Ok, I'm looking for something Brutal, VERY brutal for Raven to use like a signature move. Something that's worthy of a Mortal Kombat fatality.
Anyone got any ideas? All are welcome but I should be more specific.
I'd like it to be Extreeeeeeeeemely painful then a finishing blow.
Or one of those single blows that looks so painful you shudder like ouch, then it sends that chill down your spine.
Or perhaps a combination of strikes.
Not involving the use of a foreign object, it's more personal if it's barehanded.
Raven's got super strength (as shown on the left) so keep that in mind.
As you can see I can think of types but not something specific.
Combinations of these ideas, or something completely new thats not one of these ideas works too.

I'm usually known as the cutesy little model on the MOSh, but I also have a third degree black belt, so I know a few things.  In first degree, I learned a kata with a move called Leap of Death. It's an extension of another move learned earlier called To Miss The Leap. ('moves' are a sequence of techniques strung together for mass effectiveness) It starts with the person throwing a punch, and you step to the outside of the punch. You block with your front hand, then grab the wrist with your other hand, and swing your hammer fist into their kidney. Then you use the same hand and backfist them through the stomach (all while holding their wrist so they can't go anywhere), then bring that hand around and grab the back of their neck. You bring your front foot and stick it between their feet, and pivot, yanking their arm and shoving their head forward while you shoot out your leg. They trip and are forced forward onto the ground so they're lying awkwardly on their stomach, with you holding onto their arm still. You drop and dig your knee into the center of their back, and punch to the back of the head. You grab their head and yank back, and compression elbow to the temple. Then you place the one hand on their opposite shoulder, the other hand around their chin, and yank, snapping the neck. BUT WAIT! You're still not done (you reserve this move for someone you really hate!). With the same hand you used to snap their neck, you swing with all your force and knife-hand them in the temple, jump up and knee them with your other knee, and as you're turning to leave, you kick their head, for good measure. We nicknamed it 'overkill', because after you needlessly snap their neck, it should be done. Basically you're beating a dead horse.  </angel> |

Okay, this would work in real life, but I'm not sure it would in rp. First off, I'm not sure anyone is gonna understand what you're saying if you use this technique. They hit her what? And then they did what with what? Maybe it's just me, but that was what I got when I read that through. I feel like it would translate much better visually than it would if you were to try and capture it in writing.
Additionally, if it's not your character you're fighting, you'd either spread that out across posts to a ridiculous degree, or carry on as you have been (by listing it all and ending with "if it hits.") The second option would seem a lot like powerplaying.
I don't usually like giving advice public, but since I kind of addressed something already, I hope you won't be offended. XD I've read a number of your fight threads, and you tend to say something like "He punched him in the face, and if it hit, he would slam against the wall." Though you've given the other person the option to not be hit, which is good, you've already chosen what the hit will do if it does hit. That might be a little too...controlling for the other person. What you can do instead is say something like "he swung a punch at his face," giving the other person the option to decide if it hits, and just stop. In the next post, the other person will decide if you knock them clear out, miss entirely, have your punch blocked and countered, or barely be grazed by your punch. More interesting and enjoyable that way. If you give your NPCs a reasonable change to fight back, too, it will make your fight threads more exciting...even if Raven is gonna pound them in the end.

The reason I did it how I did it was because it was how I learned. I'm not offended at all I just didn't think about that I'll do that next time and thank you for your advice. However you'll see why they can't fight back soon.

However you'll see why they can't fight back soon. It's fine to keep things secret from other members, but you should get approval from at least one staffer before doing anything big and plotly. Wouldn't it suck to think of this totally awesome idea, and when you finally post it, someone PMs you and tells you that's not how that Gift (or whatever it is) works? Shoot me a PM. :P |
