The Guardian and The Ghoul (Ranked fight at The Ambassador's Ball)

That's up to your character's agility. If he was fast enough to make the turn and block, then there. If he wasn't fast enough it can go two ways: he gets shot and the match ends OR he gets shot, but because of attempting to change directions, he didn't get hit in an important or fatal area.

Herculean Academy, The Top School for Aspiring Superheroes: Prologue

:::::::::::::::::::::
::: Deia Ticy :::
:::::::::::::::::::::

Deia as of now had nothing to do. No orders, no immediate threats against Master Nina, nothing. For the first time in her life, Deia had nothing to do. This new nothingness stunned Deia, who was used to receiving orders every hour or so.

With this new nothingness, however, came another new experience.

Thought

Her own thoughts, not preoccupied with countering threats or trying to work began to wander into new places. They weren't normal or deep thoughts by any means, but they were still new - they were still things she had never had the time to think about, and she began wondering all the more.

"What is this place?

"What am I doing here?

"Who are all those people?

"Why do some of them look so small?

"When am I going to be able to remove these clothes?

"What am I really doing here?

"When will I be able to walk again?

"Why does Nina want me to talk?

"What does Nina want from me?"

Such were the thoughts running through the little espers head. Some thoughts were uncomfortable for her to consider, but none of them were unwelcome . . . however, she did wonder if any of her questions would be answered, or if her questions even mattered at all.

Deia was still staring at Nina, and despite her thoughts she was outwardly still, and as expressionless as ever. The small girl tilted her head and asked:

"Whaaad aru yauw nexut orrers, Nee-nuh?" in the same raspy and atrophied voice. She desperately wanted something to do, if only so she wouldn't have to think anymore.

Hogwarts: Ignition - Year One

<Julius Hillshire>

Julius paced around, an excited look on his face. He was in Slytherin! It was not Hufflepuff like he wanted, but his dad said that Slytherin was probably the best house in Hogwarts, so he was fine with that!

Of course, his celebration was dampened by the fact that he was in trouble before the first day of classes even started. That had to be a new record, or something.

Oh whatever, it doesn't detract from the fact that Hogwarts was freaking amazing! Look at those walls! The candles! The stairs that were freaking moving!!! He bounced around, looking everywhere he could as they were led to what was probably the principals office. He turned to look at some of the others, and spotted Rozie, James and Moriah. He walked up to them, a grin on his face.

"Man this place is a-freaking-mazing, don't you think? I can't wait for the lessons to start," he said rapidly. "So how do you feel about your houses? I got into Slytherin. It's not Hufflepuff, but it's still pretty cool I guess. Say, I wonder if Wade is around here? I should probably talk to him - that punch to the liver is gonna need an apology, or something."

Victory Requirements: Death, KO’ed, Forfeit
Wager: Negotiable
Stipulation: The effects of Meruin's spells will be stated as they are cast and not before.

Meruin Hazy

Gender: Female
Age: 19
Race: Human

Appearance:
Stands at 5^ft 3ⁱⁿ (160^cm) with emerald green eyes and black hair as long as she is. Her attire is a long ornate robe with detachable sleeves. The skirt area has a split frontal area that reveals her legs. She's wearing pants underneath.

Personality:
Taciturn, strategical and calm. Meruin is slow to act immediately, as she begins a fight by gathering information first and foremost, while constantly thinking of plans on the way. Even in a crisis she keeps her cool. However, this same calm demeanor makes her especially affected when she does become surprised. Catching her off guard is difficulty, but when she is, she momentarily blanks out.

Abilities:
A whole host magical spells, barriers, potions and items, however most of her abilities take time to set up. She makes up for her lack of physical strength by keeping the enemy at bay with magic.

Spells

Three-Pronged Barrier - A barrier that extends up in a three meter radius around her. Every meter radius, the effects of the barrier change. The first meter blocks all physical objects used against her up until a certain point, the second barrier stops five qualified supernatural attacks against her (the attack must be able to destroy a car in one hit, or have equivalent effects to be qualified as 'an attack' - thus, weaker attacks can slip under this barrier) the third barrier instantly teleports an attacker outside the barriers range with a maximum limit of two times. Can be cast instantly when ready, however cannot be used in succession.

