Okay, I just got back from a card game. Monster narration coming soon. Expect it sometime later tonight (time here is 11:15)

So what's actually happening now? What does the Fight Coordinator do? Can we post freely like we had been, or is there going to be some kind of structure?
To avoid harming the sanity of the DM I can no longer:
* Cast flesh to stone on a annoying Druid
** Cast Rock to mud on a Druid statue
*** Scoop mud into little ceramic pots
**** Plant tree's in individual ceramic pots
***** Claim that I have helped them become one with nature
You still post freely, accepting that your post is what you would LIKE to have happen. It probably happens, but if its really over the top it might not succeed, or if there is something hidden that stops you, you don't get to complete the action. I will then (after most/all people have posted) weave them all together into a narration with the rest of the group's actions, taking into account monster actions as well. Keep in mind that you can totally still narrate stuff the monsters do (the beast bobbed up, right, left, and down, but could not escape the fatal slashing of Excalibur), but there may be something you do not know, (like the fact that the monster is an illusion, say) and so in the narrative post I make, I will fix this. No need to ask everyone to edit their posts or anything.
EDIT: "Fixing" here means, adding or removing actions on the part of the character that would make the post make sense, as in the case of an illusion you could not sever a monster's head so that its blood flowed ac.ross the floor, unless it was a very, very good illusion. So I would put in my narrative that you expected that to happen, and were surprised when your sword whisked right through its head.

Unfortunately, I must sleep and wait till morning to see teh next post. Nice first Coordination posts, Conor.
Also, I dodged a bit of a bullet: while re-buffing on my Nasuverse knowledge, I remembered that, had I not used Hammer of the Wind King, Excalibur would've been sheathed, for teh purposes of that whole "Good" thing, and I wouldn't have landed a real hit. Thank you, love of combo hits and dramatic poses!

Due to a PM from Armin I realized I should have had my items before I commented so I'll give back the wand.
I already have the Deathly Hallows and the Phoenix core so I'm set.

Sorry everyone
There. *exhale*. that's what a Fight Coordinator does. I hope everyone is happy with their actions and reactions. Now I have to go DM my IRL game, so questions or fixes might have to wait until later.

I have returned! Spoilered below is all the information on Alexander Idrian, my character.
Spoiler
Name: Alexander Idrian Username: 3SecondCultist Previous Incarnations:
Spoiler
- Legato Bluesummers (the crazy, nihilistic villain from Trigun anime)
- The Lord Ruler (tyrannical dictator/Anti-villain chessmaster from the Mistborn series)
- Kvothe (the hero of the Kingkiller Chronicles, AKA the Name of the Wind franchise)
- Gabriel Grey/Sylar (superpowered serial killer/heel-face revolving door from Heroes)
Age: 34 Gender: Male
Powers:
Spoiler
- Long range telepathy. This also includes the ability to manipulate the brain at closer range, in order to override both basic bodily functions and short term memory. [Legato]
- Allomancy. The ability to ingest solutions of metal and use them to fuel pseudo-magical abilities such as enhanced combat durability, magnetic propulsion, and emotional manipulation. [Lord Ruler]
- Feruchemy. While an Allomancer burns metal to gain power, a Feruchemist can use these sames metals as holding units, or minds, to store up their own power. Basically, depending on the metal, a Feruchemist can become worse at something in exchange to be equally better in the future. [Lord Ruler]
- Naming. Naming is a discipline where one perceives the True Name (often referred to simply as Name) of a person, place or thing and by perceiving this Name the namer can control it. [Kvothe]
- Intuitive Aptitude. This is the ability to understand the structure and operation of complex systems without special education or training. However, it also compels the holder to understand as much as they can, resulting in a "hunger" which can manifest a need to understand more. This also comes with a long list of other powers that Sylar has acquired.
Abilities acquired through Intuitive Aptitude:
Spoiler
- Telekinesis (short range)
- Rapid cell regeneration (basically an instantaneous healing factor, with a built-in vulnerable point. This includes severed limbs.)
- Alchemy (can turn anything he touches into gold)
- Clairsentience (The ability to perceive the history of an object or person by touching it.)
- Sound manipulation
- Electric manipulation
- Lie detection
- Imprinting (mentally marking pages)
- Shape-shifting (humans only)
- Disintegration
- Flight
- Empathy (The ability to feel the emotions, thoughts, hopes, desires, and dreams of others.)
Equipment:
Spoiler
- An allomantic laboratory in Sigil, separate from the main headquarters. The solutions required for Allomancy, especially the alloys like steel or nicrosil, require finesse and experimentation to create. Permanent dwelling included.
- The sword called Caesura, from the Name of the Wind franchise. It is nigh indestructible and remains in perfect condition, but does not confer any other bonuses to the wielder.
I hope to be joining the game properly very soon.

