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.
3 yrs ago
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.

It maybe have been at that moment that one of the many students who had seen that unusual dream noticed that the moon was out. It was hardly unusual, on a clear day at this time the moon's visibility was not an unlikely thing. Still, somehow it may have seemed slightly more attention grabbing...
Or perhaps it was the brief glimpse of a black-haired girl sprinting by in a trenchcoat, in the distance. That may have been quite noticeable, too. Either way, something caught their attention, even only for the briefest of moments...
And the next time they opened their eyes after blinking, their surroundings had completely changed.
No longer were any of them outside, or in a small restaurant, or anywhere else that looked remotely familiar. Instead, they were in what appeared to be an elevator, a dark blue elevator that could be felt going slowly downward. Somehow, it was large enough to accommodate everyone, in spite of not seeming like it should. There didn't appear to be any door to leave it, but the sensation of going downward marked it as absolutely an elevator. Or perhaps it was upward? Somehow, it was hard to tell what direction they were moving in, even though the difference between up and down should have been obvious.
This could be counted as one of the few times that Detective Sasegawa Hikaru was stunned into complete silence.
For what seemed like it could have been anywhere from ten seconds to ten minutes, the elevator inexorably carried on, its dark blue velvet walls making it seem like they were surrounded in nothingness.
Then, suddenly, the front of the elevator slid open. Suddenly there was no elevator at all, and they were standing in a large, circular room. It was also blue, with a blue velvet couch in the center. Surrounding the room, towards the ceiling, were a set of various screens displaying images of... a city? A dark city...
This was the same location as in their dreams.
On the couch, just as in their dreams, was a a young brunette girl dressed in a stylized miko outfit. When she noticed them, she stood, the bells in her hair jingling.
"Finally," she began, "Let me introduce myself. I am Tsukuyomi, and I'd like to welcome you to the Hollow Space."

Natsuki Sumiko
Sumiko almost immediately moved to help the younger boy, but it looked like he caught himself pretty quickly, without too much concern... and on his hands! That was actually pretty cool, lending credence to Sumiko's theory that he was cool enough(and an adorable kid) to compensate for the ridiculous outfit and in fact elevate it to being cool as a result. She couldn't resist giving him the thumbs up after seeing that display, flashing a wide grin.
"That was awesome!" she brightly declared. Huh, a ninja too? Well, that certainly wasn't out of place around here, now was it? Glancing up, the brunette girl noticed they'd been divided up into teams... and she was on the team with this kid. That seemed like it'd be pretty fun! If he really was stealthy in spite of the panda outfit, he'd be great at capturing the flag, wouldn't he? Of course. "It's nice to meet you! I'm going to become friends with everyone and be a hero!"
There. That got her life's dream out of the way! For now... What to do about this game? She didn't have a plan in mind, but sometimes going straight and direct to punch through everything was the best plan! Not literally punching the enemy team, it wasn't a battle even if they could use their powers, but still!

Clarabelle Halloway, the Ethereal Dollmaker
As her team was organized, Clarabelle sat without much movement, looking like a doll abandoned on the grass. The actual dolls quietly drifted around her, seeming to be totally unarmed at the very least. So, this was the team she had been assigned to...? It didn't matter to her. She would provide her own strategy, and that was that. Her friends would help her win this game. It didn't matter what anyone else did, it was her friends who would help her win it. She didn't care particularly much what the plan was, either, but she would still explain her intent.
Still smiling at the thought of using her dolls against the others, Clarabelle quietly rose to her feet.
"... My dolls will attack them... you can do whatever you want when they do that..."

You have the option of choosing your rank, but 49-50 are the council and the president, and I'd really prefer if everyone didn't make super high ranked students. Some are okay, but not everyone.

