i’d like a description

[Archenhailor]

you mean cestus/gauntlets?

[Archenhailor]

I guess I’ll sorta start now. Before that, you’ll decide on a map that EVERYONE from all matchups/rounds will play in. This can be changed (everyone playing on one map) if enough people say so.

Since the list of maps won’t fit the poll limit (max 20 items per entry), I’ll first have you vote on the logic.

Logic

• Real Life
• Arcane Odyssey
• Deepwoken
• Minecraft

Map (IRL)

• That one ideal physics place without air resistance nor ground friction (with space suit)
• Outer space (with space suit)
• Amphitheatre of Nîmes
• Epidaurus Amphitheater
• Mount Everest
• Mount Rushmore
• Stonehenge
• The Grand Canyon
• Giza Plateau
• Machu Picchu
• White House (including yard)

Map (AO)

• Redwake
• Frostmill
• Cirrus (with fall damage)
• Ravenna
• Shell Island
• Forest of Cernunno
• Mount Othrys (top)
• Elysium (entire)
• Sameria

Map (Deepwoken)

• Etris
• Isle of Vigils
• Lower Erisia
• Upper Erisia (Burning Stone Gardens)
• Upper Erisia (Towerstruck Lands)
• Minityrsa
• Monkey’s Paw
• Boatman’s Watch
• Greathive Aratel
• Miner’s Landing
• Summer Isle
• Songseeker Isle
• Fort Merit
• The Lordsgrove (No Aratel teleporter)
• The City of the Drowned
• New Kyrsa (no npcs, no Ethiron, no space-time collapse)

Map (Minecraft)

• Ragni
• Nivla Woods
• Nemract
• Selchar
• Almuj
• Nesaak
• Rymek
• Llevigar
• Stampy’s Lovely World
• Polemus (voidless bedwars)
• 2b2t spawn (up to first obsidian wall only)

@Archenhailor

Minecraft

would this logic also include minecraft’s strength of gravity

[yrni0]

Uhhhh, ok:

Subworld

This ability allows its user to create a large horizontal one-way portal measuring approximately six (6) meters in radius on the surface that they’re on with them as its center.
Upon entering the portal, its user is greeted with a scenery of his desire with a randomly placed exit portal. Such scenery can contain man-made structures, but nothing that the user can consciously make use of (e.g. weaponry, super cool automatic laser machine that doesn’t target them, cannons, anything predictable really, traps are an example of unpredictability).
As the environment within it can harm its user, it is advised to not create immediately harmful subworlds.

This ability can only be used once at a time and is deactivated then put under a 5 minutes cooldown (up to discretion) if everyone within it exits it.

The size of the Subworld and variety of environments could scale with power tier, allowing for bizarre and unreal sceneries to be made at later levels.

---

In essence, this ability changes the arena to whatever its user desires without changing the logic/mechanics of the current map.

[sock]

so if we’re in minecraft could you create an anvil?

[yrni0]

Mayhaps, but it’d probably be better if it was reliant on my character’s knowledge (meaning that they probably wouldn’t be able to).

[sock]

your character doesn’t know what an anvil is?

[Archenhailor]

youre def going to landslide win in some maps

i just realized if sock’s teammate can fly then it’s game over for everyone else

[yrni0]

They probably do, just maybe not a minecraft anvil.

[yrni0]

Btw will abilities be announced when one party faces another?

[Archenhailor]

yes, everyone’s supposed to know anyways

[lookingforabargain]

is this all the votes? It’s been a day

[Archenhailor]

i’ll close it in a few hours

also heres the teams, request if you want a change

[lookingforabargain]

btw my ability on the doc hasn’t been updated

[Archenhailor]

oh oops

wait what is it again

[lookingforabargain]

Well these are all the versions of it other than the one on the doc right now

This version that you rejected

@lookingforabargain

Since it’s not already clear what properties my lasers would have that differ from real lasers, I would choose a buff that gives them clearer, more powerful properties:

• my “lasers” would just be beams that erase matter from existence at a rate of a certain number of kilograms per second. They don’t generate heat
• they only affect solids, including large particles suspended in fluids. They pass harmlessly through any fluid, whether opaque or not. Solids that are transparent or that reflect light would still be affected
• they move at the speed of light
• I can choose to make any solid or part of a solid reflective to them. I would do this by choosing an area, and any solid in that area would be affected. I can also make non-reflective a solid that I previously made reflective, again by choosing an area
• the beams are scattered if they reflect off of rough surfaces or round surfaces, just like light
• the beams are invisible, but when they destroy solids, they may make noise because of fluids being sucked in to fill the space, or for other reasons

and I also want this

• I have a 6th sense that tells me exactly where the beams are at any time, but I don’t have instant reaction speed, so I can miss something if it happens too fast. If the beams are scattered, I still know where they are, so if I make a whole room and everything in it reflective, and then let the beams scatter many times, and they fill the whole room, then I can know where everything in the room is by knowing what spaces the beams didn’t occupy. However, as the beams become more diffuse, it becomes harder to distinguish between spaces occupied by beams, and spaces not occupied by beams. In exchange for this sense, I have no other senses, so I have almost no way of knowing about fluid-based attacks like from dubious’s water pokemon

with this modification that you have yet to appraise

@lookingforabargain

How about if the lasers just liquefy or vaporize solids, and if they are semi-transparent but become harder to see as they become more diffuse

and sheep’s version

@Sheep_Enjoyer

For example, off the top of my head, it seems like lookingforabargain wants to be a ranged DPS kind of character. An efficient way to make this work without the lasers filling the whole room and basically killing everyone would be to make the effect diminishing the more they travel/bounce. So getting hit directly by the lasers would be your main concern, and being hit by the reflections would be an afterthought but still dangerous.

Say the lasers do erase matter from existence, in the meantime to not get all sciency and calcy, we’ll say that in just one second it erases up to 5 cm of the matter the lasers are touching. And the same way light starts becoming more faint the farther it goes, the lasers have diminishing returns the farther it goes. So say… like it goes 10 meters and it goes from being able to erase 5 cm per second to 3 cm per second, at 20 meters it goes to 1 cm per second. It would make the lasers still a threat and a fight to end quickly without giving him too much AOE damage.

To make up for that and encourage the sustained DPS on someone, the laser stacks onto itself. So the longer you lock your laser onto someone, the more effective its erasure will be (kinda like the infernal dragon or infernal tower from Clash Royale), so it’s the opposite of the diminishing effects, in the sense that if you lock onto them for 1 second, it’ll erase at a rate of 7 cm per second and so on.

So simply put, this makes the lasers still able to reflect but less effective at longer range and more space. It encourages him to lock onto someone for better and continuous damage. It gives him a defense mechanism (lasers are stronger at point blank range, yet easier to dodge and outmaneuver) while still managing to deliver heavy DPS. It forces a fast-paced fight in which people have to be constantly dodging, with LFAB working on his spacing. Not too far and not too close.

(bruh are you blending them together)

[Archenhailor]

@lookingforabargain

(bruh are you blending them together)

yes

[lookingforabargain]

but do the lasers vaporize/liquefy at a rate of mass per second like in my proposal or length per second like in sheep’s, and do they still move at the speed of light
