“That’s a shame,” Ryjuta sighed. “I suppose Ian won’t be in many official matches then if I don’t know he has a high chance of losing.” He took a whiff of the wine and took a sip to sample the taste.

“That’s a bit low, Ryjuta,” Elaine commented. “Trying to make him lose? The boy could get hurt out there.”

He shook his head, “No, he’s not a boy anymore and he should be treated as such.....but maybe I should take my own advice.”

Hyun-ki was a bit confused. Why would Ian’s chance of winning be any different than everyone else? He just shrugged and stared at the food which he had no desire to eat. “So why did you decided to bring us here? Just for a meal and a chat?” he asked, adjusting his glasses on his nose again.

“Entertainment of course,” Hyun-ki answered. Ryjuta shot him a piercing glance and Hyun-ki sank into the back of his seat.

“I don’t care about that. My concern is for my student, Ian,” Ryjuta answered. “I don’t think entertainment would be a problem though. My Ian is quite the flashy fighter when he wants to be.” He began examining a glass of wine that was near him, pondering if he should drink or not. “Now I have a question for you. Can you alter the matches to favor one fighter over another?”

“You mean cheat!? Why would you think such a thing?,” Elaine out bursted. “If you’re so confident in your pupil why would you need to cheat?”

She continued shouting for a short time, Ryjuta passively listening. After she was done, he answered her. “Trust me, Elaine, that is not my intention.” He turned to Annette, “So is it possible to fix these matches without the knowledge of the participants?”

"Sure. I guess it can't hurt to see what I'm up against," Hyun-ki answered.

“What is this all about?” Elaine demanded in her strong yet still very feminine voice.

“Patience,” Ryjuta chanted before stepping up to the table and bowing his upperbody. “One must be polite to their hostess. Greetings, my name is Ryjuta Ishikawa and my colleagues are Seung Hyun-ki and Elaine Richardson. A pleasure to meet you.” He then seated himself across the table from Annette.

Hyun-ki walked up, performed a quick bow and sat himself to Ryjuta’s right. Elaine simply plopped down in a seat on the other side of Hyun-ki; they both kept themselves silent.

With a quick call, Ryjuta returned to his gladiator’s meeting quarters. “Gazer has yet to return but my guess is he’s on his way.” he told the three as Jase handed him the message.

“What about that alluring archer?” Ian asked with a grin and almost drooling on himself.

“She’s here but she has her own private quarters.”

“Aww...” Ian whined.

After reading the message, Ryjuta straightened his already perfect posture so he seemed even taller. “Hyun-ki, you’re going with me.”

“What? To that meeting? Why?” Hyun-ki asked.

“Yeah, and why not me?” Ian added.

“Hyun-ki is the most responsible and you need to go meditate on your lessons about discipline, Ian.” Ryjuta marched out with Hyun-ki behind, leaving Ian and Jase. Before heading to the ballroom, he stopped by and picked up Elaine who was tuning her bow. She wore tight leather strapped pants, combat boots and a tight top that generally kept her covered but her shoulders were bare. Her entire costume was orange, yellow and red with flame patterns on her pants and boots and a bird symbol on her chest. She wore red fingerless gloves and a pair of yellow/orange wings arched up from behind her long dirty blonde hair. Also a belt with large pouches hung loosely around her slender waist(I love her costume). Soon, all three were at the entrance to the ballroom.

“I don’t want to do this.....I hate arenas and I don’t like to fight for meaningless reasons,” Hyun-ki gruffed as he leaned back in his chair. He wore his normal black kung-fu suit, his dark brown hair gracefully reaching to his lower back and his physique moderately built at a height of around 6'2. “Why was I forced to do this again?” he asked, pushing up his wireframe glasses up the bridge of his nose.

“For Ian, apparently,” Jase replied from the chair across the table. He was wearing standard ninja garb that was lightly equipped with various throwing weapons. His jet black hair was wild and spikey and reached his shoulders and his figure was a bit feminine. “He has such high hopes for our cute little swordsman,” he added with a grin toward Ian.

“Oh shut it!” Ian snapped, pacing the room anxiously. He wore a light grey short sleeve gi that had blue lining and the same color grey tattered loose pants. He had grown a bit taller than he use to be, 6 feet even now, and was a bit lanky although toned from his excessive training. His hands were wrapped and his forehead was tied with a dark blue headband, his short and light brown hair hanging over it in strands. He lightly tapped the dark red(nearly black) wooden sword that was under his belt as he continued to pace. “Why are you being such a wimp about this, Hyun-ki?”

