The battle takes place in a deep pit, which both constestants have fallen or climbed into. The bridges have steady footing, but are very hot, and hard to walk upon for long. There are no barriers around the magma pools, anything that touches the magma is burned/melted. The ground is hard, level, and smooth. Weather conditions will be hot for the first 10 posts of the fight, after which thick steam will begin to build up in the arena, gradually reducing visibility.

Alright, starting Trixi at the entrance since she arrived late which leads me to ask where exactly is Gonad in proximity to everything? Is he at one of the start positions and which one? Is he close to one of the lava pools, if so which one, or is near the pit edge? Is his back turned to Trixi, or in this case the entrance? *feels like a pain here asking these questions*

He's at Start Position #1, facing the rest of the arena.

While writing up a reply, I noted you stated several yards away in your post. How many exactly so I can imagine the scene better, because several can mean anything from 4-7 or more to some people and distance can make all the difference in a fight.

How about five and one-half yards?

@Fallenreaper

How about five and one-half? It may seem that I'm vague a lot, but I don't do that to abuse any systems. I just don't like overloading people with details.


I understand and didn't assume you were, but sadly I thrive a bit on details. Most my posts are a balance between vague and detailed for that very reason. More details allows me to see what you're seeing and keep me aligned with the scene's image. IF I lose that, it's rather hard to get back and then I make several serious mistakes over assumptions due to things not being mentioned. This is why I some times repeat what happens in my partner's post from how I saw it. This way if I'm seeing it wrong, it can be pointed out and corrected in the OoC until we're on the same page again. It can be a pain but it's a good way to solve issues before they arise really.

And yes, 5 1/2 (about 16.5 feet) sounds perfectly reasonable as it's likely they will both be cutting the distance between each other rather soon. Currently adjusting my post and such so should be up shortly within 1-2 hours. ^-^

@Drifting Pollen: The description of the arena describes the arena area as smooth, could you tell me exactly how smooth? Are you talking glass smooth or merely no loose rocks/pebble smooth here? This would affect traction, at least I assume it does. >,< Sorry for being technical, just trying to be fair is all and see my creative options/difficulties here. Two, I'm a little curious. >_>

No idea, I just copied/pasted it from the main thread. Regardless, Gonad would not slip chasing anyone.

Now explain that aspect to me.

I can understand him not falling due to control as he can control his balance, muscles and more. However, unless he can make his feet sticky like a spider, I assume he would at least have trouble finding traction on a say a smooth, glass surface realistically. Unless there's some science I'm missing. Which if I am, please go into depth to explain so I can understand a bit better. I'm in this to learn as well.

You're up btw.

@Fallenreaper the arena is smooth, but not slippery. The ground is almost completely flat, with no obstacles save for the lava pits, but it's not varnished or anything... slipping would be possible, but only if something that occurred during the fight that affected footing.

Alright, @Doc Doctor. I'm trying to imagine the height difference between Trixi (5'7") and Gonad (7'2") which is about 1'7" difference, and something about your description is driving my inner artist nuts and messing up my image in my head. If it didn't create a huge issue, I wouldn't nitpick but I want to make sure there's not going to be an issue with my movements in the long run. In addition we're not imagining two different pictures in comparison. >_>

One sentence really bothers me as it makes the difference about an additional foot, or more which is this one:

His hips would be nearly at the level of her chest, each leg probably thicker than her waist.


In my head, when I imagine that, Trixi's head top falls about just under his ribcage since proportion wise there's less than a foot between the head and chest middle. This would make the difference between head tops more than the mention difference and extends his reach much greater than I think is humanly reasonable. Originally I thought it was me, and still wondering if it is me, so I asked a friend about that sentence while telling him the height of Gonad and Trixi. He also felt it was off as I explained, with a 1'7" difference that would make Trixi's head top just below (think) his chest middle at most, not at his waist which your post would've indicated.

I'm trying writing a reply, but I'm having trouble as my inner self wants to tweak the proportions to how I'm seeing however while trying not to disrespect you or give Trixi any additional advantages due to imaginary issues.

Nvm, someone helped me a bit and currently sorted that out.

If it helps, try standing before a doorway. Most door frames are around Gonad's height, given that many house doors average 6'8". Here is the Great Khali (7'1", 346 pounds) and some chicks.

Thank you, that helps a lot actually and lines up close to the portions I had. Almost done with the post, just making sure I worded it right and clearly.

Alright, I'm assuming his powerwalk was an attempt to cover more distance and prevented the time needed for a charge, correct? Just wanted to make sure so I don't assume I have two or one charge when I might not have none.

Also, you're up. Sorry it took so long. And the dreaded 7th post is coming... so, lets see if I can break that curse shall we? If there's anything you need clearing up let me know as I got the image in my head but putting it down just right isn't exactly easy.I'm still pretty much a novice at this stuff and researching the martial arts I'm applying to Trixi, so I hope I did it justice.

Gonad is quick to approach even if there is no hurry. Berserkers don't have much patience!

That's what I assumed, but I've been known to be wrong. Thank you for clearing that up! Though it also depends on the Berserker variety too.