Seven Point Barrier - an improved version of the Three-Pronged Barrier with a total distance of seven meters. Takes some time to set up (a total of 14 posts IC)
Barrier effects:

• 1st - Binds all physical objects that come in range of it.
• 2nd - Absorbs information on whatever managed to break through the first.
• 3rd - Provides an elemental counter (if available) for whatever broke through the first.
• 4th - Absorbs information on what broke through the 3rd barrier.
• 5th - Double layered barrier that is configured to repel physical and magical attacks. Strength is based from the 4th barriers data.
• 6th - A triggered barrier. Once a person steps inside its range, it creates a massive explosion of ice that damages and freezes anything within a 3 meter range.
• 7th - Protects Meruin from the sixth barriers explosion OR from any other explosion, should the sixth not activate.

Magic Bullet - a simple magic bullet that is very versatile in it's use. Can be fired from anywhere within 1 meter of Meruin, with varying effective range. It can be cast instantly for normal usage, but it's different versions take time to use. Can be delayed and stored for later use.

Bullet Types:

• Normal Magic bullet - Normal magic bullet. Packs as much punch as a 9mm handgun. Insant cast. Effective range of 20 meters.
• Elemental Magic bullet - a magic bullet that is infused with an element. Takes 1 post IC tp prepare a 3 bullets. Produces the same base kinetic force as a normal Magic Bullet, however the mass, effect and velocity of the bullet changes depending on the element. Effective range varies, with a base range of 20 meters.
• Puncture bullet - A bullet specifically designed to puncture barriers and shields, both magical and not. Takes 1 post IC to prepare 4 bullets. Effective range of 30 meters.
• Sealing bullet - seals away an object or person. Said object is sealed in a pocket dimension for until Meruin releases it. Once released, the object reappears where it was last sealed, in the state from before it was sealed. Takes 2 posts to prepare 1 bullet. Cannot seal living things. Effective range of 20 meters.
• Temporal bullet - sends an object (people included) or collective mass back in time. It's effects can be delayed. Each bullet contains exactly -3 seconds. It's effects can be stacked. Takes 2 posts IC to ready three bullets. Effective range of 50 meters.

Magic Missile - A large clump of magic. Not as versatile as a Magic Bullet, but certainly more powerful.

Types of Magic Missiles:

• Normal Magic Missile - Possess the power of two anti-tank missiles. Takes 2 IC posts to produce 1. Effective range of 100 meters.
• Cluster Missile -

Equipment:
A ring that can remove a 'concept' from herself. Once used, it takes time before it can be used again.
A potion that gives her temporary clairvoyance. Lasts for 6 posts IC.

Bio:
Came from a family of normal people, however she was disgusted by their lack of ambition in their life. One day, she happened upon a woman, Reina Wisdom, who would become her master in the magical arts. Some time passed and she has since created a reputation of her own as a talented young mage.

Cutting a bullet, as well as an iron ball from a musket, is indeed possible - of course, having the speed to react to it is a different story, but that's not what you wanted to hear, right?

Anyway, muskets don't have the caliber to break a steel sword. Also, due to it's own velocity, the moment it comes in contact with the blade it effectively cuts itself - the blade just helps with that. As for the two pieces, because of the impact, the direction they split will go in a wide angle - where they land is unsure, but it's definitely going to be far from the one holding the sword.

I hope you don't mind my commenting, you did ask :)

~Karen Antonius~

Karen had an amused look on her face as she watched the exchange between Nick and Damian, as well as nodding in approval after he apologized for the food. She took a moment to have a few bites of her meal before responding to his question. "Why does anyone sit with someone? Do I need to have a reason?" she said with a light smile. "Well, I suppose I can say for your peace of mind that I am bored, and I think that you're an interesting person to be around; as always, my assumption was correct."

As she said this, she pointed to Nick, then to the Dark Mark still hanging in the air. "Speaking of which, does your friend not know what that symbol means?" she wondered. Some time has passed since the dark times where Voldemort ran loose, but they weren't so far away that they could be considered ancient history. The scars from the war were still healing, and even if the new generation did not know of the fear Voldemort produced, they should still know better than to invoke his mark in the presence of people who did - like the teachers.

"I can't imagine that the teachers are going to like that very much," she said, mildly amused.

Screw you!

@ScorpionLantern

Not interested in incest. Sorry little sister :P
Anyway, the fourth year is a prior arrangement we've had for PLOT reasons. Mostly. We haven't really all discussed it xD

Camp for Supernatural Teens

Haha, I wanted to post earlier, but I had no idea what to do :P

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Oh yeah, speaking of which, @Tip do we have room for another player? My sister is interested. I think. She has a habit of telling me she is then doesn't show up, right @ScorpionLantern?

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Depends actually. The scheduling of Hogwarts classes is generally two Houses per lesson, but it is a weekend, so that might be different. In any case, I was waiting for @Asuu to respond, but it's taking a bit long so I'll just work on a filler post now.
