Hey, @lunarlors34 and I are looking for two people to verse in an unranked match, we would be using low-powered characters (higher physical abilities and a small amount of magic) in a snowy forest setting.



This would be our first match and we're just looking to get some experience.

Low powered, semi-realistic fights are not a bad way to start. A few things. We tend to use a version of T1 Eden era as our platform for fighting. If you don't want to use that you should hash out the rules you are planning to use as it cuts down on arguments and keeps the fight going smoothly. Secondly, as Vordy stated, having characters that are of the same "relative" power is a good thing, so were I you, I would have Vordy give each character a once over. He has experience, understands how things should balance out and is a good guy overall to learn from.

Thirdly, competitive fights are different than the run of the mill fights in a normal role-play. Your ability to write clearly, concisely and describe your attack without ambiguity are tantamount. Also think of it as a chess match and try to see the fight and plan several moves ahead.

Good Luck
1x Thank Thank

Name: Jazmine (no family name)

Age:Frozen at 17

Gender:Female

Race: A human girl who has been turned into a vampire.

Weapons(s): A silver cane, known as Leonidas, ending in a lions head, which also serves as a sheath for a hidden
sword made of blessed steel. The cane had been given to a high ranking knight named Artorius, after he retired
from service, as a gift from a bishop in honour of his years of service and the amount of undead he had slain,
however after an encounter with Jazmine in which he kicked her into the snow and called her scum, she had decided
that the cane would look much better in her hands, she broke into his estate in the night and murdered him in his
sleep with the very weapon she had come to steal, before making off with various fine garments and valuables,
including her second weapon an enchanted golden pocket watch, this watch has the power to return to its owner from
wherever it lands and is strung on an unbreakable chain which can increase or decrease in length as well as turn
razor sharp upon its owners command. She also possesses the trademark vampire weapons of retractable claws and fangs.

Abilities/Powers: She possesses greatly increased strength, stamina, agility and an enhanced healing factor as a
result off her Vampirism. She also has a Insanity Form, where her mind is clouded by darkness and her personality
changes but she gains control of nearby shadows, being able to turn them solid and direct them as she pleases, it
is yet unclear why this happens, as she has no memories of the event.

Talent(s): After years spent on the run and being hunted, jazmine has learned the skills of a master thief, she can
blend in with the background, move silently and pick pockets or locks with ease. She can also tailor her own
clothes and carry out repairs with a bare minimum of supplies, she does not often make garments for others though
as she is not confident in her work.

Personality: Her cold exterior and passive-aggressive mannerisms hide a lonely soul, crying out for a friend or
comrade, it is not easy to gain her trust or have her open up to you but once she places faith in someone she
would do anything for them. She is also very forgetful and tends to daydream and get distracted easily, also
despite her natural balance and agility while shes concentrating, the majority of the time she is more than a
little clumsy.

Biography: She woke up lying on a riverbank some years ago (she doesnt bother keeping track of time), with no memory
and injuries that should have been lethal, but as she passed in and out of concsiousness, she noticed how quickly her
injuries were knitting themselves back together, without leaving so much as a scar. Once her wounds were fully healed
and she had regained the strength to stand and walk she noticed a burning sensation that seemed not to be hunger, thirst
or lust but a combination of the three. She wandered through the wilderness clutching the tattered remains of her
clothes around herself until she ran into a woodsman out cutting lumber. He took her back to his cabin and fed her,
bathed her and gave her clean clothes but this didnt satisfy her burning hunger. In the night she lost control and
killed him, draining his blood. Early on in her vampire days, she had trouble killing humans and would cry herself
to sleep more nights than not. But as time passed she came to view herself as seperate from the humans that feared
and despised and found it easier and easier to justify killing them for food, profit or simply pleasure. She spent
years honing her fighting skills whilst trying to avoid or kill any bounty hunters that came after her.

Extras: Jazmine is short and slim, at 5"3' and weighing only 47kgs. She has waist length silver hair, sometimes held in an
elegant bun, with one of a number of extravagant pins that she has stolen over the years. She has eyes that range from a
deep blood red around the outside of the iris before shifting through hues to a bright crimson around the pupil. Her eyes
turn purple with shadowy black swirls coursing through them when she enters her Insanity form. She generally dresses in
fine dresses while around her house, but while she is out she can be seen in a tight fit, blue, black or red waistcoat
with long coat-tails that reach her ankles, embroidered with elegant and detailed patterns in gold, white or black thread
respectively, tight white linen pants, a tight fit tailored white blouse beneath the waistcoat, high black or brown leather
boots and black or white kid leather gloves with more embroidery. She will always be wearing a necklace and some combination
of rings and bracelets, although she wears only a sparse amount of jewellery at a time. She also has three piercings in the
bottom of each ear and two at the top, as well as one in the left side of her nose.

Name: James Luther Lumin

Age: 19

Weapons: Reinbōrūn
A sword which James purchased from a weapon shop which has 7 different coloured runes on it, each rune doing something different:
Red-Returns to the owner
Blue Rune-Can freeze things it touches when activate (The blade becomes coated in an ice with a temperature of -50 Celsius which can freeze anything on contact and can spread the ice)
Green-Keeps the blade sharp so the user doesn't have to sharpen it and to the point it can cut through wood with ease, but most metals will take a certain number of attacks (the harder the metal, the harder it is to cut)
Yellow-Has the effect of only cutting those the user wishes to cut
Indigo-Makes the sword tougher to break, a LOT tougher
Orange-Shoots fireballs and can burn things it touches when activated (Temperature of +200 Celsius) It will catch fire for a moment before shooting the fireball, and if I wish to burn someone the blade might become red hot with heat radiating off of it.
Violet-Creates an illusion to allow James to feint his opponent. Has a minute cooldown.

Wears ordinary leather armour and a wooden buckler as well.

Abilities/Powers: Is rather quick on his feet and a free-flowing sword technique along with reasonably good reflexes and wrist flexibility. Super tree-man strength

Talents: Swordsmanship

Personality: Cool, calm and collected. James is rarely flustered, but despite this he is still generally pretty eager for a fight and can get lost in the heat of battle.

Your character don't seem to be evenly matched, i may say. Jasmine is much closer to mid-powered than James, which makes it rather problematic for me to pick a character that would be an even match for both.

Ill just drop her strength to a bit lower than James' and her speed/agility can stay quite high, plus her control over shadows is quite tenuous, she can only control them in simple motions, such as a spike, shield or blade, within a distance of a few metres @Vordak

I'm still not too sure about it. Other than his illusion ability, which due to the one minute restriction will probably be only ever used once in our fight, there isn't really anything that sets James apart from the normal swordsman - not even armor.

Yup, better. Just a little more information on the freezing and fireballs would be good - specifically, the temperatures.

@Vordak
How about that for temperatures? Not sure what else I can do to describe the fire one XD
I mean it will probably catch fire for a moment before shooting the fireball, and if I wish to burn someone the blade might become red hot for a moment.
Not sure how to make the whole freeze thing work but I might think of something
