RPGuild Ranked Tournament - Tuujaimaa vs. Melonhead

Jok's entry to the forest would initially go unnoticed, as his distance and the lack of obvious noises that he made were enough to obscure his presence from the Windspeaker, but his settling point was close enough that Touho knew something had entered the vicinity. She did not make any overt movements that could give away her position nor change her breathing patterns, but silently moved the digits on her right hand, twisting her wrist slightly, as she created Symbols of Fuujin with which to be prepared. While she would stop (or speed up depending) upon hearing another movement or seeing something to suggest such movements, the Symbols would mount fairly quickly until she had created five.

Her first technique would likely be Spiritual Armour in order to get a feel for her opponent's preference for range - she was capable at mid range and short range, but had an offensive disadvantage at the longer ranges. The more quickly she could cover the distance, the easier it would be to land a crippling blow and win the fight from there. These assumptions were just that, however, and she withheld any true judgement until she knew the capabilities (or at least had a cursory idea) of her opponent. Any significant action before that would be brash.

Apologies - I've been pretty busy recently. I'll get a post up today.

Devil's Storm

There's no particular rush, @The Wanderer! Devil's Storm isn't exactly going to be fast paced anyway.

Devil's Storm

@Silen Syanka: The bio's definitely up to scratch now, but I can't let you create bullets made of fire/electricity with any sort of frequency/ease without giving you a crystal, and I'm just not comfortable enough to give you a crystal. You'd also have no way of getting access to inscribed crystals, which are the balancing mechanic given to those who do have crystals. You can certainly imbue your bullets with fire and electricity, but until you get a crystal that scope of magic will just be beyond you. :/

Devil's Storm

It would be challenging to meet such a requirement without a crystal, and the justification for the existing characters with crystals is A) Quality of Bio, and B) Use of crystal carving that locks the crystals into use of that spell and that spell alone. I'll leave the finer points up to Innue, but I'd expect to see a very well fleshed out character in order to obtain that sort of power.

The nature of tournaments was not one that could be described easily to a priestess who was the head of the military arm of her religion, but explanation or no she had been sent to participate and participate she would. Her first step on the island was in the forest to the north east, just by a river, and she wasted no time by preparing her Megumi no Fuujin immediately – without this crucial technique, much of her combat ability was rendered null and she was vulnerable to threats that she would not be when within the embrace of the Wind God.

It was safe to assume that she was not alone on the island, but a cursory glance around reminded Touho that the island was significantly larger than she had imagined her arena would be – her opponent could be nearby, but that was highly unlikely, and it was likely for the best if she stayed to the shadows until such a point as she could identify them.

Content to wait, Touho floated to the top of the nearby canopy – far enough back that the winds she commanded would not disturb the trees enough to give her position away and low enough down that seeing her would require some degree of searching. Her scope of vision was not immense as a compromise, but she would rather consider herself safe from an ambush than have perfect information.

It was not the way of the Windspeakers to hide, but measures had to be taken. Touho kept herself vigilant and prepared, awaiting some sign that her opponent was indeed on the island and was searching for her. It was only a matter of time, after all.

Devil's Storm

@Tuujaimaaokay! After work I will get going on fixing that

@Silen Syanka

If you want the restrictions laxed, you can simply have ordinary bullets that are charged with electricity. That would be easier to justify.

Devil's Storm

@Silen Syanka: I'd like to see a fully fledged paragraph for the personality, as well as some more clarification on precisely what the pistol does.

Magic works as such: Everybody has an inherent "mana" pool that is quite small. The nature of magic in the world of Devil's Storm is mostly Alteration, imbuing physical objects with other properties, and that's what most people should focus on (Innue can give further clarification when he's feeling better). Crystals have their own "mana" pools which can be tapped into, and while they are not limitless they vastly enhance an individual's ability to cast spells.

For a weapon such as your own, I (personally) would expect a significantly more fleshed out history and personality with explanations as to how/why it was made, etc. because it's very similar to the style of weapon that myself and The Wanderer have elected to use. Ours are more complex than yours, so I wouldn't hold you to that standard, but I'd like to see a more in order to feel comfortable giving you a crystal to begin with.

Apologies for the delay - will get a post up tonight or tomorrow.

Arena Chat Thread

I'm a fairly abrasive person, and I am often far too quick to throw words around - in that you're correct. I'm sorry for having been offensive.

In this instance, I wasn't referring specifically to you. You have taken some of Innue's points on board and I laid you for at least having made the effort to try. It is something that a lot of people have not done.
