Jax apparently can beat a literal mountain(Malphite), dragon that made stars and stuff (Aurelion Sol). But I digress, I agree that more edits are needed.

Name: Jax
Origin: League of Legends(post-retcon with Institute, I’m following my own canon, taking LoL full retcon is too shit anyway)
Gender: Male
Age: Likely over a 1000(was there when Icathia fell, which was, about a thousand years ago in League years)
Species: Unknown, probably humanoids with three fingers and purple skin(lore never shows what species Jax is)
Appearance:
(Image)
Powers & Abilities:
Relentless Assault: Unlike most combatants, which tend to slow down in prolonged fights, he instead thrives in it. His attacks become faster and faster as the fight drags on.
Basic Attack: Get hit with a lamppost of all things, and it has pointy ends, so beware of bleed.
Leap Strike: You get jumped on, literally. You then get a bash in the head if you're an eneny.
Empower: He takes on an offensive stance, and his first attack is empowered to deal more damage than usual. The lamppost is lit upon assuming this stance, and attacks will burn anything flammable.
Counterstrike: He takes on instead, a defensive stance. Any attacks from his enemies will be parried by his lamp, the damage being dealt back to the offender. If he exits this stance, he will target the feet of every enemy in a circular area in order to make them lose their footing.
Grandmaster’s Might: Jax assumes a mixed stance of both defense and offence. His attacks then start targeting vital areas of the enemy, and he becomes faster in attacking.
Trinity Force Passive: Assuming stances empowers next attack.
Hextech Gunblade Active: Use to slow and damage enemies for an advantage.
Titanic Hydra Active/Passive: Use to empower next basic attack to deal damage in a cone. Passive makes basic attacks deal extra damage in a smaller cone every time.
Guinsoo Passive: Deal escalating damage every attack.
Thornmail Passive: Reflect some damage back to attacker.
Weaknesses: A brass lamppost that can be easily broken, arrogant, and I don’t think he has physical armor, only armor from the Thornmail(which he doesn’t have physically, IDK its magic).
Attack Potency: City Level
Speed: Hypersonic(based on his vsbattles page) with Massively Hypersonic reactions.
Lifting Strength: Class K
Striking Strength: City Class
Durability: City Level
Stamina: Superhuman
Range: Quite long, it is a lamppost after all.
Intelligence: Very High
Equipment on Hand: A lamppost and some clothes.
Brief Bio/History*: The self-styled Grandmaster at Arms known as Jax is a mysterious warrior and sometime mercenary renowned for his prowess in combat and biting sarcasm. While exceptionally skilled with virtually every conceivable weapon, he often chooses to fight with a mundane implement, such as a lamppost, in order to give his opponents a sporting chance(ya like vsbattle.wiki?).
Brief Personality Description*: An arrogant asshole, though not unfounded, as his skill is unmatched. Also tends to be sarcastic.
*Optional, but recommended
Note: We use VSBW stats. The links to the VSBW summary of information for each stat are given in the application.

There's a bit too much focus on Jax's ingame abilities here. So much so that you haven't even listed why Jax is called Grandmaster at Arms in his ability section, that being his mastery of every weapon known to man, and the ability to turn any object (Rubber Chickens, inflatable balloon halberds, lampposts, etc.) into a lethal weapon. I suggest replacing Basic Attack with something referring to that instead. While we're on the topic of abilities, this'll need some clarification:

Counterstrike: He takes on instead, a defensive stance. Any attacks from his enemies will be parried by his lamp, the damage being dealt back to the offender. If he exits this stance, he will target the feet of every enemy in a circular area in order to make them lose their footing.

It runs into the problem of mainly being based on game mechanics. Jax is a master among masters, yes, however, he still does get hit as the cinematics show. He can't Counterstrike everything. We need to establish the limits of the ability.
Thornmail Passive: Reflect some damage back to attacker.

Change some to partial and it should be good. Just clarify that if someone lops Jax's arm off, the attacker won't suddenly lose theirs.
Attack Potency: City Level

For most humanoid fighter type LoL champions, I'd always figured they're Large Building Level at most (Demolishing Towers). What prompted you to use City Level?
Speed: Hypersonic(based on his vsbattles page) with Massively Hypersonic reactions.

