Is there a sort of 'pony express' kind of system in this world?

@The Wanderer

They use trains mostly. Unless it was a secret message that they only wanted one courier for and limiting access to it.

Name
Baron Ajax Von Leroufe-DeCroy

Alias
Mr.President, President of the Fay'Ran Jik Democracies

Gender
Male

Age
22

Race
Second to come to sentience on the home world, Krieg evolved from the usual primate mammal. The Krieg are a sad race. They were evolved on the sorry piece of land under the main continent. This land was filled with highly dangerous diseases, poisonous gas and killer inhabitants. The Krieg now wear their suits permanently, out of remembrance of the strife and war of their home land.

They are a cold, vicious race with short lives. They usually live for only 20 years before dying of the overwhelming amount of poisons in their bodies, only the most foolhardy and wilful can go past 20. Attempts to fix this has failed tremendously as the poisons are now part of their genome. This makes them the most able to adapt and overcome out of all the races on the home world. They are humanoid in shape and the only real difference they have appearance wise to the human race is that their race has purple skin and their eyes are pure white.

Their language is literally hell. A conglomerate of words that really do not fit together, words that mean the same but are said in specific sentences, words that are supposed to be whole paragraphs worth of text, it is a translators nightmare.

Appearance:
Ajax is one of military descent, that being presented in the way that he dresses and looks. He is 6'7 and has a swimmers build, buff but more streamlined instead of being a muscle monster. He has sky blue hair, combed back of course, and has eyes as white as the clouds in the sky. He has a small goatee and his head is a little slim. His face is wrinkled and callous, because of his age and because of the horrors that he has seen. Ajax is one of the few Krieg that leave skin to be exposed to the outside. His face is left to the outside and is tattooed with the spread winged falcon, the insignia of the Democracies. Coupled with the usual Krieg suit, he is suited up with a heavy, bulletproof trench coat. It bears his insignias, medals and the words "PRESIDENT" in gothic writing on his back. He has a Storage Displacement Chamber, an experimental piece of technology, inserted into his right wrist. It is not visible to the naked eye but whenever he needs to equip himself with his weapons, his whole arm glows a bright blue.

Personality:
The Baron is a wilful man, strong hearted and believes in the policies of the Democracies. He believes in freedom and life above all else. He is a down to earth man, believing in what he believes and sticking to it. When he is threatened or insulted however, Ajax is not one to hold back punches. Or bullets. He hates the corrupt and those who beat on the poor. He believes that all sentients are equal and doesn't like slavery. He is the ultimate example of Democracy. He is no doubt brave and respected by his fellow countrymen. To leave skin exposed is a sign of power in Krieg, and of course, Democracies society.

Abilities
Unfortunately for the Krieg, he does not have any magic space wizardy powers. He is just a normal alien who fights to survive and shoots well to boot. The Baron does have a strong willpower for he is the most wisest in the Democracies. He does know Ta'k Fu, the only martial art that has really been kept alive in this day and age. It is standard across the whole of the Democracies Army Corps and is a mixture of Eskrima, Muay Thai and Krav Maga in our world. It is the only martial art that is practised, so the Baron mastered it. Almost perfected it. He wanted to aim for excellence, so excellence he did.

Equipment
Slavery's Redemption more commonly known as the "45. Cal Rifle" is the standard Rifle of the Peacekeeping Forces and is the Barons most loved and personal weapon. With a standard magazine holding 20 rounds, each of which is lethal enough to kill a man with one shot. It only has one mode and that is semi-automatic. It is a compact, lightweight rifle that when given to the Heavy Troopers, can actually be duel wielded. It's compact design is for urban combat, which is the specialty of the Templars that use it. The Baron customised his with a holographic scope with thermal imaging, a silencer, a bayonet and an underslung grenade launcher. The words Slavery's Redemption is etched into the rifle, along with scratch marks from the Ly'Nus Campaign and the First Contact War.

Salvation more commonly known as the "KMG" and is the Baron's secondary. This is another new piece of technology from the long line of Karasniko LMG's. The mechanism is similar to the Death Ray except that it spits bullet like laser rounds with. Instead of a continuous stream of las, it fires spits of it. This means more control of where the las goes and if it's destructive power is used effectively. The KMG is much heavier than the rest of the Peacekeeping arsenal. It can only be used by the Heavy Troops. The Baron has customised his with a chainsaw attachment and a holo sight scope. The words Salvation is written on the side of the gun, along with similar scratch marks as Redemption.

Fay'Ran Jik pattern Standard Disassembling Beam Pistol more commonly known as "Death Ray" is a new line of weapon of the Fay'Ran Jik pattern. Since the development of AI and the founding of "Smart Metal" in the Lin'Ar system, a new generation of weapons have been created. This pistol has a core in the back of the weapon that "disassembles" the weapon while firing, cooling the weapon at the same time. It is a very complicated mechanism and only scientists and engineers can understand it. It fires a continuous beam of laser, kind of accurate and is devastating in the battlefield. It also melts most metals, therefore effective against Tanks and such. The Baron has gotten a new one since he wrecked his old Death Ray. He has not named this one yet.