“I’m no wimp. It’s just pointless to fight in arenas like this. All these fights are rigged, you know?”

“Yeah, rigged for me to kick everyone’s butt. I was made for the arena,” Ian said with a grin.

“Have you lost your humility again!? If your sensei heard you he’d smack you so hard-” Hyun-ki barked, giving Ian a cold stare. Ian frowned and began staring at his feet.

“Let him gloat a little. He *is* good at one-on-one combat. He did win all those other tournaments, after all and I don’t think those were rigged,” Jase interrupted with a smile and an intrusive stare toward the young swordsman. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Jase looked toward the door before melting into a pool of darkness. He reappeared at the door, revealing a note held by a spine of ice. “Looks like the old [censored] has a dinner date.”

((Actually, it kind of is. I decided to copy the name(sort of) because one of the elemental techniques I gave him is like one of the attacks Raijuta used on the show.))

((Sorry. The master I had in mind is my first character, Ryjuta. He does have powers but he's discipined enought to not use them unless his life is in danger. Besides, I feel he's too powerful to use in any sort of RP.))

((Would it be too late for someone else to join? I'll go ahead and post a bit about the characters I'll use. Just give me a yes or no, I can wait until the next fight if needed(haven't read the last 4 pages but I'm working on it.)

Master: Ryjuta Ishikawa- He's a really powerful swordsman but he won't be fighting because he's the member of the arena trust. He wears green and blue silk martial arts atire and lookes a bit aged(like late 40s) but he's around 52. His weapon is a really long chokuto or straight katana type sword. His abilities to use his chakra to connect with the elements along with his speed make him dangerous on the battle field.

1.)Elaine Richardson [categorized as TA/arch defender]- Also known as Phoenix-Archer. She's about 32 with the hot mom look(I can't get myself to put a cape on her; it would just ruin that rear shot lol) I won't go into it but she has telescopic vision, making her aim meticulous. Also, she has the ability to come back to life if her body is burned to ashes. This usually grants her additional abilities. This is how she obtained her archery skills and her ability to fly.

2.)Star-Gazer [categorized as a FF/psy defender]- He has no other name but sometimes just goes by the name Gazer. He's a cosmic being, able to create force fields between points of light. The powers of his mind can be used as an offensive tool or a means to invigorate his allies.

3.)Ian Kelly [categorized as a kat/SR scrapper]- The pupil of master Ryjuta also known as Quick-Strike(I'm working on a brand name with the whole 'name' 'dash' 'name' thing). Now 17, he has mastered a very peculiar weapon, the bokken or wooden sword. His skill with it has surpassed his masters, allowing him to cut objects that would be reletively impossible with a standared bladed weapon. He can perform some of the elemental techniques his sensei can do but rarely uses them because it's too time consuming during a fast paced battle. Instead, he relies on his wit, speed, agility and his ability to combine his sword techniques to defeat his enemies.

4.)Seung Hyun-ki [categorized as a kinetic/kinetic tank or SS/Inv for simplicity's sake]- His age is 20. A skilled martial artist, he is a master of the shaolin kung fu fighting style. Although not powerful, it can be useful to incapacitate a foe instead of defeating them. He also mastered the technique of manipulating the force(potential or kinetic) of an object or person if he touches them. He can also change the density and inertia of his body making him light as air or as resiliant as a steel wall.

5.)Jase Morgan [categorized as a Spines/DA stalker]- His age is 19 and known as Nightmare-Strike. A fallen pupil of Ryjuta, he took up the roll of a ninja assassin. With the ability to manipulate shadows, his seemingly endless supply of poison tipped shuriken and kunai, Unji and Unsho(the over sized kunai he has strapped to his back) and a few ninja tricks, he can be particularly dangerous. Add in that he was born a telepath and he could seem particularly intimidating. He constantly sends out telepathic waves that fool with enemy senses, making it seem like they hear, see or feel his presense elsewhere. Also, he can invade minds and manipulate their thoughts(presense pool: Challenge, Provoke, Intimidate and Invoke Panic).

I just want to give an arena battle RP a try and this one is the newest and seems most interesting.