As a general rule, we don't trust vsbattles wiki when it comes to ranking character stats. Yes, we use their stat system, but their character sheets tend to be wanked. I can accept Hypersonic reactions, but Movement and Attack Speed is a bit suspect especially since I've never seen any feat, lore or in-game, to my knowledge that shows Jax is capable of that. Can you show me a source?

Gonna have to ask a source for this. I don't think we've ever seen Jax lift anything with the size of blue whales

I'll need to hear your reasoning for this. I'd put him at Large Building Level instead.
Durability: City Level

I'd put Jax at building level actually. He's not a dedicated tank after all.

I'd also rather you remove Guinsoo's Rageblade and the Trinity Force entirely since using the stats we already have, they won't allow him to up his damage to the next tier since they'll be window dressing at most. This is purely optional of course, no harm in keeping them in the app either.

Apologies for the many, many questions, but you're following your own version of the canon so I need to hear how and why you ranked Jax the way you did especially since LoL lore is very flexible.

I'm no FMA expert so I'll avoid commenting on the stats, but can you list anymore weaknesses? Distress at the sound of crying babies isn't very useful when he's rocking Matter Manipulation.

Speaking of which, Manner Manipulation needs to be expounded on since it's a really, really good ability. Also, is there a limit to his regeneration?


Limit to his regeneration is the same as the limit on Greeds, which is to say "Expend the souls he has in his body, but good luck doing it."

Matter Manipulation is tied into his alchemy. Provided he knows the chemical/elemental composition of an object (which is a given, due to him knowing Circleless Alchemy), he can restructure the matter into a different form. He cannot create new matter, unless through a philosopher's stone.

And due to his regeneration being the same as Greed's I guess the expenditure of souls would also go in weaknesses?

Yeah, but you'd need to find an arc that can house one of them. I might recommend asking around as far as that goes before you start an arc, that way you don't app for a character that can't be used.

To clarify for Tales of Trebizond the posting format:

There's two kinds of posts, the most "important" being the story posts, in which I post something to move the plot along, and the normal posts, which is basically everything else. Character posts can be posted in whatever order you like, this is so that dialogue and fight scenes can progress fluidly. After a plot post and before the next, characters can react and then engage in back and forth dialogue, fights, etc. without needing to wait for all the other players to post. Once a plot post happens, it's expected that the characters will react to the change, then they can repeat the cycle. And so on. Thought I'd post this since my next post is for an individual character, Scrappy, and not to advance the plot (as i am waiting on people for that), so don't take it like the priests are ignoring anyone or anything.

Name: Vokkon
Origin: Avatar: TLA/LOK Universe
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Species: Human
Appearance:

Powers & Abilities:
-Expert Waterbender
Waterbending is the control over water. Vokkon is able to do many things with waterbending, in and out of combat. With his skill in waterbending, he is able to not only just control water, but to also freeze it, and to heal with it. With these capabilities, Vokkon is a great ally in the field, though his offensive capabilities are still strong. He is also able to overcome a large obstacle in waterbending, which is a requirement for a source of water. Although he still requires such, he can now draw water from all things that have water within them.

-Superhuman Traits
Although he is, in a way, just human, his physical capabilities are much higher than the average person. He's, holds better reflexes, is stronger, and is more durable than every average human.

-Master Swordsman
Vokkon is able to utilise his twin swords well, wreaking havoc on the battlefield with them. Although he is slower than Yodan, he is still very fast, and with that, he is able to use fast and vicious attacks.

-Full Moon Boost
When a fool moon appears, his waterbending powers strengthen, though not as much as a comet boost for firebenders.

Weaknesses:
-Waterbending Drawbacks
When a lunar eclipse occurs, a waterbender loses their bending abilities for that moment. If a waterbender's arms are tied, they cannot make the necessary arm movements to bend, which is a major part of waterbending. Water is a natural conductor of lightning, and therefore Vokkon is susceptible to these attacks. Finally, a waterbender is also dependent on their emotional state, and if they're emotionally unbalanced, they may become stronger, but in turn lose control over their actions and may become much more brash.

-Light Armour
Vokkon has light armour, and in turn, without his swords or bending, is basically a sitting duck.

