What?! We were inseparable! Think of all the times we...we...did that stuff! The really cool stuff. You remember, right, Melon?

@ImportantNobody

Ehh, now that I think about it I've fought you and Khan multiple times, but I don't think you've fought each other much.

Still trying to get his abilities sorted, he has a weird mana pool.

So you're making a skeleton chair? Oooooh spooooky. 2 sp00ks 4 me m8

Also, with all the excitement over Khan and IN's engagement I totally forgot I was supposed to be the one posting next, I'll get on that ASAP.

Speaking of which is Listia using one hand or two hands?

@GreivousKhan

I don't think it matters until next turn, you interrupted her back-slice with your attack, IN will have to launch a modified attack next post.

@MelonHead Changed the CS to be a little more specific.

@Athinar

Okay, I have a few powered characters in mind that I believe could face off against your Void character, which I suspect would be the best for a quick sparring session.

One thing I would say though is characters 'limiting their abilities' for a fight are kind of bad for story reasons, because logically speaking you're not going to let yourself die if you're overcome with one hand tied behind your back, you're going to remove the restriction and kill them back, which isn't fair unless your opponent has a similar ability to remove their restrictions.

My recommendation would be to just leave each power level as seperate points in your character's timeline, where he can encounter a foe at each point, but that's up to you, just be aware that I won't tolerate any power changes mid-fight if we do spar. Anywho, these are the characters you can pick from.

Or Aegis, whose fluff I will complete if you're interested in facing the general character concept. This would probably be the easiest fight for your character at the powered level, but I'd still make it difficult for you. http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/2818058

There are other characters which -might- work, if you want to fight in high powered instead. Have a look through my entire list if you want. http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/79934-people-trapped-in-a-giant-melon/ooc

He's wielding it one handed. Remember one hand has to be free for sign weaving. His full range is actually almost ten feet overall, but that's well beyond the true edge of the blade. Wielding it two handed would be impossible from the angle. He only had to twist one wrist around after all.

@GreivousKhan

Even one handed eight foot is a push, his sword is 4.25 feet, so a 5ft 11" man is covering over three feet with his arm span?

Also, I take issue with your character's range now I think about it, there's no way he has over eight foot range, especially if he's wielding that sword two handed. He'd have to have fucking Mr Tickle Arms.

Well, my point wasn't what was favourable, it was what was logical considering the situation.

Considering Khan's weapon outranges your own, I'd rather be inside his guard rather than outside it, especially as the strike will be more ineffectual if you're further inside the strike, just basic physics and momentum shit. That part of his weapon will be moving slower and pose less of a threat to your shielding. You have no choice but to come at him at that point, but if his strike is mis-timed you have from the moment you see the incoming threat until the point when his blade would reach you to twist your body out the way and use your shield to parry his sword, finishing with the anime-esque decapitation with your own unencumbered sword.

Tordor really had no way to know his sword is going to encounter resistance before it hits you, so twisting out the way should be fairly easy.

@MelonHead

Doesn't negate my point though and it's still valid unless all the examples didn't grow in the story. Which means they only make one time appearances and wouldn't be as rememberable or recognizable. I might be recalling the tier examples wrong since it's been a long time.

@Fallenreaper

The majority of examples are from films actually, so in terms of power they don't progress much. I've always assumed that when they do reference Mace Windu for example or Trinity from the Matrix they probably mean at their best, rather than when they were children or something.

Yeah. It doesn't help the tiers don't take in account the storyline or role of the examples presented. Mains and some Nps for example grow unlike others, which influence their power level. Goku for example is one.

At the start of the series, you know and can tell he's no match for Fresia. However, further along when he's taking on android 5 or Saga, he's likely to kick the original Fresia he battles back then to the curb easily. So the question is this: which example do you use?

Had to rewrite this because I lost it when I pasted an old reply over it on my iPhone....T^T

@Fallenreaper

From what I remember of the tier listings DBZ characters weren't used as examples just because of how much they progressed in terms of power over the series. I prefer the rough estimation of how devestating a character's abilities are, could they easily destroy a car, a street, a city, a country, a world?

That's pretty much the span from t3 to t9.

Honestly though there are so many variables It's near impossible to get your head around it.