[EDIT] I added a bit to Jase's description. Also, just a note but I took all my characters and aged them 3 years so it's a bit in the future from the other RPs. If that contradicts someone else's timeline I'll just get my cosmic being character to bring them from another time ))

The group of mages were being decimated by the dog-girl when two males calmly showed up on the scene. One of the thorn wielders began to turn tail in a hasty retreat but a kung-fu clad 18 year old blocked his path. The villain was about to shout something but a pair of fingers rested right between his eyes. Without much movement on Hyun-ki’s part, the thorn wielder was catapulted a few dozen yards into the distance; the actual landing caused more damage than the force that threw him back.

Hyun-ki kneeled next to the civilians who would have soon been sacrificed. “Are you okay?” he asked with a friendly smile to comfort them.

Ian, who was dressed in a pair of loose dark blue jeans, a light grey tee shirt, sneakers and his normal headband and hand wrap just stood and watched the demi-human battle. He was carrying two bags over his shoulder, one his and the other his friend’s. “Wow, she’s good. Perhaps a friendly match before we leave to this party?” Ian asked with a huge grin on his face.

“I doubt we have that kind of time,” Hyun-ki replied.

Somewhere near the boarder of India and China(I dunno where, Geography isn’t my forte), stood an expansive monastery with green roofs and black walls. It was surrounded by dense forest and towering mountain tops. It wasn’t particularly craggy but the terrain was still difficult to travel over. The sun had risen only an hour or so ago but was completely blocked out by thick grey clouds. Ian had awaken early and stood gazing up at the sky from the open window of his quarters. A gentle drizzle wafted around his light brown hair, his now violet tinted eyes emitting a concise expression of gloom.(Yes, there’s a reason his eyes are a different color) He sighed a bit before someone entered the room.

“Ian, you’re suppose to be cleaning the floor of the dining hall,” Hyun-ki said in a polite manner. He spoke with stern authority but his face was slightly sympathetic. He was wearing his normal crimson shaolin attire(he only wore them around the monastery) and held his hands behind him.

Ian sighed and picked up his cleaning supplies. “Sorry, I’ll get right on it.” After his classes had ended at Golden Eagle Highschool for the spring semester, his sensei Ryjuta-san, sent him to train under one of his colleague's pupil. He had to take a plane then ride by horse to even get near where Hyun-ki grew up and trained. What was Ian’s training? Lots of humbling chores and house work. Ian knew he deserved this but he still would rather battle and duel opponents than cleaning day in and day out.

“Also, don’t forget to sweep the leaves from the entrance and retrieve some water from the river,” Hyun-ki ordered. He knew Ian was miserable but he also understood what had to be done so he didn’t go easy on him.

“...yes,” Ian replied as he rolled up the leggings and sleeves of his own monastery attire.

Just as Ian turned to leave the small chamber, Hyun-ki rested a hand on Ian’s shoulder. “But I wanted to give you something, it came yesterday.” Ian turned his head to see his friend holding up a white envelope.

His face contorted in curiosity, “What is it?”

“A letter, you dope. I’ll give it to you but only after you go and chop some firewood for tonight’s meal.”

Ian grinned from ear to ear, “Okay, I’ll get right to it.” He grabbed his bokken that was leaning against the wall and shot out of the temple. Chopping wood was his favorite chore, mainly because he could get in some practice with his bokken, his now permanent sword.

With one hand, Ian grabbed a log and tossed it in the air. With his other hand, he would strike at the log with his wooden sword. Sometimes, his sword would pass through the log with ease and sliced it in half; the cut would be cleaner than the cleanest cut performed with a bladed edge. Other times, he would hit and either knock the log into the deep forest right outside the monastery walls which he’d have to retrieve later or the log would burst into many smaller lumps of wood. An hour past and he was just about done. Hyun-ki tried sneaking up on him but the young swordsman heard his clothed footsteps. “Almost.....done!” he shouted after cleaving the last piece of lumber.

Hyun-ki smiled and handed him the unopened letter. Ian opened it slowly, he was enjoying the suspense after his three and a half weeks of chores. As he read it, his cheeks began to burn red. “Is it from your girl friend?” Hyun-ki laughed as he tried to read over Ian’s shoulder.

“No!...” he shouted, hiding the letter around his side.

“Then why are you blushing?”