Attack Potency: Wall-Small Building level
Speed: Massively Hypersonic (though is slower than Yodan. Is around 150-200 Machs)
Lifting Strength: Above Average Human
Striking Strength: Wall class
Durability: Wall level in normal state, building+ with water shields
Stamina: High
Range: Extended melee range (utilising swords), tens of metres (with bending)
Intelligence: Above average (is able to learn bending abilities very quickly, and can sometimes think himself out of a situation well)

Equipment on Hand:
-Set of Light Clothes: Just light clothes. Don't do anything, except being light clothes.
-Twin Dao Swords: Vokkon has a twin pair of "Dao" swords that he made himself while being taught under his master. With these swords, he is able to put his mastery to use, and is able to do battle.
-Waterskin: An extra source of water, just in dire cases.

Name: Yodan
Origin: Avatar: TLA/LOK Universe
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Species: Human
Appearance:
Powers & Abilities:
-Expert Firebender
With this, Yodan is able to control fire at will, and is able to do so well. This can be used in any way, whether it be offensively, defensively, or out-of-combat. Yodan is also capable of lightning generation and redirection, which is basically just lightningbending as a whole. Lightning generation is a more deadly method of bending, but if redirected, can be fatal to the dealer. Although Yodan can generate lightning, it is taxing on his chi reserves as it is more complicated than regular firebending.

-Expert Martial Artist
Yodan is trained in the ways of martial arts. With this, he is versatile in combat situations, and is capable of doing considerable damage to his enemies, even without bending.

-Superhuman Traits
Although he is, in a way, just human, his physical capabilities are much higher than the average person. He's, holds better reflexes, is stronger, and is more durable than every average human.

-Comet Boost (?)
Based on Sozin's comet. If a comet rolls around, his firebending abilities and power increase by a very large margin, making him stronger and more formidable than before.

Weaknesses:
-Firebending Drawbacks
If there's a solar eclipse, firebending does not work at all. The extreme cold greatly diminishes firebending abilities, but does not do away with them. A lack of drive to firebend can greatly diminish abilities as well. Although a full moon aids waterbenders, it weakens firebenders to some degree.

-Lack of Armour
Although Yodan has past-lightning-fast reflexes, he lacks armour. Although he is very durable, you can technically kill him with just a stab to a fatal area. Since firebending is also a more aggressive type of bending, this might leave him more susceptible to fatal damage.

Attack Potency: Small Building level
Speed: Massively Hypersonic
Lifting Strength: Peak Human
Striking Strength: Wall class
Durability: Wall level normally, building level with fire shields
Stamina: High (bordering superhuman)
Range: Melee range, tens of metres (with bending)
Intelligence: Slightly above average (is able to learn new abilities that aid to his fighting ability quickly, along with being somewhat adept in strategy)
Equipment on Hand:
-Light Clothing (2nd Right One - Named "Traveling"): Just some light clothes for the journey.

Since you're using old lore, I believe it's canon that the champions in the rift are nerfed to allow for a level playing field for all. Otherwise, Teemo's blowdart would be mountain busting, and so would the chickens in the jungle.

I've only ever dabbled in Avatar but why are your characters Massively Hypersonic (Hundreds of Machs)? Wouldn't that make all those new, neat tech in the setting like planes, tanks, and trains completely obsolete if a Bender can move so much faster?

If he has too many souls for him to ever run out, then it ain't much of a weakness. How rapid is his regen?

Maybe use something from his personality? How was he beaten in the first place.

Just put in those other weaknesses and Wrath is accepted. Maybe you can add in that he can be tricked if promised maternal warmth and love since he was carving that throughout the series?

Name: Vokkon
Origin: Avatar: TLA/LOK Universe
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Species: Human
Appearance:

Powers & Abilities:
-Expert Waterbender
Waterbending is the control over water. Vokkon is able to do many things with waterbending, in and out of combat. With his skill in waterbending, he is able to not only just control water, but to also freeze it, and to heal with it. With these capabilities, Vokkon is a great ally in the field, though his offensive capabilities are still strong. He is also able to overcome a large obstacle in waterbending, which is a requirement for a source of water. Although he still requires such, he can now draw water from all things that have water within them.

-Superhuman Traits
Although he is, in a way, just human, his physical capabilities are much higher than the average person. He's, holds better reflexes, is stronger, and is more durable than every average human.

