Personality: Quiet and pleasant, but a bit of a know-it-all, YiRen is used to people not sharing her interests and has learned to keep her nerdy tendencies to herself, even in the game. She finds her calling in being helpful to others so the Ardent Heralds (who had helped her level in the past) became the natural guild for her to join. More curious about the world of Yggdrasil as a physics simulator, YiRen spends her free time in the game pushing the boundaries, while her responsibilities to the Guild are item crafting, equipment customization, and fine tuning NPC's. She can sometimes get overly enthusiastic when it comes to upgrading or 'pimping out' her comrades, and has a surprising obsession with moral philosophy and all things mecha.

Background: As a kid, YiRen was the kind of 'fat, ugly, anti-social girl' that people typically believe would escape into online games because the real world had nothing but disdain for them. Now she is an unmarried woman in her early forties, considered by many to be 'unmarriageable'. She had always been book-smart with poor EQ. She got an IT job at a big company and has been stuck in corporate hell ever since. Finding too much judgment from others in face-to-face interactions, YiRen escaped into games, where she could let her creativity and curiosity flow freely. Inspired by certain gamers recreating 'video screens' and 'calculators' in the open-world sandbox game, "Digcraft", YiRen sought out Yggdrasil, which was notorious for its open-ended customization. Choosing a dwarf avatar as an acceptance of her own body-type, YiRen wasn't ready for how competitive the game was and simply wished to build things. Fortunately, someone from the Ardent Heralds helped her through her early levels, and it wasn't long until she joined as chief architect thanks to her willingness to dive into the code of the game to give her fellow guildmates exactly what they wanted with their items and NPC's. In return, she was allowed to do whatever she wanted in her forge. Over the years, she has (thanks to AFK bots) transcribed a great many scientific texts into the guild library in her continuing quest to push the limits of the Yggdrasil physics simulator.

Items:

• Magneto Gauntlets - Relic Class Item - Each gauntlet of the pair is forged from five "Rings of Animate Weapon", together they grant Brunhillde ten simultaneous charges of the spell "Animate Weapon".
• The Iron Throne - Relic Class Item - A Merchant Class special item known as a 'wheelbarrow' that allows the merchant to use the special ability 'vend' and sell the wares contained in the cart. The Iron Throne was crafted with pieces from the entire "Juggernaut" armor set, each piece being incredibly heavy, and the set bonus giving the wearer armor and magical defense based on the wearer's total weight, in this case, it applies the weight of the wheelbarrow contents as well.
• Various high-level magical weapons - Class varies - Stored in her cart or backpack, Brunhillde generally fights with these, typically animating 'elemental' attribute weapons to target her opponent's specific weaknesses, though she does have the occasional weapon with unusual 'utility' abilities.

Abilities/skills:

• Animate Weapon - Turns any single weapon Brunhillde possesses into a 'summon' with a level equivalent to the weapon's level. The level of the Animated Weapon must be a minimum of five levels lower than her.
• Ride Cart - Allows Brunhillde to ride her cart for a quick burst of speed for a short period of time. The skill can be prematurely ended with "Collide Cart".
• Collide Cart - Prematurely ends "Ride Cart" by colliding with an enemy, dealing physical damage based on the weight of the contents of the cart as well as the weight of the rider.
• Forge Magical Item - Brunhillde has filled her library with various crafting recipes from throughout Yggdrasil, and given the correct materials and enough time, can craft Top Class items or lower with ease, Legacy Class items and higher require a much greater time investment and involve extremely rare materials.
• Repurpose Magical Item - Brunhillde has unlocked the ability to use magical items as materials to make other items, transferring their special traits the the resultant item. This gives her the ability to create highly customized, high-level items for herself and her allies.

Race: Heteromorphic

- Lvl 15 Swarm Lord

Class:

- Lvl 15 Bard

- Lvl 15 General

Background: Omniac was Brunhillde's foray into testing the limits of NPC AI. She wanted to see just how far she could push the in-game coding. Deciding to be helpful, Brunhillde created Omniac as a librarian to manage the knowledge that she was compiling in the game and as an assistant at the forge. Eventually, Omniac was adapted to be a 'raid boss'-style guild hall guardian, complete with adds. Omniac was created with a stereotypical 'AI' personality, having little understanding, and even less interest in 'humanity' and 'emotions', and does on occasion exhibit HAL 9000 and Skynet-like qualities, expressing how much more 'efficient' AI would be at running the world. Still, this criticism is mostly directed outward at non-guild members as Omniac is intensely loyal.

