First the questions!

ok, so, what is your characters fighting style?

Kerren hits hard, and fast. He wants to end the fight as soon as possible, without any bloodshed (Hopefully). he is like a little wall, he is hardy due to everything that he has gone through. So.. kerren has a high defense and offense and he's lived a good lot of his life, street fighting. So he doesn't play clean. He is one who many struggle to fight. One way to win against him is to make his emotions go hayawire, because that'll make him mess up, leave himself open so you could get in a win.

Heisuke, he's a heavily defensive fighter, but also a dirty fighter. He stays on the defensive until he can get in and do something to make you lose or just give up.so like. He'll be defensive, get close, and then sucker punch. and if he can't win, he bolts.

and now the promos!!

Kerren's comic!

Heisuke's novel!

Andrew does the pew pew pew with his fire magic and stays at medium range. He also has a demon transformation (which he can't currently tap into without losing control).

Danivere is a close combat fighter with her axe. In her regular state she focuses on hitting hard and fast. However she also has her surge which boost the density of her body, making her heavier and stronger. The downside is that she becomes a lot more sluggish but her power and invulnerability to nearly all regular weapons and attacks make up for it.

Quite contemplative. I'm still on hiatus so I won't promote but I'll still answer because the person that made these threads is fun.

Alist uses a long-distance fighting style. Snipping is one of those aspects but emphasize more on how she analyzes her opponents in a bird's eye view mode. A delicate and formidable eye is needed to avoid blind spots whenever she uses her water speciality. Ending someone's life or game without her enemies knowing she's the culprit just assures Alist that all loose ends are nonexistent. Just don't snitch her when she tells you that she's the mastermind behind the raucous.

I usually only answer for Adi on these, because you won't meet Koreal until next chapter, but I'm gonna do both of them today!

Adi: She was raised as a hunter, so she prefers a stalk, get close, and shoot or stab from surprise. Textbook (or Player's Handbook?) rogue M.O. BUT, when she's adventuring she also learns how to handle a sword and fight in melee combat, so she prefers to take you out at range or by surprise, but she can and will fight you face to face if she has to. (She also eventually learns how to use poison, too, so if she has time/opportunity, there might not BE a fight in the first place.)

Koreal: Being a wizard, you'd think the answer to how Koreal fights is 'magic', and you'd be ... mostly right. But there's more to it than that. See, Koreal doesn't just know actual magic-- he also gets a lot of mileage out of stage magic, aka sleight of hand and the like. So for most minor fights, especially against people he doesn't actually want to kill or seriously injure, he's likely to fake his opponents out, use some minor actual magic to take them down, and make the whole thing embarrassing as hell. For big bad opponents, though, where he fully intends to kill them, he's a fan of the 'It's not overkill if it works' method, and will bring his nastiest magic to bear.

Short version, don't cross either of them, but definitely don't cross BOTH of them.

Brutal. That is the only way to describe Ivan's fighting style. He is always calm in a battle and will exploit any openings his enemies will show him. He tends to attack for the vitals, usually going for eyes, ears, or other sensitive places. He also likes to make his enemies drop their guard by riling them up and whenever he is assured of his victory, he will make sure to put on a show. He needs to fight brutally since he is the only magicless person in a world full of magic. But, the latter part is completely him being the scumbag he is.

You might look at Samuel and wonder "why would a nurse like him fight?", and yet miss an important detail about him. For someone who isn't attached to life, his dedication to save others isn't about passion, but rather about redemption. Raised by the Federal Government, he was groomed to be loyal to the Provisory Regime and fight for it's glory, going as far as enlisting to a military highschool. But well-- at some point, he saw through the smoke and mirrors.

He was commended as a gunslinger, but his true passion lies in heated melee battles. He's crafty with a knife and nimble on his feet. But for someone who now uses his hands to heal, that's a no go.

So one wonders why he has chosen to take up a sword...

Luca Vincenzo is a free style fighter, basically an MMA fighter
However he uses his electric abilities to enhance everything he does, he can control every part of his body consciously using the electricity, even his organs and nerves. He also pours electricity into his punches and kicks so it feels like a stun gun. He also has an electric field around him that detects abilities and allows him to predict his opponents movements once they enter the electric field.

Alfredo, being raised by Jadie, who is Half Italo-American and Half Thailandese, knows Muay Thai, She teach him like how kids usually learn martial arts during elementary or middle school, although, She wasn't that much good since... well... Her "Tee Jooh Kick" (Kick on the chest), always ended up being too lower, at the height of the Groin... and Her twin Brother, Frederick, always ended up being a victim of such lethal attack... and unfortunately, Alfredo inherited her "Wrong Tee Jooh", and there is a scene planned where He will use it against his foe, admitting He didn't do it on purpose.

