@Ammokkxyeah I apologize for my inactivity IC. I was worried that this had died. Just couldn't see a way to interact. Hopefully I'll be able to open up after the fight.
Probably should be deployed in the center to focus fire on those most looking things, as well as some limited counter-sniping.
@Lord Wraith
Ah okay, just saw it before you pinged me. I'll look over the ooc.
@Lord Wraith
I just noticed the "technological advancements" bit in the starting post, so I guess that sort of answers my follow-up question. I take it the setting is "20 Minutes into the Future"?
Oh this looks pretty neat. I'm interested, especially once you get a CS up. I do have one question about the setting though. Are superpowers a well-known thing, or would people showing up with powers be unprecedented?
@KaiserElectric

Good to see you back! You chimed back in at the perfect time too, with the tournament starting up again




One nice thing about traveling light is the fact that that one can basically get up and leave whenever they wanted to needed to, barring any companions that you'd agreed to give a lift that didn't share your morning person tendencies. Another was that one could easily keep all their gear in the locker-room. Such was the case with Otsana as she waited in the women fighter's lockers for the brackets to be announced. There was the constant chatter of conversation and the crowd outside as she listened to music to calm herself. By which she just ranted to herself mentally. "Can't fucking believe they gave me shit over my guns. Every other goddamned fighter here's about ready to skewer someone with a sword or two. And I know for a fact that a few of these guys have rap sheets as long as I am tall." She took another deep breath, and looked at the live feed of the registration line just in time for some girl to deck some guy she couldn't quite ID. "At least I'm not having a day as bad as he did. I wonder if Jonas was caught up in that." @Savo





Margot was relieved when they finally got into the stadium, her disguise seeming to hold. She couldn't help but notice that the police presence seemed to very light for such a large event, but considering that each and every fighter in the tournament was a force to be reckoned with she figured that the event was self-policing. It was almost a relief to see that she wasn't the only one to walk around openly armed. She was only able to hear Brooke's question over the crowd by virtue of being dragged along behind her.

"So, what do you think of our competition?" Brooke asked. "Oh! Or better yet, are you ready to see the real fighting style I'm known for?" Brooke asked again, trying to put on a false bravado as she hid her lack of confidence in her fighting style.

"This is going to be great!"


Margot looked over at her perky friend. "I can tell you I recognize more than a few from their reputations. So, there's that." Smirking she added "Though I must say you are a relative unknown. Is this your first big-name tournament? I hope you do well."

She motioned to the sign-up line, once again taking the lead. "But the first step is getting registered. Allons-y."
Mujida.

So, I was thinking of making sort of a government official character. Not quite a samurai, though historically the kind of person I have in mind would be one, but something along the lines of a magical cop?

I would like to ask what kind of weapon you would consider a Jitte to be. I figured that they were so strongly associated with law enforcement of the era that it would fit with the character concept.

Edit: Another thing, are guardian spirits used as weapons considered melee or ranged for purposes of the "one primary/secondary/ranged" thing or is that a case by case call?

Margot easily kept up with Brooke as the former led them away from the scene. She looked at the parka wearing man as they passed and considered helping him. The ice wall made it clear that he was a fellow Nomad, and he certainly seemed to be in over his head.

However, she couldn't deny the fact he made a very convenient distraction. Not to mention all the guns that were already drawn. Nor could she be sure that all the cops were hopelessly corrupt like Lt. Mendoza. The idea of indiscriminately attacking the cops just wasn't her style.

Maybe the guy deserved it. Maybe he was some sort of psycho that kicked baby seals or something. He did certainly got a bunch of guns pointed at her. So many that she blanched at the thought of doing anything else but instantly surrender. Thankfully Brooke had grabbed her and snapped her out of it.

Still, at the same time, he did almost instinctively summon the ice wall when the cops had found them. It had already taken a few bullets, and was crumbling under the onslaught. Still being led by Brooke, she did the quickest thing she could do in the situation. As they passed, she shouted "Don't stand there, move!"

Not looking back, she ran with Brooke for a block before taking the lead. "Well that could've gone better. Follow me, I got a cache already set up at the bus station. A change of clothes, disguises, and enough money to rent a room for the night. Turning down an alleyway, she jumped up to one of the few fire escapes in the city. Turning around, she reached down and offered her hand to Brooke. "Com'on, the cop's will be hard pressed to track us if we stick to the rooftops."
