I'll wait till tomorrow before I post to see if anyone else wants to get anything in, I think our fight could be considered fast enough so that it moves a little faster than anything else I'm working on. (It is an Assassin battle after all.

[Cherry Lover]

Hmm, Bloble, I see your guy is torturing a vampire "For Science!"

I have a feeling Sakura etc. would be rather squicked-out by the idea....

[Bloble]

It's not even for science. My guy's a hacker. His knowledge of biology is limited to what he learned in school (he was a good student, but still, high school education only). On the other hand, I need to show how EVIIIIIIL he is without kidnapping a PC. Besides, it's good for setting up later encounters. Rumours spreading of a man abducting vampires? Someone's bound to investigate, and chances are that someone will be a player character.

[Cherry Lover]

Why is he experimenting on vampires?

Also, unless he gets hold of Forest or one of our characters, I don't think most of the PCs are going to care about a bunch of vampires going missing. They're not our friends, and the vampires in general don't have a good reputation here. Experimenting on and torturing them is a bit much, yes, but kidnapping them in itself isn't a massive issue unless the vampire being kidnapped is known to the main characters, because the main characters so far have seen little indication that most vampires are anything other than evil.

Sakura would be a little wary of such a broad designation (as would be Rider, but she couldn't give a fuck because Sakura isn't a vampire and nor is any of her family), but I doubt they're going to be bothered enough to risk their lives looking into it given that vampires are mostly ruled by Frost, who is a dick.

Also the bulk of the vampires you'll find here are probably the Blade type.

As in, UV radiation delivered through technological sources will burn them as readily as the sun.

[Cherry Lover]

Standard artificial lamps don't produce (much) UV light, though. They don't burn hot enough.

Feel free to kidnap Satoshi Bloble, it's good character moments and plus he's immortal

Nice idea, but it wouldn't work. My guy isn't strong enough to pull off something like that with what he has IC, and he doesn't have any cell that could hold Satoshi for longer than a minute. Maybe if it was Taiga or Kiyoshi I'd see it happening, but otherwise it's gonna be difficult.

[Cherry Lover]

Well, kidnapping Kiyoshi and experimenting on him means that Rider will have great fun performing her own experiments about how to cause a ghost the maximum possible amount of pain....

It's not something I'd really want to see happen, though, he's just a kid. Sakura would work better in that respect, honestly, but she could probably also escape.

[lantzblades]

I think the hype that Arch spouts has you confused bloble, Satoshi can be caught just like anyone else

...Dude. It's pretty obvious Satoshi can't be kidnapped unless he wants to be, something you've made obvious multiple times. And I'm pretty sure you've stated it. If he doesn't want to go he's got the strength and abilities to prevent it from happening as pointed out on his fucking character sheet.

Lawrence will be right the fuck behind her on that one. The Driver's feeling a little hungry, and this ghost is obviously not something that can be left among the living anymore...

Sure he can be caught, but I'm pretty sure no normal prison is going to be able to hold him for more than about 5 seconds. Especially with people like Tsukasa about.

Well, I don't think it's true that he can't possibly be kidnapped, but I do think you need a rather more powerful character to do so.

Well, if he kidnaps and experiments on Kiyoshi, he's fucked. Rider is normally held back somewhat by Sakura when it comes to torturing bad guys, but if they've harmed Sakura's children then she's not going to be remotely inclined to protect them....

[lantzblades]

First of all Arch it is not stated on his sheet therefore it is pointed out BY his character sheet if you were right, which you aren't.

[YOLF]

Well, first off, I can say based on previous sources that he can't be caught by a surprise attack, since you once stated Raul wouldn't be able to off him like that because Satoshi's contract with the elements would tell him it was coming.

And given his already tremendous fighting power normally, his numerous weapons and other stuff, the rider arm, and how he is shown to react to threats, it's safe to say it is ridiculously difficult to abduct or kidnap him.

Even with magic or a magical trap, it'd be notoriously difficult, because he has Magic Resistance A.

[Cherry Lover]

Yeah, I don't think capturing Satoshi is impossible, but I do think that he is way too powerful for Bloble's character to be able to, and even if he could I don't think he is going to be easy to contain. Rider is the same, I think she's too powerful to be captured and actually holding her prisoner is quite difficult (Satoshi got away with it because she wanted to be his prisoner, if she'd wanted to escape she could have).
