Battlefield System Testing

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

This thread is for the testing of the battlefield system that I've been working on. For this first run through, it'll just be for the invited members: Col, Rudy, Doc, and Slace.

I'll just be concise. The best way that I can see this working is using the Table function. When switched to white instead of the usual black, a table can appear like this.

SPOILER: Click to show

Row 1 column 1	Row 1 column 2	Row 1 column 3	Row 1 column 4	Row 1 column 5
Row 2 column 1	Row 2 column 2	Row 2 column 3	Row 2 column 4	Row 2 column 5
Row 3 column 1	Row 3 column 2	Row 3 column 3	Row 3 column 4	Row 3 column 5
Row 4 column 1	Row 4 column 2	Row 4 column 3	Row 4 column 4	Row 4 column 5
Row 5 column 1	Row 5 column 2	Row 5 column 3	Row 5 column 4	Row 5 column 5

So the mechanics of this are simple. Each column represents a different letter A-E. Each row a number 1-5. The top left box is A1, the one below that is A2, etc. etc. Each of the invited members will start in opposite corners. A1, E1, A5, and E5. You may either use one of your characters scaled to Class 1, or simply whip up a new character. Just the stats/type/powers/skills would be necessary. Bare minimum stuff for a combat test.

Inside each of those boxes is another identical, but not posted, grid. So each space on the big 5x5 grid has a smaller 5x5 grid inside it. The length of those smaller grid squares is 100 yards x 100 yards (we'll work on tweaking the numbers as necessary) So, if my math comes out correctly, you all are starting about half a mile from the closest opponents. This is when stamina is going to have a huge impact. If you try to run the whole half mile in one go, at 1000 speed, you're going to be unable to move as soon as you meet your opponent. Not to mention, ES plays a huge role. If you have none, you don't know where your enemy is, but if you have a lot, you can know intricacies about them before they have even arrived.

For simplicity's sake, let's consider each tile to be uniform in terrain. So all of A1 has the same terrain, and while it may not match A2, each of the small boxes are the same. I guess I should name the little boxes. It will be labeled as A1a1 for the very top left small box. A1e5 for the bottom right small box of the top left big box. If I'm not being clear, let me know and I'll post tables as examples.

So for the first test, I just want a 2v2 fight. The players in opposite corners will be teammates (A1 and E5 vs A5 and E1)

At the end of your post, you should simply state the small box you started in and the small box you are headed for. As proctor, I will try to do all the speed math to see if and when you'd be ambushed, or if your ambush was successful and so on and so forth.

Because this would be boring and not very war like if it is just a 2v2, I'd like for each of you to bring along 1-3 subordinates. If you pick 1 subordinate, they will be Rank 3 Class 2, no Bankai no Segunda. If you pick 2 subordinates, they will be Rank 2 class 3, and if you pick 3 subordinates, they will be Rank 2 class 4. You get to spread 10 non-release techniques between them.

Let's have some fun, now, shall we? Here's the starting landscape. Feel free to, within reason, attempt to use the landscape to your advantage, or simply blast enough of it away to change the terrain.

((so who starts?))

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

Everyone should post their chosen starting point and their character build/stats/subordinates, of course. First come, first serve on location.

[Amagai Kuchiki]

(OOC: Well, since no one else is doing the first post, I will. Not that it matters this post, but it'd be ideal if we got a ruling on the specifics of what our base characters get for the purpose of this fight (Are we Rank 2/3/4? Do we have access to Bankai if we don't normally, are we maxed out on SKP, etc.) But without further ado...)

Any member of the Gotei 13, and most other individuals, were well aware that Squad 3 was the Expedition Squad. First into the battlefield, and frequently the last ones out. They were the cursed squad, and being a seated officer, especially a  Captain or Vice Captain, decreased your life expectancy considerably. And yet Takehiko had joined it anyway, because someone had to. Someone had to be the person willing to tread dangerous waters, explore barren wastelands, and climb high mountains to spot the enemies of Soul Society who were walking in the shadows of them. He joined Squad 3 because It Was The Right Thing To Do, a reason that had plagued him since then. And then of course Sozen had effectively told him that he was serving the Kuchiki well by being a member of the Squad, so he lost the ability and will to back out.

