character development Devaan's Training ground

[Nohadon he/him]

Devaan stopped and turned.

"You want to fight?" He asked

"You really want to fight?"

His body glowed brighter than it had before. 

"Fine then" He spat

"Let's dance" He breathed in, and the glow of his aons combined with the iridescent glow of stormlight, enhanced by his breath aura. He beckoned Hellbent forward.

[+Ark1002]

Hellbent screamed, a scream of delight. He tapped luck, huge amounts of luck, sucked in stormlight, summoned Shardplate, and surgebinded straight at Devaan, lashing forty times, and lightweaving a thousand of him, all flying towards him from a slightly different angle. Each had real weight, and would damage, inside was knives, lashed toward shim at equal speeds. He could lightweave sounds. They all screamed, a demonic, raptor-like screech. A screech that would chill the bones of Ruin himself, a screech that would make the most battle-hardened soldier run to his mother. And this demonic scream echoed, not just from him, but from a thousand of him. I AM FLAMEBORN!

[Nohadon he/him]

Devaan felt the screech. He saw the attack coming. What could he do? There weren't any more tricks up his sleeve to take care of this. He should just accept his fa-

no.

Devaan tapped electrum. Determination surged through his body.

He shuffled his deck and drew the card he placed on top mid-shuffle

Joker.

He tapped it and a thin white ethereal chain linked Devaan and Hellbent.

The spirit chain had been complete. Devaan danced among the storm of knives and hellbents. Stormlight healing his wounds, his Aon cloaking stopping any serious damage.

But Hellbent, on the other hand.

He was feeling the full force of every wound Devaan took. There was no blocking or dodging the effects of the chain. There was only who could last longer.

Quote

So the spirit chain is a mixture of a couple aons that when combined and set with the right modifiers, make this thing. How it works is any damage you make to me the attack is also dealt to you and vice versa. The damage works off your defences though, so If I was attacked with my Aon cloaking up with a knife. The knife would bounce off my skin but the attacker with the spirit chain would take the damage as if the knife hit him instead. Another thing to note is that the chain does not copy over any healing effects. There are ways around it. Good luck.

OoC here for just a sec: Merging with the Phoenix is going to make a battle of attrition not a particularly wise thing to do, it has around 20x the healing factor than an ordinary gold compounder or Knight Radiant can produce.

Wait, did hellbent get all the phoenix's abilities?

And how? Like I know he merged with the Pheonix but how?

Not sure what Arks plan here was but technically it does have a spike that would render it somewhat similar to a spren, and it did tell him that it accepted his words. 

But yeah, not sure what Ark was actually planning here.

 I wonder what would happen if the hated one attempted to spren-bond the Pheonix.

 

[Voidus]

She would politely explain that while she understands and appreciates the hated ones offer, she is not at this moment, able to accept him as a bond partner. She would note that this is not necessarily a reflection on him or his abilities as a bond partner, but that she simply doesn't feel he is a correct fit for this bond at the present time. She would then wish him a good day, and offer to validate his parking if needed.


Or possibly incinerate him and everyone within 5 miles into a pile of ash.

Could go either way really.

I want to upvote that so many times.

Wait, is the Pheonix dead? If so, then maybe the hated one and her can have a happy reunion in the Beyond thread.

 

[Voidus]

Nope.
Last I checked Hellbent teleported her to the Boundless Worlds. Which works for me because the only other thing that would make sense for her to do would involve destroying half a continent, and we only just fixed it again after the sdw.

 

[I think I am here. he/him]

Quote

Ugh. I just hate getting massive continents destroyed. So inconvenient .

 

[Voidus]

Quote

I know. The dust just gets everywhere.

It is just impossible to get that out of a carpet once it's been fused with it at an atomic level due to a continental explosion.

Ikr?! Not to mention it makes the water taste funny. I don’t like my water tasting funny.

And of course we can’t forget the millions of people obliterated.

All that meat could have gone to a good cause...

Yeah, that last part would be particularly irritating for her. Nothing worse than killing a continent and then realizing you accidentally rendered all the meat there inedible.
 I mean what is even the point of murdering cities full of people if you don't get to eat all of them afterwards?  So wasteful.

