Welcome to the summer of 2017 slaughter thread! This one is going to be a civil war of the forums - there is no villain. We're going to make this the best large slaughter thread yet - which means high-quality posts and lots of rules. The theme is
order vs chaos. One faction wants to put laws in place to regulate heroes and villains - the other faction wants freedom. Both sides can have heroes and villains on them. The focus is in a KR-ish universe, which means fantasy magic and fantasy species and stuff. Different characters can use different magic systems and stuff, but try to keep the focus on fantasy.
1. No godmodding! Every character should have a shot at doing something in a fight, and no single forumer gets to completely outmatch everyone else. Power levels should be relatively even, unless there's some good plot-driven reason that this would change.
2. The power level is high - we want epic battles and epic posts, and that means your character should have cool, flashy powers. Look at
Zuko vs Azula as just one example of balanced power levels that would be good for this thread.
3. Check out
this topic, page 12 onwards, as a good example of good writing - especially Overlord's posts. We want epic writing with good grammar - so a minimum word count of 200 words per post will be enforced. Use correct grammar and paragraphs - use the
hemmingway app to correct your grammar and spelling if you're unsure. Write as well as you can; promote an atmosphere of drama and action, don't just state "I swing my sword at Zonoro." If you can't adhere to these standards,
do not sign up.
4. A big slaughter thread can get confusing - there will be a channel on the discord for people to state what they plan to do, sort out misunderstandings, and so on. The main thread will be for the cool posts and fights! You must join the discord channel to be part of the slaughter thread.
5. If you character is a principled lawmage who fights with magic chains, then they would probably be on the side of order - if your character is a demon who eats babies for fun, they should be on the side of chaos. Stay in character! Every character should be on a side - don't be neutral just because you think it would be cool.
Sign up in this thread if you want to make the commitment to making good posts and contributing to the epic war! The real thread will go into more detail on the setting, but introduce your character here, and what side you think they should be on.
My own character is Zonoro, which I used in the thread I linked in rule 3. I'm a powerful mage who fights with a sword and conjured weapons, can turn into a phoenix, and can do all kinds of magic with fire and Charter Marks, a magic system from Garth Nix's books. I will fight on the side of Chaos.

I am entering two characters and will begin by saying they both have reasonably Chaotic powers and thus will side with Chaos, however as they are both fighting for what they believe is right, if there is an excess of Chaos fighters then I am willing to fight for Order instead. tl;dr: Chaos, but ill fight for order if I have to.
Cyndar is soon to make his appearance in 'The Four Elementals' which will be a more detailed, but not exhaustive showcase of his abilities. The raging, wrathful fires of two suns contained within the restraints of a calm, collected young Quarter-Elf,the Pyromaster can burn away enemies with intense flames, searing heat and blinding light. Ironically he also has Phoenix-based powers and when he's posting a couple days in the Elementals you'll have an in depth description of his appearance.
Praeno, more infamously known as The Nameclaimer, has spent the best part of two decades doing everything. He is known throughout many realms and is announced simply as 'The Nameclaimer' by heralds as his titles are too numerous for convenience. He has incredibly potent and diverse magic, including teleportation/portals, shields and energy throwing, while also being able to leech and drain mages he chooses, however he has only a small bank of internal energy to draw from, managed by storing energy within his large shield. He is an outcast Twilight Elf with melanism, retaining light purple hair that contrasts his incredibly dark skin. He can wield any number of weapons in addition to high magic, but of course only as long as his magical reserves last. He wears complex, comfortable armour created and designed by himself and some of the best designers and armourers in the known world, wielding an array of artefacts claimed and found upon his many adventures. (Including as many Ex Machinas as I need)
Cyn and Praeno have been together for many years and survived trauma both physical and telepathic together. They formed a Sacred Band, joining the Band Band of Thebiquentil, an elite group of married warrior couples, granting them a wealth of training and experience leagues beyond that which would be expected from their few years, and have learned how to compliment each other's magics and abilities.
(If these guys die horribly I reserve the right to call upon any of the other three elementals)

I'll make this short.
My character will be Xandre, a small yet skilled and tactical marksman. His weapon of choice is a crossbow imbued with magical properties (further explained once the thread begins), capable of transforming into two small blades in close combat. He wears a pair of sleek purple goggles that can zoom up to two miles. Xandre's alignment will be chaos, primarily because he feels laws inhibit him from his personal missions.

