::nod:: And I'm never going there... I just don't believe in being that obscene when it comes down to it. I guage my characters against human strength, not against gods.
The way I see it, if a human character can't at least get a lucky shot in against the character, it's too powerful. I don't hold other people to this, obviously, but it's how I make mine.
I'm a firm believer in building a better mousetrap, not just laying out stronger pesticide.
In terms of absolute, obsecene power and unkillable-ness, I have one character that is a god. He doesn't act like it, he doesn't throw around powers and intervention all over. Most of the time he just swings a little stick around and gets hit a lot. If he got hit enough his body would break. Then he'd manifest a new body back at a temple or somewhere and go about his business. Though I've had the character in play for over 2 years, the furthest he's ever gone with using any power was to teleport twice; plucking someone out of harm's way.

Gel - Psh, I refuse to fight Ertai simply because I think psionics are horribly annoying and cheap. Which is pretty much all Ertai seems to use.
And I posted in our match by the way.
Oh, and..Since I'm pretty sure you're gonna kill me, if my character acts cocky and stuff, I don't really mean it. o.o It's just how she acts. Cocky with a twist of the morbid side mixed in.

I've been thinking a great deal about how to deal with psionics... And eventually, it dawned on me that I couldn't possibly know, as I've never fought someone using them. As such, I would like to ask the ever-so-never-so-vague OOC'ers if they could offer up some strategies.
I should state that my character is a basic human at most times, and as such, most outlandish strategies fail to really help me, although they are amusing.

You must align yourself with a neutral deity; then polarize the seventh plane while holding yourself at a perpendicular angle to the heavens and the earth.
Following that, fart really loud.

themightyjello You say many truths, but all of them are irrelevant in the face of one thing: Despite what arrogance can do to a person in creating an opening for an opportunistic attack, that doesn't really get Vanilla Ice anywhere, considering he is armed only with the little switchblade, and his opponent is some elemental being of pure and unrelenting pwnage; thus rendering him immune to physical damage. In such an instance, only the traditional 'energy blast fight' would deal any damage, and unfortunately for Vanilla Ice, he has no gangsta' rays to shoot from his eyeballs. Immunity to damage > the best defense
Now, I admit, that's true. But against a flesh & blood opponent, the possibility of victory's still there.. though slight.Quote: It's not about keeping yourself from getting hit at that point, it's just laughing at the guy who walked out into a lake and started punching the surface of the water because he thought he'd eventually hit a vital spot. Quote: Nowhere in there have I ever said that Gangsta A can't defeat the other guy by thinking quickly and taking advantage of opportunities... I'm just trying to point out that sometimes the only chance you have (in character, simply based on the opposing powersets) is to get that one lucky break and run with it as far as you can. Quote: I know, oh god do I know. It's actually my preferred method; hence why I tend to set my characters below, or far below, the average 'power level' that I observe in the people around where I'm intending to RP with it. Quote: I fully intend to enjoy the Cthullu vs kid with ADHD fight... and I'm gonna win. pirate
I've never had to send my preferred character into his 'ultimate' state. I'd prefer not to, as well. Besides a number of factors I won't name, it'd mostly mean I'm backed against a wall, metaphorically. domokun
My point being: I always believe that any character in any roleplay can attain nearly any point of power. They must, however, abide by the fact that it will either: take up equivalent time, stamina, their health, or what have you. Otherwise, it gets rediculous, like a "God" that can flip an enemy off and a realm of reality explodes over them while a million swords impales their bodies, AND ten clones of said being crushes their organs from the INSIDE, before said divine being takes a step back, yawns in mild apathy, and scratches his a** boredly.I will say: that 'state' I referred to earlier, I've never had to resort to in a roleplay. It'd be interesting to actually try it out in a battle situation..

Well I'm gonna go to bed now, since I've got school tomorrow and such.
Oh! And just so y'all know, Gel and I decided to have a no time-out rule on our match. Since, I sometimes can't get on the computer in three days. So if neither of use posts in three days, it really doesn't matter.
Anyways, see everyone later. Be back tomorrow.

Typhoon_Omi There is no such thing as "immune to damage". There is high tolerances to physical or otherwise assaults, but when you say you're "immune", often, said person is bullshitting. domokun
Now, I admit, that's true. But against a flesh & blood opponent, the possibility of victory's still there.. though slight. Referencing a conversation I had with someone while having a 'conversation'. Me: "Don't taunt him, he'll effing kill you. He's crazy." Guy: "If I turn into water elemental form his fists won't do anything to me." Me: "What happens if your rib cage gets torn out before you have a chance to?" Guy: " eek ...that could be bad." Quote: You're right. However, the concept's not to seek the opponent's vital/weak points. It's to let them expose it for you in what they believe are infallable attacks. An ocean is impossible to pinpoint a single spot upon, and a man could not stand against it. Yet, if it rushed forward in a flood, he could find shelter - and the flood, in a torrent of power, would merely rush by - then disappate. In human terms, foolishly. "Mr. Madison. At no point during your rambling, incoherant responce were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul." Billy: "...a simple 'no' would have covered it." Quote: ..Kid with ADHD? Should've entered Lord Xenu. pirate Those who have experienced the terror of Tiem and the Tommys beg to differ. ...though I should have entered Lord Donald Bridget Armond Joseph Elliott William Kyle Henry James Mohammed the Third. No squirrels, snails, or watermellons would be safe. And someone protect the coconuts for the love of god.

So.
I managed to find time after my homework, which is massive in volume if not difficulty, as I find is generally the case with all the work I get, to post.
Walking in and a likkle rain.
Now I gotta backread other places and get to sleep. I hope I get more time before Alcherts match comes up, or I could be stretched to spending nearly all my rp'ing time here.

Though, admit I was right. And, I didn't use the dog as a metaphore for what I was talking about, so it wasn't THAT bad. :Toad: ..Though, the water DID find it's way home.
[Sigh.] And now, to help.... with the one thing I abore the most.
A MySpace group a friend owns. I HAF DISGRACED MY FAMIRIIII! [Seppeku.]