A Fantasy with Sci-Fi roots, I hope it does count anyway.

GENRE: Fantasy, Sci-fi Drama
From the nights He used to spend by reading tales of "the Dreamers", the young Alfredo Ananda Kasem always longed to be one of them as well, unaware of the Potential that resides in his Echo, that could change the lives of those around him, whose Stories, connected to His, are the KEY to bring changes to the World of Gaia, and lead to its peace once and for all.

Callis is quite the proficient fencer. He can adapt to his opponents and use different stances. His weapons or choice are heavy one-side blades, he normally uses only one but pulls the second one if needed. He is quite nimble and agile, his body capable of contorting beyond the limits of a normal human.

Novus isn't big on fights, he is somewhat proficient with Fire and Wind Spell Formulas, but he is really bad when working under pressure. He barely has any kind of melee combat training, so getting in close range is basically an automatic win for his enemies.

In my novel's world, despite Shinichi being a trained hunter, being a non-mana consumer leaves him in a disadvantage against almost every other human being. So, when he is in a fight, he is more on the defensive, making sure to dodge and block every single attack. When he does attack, its decisive, always aiming for the weak points. Though, even before entering a fight, he always makes sure that he knows who he is fighting.

Irish doesn't reallly have any tactics. He heavily relies on his fire abilities and just likes to see things burn. His ability is quite powerful as well. One touch of his flame can easily turn something into ashes. As such, he is inexperienced in physical combat.

Zero's more coordinated. Like Shinichi, she went to a hunter school and was properly trained in combat. She likes using her legs the most, delivering hugh kicks and roundhouses to her enemies. But as someone who uses blood magic, she is quite anemic. She doesn't exactly know how to use her magic properly and will insist to shape a scythe with her blood even if she just collapses from blood loss. It's something she's going to work on in the story though!

Ime is very adept in multiple martial arts and weapons. He can manipulate flowers and leaves so he uses that to his advantage, shaping weapons with it as well. He doesn't like to waste time. Every movement he makes are meaningful, always aiming to kill. And as someone with a fast recovery, he isn't afraid of getting injured.

Fighting style-

The three heroes can each manipulate a state of mass:

1) Evan (Solid) can calcify his bodily fluids to create light Swords, twin daggers & javelins. With Owen's help he learns to make jellies and explosive/poison bubbles. His spit is his most reliable source of weapon creation. Much later he can convert external materials into solids.

Evan's fighting style is based on the light swordsman/thief class. As a former Track & Fielder, he is swift in battle. He is an amateur fighter inspired by: (a) he used to play tennis with his parents (b) as a child, he participated in Medieval European Sword classes and (c) for the last two years, Xun has thought him parkour and basic assassin techniques. (left handed)

2) Owen: can transform his body into a Gas,teleport to other allies, merge with allies to amplify their attacks, levitation. Later skills: far sight, teleport to memorized location, disintegrate opponents. He can animate his camcorder to scout for him.
He discovers many of his abilities via fright or fight response. He starts as the weakest hero but evolves into the deadliest. (right handed).
Owen has no former fighting experience.

3) Xun: (Liquids) As a former assassin, he starts as the most skilled of the trio and is the mentor. He can transform into liquid prehensile forms (full body & partial). He can enter porous surfaces. With Owen's help he learns to poison and disintegrate enemies.

His fighting style includes MMA, parkour, a combination of assassin techniques armed/ unarmed. He worked as a gogo dancer his fighting style also draws from B-Boy dancing.
He is the strongest of the trio, and also swift in combat. (right handed).

Bonus: Mr Patchez (incapitated for most of story)
Fighting style Wrestling. Revealed to be an immortal with super self healing & inhuman strength. He has been known throughout history as other aliases such as Hercules, Thor, Samson, Gilgamesh.

Extra bonus: 1) Issandro: formal training in Capoeira & controls Gravity. 2) Raffa: gas ability similar to Owen but can shapeshift into a wolf. 3) Puppeteer (alias) no fighting style, remote mind control by use of symbols.

always have fun with these, thanks for the opportunity! Will sub back anyone who subs.

Lucifer moves fast and observes a lot his enemies' moves. He doesn't have the best defense but is difficult to touch! He also doesnt just use weapons, but his best weapon is his wiseness and confusing the other fighter with words. Of course, his fire powers are also of great help.
As for Michael, he is the best at fighting. Not only his sword is the best weapon ever created, but he also is harsh, strong, and knows a lot about sword fighting and even body fighting. He's very fast too, maybe not as much as Lucifer, but enough for him and his skills.

Aerith fights with what she has and wants to get fights over with as soon as possible. She uses a dagger most of the time, and will try to hit the enemy's pulse points and vulnerable spots. Either that or blind luck

Luci tries not to hurt anything as much as she can, but when she has to fight or defend someone who can't protect themself, she uses elemental magic and telekinesis.

