Switching to New Best Moves

[Mal Nova]

Judgement(Curse of the Reaper):

Retane is now the God of Death. Retane has learned ‘Judgment’. As the official Death Dealer of the planet his Ki Sense extends into the afterlife now to keep tabs on the signatures of those he has killed or even encountered. As an added bonus to this, Retane can see and communicate with the lost wondering souls that rest in the material world.

I forgot to take a line out but Rad okayed this a few days ago as long as I took the thing about Yenma out.

As for Soul Reaper and Toxin being approved before? No. Toxin was a move I had on a shelf for a long time and decided to try it out now. Soul Reaper, is more of something like a Ki sword, with a twist, that can allow it to pass through the victim with a slash, and attack the 'soul' or energy of a foe.

And When Darkness Falls- The mercenary has control of a darkside that allows him to simply create darkness that can appear as shades of the early night or can end up as thick as pure pitch black. As well he can create solid black double mirrored walls(though these are passable that can allow one to see inward or outward... but it all depends on the Reaper's choice.

Basically its a more controlled form of Retane's Shadow blanket.

KOOLA: Spider...I mean...Icer-Sense kind of sounds like Ki Sense to me. I'm iffy on anything "precog." I'm inclined to say no, but an admin is welcome to overrule.

I'm basically using that move as an offset to my "Foresight" technique. If you could give me alternative ideas that would be acceptable, I'd be willing to alter it.

[Waffuru]

Since you have Foresight already, it's probably okay. I'll let someone else give the final thumbs-up/down though.

[Ander]

JANEMBA: Approved.

KOOLA: Since you have Foresight, it's fine. I retract my previous statement.

RETANE: As long as Judgment was approved by Rad and you're following his requirements, it's fine. But you'd be a "God of Death" in name only. When Darkness Falls is approved. As for Soul Reaper and Toxin, I don't believe we allow moves to directly attack energy. If you can find someone who has an approved move that attacks energy and show me, you can have them.

[Mal Nova]

I've had a preapproved that allowed me to sap energy from a victim, isn't that really the same thing when it comes to attacking energy?

[Ander]

Show me the move.

[Tamsin]

AMADEUS: Soul Katana needs Venemous Ki, and there's also the "kill" thing going on. No.

Em..not to sound ignorant, but what is Venemous Ki? Also, I thought "kill" moves were allowed if they were only used as a finishing (or fatality) move.

I`ll modify it.

[Mal Nova]

Electric Zap: Strings of ki stem it from Retane's fingers and wrap around a foe. As they do, The foe gets shocked and Retane drains their ki for himself in the process.

This move was one of the first pre-approved moves I had since I joined as Retane... by Burter... Attacking... draining... bpth the same thing...

But as Burter knows... I dont god mod my moves....is why quite a few of mine pushed the edge before...

EDit: Electric Zap was one of the moves I had preaproved.. but I dont want it. It's just a sample... I mean.. I had Demise an attack that only struck the soul, eating at it .... devouring it as it did. I had no issues then. I created Soul Reaper, And was gonna use it as a prequisite as a Trio..


Which brings me to . Bleh.. I'll wait till I am ok'ed first....

[Sage]

@ Amadeus: Venemous Ki is a tech. Essentially it allows your ki to 'infect' an opponent's ki, thus draining their energy much like real venom would render a person tired.

Also, if your 'kill' move was reserved exclusively for a 'fatality' type deal, I wouldn't mind it. You would have to bear in mind that it would be able to fail at a staffer's discretion. (During a saga or against a player character. Obviously if you're doing a personal RP and kill an NPC, nobody would care)

If that's the case, I doubt it would cause trouble. Bardock? Thoughts?

@ Retane: I'm not much for Toxin. I don't mind any of your other moves, but Toxin seems much too powerful. Bardock's already dealing with you and he's an SM; he can overrule me if he wants, but if he or someone else doesn't, I'm-a go ahead and say 'no.'

- - - - -

I have a question too. I'd like this answered by at least an SM, since it's weird. What if I asked for Body Split. Like, Ginyu's version. I'm planning a weaker variant, but I wanna know if the standard Body Split is allowed, since stuff like Time Stop and whatnot are being tried. If 'no', please tell me specifically why, so I can try to alter it to fit the rules.

[Mal Nova]

Bra... I'm trying for Soul Reaper and Toxin here... I think the opnly way to have Toxin is to have Venemous Ki....

But Soul Reaper... it attacks a foe but not physically seen... is what I mean.....

[Ander]

Em..not to sound ignorant, but what is Venemous Ki? Also, I thought "kill" moves were allowed if they were only used as a finishing (or fatality) move.

I`ll modify it.

