"Hey, is anyone here working for Biggs? Or Bad Boy? Or from the East?"

Tupac Shakur drums his right hand on the top of the steering wheel, the other clutching his Mac-10. If anyone comes close, blast 'em.

((Quiet. It's reinforced with a compound produced by the Diavitae Federation, and is enchanted with the power of the Guardians. In the Zero Form, it can use freaking LIGHTNING.))

((And thus we begin to delve into the inevitable in this type of game, the arguments of the variety of 'Could fictional character X take attack from fictional character Y' or 'Is fictional material A stronger than fictional material B.'

However, from what I've seen from our GM's other games, I firmly believe that he will find a way to somehow balance all of these characters in one manner or another, regardless of which situation they find themselves in.

Also, we're fighting on a TF2 map. So, I'm assuming we're factoring in elevation?))

((Okay, since most of you haven't played TF2 (Otherwise you would've recognized the map as Arena_Hightower), here's how it is. There are technically three layers. The four people in the center circle area are on the ground floor. There are stairs leading up to the main hub, where a control point and who knows what else sits. There is a hole in the roof, and on top of the roof is a large antenna. That really does nothing. Now, everyone else, save for Toaster and Monkeyhead, are on the middle level. You can get to the top level by going up one of the logs leading up to the pipes Toaster and Monkeyhead are on, or by going across one of the middle pipes to the stairs that continue to the middle from the bottom. Finally, Toaster and Monkeyhead are on pipes leading straight to the main hub area.

And unfortunately, Artemis, since you didn't list it as inventory, you do not have a katana of any sort.

Oh, and GWG, I forgot to mention. You had to Shape-Shift into a golden retriever to fit through your gate hole into the arena. So at the moment, that's what you are.

And finally, indeed, we are factoring in Elevation, and I will find a way to balance. You're all equal except for stats and your skills. You can all take the same amount of death, and mostly have the same damage output per attack.))

Where did the weight go? Where did the noise go? Where did the speed go? VULNERABLE. AFRAID. ANGRY.

Allow myself to be drunk - partially. While being swallowed, make an effort to get into the breathing apparatus of the dragon/dog thing and drown it.

((installing TF2 since it's free so I can take a look at the map. However, I'll place some preliminary actions for now.))
Spoiler: If nobody attacks me (click to show/hide)
Action replaced in a later post, ignore these two.

Wait, so I'm going to fight with my fists? Are you serious?
I might as well drop out then. My abilities are useless unless I have my signature katana.

((This guy made an honest mistake, I wouldn't mind him getting his damn magic sword thing as I almost forgot to give Pac his microphone when I was finishing up his sheet. It would be a shame to have somebody drop out so early before I could mow them down with my AK47.))

The appliance has watched for too long.  Now was the time to act.

((Time stop > sword. having said that, I'm fine with you getting the thing. but the whole "my abilities are useless" thing is ridiculous. just get creative. even without a weapon, your character is one of the ones that scares me the most in the entire arena, up there with Derm in my threat rankings.))

((That's being a bit overdramatic. Currently -.- is unarmed and has...well, pretty much nothing of fighting use, Derm is unarmed, as is a good deal of the arena. But fine, if you're gonna be all BLUGH about it, I'll edit it in.))

Well, I know that. But it's just a major part of Artemis' character, his sword. I mean, in story, his sword has a killcount of 543,650, which is not counting the holocaust he performed using his initial Zero Form.

Oh, and I didn't put skill stats at first because I wanted the GM to ensure my character was fairly balanced.
Maybe I'm just having an off day I guess.
Just forget about it. I don't wanna be whining.