“I....it’s just.....it’s from a friend from school. I just figured she thought of me as a jerk but apparently, she’s inviting me to her birthday party.” He showed the letter to Hyun-ki who, after reading it, began rubbing his chin which had a bit of hair growing. He adjusted his wire frame glasses and read it again.

“Have I met this S-6 before?”

“I think so, she was at Golden Eagle so maybe.”

Hyun-ki wasn’t the one with a perfect memory so he just handed the letter back, “Well, if you’re planning to go you’d better get ahead on this week’s chores.”

((Does this mean you're giving up on GToA?

Actually I wanted to ask if there was a particular time frame. Is it a year after Anti-Hero101? Three years after SH101? Would be nice to get a few years tossed in there.....not that I was planning to join or anything....well maybe ))

Yeah, I'm familiar with Imageshack and Photobucket. I was thinking about fansites that are also good with hosting images and stuff.

Also, I know there are applications that record stuff on your screen or take pics, just wanted to know if those get you better quality over just [print screen].

...I'm probably gonna have to get a better graphics card for better quality though .

Just wanted a little insight on character pics/screenshots.

-What would be the best way to take ingame pics/any pics of my Co* characters? Just use the [Print Screen] button?

-What settings should be used for the best pics?

-Where is the best place to take screenshots(character creation screen, character select screen, ingame, what zone, etc.)?

And last yet the most important question:

-What is the better site to host the pics? Should I just create my own site or are there some really organized sites out there that would be better/less strenuous?

I ask because I've never tried it before cause I was too lazy but now I have lots of free time so I can put the right effort into it. I want to use the pics to help describe the characters I use in the RPs on this board. Thanks in advance for any help.

No, I think redneck is more along the lines of [EDIT: murdering] the english language. Think something like:

“I thank yer brother bard ma pickup tha uther day. If he don’t change tha all it’s gonna catch far.”

Lol how annoying would it be for someone to RP like that all the time?

Eh, it's expressing a particular speech pattern. It can't *REALLY* be worse than:

"Well I reckin' you'd better skidadle 'fore you get yerself in a heap-a trouble."

Is that somekind of southern accent? Cowboy? Texan? I live in Texas and I know a few friends that have relatives that own ranches and never have I *EVER* heard anyone actually talk like that. Sure, they'd have the accent but words like "Reckon" and stuff is, like, never used.

It's just a form of expressing an accent in an RP, although annoying when you can't make sense of it. I do agree that it takes more skill use accents like that when you RP cause you don't want to repeat phrases over and over. That's just not creative.

Khell, you’re one of the guys I look toward as an example for myself. I try to RP like you(and some of the other experienced RP’ers) to keep myself in check although I tend to break some of the rules anyway. Needless to say, your style is good.

Essex, if you’re a noob at RP’ing, you started out way better than I did. You keep yourself balanced and interesting and you perform well even with all the work you put on yourself. You’ve got, what? 6? 7? characters you keep up with in GTOA and keep everything running quite smooth. I wouldn’t call that noob in any respect.

Shinji, my only grip with your style is it seems kind of random(at least when you first meet someone). You have your characters walk up to random people and just talk with them like when Shinji asked Billyboy if he could hang out with him. Maybe that’s just how your character is though, but that’s the only problem I can see. You keep yourself pretty balanced and entertaining.

Plague, The thing you have to keep in mind always is that an RP is like a cooperative writing project. It's not your story, you're only playing a part in it and you have to be careful not to step on the other writer's toes by avoiding things like commandeering their characters, one-shotting them in fights, and such. If you keep that in mind whenever you write a post for an RP you'll do fine.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, that pretty much says everything you need to know. Another way to look at it is, if someone wasn't sure about your character or their motives,goals, powers or potential would you want that someone to force your character into a plot, easily defeat your character, etc. Pretty much just treat other characters like you want yours to be treated(in a broad sense).

I LOL when I saw two threads that are doing the same thing(and both credited to me). I’m going to pick this one cause you asked for a critique to go along with it. I’m not that great at critiquing though and I’m not good at saying sweet or flattering things but I’ll do my best.

DeviousMe:
The only references I know are your Vyachslav character. Really odd and creative character. It really makes me think and imagine a lot just picturing him/it. His personality makes me wonder though, was he a villain or a hero in his home world. I thought he was a villain but he acts too nice for that in GTOA. In battles, you don’t go all crazy(if that’s a good way to put it). Overall, a pleasure to RP with you.

