OOC: What to expect when fighting Karla
Karla Gameplay
Obviously, the gameplay in Fire Emblem doesn’t give us a very realistic depiction on how the characters fight. So for the purpose of RP, I go by character dialogue in cutscenes to get some idea. Like these examples…
Bartre confronts Karla - Here, Karla mentions the time when she knocked out Bartre with her very first stroke. Note that Bartre is quite the muscular man, roughly twice Karla’s size. That should give you an idea of how strong Karla is.
Dart tells Karel about the Princess of Swords - Here we know he’s talking about Karla. Whether Karel knows that seems to be debatable. According to this, Karla slices her foes with ease and then disappears.
Karla/Vaida supports - Just the beginning is relevant here, where Vaida tells what she’s heard: That Karla claims countless victories at the coliseums, and no one can even touch her.
So from these above examples, the canon practically makes Karla out to be almost invincible. But for RP, I consider this, as well as other factors.
For one, Karla is completely human, with no super powers of any kind. Also, the foes she’s beaten in the coliseums are also human. Even the magic users aren’t much different in that regard. They have no speed or strength enhancing abilities; they just cast spells and/or heal.
The other is that many characters from other canons are super powered, either with enhanced strength or speed. Obviously they would have the advantage over Karla in this regard. But given how easily she beats the normal, unpowered human opponents, I imagine she’d put up a hell of a fight against the superpowered opponents as well.
So if your character has a fight with Karla, and you want to discuss things, you can either reply here, or contact me on AIM (Crypt58), or plurk (![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