Hanako relies solely on magic to fight, and will use spells to put the enemy at a disadvantage and then go in for the kill with a close range spell.

Hyacinth knows magic, so when she has to fight she'll use mainly close range magic. She is also very skilled in martial arts, so if her magic is somehow disabled she can fight off the enemy physically.

Jin will rely on his powers to control plants, and will wrap the enemy in vines to keep them from getting away.

What is your characters fighting style?

Silver: He is a street fighter, expert shot, and will just wing it. Lots of punches. Will throw a kick or sweep move as needed and use the environment to his free-running advantage. Do not give him guns unless you want him to torcher with accuracy.

Dawn (not yet introduced): A trained arena fighter. She relies on her speed and exact hits. Prefers to use opponents moves against them.

Banusi (Anubis) (not yet introduced): He's partial to weapons' that provide extra reach to help his speed (scythe, sword, etc.), but can do well with long range like a bow or spells (however this slows his movement). Close combat he can do and take a lot of damage (he's dead so duh), but can lose the upper hand in water environments and still can be weaker strength wise since he's more speed. He's a great tactician, but his occasional immaturity can lead to downfalls.

Emilio (not yet introduced): Great at stealth and spells. Can falter with long range and close combat is 50/50.

Armando (not yet introduced): All close combat and strong, but not always the fastest and range is not his forte.

Those are the main people.

Oh that's rather interesting with the manipulation of mass and those phases of matter

Rocksteady_Comics 2021-06-26 06:17:17 UTC #16

Alright, going to do the whole crew for this one!

Enkal is a skilled practitioner of the ancient fighting style of running the heck away. That’s it. That’s how he fights. If cornered he’ll try throwing some punches, but he’s not very skilled so they won’t do much.

Carolina is one of those Goku-like, fighting is fun types. She doesn’t always take fighting too seriously and typically isn’t trying to really hurt her opponent. She incorporates a lot of wrestling moves into her fighting style.

Joseph doesn’t enjoy fighting as much as Carolina, but he has a way bigger chip on his shoulder. He’s involved in an amateur MMA league in his spare time, and uses a lot of the same moves inside and outside the ring. He favors quick punches, and tends to go for the uppercut whenever he can.

Andy isn’t the type to start fights, but he will finish them. He tends to stay at range and fight using gadgets. His go-to is his own invention, flashcrete: a super-strong, quick-hardening substance that is released from a pod when thrown. As far as he’s concerned if he can immobilize an opponent, it’s a win. He played baseball in high school and still has a pretty good arm so he can hit an opponent from pretty far away.

Sybil-3 is a flying cereal box with crab-hands. Physical fighting is what she has Carolina for. She prefers to wound foes emotionally.

Many thanks my friend!
It originally spawned from a game idea where the 3 playable characters heavily relied on each other's ability with the states of matter. The other factor was that they had to avoid humans as best as they can. Humans turned into zombies upon contact & if too many people turned 5, 10, 20 etc they wld merge into bigger, tougher monsters. That meant rescuing people/ loved ones form infected became a balancing act too.

I don‘t wanna spoil too much, since I got to upload the first fight scene (a minor one compared to what‘s to come) yesterday, but I can safely say that the ones that have been shown - being Josi, Riverfang and Shadedancer - are mainly melee fighters.
Shadedancer, however, also uses magic; in the recent episode 6, he is shown to hold down Riverfang with said force. I don‘t wanna get into the details yet, since I plan on building upon that in chapter 3 and even further beyond, when I get to a certain point, but I can safely say that besides melee fighters, there are a lot of ranged ones as well and that besides the magic system, there‘s also a second one based on „energy“. As I said, I‘ll go further into it in 4-5 episodes later, when I‘m on chapter 3

Scruffy dude's fighting style, if you can get him to the point where he decides fighting is a good idea at all, is very defensive. He's an earth mage, so he'll throw up a wall, and just try to book it out of the situation as fast as he can. If possible, he'll trap his opponent and again, just run.

He doesn't like fighting. He's actually quite decent at it, being a powerful mage for a human, but he dislikes it regardless. He'll usually try to either trick or talk his way out of confrontation.

djourner 2021-06-26 15:30:28 UTC #20

Oh boy, is this going to be a long one.

