Celeste Torikana

[The Silent Orator]

Name: Celeste Torikana (no middle name was given to her)

Age: 14

Gender: Female

Race: Biologically enhanced human.

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Power Level: Mid-Tier High (or high-tier high... needs help with this one)

Timeline: Modern

Appearance: Celeste has long, black hair that goes down to her waist. Her two eyes are of different colors, one is green and one is blue. Her bright-pink t-shirt bears the words in light yellow cursive "The world is an easter egg. Who will claim it?"

She either wears a black skirt that goes down to her knees, or white pants. She often wears pure white sneakers.



Personality: Celeste grew up originally as a punk/emo kid. Throughout life, she became more of a prep person. Now, she believes that all people with powers are better than people with no powers. She looks down upon humans without powers as something to be cleansed off this planet.

She tries her utmost and very best to be the catalyst for the genocide of all living creatures without powers. She despises most of humanity, feeling that their need to do harm before help makes them dangerous, not only to the planet and it's ecosystem, but eventually to the universe itself. She believes that by the death of all humans that she deems "not appropriate to live on this planet", she can reverse the destruction that humans caused, and to begin re-populating the planet with those that she singled out as "superior" beings.

History: *Ugh, this will be completed eventually. It is a very long history... longer than any of the other sections here... and it really takes a lot out of me to type it. It will, however, be done... sometime*

Powers: Celeste has a variety of powers she uses in battle.

-Acidic Sludge: Celeste has the ability to shoot a highly corrosive acidic substance out of her hands. It corrodes anything upon thought, meaning the sludge is only acidic when she wills it to be. The substance could sit on a normal person, and not do anything, until she thinks it... in which case it would dissolve the person, bones and all, in a matter of about five to ten seconds.

-Toxic Rain: Celeste has the ability to create stormclouds above the battlefield. These stormclouds rain a toxic liquid substance that, when it hits the skin, uses its slightly acidic properties to penetrate the skin and enter into the bloodstream. This poison usually attacks the heart, and the nerve receptors around the heart that keeps it beating.

-Poisonous Respiration: Celeste has the ability to expel poisonous gasses when she breathes out. If she takes a deep breath in, she can breath out a poisonous gas, either a translucent/opaque cloud, or a colorless gas. When this gas is breathed, it will slowly attack the nervous system, eventually making muscles unresponsive to nerve impulses by the brain.

-Hair Manipulation: Celeste can curl up into a ball, and stiffen her hair around her, causing a ball of protection, similar to a hedgehog. The tips of the strands of hair, if it penetrates the skin, injects a poisonous substance that alters the chemicals within the brain, usually causing insanity or lack of focus/concentration/thought. Each strand of hair is ten times harder than diamond.

When a strand is plucked out of her hair, it straightens out and stiffens, essentially becoming something like a spear. It can be thrown at an opponent, and as with the defensive maneuver, the hair is very hard and the tips are very sharp. It will also inject the same poison when and if it breaks the skin.

-Alteration of atmosphere: Celeste has the ability to cause people who fly to lose traction in the air. It is similar to driving on ice, except it is flight. When a person stops, they'll just coast through the air, as a car would on ice. Essentially, she creates the air so that it is slippery, and unable to control movement as easily. However, it only spans a certain area, and can usually be noticed by a yellow-ish tint of the area, as well as the very slight scent of soap.

-Bubbles: Celeste can conjure bubbles in midair. Large bubbles, small bubbles, any size bubbles. Often she conjures it in front of herself so when she is skidding through the air with her other power, she can stop herself. Sometimes, she can make the explosion more potent, and put the bubble in front of a skidding enemy, often causing them to fly right into it and setting off a big "POP" that can throw an enemy quite far if they're not prepared. Some bubbles, however, are more durable, and can temporarily ensnare an enemy within it's transparent boundaries.