-Master Swordsman
Vokkon is able to utilise his twin swords well, wreaking havoc on the battlefield with them. Although he is slower than Yodan, he is still very fast, and with that, he is able to use fast and vicious attacks.

-Full Moon Boost
When a fool moon appears, his waterbending powers strengthen, though not as much as a comet boost for firebenders.

Weaknesses:
-Waterbending Drawbacks
When a lunar eclipse occurs, a waterbender loses their bending abilities for that moment. If a waterbender's arms are tied, they cannot make the necessary arm movements to bend, which is a major part of waterbending. Water is a natural conductor of lightning, and therefore Vokkon is susceptible to these attacks. Finally, a waterbender is also dependent on their emotional state, and if they're emotionally unbalanced, they may become stronger, but in turn lose control over their actions and may become much more brash.

-Light Armour
Vokkon has light armour, and in turn, without his swords or bending, is basically a sitting duck.

Attack Potency: Wall-Small Building level
Speed: Massively Hypersonic (though is slower than Yodan. Is around 150-200 Machs)
Lifting Strength: Above Average Human
Striking Strength: Wall class
Durability: Wall level in normal state, building+ with water shields
Stamina: High
Range: Extended melee range (utilising swords), tens of metres (with bending)
Intelligence: Above average (is able to learn bending abilities very quickly, and can sometimes think himself out of a situation well)

Equipment on Hand:
-Set of Light Clothes: Just light clothes. Don't do anything, except being light clothes.
-Twin Dao Swords: Vokkon has a twin pair of "Dao" swords that he made himself while being taught under his master. With these swords, he is able to put his mastery to use, and is able to do battle.
-Waterskin: An extra source of water, just in dire cases.

Name: Yodan
Origin: Avatar: TLA/LOK Universe
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Species: Human
Appearance:
Powers & Abilities:
-Expert Firebender
With this, Yodan is able to control fire at will, and is able to do so well. This can be used in any way, whether it be offensively, defensively, or out-of-combat. Yodan is also capable of lightning generation and redirection, which is basically just lightningbending as a whole. Lightning generation is a more deadly method of bending, but if redirected, can be fatal to the dealer. Although Yodan can generate lightning, it is taxing on his chi reserves as it is more complicated than regular firebending.

-Expert Martial Artist
Yodan is trained in the ways of martial arts. With this, he is versatile in combat situations, and is capable of doing considerable damage to his enemies, even without bending.

-Superhuman Traits
Although he is, in a way, just human, his physical capabilities are much higher than the average person. He's, holds better reflexes, is stronger, and is more durable than every average human.

-Comet Boost (?)
Based on Sozin's comet. If a comet rolls around, his firebending abilities and power increase by a very large margin, making him stronger and more formidable than before.

Weaknesses:
-Firebending Drawbacks
If there's a solar eclipse, firebending does not work at all. The extreme cold greatly diminishes firebending abilities, but does not do away with them. A lack of drive to firebend can greatly diminish abilities as well. Although a full moon aids waterbenders, it weakens firebenders to some degree.

-Lack of Armour
Although Yodan has past-lightning-fast reflexes, he lacks armour. Although he is very durable, you can technically kill him with just a stab to a fatal area. Since firebending is also a more aggressive type of bending, this might leave him more susceptible to fatal damage.

Attack Potency: Small Building level
Speed: Massively Hypersonic
Lifting Strength: Peak Human
Striking Strength: Wall class
Durability: Wall level normally, building level with fire shields
Stamina: High (bordering superhuman)
Range: Melee range, tens of metres (with bending)

Yeah that speed is too much since not even the Avatar can reach insane speeds like that.

The reason why these characters are so fast is because they are capable of redirecting lightning, which I don't know what it precisely is, but it's fast. Real fast. They are also shown to move faster than lightning in some situations, where Zuko jumps in front of the shot from Azula to save Katara in the last Agni Kai.

In the VSBattles wiki, it says Zuko is massively hypersonic, and there have been things to debunk this lightning thing, using other methods, but I think some of those have been debunked as well. The big question is whether firebender lightning is faster than natural lightning or not, but I don't know if there's any evidence to prove either side or not.

