I think watching fight scenes can help in general terms with writing combat, since it can give you an idea of flow and choreography.

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.

@IncredibleBee: Okay, even beyond what I've heard that he apparently would not immediately attack...
You've outright ignored my IC post about her defending herself. I did stop arguing in the OOC, yes, but that was because I was trying to figure out how to word my response. It's never acceptable to instant-kill any NPC's aside from mook characters. Also of note, when I say mook I mean the nameless kinds that are just there for a fight scene.
At this point I'm seeing very little options, especially with your insistence on ignoring what the GM says.
@Laughing Matter: You have indeed been ghosting, and if I knew you meant that level of durability I would not have accepted your character.
I don't think there's many characters who can put that level of power into an attack, and they few that can don't do it for every basic attack. Very few require that amount of damage to hurt them. Maybe Saber if it's a totally mundane form of attack, but even then...
It's also worth noting that Black Rock Shooter was not using attacks of that level of power, those were her basic shots. I'm wondering if you're simply wary of trying to no-sell the GM's characters.
If that's the case you should apply that to all characters, not just mine. Ghosting away every hit and treating your character as an unstoppable force of destruction is really not acceptable.
Even Dlanor, who canonically completely ignores pain, is a an incredibly murderous executioner of heaven, and has taken a spear through her neck and not even flinched can still be disabled by damaging her limbs even if it won't be permanent(but then this is an RP and permanent injuries should only be dealt with player permission anyway).
Edit: I think it's important to note that Dlanor seems pretty much immune to things that don't actually cause injury. Nothing like that seems to harm her at any point, so if you want to hurt her go for things that cause those kinds of wounds.
Also the red text is representing Red Truth, which she often uses in this situation. It's... words that are literally red and are also absolutely true. Of course, the way it's worded means that Dlanor will always plan on killing these people, not that she won't say, leave if ordered to or for whatever reason. It is purely referring to her intent, since Red Truth is true but can be worded in ways that leave openings for other things.

When I do my bigger post I'll reply with her. ^^; I'm posting with Dlanor just because she's in a fight.
Well, I mentioned that secrecy of magic isn't just because your neighborhood doesn't practice it, for one. ^^;
Dlanor A. Knox – The Museum World
Dlanor paused for the briefest of moments when her target managed to sidestep her charge. However, it didn't matter. He was an offender, a member of Shadow Eternity who clearly had little regard for the lives of any civilians who could be caught in harm's way. The small girl wasted little time in raising her golden-armored left arm and swinging it towards him, her blow becoming a golden blow as it hurtled towards the side of his head. However, there was little time to follow throw, regardless of if it hit or not.
For at that moment, a portal opened behind the both of them and a hail of bullets erupted from it. All Dlanor could really do to avoid it was propel herself to the side, the burst of red light around her feet sending her to the left of the portal. Still, a bullet tore through her arm. As she came to a halt, she briefly regarded the wound. Blood trickled from it, and it was certainly not comfortable... but it was not as if it was anything she would divert attention to. Instead, she immediately spun to face Kiba, but her next address was to all the non-UMMA forces present.
"This is your last WARNING," she said, simply. As she continued to speak, her catlike smile returned. "I will use lethal force if you do not stand DOWN."
You haven't actually addressed a few of my issues, you also haven't edited his name throughout the entire bio.
Dlanor A. Knox – The Museum World
Dlanor decided there was little else she could have expected. But that didn't bother her, oh no. For a brief moment, a catlike smile flashed across her face before her stoic expression returned. The targets varied in their immediate danger and she did not know their individual combat capabilities. However, the moment the armored man made his attack, he became her prime target. He had used a technique that threatened the widest amount of area, and as such was logically the first target for her to eliminate. The others could be judged as they made their moves. Dlanor stepped forward, one boot placing itself against the floor. The Red Key hummed as she lowered it, and lowered her shoulder. She was briefly aware of the long, crimson blade slicing the tiled floor with a hiss, but that was the least of this museum's worries at this point.
There seemed to be some sort of dispute within Shadow Eternity, but that matter could wait.
A reddish light formed around Dlanor's feet, and suddenly she was lifted from the ground and the air burst around her as she erupted forward. The wind produced by the speeds she was moving at whipped against her face and caught her hair drills, carrying them behind her as she jetted towards her target, aiming to slam her shoulder into the armored man.
Saten Ruiko
At this point, Ruiko couldn't restrain herself. A dog that was there, but wasn't?! This had to have something to do with the rumor! There was no way it wasn't something to do with it. Stepping forward, she couldn't stop herself. Sure, it was a job for Judgement, but on the other hand she knew that bringing up the rumor would help out! After all, if this girl got away from the ghost, that meant that there was a whole lot they could learn about it!
"That dog must be related to the ghost!" she declared, "After all, why else would one person see a dog and the other person only see some guy?"
Misaka Mikoto
For a few moments, Mikoto was silent after the smaller girl relayed her story, and the highschooler mentioned that she hadn't seen a dog. Judging by their testimony, it was pretty obvious that something had happened, but what exactly? This was Academy City, and naturally that meant it was very likely that there was some kind of Esper power behind the appearance of the dog... the rumor about the ghost was just plain silly. Still, what kind of power would it be? Maybe it was some kind of illusion, or appearance-masking?
"... If only one of you saw the dog..." Mikoto began, thinking things through as she spoke, "... Then maybe it was some kind of illusion? Or its appearance was masked?"
She didn't pause for a moment to think that she was basically taking over for Judgement right now, and asking all the questions before they did. It was just what was coming naturally to her, Mikoto had to help out.
@duskshine749: You can't make anything solid out of darkness. There's certainly offensive spells that just about anyone can use dealing with a variety of methods, just as there are defensive ones and barrier spells and other things of that nature. These are often tweaked to work various affinities.
The swords don't really make sense as they're hard to conceal and don't have an explanation.
@Satsuki: I'd just wait.

@duskshine749: Okay, he... honestly should get a name that's not literally "Wind Darkness" ^^;. Also you should probably explain the swords... also, as a magi with an affinity for darkness he wouldn't need grenades to make an area dark. That's probably a fairly elementary spell for the darkness affinity. Also, magic is pretty strictly secret, so there's more reasons not to practice magic where non-supernatural people can see beyond not living in the right neighborhood. ^^;
... Also this is kind of a weird, complicated thing, but any transit spells are actually air-related. Which is fine as magi can learn outside of their affinity, and teleporting from shadow to shadow could be a method of simplifying the spell in question.
@Satsuki: We'll see, I have someone planning to sign up and I'm accepting two more characters at most.
