Fantasy Daemon Days OOC

[Zaltusinel]

Lol at your post @Zaltusinel XD

Wrong Chat though.

 

[Zaltusinel]

It's Okay. I'lll try to break it all down as best I can.


Mechanically speaking. The x attack does y damage is a pretty obvious thing. But if you want I can go ahead and make a standard level of damage so that everyone can just use that tp determine what kind of damage attacks would do to each Rating.


For example.


Minimal: Almost no Damage at all.


Light: Barely noticable Damage. Easy to ignore.


Moderate: A regular amount of damge. Noticable, but does not usually impede movement unless applied to a limb.


Heavy: Very noticable damage. Impedes movement. Cannot be ignored often requires immediate attention.


Granted I don't want to give people more work. But if it will make things easier to understand, and set a single standard for how attacks and stuff are implemented we can do that.


Human attacks generally translate when dealing with Daemons based on several factors. Including the rating of the opposing Daemon, and the rating of the Daemon the Human is drawing power from. 9/10 a Human is NOT going to be picking a fight with any Daemon they come across. But in combat, they always have a partner that they can draw power from to enhance their own skills. Obviously a Human with some form of combat training is going to do better than a Human with none at all. 


Also keep in mind that using a Daemon's power ALWAYS puts a strain on the human body. Without exception. A Human that's been with a Daemon a long time would be abl to handle the strain better than a Human that hasn't. But using a Daemon's powers is physically taxing. And Daemons need to be attentive to their Human partners to make sure that they're not over working themselves.


If a Daemon uses their power to enhance a weapon, or the Daemon inhabits that weapon, their danger rating translates directly. So if an A-Rated Daemon empowered a regular sword, that sword will do A-Rated damage.





 

Thanks I'll update

 

[Mega]

Thank you for the clarification @Ramjammer

@Prizzy Kriyze Your CS is really good. I like how many powers your Daemon has. I feel that S Daemons should have a variety of powers, and the number should dwindle down to lower levels.

Also this. I kinda wanted to add more thingies, but I felt like I was totally overdoing it.

 

[Ramjammer]

@Prizzy Kriyze Your weapons are okay. Since Waylight security is an actual Security force. Airsoft guns are ony required in Tournaments. Though I have to ask. Why did Asago steal a sword? He can just buy one lol. Actually I'm sure Apex would have issued him a weapon if he didn't have one. I'm not saying you have to change it or anything. It just struck me as a bit odd.

This is all very technical stuff, so I really gotta ask: Do you want there to be an actual mechanic, or are you making this as guidelines? Because the first is a role-playing game and the second is a role play. I really don't mind either way, but I want to know what you're aiming for here. If we're people making a story together by cooperation or if we're players in a game.


That sounded oddly aggressive, wth


To clarify once more, I don't mind either way, I just want to know what your vision is

 

[PPPauper]

I figured ratings translate into weapons, that's why I gave Seitsu his gloves.


Also, @Ramjammer I figure as long as we hash things out in OOC, it shouldn't be that big a deal.


Also, @Mega That makes it seem even more inevitable that you'll lose XD After a single deceiving attack, maybe two, I imaging Porm would figure it out and turn to his computer side to start watching the fight. And without powerful attacks to do a lot of damage in that one, maybe two attacks to beat them, it'll be futile XD


I don't want to seem like I'm upscaling the strength of Seitsu and Porm, but it seems the only attacks you have are weak ones, and since Porm's specialty revolves around pattern recognition through computer analysis. I dunno, just seems like my character directly hard counters yours XD


Which is something I love about the way I build my characters, in any combat RP. I try to build them to be singularly powerful, so they can hard counter, and be hard countered depending on their opponent.


But again, I don't mind making him lose if that's what you want. He still has a fight before yours.

 

[Mega]

Oh, before I forget.  @Ramjammer is there a specific process you had in mind for getting hired at The Flying Tortoise, or any general character traits I should keep in mind for Bandalur if he's going to be an NPC.

 

[Ramjammer]

Ultimately it's a story before anything else. That's the biggest draw here.