So, yeah. If it is as fast as natural lightning, then I can turn down the actual speed of the character, but not the reflexes, as the characters in the show are very able to redirect lightning if they know how to.

Since you're using old lore, I believe it's canon that the champions in the rift are nerfed to allow for a level playing field for all. Otherwise, Teemo's blowdart would be mountain busting, and so would the chickens in the jungle.

I've only ever dabbled in Avatar but why are your characters Massively Hypersonic (Hundreds of Machs)? Wouldn't that make all those new, neat tech in the setting like planes, tanks, and trains completely obsolete if a Bender can move so much faster?
Cybraxia wrote:Limit to his regeneration is the same as the limit on Greeds, which is to say "Expend the souls he has in his body, but good luck doing it."

Matter Manipulation is tied into his alchemy. Provided he knows the chemical/elemental composition of an object (which is a given, due to him knowing Circleless Alchemy), he can restructure the matter into a different form. He cannot create new matter, unless through a philosopher's stone.

And due to his regeneration being the same as Greed's I guess the expenditure of souls would also go in weaknesses?

If he has too many souls for him to ever run out, then it ain't much of a weakness. How rapid is his regen?

Maybe use something from his personality? How was he beaten in the first place.


He was beaten by having his arms (really Ed's) taken from him and given back to Ed, and then later changed sides. As for how he died, he sacrificed himself to allow Al to go back to his version of Earth. Regen is pretty fast.

The only homunculi IIRC that died of complete expenditure of souls were Lust and Sloth. It doesn't go into specifics of how many souls each one has nor does it say the depletion of the souls within them.

Their survivability is entirely dependent on plot.

Alright, I'll take that. The movement speed will be toned down, because now that I think about it, no one moves that fast in Avatar. But what about reflexes?

I'd say that Bender reflexes are a lot higher than normal, but massively hypersonic tier sounds a bit much to me. Would putting them somewhere in the realm of supersonic be objectionable to you?

I don't think a supersonic tier person would be able to redirect lightning.

Normal MHS isn't even fast enough; In order to properly react to lightning, you'd need Massively Hypersonic+ perception, which starts at Mach 1,000; In addition, if you specifically could differentiate between the main stroke and the return stroke, that would need to be at least Relativistic, as the return stroke travels at 33% SoL.

MHS+ and even Relativistic speeds for characters may be acceptable in the RP (at least for those who we already know well), but they seem ridiculously high compared to everything else in Avatar, so I wouldn't be able to accept that, if it's for a character from their verse.

The MHS speed tier AtLA has on VSBW comes from powerscaling a "lightning" catching/blocking feat by Zuko. Said feat has several issues, mainly:
1. It is not true lightning. There is no way to tell if it should be counted as true lightning, as it doesn't act like true lightning. This means you can't use the speed of lightning in calculating it.

As an example of a verse which MHS+ reactions can be proven via lightning dodging feats, Pokemon gives plenty of examples of true lightning (i.e., attacks such as thunder, which can be dodged in higher level combat), and non-cloud-to-ground lightning that acts as real lightning does; Whenever an electric Pokemon uses thunderbolt, for instance, the attack takes the path of least resistance, generates heat, and is shown to be affected by electromagnetic forces and conduction. Further, these attacks commonly cause muscle contraction and paralysis in-verse, and at times have even been shown performing electrolysis.

I'm not as familiar with AtLA, but I don't remember the electricity-based attacks in that vers being consistently shown to match the properties of real lightning, which as it's not cloud-to-ground, would be the only way to warrant considering it to be true lightning.

2. As many on VSBW stated in the thread regarding the acceptance of the calc used, this is also considered an outlier.

The main admins of the site seemed to mostly ignore this point; Part of the reason we take VSBW's articles with a grain of salt is that either too many assumptions are made, the articles are overwanked/rely too much on powerscaling, or the people accepting the calcs ignore certain arguments entirely (I'd give them the benefit of the doubt, and say that they're understaffed and short on time).

The only other lightning feat I remember is Iroh intercepting a natural lightning bolt, but according to the thread, it was calc'd at Subsonic (most likely due to distance).

All this being said, I'm not the most knowledgeable regarding Avatar, so if another Co-OP is more knowledgeable, I'll default to their judgement on this, but I think it seems a bit sketch.