-Summons: Celeste can summon her biologically enhanced humans to the battlefield. (this part will be in the history, when I finish it) Essentially, she picks up homeless people from the street, and experiments on them. Occasionally they go crazy from the power put into them, but some of them retain the power, although their minds come under the control of Celeste herself. (/history) These summons have superhuman strength, and can carry up to 75,000 tons. They also have flight abilities and have super speed that can go up to Mach 10. Their power level is roughly about 6 or 7.

However, due to a complication with summoning, she can only have one summoned creature out on the battlefield at once.

-Energy Manipulation: Celeste can manipulate energy in battle, such as energy blasts, energy waves, etc.

-Subconscious Cleanliness (XD! I love this power.): An automatic power that activates even without her thinking of it. Should her clothing, hands, or face get any dirt, grime, blood, etc. on it, it is immediately cleaned off. Any tears, rips, loose strands, etc. to her clothing will automatically be repaired. Any minor cuts and scrapes will instantly be healed. Hey, if she's ever losing a battle, at least she's losing looking clean!

-Healing: Celeste has some healing abilities with herself. She can, with a short amount of time, heal a sword cut to her stomach or a stab with a spear to the arm (in which case, after the cut is healed, the Subconscious Cleanliness repairs the clothing and cleans up the blood, lol). She can re-attach any limbs that are cut off either with the original, or any extra spare body parts she might have at her base. However, she cannot regenerate new limbs.

Weapons: Celeste wields a few weapons.

-Poison Needles: Celeste has an almost infinite supply of these things. Whenever she pulls some out of her pack, it is refilled by a certain spell put on it that transfers needles from wherever her supply is to the very pouch. It is about twice the length of a sewing needle, but just as thin. It is pointy on both sides, and hollow on the inside. When thrown, it tends to fly silently through the air until it hits its mark. When it penetrates the skin, a poison is released from a very small release point at the tip into the bloodstream. This poison hacks away and attempts to deteriorate a person's immune system, causing them to be more likely susceptable to disease, and less likely to cure them.

-Germ Bombs: When these things are thrown, they explode in a cloud of smoke. This cloud of smoke usually carries germs, bacteria, and viruses for disease. Her most common one is the common cold. One whiff of the smoke is enough to get any normal person sick.

-Katana: This curved blade is made from a very fine material. It is not steel, but rather a special metal that is about two times more dense than diamonds.

-Spectre Sword (second power only available in certain RP's under certain circumstances granted by permission of the RP's GM): A special sword that belongs in a pair. The other copy belongs to Pseixhthor. It is a special sword that does not obey the laws of physics. It can pass through all physical objects, and do no damage. When swung at a person, it can bypass any weapon or armor used to block it. However, the problem with the sword is, physically, it will bypass the person too, doing no physical damage. This weapon, without it's second ability, is mainly used as a bluff weapon to try to distract the opponent.

However, when its second power is activated, its ability changes. It still retains its ability to pass through objects, and it still does no physical damage to the opponent. However, it reacts with the neves within the person, causing a person to feel pain as if they were hit. Although no physical damage is done, the pain will still be there. Sometimes, if enough energy is put into the sword, it will create an illusion to the victim that there is a wound there. This illusion is a very powerful and potent illusion, not even seen through by many masters of illusion, deception, and energy manipulation. So far, the only person to have ever seen through the wound's illusion was Pseixhthor herself when her and Celeste battled each other.

Weakness: Celeste despises incompetant and immature people. Oftentimes, when she fights one, she tends to lose her temper and fly into a rage that, although might slightly boost her power, will cause her to lose focus and concentration, making her attacks less strategic and more direct, thus more easily counterable.



Note: XD! This character is over a year old, the bubbles, energy manipulation, and soapy atmosphere being her only powers at first. So, no, sorry... I didn't steal the soap-elemential idea from y'all from the discussion in Oscar's topic. *points to RP archive* I can prove it too....... if I had my computer back.

