@Failbird: So whenever a battle with Tanky starts, it just spawns in the Battlefield? And attacks from outside the Battlefield can not pierce it? What if something is so large it can't fit inside the battlefield?

I can see where your concern comes in, but I'm more concerned about the size of attacks that you're implying. However, if you really think it will be that much of an issue then I'll try to think of a different ability

I don't think it's an issue necessarily, just trying to clarify stuff. I like the flavor of everything. If an attack comes from beyond the barrier, do you think it could arc over it and into the battlefield?

[Greatness942]

Alright then. Would an object that summons someone permanently, but only goes one use and only summons one person work? Because I have an idea, and I don't know if it's allowed.

Potentially.

Cool. Just updated my sheet with said item. Would said item work, or does it need some tweaking?

Yes, that is the reason I specified the height of the battlefield

also, I'm sitting here looking at a video of most of the weapons form the game that Tanky comes from, and just ooking to see which ones I could make an ability out of without it being directly superior to something I already have.

It works as a one time use item, so yes.

I'll accept it then, 9x9 is pretty small but if it's specifically for tanky than it's okay. It's more like a strategic barricade rather than an environment shift.

The On-Ship thread is live.

75% resist?

Sure, yeah. Did you also put that it's 50% resist to Magical and Elemental Damage? If that's the case, I'd bump it down to 30%, but you can raise that via leveling up abilities. Also, you get 2 Equipment to start out with.

I know, but I asked you about having two swords and the shield and you said it was okay. The Drake Sword isn't really an Ability equipment in that sense, because the ability uses the sword, that's not specifically the sword's ability.

I misunderstood you, sorry. I thought one of the swords would combine with the shield as a single item.

Spoiler: Are they a magical girl if their magic comes from a videogame? (click to show/hide)

Name: Anna (neé Martin) Poe
Gender: Female.
Sex:M, but working on it.
Age: 16.
Essence Organ: They ran into SBURB.  You figure it out.  Probably something like the head, but I don't know.

Appearance:Anna wears the God-Tier outfit of a Heir of Grief, which consists, in her case, of a black hooded turtleneck, black skirt, and black leggings and sensible, but still dressy (shiny!), shoes.  In the center of the turtleneck, there is a grey emblem that appears to be a teardrop.  The sleeves on the turtleneck are long, and Anna's hands are often invisible inside them.  Anna generally wears the hood up, obscuring her face almost entirely.

Personality:Anna can be surprisingly cheerful, but despite that, she still bears deep-seated emotional scars from years of living under extremely transphobic denialist religious asshole parents.

Backstory: I don't think you want to know.

Abilities: [0/10 Ability Points Remaining]

God-Tier (1) (Passive):Anna can only die if her death would be heroic or just, as judged by some clock somewhere that determines that stuff, unless it's broken (basically, GM's call).  SBURB is weird.

I've Seen Worse (1) (Passive):Wounds and injury are reduced one 'step'.  Basically, take whatever adjective you just thought of, and decrease the intensity by one.

Existential Crisis (1) (Conditional):If Anna is mortally wounded (regardless of whether she'd actually die die or not, this is solely based on the perception of mortality), her powers strike back at those who dealt the blows (see Aggrieve, but moreso), lashing at their minds and bodies.  The effects are appropriately unsettling.  Disembodied sobbing voices.  Oozing black forms made of pure liquid sorrow engulfing the poor sods who triggered this.  Anna is ensconced by a shell of the same if this ever triggers, which allows her, regardless of her condition, to act for one turn more before she can be damaged again/any impairment statuses affect her.

Grievous Inheritance(/Giving You Grief) (2):Anna heals someone, (optionally transferring their injuries to another target.)
(2):Effectiveness increases, can transfer a status effect.

Aggrieve (2):Anna attacks, damaging the target physically, emotionally, or some combination of the two.
(2):Chance to inflict statuses (Bleeding, Afraid, Apathetic, Maimed)

Captchalogue Skills (1):Anna gains a +2 bonus to captchaloguing and sylladex actions.

Zielon Wallet: $10,000

Equipment:
SBURBan Smartphone:Contains all the essential SBURB functions (captchaloguing, alchemiter, cruxtruder, totem lathe, anything you could think of really) in one easy-to-use package that comes with unlimited multiversal talk, text, and data.  Don't ask how it works.  Nobody really knows anyway.

Bottle of Perfume/Flamethrower:The classic object/weapon duality bug strikes again.  When referred to as the bottle of perfume, you get the flamethrower.  When referred to as the flamethrower, you get the bottle of perfume.  Anna's strife specibus, spraygunkind, actually uses both of these forms to great effect.

Captchalogued Items (Like an inventory, but also a hammerspace):Various necessities.  Clothes.  A laptop computer.

Anna is rooming with Cadence aboard La Espada.

Anna's original sheet, for additional backstory.  Is not 100% compatible with this one.

[TCM]

@crazyabe: I accept Chaos Call as long as the effect is not known until you actually attempt your next action. How long does Enchant last for? I'd prefer if Book of Odd Time was based more on in-game time mechanics, perhaps once or twice a mission it's available. Staff of Somegod should have a stun rate of 25%. Overall, a pretty balanced character. Accepted.

@TBF: So just to clarify, the essence organ is in her head, like the brain. I'd like to know specifically. I don't fully understand all of the Smartphones abilities, so bear with me if you try something and I require specification, or say that it doesn't work in the context of a specific universe. Somewhat confused about Perfume/Flamethrower, does it change when she refers to it as something, or whenever anyone refers to it?