Name: Vokkon
Origin: Avatar: TLA/LOK Universe
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Species: Human
Appearance: Vokkon

Powers & Abilities:
-Expert Waterbender
Waterbending is the control over water. Vokkon is able to do many things with waterbending, in and out of combat. With his skill in waterbending, he is able to not only just control water, but to also freeze it, and to heal with it. With these capabilities, Vokkon is a great ally in the field, though his offensive capabilities are still strong. He is also able to overcome a large obstacle in waterbending, which is a requirement for a source of water. Although he still requires such, he can now draw water from all things that have water within them.

-Superhuman Traits
Although he is, in a way, just human, his physical capabilities are much higher than the average person. He's, holds better reflexes, is stronger, and is more durable than every average human.

-Master Swordsman
Vokkon is able to utilise his twin swords well, wreaking havoc on the battlefield with them. Although he is slower than Yodan, he is still very fast, and with that, he is able to use fast and vicious attacks.

-Full Moon Boost
When a fool moon appears, his waterbending powers strengthen, though not as much as a comet boost for firebenders.

Weaknesses:
-Waterbending Drawbacks
When a lunar eclipse occurs, a waterbender loses their bending abilities for that moment. If a waterbender's arms are tied, they cannot make the necessary arm movements to bend, which is a major part of waterbending. Water is a natural conductor of lightning, and therefore Vokkon is susceptible to these attacks. Finally, a waterbender is also dependent on their emotional state, and if they're emotionally unbalanced, they may become stronger, but in turn lose control over their actions and may become much more brash.

-Light Armour
Vokkon has light armour, and in turn, without his swords or bending, is basically a sitting duck.

Attack Potency: Wall-Small Building level
Speed: Supersonic
Lifting Strength: Above Average Human
Striking Strength: Wall class
Durability: Wall level in normal state, building+ with water shields
Stamina: High
Range: Extended melee range (utilising swords), tens of metres (with bending)
Intelligence: Above average (is able to learn bending abilities very quickly, and can sometimes think himself out of a situation well)

Equipment on Hand:
-Set of Light Clothes: Just light clothes. Don't do anything, except being light clothes.
-Twin Dao Swords: Vokkon has a twin pair of "Dao" swords that he made himself while being taught under his master. With these swords, he is able to put his mastery to use, and is able to do battle.
-Waterskin: An extra source of water, just in case.

Brief Bio/History*: Vokkon was born into the Northern Water Tribe during the Hundred Year War, and was born a waterbender. In the tribe, he was taught how to waterbend, and discovered the capabilities of the art. Not only could he attack and defend with water, but he could also create great structures out of ice, and could also heal his allies. Even under the greatest mentors in the tribe, he was an exceptional student. He was also trained in the ways of the twin blades, and that was where he forged his twin daos. His skills were put to the test during the final invasion of the Northern Water Tribe conducted by the Fire Nation. After so, his training was completed and he ventured out of the Water Tribe. He made his way to the Earth Kingdom, where he bettered his abilities along the way, and learned under a new master when it came to swordsmanship.

Now, ever since the end of the Hundred Year War, Vokkon has been traveling all around the world, learning new things, and trying to better his ways. He lives as a traveler and as a thrill-seeker, but he also likes to build friendships and connections. Over the course of his journeys, he met a firebender named Yodan, who first fought due to some miscommunications, but then resolved it, then after a while, worked together.
Brief Personality Description*: Vokkon is a generally soft-spoken person, and lets Yodan do the talking, but can be a bit cocky at some points. Overall, he's a nice person, but with a few issues here and there, like his firebender ally.

Name: Yodan
Origin: Avatar: TLA/LOK Universe
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Species: Human
Appearance: The face of this guy.
Powers & Abilities:
-Expert Firebender
With this, Yodan is able to control fire at will, and is able to do so well. This can be used in any way, whether it be offensively, defensively, or out-of-combat. Yodan is also capable of lightning generation and redirection, which is basically just lightningbending as a whole. Lightning generation is a more deadly method of bending, but if redirected, can be fatal to the dealer. Although Yodan can generate lightning, it is taxing on his chi reserves as it is more complicated than regular firebending.