But I realize that with the addition of combat, and a fighting regulation that there needs to be rules in place so that it makes sense, and it's fair for everybody. I just like to have my bases covered, since I've been in far too many RP's where a lack of combat rules kind of ruined things for everybody :/


These are guildlines. But if it would make things easier for everyone, I can make some actual game rules so that everyone is on even footing and knows what to expect. So I guess I should ask how everyone feels about that?

 

[PPPauper]

Speaking of questions @Ramjammer What's the process to ranking up a daemon? As I'm particularly close to doing so methinks.

 

[Ramjammer]

@Mega I can play Bandalur for your interview. That was the plan, but I've been a bit busy. When exactly did you want the Interview to be done?

 

[Mega]

@PPPauper you've made good points.  I think that, even with the first fight, it wouldn't do enough for a realistic loss against my guys.  Guess that's a gonna be my loss than, ah well, should be an interesting fight either way.

 

[PPPauper]

I'm fine with either way, a regulated combat, or one that relies on the writers. At the worst, you could always moderate combats and decide if people are being unreasonable.

 

[Ramjammer]

@PPPauper Your Daemon would have to go to a local government office and take a standardized exam as well as fill out an application. Once they're registered, they would be given a new I.D reflecting their new Rating.

 

[PPPauper]

Definitely @Mega Like I said, I don't want to be unrealistic, but someone based on illusions seems like a poor match for Porm.


In that case, we'll still make it a fun match, as I'll have Seitsu and Porm lose his first match, so he'll be a bit tired, so we can still have a fairly interesting fight.

 

[Mega]

Whenever you've got the time for it should be fine @Ramjammer  The idea of this first visit to The Flying Tortoise was just to set up a date for the interview anyway.  Most likely not an IC day later though, as that's going to be area day.

 

[PPPauper]

I see @Ramjammer So it's basically whenever they feel ready. And also, it'd be the daemon itself taking a test, with no help from their human partner, right?


What kinds of things are expected in these tests?

 

[Ramjammer]

Okay then. We can do that! You can meet bandalur. The grumpy giant bear Daemon.

 

[PPPauper]

Also, what if, say, Porm never took the tests to rank up, and remained a C daemon, becoming more and more powerful, gaining power of that of an S ranked daemon, yet with a C rating, and still fighting among C ranked daemons? XD

 

[Ramjammer]

@PPPauper Yes it'd just be the Daemon taking the test, since they're the ones with the danger Rating. The test would be a Physical examination. Their powers and skills would be tested, and they would be pitted against another Daemon of the Rank their trying to attain t see if they have the right stuff. You can do it at any time that you feel like. But most people try to do it before the circuit for the Rating they're trying to get starts.

 

[Zaltusinel]

I have made major updates to me CS. It no longer is as long as it was(thank you spoilers). I'm also putting new powers for Ace to "unlock" as he gains control.

 

[PPPauper]

Is there a way to know when circuits start? And how does that work? For the most part, I was just going to make up matches when I saw fit XD


Also, would battles against daemons and the exam be done by you? Or is that all something I can control?

 

[Ramjammer]

It's not unheard of for people to miss taking the exam to rank up. And when a Daemon is getting close to ranking up it can be a little hard to tell if they're ready for the test or if they might need more practice. But if you're Daemon is grossly overpowered and purposefully staying in lower rated circuits to reap the benefits that would get you in alot of trouble.


It's one thing if they're at the top of the C bracket and are preparing to move into A so there's going to be that small level gap.


But an S-Rated Daemon fighting in C tournaments and beating up on C-Rated Daemons is kind of a dick move lol. Especially since S-Rated Daemons have their own Circuits.

 

[PPPauper]

Lol, yeah, and Seitsu and Porm aren't dicks. They are training, and don't think fighting weak daemons will help, so they would never stay at a lower ranking on purpose.


Though I think I may have them move on to A rank shortly.

 

[Mega]

@Ramjammer  How would the post length minimum work out for fights.  A lot of how those go is very much a joint effort.  Admittedly, I don't have much practice writing fight scenes with other people, so I may be mistaken, but considering how action oriented they are by nature it seems like the posts would have to be shorter to avoid taking control of characters that aren't yours to mess with.
