RPGuild Ranked Tournament

@MelonHead Oh Melon, you around?

ImportantNobody vs. LeeRoy NoW Rnd 1

So the man revealed himself rather than attempting a surprise attack. At least he had some balls. Or rather a giant metal ball that he was clearly threatening to use as a weapon should she advance into his range. Thanks to her ki her diamond could withstand blunt force impacts far better than normal diamond could, which would fracture instantly despite its very high level of hardness, but heavy impacts was still the best option to break through her enhanced diamond defenses. She'd have to be careful in blocking with a diamond sword of the thickness that she had created unless he was only of normal human strength, but she couldn't count on that until she had more information. That should be her first priority against a strange new opponent. She could tell he would agree with her based on the way his unusual eye was searching over her entire body.

She showed no signs of discomfort over this, only shifting her weight nonchalantly onto her right leg, her left leg bent slightly, and her sword, now firmly in her grasp, was lowered to point towards his chest. The first reason this was no big deal was that it was a battle, so of course your opponent would look you over if they had any common sense. Second, she was completely comfortable with herself, exuding a ton of confidence in her gaze, so had nothing in the slightest to be shy about. She never got what the big deal was about all that embarrassment stuff, but perhaps some people just weren't as confident as she was. This line of thinking reminded her of that dragon girl she met earlier. Perhaps they had more in common then what she might have originally thought?...yeah, no.

"Odd you say that, seeing how we both must have seen plenty of women in the great hall," Ruchette countered. "Or are you just making useless comments to try and upset me?" She let out a little, sophisticated sounding giggle, like that of a noblewoman. "The odds of you facing one was around 30% or so...now what are your odds of winning here, I wonder?"

As she spoke she held out her left hand towards him as well, a jagged diamond chunk forming in the palm. After a second of forming what would amount to around a handful of diamond, she began to charge it in preparation to turn potential energy into kinetic and fire it off. It would glow white while charging and would be as powerful as an average pistol after a second; not as powerful of a bullet the size of her diamond, but the diamond of this size having the same overall power that the much smaller bullet would have. It wouldn't be as good at penetration due to it's larger size, but that wasn't a big deal. What she was really wanting to do was test his abilities. Should he do nothing different during this time then she'd fire it off towards his center of mass. Should he try to do something then she may need to hold on to it a bit longer to use as a countermeasure.

I think I'll get my post done in around 10 minutes.

By the way, in response to an earlier comment, she's not as much of an adrenaline junky as trying to find meaning and worth. Getting this through fighting others is all she knows.

Nexus of Worlds- Darkness Rising- A Guild Tournament

Maybe, maybe not. Someone should get creative soon, points can decide a match.

@Skallagrim

Creative hiding and creative standing isn't enough? Blasphemy!

Nexus of Worlds- Darkness Rising- A Guild Tournament

Yeah I realised that after I went back to the menu and found that thread not even close to done.

My bad. Derp.

@DJAtomika

She'll win if Shin keeps lurking around all the whole time like a creepy...creep!

Wait, isn't Ruchette all about having a worthy challenge, or a challenge in general. She seems to be something of an adrenaline junky almost. If that's the case, maybe she has some subconscious limiters on her ability. Like things she just wouldn't think to do even though she's certainly creative and intelligent enough to do so. She have things she doesn't do because it'd make finding people she can actually fight even harder than it already is for her. She'd not even be aware that she has these tendencies either so you don't have to really worry about her suddenly changing her mind unless she's really pushed into a corner.

Making thick full body armor could be one of those things.

@yoshua171

That would be a good enough excuse for this tournament. She'd have to get serious after discovering the true power that people can possess, which may include her diamond armor. She got beat real bad by one guy in her backstory but her armor wouldn't have done anything based on how fast she lost, so it wouldn't have spured her into developing such a power.

I think one Marvel villain subconciously foils all of his own plans, so it's kind of like that.

I see it being fair if it was standard thickness armor. Of course anyone could wear armor like that without being OP. However, if the volume of her body was all placed outside of her body as surface area...that could get a little crazy.

EDIT: I was also thinking personality, although wearing a giant suit of diamond armor would be epic for most people. Hmm...

Nexus of Worlds- Darkness Rising- A Guild Tournament

Thinking about her abilities further, I see nothing besides time that would stop her from unloading all of her diamond into an iron man-like suit. That seems op, so I'll have to come up with some reason why she doesn't.

I'm glad we had this conversation. It makes me feel more like they're equals haha. I feel like we could have a reasonable fight and I wouldn't feel like it was hopeless now, which is important because my mental state influences how I write/fight/think.

Thank you for having this conversation with me.

@yoshua171

Your welcome.

Equals yet very different, so it could go any way from one simply crushing the other into oblivion or being a close match depending on the slightest opening.