my 2 charachters are of engineering and magic.
lets start with the simpler one
IRA:
type:magic
he can give charachters
motivational anger spell-gives a damage boost for your team for all members of your team and resistance to whatever they are bing attacked with. so they have the will to live!!!! to fight!!! to SURVIVE!!!!
creative anger-motivates more creativity for builder type charachters by making them do seemingly impossible things possible. so people cant say "well that didnt make sense" in the story. for example just think mcgiver or clutch powers did it.
battle hymn:boosts morale of your team(dmamage/effect boost) and can revive 1 dead charachter of your team while doing so. this way one can get sweet revenge while listening to powerful music
special spells:
seed of resentment-creates disunity from the other team meaning they all have weakened attacks. Now the story will be more interesting if there is in figthing on the other team! for what reasons? who knows.... that is completely up to what ever ira feels like at the moment
collective rage-once your entire team have been enragd long enough evidently through the story, they can summon a ghost of rage that will ravage the enemy in disgustingly inhumane ways... and based on how your team feels or actions they have done in the past. for example if your tream mate pits the enemy in the head, the enemy will be killed by this entity be being be headed or having their head crushed
nova the non sane machinist:
Your typical insane scientist except he is a wepaons engineer
regular attacks:
dragon breath rocket bombardment:gives each member of your team 5 rockets to eat. ouch. dont worry. they can try to out run it before it reaches them. it will be fun to watch them try though.
mechastator: gets near by mechas and combines them to be like the devastator from transformers. you already know the fuckery that you are in for when you hear "devastator from transformers", so i dont need to explain any further.
intentional sinkhole:gets charachters stuck in a deep hole. maybe it needs help getting out with allies that can fly? they better get there fast or they will be stranded there and die eventually. Haha. ha. ha
Passive abilities:
unlimited materiels-nova gets unlimited materiels to build what ever he wants to
Specialty move:
master engineer- he can build whatever machine he likes to, one it machine guns, battle ships, missles, cannons,submarines, radio active stiff mechas, but they wont be overpowered since he is not sane enough to make them that broken

My character will be Sonata, an Elven Chantress of fairly high ranking (like a religious bard). She has immense magical power but according to the laws of her ethos she can't use it to directly cause harm - so she bends that rule in every way imaginable. She channels her power through song, which she then usually uses as a telekinetic force that follows her exact command, i.e. throwing large rocks, creating a cluster of earth that protects her, etc. She also uses some degree of healing and defensive magic but requires her full concentration to maintain the telekinetic aura so she can't do both. She also uses archaic English pronouns because why not.
She has also enchanted a suit of plate armour - an Adlo, as she calls it - that autonomously protects her from perceived threats. She does not wear it but it follows her around and moves as if someone were wearing it. The nature of the enchantments give it highly enhanced strength, durability, and speed, and she can also give it direct commands, the fact that it has no body inside allows it to do some fancy detachment attacks in combination with Sonata's telekinesis.
As a child she was left on the steps of a church (because I'm way too lazy to think of a non-mysterious origin), and was indoctrinated into their beliefs, so naturally she is on the side of Order. Her augmented magic comes from a direct link with Elynie, and if she ever harms someone directly with it she'll instantly revert to a much less powerful state.

Btw: Will the discord chat area be a subsection of the Ironhide one or a new channel?
My character is Skalador, a vampiric mage. I would prefer to be on the side of chaos, but I will take order without hesitation ('cause everyone is jumping at chaos). Based on which side I am on, my character backstory is a bit different.
Order: At young age, Skalador's parents died and he was adopted by humans. They brainwashed him into their morale code and convinced him to be a government officer. He serves as a powerful battle medic for the humans under King Denas.
Chaos: When he was young, Skalador's parents upset him and he murdered them. Vasile noticed the mage and adopted him. He served as the lead doctor for his empire, before getting bored and leaving to be on his own, feasting on unprepared villages.
Edit: I should probably be on the side of chaos just because Minuet is also a largely supportive character and is on order.
Skalador is a battle medic mage, with powerful healing capabilities. He can suck on blood, his own or another's, and consume it to empower his attacks. He can create a spell with the blood that heals allies or himself. Skalador can also sacrifice blood to boost his allies speed, strength, etc. He can shape shift into a bat or into a human at will, though in bat form he cannot fight unless large enough, but can fly and if he is large enough, carry others. He can create dread circles (magical Satan circles btw), shields, walls, and weapons. The more blood he consumes (but not the amount in his body), the more powerful he and his spells become, his strength and speed, the size and danger of his dread circles, the size and strength of his bat, etc.

Rubick the Grand Magus
The Grand Magus of Arcania, Rubick has large dark blue flowing robes with golden lining. He bears a staff with a light blue diamond shaped gem that shines with arcane magic, by his side an arcane map hangs that shows him the world and allows him to easily venture anywhere he wishes. He also has a leather pouch with potions that allow him to replenish a small amount of his magic powers and some that heal him. He himself is an old man looking in his 60s however he is 1000 years old. He has bad hearing and good eyesight.
His one true goal in life is to find a way to bring back his long lost apprentice. Sides with order as he believes he can be the one in charge.
Has a grand reservoir of magic inside of him however it only replenishes at exactly midnight. He has the ability to bend this magic to use spells based on his environment, e.g: if there is water near him he has the ability to summon a tide of water.
He also has the ability to bend the spells of his enemies to work or function differently.