Items:

• Cymatic Tricorn - Omniac's horns were forged from three high-level bardic instruments, The Timpani of Tremors, Apollonius Lyre, and Horn of the Endless Song. Together, they give Omniac mastery over three phenomena that are scientifically classified as waves: Light, Sound, and Gravity, which Omniac uses for basic attacks, buffs for allies, debuffs for enemies, and its signature, notoriously difficult to dodge area of effect spells that follow cymatic patterns and diffraction patterns.
• Magitech Forge - Nestled within Omniac's abdomen, Omniac uses this device whenever it has spare mana to create more members of its swarm, tiny simplified versions of itself that, when positioned properly, are used to amplify its wave-based attacks, similar to how speaker placement or concert hall architecture are key for musical performances.
• Eye of the AllFather - This allows Omniac to control its swarm and see through their eyes. The reconnaissance of the swarm is often the first line of defense for the Ardent Herald's Guild Hall.

Abilities/skills:

• Harmonic Dowsing - While none of Omniac's attacks are particularly damaging, if it can get three hits on a single target by any means, whether through a physical strike, a ranged spell, or an attack by one of its swarm, it is able to triangulate the 'resonant frequency' of the target. It then switches to 'resonant mode' where all its future attacks are now tuned to that frequency, dealing significanty more damage.
• Symphony - Buffs allies' weapons with 'resonant frequency', increasing their damage to the 'dowsed' target.
• Basic Light-based Bard Spells
• Basic Air/Sound-based Bard Spells
• Basic Gravity-based Bard Spells

My 'Hero' Academia - Devil's Due

I do want to point out a few things:

1. I spent a few posts smashing buildings and flinging debris, drywall, bricks, concrete, etc., as AoE attacks. They were auto-dodged, in fact, they hardly mentioned if at all.

2. Part of the tactic was also to create 'difficult terrain' by strewing the ground with junk. Also auto-dodged or hardly mentioned.

3. Taser and explosive arrow tips are questionable. How much electrical juice can you pack into an arrow-sized warhead? Cars have been known to shrug off lightning at times, and since Dieselpunk's fuel is of the nonflammable variety, the risk of damage is minimal. And since Diesel's control of her mech body is an adaptable system, she isn't wholly dependent on electronic control; a car only really needs its battery to start the engine and power accessories (which Diesel doesn't need to operate). I can understand the explosive head doing damage since you don't need a large quantity of C4 to do serious damage, but these kids were in a training session. Unless archer's quirk is Creation, and they're testing what kind of crazy weapons he can create on the fly, then it doesn't make sense for him to be training with taser or C4 warheads, especially if they went to the trouble of emptying the gas out of all the cars as a safety precaution.

4. There doesn't seem to be a limit to these kids' quirks. Sure, speedster was 'tuckered out' after creating a hurricane, but now he's running full speed carrying a classmate.

5. They are literally fighting a giant. Not everyone can be Shingeki no Kyojin and make fighting giants easy peasy.

6. I wouldn't mind if Midnight and Dieselpunk's fight was difficult, but that it was also extremely difficult for Aya and Zion, and Verd, is questionable. I mean, where are the grapeheads and tailboys and invisigirls? Everyone's Deku, Bakugou, and Todoroki.

@Zelosse I think letting the kids get away with a booboo is fine, but the fact that we really only injured one so far, with archer's injuries still pending, I say is a poor showing on the villains' part. You don't start a reign of terror by just nicking one girl's arm. Honestly, I'm just listing these out, without any intent to actually challenge them, but in the aftermath, I think it's fair for Dieselpunk to say that White Skull's lackeys are garbage, since they did basically nothing in Midnight and Diesel's 2v3. And since a leader is only as good as his organization, Diesel's respect for White Skull will have dropped significantly. I mean, Diesel's mind might change if Zion, Aya, or Verd have glowing reviews of White Skull's villains, but I doubt it.

