Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay For the fight in LOTD between Ray, and André both individualy fighting Belax clones, we're seeing some issues.
This fight has a dominant need for speed and agility, strength is an addition but from what I see it's mainly based on who can function faster.
My fight ( André against one of the clones at the camp) has been mainly on trying to even out or turn the advantage field or more precisely to slow down the clone to a point where André can manage to hit the clone with atleast half the rounds he fires. The use of gravity spells is what has been used so far to increase the weight of the assets on the clone, no real bullets as of yet as those won't cause as much damage on clones as they wouldn't have the prolonged effects of an injury on the real thing.
The disadvantage to start off for André at the beginning started off as him of him primarily being a long range type of character. Sure he has a keyblade but he's poorly skilled in fighting with swords which would still be used as a last resort either way, since there is more ease for him to utilize the twin pistols he has. But then Belax is a close range character with a lot of speed, who could probably dodge the bullets with ease if there is enough distance. It really all depends on how fast a bullet can travel and Belax's speed are, and the distance between the gun and him. The closer the gun is the less time Belax would have to dodge, so if any of the shots did make it- and it doesn't have to be the body- they were more likely from close range shots, which would have André having to keep light on his toes else he could really get wounded. His most unlikely advantage is being in mid-air where it appears the clone can't really reach.
André also has a heavy use of magic, but if only 1 out of every 10 rounds made it he's probably used a lot and is tiring out, which he would know this himself, and thus a clone is summoned to help him- yeah even bigger use of magic but probably a good investment- while he rests until he can be able to forge more bullets, this won't really take too long as Ken'nun's there, and Ken'nun being André's familiar assists in the amping of his powers and how fast he can recover.
Most of the character me an Ive designed were never really meant to go 1-on-1 with other complex characters or monsters. And Ken'nun helps in that purpose too, providing powerufl barriers and barrier-based attacks, which makes up for André's lack of strength- compared to the others he wouldn't have a whole lot and he's not designed for it because again he's a long range fighter- and a slight flaw in his defenses.
This character is supposed to be able to use his wits and think fast, there's nothing much to it. When you think about it. In fact, in the first encounter André pretty much played a supportive role against Belax while letting some of the rest be the offensive.

And now to Belax. Belax is a close-range-up-in-your-grill-type of character XD (( sorry just had to do that. )) with a lot of agility and perhaps strength, usually those kinds of characters don't have good defenses or health and usually little amounts of magic skills. With a sadastic mind that probably relies on bare instinct than wits, and a hack-and-slash type of fighting style, this would make Belax a brutal killer. But we're only fighting clones, and how well would his clones be?

Now I'm going to be informal. David, really how good is Belax's clones? They can't be complete replicas of him, because he seems like a guy who would rather do the fighting himself. Even André's clones aren't all that perfect, and he uses a different technique all together. For one thing it's not usually an imitation of him but a temporary vessel weilded by a voluntary spirit, with only a few select skills in them from André himself. The more skills he tries to apply to a clone the less likely he'll get the ones he wanted or even none at all, and it gets harder with even more clones. But I don't know of Belax's clones too well to know what kind they are, since clones are usually designed for specific purposes. In my mind André was fighting an inferior version of Belax but not the real thing- or that would be really dissappointing- so it was more of a preparation battle for when they would fight him for real.

You got Belax pinned pretty well. As for the clone question, yes they are imperfect. The clones are mostly fabricated from earth/sand so they're not the most durable things on the planet, but solid enough to take blows as well. Also, each clone retains the same level as speed from the original, but the strength of both the original and the clones is divided by the number of clones, so since Belax has three clones out, they all, including himself, only have 1/4th his original strength, but 100% his speed. His clones are used mostly to aid him defensively by distracting foes and to keep them away from the main battle, or to form a defensive parameter. He can make up to 5 clones at one time, any more and he wouldn't have enough strength to fight well enough for his own means. I think I had the basic info about it on his profile.

But you just gave rise to another problem, a lot of your characters have a lot of different skills and abilities, all of mine are fairly limited with the exception of Dante, but even he has limits. With so many skills, most of which seem to be made up on the fly, make battles lop sided, especially for me since I don't claim to hit all the time and often don't fully evade. As a result my characters get beat down far quicker, if not the only ones to be beaten down.

Ok Ray is a speed type character. All of his powers stem from the elements he uses, which are air/wind, lightning, metal. I do let my characters get hit but I make it hard because in an "actual fight" they would be able to dodge the smaller or simpler of attacks and the more complicated ones are harder to dodge. As limiting his power, I am limiting his power a lot due to his amnesia and when I make him push his limit I make him exhausted afterwards.

Again I was only figuring Andre to fight an inferior form. And some characters are still present yet not really introduced. The body guard for the duchess for example which would be the character I would have brought in, though they'd only intervene if the fights got in the way of their work. And they wouldn't be fighting the clones but rather Belax himself to rid of the problem from the root itself, which he is still in Agrabah right?

Characters from other WS's have a certain time limit to use up their powers before the WS can restrain them. The body guard will already have restraints and would probably be the equal of Belax because of their speed. But they won't be in the way much save for any coincidential encounters.
You also have Rixasha to worry about, and if not her then Serei, because both of them switch jobs in patrolling the worlds, due to abnormal activities going on which will tie into the plot later on. You already know that for all her powers, Rixasha can't fight for long times due to the fact it takes up enough power just to keep herself there out of the real her.

Luckily for you I decided not to use members of the Eraqus Knight Academy, which would usually hold those roles of surveying the worlds or being called upon for assaults, more than those of the Keyblade Academy, the design being rather militarial to some extents. These fights are mainly to introduce the new classes of Keyweilders.

As for other characters.... ._. Which do we start with first? I suppose after this the only characters who won't really be tired will be Zeon and Ive's character.

I do understand the problem, and I apologize, I was wrong to have given such trouble.
Well why don't we try to get through with the problem of this current fight with the clones and the Strelles brothers? Where we can avoid the god-modding and whatnot? As for groups not all characters are loners, most aren't. They work in teams from most of to all the time.
Fret not Faery won't be in LOTD, and the knights were called off from taking action- the king himself made the order- to give the new keywarriors a chance.
But after this there might be a chance more groups and teams will show up so there'll be less chances for one on ones, as I am planning a Team System, which is sort of like a club or guild amomg the students so that they can take on missions from worlds all around, this of which I have told you.

Well they're not in the thousands. The max number of Keyweilders the Academy can hold is 120. And a good percent of keyweilders lose their keyblades through the years, so with the grades there are less and less students. Dividing the up you could probably have 60 "freshmen" about 30 sophomores, 20 juniors and ten seniors. With perhaps only 15- or less- of them going into the Knight Academy. So problrems can and will arise with the students and their keyblades.
And theories and som explaination will come up as to why KH is having a growth in keyweilders, and why tere are new classes all of a sudden.