His position as Vice Captain of Squad 3 was why he found himself deployed to a mountain in the middle of nowhere, almost alone. He wasn't totally alone, and actually had with him the Fourth Seat of Squad 3, a thin man by the name of Naoki Himaru.  Takehiko didn't usually bring backup with him on missions, but this one called for particular discretion, which Naoki excelled at. Naoki had originally transferred from Squad 2, as he wasn't entirely fond of his status, and figured that he would try his luck in the cursed squad. He had risen quickly, but Takehiko was asked to keep an eye on him, and make sure that he would reach his full potential in a way that benefitted the Squad as a whole, rather than just himself. Naoki seemed to take the whole situation quite well, and was polite in his dealings with Takehiko.

At the moment, the details of the situation hadn't unveiled themselves. Takehiko's own energy sensory capabilities alerted him that there were 3 other groups of entities, two of them each a half mile away, one towards the north in the foresty area, and the other to the west in a series of sand dunes.  North west of them, another half a mile off, the energy signatures were clearly three Shinigamis, one of them with a familiar energy signature. Takehiko was pleasantly surprised to realize that Kaen, another Vice Captain of some degree of prestige, was deployed in the same area. "Alright, we need to get to him as quickly and as quietly as possible. " Takehiko ordered. "Unfortunately, once we descend these mountains, we're out in the open for about 500 yards before we reach the forest and can hunker down. Given the power that's rolling off of our foes, I'm not sure that showing ourselves is a good idea." Their reiatsu stank of Las Noches. Arrancar. Takehiko hated Arrancar. "So until we know for certain, let's play it safe. We'll make our way to the edge of the mountains, and reevaluate from there. With any luck, our foes will make the first move.

(OOC:The two make their way from E5e5 to E5a1, before crouching down and hiding as best as possible. Naoki uses Bakudo #26 with an incantation, rendering the duo undetectable except by someone with a 644 ES or greater, although with a 64 ES or greater you can sense that something is wrong in a general sense, not in a specific locational sense.)

As I mentioned in chat - Rank 3, no Bankai/Segunda if you don't already have it, max SP and max SKP. Your subordinate(s) can also have max things. The purpose is to test the system, not necessarily win

[Marcelius]

(OoC: Marc will be joined by three subordinates, all Class 4. It can be assumed they are ranked members of Exequias...as accompanying Fraccion from other Espada makes less than no sense. They tag along friends will be: Peneloppi, Robbin, Dragguun.)

Fresh air. Now there was a pleasure frequently denied. In the bowels of Las Noches, air was stale and often bloodied. In the Sands, it was dry and frequently reeked of death. For all her beauties, natural and structural, Hueco Mundo was still devoid of fresh air. Tasting such sweetness was almost enough to lift his spirits. Make him forget the troubling reasons for his presence in the human's world. No, this was not a simple field trip. Rather, it was a mission in the field. In his case, quite literally. All around the ancient man there spread rolling hills of tall grass and wild flowers. Their green stems billowing in a most comforting breeze. Where he stood felt like heaven. The world melting away all around.

Beneath his feet, the fibers of the plant life crumbled and crinkled. The Arrancar had gone so far to get cozy, that he removed his footwear. With each passing moment, his toes curled and opened up again. Grabbing at the bases of the flora. How long had it been now, since he enjoyed such sensation? How long since his last day in the fields and sun? The Hollow could not recall. Years flew by like days for him in his great age, and all of them equally blurred by shadows. All of his history haunted by the darkness of his breed, and the guilt of his deeds. It was upsetting that he could not recall a simpler time, without stress or conflict. Trying to create such a time for himself now, was going well enough so far. The satisfaction each breath gave him, audibly clear. Deep, relieving breathes filling his lungs. "Marc, we need to go." A much younger voice rang out. Coming from behind the codger, from one of three lingering souls.

The first, the one who spoke, was boy of modest height and size. Thin and slim, with light skin to complete the malnourished motif. A suitable hue of brunette colored his hair; which he kept short around the ears and neck. A gelled and stylish cut, complete with a curl in the front. This young man was attractive enough; which did not help ego. Playing subordinate seemed unnatural for this one. Beside him was someone who was ready to follow. A shorter body, with a bit more weight on the bones. A baggier version of the standard uniform was at work here. Trying to conceal the features of the flesh beneath. A girl, posing rather meek and withdrawn. Hands tucked into her crossed arms, and head drooping low.

