Why We Fight? (WWII with superpowers)

@ONL Izkry wouldn't approve of cheating...but he'd totally try to cheat right back if you did? =P And he might be able to tinker his faster beforehand, so yes. =P

And whoops, my bad on the being German. I missed where he was born and just saw the fleeing from the army part. ^.^;;

It should be noted the FBI guy is not with our captain -- just Belasy, and Anton should recognize her. Mr. FBI left and will return after lunch. <3

@Kessir Tarkin Mine were born German, and the Swiss speak a few languages -- including Swiss Standard German and Swiss German. I would /hope/ they all have at least one common language -- probably English? because otherwise they're just asking for trouble.

@Oak7ree yes, THANK YOU.

Why We Fight? (WWII with superpowers)

@MegaOscarPwn You're biased, and I don't see any objective data here. Besides, given that the Japanese designed a sword specifically to handle Mongol raiders, I suspect they could have figured out something to handle Vikings as well. The two groups never really encountered each other, so you don't know what innovations would have come of it. I suspect the issue with knights was more that knights were not used to hit and run tactics, and their idea of a battle was two lines charging at each other, and only knights taking down other knights.

When it comes down to the martial arts themselves, it becomes more about the techniques as opposed to how they're applied. So the question is really if two copies of the same person had one trained as a viking and the other trained in "weeb martial arts", which one would win.

And given that this is ww2 era with guns and land mines and trench warfare and even guerrilla tactics, where your melee skills are not necessarily so important, suddenly it doesn't matter so much which martial art you studied nor what heritage you have. Know enough to stay alive long enough to kill the other guy. =P

@MegaOscarPwn I think in the end it comes down to personal skill. =P

@MegaOscarPwn I would strongly discourage doing things to actually kill yoiur teammates, and I suspect that such control should be above starting power level for our chars. I didn't say she'd hurt him, just that she has a strong dislike and may try to impress upon him the seriousness of his actions. Besides, for someone scared of dying, deliberately killing a teammate for being angry seems like the sort of thinhe'd get executed for.

@MegaOscarPwn He did for Westminster, and if you're in a special army task force that's still the military. =P Bel is not going to let him live that down. E V E R. And she won't trust him with anything, either. He has earned himself a very angry woman that didn't like him to start with and who can hold a grudge a /long/ time.

Should be fun~ <3

@MegaOscarPwn Bel would like to inform you that getting others killed to save yourself is not the sort of thing you do in the army, and that if Oscar thinks like that he had no business enlisting in the first place.

I'm gonna wait a bit to post again, even though directly addressed.

@MegaOscarPwn Izkry is older than both Johnathan and Zhanna, and he's also not fond of Oscar after his stunt. And the disrespect he shows to the Captain won't go over well either.

@ONL Man, I feel like a jerk. I created Izkry (which actually means Sparks, or something like it) from my character Johnathan "Sparks" Quinn a while ago to fit the new background and ww2 setting of Lady Selune's rp, but it seems his powerset is...nearly identical to Anton's, though it seems the two manifest the ability a little differently. Anton can control his offensive abilities better, it seems, Izkry is a bit better at touch-based stuff. Both are good at repairs to machines and engines, but it looks like Anton is better at "possessing" machinery and can enhance it; Izkry can't do that and can't do anything other than control the machine. And Izkry is probably better with clockwork type stuff.

Honestly, I think Izkry would get on well with Anton, if you're okay with that. They have a similar power, and might bond over their mechanic tendencies. Friends, maybe a tiny bit of rivalry (I can see them racing controlled vehicles or something. *giggle*). Both of them really dislike the Germans, though Izkry is less...enthusiastic about it. And they're both born German, though Anton ended up in France and Izkry in Switzerland. ...Bel might, /might/ dislike Anton less than most of the others. He's enough like Izkry, and is determined to see the Germans defeated. She approves.

Lemme know whatcha think.

@Bright_Ops Hope you don't mind that I had Izkry helping John with his German. Izkry'd be happy to lend a hand, and he's friendly in general. ^.^;; I can change it if you object, though.

@MegaOscarPwn What's a ten? Is that good? O.o And I saw you post OOC a couple hours ago, which was after the rp began, so clearly you were around.

@Lady Selune I don't intend to join, but I am just quietly giggling in my corner over here. Don't mind me~
