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.

I'm really sorry, but the skipping ahead part has me completely stuck on what to even try here.
I don't think post order is too much to worry about. ^^;
In fact, waiting for post order can seriously hurt RPs.

I'd... limit it to two at most honestly. I was considering one but letting people make two fills out the roster more.
You'll never face yourself though.

Name: Yomikawa Haruko
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance: "Hey, I DO know how to use this..."
Personality: Haruko is a fairly casual and friendly girl, who is the type of person to try and be nice to everyone. At least so long as they don't push her too far. A girl born in Tengoku City, she finds the unusual commonplace, and is quite used to the presence of magi, youkai, cyborgs, onmyouji... just about anything is of no surprise to Yomikawa Haruko. However, she was certain that, until recently, she was just a normal girl with no special traits or abilities at all. Even surrounded by the uncommon, she felt that she was very much in the common category, which made the discovery and reaction of her katana all the more surprising. Haruko believes very firmly that if you can manage it, you should help out anyone, and that someone who truly wishes to be heroic should strive to do such a thing. She can't even deny that she wishes to be a hero like that, deep down.
Skills: Haruko is a decent sprinter. She knows how to cook well enough, and in her opinion makes a pretty awesome tonkotsu ramen. Haruko has had some experience in kendo, but never in real swordplay, and therefore her surprise at her abilities in using the katana was quite justified. However, it is mostly instinctive, and she will have to work harder to match true masters of swordplay.
Abilities: As of now, nothing beyond what one would expect from a teenaged girl.
Equipment: Haruko carries very little equipment(unless you count a cell phone), save for a nameless katana. This nameless blade is crafted with the finest techniques, but no sign of its creator is left upon the weapon. It has exceptional cutting capability and seems impossible to mar, but other then that Haruko has been unable to discern if it has any other abilities. It can only be unsheathed by her, however, and she has no idea why.
Brief History: Haruko was only a few years old when her father vanished. She remembers, vaguely, his words. That to make a brighter world for his daughter, he needed to help people. To be a hero. She never saw him again, but those words stayed with her.
With the exception of her father's disappearance, Haruko has lead a relatively normal life, for a given value of normal in Tengoku City. She attended kindergarten with youkai, played with the children of mage families in elementary school, made friends with a girl composed entirely of slime in middle school, and now has moved on to her high school life. Throughout all of this, nothing at all indicated to her that she was anything other then a normal girl...
Until...
Not far from her home, there lay the burned out ruins of what had once, many years before her birth, been the Yomikawa residence. The tragic fire that had claimed it had destroyed an incredibly old building with a great deal of history. Haruko felt as if it was her duty to pay the ruins a visit, given it had been her family's home for so long. Even if she had never lived in it. And yet she felt drawn to the ruins. Find herself standing the the wreckage, she wondered why it had never been cleared before finding something strange. Digging it out of the lingering ash, she discovered a sheathed katana. Feeling as if she had found something deeply important to her, Haruko brought it home and was told she must have found an heirloom that had survived the fire. And yet... something made her feel as if there was more to it then that. Finally she unsheathed the blade, and found herself with an instinctive ability to wield it.
Her mind was set when she heard about the Tournament. A wish was a dangerous thing to just give to anyone, and if she won that meant she got it... and so she entered, determined to win.

The year is 2031. It has been, roughly, one-hundred seventy-two years since magic was fully revealed to the world at large. It has, in this time, become a well-known facet of life. Many are capable of it, but some are not. Regardless, it exists. Controlled by spells or rituals, or in some cases simply mental focus, magic is a well-known fact throughout the world. However, it is not the only power. Technology has grown throughout the years, and while the world itself has not gained a futuristic sheen like some have predicted, progress has created amazing technological feats. Magic and technology are both forces in this world, paving a way into the future. In some cases they are even combined into a form that allows for the usage of magic to bolster technology, or vice versa.
No-where in the world is this more evident then Tengoku City. Fitted with its own space elevator, and filled with the latest advancements in technology, Tengoku City is also home to a vast amount of magic users. This combined nature, the most integrated of all cities in the world, leads to it gaining a great deal of attention from all across the planet.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the entire matter began. It started with posters no-one claimed to have seen been placed, appearing across the city and advertising an unusual event. A tournament, a battle between all those who wished to participate for one, single prize. It was no simple thing that could be gained in the world normally, or even through advanced magic or technology. No, the prize this tournament promised was something... more.
A wish.
Many dismissed this as some sort of strange publicity stunt or prank, at least until stalls promising registry for the tournament appeared all across Tengoku City. All those who registered were promised a place in the tournament... and the most skeptic of this existence were proven wrong when an entire stadium was suddenly being constructed near the center of the city. Baffled officials discovered that it had apparently been scheduled for months.
Regardless of the bizarre circumstances surrounding the tournament and the stadium, it became a draw for people even outside the city. Many wished to simply spectate, but others truly intended to participate and win their wish.
There can only be one victor.
Today, the tournament begins.
Just what is the truth behind it?

So... this is a bit of a tournament RP, only the tournament is pretty strange and mysterious and it's in a world filled with advanced magic and technology. I'm on the lookout for a willing Co-GM, but for now here's some basic stuff.
Playable:
Humans: Can be a whole lot of things! Can use magic, technology, or both!
Ridiculously Human Robots: Robots replicating humans are rare, but they exist. Some are tuned to use magic as well.
Magical Creatures: I'm willing to allow a fair amount of these, from vampires to youkai. However, I ask that they're all human-like, at least.

That reminds me, I'm not sure she could actually trace Katana Lady's katana.
... I need to actually get into a situation where saying her name makes sense so I can name her, too.
But it's a lot more mechanical then it looks, and if Ilya-Archer's abilities are similar to canon Archer she can't actually trace mechanical things.

I wasn't quite sure what to do with that honestly, but I'll try and get one up tomorrow then.