Kvothe does have other abilities, most notably Sympathy (a system of energy manipulation that involves creating a sympathetic link between two objects. What is done to one object will affect the other) but also a near master level of swordsmanship (hence the super-sword) and an eidetic memory. From myriad teachers he learns the skills of singing, acting, playing the lute, woodcraft, law, begging, thieving, and seduction. One of the reasons that Kvothe is notable is because he can do pretty much anything once he sets his mind to it.

I would like to point out that his shapeshifting means that his point of vulnrability is mobile. Therefore, the only way to truely kill him, is to do something related to the this character is almost effectively immortal, and will be once he can protect his soul/mind and can kill a wizard that can planeshift. However considering that one character has shown this to some extent, thats isn't too big a deal. I think.
I would like to get this character under some sort of power to prevent him killing us all. (Considering he constantly heal-face-turns). Also I suggest that all characters start wearing thick helmets to prevent him copying our powers, unless telepathy removes the limitation of him having to veiw the brain, in which case all non-psychics are now replaceable because they cant defend against it.
Otherwise, have fun, I'm just going to stat up Aleandrea now, if the sites unblocked....

Ah, well, if his character can only copy powers from his own franchise that's fine. However, if he can copy DBZ or higher level characters, then no.
Even Shinnok, my character can only be allowed to have his powers since Mortal Kombat characters aren't quite as powerful as some setting's characters.

I'm assuming you're talking about Alexander? Well, he is immortal/invincible in two ways. The first is the combination of Sylar's abilities, and the other stems from the infinite age/health loop from Feruchemy and Allomancy.
Also, you'll see what I am doing with him. The hunger is powerful, but three of the characters are arguably heroic in nature and will stop him if they can. Moreover, with Intuitive Aptitude anything is theoretically possible, simply because it is so loosely defined. Understanding complex systems? How about personality integration? The first logical thing Alexander would do is cut himself off from any homicidal, suicidal, or genocidal urges by building barriers in his subconscious (telepathy, remember?).

Also hundreds of minds talking and overwhelming you.
Also a very good and lethal mindscape involving a decreipt mansion.
Well the hundreds of minds aren't there just yet but they will be.
Speaking of:
@Armin: What was in the memories of the stormtrooper I Consumed?
All you remember is the vague recollection of being told to take over the place. You can tell the StormTrooper is pretty young, possibly only months/weeks or even days old.
Saber should be strong against mental incursions, Canaan is if her Sysnesthesia counts as a type of Pure Eye (Armin? Or someone else with teh relevent knowledge set?), I'd think Yu would be due to mental training resulting from being a masterful Persona user, and Rei....Rei is a billions of years old, at least, eldritch abomination with enough power, at minimum, to control reality at a fundamental level on a global scale.
....actually, do try to scan my mind. Save me teh trouble.
Besides, Erik, you're being a little over-particular. We have several major villains in teh group already; just get used to teh fact that we may well have a good deal of PVP combat at some point.

Your telepathy would work on all but one of my Personae, but it wouldn't be entirely useful. Its impossible to copy Charter Magic without a connection to the Charter, you can't use White Science without the wand, and Kimiko's powers are related to constructing things.

