@Banana Hah, good luck with all that juggling!

If you want to roleplay the transformation we can, but otherwise, we can have it occur off-stage.

Tartys: "Knock Kn..
Miyu: *blam*
Tartys: .... I'll come back later."
@Banana Not just here on this roleplay, in general. It used to be like, three characters total in that thing, and now bam. You've been busy.
@Mega Birb

Alexi's Number of Psuedo-Sorta-Kinda-Maybe Friends: 1 0

Miyu, Traitor Angel Honorless Blade


Miyu was actually somewhat of an expert at keeping her cool when she couldn't see. She could tell the creature was still following her, but didn't want to show weakness, show that she was frightened. She had managed to bluff the demonic hosts for a decent amount of time, what seemed like so many years ago. Or maybe it was? She wasn't really sure. Other than Tartys appreciating her gift, Miyu had stopped really having a reason to keep track of time after her last birthday had gone so disastrously. She'd have to check if she had a callender program or something somewhere. Maybe she'd be able to check based off of her dispatch for the second Daimyo she had exploded at Alt Signia.

She frowned, and now here she was, thinking about another one of her greatest failings as a person. At least it ultimately didn't matter that she had harmed the Angelic war effort, with how unimportant said war was. Still, it felt like cowardice, and that wasn't a fun emotion to recognize in oneself.

And finally, her fumbling fingers found the entryway to her solitary fortress, and she entered. No key or code needed, her factory was free for anyone to enter. Not that anyone other than herself ever had since she had claimed it as her own. Boy, more depressing thoughts.

Feeling her way over to the massive desk strewn with the tools and parts for a thousand minor mechanical pieces of the Daimyo mech type and associated addons such as the drop-carrier or her ill-fated speedboat shoes, Miyu plopped the Autopilot Gestalt down, having no hope of reinstalling it in a mech in her blinded state. Finding her favored spiny chair, a velvet green marked with dark splatters from heavy use, she sat down.

"Bleh.. How do I feel like killing myself this time? Jump in the forge like usual? That's getting a bit old and if I mess up while blind I could set this place aflame. I could rip these annoying new eyes and their stupid messages out and enjoy the bleedout, but I'm not sure that'd kill me if the symbiote whatever gave me a healing factor like the fact that I have no electrical burns seems to indicate. Hmm... Guess I'll do it the old fashioned way." Miyu twirled in her spinny chair as she contemplated her method of suicide. Once she had been very afraid of death, but now it was an old friend. She was sure resurrecting would fix whatever the strange machina-demon had done to her.

She pulled out her sidearm, flicked it to burst fire, and made to shoot herself in the head. It's not like any of her "pets" would starve while she was dead, given their fusion reactors.

@Inner Demon
@Banana Man, your characters tab has just exploded.
I too will post tonight.
@Flamelord In before Lucille's one power includes immunity to fire.
@Flamelord In before Lucille shows up specifically to beat up Tartys and not!Titania for some reason.
As for your second point, I don't think so much like that. For example, if Juno fight against someone like Alexi she may have got damaged (much less than Ira, since Juno is a tank), but against Gelgath or Hibiki, it wouldn't even be a fight. There's a point when you have to take. The differences between characters into account in a more serious way, I mean.


But here's the thing, Alexi vs Gelgath or Hibiki would be an honest battle of equals. Alexi never had anything that established having a higher power level than them. Ira, who was a FACTION LEADER played down to the level of slightly better than normal combatants for that fight, allowing Syphax and Alexi to land blows at the cost of taking worse hits themselves (to represent Ira being slightly stronger). When you used Juno, she didn't use her powers to instantly teleport behind and black hole everyone for instant kills and wrap up the fight in a minute, even though she could. And when you powered up to Jorm (supposedly x10 or something like that if I remember correctly), it hardly made any difference, because you still played down what Jorm's power level really should be in order to give the fights some flair. If Juno had landed a hit on Henry before powering up, I bet he would have been on the verge of death. And after x10, it was still "verge of death" after being hit. Similarly with Alexi's power up, I don't think it would have mattered one bit if I had said her power up was x100 or x1000. I seriously doubt Windel has carefully plotted "Yes, Ira is 844 times faster than Alexi, so Alexi's speed times 1000 should slightly beat her". Windel probably just went "Alright, Alexi's using a strong one use charged up attack that Ira cockily walked into, I'll let Alexi get one decent hit in."

Sure, there's a point when you're too weak (Miyu. Pretty much Miyu), but if you're anybody else, we always seem to whitewash moderate levels of supposed power disparity. Like the fact that Henry can survive a full power hit from JORM and yet other people with power levels supposedly a thousand times lower can also incapacitate Henry.

Also, on the note of Frog, he's THE BEST artillery character as soon as he figures out the application of fullerened antimatter.
