Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

@Lugubrious Lugu! Point cost for previous Rocket Booster upgrade, but with sustained flight capabilities?

@Lucius Cypher

Sustained flight would be another 7, I want to say. With defense, firepower, and mobility, Gren would have no weakness.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

I'm not necessarily in favor of tag battles this time. Next time I think we will, however.

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

Invisible Man and I are working on something. We'll try and speed it up and post it when you're finished.

Nobody has replied to Fleo's recent questions yet.

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay (Rebooted)

Astarte won't let Roxan leave Galbar >:) She has plans for her!

@Frettzo

Well, Escre would only be inviting her. I doubt she'd agree anyway, but if she did, Roxan would be choosing for herself, and she'd have a god and two demigods on her side. Astarte would have to do mean things to Roxan to prevent her, in that case.

Not that any of that's likely to pass. Escre was more heading that way to say hello than anything else.

@Vec
@Inuyasha

In a little while, would you be alright with a Collab? I was thinking that after Eroneus and Ull'yang do their own thing for a little while, Escre would gather them, bring them with it to speak to Roxan, and then head off to finish fixing the Astral Home before beginning their great space adventure.

Well, considering that one of Gren's weakness is his general lack of controlled mobility, I'd say pretty effective. While he's certainly not sluggish (As I keep saying, get into melee range and you can see just how fast he can swing The God Eater) he does lack the ability to keep up with most speedsters. With the rocket boosters that ought to give him a burst of speed to close the distance, as well as make his God Eater assisted flight more manageable. And of course there are other uses of the rocket boosters too: He can direct and adjust their angles freely, allowing them to be turned into anti-personal flame throwers by aiming the exhaust towards his opponent. If he can Friction Stick them over the exhaust, and he'll BBQ them.

That being said, these rocket boosters alone won't be enough to grant him full on flight, considering his weight. Maybe slow his decent or boost his jumps. But less so if they have to resist the force of shooting The God Eater, since the recoil alone turns him into a kinetic missile if he's not firmly rooted to something solid. Though I would also like him to eventually upgrade to what will essentially become a jetpack, and I'm willing to pay additional upgrades if necessary.

@Lucius Cypher

I think that would be a 7 then.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

That reminds me! Lugu, how much is an upgrade for Gren to have Rocket Boosters on his body? they're to help him steer when he moved around using his Semblance as well as aerial mobility. I think I have 9 credits for Gren's mission and GMing two other ones? Plus some more from contest, which I think adds up to about 13

@Lucius Cypher

How much would it increase his combat effectiveness?

<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>

I could...

Hmm, know what, I think I will.

@Scarifar

Good man!

<Snipped quote by Sho Minazuki>

Sapphire could. She's fast and for all intensive purposes can make herself invisible.

Lug are we fighting all at once? There was that thing at the end about facing multiple opponents.

Also what do you think of tag team battles for combat class.

@Prince of Seraphs

No, that's just the other team, made of Akashi, Violet, and Amber.

We could indeed to tag battles, or team battles. Does @anyone else want to do that?

Basically, find your partner, start a collab, invite me so that I can give my approval and add some comments from Goodwitch, and then post the collab whenever. The deadline for this ordeal is as of yet undetermined, but will certainly not be longer than two weeks.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

I think I'm pulling out too. I'm not satisfied with my character anymore. Bye.

@Scarifar

That's something you can fix by making a new character, you know.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Abel Fulgurate

The remainder of the evening was spent in a general atmosphere of fun and relaxation. After nearly bungling an attempt at an impressive kick-strike, somewhat along the lines of what Skyra attempted, Abel toned it down a notch. Though by no means a chatty person, he managed to hold several conversations with Krysanthe, with or without other participants. He also attempted the arcade's fighting games, doing decently well with a rapier-wielding girl in white before a more seasoned player beat him thoroughly enough to rob him of any motivation to keep playing. Not feeling particularly hungry for fast food, Abel got a hotdog and water at Gr8 Eats but little else. When the bowling game, and a salty runback, were completed by the whole group, they found the sun to be skimming the horizon and promptly high-tailed it back to Beacon. The other intriguing teens present remained behind, concerned with...other business.

-=-=-

Bzt. Bzt. Bzt. WAKE UP!.

Abel groaned, stirring himself to wakefulness. He must have been off his rocker at the time to make his alarm his own voice shouting 'wake up.' Fumbling for the clock, he shut it off and rose, dazedly, to his feet. Leaving his usual blue jacket behind, he headed into the bathroom to swap out his shorts for pants and brush his teeth. Still blurry-eyed, he shambled to the dorm center and downed a mug of coffee. It was time, he thought as he stared at some coffee grains in the cup's bottom, to begin the second week of Beacon life. He marveled that it had only been one week; it felt like he'd been here for...months, maybe.

Ignoring those around him except to make sure he didn't bump into anyone, he made himself oatmeal and ate in silence. Last night's sleep had been interrupted at an early hour by the team ferret, demanding to be let out to relieve himself, in rudimentary terms of course. No excuse would do, however, when another Combat Class loomed. Mondays were sparring days, and Abel hoped that this time, he'd be able to pull off a win.

By now a little more knowledgeable about their timetables, the students had arrived at a time to Ms. Goodwitch's liking. Having run the kids through their paces for a week, Goodwitch expected to be impressed, and she said as much to the group as a whole. In particular, she demanded self-control. There would be no explosive tantrums, she said in a cold voice, no debilitating injuries, and no indignant outbursts. “As with every competition, in here there must be a winner and a loser. Don't let any foolish notions of pride or superiority goad you into making the wrong decisions. If all it took to win was getting back up and trying again after taking a fall, we'd all be winners, wouldn't we? Know your limits, and just as importantly, know your aura. By now I shouldn't have to remind you, but I'll be ending the match when aura drops into the red zone. These should be good, clean fights. Listen up: here are the matchups.” She sent out a group text to all scrolls.

Emerald Felicia v Daniel Day Dalton
Benjamin Lloyd v Lorena Negasi
Oswald Connoly v Jack Orpheus
Amaranth Desire v Diamond Frost
Ebon Umbranox v Vega Venetia
Lucas Schwarze v Kuhaku Shiro
Bianca Nuit v Sepia Russet
Mokuren Sabella v Skyra Dawn
Robert Fallson v Krysanthe
Gratia Mindaro v Cian Kuze
Cobalt Chideta v Gren Orchid
Abel Fulgurate v Sangue Naga
Napoli Fiordilatte v Sapphire Rode

“Find your partner, have a quick word if you must, and prepare for battle.”

A voice came through the loudspeakers into the warehouse. The building itself was drab, but full of possibility. There were crates, various equipments, a few loading vehicles, and vertical supports, all just lying in wait to make a fight interesting. For Amber, Violet, and Akashi knew that they'd be fighting. They didn't even really need the voice over the speakers, the familiar tone without a known face to assign it to, to tell them. This morning's exercise would be to hone their skill in a three-way spar. “Try not to hurt one another too badly,” the voice droned after it had finished telling them exactly what they'd expected to hear. “We can't use you if you're in a hospital bed. If one of you breaks another's aura, withdraw speedily. This is a test of your ability to fight multiple opponents. Begin when ready...I'll be watching.”
