating. What it does is similar to the standard attack yet obviously covers more range, which is incredibly important for destroying things like fire where you can't simply punch fire. Only one of the pair needs to activate this power to use it and each of the pair can only do so once in an hour. After using this power it weakens the abilities of the weapon by about 40% for the first minute and recovers at a rate of 10% for every minute afterwards. A more powerful use of this ability is clanging both in the pair together and activating them both at once, unleashing a burst that covers twelve feet and is twice as potent.

The final attack he can do with them, this time a longer range one, is what he calls "Destructo Sphere". The runes glow as they charge up, only one needing to do so at once (but both can) and the attacks cannot be combined in power between the pair like Violent Burst. After 5 seconds of charge time the spheres he can shoot out (after punching in the direction the sphere shall travel) are as big as a human head, have a speed of 30 miles per hour, a max distance of 50 feet before dissipating (lasting just over a second), and a power output of that of his normal melee attacks. For every additional second of charge time it gains 5 feet of travel distance and +10% power up to 10 seconds of additional charge time before it no longer has any benefit. The exact same as Violent Burst, his weapons temporarily lose their power afterwards.

Bio

He was born into a world in a state of rivalry between different "families" that are in charge of safeguarding different magical weapons, everyone in the family brought up to wield their specific weapon in times of need as they are generally the only ones who can use it effectively so it falls onto their shoulders. People are not only born into it but they can join the family if they are approved by the leader. The Wenders family only had Maide as the last living heir born into it, the family being in a state of decline after his other two brothers perished due to misuse of the weapon they had been entrusted with, a weapon similar to brass knuckles known as Vurtuln. Maide didn't attend classes very much after that incident and the other members became very bitter of him being chosen to wield Vurtuln as a result of the incident, believing that they deserved it far more and it was unfair that Maide got it just because he was born.

However, he truly inherited them because he was the only one who was the least corruptible of it's power, as evident by the other members vehement complaining, a ploy his father used to see how they would react before truly deciding on the heir. Maide also had potential to develop an incredible sync with the weapon as long as he changed his personality to better fit the task he had been given, his good side keeping it in control all the while. This strike of balance was the only way his father saw of keeping the weapons, and their family, in check rather than leading to even greater destruction. Some of the other members saw how well he grew with them and accepted why he was the heir although others quit in a rage, a few even trying to kill Maide for the weapon.

As the heir he participated in various matches with heirs of other families, sometimes winning, sometimes loosing, but always improving on himself to reach far greater heights than any thought possible. He's now considered among the top fighters.
