The War of the Three

So, just to simplify it. Let's make it clear that each faction has a single deployment zone, placed at the limits of the battle field, more or less at the same distance from one another.

The Angels start at in an area with some old tombstones and mausoleums.

The Demons at one of the entrances to the catacombs.

The Machina at a small grove of dead-like tree.

The basilica in the description is more or less at the center of the Graveyard, dominating the area.

Distances are relative as always, let's just say that the battlefield is big enough, so at least a few kilometers wide. I won't really do much more when it comes to distance than this.

PS: Just to make it clear, these base camps have no influence on the battle whatsoever. They are just a logistics convenience. You don't need to hold the fort or anything like this. Though, let's say that there's a faction aligned (non disableable) portal there for anyone who wants to bail out.

The War of the Three

By the way, I added an event log to the 0th IC post.

It'll be properly updated with things to come from now on. Older ones are yet to be seen (depends on how lazy I'm feeling).

The War of the Three

Graveyard of the Lost

---

The place where the souls of the lost ones who aren't granted the boon of eternity wander to, while they wait for their time to be rebirth and, once again serve the lords of the Nexus in their never ending war. A realm of sacred quiet, about to be defiled by the thunderous conflict...

---

The Graveyard of the Lost is the Nexus greatest necropolis, the place where souls waiting to be brought back to life under a new mantle wait for their time. Sometimes, one can spend an eternity at this deadly silent and cold zone. It's no wonder that the spirits of the dead can grow restless and bitter in their chthonic lair. Hell's cold apathy drives them to despair, erasing any semblance of individuality or personality the dead may have, over time leaving only angry grey specters prowling the snowyscape.

It's said that whoever controls this land can gain significant leverage on the War, by having more masses of soldiers be reincarnated on their side. Stories tell of even a favor granted by the Angel of Death for those who come "know her caresses" while they keep the control of the Graveyard. A battle for this key location shall certainly be bloody and harsh. Once can only wonder how many bodies the mysterious Gravekeeper will have to add to their already great quota?

Nothing in the Nexus is ever as easy as it looks. Surely, gain the control of the Graveyard is no exception:

— This will be a simple elimination conflict, a deathmatch, the last Faction standing shall claim the victory.
— There'll be no secret weapons, trump cards or any manner of help from outside sources during the battle.
— Spread through the Graveyard are a large number of ruined mausoleums, tombs, even a maze-like catacombs with entrances and exist hidden around the area, and even a ruined basilica. They can be used for cover, but it's better to check out for traps, as well as any anguished denizens before setting foot on them.
— At any moment, the combatants com be attacked by the Graveyard's inhabitants. The tortured dead seek retribution on any who's not one of them. They cannot be controlled or reasoned with and will attack any who oppose them until destroyed. Once the battle is over, the dead shall quiet themselves once more.

That concludes this battled briefing.

Dropping one more piece of information in case anyone isn't aware of it yet. The battlefield has been decided to be roughly 50km in radius (that is 100 km diameter) centered around the basilica. i.e.: it's a relatively sized piece of countryside terrain turned supernatural graveyard.

Just for comparison's sake, at the standard speed of the sound, Mach 01 (roughly 1250km/h), it takes about two and a half minutes to go from te basilica to anywhere in the battlefield and vice-versa. Use this when you consider how fast you can travel around the area, specially for the people that can fly.

War Notes

Gonna warn you all right now that I have a first batch of college tests next week and I want to focus on catching up on my college work.

@Bushman501

No worries.