Long hair of rich black that was pulled up in the back, but not the front. No, the bangs were left to drop and hide much of her forehead and eyes; while the sides framed her full cheeks. Pretty or not, this one worked to hide her looks. Finally, beside her was a far bigger fellow. This one was an athlete, standing taller and broader than the other two. Topping a body of naturally dark skin, was a thick head of curls. They were dyed a most fluorescent green. Possibly lime. This one stood lazily, with poor posture or form. An irony, not much more different from the mannerisms of a bear. Deceptive, and full of power. A killer for sure. "We'll be spotted eventually...standing out in the open like this.", now there was a sense of perturbed in the context. Shame it was not enough to rouse the elder. Especially since it was so well founded in logic. The pack of them were quite an easy sight to make out. The only things rising above a foot and a half in height, for miles.

Being members of Exequias, those travelling with the Fraccion must have been quite discouraged by the openness of their position. After all, there was no single shadow in sight. "Hmmm. Ah, one last sigh to savor the moment with. Sadly, this last one was tuned more towards exhaustion. Given their mission, and their recent arrival, it is likely that his fatigue was not physical. Instead, it was a tiredness of the "heart". Today was to be a bloody day. The expectations; a more than choice encounter with some of the deadliest Hollows know to their kind. Everything about the prospective evening tingling with the overture of "hellish carnage". There would be war this evening, and it would cost the lives of too many souls. After all, no war is completely free of casualties. And the eminent destruction to which this music progressed, could not be faced alone. Maestro was not enough to complete this assignment. It would take an entire supporting group of performers. Individuals with the right skills and experience. Capable spirits which Las Noches needed,and should not want to go without. Three to be exact. Each chosen by the pseudo leader for only one feature. "We'll hav'ta leave 'im if he holds up any longer...that, or get kill't ourselves. Heheh." Selfishness.

Selfishness, enough that they would not risk their lives. Not for anything. Not Las Noches. Not Marcelius. Not each other. No one. Normally, such a feature was the last that Marc would want to hear. In a friend or otherwise. Such a motivation causes the soul to grate the ears. Like the harshness of metal grinding metal. This time; however, the stakes were different. The old Fraccion was having to work with his fellow Arrancar, on an assignment most displeasing. One which took them to the mortal plain, and guaranteed they would encounter enemies. Their intended purpose...bait what enemies they could, and trap them. Something big was in the works, all of them were aware. Something which required a few more prisoners than say, the average hostage negotiation.

Unfortunately, the plan was well above their heads. Schemes being worked at the highest levels, that would not see the light of day for quite some time. With the acceptance of the task, they knew they would not be informed more than was necessary. They knew there was no reason to ask or bother with this detail, as it would not help. That was the professionalism that was exhibited by the Exequias. One of the few qualities that Marcelius admired about their shady division. What he found less of a treat, was the way that professionalism made them impatient. Taking from them, the ability to simply breathe. "Huh, either way I get some peace and quiet.", the sarcasm was both filling and glaze with that one. The tall fellow had yet to budge, despite the antsy behaviors. Rather, their attempts at hurrying him made him feel heavy and slower. More so than usual. Now, standing here was all he wanted to do. Boy, spite could be fun from time to time.

"I say...one more time. Let us recount the plan again." The groans which followed were quite obnoxious, a unanimous show of frustration. The sound was enough to paint a gleaning smirk on his wrinkled face. "Firs..." "We don nee'ta...", Dragguun felt it should be said. "First...", the Fraccion interrupted right back. The authority starting to show. With Dragg silenced, a quick voice sought to hurry the suffering along. "We locate cover, an ideal killzone. Then we draw them out. Letting them come to find us." Robbin, a slightly colder youth. Though he was confident in looks and words, he was not the leader type.

The young man never spared harshness in his opinions, but kept them until asked. This made him seem isolated to most, and cruel to those closer. Chosen for his quick wit, and decisiveness. It was on him that much of this mission would rely. As for now, his response needed a retort. It received a momentary pause, as if the details were being considered. "Next...", apparently it was acceptable. Considering it was the fourth encore, it should be. "We distract, then attack. I mean really stick it to 'em, sideways. We bust one up real good, then back off." Dragguun, fast and with sharp senses. Though he plays the brute, this one was quite the scoundrel. Dirty tricks and cheap shots were just a sample of his stacked deck of talent. Though such a knife-in-the-back was dangerous to enlist, Marc knew he was perfect for their goals. To this one's answer, there was a solemn nod. "And then...".