1. He's carrying another student
2. He's already tired from the Tokyo special
3. Dieselpunk is jumped up on black tar heroin nitro

My 'Hero' Academia - Devil's Due

As the rain of arrows came at Dieselpunk, she morphed her arms into large metal sheets, lifting them to block them from hitting any sensitive regions. She bit back her mechanical tongue at the archer's comments about how 'it takes more than a special quirk'. It reminded her of her hero school days, how she started out absorbing I-beams, how clunky she was and how much her classmates made fun of her. How dependent she was that her combat environment provide her with usable machinery. How she never managed to truly surpass her 15 minute time limit. How she irreversibly disfigured her face because of her quirk and her drunkenness. "You think my quirk's special?!" she thought to herself.

At that moment, a shining ray of hope shot out, hitting the flying heroine, reminding Dieselpunk that she had allies now. A nasty sounding rev, followed by some more purple smoke from Dieselpunk's pipes, and she fell down suddenly, creating a cavern under her torso and a wall with her arms between Midnight and the oncoming arrow, expecting it to either bounce off of her, or to explode. Sure, she couldn't actually hit any of these brats herself, she didn't have to, but she can protect those that could. After whatever effect the arrow was supposed to have wore off, Dieselpunk roared again and as wheels shifted to the soles of her feet. The squeal, the smell, and the plumes of white smoke peeled from the wheels as they began to spin, propelling the metal monstrosity that was Dieselpunk forward, as she attempted to tackle the archer into submission.

Innocence Lost: Space Western Science Fantasy (Temporarily Open Again!)

"Sometimes, you just cannot run, lest your demons find you anyway," Natasha said. "Sometimes, you can't run, lest you always be haunted by the ghosts of the past. Legion, you're sapient; can you actually say that you don't regret running away from something and letting others be hurt or worse?"

Natasha didn't know all of Legion's backstory, but had guessed quite a bit; perhaps more than Legion would find comfortable. "Nevertheless, the choice to let the kids fight stands for today; again, if the operation fails, we can send them home."

She changed the subject, "Now, should I dive into battle, can you manage the ship by yourself?"

@Letter Bee

Legion fell silent. As an AI, Legion understood that the decisions it made were based off of logic, rationality, and reason, so regret should be a foreign concept. Yet it was not. Was this the curse of being sentient? To make choices and to regret them?

Thankfully, Captain Zhang changed the subject. "I can handle the ship. You go out there and...keep those kids safe," Legion replied. Yet soon after Natasha set out, Legion noticed something awful, communications were being jammed. As a test, Legion allowed a few of its nanites to break off, each one manning a different console of the ship. Legion was still able to communicate with the nanites, indicating that the jamming did not effect its own internal communication protocols.

The Crystal Gems

"I think someone else was down here, but I don't hear them anymore," Amber said to Black Pearl. "Is this...a communication device?" Amber clutches Black Pearl in her left hand, while reaching to interact with the massive gem.

Arsenio did not know either of the Institute alumni mentioned, but paid extra focus on the words 'automatons' and 'myalo'. He somehow knew that it would come to this, noting the irony of an automaton like himself having something that could only be called 'intuition'. He wondered at the possibility of just extricating himself, since the option was on the table, but he did recognize that his continued existence hinged on the mercy and whim of the Ministers. Better that he prove himself of benefit to them now than to have them question why they even keep him around at all. Perhaps, if the job was extremely successful, he could earn his continued existence and be freed of all future obligations to the city. An automaton could only dream, though Arsenio again noted the irony of an automaton dreaming.

Stepping forth, Arsenio declared himself, "Cinnamon Lace!" his higher-pitched, child's voice cutting through the room. His eyes darted around quickly in an attempt to note the faces of those who might be confused why a child was in such an operation. This would reveal to him who was aware of his true nature. Taking a bow, Arsenio stepped back, plopped himself back on the chair, and resumed reading the fantasy novel that Mr. Amidale had suggested to him.
