My character's goal is to make you a mindless drooling fool if he defeats you, so I'm sure that's going to be much more unpopular than the whole negating field.

likely not as much as you would think xp after all, the challenge of a bad guy is keeping them from getting what they want... so it is the ultimate goal to just beat him, what he wants sometimes doesn't even matter blaugh

Ecks X how much people frowned at him for that. That's like asking how much people frowned at... I'm too tired to continue this analogy so come up with your own... But either way, I keed, Ryugi, I keed.

Null-magic field = "Hey, wow, I'm not actually a good enough fighter/RPer to handle someone else's character as they were intending to play him/her, so I'll make everyone play their characters the same way I do."

A null/void character could work, if you made it work RIGHT.
Stuff like having the field burn out during fights if the person tries to use magic/whatever a few times, have it backlash and do damage any time it nulls magic, or something.
Permanent null/void of powers is really annoying, though, and would have to be made out to be really interesting for me to get behind the idea.

Brendyn Rogel Null-magic field = "Hey, wow, I'm not actually a good enough fighter/RPer to handle someone else's character as they were intending to play him/her, so I'll make everyone play their characters the same way I do." In the Star Wars world, there exists a planet. On this planet is a creature who has evolved to use the Force to hunt and kill its prey. Due to this, there is a small lizard on the same planet that actually has a natural field around it that nullifies the Force entirely. And with all the magic users and metahumans running around who are ALSO warriors, I don't see why it'd be odd at all for someone to have a nullification ability. I think it's a neat idea, personally, but different magic users have different ways they control whatever it is they control. You'd have to work out how it'd nullfy all the different kinds

I get that there would be legitimate IC reasons for it, but unless it's implemented creatively like Darth mentioned, it's just a b***h-move OOC. You can't justify something that happens in a self-contained, single-author universe as being fair or right because they always have deus ex machina at their disposal. In the competitive RP combat world, no one likes being told "No, you can't do that because I say so" when they've put a lot of thought into their character and have legitimate reasons for them being the way they are.

I don't like your argument.
So I'm just going to stab you in the stomach and then plant a bomb in there. Also if you survive the bomb will make you sterile.

Hmm... yes, I can definitely see where you're coming from. I think that if done properly, though, it could work right. Or if done oddly, like some little bookworm who has a 9-5 job who at completely random times (as designated by a roll of the dice) suddenly puts out this field without knowing at all. X3

Null/void = psychostigmata.
Every time they null/void an attack, they suffer damage. The bigger the attack, the more damaging it is for them to null it. Then the character and player has to decide whether or not they really want to null an attack or not. And they can't get off scot free going "lol i null ur attak" which leaves characters heavily based on magic completely useless.

You have really gotta learn to separate out what makes a character a bad guy IC versus OOC. Being a douche OOC just makes you a douche. It doesn't make your character a bad guy.

The corruption rather than negating actually works very well with my character when I come to think about it.My character's goal is to eliminate the free will and thought that humans and other human-ish characters represent. Ie, animals do things according to their nature and fit in with the world as such, they all have a role, however my character believes that free will is ruining the world, and so wants to reduce free will to nothing. Therefore as someone who hates when humans do things unexpected and not normal, the corruption field would be ironic almost, as the humans get frustrated when their magics do things they don't expect. I hope that's understandable. I'm sure someone's about to make this a tl;dr version anyway.

And they can't get off scot free going "lol i null ur attak" which leaves characters heavily based on magic completely useless. But nothing is stopping the magic user from just using magic over and over and over again. You'd have to have it cause a discharge to both persons energies or the magic user can just keep attacking until the dude using the null is dead without any real effort what-so-ever.

I agree with this, I've seen people throw out magic almost effortlessly nowadays. That would be more a disadvantage to the nuller than anything.