So let's start by looking at the easiest one, Azreth.
Azreth fighting style is quite 'feral', he is both agile and strong, but has pretty much no refinement, any of his tactics often relying on his physical strength to push back and subdue opponents and his natural constitution and resistance to magic and elements to shrug off damage.
Azreth is very much a 'tank', making up for his inferior tactics, planning and lack of magic control with sheer raw durability, and defeating most opponents through extended attrition.
His magic at this point in the story is unrefined, and defensive, meaning he often uses it (without even realizing) to heal and protect himself rather than any offensive capabilities (even though he REALLY wants to shoot a laser out of his eyes or something like that xD)
Psychologically, Azreth will often try to use his wit to provoke his opponents in combat, often talking out of his ass to try and get them to fight him. A tactic that works on him too, he is quite a hothead and easily prone to make mistakes when provoked... I guess bullying works against the bully to hu?
Azreth can also shapeshift into a 5-6m dragon form that is pretty much a bigger, meaner, beefier and tankier version of himself, he can't fly in that form but can level a house with little effort... But all in all, shifting to dragon form makes him sluggish, and doesn't give him any magic bonuses. It is useful for powerful opponents, but generally cumbersome against nimble opponents.

Grey is pretty distant from that mess.
Grey is a literal killing machine, sharp senses that basically cannot be fooled, forward thinking and tactical prowess, tons of deadly honed skills and a proficiency with pretty much any weapon known to man as well as unarmed combat, Grey does it all, being very versatile and powerful at everything he does... He is quite literally that guy who took perfect combat stats but little in social.
He can shoot with deadly accuracy, hit like an absolute truck, dodge and grapple as he sees fit, defend well, provoke, lay traps, everything is a possibility for him... So you never really know what he is going to do... Grey is one of the best fighters in the entire world of JTA, few people could match his experience and skill, and it shows.
He does have weaknesses contrary to what one might think at a glance, he is strong like Azreth, but he is not SUPER strong, nor SUPER durable, meaning that on a prolonged engagement a resilient guy like Azreth will shrugg off damage while Grey would accumulate it... And considering most of the problem enemies they fight are people on that level he does have some rough matches sometimes.
He also cannot perform magic, so to compensate he uses gadgets and uniquely crafted weapons to gain an edge, couple that with his general knowledge of anatomy and decades of experience as a bounty hunter and there is pretty much NO ONE Grey can't beat if he is given enough time to analyze them... Not even dragons, or members of the council.
However, tech does come with the disadvantage of needing him to prepare it beforehand, he can't make a gun in combat so he needs to be prepared, and ammunition is always a concern, that is why he carries a hammerspaced suitcase with a large selection of premade items he can choose from... only he knows the extent of what he can do, but it should go without saying that he has limits.
Psychologically, Grey is pretty much immune to any emotional manipulation, he has a deathly chill aura when it comes to killing and will not hesitate to put down anyone he thinks is too much of a threat... And he won't waste any sleep about it either.

Now for the tricky one.
Vernon is odd because of a few things, physically, he is little good, he has outstanding agility but that is pretty much it, no strength and pretty much no durability in his frail little frame.
His influence (the name of his magic) can do pretty much anything, from turning a lit cigarette into a fireball, to making a shield wall out of a car door. He can reinforce and reconstruct objects as well as lift them up into the air and move them around at his will... But use it too much and he will have it destroy his body internally and sap away his strength.
Technically he can do anything any one mage can do, like, he could make a fireball, but a fire mage does it better than him, his magic also has the limitation of needing physical objects to work, he can't make fire out of thin air like a pyromancer, he has to have a flame source that he can duplicate, same for a shield he can't make one with just magic he needs metal or rocks or something.
So while versatile and strong, Vernon has glaring weaknesses that are obvious from the get go and he needs to work around them on every fight... Don't underestimate him though, as just as easily as his magic can bend a sheet of metal it could bend your bones out of place.
Thing is, there is another caveat, his psychology, Vernon is a true martyr, he is unwilling to hurt ANYONE even the lowliest of the low, and the most horrid and fiendish opponents. So though he could easily separate peoples head from their necks to win any fight, he doesn't and always tries to look for the least lethal and damaging way to take down his opponents... one of the main points of the plot is Vernon learning how to have a bit more of a self-preservation instinct and allowing himself to hurt people that want to kill him without devolving into a sobbing mess.
He does have his reasons for being the way he is, so one cannot fault him entirely, but he does have issues that he needs to address before becoming a full hero... His overwhelming anxiety, lack of experience, and unwillingness to go all out being the main deciding factors.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned is just HOW proficient Vernon is with magic and analysis in general, it's been hinted at that he is good but Vernon is actually one of the top 10 conjurers in the entire world (and this list includes elder dragons that have been around for many millennia) ... And he doesn't know it at all... He has an extremely fast mind that can unravel and analyze opponents magic in seconds, and by far his mind is his most deadly weapon, if he is not pressured enough, he will eventually find a way to win.
And when the little guy gets a solid plan... It's pretty much game over for anyone going up against him.

Now, I would love to also talk villains, but this has been 2 pages already on my word doc, so i'll cut it short here xD