His Presidency's Mighty Blade more commonly known as the "Gladius" is the standard melee weapon of the Democracies Military and is as loved by Ajax as the Redemption. Rugged, reliable and the longevity of a Millenia, it has served the Democracies since the day of it's founding, almost 750 years ago. Made from the golden metal called Sigma which is commonly found in vast asteroid fields and ore planets. You sharpen a refined piece of this metal and it will become the sharpest, lightest and reliable blade in Democracies history. Mighty was given to him by his dying father, on the battlefield of Mo'Zaa. It shines with a golden shine and looks as new as a sword not one day old.

His Presidency's Powerful Scupythe more commonly known as the "Ta'Ur Kut Scythe", is the trophy weapon of every high ranking officer in the Democracies Military forces. Given to them when they reach Templar Officer or Flag Bearer, this weapon is not only ornamental. Made from the same metallurgy of a fighter's armour, this weapon is kept and treated as a trophy by most officers but still use it in battle. It kills most in one swipe and is dangerous in the melee that most Templars enjoy. The Scythe is duel wielded with Mighty of the situation is indeed dire.

@SgtEasy

I am uncertain if I should allow the bio. I extended the deadline once to allow for people to work their stuff into their schedule. There are even people that gave up writing up a new character to meet the deadline.

What I will do is any accepted participant can PM me any objections they might have to allowing a character past the deadline.

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>

Well, he said that to Tuuj. So, I'm not sure if he meant that also to everyone else or just Tuuj specifically.

@Altered Tundra

You are fine. Just be cautious with how intricately you can control the flame aura.

RPGuild Ranked Tournament

If everyone who has been accepted could please post their characters in the character's tab, I would greatly appreciate it. I can then start making the match ups for Round 1.

All approved characters should be placed in their by tomorrow 8 May 2015 by 6:00 pm EST.

The map will be released at that time.

RPGuild Ranked Tournament

Also , with projectiles at 250fps, that'll give like, a turn of reaction time? Or like is dodging the first action they have to do to avoid the shot before they do anything else.

@Bartimaeus

Depends on how they do their post. It isn't definite on how many posts a second is.

RPGuild Ranked Tournament

Sounds fair, thanks Innue.

@Bartimaeus

This honestly actually is helpful for something with one of my other threads in which I have a spell/moveset that uses portals. I'd been uncertain on some ways to tune balance on it before this.

RPGuild Ranked Tournament

Going to add in one more set of changes to the portals.

They are unstable for the first few seconds of creation, so there is a slight delay of a second for when you catch a foreign object before it exits out of the other end of the portal. After the first few seconds, they can pass instantly. This would not apply to your own abilities and weapons.

RPGuild Ranked Tournament

For the portals: max didtance away from caster is 100 ft. In this range it can be opened anywhere Dmitri pleases, but cannot be in a pestilence, touching another object, or inside another player. Dmitri gains 1 charge in his savior arm evrytime it is hit with magic or a enchanted/magic weapon. He can open 2 portals per charge and stpre up to 2 charges, but can only ppen 2 portals at once. While the portald can open 100 feet from Dmitri, they must be atleast 70ft from eachother. The screens travel about 30ft.
The rocket pad can be attached to almost any solid surface, including flesh. So this can basically attach to something and send it flying at about 25fps. So Ex: User1 attaches the rocket pad to a weak pillar then presses the button. -TURN 2- the rocket pad activates and sends the pillar flying. Lightning scroll summons natural lightning from the nearest cloud to target location.
For the arm: when you say nullified AoE, here's an example: lets say a peice of paper(AoE atk) is flying at you, if you do an overhead slash(chop) with a knife(arm), it cuts it in half, now the width of the knife(arm) that touched the paper is destroyed, and the rest of it countinues to come at you. So its basically cutting the AoE in half, and taking a chunk the size of his arm out of it, making it a slightly smaller attack, reducing the damage done to Dmitri. (Bigger AoEs will be affected less while smaller ones will be effected more. I will however change this upon request.
Zip ties: yes they are actually zip ties like the ones used by bounty hunters and terrorists for makeshift handcuffs( i chose them cause its unexpected and there's no key.

@Bartimaeus

I'm going to say the lightning from lightning scroll can only move on the same movement restrictions of 250 fps. There will have to be a short delay from when it is activated to when it strikes (a second or two at least) and starts from at least 200 feet above the opponent.

The portals are fine, but they cannot be placed within 10 feet of an opponent. There is too much potency in allowing that with a high speed ability, especially given it has defensive properties as well.

The arm is fine as long as it doesn't completely nullify AoE magic.

RPGuild Ranked Tournament

Apologies. I've been on the phone for the last two hours. I will post the map within the next two hours.

RPGuild Ranked Tournament

@Vordak It's exceptionally potent used properly without it. I can give it a pass, given the rest of your abilities aren't too overbearing.

@Tuujaimaa If you've made the additional changes I've requested (upping the symbols of Fuujin to various abilities), you should be good to go.