Winds of Change: A Re:Creators-Inspired Multiverse RP

So, here's my first pick (probably isn't going to be much of a surprise to some people here):

Hider

• Name:
Takamachi Nanoha, a.k.a. "The White Devil"
• Gender:
Female
• Appearance:
"Zenryoku Zenkai!"
• Personality:
Nanoha is likely one of the most cheerful and friendly persons you can ever meet. She's always willing listen to someone else's problems. Nevertheless, she's as stubborn as a mule, once she puts something on her head, she'll not give up on it, no matter the hardships she has to endure to achieve that goal. She's also, quite hmm... proactive when it comes be it fighting or trying to befriend people. This trait of hers is a reflex of the one time Nanoha failed to stop a crisis before it happened because she took it as game. Ever since that day she vowed to never let that happen again, even at the cost of putting herself at harm's way.
• Brief History:
A self-taught genius that has natural knack for magic unseen in any of the people from her magically backwards homeworld. Nanoha came into contact with the world of magic by accident, after rescuing a wounded animal that happened to be mage from another world. After some contrived circumstances involving a monster attack she joined him —at first unwillingly— on his quest to seal the dangerous relics known as Jewel Seed, one of the many items known as Lost Logia.
It didn't take long for Nanoha to develop an interest on the world of magic, which was only intensified after she met Fate Testarossa, another interdimensional mage. At first, the two of them were rivals fighting for the same objective but with different goals. After 'setting their differences aside', the duo became inseparable friends. Putting an end to the sadness involving their meeting and the Jewel Seed incident.
Soon enough another crisis threatened the very existence of Earth. Nanoha and Fate teamed up again and fought against and together with the source of the crisis. In the end, the world was saved once more. Peace wouldn't last forever, though. At this point one can only wonder what other hardships are waiting them and their friends in the future. Whatever it's Nanoha is ready for it.
• Universe of Origin:
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha — Movies Version
• Equipment:
Intelligent Device: Raising Heart Excelion
• Abilities:
One of the youngest, and certainly one of the most talented, mages to ever achieve the title of Ace, Nanoha is considered a special case even by the most talented authorities of her homeworld. Her abilities as Bombardment magic specialist are second to none, coupled with the ability to fly (a rather rare skill that only the best mages can ever hope to master) and monstrous endurance make Nanoha a foe to be reckoned. She can sustain and dish out damage at a level most others in her world can only dream of achieve. Her heavy focus on ranged attacks, protection and binding spells limit Nanoha's ability to fight in melee range to —really— brute force attacks most of the time, but she's not to underestimated either thanks to her sheer tankiness. The reason why Nanoha has such a focus on endurance is easy to understand, her biggest trump card, the Starlight Breaker, gets progressively more powerful the longer a battle lasts.
• Other:

I'm yet unsure if I'll do a second, but if I do, I have a good idea of who it'll be.

The War of the Three

@Banana

That feels ok. I guess it means that Harpies raised on ships become parrots, probably...

The War of the Three

By the way, I plan to have the next battle begin tomorrow night, so that we can have the whole weekend for a good start. As always, anyone that has hanging interactions by the time it begins can wrap them up and move on to the combat in the same post.

Just leaving this here as a reminder.

Fate/ Transcendent Paradigm (A Fate/GO Based RP) — Take 2!

Atalanta

"I did not know you cared for those sloppy familiars of yours," Atalanta replied to Medea accusations towards her. "Furthermore, that was a greeting shot. The fact that you noticed it means that it worked, am I right?"

As soon as Atalanta noticed Medea losing speed after being hit by her arrow, almost dropping to the ground completely, she tensed up becoming a blur of motion. The feline archer demonstrated once more why she was named the fastest Heroic Spirit of the Age of the Gods, closing the gap between her and Medea in the blink of an eye. Atalanta pounced at Medea, trying to pin her to the ground, if only for long enough for the Witch to listen to her.

Whether she succeeded or not, Atalanta would follow the take down attempt by saying "You know just as well as I do that, if I wanted to kill you I would have done so all the way from Colchis. Do you really think that you could avoid all of my shots, if I wanted you dead? Now, are you going to tell me what are you doing here or not, Medea?" Even then, Atalanta was ready to any form of treachery coming from Medea. If the Witch attempted to take her down with a cheap shot or draw Rule Breaker, the leonine archer was ready to dodge and counter at a moment's notice.

Now that everything is cleared, I'll have a post coming up to this weekend.
