Hopefully I'll have a post up soon.
If not today, tomorrow for sure.

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

Most Recent Posts
Name: Anno
Age: 21
Appearance: Usually in skirts though and that tiny jacket is really nice. But, um, kind of pale skin, blue eyes, brown hair, tends to wear reds and blues.
Powers/Equipment: Anno has become capable of accessing the Gaia Library, and of using the Cyclone Memory to become the right half of Kamen Rider Double. Naturally this means she has the other Double Driver and the Cyclone Memory.
Personality: Shy and somewhat reclusive, Anno spends most of her time reading or on the computer. While she is a bit more likely to be somewhat open among friends, her nerves get to her easily and she sometimes suffers from anxiety. She does her best to try and work through this, but it can sometimes be rather difficult to do so. She is a fan of action and slice of life works, as well as comedies. She is also a fan of yuri. She likes cute things a great deal and is very, very much against seeing children hurt for any reason. Anno is a massive fan of the Nasuverse, Touhou, and a lot of other things that would take an unnecessarily large amount of space to list. She is rather easy to embarrass and make feel rather awkward, however.
Brief Backstory: Anno's life is mostly uninteresting, she's mostly just a normal girl.
Other: The other half Rin was talking about so yeah. ^^;

Cynthia Lee
Blood sprayed from the horrible crystal creature as the weapons penetrated its body. It let out a piercing shriek and struggled, but it was too late. The sword cleaved it in half, blood and crystal shards splattering onto the cobblestones as its body was cut apart. Cynthia covered her eyes. It was... it was scary, it was really scary... but that thing was a monster! A Puppet-thing! Killing it was good, right? As the creature finally fell to pieces, blood leaking from the shards that had once composed its body, it began to fade. The blood and crystal dissipated into golden lights, which drifted towards Transient Princess. Had she felt any fatigue from the battle, it would immediately be refreshed.
Finally uncovering her eyes, Cynthia looked around. There was no sign of the puppet-thing... taking a deep breath, she looked up at the Doll. She... she was still so amazing! A real Doll... it was too fantastic to believe, but there she was! Cynthia managed a weak smile, the fear still getting to her even though the creature was dead. But... there were some confusing things, now...
"... My name's Cynthia..." she said, trying to get the whole 'Alice' thing out of the way first. Unsure of what to say to the rest(even if a game would be fun) she continued. "... Games... games are nice, but... was... was that a Puppet?"

VV
"... Tch, really? You're uncooperative, aren't you?" VV replied, frowning deeply. Of course she got someone who was so stubborn... Oh well, she'd just have to learn, right? It wasn't like she had the best weapons to defend herself, even if nails were the bane of Dolls regardless. And, well, there was no way VV would let her get hurt. After all, if her property died, so did she. That was the trouble with anchoring in the human world. But hey, this nun was pretty cute at least... "Oi, I'm definitely the stronger one out of the both of us. So you're mine. My Master, and my Master's my property, got it?"
She raised an eyebrow, leaning close. Jeez, if her Master kept being all weird, she'd have to punish her... anyway, it was probably a good idea to let her in on a few things. Name, fact that she wasn't going to just murder people or any stupid nonsense like that... yeah, that seemed like a good idea. "Anyway, the name's VV. Don't go worrying your pretty little Hunter head about me going and killing people or something, unless they're a threat to you. I'm not some scumbag like the Puppeteers."
Leaning back, she grinned, rubbing her hands together. "And if that doesn't give you the message, I can drill the information in another way, got it?"

Thank you.
In-character actions are good and all, but the characters fighting him are very good counters to him and outnumber him, and you have to remember that there are other people participating in the fight, playing those other characters.
Again, don't feel like you need him to be crippled or something, but getting hurt and realizing he's up against some tough opponents and it might be a good idea to try and complete his objective instead would probably work fine.

Ooookay that's enough.
I am all for fights being fun and interesting from all angles, but this is getting really ridiculous now. @Scarifar, while I understand not wanting to have your character get killed or anything, you do realize he's really outgunned? Having him pull off ridiculous things and basically saying he's better than both people fighting him(a literal goddess with metal as part of her domain and a human electromagnet and one of the strongest Espers in her setting) when not even using his full power is pretty ridiculous.
You've also been no-selling literally everything thrown at Senbonzakura regardless of what it is in increasingly implausible ways. At this point, wouldn't it make much more sense for him to take some damage, realize he's outgunned, and try and, say, grab the girl(who is his actual objective) instead of performing feats of implausibility that make him seem like the most powerful character in the RP?
I'm not saying the damage needs to be serious, but he should at least be hurt somehow.

When Rain posts I'll post again, so I can post for both VV and Cynthia.
Dlanor is on the Tangrisnir, which will be landing soon.
I'm not sure where would be a good place for Subaru right now, though. Hmm.

Decide amongst yourselves, I'll intervene if things get out of hand.
I honestly don't think it's a good idea for everyone to meet up right now. ^^;
For one thing, while some Dolls might eventually decide to team up, most of the time the reaction is, well...
"I don't trust you, don't go near my Master, we're going to fight now."
