Being truly on my own is a bit of a weird feeling. It's never really happened.

Let it never be said that sometimes extreme brevity isn't the most appropriate post, though. Everything is a tool.

Was I not accepted because of Pridemoor's abilities? I did it in a joke, but I explained that he has no special powers aside from possessing true, indisputable, official royal confetti.

May or may not be planning jokes about facial animations


"No special abilities" misses out what he can actually do, which I think is the issue.




In other words, I'm interested.
  • Name: Reinhardt Wilhelm
  • Universe: Overwatch
  • Appearance:Precision German Engineering. And this is what he looks like under the helmet. It's worth noting that under the armour he's still absolutely huge, with the average man barely coming up to his shoulders. For an old man, he's also got a terrifying amount of muscle.
  • Personality: If you personified the modern view of chivalry and made it larger than life, you would be most of the way to Reinhardt. His concerns seem to run in the order of doing the right thing for its own sake, winning glory in battle, and simply enjoying a good fight. In all of these, he is thoroughly boisterous and seemingly incapable of maintaining an indoor voice for more than five minutes at a time--yet, surprisingly, he gets on remarkably well with children despite this and his sheer size. He also seems to have some fun with provoking people he likes.
  • Powers/Skills: He's big, knows Hasselhoff, and has a lifetime's experience of swinging around an oversized hammer and getting in the way of harm. Reinhardt is also a surprisingly good storyteller.
  • Brief Bio: In his youth, Reinhardt joined the German army and eventually became one of the Crusaders--a modern-day knightly order using the same armour and weapons that he continues to use. It was with the Crusaders that Reinhardt first became involved in the Omnic Crisis (beyond the omnipresent "they're trying to kill us" everybody had to deal with). Later in the crisis, he was one of the six individuals that formed the strike team that would end the crisis--the beginning of Overwatch.
    Reinhardt would stay with the organisation for almost its entire existence, becoming a Lieutenant and leading the strike team dispatched to King's Row to put a stop to the uprising there. Then, of course, he was made to retire, to stand by on the sidelines and watch as Overwatch fell further and further into corruption and got disbanded in disgrace--having lost three of its founding members (or four) and his friends in the process.
    Reinhardt promptly brought himself out of retirement and set out as a modern day knight errant, travelling Europe and coming to blows with a gang called the Dragons. Though proving quite capable of beating up someone not fighting back, they found out that a mountain of a man in power armour is substantially more dangerous, and were driven from the town for good.
    And then he went and told Torbjorn's children stories at Christmas.
  • Equipment: Reinhardt has his armour and his hammer, which, though both old and battered, are still serviceable and somewhat terrifying to be confronted with--the hammer alone is as big as some people. And both, of course, have rockets on them: the armour to charge across a battlefield (and crush any unfortunate foes), whilst the hammer seems to have one simply to hit things even harder--including slamming into the ground hard enough to cause people to fall.
    The armour also has the ability to project a large barrier from its left wrist, capable of absorbing massively fatal amounts of damage before breaking... at which point it will just recharge again in no time at all. It has the added benefit of being translucent and something that can be attacked through from behind, allowing his allies to retaliate.
  • Others: The guy's 61.
Yes. Not sure what happened to other people.
After talking with Anno, we should be skipping to the action after her next post, so I skipped the parts that would... you know, drag this part on even longer.

"As you wish," the older woman said, getting to work on the task immediately. If she had to inform the knights, that left less time for her to prepare for the first field campaign that she had been involved in since taking up the task of training Fanilly five years ago. It was fortunate indeed that the job itself had required exercising her combat skills... and the captain had improved rapidly enough to allow her to shake off the rust after an unexpected break.

Yet, several hours later, Lilianna still found time to visit Fanilly, awkwardly pushing open the heavy door with one hand. The other, after all, was rather occupied with a young child. It wouldn't take a genius to connect it to Lilianna; white hair wasn't so common that there were a vast supply of other options around Candaeln.

The visit had been expected, the tag-along less so. Showing demonstrably more embarrassment than normal--that is to say, blushing at all--Lilianna explained that Vivien had wanted to say good night to "her aunt". A message that the girl herself enthusiastically repeated, wriggling free only to latch herself around the captain's waist.

