@asmodeus_prime: I haven't even looked at his bio, but just by the name and those words part of me kinda wishes I could throw Trinity at this guy.
But even if I were totally game for the idea half I'm still hesitant to write high-powered characters in fights.
I seem to have found a resurgence in energy.
It's pretty understandable. A high powered character can very often trash an event. I've seen quite a few events here to be honest, have people drop out because of Power Creep, Power Seep. Other people go into a fight against a high tier expecting this to happen.
When, it doesn't. For some people, they don't wanna bend over and nerf themselves. People don't bend over when their character clearly wouldn't be phased by certain attacks. Other times, people just get no sold or don't really bother approaching because their character logically wouldn't. So then they just drop out and such. They go into fights expecting people to nerf themselves or for high tiers.
This character is functionally a glass cannon. Kind of like a squishy wizard. A sort of glass cannon. Like Cyclops, Storm or Dr. Strange. He can fight with high tiers but still be harmed by low tiers. Even then,his power does fluctuate with roughly how many worshippers/followers/people who have faith in him there are. He sees earth as a very easy place to spread his influence and wants to take advantage of it. His defense is however generally high and his powers can be very Hax in some ways (especially his telekinesis since he can grab anything he sees..) He is high tier but is something meant to be combated by either another high tier or just a street level who can exploit him. Or is just clever enough to fight him in ways that are not direct. But, I also plan for him to be generally tactical.
I mean, he's a guy who can deflect a planet busting attack with a mirror. But he can still get shot. I actually planned on giving him a magitech barrier against FTL, that won't work on things slower because it would repel things like ordinary light that he needs to see and stuff like that? Why? Cause magic :P (Though of course it will sound better.)
I wanted to make an event that truly can encompass a wide variety of people. I wanna try to do this by thinking of more objectives for people to do than the typical formula that consists of "Fight and fodderize mooks, than boss fight." Everyone kind of complains "street levelers aren't really worth a damn" because most every event is more about overpowering people than anything else. For example, Maverick as a whole isn't exactly super high tier and aren't anything compared someone like thee champion. But they are arguably more useful when it comes to something like actually saving people. Or when Bradshaw got paired up with FlashFire, a FTL speedster with moonbusting punches. Couldn't do anything to save surkit from a device he was hooked up from that'd kill him if he wasn't taken off it properly.
Though, not every case is extreme, I want events to have different, important objectives for everyone to do aside from "Beat up the mooks, then beat up the boss." I remember the Iceland empire claim was actually so ideal for street levelers that high tiers showed up, tried the brute force stuff and made things worse. The same thing could be done again and I figure I should try something similar here :P
There is no creature more terrifying than a truly just man.
