Alright so, in sight that this is probably the hardest match Etla will have (that she might win, anyway), here's a defensive post for her.

First of all, for those of you who don't know Etla, she's a Rainborn. This means she has a dimensional storage available, as well as the ability to gain powers from objects inserted in her chest cavity, and the ability to increase her powers and statistics indefinitely depending on her willpower.

Regarding standard gear, all she possesses is a sword called Cyclone and an armor. Neither displays any particular properties (save for any that might be granted by her Core); she uses them out of preference rather than convenience.

Speaking of the sword, she is very skilled with it, as it is her weapon of preference and she has extensive combat experience from sparring with her siblings in the Skyworld, from her additional battles since leaving the Skyworld, and from a special kind of training that will be detailed further ahead.

Now then, the important thing here would be her Cores. Etla has a handful of Cores available, but the only one that could possibly contend with Naja is the Sentry Core, so named because it consists of a sample of the Sentry Serum given to Etla by Xander and Naja during her visit to Viltium. Incidentally, this is the same Sentry Serum that gave Naja her powers. This puts her on even footing with Naja, as the two are empowered by the very same thing.

As far as feats go, Etla doesn't have that many, but there are a few important ones that I'll cite. First off, there is the Thor battle that she participated in during the Secret Wars arc. In the post, we see Etla fighting a Battleworld Thor and defeating him in the end. Now, this doesn't mean much, since Battleworld Thors apparently have variable power levels and are never very strong. Defeating Thor, thus, isn't a very impressive feat, but there are two important things to note here. The first is that this is the first post where Etla discovers how to switch Cores by willing it, rather than by manually pulling out one and putting in another; now, she is able to do so instantly. The second thing to note is that, towards the end of the post, Etla displays the ability to, via her Will Empowerment, multiply the strength of her Star Core in order to break Thor's Mjolnir and obliterate him (rather intuitively, the Star Core grants Star-level destructive power, and as stated in this post, she used the power of 'a dozen burning suns', which would imply that she increased her powers twelvefold).

Later during the Secret Wars arc, she gains the power of the Sentry Serum after meeting Xander (still called Alex during that time) and Naja on Viltium and agreeing to try out the Serum. This post shows her trying out the Sentry Core for the first time, and accidentally blowing up a mountain from afar.

After the Secret Wars arc, instead of being sent back to Earth, Etla winds up in an abandoned ice planet and meets a peculiar master, the Elder World-Dragon Kazayannú. She spends some time training with him until, in this post, he claims to grow bored of training Etla, and instead decides to instill a 'teeny tiny fraction' of his combat experience into her, using his psionic powers to do so. The 'teeny tiny fraction' of a being that has lived for trillions of years likely amounts to upwards of thousands of years of combat experience, all of them suddenly fed into Etla's mind.

And while this is probably not such a great feat considering everything else (though admittedly the training isn't a feat), I'll throw it in for good measure: Etla also soloed Rulk with her Star Core during the first Civil War arc.

Race name:Nik'drazil

Race standard/average appearance: Have an appearance of Average Humans, with patches of scales across their body, with the pasterns of such patches varying between individuals. They also have horn protrusions on the side of their head, as well as a dragon-like tail. Some examples include This, This, and This.

Race Specific abilities: Have and naturally high strength, and are born with an natural skill with Magic.

Homeworld name:Drazil (Nik'Drazil Empire), Nomads Fleet (Nomads)

Lore:Until the first colonization efforts in their Solar System, the History of the Nik'Drazil was mostly similar to that of Humanity, with notable connections to several aspects of human history, such as the rise and fall of several great Empires. Using a mixture of Magic and Technology, the Nik'Drazil managed to Colonize several of the planets of their solar system, of which the most powerful of Colonial Powers created an Empire spanning the Solar System. Their Colonization efforts led to them meeting several less advanced races, followed by the empire forcing them under it's banner. Eventually the exploration and subsequent colonization of several neighbouring systems, the Empire met several other Solar Empires.

While the Empire itself adopted a policy of seclusion, ignoring the other empires in the Galaxy and keeping to itself unless they are truly at risk or if an issue arises in their sphere of influence, a large splinter faction left the safety of home and created a Nomadic fleet to travel away from the empire to make a new home away among the stars. The Empire consider the Nomads a rebel faction, and the Nomads reject the rule of the Empire.

Just going to post this for now, I'll probably do more work on it, but for now it should be fine.

FinBowl commentary Part 3:

Hannah and Masami

Masami: Well that was a couple of exciting rounds.

Hannah: That's right Foxy! We got all sorts of crazy match ups.

Masami: I really wish you wouldn't call me "Foxy"...

Hannah: To bad girlfriend. You're Foxy now.

Masami: *SIgh* Well anyway. We started this round rough with Claudia vs Nakasan. The fourth time the Hulk had fought a Saiyan.

Hannah: And the third time she fought one who hadn't cheated on her.

Masami: The Saiyan put up an admirable defense before being pummeled into paste. Claudia's regeneration served her well this round, and her stamina kept her in the fight despite the waning saiyan.

