Arena FAQ/Advice

All superhero-esque characters that I use are from stories where pretty much everyone has superpowers. Keezheekhoni the Aspect of Phlogiston, Madelyn Boyd the Concrete Maiden, Martin "The Man" Montgomery, and many others all exist in my second universe. The superhero comic book fantasy world.

Generally that's how I prevent extremely cheesy back stories.

The Hot Headed, Heavy Hitters, Have it Out (Fury vs Kanitah, Round 2)

After pretty thoroughly reading and rereading the post, I noticed only one thing preventing it from being possible. By suspending his upper body and giving Kanitah the freedom to roll, Fury's legs have no real resistance to Kanitah's persisting leg vice. Lifting himself info the air would have the negative effect of slamming Fury into the ground as Kanitah rolls with him.

Though Fury tried to disentangle his legs you did state that it would not work if the leg lock continued. And with the inside control that he currently has, Kanitah wouldn't release or even relinquish any of his grip.

The Hot Headed, Heavy Hitters, Have it Out (Fury vs Kanitah, Round 2)

I'll figure it out before I get home from work.

The Hot Headed, Heavy Hitters, Have it Out (Fury vs Kanitah, Round 2)

Beads of sweat rolled down Kanitah's neck as the struggle persisted. Was this all that Fury had amounted to? A clingy leech that wanted nothing more than dinner and a movie? He knew that Fury was insane, but this was just pathetic! If he wanted a snack, he was going to have to fight for it.

Howling with frustration as he did so, Kanitah continued forcing his legs inward and twisted his shoulders and core muscles to his right. Then his left, continuing to rock back and forth.

With Fury's weight shifted, it would be an easy task for the hero to roll over on top of him. Putting Kanitah into the mounted position and turning him from the defensive to the offensive.

It's an option of Range and Melee, that's why the blasts and strength aren't equal. The radiation isn't an issue unless it's consumed.

Also I literally stated, at the beginning of the post.

Read the conditions.

Nah, the reason my characters are stronger is because of animated superhero stuff. Tends to be a lot more high powered stuff. Though to be fair, all of the powered characters I have demonstrated in the Arena are exactly that.

Powered.

Most of my characters aren't powered, though many aren't human in ability. Because most of my characters aren't human. 'Bout 90% of my characters are aliens, robots, or alternate dimension humans. Makes for better storytelling.

@Rilla
I actually started on Omegle, testing out various characters in a preset arena. Gauging what is and isn't acceptable for a character there. Then I went on to some Chatzy rooms, and when the rooms that I went to were either shut down or filled with trash roleplayers I gave up. It was another year before I found RPG, and I decided that Forum based roleplay was where I should head next.

I've always preferred combat centric roleplay though, I'll be honest.

I guess I'll be the first to post my character sheet.

For me it's training, despite what some people like to say, people who are extremely well trained can pull feats of seemingly superhuman nature without having any superpowers.

Such as dodging a bullet, catching a cannonball with your gut, or resisting the blade of a spear with your core muscles.

Even though these things have been done in real life by real people, if you do it in character as anyone who doesn't have superhuman abilities, you're a shitlord and everyone complains.

Basically, what it breaks down to from what I've seen, is that training is used as a metric for how much better of a fighter you are than anyone else. And that's the end of training.
