My apologies for a turnaround, but it did take me a while to work out the combat system and the purpose I'm running this test for is working out any MORE kinks left. Sorry.

Porcelain Princess:
Eyes of the Oracle: Specify what this does more clearly or scrap it.
High-Torque Cyclonic Barrier: As with Inexorable Strength and Remote Detonation, please change this or scrap it.
Weakness Abuse: 20% crit chance, and when she deals a Critical she deals 1.2x damage because there's debuffs anyway.
Cyclonic Disruption: Enemies in Medium range get -3 to Hit for a turn against her, with a 2 turn cooldown.

Ebon Shadows:
Ebon Blade: 1d6 damage, 1d4 while split.
Umbra Step: Redo this skill, please. It's too situational.
Shadows Split/Arma Recall: Firstly, this is all one skill. Secondly, while split, Ebon Shadows takes a 10% penalty to damage.

Obsidian Bear:
General: You need an ability to transform into Bear or Humanoid form.
Mountain's Rage: Still needs to be an Ability or a Move.
Bear Claws: 1d6 damage.
Immovable: Make this do something else, please.
Boulder Crusher: An opposed STR v enemy STR/AGI to escape, doing 1d4+STR per turn for three turns until an enemy gets away. 2 turn cooldown.

I dropping out since I can basically guess I won't be getting in

[Twinwolf]

But there aren't limited character slots I don't think? So unless you decide not to listen to the GM, you'll probably get in.

[Twinwolf]

Elf:
The chosen arena is one not uncommon to Brain Burst; a windswept, abandoned ruin of a city, with the sun setting in the distant horizon as clouds litter the sky. Broken buildings, skyscrapers and the ruins of street signs, bridges and barriers litter the ground and the combatants face each other, their life bars gently pulsing above them and the battle timer flicking down from 3 to 1. Shortly, the word "Go!" flashes in front of them, drawn in rusty iron pieces, and the battle begins!

Twinwolf (Concrete Striker):
Ground Smash, Heavy Slash, both on [Mercury Whirlwind]

Sl4cker (Baobab Bulwark):
CHARGE CLOSER, SMASH SHIELD INTO VERMILLION'S FACE

TheBiggerFish (MercuryWhirlwind):
Get out of Medium Range

BlitzDungeoneer (Vermillion Sun):
Boost speed, Move out of range.
Add Sunlit Blaster at Mercury Whirlwind as a third action.

Elf:
Vermillion Sun is the first to move, propelling themselves forward with a quick burst of light, gaining +2 AGI for the first turn.  [8 v 8] The Red Duel Avatar is smashed into by a massive shield as Baobab Bulwark collides into them; however, the force behind the blow is not so strong as the massive charge that preceded it, dealing a paltry 1 damage. Vermillion Sun, unfazed by the blow, points a single arm at the escaping Mercury Whirlwind, before unleashing a burst of light! [9 v 13] However, the Wind-based Avatar dodges the burst of light but suddenly, Concrete Striker zooms past and smashes the ground with enough force to damage both Duel Avatars, dealing 7 damage to Whirlwind and stunning them. Bulwark is also struck, but their defenses allow them to negate the damage with a shrug. Encouraged, Striker then smashes at the stunned Whirlwind with a forceful blow, dealing 15 damage! The critical strike also temporarily damages Whirlwind's internal workings, causing them to lose -2 AGI.

[Salt]

Blitz:
>Move into Medium Range, Use Sunstorm, Use Sunlit Blaster on Baobab Bulwark.
...
Change target to Mercury Whirlwind

Sl4cker:
Nature's Challenge VS and CS, Baobab Bastion

Twin:
Move closer to Baobab Bastion, attack.

TBF:
Move to Medium, Mercury Whirlwind VS as much as possible.

Elf:
[DC: 10] [9] Mercury Whirlwind remains stunned. No movement from them.

