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.

@DocTachyon: What are you aiming for me adding? It's just that she has an image, so I'm trying to figure out what else to describe in her appearance aside from height. ^^;
Okay, is anyone else going to be posting? Double-checking before I post later today, hopefully.
One of the bandits dropped down ahead of her, drawing his sword as she came into view.

Torako slowed, her sandals padding against the grass as she did. At this moment, she hardly looked threatening. A young woman in an ornate kimono, seemingly unarmed. As she approached, she gave him a stern, but still rather non-threatening look, before raising one arm to point at him. There was only one serious condemnation she could think of at the moment, or at least, one that she could actually say. Staring with utmost seriousness at the bandit, she belted out one single phrase.

"What would your mother think of what you've been doing?!"
"I'm on it!"

The seemingly useless in a fight, apparently defenseless, rather silly girl in the ornate kimono broke off into a run after the bandits. She didn't even appear to have her weapon on her, insofar as any observer could tell... but Torako herself knew better. Regardless, to any observes, including the people she had come here with, her actions looked completely and utterly foolish. In any case, Torako didn't want to let them escape. She'd catch up to them as quickly as possible, and, well... she'd have to see from there, wouldn't she? That was that, quite simply.
  • Name: KKR-V2(Kodona Kikai Ningyo Version Two), translated as Advanced Machine Doll Version Two. Her given name is Kiko.
  • Alias: Machine Doll Kiko(her identity is not secret)
  • Nickname(s): 'Kii-chan' to friends back home.
  • Age: Physically and mentally, she is a robotic replica of a sixteen-year-old girl. However, she has existed in an operational, completed state for roughly eight months.
  • Gender: Female
  • Powers: As KKR-V2, the second in a line of extremely human-like robots, Kiko's body is composed of an incredibly lightweight durable alloy frame beneath a layer of life-like synthetic skin. Her body replicates a human girl's, to the point where even close observation would render no discrepancies. Well, aside from the exposed joints of her legs and arms. She is incredibly durable, capable of withstanding high heat and pressure. She can continue to function even after losing limbs, though systems in her torso are liable to damage.
    Kiko's AI is contained in a black box inside her head, capable of withstanding even extremely powerful explosives that would obliterate the rest of Kiko's body. Each limb is strong enough to crush concrete and bend solid steel from impact. Using a highly advanced technology, Kiko can summon a protective armor, which also grants her flight capabilities. Finally, Kiko has a module that taps into "emotional output". In essence, the more fired up she becomes, the more powerful she can potentially become, though this can be hazardous to her body.
  • Skills/Abilities: Kiko is programmed with a full understanding of Japanese and English, though she is less used to English. She is also incredibly capable at making all varieties of ramen.
  • Equipment: Kiko is capable of summoning a suit of advanced armor. This armor protects her body further, and grants her flight capabilities. It is equipped with an energy sword capable of inflicting lethal or nonlethal damage depending on the settings. She is also equipped with a beam cannon and a set of small missiles with the armor activated.
    Kiko can trigger different modes of her armor. For now, this is Gear Blue, a ranged form constructing a set of floating cannons that can join into a much larger one, and Gear Red, a melee form focusing all power into her sword and detaching most of her armor to add speed. She can also divert power to various areas of the armor in its base state. Her use of the armor is constantly monitored by the Kimura institute in Japan.
  • Appearance: "What is it?" Kiko is around 5'1.
  • Costume: "Machine Doll ready for action!", "Machine Doll, AAAAARRRMOR OOOOOON!"
  • Personality: Kiko is a cheerful, friendly girl. As an advanced AI, she has a full emotional range, and her most commonly expressed emotions are happiness and cheer. She loves meeting new people, trying new things, and in general experiencing just about anything pleasant. Kiko also enjoys food(thankfully her body can burn it as fuel) a great deal, and loves making ramen for her friends. All of them. Every time she makes a new friend, she makes them a bowl of ramen. No matter what. Kiko is strongly convinced that she should try talking to anyone, even enemies, to see if she can get them to surrender. Only someone truly evil would ever earn lethal treatment from her, and even then she would try and talk them into reconsidering and surrendering first.
    Kiko is also extremely devoted to justice, holding an incredibly strong desire to protect the innocent and stop those who would harm others for their own sake and do evil. However, Kiko is incredibly naive and unaware of the world around her, and is easily fooled by white lies. However, she can also be remarkably perceptive in a fight and figure out battle strategies and bluffs. She has a tendency to jump into things too quickly, at the same time.
  • History: Kiko is based on a sixteen-year-old girl of the same name, who died tragically in a car accident. Her father, part of the project, modeled the new KKR-V2 on his daughter as a result, and advocated for increasing her firepower. His motivation was, in fact, so that his new "daughter" would never face the same fate. Built as a mechanical hero created to defeat threats to the world, Kiko was completed eight months ago. Her first deployments were as a normal schoolgirl. Her very first deployment ended with her stopping a truck with her bare hands when it threatened to crash into another girl. Roughly two months ago, she confronted and defeated a small group of minor supervillains in Tokyo. She has recently arrived in the US for an exhibition, and to grant her more experience with the world.


Spectacular!
I'll have my character done soon!
Really, it appeared that Torako had somehow managed to zone out while they were searching. Her eyes had a rather blank, glassy look to them, as if her mind was absolutely, entirely elsewhere. And yet, when Liu spoke louder than normal, Torako seemed to instantly snap to attention. She turned immediately to face the boy, giving him a wide, cheerful smile as she did. The pale-haired girl's kimono sleeves flapped as she stretched, laid both arms at her sides.

"YEAH!" Torako belted out, loudly, cheerfully flapping her sleeves as she did. Her voice was so loud that it would be utterly impossible not to hear her. Just why she had shouted out so loud would be seemingly a mystery to anyone but herself, possibly. "WE'VE GOTTA FIND THOSE GUYS REALLY FAST! SO LOOKING AGAIN IS A GREAT IDEA RIGHT?!"
That wasn't mentioned at all. ^^;
I'm honestly not too well-versed in western comics(which will probably come across in my character for sure) but honestly, um...

I've heard MANY comics fans complain about the direction they've gone in. This overly dark, miserable, death filled stuff. The movies are pretty dark too, though not always that bad(and I know they were dark but I still like the first two Dark Knight movies). But the comics have gone in this... revoltingly dark direction judging by what I've heard.

This seems like it's going for, well, serious plots, but a lot more over the top fun stuff. From what I understand, at least.

I'm not really interested in the extreme whimsy and nonsense of the full-blown silver age stuff either(well aside from reading about it) but this seems like it would be a happy medium that lets me get one of the tones I like for stuff.
Um, you don't give enough context. ^^;

What is everyone meant to be doing right now? Preparing for this or what? Where should they all be? ^^;