[Greatness942]

Yo. I have a couple of questions. Who controls Companions, exactly? Is it the person they're allied to, or not? Also, with my Communication Book (which I've used), do I do Sunset's dialogue, or is she an NPC that you control? Thanks.

[TCM]

Most Companions are NPCs, and tend to follow their summoner's orders. In your case, you control Sunset as your own character, like an extension of Twilight.

[Powder Miner]

Spoiler: Mega (click to show/hide)

Name: Mega
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Essence Organ: Her brain!

Appearance: Standing at a grand total of 4'9", Mega's short frame is lithe and agile -- the woman's quite lightweight, but she has muscles. Asian and with brown skin (she is Javanese), Mega's hair is black, straight, and either falls down to her shoulders or is tied into a ponytail with a wooden ring or with a small, claw-like kerambit knife, which has a ring at the end of the handle. Mega has brown eyes. As for clothing, she wears a sky blue, sheer silk kebaya-- a kind of indonesian blouse fastened with a brooch shaped like a cloud, Mega's personal touch. Because the garment is sheer, she also wears a simple blue garment over her chest and stomach. She also wears a white, sky-blue-striped sarong... except much shorter, the fabric wrap ending above the knees. She wears brown sandals.

Personality: Mega is a very daring woman, as one might expect from someone who participates in international fighting tournaments with glee. She gets very much pleasure from travel, adventure, fighting, and general thrills, and this makes her a very fast-paced woman. She is also in no way afraid to be a center of attention, and in fact her choice in clothing is designed to both show off her country and show herself off in the process. Mega does have an unfortunate leaning towards overconfidence that sometimes even becomes smugness.

Backstory: Born in a village in the Ngawi Regency of East Java, Indonesia, Mega was always an active girl, fighting with friends (and sometimes not-so-friends), getting in trouble, and exploring as a child. This never cooled down at all. No, age merely increased her ability to indulge herself in her adventuring and fighting, and in her teenage years she traveled and learned in the ways of the martial art Pencak Silat. With this newfound knowledge, she got involved in local fighting tournaments in Java, where she showed a combination of talent, grace, and constant attack. In an exhibition in Surabaya, a recruiter for an international fighting organization, and for a couple of years then on she participated in mid-level street fighting around the world, gaining her adventure, fame, and money... and the occasional skirmish with the ever-present Shadaloo. When Woodsworth came a'knocking, she readily accepted; it was important, saving everything and all, and she wasn't going to cry about the opportunity for adventure and fighting, to be sure.

Abilities: [0/10 Ability Points Remaining]
Light as a Cloud (Passive, Level 2): Mega is infuriatingly mobile and practicedly hard to hit. Enemies get a -2 to rolls to attack her at melee.
-Level 2: Upgraded from -2 to -3
Silat, an Art of the Body (Passive): Mega doesn't receive a penalty to attacking if her arms are damaged.
Fluid Counter (Passive): Silat often involves dance-like, fluid counters. If Mega dodges an attack at melee, she automatically makes a counterattack at a -2 penalty.
Grab and Slash (Active): Mega's style of silat involves a lot of quick grabs and stabs with her kerambit. She lightly grapples the enemy when attacking them and uses them to fling herself around them, giving her a +2 to the attack but being unusable without wide enough space.
Grapple (Active): Mega also knows how to get into more involved grapples, and that's what she does, making an opposed roll against the enemy to remove their ability to attack until she disengages. This locks her actions to the grappled enemy each turn she continues the grapple.
Ready to Roll (Active, Level 2): Mega can, at the expense of being able to make a regular attack this turn, double her dodge for the turn. Fluid Counter is not canceled.
-Level 2: Fluid Counter is not canceled.

Equipment: Kerambit: Her well-used kerambit, a weapon with a smooth wooden handle, worn smooth with use, that fits in the fist and a wooden ring the finger fits through, and a short, claw-like curved blade. Can be used for basic attacks when Grappling.
Cloud Brooch: The cloud-shaped brooch that fastens her kebaya perfectly symbolizes the free, adventurous personality that has always defined Mega. +1 on rolls to athletic things like running and climbing.

Zielon Wallet: 12,000 Zielons.

Sorry about not being there for the RP. It was getting late and I needed to sleep.

Smartphone:MSPAWiki probably has explanations that would make better sense than mine.

Essence Organ:Something something dreamself something?  I'm not sure, but SBURB has a native resurrection mechanic and Anna God-tiered so she can only die under specific circumstances...Although I think god-tiering actually invokes the resurrection mechanic so...SBURB.  It's complicated™.

Perfume/Flamethrower:It changes when I specifically refer to it in my actions.  i.e. Anna can talk about her perfume, but my actions had better say flamethrower, and vice versa. 

[Failbird105]

So just so that nobody gets confused, Tanky talks like Warpath from Transformers G1, except instead of onomatopoeia, tank actually makes the noise, like instead of saying BLAM, Tanky would just produce the sound of tanks cannon firing, albeit at the volume of tanks speech.

Also, when I said that Tankys gender was tank, I was being serious, Tanky, while not caring if you call tank by any other pronouns, personally refers to tankself with the pronouns of tank/tanks/tank

[FallacyofUrist]

@Fallacy: My concern about The Manifestation is less in its size and more in its properties, as the way I read it could be any element or any substance at any time. If it's The End's strategy for mano-a-mano before the fight is automated.

... oh. It's the same material as The End's scythe, does that work?