Vermillion Sun moves into medium range, as well as Concrete Striker. However, suddenly, a pair of roots weaves out from underneath Baobab Bulwark, entangling themselves around their feet and enclosing them in a red glow as they turn their attacks towards Baobab Bulwark!  Striker deals 6 damage to Bulwark with a powerful slash, while Vermillion deals 5 with a blasting laser. Vermillion Sun, however, is capable of switching targets and fires on the stunned Mercury Whirlwind, blasting a hole through their chest and causing the Duel Avatar to dissipate into nothingness.

Mercury Whirlwind has been defeated.

Sl4cker:
Concede

So that was 2 turns. Mercury Whirlwind got wrecked by unlucky rolls, Elf decided to nerf Stun and Active Defense.

Quoting for clarity.

Spoiler: Ken Yaki (click to show/hide)

Name: Ken Yaki
Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Age: 16
Description:
Ken is a tall and slender young man with an athletic figure, characterized by his expression-less face, as if he was always in another world. He has short black hairs and gray eyes.
He typically wears a blue shirt and simple black pants.

Personality wise, he is really quiet. He is also pretty altruistic, and almost act like a big brother when he tries to help people. When it comes to duels, he is merciless. He doesn't fight for honor, but won't resort to underhanded tactics.

Backstory :
Ken is the older brother of two little brothers and one little sister. He was always a calm child, silently playing the "protective big brother" role for his siblings. 
With time, it was revealed Ken had a natural talent for kendo and iaido. He was also a really good student, and as such, he strived to become an ideal model for his brothers and sisters.
It also became apparent he had difficulties making friends. And slowly, he began to alienate himself from the others. Too talented in his beloved discipline compared to other child of his age, he felt further separated from the usual cast of people.

He was by no mean a special exception, but he felt it that way. He felt isolated, unable to be understood and to understand others. Something inside him was broken, but he didn't know what.

That is when he began to suffer from [animu personality disorder], a rare condition where his mind split into two distinct personalities. The truth may be that he unwillingly created an other self to have someone with whom to share his experiences, joys and sorrows.

Nowadays, he does have some friends. But the damage he suffered during his childhood lasted, and he is still deeply troubled by his feeling of alienation.

Other:
Guardian : NPC
Trauma : Extreme Loneliness and Alienation during Childhood
Special Condition : Animu Personality Disorder [Has 2 selves]

Spoiler: Ebon Shadows (click to show/hide)

Avatar Name: Ebon Shadows
Type: Black [Dexterity]
Description:
The Ebon Shadows Avatar is a slender armored frame, reminiscent of some fantastic knight's armor.
The design in itself is pretty simple. The armor cover the whole body, leaving no visible opening.
The plated faulds are particularly long and slightly flexible for mobility. They nearly reach the knees.

The helmet is as simple as the rest, not having any special decoration. Two sharp glowing point can be seen through the visor. One is yellow while the other is blue.

When using Shadows Split, the two Avatars main difference is their eyes color. One is fully blue while the other is fully yellow.

Bump.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Alright. Transferring the question from the Discord for anyone not on the Discord:

i may scrap most of the mechanics in this game and make it mostly freeform (this game already lacks a lot of mechanics as-is)
only the levelling and abilities/armaments/techniques system would remain
thoughts?

Weigh in with your thoughts on this. So far, everyone on the Discord is in favour.

[Bluexdog]

I'm ok with it

[IamanElfCollaborator]

ok guys last overhaul to the system i sware on mi mum

The Freeform Overhaul
- The system will now be wholly guided freeform. Most numerical calculations will be scrapped. Rules that apply to my other game also apply here in regards to freeform combat.
- Parameters are no longer numerical but ranked from E to S rank. A table can be found here. Similarly, there are now 20 points to be assigned to all Parameters, with Avatar Types increasing and decreasing their boon and bane stats by one rank respectively.
- However, Parameters no longer gain points by level up; instead, you may gain Ranks in Parameters using Armaments, Abilities, Techniques or by training up Parameters during the game.
- The OP has been updated accordingly with the examples changed to reflect the new 'system'.

