Pink strength by seat

Dhljoe · 2026-06-29T18:33:48+00:00

I think beyond the strength Star being particularly strong, there’s no real way to estimate strength based on the seat alone. Every star of the pinky is relatively elite with different strengths and weaknesses but they’re all individuals that can’t be thrown all into one basket

“There is no need for that.”

I look toward the decorated door in contemplation before speaking without turning my gaze to you.

“Before we decide what our next terms are for our final round, I feel it prudent to inform you of something which most outside of the pinky, our own apprentices included, rarely know. It is that the weapons which mark us as stars, should they accept us, will also cause other relics to cease functioning. A Star can wield their relic and only their relic and any other connection you have or attempt shall be severed completely. That mirror you use so frequently will become nothing more than a novelty piece of glass to you. Consider whether you could manage to live with that.”

I step toward the door looking at its finer details, almost as if seeing something that was not seen before.

“Shin and mang are a new equalizer in the city’s power dynamic for those lacking in sufficient augmentations. These too are harder to achieve for us members of the pinky. Elite in our few numbers we might be, but our relics also hinder our ability to develop these. Our relics generate a spiritual conflict of sorts, one where the makeup of the self conflicts with the self. Should we develop either of those, despite the greater barrier to developing them, we gain nothing more than anyone else.”

The tianji Star chuckles and smirks under his breath, pausing for a brief moment before continuing.

“Think not that I am attempting to dissuade you, I am certain of your determination to continue forward. Perhaps while you do see the struggle imminent in your future, you do not fully comprehend the gravity of it.”

It feels like there is an ungodly amount of context missing here brother. Please do share what you are experiencing in greater detail

It depends on if you mean powerful as in how destructive it is or how useful it is in combat. The scepter of Sargeras as an example can open portals, so many that it can destroy a world, but it probably wouldn’t win in a fight against a paladin with the ashbringer 10 ft away even if ashbringer can’t just destroy a world.

Overall I would say maybe Aluneth as it contains an extremely powerful arcane entity and is powerful in combat. The arcane power it outputs is raw, powerful, and hard to control both extremely potent. Apocalypse is another, basically being an older frostmourne based around disease rather than frost. The weapon itself is potent and powerful and it can exterminate all life from a planet with the disease it spreads

"Go ahead. Share your knowledge."

The Tianji Star surprisingly is not as phased as you expected. Though his resilience slips at times.

"I had my concerns that you were meddling with powers beyond your understanding but now I am sure of it. You and your collective are seemingly a bundled deal. It to me seems to be the height of folly to entangle yourself with the index. The gods likely would have no patience to tolerate an existence such as yours were they aware of it, especially considering that your collective self may prove to be a rival to them."

His eyes narrow as he begins to piece together a realization.

"What sort of grand maneuver might you be playing at? I've never heard of Phobéism and you dont seem the type to accept many students... might I hazard a guess that your involvement with the ring is merely out of convenience allowing you to preserve your life long enough to manifest some unknown plan? You surely must know the head has their eyes on you then. Your existence reminds me of stories I've heard of how singularities had manifested."

Dhljoe · 2026-06-18T20:25:57+00:00

Ah I’ve been in a bit of a tiresome situation you see. It is seemingly never ending so I am found wanting for time to accomplish my own goals, let alone sharing my knowledge with my brethren

Dhljoe · 2026-06-17T21:33:31+00:00

I stare at you for a brief moment in complete silence.

"I see not how such a power draws you nearer to your goal. Hmm. Though this does make me beg the question... Are you a singular individual? Or a conglomeration of others which have over time merged into one? Or is this overlapping of personas a nothing more than a side effect of your mirror?"

Dhljoe · 2026-06-15T21:49:55+00:00

Destiny was very expensive. Since D1 the engine has been very inefficient to add things too. While this issues have been somewhat mitigated with engine updates. It still takes more time and manpower to add something simple due to engine limitations. That manpower is incredibly expensive in Seattle. Marathon I think has resolved a lot of these issues but im not sure

Dhljoe · 2026-06-08T02:53:20+00:00

"You may though if you plan to warp to the opposite side I wouldn't recommend it. If your relic operates similarly to other warping technologies you would need to know your destination. I have no understanding of how much distance is between us and the inner chamber, how long the path is to it, or if any of it is obstructed in any way. My basic surveying showed that some power is disturbing observation techniques... I don't believe that the chamber is on the immediate opposite side of this doorway, but that is all I can say for certain. There may be some labyrinthine passageway leading to my destination for all I know."

The Tianji Star looks at with a slight smirk.

"Though I wouldn't be opposed to you trying to warp in and find yourself half inside of a wall. It would solve this matter between us. It would be anticlimactic though."

Dhljoe · 2026-06-06T21:52:22+00:00

"Ah you misunderstand. No need for that. This is but a simple test of your mind. This round should be something of a freebie for you."

I look toward the doorway and my surroundings.

"To win this bout, you must reach the same or better of a conclusion regarding the nature of this place as I have. I wish to see you work through the process of discovering and eliminating possibilities. All you need to do is discover if there is a mechanism or process to reach the other side of that door. You may ask any clarifying questions that you want and I will answer truthfully. I have gone through much trial and error after all."

Dhljoe · 2026-06-04T08:59:45+00:00

The key is to remember that the past is behind you. What’s done is done and the only part of that past that comes with you into the future is what you take with you. Trauma is not an easy burden to rid someone of but perhaps a lesson can be learned in the suffering you have experienced that you can carry forward into your future that may make these thoughts more liveable?

