Auto correct is literally hitler.


Did he get turned into an AI after the war?

In any case I have some more stuff to work with so my post should definitely be ready tomorrow night.
@Skallagrim
Any word on your return, or have you gone again?

If I don't get a reply in three days I'll message the others and we'll continue with caveat to work out General Freedom from the fight.


Debris falls into the hole he's in and knocks him unconscious down into it. Every time he starts to regain consciousness, some random object gets knocked down into the hole again and hits him on the head. It culminates in Evvie getting knocked into it and landing on him, knocking them both out. In his dreams he's getting sat on by a dragon.
Name: Alexander Weppler
Picture:


Height: 5’8”
Weight: 142

Abilities & Skills: He’s very nimble and has quick reflexes, accounting for his trademark of slipping past enemy defenses to take advantage of weak points or run away if little chance of victory exists. He’s physically fit in all areas thanks to daily workout but is better at speed than raw strength. He doesn’t have bulging muscles, but instead a well toned and slender body to show for this.

He’s well trained with a dagger and short sword as well as hand to hand combat of a style similar to street fighting; nothing fancy, just trying to get the job done. He’s not above fighting dirty and is good at improvising weapons such as scooping up rocks or dirt to throw at the opponent’s face. He’s skilled at baseball, being a popular player in high school, and such skills lend it’s support here.

Equipment: Dagger and short sword (24 inches long) on his belt of a material similar to steel in strength. Not your average medieval weapon, they were forged with all the modern advancements as well as spiritual processes making it powerful against special monsters found in his setting, although this boost is irrelevant against other humans. His clothing has fibers within protecting from monsters, but this too is irrelevant here.

Optional Flavor Text: From the setting he came from there exists monsters which invade earth from another realm. Although largely cloaked in secrecy, the fact that monsters exist is a known fact. Certain families often contribute to the cause of fighting against them throughout the generations, training their children from a young age to fulfill their duty. Alexander was adopted into one such family after his parents fell victim to a monster attack.

He's assigned to participate in this tournament for training.

How are the sheets coming along?


I am hoping to get it done tonight

Technically true! However, a hundred-foot-long spear would be absolutely useless as a weapon. The thing would have to either be too heavy to move, or have a shaft so thin it would snap like a twig.

If you want to hit someone a hundred feet away with a spear, you use a javelin.


I thought of a funny application for the technicallity of the power. If she created a long enough spear she could stab the moon and crawl up it if she was wearing a spacesuit...and if the spear with thick and strong enough to support it. I don't think that's troll science, it would just have to stick in good, I think. But perhaps it would get torn out no matter what from the forces of its orbit, like if the moon material isn't tough enough.

Or she could create a weapon large enough to create its own gravity on par with a planet or even a black hole, but I'm just taking things to extremes here.

Now she could create weapons too large to wield effectively but use other creative applications for them, but this power you have is perfectly fine and balanced to me if she uses it in the intended purpose.

This sounds fine, look forward to seeing your sheet, your opponent is ready.


Okay.

This will likely be my worst fight since I'm not a master at realistic combat styles so will have to try and win through overall strategy rather than combat technique. I hesitate giving any character any sort of advanced martial art, otherwise they would look like a fool doing something not within the style. One reason it's taking forever to come up with modern character. Hopefully his pointy sword will help him out.

Edit: @Drifting Pollen

I trust you and all, but according to the character sheet it seems like she could create a hundred foot long spear. Just throwing that out there.
This just turned into LeeRoy's thread.

Obadiah isn't gonna stand up to a whole lot by himself. He makes for a good distraction in a team, but he lacks stopping power. That kinda limits my options on who to fight.

I could bring in a much more powerful villain and see how far I get?


Fighting Evvie does generally require significant stopping power unless he sneaks around and "cheats". Bringing in a powerful villain to help could work or Obadiah could get a buff like he allies with deadly spiders who were crawling around somewheres.

And example of his cheating could be putting spiders in the cake that the heroes are baking in the castle and they could attack from the inside of the spider avoid getting bitten on the way down. That wouldn't be much of an arena battle though. The spiders dodging chomping teeth with spider sense would be quite the unusual fight.
So close-ish to realistic, based on being fine with a chi blocker you mean the character themselves and not the setting? I came up with a relatively low powered setting where people are tasked with fighting monsters that secretly invade earth. They use spiritual magic but he's not in tuned, still in training, so basically just fights like a normal human with some weak telekinetic bursts like a simple shove if he concentrates super hard. They use special weapons able to take them out but no more powerful against humans than normal swords and whatnot.
Lalliman versus 100 characters. The gauntlet begins!!!@Lalliman

Or we could claim your guy got separated, glance over the other battles, and have your characters fight in the matches you are most looking forward too. He might have trouble on some of them but who knows.