[Giant Brother]

Heh, I like this person's powers. You don't see many poison powers. Which is a shame, because Poison is one of the cooler elements out there. I'd like to see this girl try and fight Coleo Archost, my toxic character. It'd be an interesting match.

[CHANGEME]

*attacks with a strand of hair* For Spaaartaaa!

How has she "gone through life" if she's only 14?

Why is one eye green and the other blue? Does it have anything to do with her powers?

Do you know how long hair that goes down to your waist is? Really, really long, especially if it's spiked out like you're saying. And ten times as hard as diamond? Did you just throw that number out there? Do you know how hard diamond is? It's very hard. You could get by with just saying it's hard as steel. Normal, mundane steel.

And do you know how acid works? You know how powerful an acid would have to be to be able to kill a person in five seconds, let alone completely dissolve them? It maketh no sense. I should think just burning the skin would suffice, 'cause even that has to be a crazy strong acid.

And realistically, a strand of hair, no matter how stiff, is too light/thin to make a good throwing weapon.

Lastly, the character herself... Is that all there is to her? All that power and no depth at all?

Just curious, Flame, but why do you pack your characters full of ultra-krazy-powerful powers? Do you do this consciously, or is it just a habit? You don't have to be able to beat everyone else...

Edit: Heh, that's okay, I didn't even think of the soap-elemental thing reading her profile. MY soap-elemental is to be an OCD dude, anyway. ^_^

[The Silent Orator]

She's 14 years old in her body, but she's really... hmm... about 64, I believe. A magic spell was cast on my characters (Flame, James, Liz, Celeste, and Rykua) to reverse the process of aging on them by fifty years. The whole history is REALLY, REALLY long, and spans seven novels... that's why the history part is incomplete.

The different eyes are from the biochemical experiments she had done on herself (She majored biochemistry in college with a minor in anatomy). The hair isn't spiked out all the time... only when she wills it. I know how hard diamond is. I had the geology stuff I did in boyscouts, with extra research behind it.

Actually, HCl at 1.0 M is enough to penetrate the skin.

I don't always do that. It's just that the characters from the novels have to have an equal power. Rykua and Celeste are to be equal, Mirai is slightly more powerful, Flame, James, Liz, and Rufius are equal (and slightly less than Rykua and Celeste).

Glazer, Celara, Chlis, Kin and such are slightly less powerful than Flame and James.

Everyone else, I make normal... like Lemon and Lime.

[Ninmast]

I'm going to be blunt, Flame. I think your character creation is really going downhill. I would say this is the worst character I have seen from you yet, if I hadn't read Lemon and Lime's profiles before I got to this one.

Your geology is off. Hair is too flimsy, even if stiff, to be thrown. I don't care what equation you can pump out to give a required amount for penetration. That doesn't mean you can throw it. And you can't. Not to mention, you could make it as strong as titanium, and at that diameter, it might as well be string. That's simply too thin to be effective.

Her powers, while cool in concept, are lousy and powergaming. "Oh, you overpower and outnumber me three million to one! I'd be screwed, except I summon a storm of acid rain and now you're all puddles of organic goo and there's nothing you can do about it!"

Every one of her powers are some sort of godmodding bit. Worst of all, it's not even good godmodding. And it really doesn't matter how old she really is. 14 just isn't substantial in character presentation. Shoot, Star's an adult, and I think she could make a mess of Celeste with a fair amount of ease, but she looks 16, so not many take her seriously.

I have to agree with True. Particularly lately, all your stuff has been about pwner power and almost nothing to do with good, well-built characters. You even make your moves set in stone to make surviving - much less avoiding - impossible.

Oh, and lose the Spectre Sword. Just plain lose it. I'd out and out flag it, but since it doesn't actually do anything, I'm just giving advice. It's a stupid idea. "Oh, look! I'm swinging my sword at you and cutting you in two because you can't block it! But I'm not actually cutting you because it doesn't actually do anything! But you think I am, so you're going to leave yourself open so I can squirt you with my almighty slime and melt you into a steaming puddle of puke inside of ten seconds!"