The game will start by the 7th of August (Sunday).

[Sl4cker]

new and improved tree

Spoiler: Strong Wood (click to show/hide)

Avatar Name: Baobab Bulwark
Type: Wood [Willpower Type]
Description: Baobab Bulwark seems to be a massive, nearly robotic-looking despite it being made out of wood, humanoid, with large spiked pauldrons and large hands and feet made out of thick bark. Its head looks even more mechanical, with a green visor for eyes, a large, square jaw, and rigid horn-like protrusions coming off its cranium. Its body is thinly outlined in glowing white, which altogether make it seem like a lithe stick figure is somehow inside of it. The line ends at the head, however, there being instead glowing halos encircling the horns.

[Powder Miner]

Spoiler: Ruy Hisakawa (click to show/hide)

Name: Ruy Hisakawa
Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Age: 16
Description: Being half Peruvian and half Japanese, Ruy is visibly a mix between South American and East Asian. He stands at 5'5", with skin a shade browner than the average Japanese person. He has a rather thin build. He has soft black hair that is somewhat longish, and quite dark brown eyes, if a very little bit lighter than the average in Japan. He tends to wear rather bright colors.

Ruy is the son of a Peruvian with one-quarter Japanese ancestry who moved over to the land of that part of his ancestry, met a Japanese woman, and married. But Ruy's parents are rarely ever present, usually busy with various career options, having both gone to Peru and left Ruy there alone for school. So Ruy turned to legend and fantasy to shore up that hole, greedily devouring all the old legends and stories he could get his hands on, reading about the legendary people of old. Now, Ruy is most of the way lost in his books, reading in all of his free time at school and out, finding losing himself in these old worlds of glory much more palatable than simply living in this much less glorious and much more lonely world.

Spoiler: Azul Crusader (click to show/hide)

Avatar Name: Azul Crusader
Type: Blue!
Description: Azul Crusader is a humanoid form wearing what is very close to medieval armor, an effect made a little odd by the more sci-fi parts of its ensemble common to all Brain Burst avatars. A vivid, deep blue cuirass sits over a more grey-blue chainmail-like armor that goes up to his wrists, down his torso to his ankles, where it terminates in a pair of flaired holes that his feet come out of. His hands simply have a deep blue covering on them, much like gloves, and his feet have a similar deep blue covering, wrapped across his feet with a sole at the bottom. On his head, a grey-blue medieval-looking helm rises across the back of his head and terminates above his forehead -- his face is similar to other Brain Burst avatars, noseless and mouthless, deep blue with a pair of shining turquoise eyes.


Stats
Level: 1
XP: 0/100
Burst Points: 100

Parameters: 20 points
Strength: C
Dexterity: A+ (boosted)
Agility: D+
Synergy: E- (dumped)
Constitution: D
Willpower: D+

Powers:
Armaments: Tizona (Upgraded Once): A slightly thinner broadsword, not quite as long or broad as a normal broadsword but significantly lighter. Extremely difficult to parry or avoid for Yellow avatars, Earth avatars, or Metal avatars with lowered Agility.
(Upgrade One): It is similarly highly difficult to dodge for Green or Lightning avatars, or Metal avatars with lowered Dexterity, as Azul Crusader will outmaneuver them.

Colada (Upgraded Once): A blade somewhat thinner and slightly shorter than Tizona's with a rapier hilt, Colada is Azul Crusader's off-hand sword. It isn't terribly offensively powerful for a sword (yet not incredibly weak), but the off-hand sword makes parrying melee enemy blows with short-to-moderate length melee weapons like swords, axes, or maces easier for him. Dex-based.
(Upgrade One): Azul Crusader also now gets a bonus to parrying arrows and thrown weapons with Colada, though it still provides no defense against guns whatsoever.

Abilities: --

Moves: Dual Strike: Azul Crusader thrusts out with both of his swords at once if he has an opening, piercing through armor with a double attack, at the expense of being easier to parry or avoid.
