-Hands over his job-
There ya go then. <_< If you can do it like that, then there's no point in me wasting my limited brainpower.
;D I'll find something else to do... maybe... I guess... possibly...
...If there is anything else. ;D If not I'll just stand here and kick a**.

Well you can do me this, start thinking up of either bad a** names for places, whether they be ripped from a song or a place that already exists or something you just pulled from the air.
Something like Nightmare Cascade-
Quick run down: Six constantly rearranging platforms that always come to completion and stop in the form of a cascading steps. Each with their own unique surfaces properties.
1 The first platform is the form of a giant flat tablet of marble, much like a section pulled out from the center of a throne room or a palace ball room. The square platform extends 70 yards diagonally.
2 The second platform it like a miniature world with it's own center of gravity. Oval in shape and round, fighter can stand on both sides of the grassy "island." It's as is someone took a rolling grassy hill and rolled it into a single grass egg. While one can stand on both sides of the arena, a small hop from the underside is enough to dislodge a person from it's grasp.
3 A cruel platform covered in multiple hazards that range from x shaped tank tracks that have been sharpened to a point that could impale even the most durable armor, to steel off-shoots of the olden log barricades. The platform surface itself is sandy and littered with thorn growth that would make standing on it without hurting ones self next to impossible.
4 This platform is the largest of them all isn't a platform at all. it is a world of water, large enough to house a pair of killer whales comfortably.
5 An devilish platform formed of hot coals mixtures of hot and cool magma. The surface is constantly changing, do to the frequent mini-eruptions, though the changes are predicable as the the spots that from which the hot earth flow are constant. The order in which the erupt however, is not.
6 The sixth platform is roughly the same size and shape as the first, however is paper thin, see through, and the edges are riddles with spikes. Aside from being the hardest platform to see, the is platform is constantly rotating on randomly changing orbits which are affected by the impact of those who touch it.
EDIT: I forgot to put this earlier, the reason it's called Nightmare cascade is because everyone once and a while, the platforms will arrange themselves in a various cascading manners in both placement and altitude such as:
This
This
and This
The arena itself is surrounded by a misy looking void. No matter how long a person stands, the mist seems distant but never get further or closer, even if they fall from the arena all together. To fall from the arena would be to fall in a realm of great despair. Eventually and fighter who would sink to low would be meet with a great pressure and crushed beneath it.
I thought this all up in the span of a minutes from just having a name alone... writing it down is the hard part. -_-
So if you could PM me random names, I could wisp up random stages, and no most of them won't be this epically outlandish. Kinda went over board with that now that I think about it.

S'pose that could be done.
I'll go find some inspirational music then. Names I'm okay with.

I've got one, and it's a b***h. A chess board where each combatant gets one "minion" to control (either a rook, bishop or knight; no pawns, queens or kings). They get to move that piece once per turn and after their post have to include where they've moved their piece to. The actual combatants can fight like normal, but they have to pay attention to where their opponent's piece is. The fight is won either when you physically defeat your opponent or your chess piece kills theirs.
You'd need to include a diagram of a chess board so that they wouldn't get lost. Pieces could only move as they are allowed to do in actual chess.
Players would be restricted to the four central squares (D4, D5; E4, E5) and also put which square they're in at the end of their post. Pieces cannot move through a square occupied by a combatant (and combatants have to go around pieces), meaning that diagonal and/or straight attacks across the center of the board towards the opponent have to be timed. This would call for some crazy coordination between the fighter and their piece. Unfortunately you could not just send your chess piece after the person you're fighting.
Perhaps another idea would be to give each "player" a queen as a companion instead, leading to more intensive strategy.
lol I always make things way too complex.