Really, Flame ... I've seen better from you ... And unfortunately, "better" was Flame and Rykua.

[Veros]

The Spectre Sword is usefull for a feint attack, so they drop thier defense in another area, allowing her katana to get past thier defenses. Plus with the effect of the Spectre Sword, they might want to simply ignore it since it can't truelly hurt them, but then they learn of the second power, surpise!, they momentarily are knocked off guard by the pain that shouldn't have happened, making it the perfect time to exploit that dropped guard. Basically, the Sectre Sword is ment for STRAGETIC reasons, instead of simply damage.

Acidic Sludge could easily be countered by moving energy to the top layer of skin, and then causing it to flare outwards, which would take it with it, the same can be done to stop it from getting on you.

Toxic Rain, same way.

Poisonous Respiration, don't breathe in a moment after she breathes out a deep breath, or repel the gas the same way as Acidic Sludge.

As for the hair, the defensive abilities would put it on par with a number of other people's defenses. Hair as it is stuborn enough it doesn't change its shape, unless you really work at it, there for a hair that is made of a substance that tough and made straight, would probally be harder to bend then a tank, not to mention if its straight its more aerodynamic and would there for be able to 'fly' more accurately then a bent or curly hair.

So, so far I've personally came up with the use of the Spectre Sword, and how to avoid and resist the effects of her main powers, and how her Hair Manipulation could work. [/rant]

Flame nice character, pretty interesting.

[The Silent Orator]

Considering the disaster of Battle Arena, High Power last EAB, I created this character.

These attacks are easily counterable. One person swung a sword through the air, causing a gust that blew away the poison gas. In that very same battle, the toxic sludge attacks that were shot only hit the target once, and before she could activate it, he set an energy barrier betwee nhis skin and the sludge, rendering it effectless.

Your geology is off. Hair is too flimsy, even if stiff, to be thrown. I don't care what equation you can pump out to give a required amount for penetration.

It stiffens as soon as it is plucked out. It stiffens to become a very straight spear. When thrown at a right angle, it will not encounter much drag/air-resistance, because of it's small diameter. And before the "respect reality" rule is enforced, I WILL say that I went straight to my Physics teacher at school, and consulted that with him. I anticipated this problem, so, I went to him, asked him about it, and he said if thrown at a right angle, it will work, just a throwing a spear would work.

Her powers, while cool in concept, are lousy and powergaming. "Oh, you overpower and outnumber me three million to one! I'd be screwed, except I summon a storm of acid rain and now you're all puddles of organic goo and there's nothing you can do about it!"

Hence why I kept putting the quote "normal person". A normal person, such as a powerlevel of 1 or 2 here, will encounter severe problems (but then again, it would agianst any 8 or 9 chracter here). A higher-power level character could easily put up a resistance against the powers. A barrier to block the rain, a simple gust to blow away the gas... a good RPer can contrive a solution to counter her powers without creating a Deus Ex Machina.

I have to agree with True. Particularly lately, all your stuff has been about pwner power and almost nothing to do with good, well-built characters. You even make your moves set in stone to make surviving - much less avoiding - impossible.

I suppose the fight with Airoar in the previous EAB was not? I'm not saying he's a god-modded character... in fact, I really appreciate the work Kainus put into the character. His spells took away my character's powers, basically leaving a character with a power level of 9 without a isngle power, possibly defeatable with a character's power of a 1 or 2. His spells neutralized every single aspect of my character. He could've killed her in one hit, if I didn't just go "Eff it" and forfeit the match by letting her just die.

Do you know how long hair that goes down to your waist is? Really, really long, especially if it's spiked out like you're saying. And ten times as hard as diamond? Did you just throw that number out there? Do you know how hard diamond is? It's very hard. You could get by with just saying it's hard as steel. Normal, mundane steel.