Hannah: Next we had Max fight another contestant with his energy draining abilities. Alistairs dark powers had him in the fight longer than Shiveron, but ultimately he had no real response to Maxes vampire Stichk.

Masami: Next we had Loss vs DeeDee. The fight which proved that magic is real and... perhaps not the best defense against a Red Lantern.

Hannah: That one was messy...

Masami: That it was.

Hannah: In related news. Saibamen are not good at combating people with the same powers as Darkseid.

Masami: So very true. And you'd be surprised how much those little guys bleed.

Hannah: Next up we had Elena vs Frank. The match which lost us our "Stormlight" beer sponsor.

Masami: In Satera vs Attiala... Darn now I'm doing it.

Hannah: Lets just call her Hypernova.

Masami: Right. Well she lost to Satera, in one of the first real surprises of the round. Both Galactic class, most predictions had Novahyper...

Hannah: Hypernova.

Masami: ... Had Hypernova winning the match.

Hannah: Next we had Shatterstar vs Jylt. A rather fun match, both high strength opponents. However the Match went to Shatterstar.

Masami; Next we had Lisa vs Katie. Where the latter caused an electrical failure in the former. Then the match ended.

Hannah: It sucked.

Masami: That it did. Sucked hard.

Hannah: The Queen of the Parahumans went up against Reclaimer, which was an all round challenging bout with death himself. However the Reclaimer claimed another soul today.

Masami: Thats surprisingly poetic Hannah.

Hannah: Also it was super awesome violent!

Masami: Should have know that wouldn't have lasted... anyway the Queen of Slime went up against the King of Preatoria and was beaten. Her slimey phisology could only keep her alive for so long as she was fighting him. And she struggled to keep up with Xander in the speed department despite her size.

Hannah: Valancy and Etla went head to head, literally. There was a headbut to the fight. That's how it ended! It was pretty sweet!

Masami: Itaku went up against Naja, only to meet a similar fate to Valancy. Except without the headbutting. This time it was a punch to the gut that ended things, Naja's regen giving her the edge she needed.

Hannah: Another surprise was the Valka vs Zen Buu fight, which ended with the pink slime being vanquished. Not a good tournament for slime people...

Masami: Frost went up against Kazuko, his Arcosian power allowing him to beat Kazuko soundly.

Hannah: Manifest beat Necromancer, and while a grown man beating a little kid might not seem like a upset, this grown kid has a lot of big friends. Planet and worldragon big. Still, Manifest took the cake.

Masami: Finally we had Julie vs Daud, with the regenerator being defeated by the white lanterns white ring.

Hannah: And that was the second round, join us next time for the third round of the FINBOWL!

[The Templar High Council]

Name/Alias: Leslie Strauss

Gender: Female

Age: 14

Species: Mutant

Backstory: Once upon a time, there was a young girl name Leslie Strauss. She was born in Denver, Colorado to two kind and loving parents named Lisa and Bryan Strauss. And everything was great, until her mother died in a car accident and Leslie was the only survivor of the two-car collision. Her father wasn't the same afterwards, and neither was Leslie. She was only 3 when the crash happened; her survival was a miracle, the paramedics said. But unbeknownst to anyone, Leslie had awakened her mutant gene: with the power to bend probability to her will, theoretically.

If she knew how to use it, that is.

For the next 11 years, Leslie grew up a normal girl, albeit with a stepmother who tried her best to relate to her new daughter. She never questioned how she survived the crash, because her father never told her about it once she was old enough to bother asking. Leslie never knew that she was special, only that her young friends always said she was super lucky in... everything. Until someone tells her how it works, Leslie will never know that, just by thinking or talking, she can alter the chances of something happening by creating new paths to her goal, or eliminating others. And as she moves up to the 8th grade, with her parents bringing home a new sister, Leslie's world is about to become a lot more hectic.

Powers and Abilities:

• Path Maker
• Path Killer

Weaknesses:

• She's a 14 year old girl. With all the limitations that come with it.
• Leslie doesn't know how to use her powers, only that they work to get her what she wants. It isn't always the best way for her either. She can only consciously use them by speaking, otherwise they happen as a side effect of her words, actions, and thoughts.
• Each use of the power can only directly affect one person at a time (example: "All of you cannot hurt me" will not work, "I cannot be hurt" will. It depends who the subject of the sentence is).

Destructive Capacity: Physically, Below Street Level. Concerning Powers, Practically Infinite.

Speed: 1 m/s.

Durability: (Young) Human Level.

Lifting Strength: Average (Young) Human.

Striking Strength: (Young) Human Class.

Standard Equipment: Not much, Leslie has nothing noteworthy that she owns. A backpack to take to school, clothes, an emergency flip phone that her parents taught her to use.

Intelligence: She's 14. Imagine an average 14 year-old, no special mental abilities. That's Leslie.

Optional stuff.

Theme song: Red Like Roses.

Random Facts about your character: I'm trying to decide whether to make her somewhat emotionless OR a proud big sister to Addison. Could go either way. I'd accept input, if any is to be given.