Hellbent doesn't have quite that level bond right now, though he could very well get there soon. Right now it doesn't give him powers, beyond extreme heat resistance. I will explain more in detail later.

Hellbent felt the pain. But then he remembered. He had a spike in his pocket, stored in blood. He pulled it out and stabbed it into himself. He had gold on him, stored with healing from the days he was a gold compounder via spikes. Now, he could tap it. He couldn't compound, but he could tap it. So he promptly shot himself in the head. Then stabbed himself in various lethal locations. He also cut little slits through his neck over and over again. Then, tapping lots, stabbed himself with a shardblade. Then, nearly out of gold, he stopped. And drew an aon for fire on his face. This aon was hugely amplified. Directly on his face, a huge storm of fire burned of his flesh, boiled his face, and made him generally dead. Except for one thing. The phoenix bonding had done something to him. The fire didn't hurt him more than a sunburn. Let's see how Devaan deals with that.

As I mentioned earlier, the damage works off of defences, most of those attacks won't even scratch Devaan's Aon cloaking. 

He laughed as he felt the dull thud of a bullet bouncing off of his head. He felt what seemed like scraping against his skin. And then an Aon flashed in front of his face

Oh hell.

Fire surrounded him he was slowly burning up in the storm of fire. His Aons cooled him down but not enough. 

It's Time

damnation you hellbent.

Devaan drew Atius from it's sheath. He no longer had sethramir, that was max's but this would work just as well. Atius transformed into Simirtas. dousing the flames with water. 

Stormlight and Feruchemical Gold healing him. Devaan stood up, and smiled at Hellbent.

"My turn" 

He deactivated his cloaking for a split second, a plunged Atius into his chest, just next to his heart.

He immediately started to heal the wound. 

But Hellbent.

He could see it now, That body was rapidly ageing, a side affect of Atius wounding someone. Devaan had 5th heightening, nullifying the effects.

[+Ark1002]

Quote

Theoretically the aons wouldn't help for the fire, as he carved the aons into his skin. So a lot more damage. Also, aging won't work well.

Hellbent felt his body age. He concentrated, and became young again. "I can change my body. Give up."

[Nohadon he/him]

“So it’s the old fashioned way then”

What did you do to kill the Phoenix on taldain?

That was different, you had Riathor and Akrasia

Yeah, but he’s weaker.

You drew it to a chamber and ripped out it’s spikes one by one with steel pushes and duralumin

ah.

Devaan tapped his Aon tia ring until it was dry, teleporting him and hellbent into the Canton of Combat.

Check the Canton thread to continue the fight.

Tena poofed into existence with a Tia card. These things sure do come in handy, Tena thought, especially when you have over thirty of them. She strolled in a circle for a moment, then flipped over onto her hands, one of which held a boxing. She Flared steel and Steelpushed herself up into the air, flying maybe a hundred feet up, then fell nearly that full distance before carefully letting herself back down with a lighter Push against the same coin. She landed in a roll, then came to her feet and dropped another coin, hurling herself to the nearest pine tree. “Hold things,” she Awakened her mistcloak, envisioning her cloak wrapping around a beam, as she hit the tree feet-first, her shirt turning from blue to gray. The lengths of fabric immediately grabbed onto branches and the trunk of the tree as her momentum threw them forward. Tena turned, having some room to breath, and leaned off the tree, her heels holding her in that position. 

[Nohadon he/him]

Silphio saw someone in a mist cloak leaning against the tree, immediately a name came to his mind when he saw Tena.

Tena, robbed Devaan's vault, she was in the seven day war, do not engage unless drunk.

"Hey" He called, floating over. 

"What's up"

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

“Oh, hey,” Tena said to Silphy (nickname), “aren’t you one of Devy’s boys? You look like one. In which case, consider yourself safe from me. I owe Devy for not killing me when I got the Shadestone.”

Is this thread still relevant now that era 2 is over, cause this seems like a place I'd like to spend some time practicing.