I know how long hair down to the waist is. I have a friend who has hair almost to her thigh. I won't say it is steel, because of characters like Star out there who can punch through steel like I could punch through a wet piece of paper.

Hell, in an RP I was told about, Star was entrapped in an steel or iron dome (I forget which), and she punched through five feet of the metal as if it were child's play. A character with a power level of, not 9, but 8. If an 8 can do that, and 9's are more powerful, then I don't think having a defense as hard as steel will be able to cut it at all.

And realistically, a strand of hair, no matter how stiff, is too light/thin to make a good throwing weapon.

As I said earlier, I asked about it. When it hardens to it's actual hardness of 10x diamonds, it's density becomes super high. So, despite the fact it has very little volume, because of it's density, its mass is still pretty high. When thrown at a certain speed, it is less likely to reduce speed from air resistance and drag because of its momentum (mass times acceleration). You can say I broke the reality rule, but I have an actual AP Physics teacher to back me up.

Just curious, Flame, but why do you pack your characters full of ultra-krazy-powerful powers? Do you do this consciously, or is it just a habit? You don't have to be able to beat everyone else...

1) They're not packed full of ultra-krazy-powerful powers. I simply take powers that have rarely or never been used, and use them for my own. Hell, I can even devise a perfect method right now for Star or JP to beat Celeste... but I won't tell you (because I'm not stupid enough to tell how to beat my character).

2) Have I ever won a battle with my characters? Has Rykua won against Star? Did Miraison win against Airoar? Did Rufius win against Spectral? Think about it. I've never won a single battle in my time here on the EAB, even with their... how did you put it... "ultra-krazy-powerful powers".
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't see how this is bad. She is an offensive player with almost no defense to boot. Master Zero was similar. He was attacked by Flame, a mid-tier high character, with his strongest attack without so much as being scratched... in an RP that I was GMing. If that's not powergaming, then I hardly fail to see how this is. Even supposing Master Zero was a 9, that only makes one number difference. The other fight of an 8 versus a 9 was Star vs. Rykua. Star dominated the battle, only getting hit once, while Rykua was being pounded... despite the fact that Rykua was a 9 and Star was an 8.

[CHANGEME]

*laughs* STRAGETIC reasons, eh? Vanity, Veros. All is vanity!

Acidic Sludge- Oh, well, excuuuuse me, we aren't all HPFs y'know. We don't all control our energy/ki/whathaveyou. What are the rest of us non-magic users supposed to do? Die? Psh. I can't have that.

Toxic Rain- Same thing.

Poisonous Respiration- In the heat of battle, you're going to hold your breath? Not even addressing the physical nigh-impossibility of that, what character is going to know she's gonna breathe out poison gas? They shouldn't know.

As for the hair... Look at your fingernails, 'cause hair and fingernails are made of the same stuff. Now think of a hangnail. Now think of a four-foot-long hangnail and turn it to diamond. I don't care what material it's made of, it's too light to throw, and it will break under its own weight, I don't care how "stiffened" it is. And that's a very generous exaggeration of width.

I'm not challenging the Spectre Sword, as long as it doesn't bypass any of my characters' armor.

Don't be snide. Shut j00 down.[/rant]

EDIT: Darnit, Flame, stop freakin' beating me to the post! Now I have to go read through all that change my own post accordingly.

[Veros]

Hell, in an RP I was told about, Star was entrapped in an steel or iron dome (I forget which), and she punched through five feet of the metal as if it were child's play. A character with a power level of, not 9, but 8. If an 8 can do that, and 9's are more powerful, then I don't think having a defense as hard as steel will be able to cut it at all.

Actually, she got dumped with molten metal wall to walk through, but she would have punched through it anyways. But it was harder then diamond.