We don't allow kill moves period. Any move can potentially be used as a finisher. Although, we did make it so players could determine decide the outcome of a fight so long as it was staff approved a while ago. I'm actually going to leave this one up to an admin to make the final call.

Venomous Ki: Like the poison that runs in the fangs of a snake, so does it flow in the ki of people with this technique. They are capable of infusing small amounts of a negative like ki that after infecting an opponent; causes that fighter to slowly lose stamina and energy for a sustained amount of time. Though the attack itself is never fatal, it can lead to death at the hands of the person responsible for the poisoning.

Therefore, any technique that directly attacks energy requires Venomous Ki. In your case, I got the wrong technique. You actually need Ki Absorption, not Venomous Ki. Still, you do need that prereq in order to make it an energy stealing move. The definition is below in Retane's section.

Electric Zap: Strings of ki stem it from Retane's fingers and wrap around a foe. As they do, The foe gets shocked and Retane drains their ki for himself in the process.

This move was one of the first pre-approved moves I had since I joined as Retane... by Burter... Attacking... draining... bpth the same thing...

Which brings me to . Bleh.. I'll wait till I am ok'ed first....

Look above for the definition of Venomous Ki. Also, look below for Ki Absorption:

Ki Absorption: Just like the thief that pinches a purse, a fighter with this ability steals the energy from his enemy by funneling their Ki borne attacks into himself. A powerful technique such as this is also a double edged blade as you can easily go over you body's maximum capacity and explode. So be careful.

Those moves might have been acceptable before, but any technique that directly attacks energy or absorbs energy require Venomous Ki or Ki Absorption, techniques which are earned in staff sagas or trained for on KR. So Toxin and Soul Reaper will have to be replaced or rewritten. Final decision.

I have a question too. I'd like this answered by at least an SM, since it's weird. What if I asked for Body Split. Like, Ginyu's version. I'm planning a weaker variant, but I wanna know if the standard Body Split is allowed, since stuff like Time Stop and whatnot are being tried. If 'no', please tell me specifically why, so I can try to alter it to fit the rules.

Are you talking about Metamorphosis? Like when Ginyu switches bodies? If that's what you mean, I'll say "no" based on the grounds of Bebi's Liquefy. We ended up banning that move because it caused so many problems. People walking around in different bodies would be difficult.

[Tamsin]

Soul Katana - Using a combination of ki and magical powers, Amadeus can create a energetic move in a shape of a katana. Using it, he cuts through his opponents soul. Although the opponent quickly recovers from the cut, it awards Amadeus with the ability to use one of his opponents moves once.

Is this better?

[Stryker]

(3) Devils Play - Stryker releases his ki into the air around himself and his foe, shrouding them in a cloud of darkness. This attack leaves his foe unable to see for a short time, enabling him to flee from a fight, or attack his enemy with minimal defense.

(5) Demon Barrier - Casting a small field of energy around his body, Stryker can negate small energy blasts, physical blows(pending strength of opponent), and if he concentrates enough, can release it in a fifteen foot circle, causing moderate damage to those around him.

[Mal Nova]

Soul Reaper- The Reaper taps into the other dimension and calls forth a densien in the form of a scythe. The blade is known to take a solid or transparent form, able to seemingly go through the foe, sending spasms and chills throughout his foe with every strike.

Web Seal- The mercenary slams a fist into the ground, creating a web like outline along the ground. Those caught within the spread of the outline are stuck until they overpower the entrapment or the energywithin weakens. If Retane is within the web as well, he can exert energy through the grounded web and cause the foe to mimic his very actions.

Rigamortis- The reaper's hand emits a crimson aura as he beckons forth the power of the dead. He can release a crimson orb, or touch the foe physically with the hand, and the appendage touched by the red energy stiffens until it can no longer move. The time it takes for the effects to weaken depends on the concentration of energy and the power of the foe.

[Ander]

AMADEUS: You can make Soul Katana a killing move. However, you need staff approval to use it. So, you can either make it a killing move or use the revision you just gave me.

STRYKER: All approved.

RETANE: All approved.

[Alexander Trafford]

(These moves are either direct copies or direct copies with small variations from moves i've had accepted in the past in my character vault. except Chains which was accepted way back when as my tenth move but never added, and Black Fire which was the move bestowed upon me in the Pantheon Saga. Also, a question, in addition to these five best moves - how can i buy more best move slots, and can i still create combination moves?)


Chains- Minoshia throws out his arms and long black coils form from his palms, three coils per hand. The long 'chains' are whipped around like weapons, lashing his opponents. The black coils attack at a long melee distance, but strike with the force of energy attacks. If a direct hit is successful, and the target is close enough, the coils can temporarily wrap around a section of the opponent and hold it (ie- an arm, so it can't block, etc.), making areas of the body vulnerable to attack from the other coils.