Burning_Brawler:
The only references I can think of using is Pstorm from SH101. So far, I think you’re afraid to try and describe something with words. Don’t take that the wrong way, I just feel like you’d rather post a pic from the character creator instead of just describing. Sometimes, there’s just not enough costume options in that Char Creator for me. I haven’t really read enough of your stuff though, but are your posts usually really short?

Someone can critique me if they’d like. I know my posts tend to be a bit long, and I often describe my characters doing trivial things(scratching their head, adjusting their glasses, etc), and I suck at names(I spelled my characters name wrong for about 50 pages of one RP, and some names are unoriginal) but I’m not *THAT* bad, right?

Let's see if I can get some links here...

Here's me trying to tell a story, although a bit corny.

Here's one of my favorite posts.

And finally, one that I feel is my better portrayal of a certain personality.

Alot of those really aren't even RPing if you ask me. More like just talking or telling stories.

So what's sparking all this curiosity about how well you(all that have made similar threads) RP? I'm just curious. I don't feel I'm qualified to rate anyone's style but I can tell if someone's *not* doing well.

Just an idea, how about we just consolidate these kind of threads and anyone that wants a critique of their RP style provide a link to a previous post they made. Then everyone would have a reason to read through and post in 1 thread. If you can get enough people to post, you can get more critiques which would lead to fixing any problems that may be in your style.

We all have room to improve and this could be the place to find out what to improve.

Ian Kelly(In RPs he has no hero name but in the game I just called him Quick-Strike)- He carries(or use to) two weapons, a katana and a bokken. During his training to learn to speak and manipulate the elements, one trains with a bokken as a symbol of subordination and respect for the elements(wind, earth, water, fire and lightning). To get the right wood for the bokken, he had to travel to a mountain south of Mt. Yoshino and take a branch of a mystical willow/cherry tree whose bark is a pale white and wood is a deep crimson. Once you complete the training, you are issued a sword with an animal embellishment. Ian’s was made by a skilled smith who was descended from Minamoto Yoshichika with a fearsome tiger on its blade.

To symbolize mastery of the elements, a ceremony takes place were one bathes their bokken and sword side-by-side in a mystical river that flows from the Omine Mountains. This ceremony bonds the sword and its user. This ceremony also imbues the weapons with other abilities.

Tiger Fang- is the name Ian gave his katana. During his ceremony, he focused on fierce swordsmanship so as his sword draws blood it grows hot and cuts enemies easier.

Bokken- although made of wood, it is reenforced with his chakra. Only someone with more powerful and focused chakra can possibly hope to break it. The special wood has a tendency to absorb energies like dark, light, lightning, energy, radiation and fire.

Power Set Name: Psychic Blade
Primary/Secondary/Pool: Primary
Arch-Type: Scrapper

Author’s Notes: I always wanted this set after getting my 1st scrapper to 30. When I first thought of the set, I was thinking ‘Psylocke’ but after really putting thought and imagination into the set, I was getting a sort of ‘Green Lantern’/ ‘Necrid’ vibe because it would make different weapons with psychic energy. The draw animation would have to be nullified and only last for the instance of the attack.

1. Psyblade- Wraps a blade of psychic energy around your hand for the instance of the attack and slashes at a single opponent. This attack does a combination of psychic damage and lethal damage. Has a chance to slow enemy movement speed and recharge.

2. Mental Blade Strike- Creates a katana of psychic energy and slices twice at the enemy. Same animation as Gambler’s Cut. This attack does a combination of psychic and lethal damage, no additional effects.

3. Telekinetic Spike- Creates a large spike in front of you that hits at a slightly longer range and hits a few in a cone area (maximum of 3). This attack does a combination of psychic and lethal damage. Has a chance to slow enemy movement speed and recharge.

4. Concentrate- Increases accuracy to near perfection and greatly boosts the psychic part of your attacks and increases additional effects.

5. Mind Probe- A taunt.

6. Mental Trap- Your character crouches down and puts both hands to the ground and a bear trap clamps around the target’s feet(maybe all in a small AoE?). This ranged attack does only psychic damage, immobilizes and has a chance to slow enemy movement speed and recharge time.