I've got a character that's power level doesn't even enter the mid-tiers half the freaking time that could resist those attacks like I resist attacks made by a Jeremy! All you freaking do is plan ahead about one hundredth of a second! And he doesn't have energy manipulation or magic or ki! Even mild regeneration or healing abilities could counter the acidic power of them. Cause it'd be burning the top layer to find out it regrew before it could get past that layer, atleast slow it down long enough to shake the stuff off. As with Poisonous Respiration, I hold my breath during small parts of fights when I know I'm about to get hit, so I don't possibly puke if I get hit in the gut. Plus in a battle and how he described she must do to use it, could be noticed moments before by a loser as those neck muscles tighten up, though as a mid-tier low at the most myself, the only thing even slightly possibly harmful is her hair, the rain, and the sludge, as long as I'm not caught off guard, that is without getting into her weapons and her summons, which is fairly similar to Kadine's summons, but hers are more static and she can have only one, Kadine's main power probally lies not in his speed or strength but mainly in his summoning abilities, cause man sized dog demons, which are maybe low or mid tier medium are his weakest, and he can summons dozens apon dozens of them to swarm a group of people, he can even 'amp' their power up a few notches too. So really her summons though she has them aren't really too strong, helpful but not really too strong.

As for the hair, it appears that it would work, just with what I know about hair, and if must, I'll get my teacher, who has a diploma for *gasp*biology, with how much weight a hair of a material that strong could take before it snapped, since over here with a normal hair, its too tough for me to even rip it *gasp*. [/rant]

[Kainus Maximus]

Firstly, Veros, your counters to the character, while noted, are very... restricted, you seem to take things only your character or characters can do, or a small group can do, while it may work for your characters, or the small group of characters, I wont say it works for the mass majority. I will go over some counters that go over for the mass majority.

Honestly, I am not fond of this character, however, that is mere personal prefference rather than rule, logic, and moral breakings that the others seem to go to.

If I had any problem it would be the hair hardening to that of diamond. While I do note, I did not take studies on geology, I did put some heavy research into diamond, in refference to another character, and while the context of diamond is harder than anything on the planet, it is extremely brittle. We didnt always have diamond saws and lasers to cut diamonds, we used to use hand tools in order to cut and shape large pieces of hard diamond, so if you have say diamond that is as thin as a strand of hair, it will probably be very very breakable... if I were you, I'd choose a different element... or make one up "Hair stone!"

That is my only qualm besides my generics.

Acidic sludge is easily dodged by higher powered characters... it's sludge, not a bullet.

Toxic rain, easily repelled by clothing, hats, etc. Flame only said it penetrates skin, NOT clothing, if he said otherwise, then it would mean something.

Things moving at the speed of gas are not fast... plus a good number of higher characters are immune to poison, including Toxic Rain.

I would work on the Hair manipulation, put in more detail on hardness and such.

I have no problem with Alteration of Atmosphere, in fact I have a character who has a similar power, it is a denial power, frusturating, but completely 100% legal.

No problem with bubbles either.

I dont know why everyone thinks this character is the end all type character... Airoar can do basically the same things as her, they just arent listed. Star isnt the only one that can take her easily, Daristan probably could as well (no offense Flame, that statement is just based on speculation, not fact) but many of her attacks are easily countered.

I dont see how this character is worse than some others I have seen... and I've seen some I really, really, really dont like, I just choose not to comment. Granted, I dont like this character, but those are for personal reasons (characters under 17 who are extremely powerful really irk me, dont ask why, dont make comparisons to actual canon characters under 17, I dont like them either) but really everyone, is this character truly that bad?

I dont see how this character is as powerful as it is, but some of you that are going on the godmodding bit, I would say this character has less manipulation than Airoar, and concerning the instant deaths, well, seeing as all of such powers are completely countered (Unless you are fighting naked) she isnt that much comparable. And if she is, she is supposed to be level 8 (9?), arent those level charaacters supposed to do that to the lower levels? I know if I were unrestricted with Airoar, all it would be was Phantasmal Killer, Power Word: kill, Finger of Death, Disintigrate, Imprison, Symbol of Death, Implosion, etc. This character's instant kills are highly limited, so she is not as effective.

