But then again it was Evvie. While an interesting character her style is very much a brawler.

@Skallagrim

Yes, but Evvie is an example of what is basically a fire manipulator but who also maintains powerful physical characteristics. Someone without that resistance would fall easily to the Clockwork Man's weapons, while their flames would be less than effective against his metallic body.

In a lot of ways, the Clockwork Man is probably my most formidable character.

I'm more or less waiting for more things to go down in the HQ. Though if I may make a suggestion. From a story perspective, it does seem like Worren is already upset with the Clockwork man, and he would have enough reason to start something with him over his little gun stunt.

@Crazy Scion

Worren is probably even worse suited to fighting the Clockwork Man if all he has is flame manipulation, considering what happened to Evvie.

Even while completely focused on his investigation into the supernatural qualities of the HQ conduit and its traits which he considered highly similar to the Nexus of Worlds, the Clockwork Man picked up on the hostility all around him. He would have been worried, considering the number and strength of those who were surrounding him, violence obviously on their minds, save for one small factor.

“Now, now, children, we haven’t forgotten the house rules have we?” The Clockwork Man said, not even turning to face the mob as he let his words sink in. Many around the hall would have forgotten what they were told earlier, but the rule was simple, no direct violence on anyone in the premises. Now, rules were meant to be broken, but the Clockwork Man figured that with the amount of power already manifested in this place, it was highly unlikely anyone here was capable of breaking them, even if they wanted to.

“You’re not going to challenge a man to a duel over a simple experiment surely?” He said, his voice grating, he holstered his pistol in one smooth motion and turned to face them, the telescopic eye on his obviously inhuman face extending slightly. “George Elmore at your service, inventor, scientist and engineer, devilishly handsome some have said as well, though I let one make their own minds up on that specific matter.” His voice barely betrayed the dark sarcasm in his voice as he regarded the assembled mob, noting the assortment of barbarians, vagabonds, warriors and flame wielding magi. “I’d thoroughly recommend you all return to your meals, you don’t want to be issuing challenges you’d soon regret.” He said, not at all boastfully, turning back to the window and resuming his close inspection.

I think injuries are most useful for balancing reasons, otherwise they serve as an unnecessary handicap.

I think the Clockwork Man would be too much for Grim if that's his power in a nutshell though, the Clockwork Man doesn't have very good transferable abilities (particularly in his first form, where his Technomagic is -very- basic.)

His main strength comes from the fact that he's an automaton and his strategising.

Still, I'd be up for the fight regardless.

@Yoshua171 You still about? I'd like to fight Szayeis with Judgement if possible.

Judgement

Judgement

(Minus the swords on the pauldrons)

Race: Divine
Full name: Unknown
Nickname: Judgement
Gender: Assumed male
Height: Seven foot (fully armoured)
Weight: Fully armoured, comes in at around 250kg.

Weapons

Hammer of Judgement, God’s Judgement

A massive warhammer five feet in length with a foot long head pronged with spikes, the end of the shaft has a similar spiked implement. Passively he may charge the hammer with a glowing nimbus which allows it to overcome physical and magical defences in proportion to its charge. It is near indestructible, and can be remade in his hands two posts after its destruction if someone manages to. It weighs roughly 100kg, but no other person can lift it without first praying to his lord, false prayers will result in one’s immediate death. This effect also makes Judgement similarly resistant to being lifted, because the hammer increases his weight massively to his opponent’s perception. When thrown, it re-materialises in his hands at the end of my next post.

Sword of God

An exceptional weapon only given to a chosen few who serve the Lord and only for brief periods of time. Though rare to see Judgement with this weapon, it has often been considered a less formidable weapon than his ordinary war-hammer. It has the visage of a huge greatsword about six foot in length, with a blade that looks like steel with a gold tint. Jugement throws the huge weapon around as if it were weightless, and can wield it in one or two hands interchangeably. Its edge is notoriously sharper than it should be, and the blade is incredibly difficult to break or tarnish, it flows with the divine aura of the Lord increasing its effectiveness against evil forces, as one would expect from a holy warrior.

Equipment: The armour of the gods, full plate mail of an unidentified origin, imbued with runes of power, specifically designed to distort the flows of magic. Elemental magic and entropy connected to a mage is wavered and eventually cut. Prolonged exposure from attacks like elemental fire usually fails after a few seconds. At its full power magic is pretty much brushed aside unless prepared extensively or used in a sudden powerful burst. It’s also impossibly tough when he faces opponents at his true strength, becoming many times more durable than diamond.

Power list:

Immortality

Strength of a god (Superhuman strength) this is, along with his durability, his strongest trait. It far exceeds the average for his high tier because it’s boosted at a cost of few activated magical abilities. (His grip is also incredibly powerful) One can always expect Judgement to be (physically) stronger than his opponent by some margin, as he is supposed to be physically difficult for any opponent to overcome.