-Expert Martial Artist
Yodan is trained in the ways of martial arts. With this, he is versatile in combat situations, and is capable of doing considerable damage to his enemies, even without bending.

-Superhuman Traits
Although he is, in a way, just human, his physical capabilities are much higher than the average person. He's, holds better reflexes, is stronger, and is more durable than every average human.

-Comet Boost (?)
Based on Sozin's comet. If a comet rolls around, his firebending abilities and power increase by a very large margin, making him stronger and more formidable than before.

Weaknesses:
-Firebending Drawbacks
If there's a solar eclipse, firebending does not work at all. The extreme cold greatly diminishes firebending abilities, but does not do away with them. A lack of drive to firebend can greatly diminish abilities as well. Although a full moon aids waterbenders, it weakens firebenders to some degree.

-Lack of Armour
Although Yodan has past-lightning-fast reflexes, he lacks armour. Although he is very durable, you can technically kill him with just a stab to a fatal area. Since firebending is also a more aggressive type of bending, this might leave him more susceptible to fatal damage.

Attack Potency: Small Building level
Speed: Supersonic
Lifting Strength: Peak Human
Striking Strength: Wall class
Durability: Wall level normally, building level with fire shields
Stamina: High (bordering superhuman)
Range: Melee range, tens of metres (with bending)
Intelligence: Slightly above average (is able to learn new abilities that aid to his fighting ability quickly, along with being somewhat adept in strategy)
Equipment on Hand:
-Light Clothing (2nd Right One - Named "Traveling"): Just some light clothes for the journey.
Brief Bio/History*: Yodan was also born during the Hundred Year War in the Fire Nation. Here, he took up firebending with a great passion, and strived to be a great fighter, or one of the strongest in the world. He never joined the army to fight for the Fire Nation, and instead left the Fire Nation behind in search for opponents and betterment. Yodan has learned martial arts from several masters, and the same goes with firebending. On his journeys, Yodan came across a waterbender called Vokkon, and although at first they were against each other, now they fight with each other.
Brief Personality Description*: Although Yodan isn't one to cause too much trouble, he's generally louder than Vokkon and is more outgoing. Although he can be a bit brash, he's mostly a stand up guy.

b]Name:[/b] The Architect
Origin: Dragon Age Origins: Awakening
Gender: Male
Age: unknown but at least as old as the height of the tevinter empire.
Species: Darkspawn
Appearance: Image
Powers & Abilities: Powers/abilities: If his body is killed, he can survive like the archdemon can, through a darkspawn, but unlike the archdemon he can take the body of any tainted creature including grey wardens. Magic, blood magic, doesn't need to eat sleep breathe or make waste.
Weaknesses: unlike the archdemon which forms right away if the body is slain by a non warden, the architect has to take his time recovering. Blood magic may be powerful but it takes away the caster's life force if an offensive move. Weak to being smited and such. His blood can cause land to become deadly and barren for decades. Get any in your system, you are dead. No cure, can only slow it down by a few decades by becoming a grey warden. If you don't, dead within the week.
Attack Potency: 7-C
Speed: Athletic Human
Lifting Strength: Class K with his magic, regular human without it.
Striking Strength: Athlete class
Durability: City block level
Stamina: Can keep going when he's not using blood magic. While using it above average.
Range: maximum two city blocks away
Intelligence: Very above average
Equipment on Hand: his staff
Brief Bio/History*: The architect, name unknown, was one of the rulers at the height of the ancient tevinter imperium. He and six others heard the voices of their gods, saying that they could take heaven. They listened. They fell. Entering heaven tainted and blackened it, brought sin to it, turning it into the black city. The maker cursed them with their own sins, twisting them to hideous abominations of nature,turning them into the first darkspawn. Only he of the seven had gotten amnesia, when he regained his memories he sought out the god he both worshiped and led the flock of, accidentally turning it into an archdemon when all he wanted to do was make the darkspawn as sentient as him. A year later the archdemon was defeated and the architect took wardens against their will for their blood, performing a reverse joining. That made the darkspawn that undertook it sentient. Causing the new warden commander of ferelden to investigate. A few months later he approached the warden commander, begging for his help with his work. The warden agreed, letting him go but keeping a close eye on him. This, is where his adventures begin.
Brief Personality Description*: Loyal to his people to a fault.