Concerning the physics rules and such... there are some minor, debatable things... but if personally, I'd rather be light on physics, otherwise we scare potential RPers away, and instead of Role Playing, we are debating whether things can or cant happen, granted sometimes it's unavoidable, but here it is unesescary past the first and second post. Sometimes it's better to let things slide here and there for the sake of making a more interesting RP.

Either my tolderance for characters is extremely high, or some people's tolerance has gone straight down...

Please do not reply to my comments in a smart ass manner, or they will be replied to in kind, or simply ignored.

About that issue. She really isn't 14. She's simply stuck in a 14 year old body. Her age is really about 64 or something like that. I still haven't done all the math and the timeframe skips yet. What happens is a certain power was used to return her body to it's former youthfulness. She lost the excessive physical power she had gained over the years, but her energy level remained the same.

Hope that clears that up.

[Ninmast]

Alright. Veros, you're wrong. "Strategic" reasons is what you give when you form a double of yourself and pour most of your power into it, leaving you vulnerable while you try to sneak past a group of supervillains, not using a sword that's unblockable and can convince even the most powerful and experienced in energy sensing, psionics, or anything else that they're mortally wounded. And before Flame says that he was referring to normal people, perhaps he should look at what he wrote. "This illusion is a very powerful and potent illusion, not even seen through by many masters of illusion, deception, and energy manipulation."

Now, Flame, I don't remember the "disaster" you're talking about. The reason you lose so many fights is because your characters aren't as good as you think they are, and apparently, you don't understand what others are, either.

Master Zero is an extremely high Level 9. He took a direct blow from Binary Shatter Level 2 Spectral without receiving a scratch, and you expect a little fire from Flame to do something?

As for Rykua and Star, I've long said that Rykua is NOT as powerful as you think she is. I would place her far closer to Star in power, who is near the higher end of Level 8. You talk about Rykua being a Level 9 as if that automatically puts her on par with super-invincible beings of absolute power, and it doesn't.

I don't care what your Physics teacher said. Yes, there is a very, VERY narrow window under which you could accomplish such a feat, but the odds of a human being able to accomplish it with any degree of dependability, especially in the heat of battle, is almost nonexistant. And a hair is about as thick as a spider's web. Now, a spider's web is incredibly, incredibly strong. It has a tensile strength that puts some of the hardest things we can devise to shame. But because of how thin it is, it isn't even as hard as string to us. Your diamond hair would be equally vulnerable, despite its alleged tensile strength being far higher. With the increased density, and resulting weight, when you grip it in the middle, providing an anchor, that weight is going to cause that hair to simply snap in two. It may be strong, but especially if you make it stiff, and thus more brittle, it won't have the size to distribute the new weight along its length effectively to remain in one piece.

As for your defense by saying that was how it affected a normal person, you can pretty much forget that. I just counted. You mentioned "normal" people only twice in the entire character profile, once with the sludge, saying that it would sit on even a normal person until she activated it, which was not a description of its power, but rather the control she had over it, and that her Germ Bombs could make a normal person sick, which goes without saying, since you're bombarding them with the common cold, though the weapon is still incredibly pointless, dare I say it, stupid. The required incubation period before the person was actually sick would be far too long to be effective in battle, and it may not even work. As far as you know, the person may have a higher immune system. It wouldn't have to be remotely of superhuman levels to shrug off a simple momentary exposure to the common cold.

My feelings concerning Airoar as a character are well-known. To put it simply, I don't particularly like the way he plays sometimes, either. However, if you are trying to excuse yourself by trying to find fault with people you believe are worse than you, you'll find yourself largely ignored. Assuming he is worse, "Two wrongs do not make a right." And at least Airoar has a good character concept. Yours is a 14-year-old chemical biologist mastermind with an unblockable sword and acid that can melt someone in seconds. Please tell me you see the difference.

