[Ranked] Four Way: Convergence of Power

'Divine' doesn't really mean anything unless you say it is directly hostile towards a certain type of character, which is why in my sheets I specify my character is weak to 'holy' magic specifically because it feels like a better term for magic which is against the undead and demons in most fantasy.

@MelonHead

Well, my energies might be harmful to unholy elements but far from being their Kryptonite.
It may hurt more for an undead or help to repel the shroud of darkness surrounding my immediate area but nothing seriously out of the ordinary.
It won't just inexplicable pass through "evil" barriers or banish demons.
If anything characters vulnerable to fire and/or searing light are more in danger.

Well, Alicia's energy attacks are searing hot first and divine second.
Even though she learned healing people before she ever managed to project energy blasts.
Or in case my barrier, it's a nondescript invisible field of force first and maybe divine second.
I doubt my normal non-charged punches are anything more than at least hundreds of kilonewtons of concentrated pain, either.

Well, it certainly hard counters my character. The ability to completely negate her only offensive ability while also being near immune to the piercing attacks she could launch while charging makes it highly unlikely Anna could hurt him.

Not every higher tier character inherently has lazer beams or explosive attacks, many use simple piercing attacks and physical force, both of which are easily negated by something with 50x the (original? Kevlar only stops one attack but I'm guessing that's not how this works) durability of Kevlar. It's worth pointing out that Kevlar on its own is roughly five times as durable as steel, so 50x that essentially means Khan's character is as tough as someone wearing steel on his body of a rough thickness of 50x however thick his cloak is x5(say half an inch, to be generous) this means he's essentially as durable as a 125 inch thick steel wall. I don't know how strong -your- character is, but that is damn near indestructible for mine.

I'm not saying we can't bullshit our way through it in T1, but logically as it stands that armour is as strong as a 125 inch thick steel wall, I think that could probably stop a nuke.

@MelonHead

Actually, Kevlar is pretty much useless against piercing attacks and perhaps more or less the same could be said about this cloth.
A knife or a sharpened blade would find the gaps between the threads and push through them.

[Ranked] Four Way: Convergence of Power

Khan's character's entire set of apparel (which from the reference seems to cover a huge amount of his body) is nigh on indestructible at 50x the durability of Kevlar, so yeah, there is a slight issue there.

His character also has a power that literally negates water magic, that sounds like a slightly bullshit power considering this character was made post everyone elses being revealed.

@MelonHead

I believe the character was made when everybody else's, weeks in advance and in a PM to Rilla.
Unless he made edit to the character and included some new abilities but it's unlikely. Guess we may want to wait for Rilla to confirm things.
Technically the water shield seems to require at least one prep and can only last for 5 "turns" and can be broken by charging an attack as prepped up as the shield.

Also I really-really can't see why would a 10 or even 50 times kevlar durability clothing an issue when we are powered characters who semi-regularly make craters, destroy wall sections or perform similar acts of destruction. Sure, it'll be bulletproof and may help withtand indirect explosions like hand grenades but that's about it.

Shining Blaze has a sorts of idealistic black and white morality.
She may attempt to deck Tordor because he looks like an obvious bad guy.
Though she doesn't fight people who don't fight back, unless they do bad things and refuse to stop when Alicia asks them nicely.

Also I included it in her profile but I warn you all in advance, Alicia will be able to take quite a lot of beating.
She is straightforward, inexperienced and even clumsy but her suit's AI takes a good care of her.
Most likely she'll be hit and knocked over a lot of times but her combined defenses can take damage like a sponge.
I won't keep her in the fight at allcosts but consider that I'll be opting more on taking attack than dodging them.
Alicia is reckless, naive and inexperienced so this is going to show.

Yay Genocide!

@MetalLover

It took me several futile minutes of checking which player has Kuwait and whom Oddysseus attemps to frame.

[Ranked] Four Way: Convergence of Power

@GreivousKhanInteresting character, in some sense he's even the direct opposite of Shining Blaze.
My character is young, idealistic, inexperienced, alive, has divine powers and her style focuses on straightforward brawl.

My main inspirations were comic book characters with demigod origins combined with super sentai.
Her fighting style is heavily rooted in the latter. :)

Age of Rebirth (Post WW3)

Well, that's a bit of exaggeration but yeah.
We discussed nukes a lot, maybe because there aren't too many things happening in the IC yet.
I'll get to posting tomorrow when I may finally get the free time for it.

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

Thats truth , with only railguns you can shoot out a ICBM (Because of the very high velocities of the shell) , but imagine nuclear shells in railguns or beaming earth from the space with largue lasers cannons , etc.

@Murtox

Well, nukes are banned to be brought into space.
And the only way you can make a very powerful killsat like that is by using nuke-pumped x-ray lasers.
Not to mention the fact we only talked about nuclear weapons. The GM explicitly banned superpowered energy weapons, IIRC.

Also railgun accelerations are so great it'd likely destroy any nuclear device before it even leaves the barrel.
And if not, then it won't be any better than the already existing concept of nuclear artillery.
Anyways, like I said, we already have technology to identify and intercept mortar shells on flight.
Just imagine the situation in 2050.
Also keep in mind that nuclear artillery shells are relatively small so their explosive yield is negligible compared to other nuclear weapons.
That being said, I do plan a nuclear variation of the Toldi IV tanks which uses 160mm nuclear shells.
Basically they are used for anti-fortification purposes.
Or at worst to take out larger military targets like bases, camps or airfields. Although these are more likely to happen with nuclear artillery than the tank-launched variant.

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

I know how much hate can drive a person to do some unthinkable things. I saw one person declaring war on another just because of an argument. It happens often. I take it that you haven't roleplay that long to see that or you have just been lucky enough.

@The Grey Warden

Yes?
And how is this connected to nukes?
They are a weapon of war, and something which depending on its use may have heavy political recursions.
Besides, if somebody attempts to wage war because of a petty argument in OOC then they just end up like it happened with the Mexican Empire and ASAE.
If not, then the situation is already so fucked up so it doesn't matter.

Again, you are just being paranoid.