Well, John Taylor is the son of a biblical myth, and has a ridiculous amount of mental shields up. That should cover my bases against that. Also, against copying, sharingan techniques specifically require the sharingan to use, and chakra is mental and physical energy combined. Thrawn doesn't have any specific "powers" to speak of, and Karan has will have a space fleet, which is not a copy-able power.

Immortality by virtue of consuming a potion which removes the concept of death shouldn't really be copy-able. Manipulation of fire is an innate ability. You might get some martial arts experience off of Mokou, but otherwise...
Orochimaru's pseudomortality and other snake-related powers probably aren't available for copying, and the techniques use both physical and mental characteristics. So, more martial arts there.
Aizen...I somehow don't think that spiritual pressure can be transmitted through mind-reading, and the only power not derived from that is a fragment of his soul that was implanted into a swords. More martial arts experience.
Evangeline...you might get magic, but it seems likely that mental defenses are in place. Vampirism is unlikely to transfer, so I suppose you'll become more skilled in martial arts...
William might give you insight into the working of computers, but otherwise nothing. I don't exactly have any martial arts experience to tap into.
Also, if telepathy needs to see the head, there might be a few problems finding it.

About copying powers, Rogue absorbing some Marvel based character's powers yes. Rogue absorbing Shang Tsung's powers and sorcery . . . no.
Alright then. Everyone who hasn't posted yet, better do so before 6 o'clock tomorrow or the Fight Coordinator treats you as dazed for this next round of combat. Also, if there's anything you'd like to edit about your posts, do it before then as well. Thank you, and good night.

Okay, here's the thing. Intuitive Aptitude is an innate ability, but there is no predication for copying other such abilities. It is literally defined as "understanding the working behind complex systems". Piloting a starship with zero training? Yep. Instantly mastering all of the powers (like Sylar does) at his disposal? You betcha. It doesn't copy powers, it only lets Alexander understand how they work. In the Heroes-verse, this allowed Sylar to perfectly replicate it, but a lot of the powers here could not be replicated even if Alexander understood the functions behind them. The martial arts experience is a good example of something that Alexander would pick up, if only because it is easy to replicate with his capabilities. Magic? Not so much.
The telepathy thing is separate, and comes from Legato. It is primarily useful when controlling someone's body over hundreds of miles, or overriding someone's senses and short term memory in order to convince them that you were never there.
Now, I have a question. Alexander is in Sigil, so I could go off on my own for a while, or I could have him join the group. Anyone have any suggestions as to where he should go?

Were there only 14 Pit Fiends? I'm trying to plan my next move and by my count we're up to 17 dead, banished, incapacitated, or otherwise engaged with the party. Were the invisible ones in addition to the eight that appeared most recently?
I guess overall I'm just wondering what the situation in the courtyard looks like at the moment, haha.

Nice fights, by the way. Very fun to read :)
We should be coming into a close against the Pitfiends soon.
If there are any left they wouldn't be attacking me.
I reckon I killed the most right now (counting the ones I was attacking when the Meteor Swarm turned into Meteor Explosion)
By the way, how is everyone else handling the integration? Because we all seem to be doing different things.
I'm treating them as different skill sets that can be swapped out and pulling in combos as the sets integrate
Which is why I didn't use any Force Powers and only 1 wandless spell, Jarez and Potter never came to the fore and most of the natural transitions were athletic and thus restricted to ZEUS and Lovett.

Sorry everyone
I'm going with my more simple abilities at the moment, but they're slowly getting stronger and I'm going to be able to handle more of them without, you know, killing myself. I think my strongest power has been Ramuh, and he was confined to what he did in the video game. Eventually I'd like to be able to summon them and have them fight by my side :D Knights of the Round will be epic.
Oh, and I'm trying to combine my powers into something unique to Tristan as opposed to each individual soul. Not just using them in sequence like I did with the Pit Fiends, but in tandem like I did when I uber-hasted myself against the Kull.