Indomitable will (Superhuman endurance) Judgement is an agent of the divines, his hammer is their judgement, he will not be stopped.

Divine Durability: Beneath his armour, Judgement is a Divine (similar in essence to an Angel, but without wings.) He looks a lot like a human male, but lacks internal Organs and his blood is golden in colour. He seems to be independent of Human biological needs and weaknesses, but can still bleed out or lose his limbs and die in that fashion, at a far slower rate than a human however.

Divine resistance, As well as resistance to aging and magic, he is more than a hundred times more resistant to things like poisons and paralysis solutions, it is not necessary for him to breath air, if in a hostile environment.

God’s speed, (Fast) Judgement moves far quicker than his heavily armoured form would suggest, also increasing his ability to jump far and high, he maxes out at about one hundred miles per hour, and accelerates as fast as the average car.

Battle hardened; Judgement has fought some of the greatest warriors of all time, and lived to fight again. He’s defeated some of the greatest, and been beaten by the best. However he always returns an agent of the divines, their immortal judgement.

Prayers to the lord; Judgement can pray to the God he serves, granting him the ability to briefly overcome powerful magic or abilities at the same level as his charge. He must pray consistently over time to match stronger attacks. With this ability he can also be transported into other dimensions, times, and planets. This also allows him to heal himself, with each sustained prayer building up on the healing with minor wounds (for his tier) healed immediately and more serious ones healed after more time. Because of his strange link to his armour, healing himself also extends to repairing his armour.

Agent of the Gods, when not testing budding warriors, Judgement often serves his purpose as an extension of the will of his God, serving him to the best of his abilities. At max power, when faced with evil opponents he can literally set them alight with a brush of his hand, provided he can overcome their magical defences. This is because the God’s aura within him flows outwards, infusing with the enemy. It also means lesser minions like undead and the like can easily be dispatched with divine magic, and any unholy magic cast upon him is particularly weakened because he is completely pure. He himself is not magical at all, but his god uses him as a vessel for his magic.

The Mech that went to an Active Volcano (Ranked Battle)

Higan reflexively lifted his arm to protect the vulnerable camera of his Mech, and the heavy metallic right arm moved in conjunction, taking the hit on a less essential but more heavily armoured region of its hull. The Chakram cut into the metal, but thrown by a relatively ordinary man it lacked the penetrating power necessary to destroy the war-orientated machine, even with its unusual qualities. It bounced off to its right leaving a small cut in the Mech’s forearm, and Higan’s eyes narrowed in irritation as the anti-tank round fired off, the recoil shaking him inside the Mech’s cockpit.

It seemed to have a good effect on target, throwing his foe and breaking apart whatever strange material covered him. However, Higan expected nothing else from his strongest and most finite attack. As he watched the HEAT round being ejected from the bottom of his tank-rifle he couldn’t help but mentally count down… four left.

“Alright, let’s see if we can finish you off early.” He said to himself, driving his Mech forward in pursuit. His computer system tracked Saana until he hid himself behind a short outcropping, causing Higan to curse loudly. He didn’t want to play a waiting game with his foe; he wanted to finish him while he was weak. Considering the size of the cover there was a good chance he could break it apart even with anti-personnel rounds, and was preparing to do just that when a bright light erupted up ahead.

“The hell?” Higan said, or something very similar comparatively in the language of Ramor. Rocketing up into the air was, according to his computer system, his flaming foe. Higan almost shook, looking at something so unnatural it was hard to think properly.

“I’ve got myself into something mighty strange here.” He said to no one in particular, as his Mech began calculating the speed and trajectory of his foe. In comparison to a missile it was fairly easy to track, and as it stopped high above him the Mech let out a warning of the rapid and dangerous descent.

“What sort of attack is this? Does this guy think I’m some sort of amateur?” Higan resisted craning his neck, knowing it would be pointless, and let his Mech do the hard maths necessary for what he had planned. Considering his just about acceptable knowledge of physics, Higan was fairly certain there wasn’t going to be any swift changing in direction from a dive like the one his foe was carrying out… so dropping straight down? Really?

Higan waited until the last possible moment, and with only about one and a half seconds to spare his Mech suddenly thrust itself forward and sideways with its right leg, twisting in mid-air even as it cleared about twenty feet instantly putting itself out of the range of his falling foe. There was no changing direction at that speed, so all Saanga had to look forward to was a cataclysmic collision with the floor.

The moment Higan’s Mech had span and come to a stop after turning 180 degrees and stepping backwards another twenty feet, he would train his secondary and tertiary weapons on the spot his computers calculated Saanga was just about to land. He wouldn’t have to wait long.

The Clockwork Man hasn't had a proper fight since the multiverse, so I'll use him in whatever form is most suitable for the character you or the judge picks. If it helps for story reasons the Clockwork Man has a minor affiliation with the Dreamers, and carries one of their artefacts in his body.

About that altered posting time limit? My fight is still going at the speed of slow and it's starting to irritate.
