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.

I have an idea now, but @Muttonhawk needs to post first so the bandit can do something.
Maki Rika


It wasn't long until they arrived at their dorm, Rika in quite the huff the entire time as she went. Seriously, mistaking her for a little girl like that...! The dorm, upon their arrival, was at least rather nice. Two beds, two bathrooms, an assortment of furniture, even a small kitchen and a fridge... these were far better than Rika had been expecting. She strutted towards the beds, inspecting them closely as she did, before glancing back at her partner.

"It doesn't matter what bed you take, they're the same," she said, simply. Of course, the implication was that if there was a different, Rika would take the better bed. Didn't that make sense, after all? She would be the one fighting. Naturally, this meant she'd need the more restful, comfortable bed if there was any difference.

Along with the built-in fixtures, both girl's luggage had also arrived. Rika's was separated into multiple, multi-colored suitcases. Among them was a long, wooden box, which was the one that Rika was first to open.

"Hmph, they better not have done anything stupid," she said to herself, drawing what was unmistakably a sheathed katana from the box. It slide smoothly out, the blade gleaming. "... Good. I'll need somewhere to put this."
Mage Circles


One of the greatest facets of Mage Society, Mage Circles are part government office and part magical college. There are Twenty-Two Large Mage circles across the world, each taking a name for one of the Major Arcana. One of the most famed is the Tower, located in London. The youngest Circle is the Moon, Japan's Mage Circle. The purpose of Mage Circles is twofold: To serve as places of education and storing of knowledge, and to enforce rules of mage society. All circles are under the large organization of magi across the world, but they are given a great deal of freedom to manage themselves. As such, each tends to have some sort of variation in how they handle things.

One example of this is how they maintain the secrecy of the Supernatural. All circles contain a Ministry of Silence that works to uphold the secret nature of supernatural activity. However, some go about this in a nonlethal fashion, while others employ agents known as Silencers to destroy any witnesses. Another matter is in how they handle rogue elements of mage society. For example, London's Tower utilizes a special agency known as the Citadel Six(or more popularly the Unlucky Six) in order to eliminate such elements, above and beyond the usage of standard enforcers.

Mage Circles store a vast amount of magical knowledge and artifacts. Ancient Grimoires have been translated into various languages and distributed amongst the circles. A fragment of Merlin's walking stick is known to be stored in the Tower.

Education at a mage circle is favored among mage families, but not mandatory. The Tower is especially popular, receiving students from all over the world, but every mage circle gets its share of students.
Saku Rira


"Well, I can't say those wouldn't be good ideas," replied Saku, glancing at the com panel. Swiftly, she switched it on, and heard the words of the bountry hunter who wanted to, apparently, be of service. She wasn't exactly the most trusting of bounty hunters on the best of days, but she did not sense ill intent, and he was volunteering to dock with their ship by himself. This was somewhat more promising, but at the moment there did not appear to be a good opening for any 'business proposal'.

"We have Imperial forces approaching, so I'd hardly say now is the time for such a discussion," she said, quickly, glancing back over her shoulder. "But if you're truly interested in helping, you can talk to the captain."

She stepped away from the communications, giving Kara a meaningful glance. Now was not the best time, but addressing a potential ally seemed wise.

"I'm going to defend the ship and make us a path to the meeting. May the Force be with you."

With that, she turned, and sprinted down the hall.




The stormtroopers wasted no time in blasting the doors open and training their blasters on the ship. The swiftly surrounded the modified corvette, raising their blasters to bare. The New Republic Forces were immediately putting up a fight, and soon the platform was filled with open laserfire, and the occasional cry of shock and pain. But it was clear the Stormtroopers had more numbers, and one swiftly advanced towards the ship, seeing an opening.

There was that familiar snap-hiss sound, and purple light reflected off the metallic hull of the ship, as Saku sprinted out. The first Stormtrooper had been raising his blaster rifle already.

"It's a Jedi!" she heard him shout, as he opened fire. Her smaller frame made dodging easier, ducking under the bolts that careened over her head. As she came close she heard him prime a thermal detonator, likely out of desperation. She swung her lightsaber in an upwards arc, the blade humming and then letting out a hiss as it went through armor like butter, putting a sizzling gash through the trooper's torso and head. He fell back, dead instantly, and she raised her other hand swiftly.

With a wooshing sound, she pushed the thermal detonator with the force, feeling it flow through her arm and send the explosive rocketing into the air. Even high up, away from the ship, the blast of light and sound was incredibly loud.
Okay, I'll try and get my ideas together for a post then. Sorry for any delay, just kind of got a bit stuck on the course I'm going for this. ^^; In the mean time, feel free to discuss future plans, or anything like that.
Going to admit I'm a little stuck. ^^; Torako's reveal of her competency would mean she'd probably pretty effortlessly take out a single guy... or even multiple guys, but I don't want to completely ruin the fight.
I know there's some people who need to work on posting.
Edits made to Kiko's bio. In the character tab version. ^^;
Hmm, okay. Think I have an idea for what to say, though it's not about an accessory. Editing.
  • 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. Unseen are her exposed joints. These are the only things that would indicate she is a robot to an observer(hatches in her back are invisible when shut), and exist due to the fact that Kiko's larger joints caught the synthetic skin in them.
  • 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.