7. Psionic Guillotine- Creates an axe of psychic energy and swing at neck level to deal a devastating blow. This attack does a combination of psychic and lethal damage and has a chance to slow enemy movement speed and recharge. Animation would be like Beheader(is that even an attack? I’m using the really old version of the game manual for names and what-not) from the Battle Axe Tanker set.

8. Piercing Thoughts- You send your thoughts out in a series of painful spines that pierce all around you. This attack does a combination of psychic and lethal damage and has a chance to slow enemy movement speed and recharge. Animation would be either your character crouching down and sends our huge triangular spikes that extend from the character’s body looking like a spikeball/porcupine OR just use the ugly Spine Burst animation.

9. Telekinetic Sword Slash- You create a broadsword of psychic energy and strikes your enemy upward, dealing lots of damage. This attack does a combination of psychic and lethal damage. Has a chance to slow enemy movement speed and recharge time as well as knock enemy up. Animation would be like Disembowel(that’s the Broadsword knock up attack right? Never made a Broadsword Scrapper, only katana).

Power Set Name: Psychic Armor
Primary/Secondary/Pool: Secondary
Arch-Type: Scrapper

Author’s Notes: I didn’t want to have my psychic blade set to be lonely so I made a matching secondary. Unfortunately, I had to come up with something that isn’t too similar to any other defensive set, still be somewhat effective but isn’t too powerful. I came up with something that has more inherent powers rather than toggles and clicks.

1. Telepathic Aura- You cover yourself with an aura of telepathic waves that penetrate any minds around you, giving you the ability to predict their melee attacks and giving you the time to dodge them. +Def vs melee attacks. This power is always on and costs no endurance.

2. Telekinetic Waves- You send out telekinetic waves that alter the path of projectile attacks. +Def vs ranged attacks. This power is always on and costs no endurance.

3. Strong Minded- You reenforce your mind with psychic training to protect yourself from other psychics that try to invade your mind. Also, your strong mind allows you to disperse certain energies with telekinesis. You get good defense and resistance to psychic damage and a slight resistance to energy, negative energy and electric. This power is always on and costs no endurance.

4. Psychic Chainmail- You create a powerful armor of telekinetic energy that decreases damage from weapons and bullets but takes much concentration to maintain. This toggle gives good +res to leathal and smashing but has a high endurance cost and very long recharge.

5. Mind’s Eye- When you sleep or are in some way incapacitated, the psychic eye of your mind opens, giving you a chance to react even without consciousness. This power gives you a very small amount of +def to all forms of attack but while asleep, stunned or disoriented you gain a very large bonus to defense. This power is always on and costs no endurance.

6. Mirror of the Mind- You use your strong psychic powers and powerful mind to break away from the pains of any form of suppression and reflects it upon your enemies. This power removes sleep, stun, immobilize, hold and fear effects from the user and places it on those in a small AoE around you(of the same magnitude that it was on you). This is a click power that can be used while under status effects like a Break-Free and also leaves you resistant to such effects for a time.

7. Diligent Mind- Any form of power that attempts to enslave your mind and body will trigger your hidden power, increasing the rate at which you heal and recover. This power slightly increases your regeneration and recovery rate but gives you a large bonus to regen and recovery while immobilized, slept or held. This power is always on and costs no endurance.

8. Swift Thoughts- You are more intune with your psychic abilities, allowing you to think more quickly and more clearly. You gain a bonus to your recharge times and recovery rate as well as a slight resistance to immob, sleep, hold, fear, stun, knockback and disorient. This power is always on and costs no endurance.

9. Telekinetic Armor- You create a set of plate armor made of psychic energy that deflects most attacks. Any energy, negative energy, fire, ice, electric or psychic attacks you receive damage from will restore a small amount of endurance. This armor is a toggle and only costs a moderately high amount of endurance, but is still a hindrance on your mind. All other powers’ endurance costs are increased.

My master however from my training...theres no doubt in my mind. Level 200 SS, martial arts, mind controller with super reflexes and Regen secondary. I've seen my master split 12 blocks of pure cement with just his two index fingers. The guy could easily one shot Statesmen easy.

Not to be rude but, lets see him hold up a toppling skyscraper. Superman could do it and he's what? A lvl 80-100 SS/Inv. I just think you're underestimating what a comic book hero is. They're suppose to do things no human could possibly ever do, like move planets and stuff. I don't doubt your trainer is a master matial artist though but seriously, lvl 200 SS!?