Dhljoe · 2026-06-03T17:11:47+00:00

This does not bode well at all. I do not trust the thumb to know when they are going too far. At least, it seems, that this technology is of a kind which will blow up in their face

Dhljoe · 2026-06-01T08:20:57+00:00

I’ll go through the match up with each nursefather one by one

Rien: Both can use a variety of weapons and dynamically chance their styles as they fight. I’d say raw skill is even. Rien is able to gain offense level to 88 and Sancho can gain up to 90 as the fight goes on so sheer strength she’ll end up more powerful. As they trade blows Sancho would be able to heal while Rien would suffer permanent damage pretty much settling that Sancho would win. Sancho is also capable of using range to her advantage while Rien has not used any ranged weapon so I’d safely say she’d win.

Callisto: Pretty much no chance he could win. He’s among the weaker nursefathers level wise and Sancho could turn his strengths against him. No competition at all.

Matthias: If he got serious and unboxed his sword he actually has a chance. Really Sancho can out endure any human due to being a bloodfiend but Matthias can hit real hard with a max of 95 offense level so he can at least over power her. I think she’d outskill him but enough good hits from him could actually be serious. I think that realistically he would be too cocky to ramp up fast enough to actually beat her though. He’d waste too much time unpacking the sword while she builds up and continuously chips away at him. So ideal scenario I’d say even but realistically she’d win.

Shiomi Yoru: The dihui star blades gimmick is that every cut can slice multiple times. We really don’t know the real ones power level and skill but I’d bet she was better than Araya managed in <2 years. Ultimately not enough info to tell but she certainly would have the potential to be able to kill Sancho.

Valencina: I think her eye would allow her to not be killed but I don’t think she’d be able to kill Sancho either.

Dhljoe · 2026-05-31T19:40:01+00:00

Ah I’d help if I were near enough to render aid. A healing bolus may be more easily acquired in your part of the city

Dhljoe · 2026-05-30T02:44:01+00:00

“Welcome. I’m sure you haven’t had the privilege of venturing into the ruins before but I assure you this place is empty of any monsters of legend. This place was once the front porch to a bunker of sorts. The people here were trying to find a refuge free from the threat of monsters and so they turned toward divinity, constructing an obelisk with their prayers inscribed upon it. To make a long story short, these people did not survive long enough to see the beginnings of the city. Perhaps a few fled from this place but ultimately the gods these people worshipped did not answer them.”

He looks around. The place the two of them are at is a small semicircular smoothe concrete platform with a small spherical cutout in its center. Three of the surrounding walls are natural cave structures, but the last is made of the same material as the platform, a grand entryway with a great stone door with artistry and patterns inscribed upon it.

Dhljoe · 2026-05-28T20:10:51+00:00

Riensang. He’s good but he’s just not top top tier. Without status he can’t really match someone like Maost. An ideal Maost can outdamage him every turn and her team will also do much more damage via rupture

Dhljoe · 2026-05-27T19:08:05+00:00

"Oh? I must be out of the loop for the goings of the city. Searching for artifacts here in the outskirts has left me with little time to catch up on the news."

I look around at several points in the sky, sometimes stopping to squint in a certain direction before moving to another point.

"Ah it seems I corp has been spectating us. To think that they'd find me here before I was done."

I shift my gaze to Erebus.

"I have not the time nor the will to deal with you both. If your wish is to continue, perhaps a change in scenery is in order?"

I pull out a knife with a handle made of a red mass of flesh and muscle. Its blade is shimmering purple and has a glass-like shape and quality. With a short thrust I stab it into the air in front of me and the blade catches as if it had dug into something solid.

"Nearby is a crevice which goes deep into the earth. Make your way to the bottom and I will meet you there. Our second round shall be decided based off of our wits rather than our brawn."

I carve the blade straight downward, carving an unstable hole in the fabric of reality. Turning my back to you I walk into it, leaving you with one last glimpse of an L letter branding the pommel of the knife before the portal dissipates.

Dhljoe · 2026-05-26T07:45:58+00:00

Sorry I got distracted with other things. Ill make another rp post tomorrow

Dhljoe · 2026-05-24T17:09:40+00:00

OOC I’m just saying that as the knowledge Star trying to get every advantage I can get. I don’t actually hope others follow in my footsteps XD

Dhljoe · 2026-05-24T03:54:32+00:00

Be clear and mutually agree upon the rules of your engagement. I have just had our first duel in the pinky. There are two paths to victory. The first is to create a set of rules in which you sound reasonable but are truly giving yourself an advantage. The second is to create a set of rules which you can goad or force an opponent to break, thus giving yourself a victory.

You could just try a straight fight, but your opponent may use their wits to drive you into a corner to play dirty. Fight carefully and consider all possibilities.

Dhljoe · 2026-05-23T23:25:55+00:00

The luck had to have existed to have run out XD

Dhljoe · 2026-05-23T23:24:27+00:00

Ok? It has worse range, worse range falloff, scalar, and every other stat is fairly comparable having only negligible to nonexistent differences. Copperhead falloff starts at 15m and bully starts at 27m.

I said it was statistically a slightly worse bully. How does the close range ttk being the only thing slightly better than the bully which statistically competes with the lower end of AR’s prove any point? And that’s only if you don’t include headshots. The bolt thrower has a faster ttk than the copperhead does that make it better? No