The senior turned, dark blue eyes falling on the silence that held the greatest responsibility of all. "I finish it." The words coming as a mumble, as if they were embarrassing to say. Perhaps it was not the word's meanings, but the words themselves. Indeed, Peneloppi was not a fan of talking. Much preferring to sit silently in the back, a wallflower plucked from her sanctuary. This one was a necessary addition to the mission...but the one soul the Fraccion grieved most to risk. Far more timid than her counterparts, she seemed far more innocent than them. Marcelius believed her appearances, and her thoughts of such, were what kept her reserved. "Believe" being a perfect substitute for knew.

Self assurance aside, she was vital for the plan. Both of them would have to find comfort with her involvement. [ffcc00]"Mmm, good. Sounds like we have it."[/color] Rolling his shoulders, letting them release a loud pop. "Nothing left, but to see it through....off we go, then." Within the first few steps, the two boys had outpaced their aged shepherd. Each of them had expected a much quicker pace for the march ahead, and were stunned to find themselves alone. They turned back to see that the elder was moving like a turtle through the reeds. Trailing behind him obediently, the chubby "caterpillar". Robbin fought back a groan; while Dragg..."Fucken hate you, old man..."...did not. In time, they would progress. Out to find their ideal location. Eventually. Maybe. Who could say.

(OoC: Starting in E1e1; Marcelius and his roaming gang of rapscallions will be progressing towards D2e1. This post; however, they will only reach E1d2. Meaning they travelled only 100 yards, or so. The table shall illuminate! Gold represents the location of Marc's group. Until they split up. At which point, the colors used for their speech and names will identify each individuals location.)

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

Oh, if it wasn't obvious, consider yourselves to be walking out of a Senkaimon/Garganta into the battlefield. The current posts look good, but that is how you guys get to the battlefield in case you were wondering

[Kaen Youji]

A team of Vice Captains once again. Although Squad Seven was considered the division of internal affairs, Kaen Youji was also largely considered to be one of the strongest Vice Captains in Soul Society, with only Irudai standing as a possible contender to be stronger than him. So he got called in today to work alongside Takehiko. Well, that was fine. It worked for him. It'd interrupted his nap, but it still worked for him. Kaen arrived from the Senkaimon and scanned the battleground. Two individuals stood at his back-- one, a man with long, black hair, that draped past his shoulders. Standing over six feet in height, his body was marked with scars. Amber eyes gleamed out from under the longer hair that draped in front of his face. His name was Karel. The other was a young woman, with similarly long black hair, and amber eyes. However, contrary to Kaen's other companion, she was of relatively slight build, and not especially tall either. A katana rested on her hip. Both had extremely focused eyes. Devoted to the task at hand. Her name was Misora.

A far cry from their Vice Captain who carried himself with the ease of someone who felt nothing could go wrong. Kaen's body posture was relaxed. Easy. Casual. His face light and, one might even say, amused looking. "So. Just a regular patrol mission~ Investigating some weird fluctuations in reiatsu here, right?" Kaen told his team. Karel nodded. "We should break up. Misora and I will move as one unit, and you the other, Vice Captain?" Kaen looked at Karel and nodded. "Stay within sight of each other though." He said, and the two began to split ways, scanning the grounds. There was nothing much but a whole lot of dirt, which Kaen began to follow, until he came to grasslands. Beyond him, he saw that Karel and Misora had also reached the grasslands, albeit a different section. They were small in the distance, but Kaen could see them. Thus far he didn't see any signs of activity....

Karel and Misora checked their surroundings dutifully. They were beginning to approach a forest, though it was still a long ways off. A forest. A good place for an ambush. The two met gaze, simultaneously agreeing on this fact without speaking. Both drew their Zanpakuto, just to be safe. Their ability to sense reiatsu was not great, but it was enough to know this place was dangerous. Fortunately. They were somewhat bolstered by the fact they had their Vice Captain with them. With him at their sides they felt invincible. They continued their advance towards the forest, marking their Vice Captain's position.