"I've told you, Fanilly, that even as a captain you can't take responsibility for actions and problems outside of your control. Especially when dealing with enemies."
Sir Tyaethe Radistirin


"It's just a skeleton, if it was anything more significant it would have done something in the journey back. I've never known someone to be able to keep undead dormant and undetected through being carted around by mages. The worst they can do with it is try and work out who it was, though the body's too far gone to just ask," Tyaethe answered, leading the way down some stairs and towards the outside--a different route than the way in. Obviously, the main doors were closer when you had no cargo on hand.

A distrust of mages was something that the paladin couldn't really wrap her head around. They died just the same as everyone else when you cut them into pieces, and it wasn't that hard for someone to survive long enough to pull that off in her opinion. Her own ability, limited as it was to lighting candles, kept magic firmly in the realm of "just another skill to be learnt".

"If anything goes wrong, the college can either deal with it or last long enough that we can walk from Candaeln. If they can't, that's a problem for more than one person to deal with."

What pressure led people to accept things as unchangeable so easily? Of course there was a plan presented to them--and, true, it would be difficult to arrange a perfectly new one without a full strategic meeting with the other commanders. Something that they should have been arranging well in advance of allowing a noble with all the manners of a donkey to present it to them. Yet to blindly write off the potential to improve upon it was every bit as ridiculous as the Iron Roses' insistence on picking their leader by looking at a calendar.

"I did not suggest scrapping this plan," she stressed--though it was too complicated anyway, so why not? "I said that we need one that accounts for the limitations of relying on gullibility. 'Twould be better to determine alternatives now, rather than in a field with our targets following our every move."

(From ghastly)

Livius sighs as he walks to the door. “My only job on this matter was informing you of your 100 to 120 man limit and the plan proposed and to obtain your agreement. I cant in good knowledge return to my contacts telling them the plans radically changed by one with no emotional or finacial stake in the issue. They're people are being killed. They are understandably upset and stubborn. What you do without my knowledge is out of my control. After all, you said so yourself. I've no direct authority over you. Manifest includes documents on what little we know about the cult and their forces. I'd suggest you take time to flip through it Belwiss. Can only imagine what you and your might cobble together as a plan without me to over see you.”
Sir Tyaethe Radistirin


She had expected more resistance to the demands for transparency, given that this would mean exposing the idiots that wanted to use the shard--or had failed to protect it--to criticism about their actions. It left nothing more for her to continue strongly on, leading to a rather weak: "Well... get someone from the church to give them a history lesson. The sword itself was evil and when the pieces show up again people die. You can't use something for good if it kills any good person that tries to take a hold of it."

Awkwardly making her way out of the room with a mention that she would see if Merilia could be persuaded to help with restoring any defences for when the shard was eventually regained, now that the mage was starting to take a look at the knights again for whatever reason, the paladin finally noticed that she hadn't been making this journey on her own. It was a good thing that the only sensitive topic covered had been one that he was there for.

Though there was a question that needed answering as she began to navigate through the halls towards the exit and back to Candaeln: "Why are you following me?"

"We need a plan that relies on more than our enemy possessing a particular level of bravado, Sunfield," the duellist said, rubbing her head. It was all very well and good having a plan that couldn't possibly fail if it got to the final step--the overwhelming level of force that would be present once Veldt and Ithillin made a move would wipe out any number of rebels.

"Step back and think: what are we to do if they see through any disguises and realise Fanilly is travelling with the knights? Or if they do not know what the knights are supposed to look like and assume that any armed force in her company must be the Knights? They have no goal to complete that requires the captain's death; even a small amount of caution will leave us with no battle. All this assumes that locals would miss the scale of forces assembling upon the borders."
The sound of flames downstairs was the signal to shift the grip on her blade, anticipating that the target would be coming through any moment now. Then he did--just not through the door, and not in a situation that she could have struck at him. Even with all the speed in the world, the most likely outcome would have been to cut Bunny's head off first; the situation wasn't desperate enough to start sacrificing allies in the name of victory.

Bunny's brains were safely not blasted across the room by an unexpected explosion, the roar of which briefly made the yakuza wonder how on Earth they'd managed to get her mother to show up here--drunk. Reality asserted itself as the Daidouji went flying, being launched by necessity in her general direction. There was no chance of getting his head from here (and she didn't wish to try splitting his brains in two) but from the angle there was a chance...

The old man had wanted to remove "only one" limb each? Let's see how he liked losing an arm before even reaching the floor.