"LET'S DO THIS, BITCHEEEEZZ--Oww, fuck!" Juice yells as she is suddenly hit in the face by Malfurion, her tactical adviser. "What the hell, Malfy?"
"Be quiet, fool!" Malfy retorts. "The mission hasn't even started yet. You don't even know what you're going to do yet."
"Well, then why else am I here?"
"Because," the red-haid continues. "This is a new slaughter thread. New ground. We're retconning all your abilities and giving you new ones befitting the theme."
"Excellent!" the energetic brunette replies. "Wait, what's red corn?"
"Retcon, fool. You're losing all your old abilities in favor of new ones. It'll help you fit in the new slaughter thread. I've listed them here for you to see."
Malfurion then brings out a thin folder for Juice to look at, containing all her new capabilities. She marvels over these new advancements--learning that she will be entering the field as a powerful Archon, one of the most potent races in the land of Linirea that mixes the speed and intellect of the Elves with the brute force of the Dwarves. She will also be entering the field with elite Archonin armor, resembling that of Ancient Greek soldiers but made from standard Superhuman metals and laced with Superhuman enhancements. She will still have access to her signature arm gauntlets as her primary fighting weapon, but she has also been given a standard issue Archon pattern sword and shield, resembling that of ancient Spartan warriors.
She continues glossing over the folder when she sees a portion called "Rage Enhancement."
"What does this do, Malfy?" She asks her adviser.
"It's your new ability," the redhead replies. "We've implanted you with modifications suited to your fighting style. You'll be growing stronger, faster, the more you get injured. You'll find that the heavier the beating you receive, the more enhanced your body will become."
"Oh... That's... Cool, I guess, but, wouldn't that imply I'd need to get beat up first?"
"I know, right?" Malfy rubs her hands together and smirks mischievously. "That's the best part."
Juice groans, then sets the folder down. "So who's my partner?"
"She's being briefed elsewhere. As usual protocol, the real Juice Box plucked someone she knows in real life and is copy-pasting them to this slaughter thread to fight for you. Now off you go, the thread should start soon, and she's tired and doesn't want to keep typing."

My Character is going to be Dimanti, an agile Mage mostly residing in caves to lure in adventurers with his Diamonds to kill them for life force. Early on he was found resting in a cave and trapped in a cage, when awoken, he tried to escape as fast and silent as possible, failing, but the capturer's saw this as great scout potential. Dimanti is going to side with Chaos as he still kills mostly anything in sight for extended life. (Is this a good post)

My character is part of order. He is a wizard albeit a strange one as his magic is very specialised and considered a disgrace to wizardry. Proficient with many martial arts and an array of magic he kills his foes not with a flashy bolt of lightning but with things that are more subtle. Like slowing down time for himself walking forwards and delivering a tae chiang and crushing his opponents ribs. He carries an arsenal of hidden weapons among his clothing of which a notable example is a ring on his left hand which is barbed and releases a fast acting neurotoxin when turned. The mechanics of the ring are in the discord. He goes by the name Kiritsugu and he is the hero that people need.

My character is Gkaharon, The Necromancer. He have lost his personality, as the Dark have consumed him completely from within, and he reflects the personality of other people. Darkness slowly consumes his own body, turning him into a shadow, worst nightmare that even Magic Wielders fears. He uses a staff made from Tainted Wood, which delivers a breath of death.
With no personality, He is being unpredictable, as he only reflects it when someone talks to him.
His dark magic is incomparable to others of his kind. He dines on his enemies, using Death Coils, Cursing his enemies, Shadowflaming his enemies in pure fire of darkness. He makes enemies tremble before him, as his own skeleton warriors, ghouls and shadow hounds are upon them. He has Death Knights as his own guards, keeping him safe from magic attacks, as they cast a Dark Shield, which protects against magic. It can be destroyed only by magic, weapons can't dissipate it.
As being one with the darkness, he can transform itself into a shadow, if he wills it. It will protect him from physical attacks, but magic attacks will take a pounding at him.
His own shadow, is like lighthing, as he can appear in several places at once, totally confusing the target.
He is on Chaos side, as you would expect. He already lost himself, so that would be left him destroy everything in it's path. If there's anything left.

Mooncrest Silvertalon is a giant owl who stands at about 20 feet at full height with a wingspan of about 45 feet. He is of a fantastical species of owl, most of whose characteristics have been taken from various real owl species and altered at my discretion. He has bluish white feathers on his crest, and silvery-blue feathers (also, these are long feathers) covering the rest of his body. He is a horn-crested owl with a wide beak; the irises of his eyes are glowing pale white mixed with silvery-blue. Mooncrest has abnormally massive talons which are a spectacular shining silver color. He is a warrior owl who wears armor plates on the top of his wings and a chestplate over his main body area. He also wears a helmet which allows his "horns" to stick out of openings on it; it has a bright blue sapphire embedded in the front of it. The armor is silver with blue swirling designs in it.
Mooncrest draws power from lunar light, which enhances his strength and power. After absorbing moonlight, his flight becomes faster and his talons can strike in a lightning fast and precisely lethal manner. His armor also absorbs moonlight, allowing it to be much stronger than most other forms of physical and magical protection (it protects from both). The sapphire in his helmet can magically transform into various weapons for Silvertalon's use when it has stored enough moonlight. These weapons can pierce many forms of protection, both magical and physical.
(Mooncrest will likely also have other abilities that I haven't fully decided on yet.)
Mooncrest Silvertalon will fight for Order.