Ho's**t.
From what I read here, you all (well, at least Deviant, Revan and, of course, Ertai) are what I call "RP pro's". Meaning you're SO high above my level (call me n00b xd ) that I barely dare posting.
Okay, people told me I can RP, but that definitely excludes any fight/battle settings. And the word "psionics" alone makes my head hurt... confused
So, honestly, Ertai, I'm not sure if I would be much of an asset for your guild. At least not if you're looking for an expert fighter who aspires to tread in your footsteps. I know very well that I could never do that.
Following/contributing to the plotline though, this I could do, if that's enough for you.
Meh. I would have posted my "profile" long ago... if I wasn't so ashamed of it when I read the other profiles. sweatdrop
But I'll do it now. Just read it and you know what I mean. rolleyes

Haha, well Ichirou, would it make you feel better if I told you that the way you're feeling is the exact same way I felt say... yesterday? I'm still trying to find some place to slip in, or make up a place to call my own, which at the moment is still quiet difficult.
As for Psonics, I don't see what the big deal is.
Not getting into the detailed ways someone like me would think about it(I talk about this with my RL friends like it's a cartoon show)
Magic = manipulation of the elements (which would be like waving a torch)
Psionics = control of the elements (which would be like holding a flame thrower)
Better Psionics= domain over the elements (napalm to nukes)
As for the profile thing, Revan is both my first RP character, so has lots of time to develop, and is the main character of a series of books I'm trying to write. What you read(if you read mine) is the basic overview of his entire story until he becomes a part of my friend's comic series that he's working on.
Basically, I've got half the crap I put written down somewhere, though I can just pull it from my noggin.
Jlynn, you have just gained my affections. I suck at chess, and the board battle itself you be to much for me to do for lack of much knowledge in chess. Still, the idea behind is is incredible.

Through false sensory perceptions of the flesh...
I've never seen why psionics would be considered difficult or agonizing to understand. Even Planar Psionics. At it's core, psionics is nothing but manipulating crap with your mind. Some do this through psionic energy or ''psi'', and others fly under a banner of ''volition mechanics''. Different ''types'' of psionics are just different ways of using the same thing. Magic is similar. Magic is controlling stuff with... magic. Mana, Magical Unicorn Power, whatever you wanna call it. Virtually, the method of execution is usually (usually) the same, and just how there can be ''Better Psionics'' there can be ''Better Magic''
Ichirou, so long as you understand that you can be better, and that you're not at the top of the world, you'll get better. If you really want to that is. Just don't be like many other old men I know who've limited themselves because their minds are set in concrete. These old men refuse to believe that they can truly be beaten or outsmarted, or believe those who've received their acknowledgment are the only ones capable of doing so. Those old men are the ones everyone eventually looks back on in pity, as they desperately avoid the loss of their own egos.
Some of them are pretty chill though.

lol My character is just here for plot. I've been a Gaian for nigh on six years and I've never been good at combat. So I developed her along the lines of a damsel-in-distress with a streak of insanity (Streak? More like a goddamn tumor). She's like a siren: Ertai's not the only one who would come to her rescue if I asked. wink
However, he is the most popular one right now. whee
EDIT: The only reason I suggest it, Revan, is because I'm so familiar with Chess I'm almost sick of it. lol

Edited my character's profile some on the first page. I might change it further, but for now it suits me just fine.

Thank you for the heads-up everyone. That really encourages me to at least try, even though my combat abilities are not only limited by my RP skills (or more the lack of them) but as well by the fact that my chara is still a kid.
Hehe... reading what you guys said about the psionics gave me the idea that Ichirou might have some innate abilities that he just can't control yet. That would make se nse IC. Like *makes toy truck explode* "DAMN! How did I do that?" rofl
However, the biggest problem for me right now is my crappy laptop that makes it almost impossible to post (and read!) most of the time.
You wouldn't believe what weird signs can appear on a laptop screen... rolleyes
I needed about half an hour to read the posts after my last one...
Fortunately it gets better sometimes, though not for long, but I hope that will be enough for me to keep up.

See... what you do is back hand the b***h and give'er a black eye and tell her to work that cor-
Oh wait, laptops right? You say it brings up weird signs? Are you sure it's not that the screen is malfunctioning? Cause that's what it sounds like. However, if it's directly related with your internet, I'd dare say that you have either a horrid connection like I do from time to time, or a virus. In any case, you might want to become friends with a nerd and get that checked out(befriending a nerd would get you a free fix).

Great. When I imagine a relative of Ertai's (especially a child) I think of that creepy kid in The Grudge.

The Grudge was a pretty good movie. :]
I'm still working on my profile. (School's been making it hard for me to finish it... >.< ) I'll have it up soon though.