Shiroyama High School.
A place for students to learn, a place for them to grow into adulthood, to make friends, to get to know one another. Like any high school, Shiroyama was built to be a place of learning and growth for all who attend. Naturally, the students who go there are subject to a wide variety of new experiences. Their high school lives will be filled with knowledge, growth, and battle.
Especially battle.
Shiroyama High School is, of course, no simple high school. It is among one of Japan's fourteen Battle Schools, a place of learning and a place of combat rolled into one. Students are not only tasked with learning their daily lessons, they are also tasked with combating one another. Ever since the newest student council president took over, however, things have become especially intense. In order to encourage what she believed was a slacking student body, she introduced a variety of radical changes to the school's combat programs.
One of these changes introducing a system of rewards for students and clubs to defeat one another, as well as a chain of "rankings". The higher level a student was to become, the more benefits they and their club began to receive. At the same time, however, the rewards for defeating such a powerful student grew as well. This created an even more competitive climate in Shiroyama High School. The highest of ranks, of course, are those who stand by the side of the Student Council President herself.
Naturally, she ensured she had the full cooperation of the faculty in order to carry out these massive changes.
But is this all there is to it? Or is there something more to the battlefield that the daily lives of Shiroyama's students has become?
Shiroyama is a large, multi-level school building with an enormous campus, allowing for both a large amount of freedom of movement on the school grounds as well as a variety of different battlefields. All students are provided with a tablet and observation device included in their uniform which automatically adds any wins, advancements in ranks, and battle points to their profile, or the profile of their clubs.
Here's a rundown of Shiroyama's current battle system:
As for how students conduct battle, in this world all humans are possessed of a Mana Core, a source of powerful energy deep inside their bodies. Various devices have been constructed across history to tap into these Mana Cores, and as a result a wide variety of weaponry using mana has become created.
In addition, many of Shiroyama's students may possess Inherent Engine Skills, or IE Skills. IE Skills utilize the mana core as an engine to produce a usually-passive effect, such as a form of second sight or other similar abilites. Very rarely are they active combat skills, but they can be used to aid in battle.
Weapons and devices that utilize the wielder's mana core are known as Active Engine Devices, or AE Devices. These Actively siphon energy from the user's mana core in order to produce a wide variety of feats, such as powerful attacks and barriers. An AE Device can be anything from a weapon to something worn on the body.
Now, fight for you ascendance, Students of Shiroyama High School!
So, this is an idea @RoleplayerRoxas and I cooked up recently. It just sounded too fun not to try out. ^^;
Players will naturally play as students, and teachers, of Shiroyama High School. These students have been pitted against one another to earn points for themselves and their clubs, to advance their rank and become top in the school. Some students may even aspire to defeat the Student Council President herself.
Of course, that might not be all there is to it. And there's a new transfer student stirring things up.
@RoleplayerRoxas will be my co-GM, helping me handle the plot and NPCs, as well as signups since I am stretching myself a bit thin. ^^;
I may allow players to control student council members, but for now I'm having them as NPCs unless someone proves I can trust them with some of the most powerful starting characters in the RP. ^^;

All students are provided with a tablet and observation device included in their uniform which automatically adds any wins, advancements in ranks, and battle points to their profile, or the profile of their clubs.
Here's a rundown of Shiroyama's current battle system:
- Battle Points: One of the most important aspects of the current battle system, Battle Points are a currency awarded to the winning combatant, depending on how high-ranking their opponent was. These points can be used for a variety of different purposes, such as purchasing equipment or funding improvements to a club's room. These Battle Points, also known as BP, are the driving force behind most combat at Shiroyama High School.
- Student Rank: Ranging from zero to fifty, the Student Rank is a demonstration of a Student's power. The higher the rank, the more battle points they have accumulated by this point, and the more privileges they have obtained. A similar ranking system is also applied to clubs, the club rank an aggregate of the club members. The only Rank Fifty student in Shiroyama is the high school's Unbreakable Student Council President, Yukimura Atsuko. The next highest ranking students are all members of the student council as well.
- Student Database: Accessible via the tablets provided to all students of Shiroyama High School, the Student Database records all student profiles and can be used to quickly look up the rank and rewards provided by an opponent.
- Club Battle: Two or more clubs may participate in battle with one another for a very large amount of BP. However, this action must be overseen by a Student Council member and may not occur indoors, in order to avoid severe collateral damage.