Yes, Rykua lost to Star. Yes, Miraison lost against Airoar. Yes, Rufius lost against Spectral. Yes, Flame lost against Master Zero. Instead of complaining that you got your rear handed to you, perhaps you should pick up on the pattern. It suggests you are just slapping a high number on your characters without giving them either power or brains to back it up. It suggests your characters are not as powerful as you want them to be. But I think you do see it. That's why you put out characters like these, always trying to make something more powerful, but always coming up short. Much as Enigma, Karli and Game Maker are always trying to slap high numbers on their characters and make them super-powerful, so do you, and by overestimating, you come up short and lose time after time.

Hell, in an RP I was told about, Star was entrapped in an steel or iron dome (I forget which), and she punched through five feet of the metal as if it were child's play. A character with a power level of, not 9, but 8. If an 8 can do that, and 9's are more powerful, then I don't think having a defense as hard as steel will be able to cut it at all.

...

I don't see how this is bad. [Celeste] is an offensive player with almost no defense to boot. Master Zero was similar. He was attacked by Flame, a mid-tier high character, with his strongest attack without so much as being scratched... in an RP that I was GMing. If that's not powergaming, then I hardly fail to see how this is. Even supposing Master Zero was a 9, that only makes one number difference. The other fight of an 8 versus a 9 was Star vs. Rykua. Star dominated the battle, only getting hit once, while Rykua was being pounded... despite the fact that Rykua was a 9 and Star was an 8.

Ah, and here's the best part. You say that it only makes one number difference when talking about how a character you made incorrect assumptions about beat you, and yet the numbers are all you seem to see. You want my advice? Stop looking at power levels. Stop trying to make uber villains that are the pwnsomeness and make everyone quiver in their boots. Stop caring only about how much damage you can dish out with your ridiculous, two-eyed fools with their unbelievable names.

It suggests you are just slapping a high number on your characters without giving them either power or brains to back it up.

Shall I pull out the old Miraison profile? I GAVE her the power and the brains. She built a computer from scrap parts at 8 or 9, and she had a wide array of powers. Remember you said, "She has too many powers. Either tone her down or remove the powers."

I toned down her powers and removed the shapeshifting powers, as well as the necromancy powers. Subsequently lost a fight because of it. If she had the shapeshifting powers I originally gave her, she could morph into something to dodge some attacks or get through the globe of blades that Airoar put up. If she had the full-capacity of the power suit I gave her, that fight might've stood a chance. Because I toned her down by following your advice, she was slaughtered with no hope of recovery.

(Ignores Ninmasts post for now until I can/decide to read all of it.)

About that issue. She really isn't 14. She's simply stuck in a 14 year old body. Her age is really about 64 or something like that. I still haven't done all the math and the timeframe skips yet. What happens is a certain power was used to return her body to it's former youthfulness. She lost the excessive physical power she had gained over the years, but her energy level remained the same.

Hope that clears that up.

I am quite aware of that, and still dislike her, I dont like older characters stuck in a younger body. I HATED star when she first came out, but I'm tolerant now, same with Flame and Rykua, they are all older correct? Doesnt mean I dont dislike the idea of younger characters...

[The Silent Orator]

They're about the same age... well, I think. Flame's 14, Rykua's 16, Liz is 18... Mirai is stuck 19 forever. She can be a thousand years old, and her body will still remain 19... until someone kills her. Glazer was 24 or 25, if I remember correctly. Flame, Rykua, Liz, and Rufius... as well as Celeste, were stuck in the time-reversal as well... they're all about fifty years older than their age. That's the reason they're in their level. During their first debut in the books, I'd have considered them mid-tier to high-tier medium, with Rykua barely being a low-tier high.
