The Beast Master and the Beast Queen

<Snipped quote by Rilla>

So you should have to prep shooting your pistol, or firing your bow, or swinging your sword?

You can't limit someone's primary attack just because it's magic.

@MelonHead

No, but those are classified, in my opinion as physical attacks, such as a punch - though you can make a case for them being 'prepped' when you aim, notch, or draw back for a swing.

As I said, it's my interpretation of T1, and how I've always worked it, barring one or two cases(Such as Kei'taro vs Aeryn; but he started it, damn it!). I'm not saying YOU have to operate that way, as we've quite clearly established nearly everything going into a match is up for negotiation. I'm saying that's how I've always done it, and how I'll continue to do it.

The Beast Master and the Beast Queen

In my opinion, it should. You may be able to cast them faster, and stronger, but it shouldn't negate the need for prepping/charging, just because you specialize in it. But that's my take on it, and how I interpret T1, and how I play it. Obviously, at some point, it'll need to be centralized when two people with opposing views on it come to battle, but that's with everything.

The Beast Master and the Beast Queen

I'm gonna message everyone, and give them until Tuesday to accept/deny/submit a character, before I make any official announcement.

The Beast Master and the Beast Queen

From everything I've learned magic has to be charged; some places are more lax about it, but what isn't prepped is more likely a small, weak move, not really meant to do anything major to the opponent. Which is why Shell and Bird were both charged, before use - because that's just the way I was taught T1; prep magic.

The Beast Master and the Beast Queen

Done

The Beast Master and the Beast Queen

Ah! Yeah, I can change that; I assumed she was a Punda... thingy too, as I thought they were mother and father.

I'll change it.

[Ranked] Rilla vs Bartimaeus

She'd really only have one offensive capability to go off; Blow Bang, which is hilarious if you know what a blow bang is. hahah.

He hasn't used any of his other abilities, like Watch Your Step, or his swords.

The Beast Master and the Beast Queen

Kei'taro could feel his sword jam into Pikatok, and slice clean towards her belly button, a blow fatal enough that he didn't need to press the advantage he had gained. He was faintly concerned that he didn't tap her spine, so strong the swing, but he remembered her skin was harder than a normal person's, and she had defensive abilities that directly affected the skin.

Crafty.

He could feel her press against the shield in an attempt to dislodge herself from the blade that bit deep. The snake Kusanagi sneered within him, urging him to push forward and finish the match.

He didn't need to be told twice.

Kei'taro didn't need to move from his spot, but instead of dropping the blade, he tensed his arm and activatec Thunderbird, by speaking the self same name. From his right shoulder, a bolt of electricity with some extra oomph rocketed from his right shoulder, and followed the path downward with startling speed. The distance between them wasn't as great, between the starting distance, his reach, and that of a sword.

It's target was center mass, where the heart and lungs were commonly situated.

His breath was reaching the stage of minor strain, he hadn't needed much exertion yet, whereas Pikatok had to be feeling the effects of a deep cut such as the one he had delivered. Now, however, they would both be aback at square one - magicless. He hoped this attack would end it, a physical fight with Pikatok, even with her weakened, was not a fight Kei'taro wanted. He was faster, she was stronger.

I haven't found anything quite suitable, but something like the old volcanic plains map from the multiverse would be good.

Rilla, do you still have that map anywhere?

@MelonHead

Nope, but volcanic plains is easy enough to describe. Hahah