Shadow Runner- Minoshia raises his index and middle finger of his right hand and touches his forehead. As he closes his eyes and concentrates deeply, small cracks open in the ground below him and dark steam rises from the vents in the Earth. The dark steam acts as a coating, a layer of film, that reduces nearly all friction on Minoshia using little Ki and maximizing his speed and agility. In consequence, his ability to move at high speeds lowers his ability to react quickly enough to block attacks, and his defense is lowered.

Black Fire- An Attack acquired by the Konat during his tenure as the God of Darkness. Combining his knowledge of Darkness and Evil with his pyrokinesis, Minoshia can create a fire so black and dark that it eats light and drains the feeling of happiness out of everything that the flame encompasses. Any target hit by the flames experience no physical damage, but suffer from excruciating mental torment and pain.

Hellfire Summoning- Minoshia opens up his body, stretching his arms and legs into a 5 star sort of look. His body becomes incrimsoned in his Kaioken energy, as the boost in energy this technique gives him is mandatory to perform the attack. The ground splits below the feet of the floating Konat, fires from the depth of hell itself burst from Earth’s wound and wrap around Minoshia. As the fires surround the Konat warrior, the spirit of hell rests inside him as he is emblazoned by the fires of hell itself. All of his energy is released from the massive flames around him; hundreds of missiles launch themselves from his body. Ki Mortars erupt from the crevice at his feet, raining into the air and descending on the person/group Minoshia is attacking. The Sky is completely filled with an arsenal of Fiery Ki. This attack drains a substantial amount of energy from the warrior and his ability to use energy attacks is limited. The Crevice closes as the Demons from the underworld can be heard cackling.

Infernal Bombardment- Minoshia cups both his hands and places them against each other such that a spherical pocket exists inside the ball his hands created. Dark Energy forms inside the pocket and his hands slowly spread apart as the ball of dark energy grows. Forcing the ball away from his body in a straight line towards his foe and enemies adjacent to said foe. Immediately the orb it explodes into hundreds of smaller energy balls that take off at different angles (less than 90 degrees) and home in on the initial target(s) and attack the enemy from all sides, making the attack near impossible to completely block. Minoshia is vulnerable as he charges the attack and immediately after he releases the initial orb; due to the immense concentration needed to perform the attack he lowers his defenses.

[Ander]

All of your moves are fine. If you want to buy a new move slot, it's 10 TP per slot. Combos are no longer free; you have to buy slots for them just like a new move.

EDIT: Just to be sure, Shadow Runner has no actual affect on your stats whatsoever.

[Mal Nova]

I have 11 out 15 moves already used...I understand I have 4 slots left and have 6 moves below. As soon as this weeks thread is put up... im getting 5 more move slots, so I dont think theirs an issues. 'Sides who says all these moves will be approved.

Silencer- Retane puts a finger to his lips and with a simple "Shhhh", the target that it's aimed towards becomes deaf.

City of Shadows- Retane is able to turn the area into a replica of Trion, the city that was made into a ghost town by the mercenary on Namek. (Kinda like how Babidi could change the places and shit.) But in the town are the lost souls killed by Retane. The roam about seeking vengance on anyone that comes their way, only they are simpletons and could hurt you if they tried.

Fear- A simple black blast from the mouth, being hit with the blast causes the target to become paranoid and fearfull of all around him temporarily, depending on the concetration of the attack.

Black Fang- Through a simple bite, Retane releases a toxin that makes the victim forget what has happened a few hours before and after the insertion of his fangs.

Feind Mastery: After years of training and mastering the art of his dark techniques, Retane learns how to inflict even more pain. His aura turns a pitch black and when he uses a dark attack it becomes a little more powerful without draining more of his Ki. (This move was denied before by Burter, but he said that after I got SNS he would think about it)

Shadow strike: Retane can send shadow appearances of himself at an enemy. Each clone performs one move, be it a simple punch to a complicated blast. After completeing their movement, they disperse into thin air. If the replica is struck, though, it puffs in a cloud of smoke.

[Ander]

RETANE: Silencer, no, because you can't debilitate someone like that without staff approval. City of Shadows, no, because if it's an illusion, you need Telepathy, and if it's real, a character can't have the ability to change matter. Fear, no, because you'd need Telepathy to get in someone's head like that. Black Fang, no, because you can't affect someone else's memory period. Feind Mastery, no, for the same reason Burt denied it. Shadow Strike, yes.

[Mal Nova]

Bloody Hell.... All denied but 1? Can someone just gimme a few techniques so half my moves dont get put back on the shelf? lol

But Fear.... i wasn't thnking te lines of mind control... more of like an enzyme that temporarily affects the mind...

And Silencer was more of a move that assisted the mercenary IC with his assassin missions..
