[OOC Board] Eternal Galaxy: Shards of Starlight - Part I

Actually, I just thought of something. Chief vs The Reaper. Now that would be a match for the century.
Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

@Mima
They both have very similar abilities.
They are both fast and skilled.
Reaper seems to be more focused on offense, while John is more focused on defense.
Would Reaper be able to break through John's armor, or would John be able to outlast Reaper and eventually defeat him?
It would be a very long fight...

Aye.
And I'll be honest, my story comes equipped with OP characters that you could challenge and possibly defeat depending on how.
Erebos
Aetheron
Aion (when he realizes who he is and obtains the sword Iris. Which is...at the bitter end.)
And the two unlikely candidates:
Nero and Cicero.
All of them except Aion are sort of like...antibodies built into the story. They're OP but they only make like...a few appearances. Nero is just a blundering fool that has a sort of alter ego. Cicero is just in the story for no apparent reason whatsoever.

The Reaper's many weapons are actually meant to break through heavy armor and shields, and for non-armored targets, well, they die. John might be able to take a few kunai or an arrow, but once his shields go down, those arrows, kunai, and it's scythe will simply tear through his armor.

@Mima
Then he'll just have to play on his speed and reaction time.
I can imagine that Reaper is fast, but probably not faster than a Spartan-II in Spartan Time with an AI boosting his speed further.:p
We also have to take John's versatility into account (strategy, strength, on-board hacker, and a hint of luck).
I wouldn't count him out just yet. ;)
What exactly are the specs for the arrows and scythe?

It would be interesting to see what these two powerhouses would do when they meet one of the villains of the story for part I.
@S121
So what do ya think? How would ya want John to start?
specifically where?

I was thinking that he would possibly appear out of a Slipspace portal, near either a fleet, or near one of the planets.
You can decide where he appears. It is supposed to be random for him, so what better way than to let someone else choose a location for him to appear.
Just remember that he has to appear somewhere in space, not nose-first into a planet.:p

Maybe he can actually meet The Reaper when he comes in. Honestly, The Reaper probably wouldn't fight John, it would actually somewhat respect him.
Also, normally, in speed factor, John would be faster, though if The Reaper overcharges it's suit, it'd probably be equal, if not faster.

Ahh, I see.
They both seem to have a sort of overcharge factor.
How does Reaper's suit work? Is it organic and fleshy, or synthetic? What's it capable of?
It kind of makes me wonder what method it uses to overcharge and how it speeds up Reaper's reaction time and speed.
If it's organic, then it could be that the suit becomes a part of Reaper. It could have something similar to John's nervous system, super-conductive dendrites, but that also might leave it vulnerable to electricity. If it's organic, then it could have the ability to regenerate, but pound-for-pound, isn't as effective as nano-muscle.
It's all interesting to think about.

Nexion it is then, near the "planet" (which appears more like a nebula) Nexus.
He'll be able to find the City in the Sky, where Avonna is.
Avonna is the head of the Venturian Council, and is treated as a sort of empress. She's the last living Papillian, a race known for being able to keep the peace of a situation, like a mediator.
