Current 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.

@Willy Vereb: I'd recommend you insert yourself into a plotline in action already, yes.

The Bloodborne subplot is more based around tackling the people distributing the blood then the disease itself, given that IC the UMMA has a pretty good response to this sort of thing and OOC it would draw waaay too much of the plot into it to keep the RP moving.

So if you want to hunt down some unscrupulous malevolent doctors that could be a good angle.

Otherwise, the other big UMMA option at the moment is helping a Vampire Queen protect her family heirloom artifact.

@Laughing Matter: There's a difference between avoiding lethal attacks and allowing nonlethal ones to have any effect. Whatever I did that wasn't lethal with Dlanor was basically brushed off completely.
Milly, arms still folded across her chest, came to a halt when she heard Johnathan's voice. He was kind of a weird guy(because being an underdeveloped girl with an explosives fetish isn't weird at all, is it?) but he was also pretty nice, and he seemed to also be one of the few people who acknowledged that she was just a late bloomer and her current appearance would probably be long gone even by next year! She had grown taller? Satisfaction swelled inside of the tiny girl as she unfolded her arms and placed one hand against her chest.

"Of course! There's no question about it," she began with a smile, "Just because I look like this now, doesn't mean I'm not still growing! By next year I'll be a bombshell that knocks any other girl on this ship aside!"

Her smile radiated confidence. Of course it would be like that, right? It had to be! And of course she was going to have breakfast... though that last comment intrigued her. Something interesting!? In Milly's mind, that could mean only one thing! She placed her hands against her cheeks, her heart hammering in her chest as the thought of more efficient gunpowder, the heat of explosions, and all kinds of amazing, wonderful, perfect and great things! The thought of new explosives filled her with so much excitement she could barely contain it, even as she approached the ship's kitchen to get her meal, going through the motions of getting her food while her mind was clearly fixated elsewhere.

"Haaah... gunpowder~"
I try very hard to use original art when I'm not drawing a character myself. ^^; Sometimes it doesn't work out though.

Anyway, um, will probably post again soon.
As Milly strolled away from her room, something that she had heard finally caught up to her.

'Minnie'.

A simmering heat built up in the pale girl's heart. Her name wasn't Minnie! It absolutely wasn't! Sure, some people on the ship had decided it was a great idea to start calling her that, but it wasn't her name! She spun on her heel, her dress fluttering as she did, raising one finger.

"My name's not Minnie! Just because it sounds like... sounds... like..." she blinked, confused, looking around. The girl who had referred to her by that name(it was definitely a female voice) was long gone by now. Milly, though she hadn't realized it, was still rather groggy from waking up. It had taken quite a while for the words to catch up to her. For a few moments, the small girl stood there, before folding her arms over her chest in irritation and turning away as she proceeded across the deck. Hmph, calling her Minnie... she was just a late bloomer!

At the very least, it was quite a nice day outside. There was a good wind, it was clear out... Yes, certainly, they'd probably find somewhere where she could blow something up soon!
I'd like to explain why I made that last post.

At the beginning of the fight, I was willing to have Dlanor be defeated. I even explained a few times how she could be defeated(non-lethally, since this is an RP and character death is strictly at the discretion of the player). Damage her limbs enough that she can't use them, which would either be making it so she can't support herself on them or simply cutting them off. She can regenerate that but it would put her down long enough that she'd lose the fight.

However, @Laughing Matter, your conduct in this fight has been extremely poor. You've repeatedly no-selled attacks(I admit Dlanor hasn't taken anything she considers a serious injury, but that's because aside from the impalement and the energy blasts the attacks you made are things that would actually kill her and therefore I couldn't let them make contact), and for that reason I've used my spot as a GM to put the nail in the coffin as far as this fight goes.

I was initially willing to let Kiba win, but your conduct has burned away all that good will.

I sincerely hope you learn from this experience the next time you write a fight scene. Hopefully that will lead to a much more enjoyable sequence for everyone involved where Kiba might win.

On another note, I'm aiming to end the fight in this post and the next to keep it from going on too long.
Dlanor A. Knox - The Museum World


Of course, attempting to punch someone when they are carrying you by the neck and rocketing through the air at high speeds is rarely a good idea.

The strike missed, sailing past Dlanor's head. She didn't even notice. It would have been wiser to attempt to disable her limbs, perhaps, but even that would be difficult now. It was a fact that should have been considered earlier than this. It didn't matter anymore. There was a blast of dust and debris as Dlanor's enemy slammed into the brick wall. Masonry and brick gave way explosively, scattering across the ground as the armored man was forced through it. The Angel of Heaven did not stop then. Grinning wildly, she brought him back and slammed him into what remained of the wall. Over. And over. And over.

With a final push, his head went through the outer wall, and he got a brief glimpse of the outside before being dragged back through. Yes, yes, Dlanor would kill him. She was certain, she would cut him apart until there was nothing left! An evildoer who would have killed so many innocents would be destroyed!

Releasing his neck as she spun, there was a hiss as the Red Key met flesh...

Perhaps it was the gaping wound in her chest, that had indeed severed her spine. While against all logic Dlanor could continue to walk and operate without an intact spine(though damaging her limbs enough would still stop her), and it was not considered a life-threatening injury for an Angel of the Lord, it was impossible to deny that it may have had an effect on her aim. The Red Key bit into armor and rent a cut through flesh, but it was a shallow one, barely deep enough to draw blood as it sliced along his upper chest. It was hardly bisecting him, as the Executioner had originally intended.

Dlanor watched as the armored man skidded across the floor.

It was then that a familiar voice would contact him.

Weather-based original Rider!
Might be joining since I do have ideas.
Well, I was planning on making one if it was okay so yeah. ^^;
I think you missed me asking, um... is it okay to play an antagonist so all the antagonists aren't NPCs?
