I too was a big fan of KHR!

I'd discuss potential interactions but I have no idea whether I'll be in the RP!

Had one other idea for a character if this doesn't work out.


Archer

Dialogue Styling Red | Thought Styling Red Italics




Archer saw that his shot had struck one of her shoulders, though amazingly she had once again avoided a fatal blow. There was even more to it. In that brief instant before she'd been hit, Archer sensed a powerful Divine Influence emanating from the woman. She had tried to affect him with Divine power, not knowing that such power flowed equally through him, strong enough to negate her attempt. Well, she had simply been outclassed and outmaneuvered whether through fate or circumstance. As she soared up through the clouds he noted she launched her spear upward and began dropping down again.

Was she wounded more gravely than I thought? My arrow's been removed, perhaps she freed her arm to treat her wound? Well,
no matter. I'll end this now. A shame, I was beginning to truly enjoy this Grail War.


He grimly nocked two more arrows, deciding he would pierce her heart and-

then Lancer burst through the clouds unarmed and forced the clouds apart, expression determined and seemingly unafraid in the face of his mortal blow as her features were briefly silhouetted by the moon above. The sight of her framed by moonlight forced the image of another fearless woman into his mind's eye, and in that instant his heart softened.

Protection From Arrows: A+


Without needing to look away, he sensed it. A projectile driven by hostile intent moving through the air. It dragged his attention back to the battle at hand. In a way that transcended sight or conscious thought, he could follow its intended path toward him and react. Clever of her, to mimic his own power in order to try and kill him. Perhaps even praiseworthy. But she still couldn't match the limits of his art. As he released both arrows, one would unerringly curve to intercept the magically guided spear in order to knock it from the air. The other one though, he would try to curve away from the heart-shot he had intended, to strike her uninjured shoulder instead.

The other enemy Servants have withdrawn for now as well. Even if I leave her with two injured shoulders, she shouldn't be picked off just yet, while it gives me time to retreat.

Out loud he told her none of that, instead giving her a sincere grin and mock salute.

"Feel no shame in being outclassed! For your skill and bravery, I offer you your life! Take it as a one-time gift from the King of Archers!"

Archer was suitably impressed by not only Lancer's speed, but her resourcefulness. As her polearm sailed toward him thanks to a preternaturally powerful throw it was easy enough for the floating warrior to simply dip aside of the weapon's path on an eddy of wind as he continued onward and away, though the evasion did slow his retreat as she'd hoped. More interesting was the fiery display she'd used to destroy his arrows, by the looks of it some kind of writing-based magic. She possessed quite a versatile skill, it seemed. As her axe-headed spear disappeared from his peripheral vision, Archer nocked three arrows to his bowstring, preparing for her renewed attack against him. She leaped not directly at him as she'd done before, but high into the cloud cover, perhaps counting on that to conceal her from view for a surprise attack.

Clairvoyance: B


However, she was mistaken if she thought simple clouds were enough to conceal her from the eyes of a true archer! Though he feigned confusion, looking wildly about for her and occasionally twisting his bow about as if searching for a target, he kept her firmly in his peripheral vision at all times. When he saw the brief fraction of a moment where her momentum changed and reversed, Archer's path suddenly curved aside in a sharp roll and he drew back and released all three arrows. One of the missiles drove straight forward as the others curved sharply into a pincer pattern from above and below, meaning to converge where he judged she would be and strike from three different angles.

"Don't underestimate a marksman's eyes or else your speed will only bring you to the underworld more quickly!"

Lancer was astoundingly fast, it was true, perhaps even a bit faster than the wind on which Archer rode. But so long as his keen eyesight enabled him to aim where she was going to be instead of where she was, he could still strike her no matter her speed.

He was confident he could avoid another falcon-like dive. Ride The Wind seemed to be more maneuverable than her own technique if his eyes judged rightly. On the other hand, he was no longer certain he could defeat the warrior woman through direct battle without using his true strength.

A shame to kill off one so interesting so early on, though I shan't be picky! But if I can only slip away and survive, I should still have something interesting to report to my lunatic Master. it's really been some time since I had this much excitement..."

Not really sure what to do for an entrance post.
Major interest! Are we each making a Meister/Weapon pair, or do we make one or the other and actually pair with each other? The latter sounds cool, though I'd be interested in the former a bit as well!

Archer let a grim smile spread across his face in pleased surprise as the woman managed to get her weapon up in time to defeat his arrow. Few could match the swiftness of his shots, perhaps this war would stir him from his melancholy after all! He delighted in her initial flash of fury and her self-assured demeanor as she realized his arrow had been but a mocking gesture, and his heart soared with excitement at that first flash of speed, her lightning swift form clearly visible to his archer's eyes but no less impressive in spite of that. He noted with keen interest the way she pushed off of the air itself, racing towards him with spear outstretched like one of his own arrows.

Let's see if she can catch me before I strike her from the sky.

Ride The Wind: B


Archer leaped back and up himself as she raced toward him through the sky, but as reached the height of his jump he was swept up and to the side by a torrent of air at great speed. He didn't run through space as if on a solid platform, nor did he jet out like a modern rocket. Instead it was if the wind itself had become a swift river on which he rafted, or else it had transformed itself into an invisible steed on which he rode. Rushing away at a sharp curve from the rooftop, Archer flashed a grin at the spearwoman as he nocked two arrows to his bow, his long hair and jacket whipping in his self-created wind. There was no malice or mockery in him at that moment, merely enjoyment at pushing his skills further.

"Did you think me a fool, or merely incompetent?"

Archer let both arrows fly in Lancer's general direction. However both attacks looked to go obviously wide of the reach of either lance or shield and sail harmlessly past her and into the distance, as if riding on a current of air and trying to launch two arrows at once had thrown off his aim far too much as he evaded her charge.

"More importantly, did you truly think those shots were the limits of my art?!"

As he spoke, the seemingly impossible happened. Archer's arrows made a sharp, sudden turn in mid-flight so that they would strike Lancer from behind instead of missing entirely, stabbing one from each side if they struck.

"Know this, Servant of the Lance! There is nothing in this world beyond the reach of my arrows!"

Archer


Archer hmphed to himself mentally as he watched the scene below him unfold. There was a strange gap in his memory, a blank space where there should be none in both his quiver and his mind. Perhaps some strange mental trick from one of his adversaries. More importantly though, one of his targets was squawking like an indignant rooster and generally making a fool of herself. He had taken a shot, at someone somewhere, that much was plain to him, so they must know they were all in danger of being targeted.

Well, Archer was certain he had hunted more dangerous foes, it would be fine enough to see how she reacted to being hunted and take some measure of her. His own maneuverability was unsurpassed with few exceptions, so he had confidence he could shake his quarry if his true attack afterward failed. Besides, he needed distraction until this war was over and he could rest again.

Archer knocked a single arrow, pulled back and let fly with contemptuous lack of effort, aiming to let the fletching just brush by Lancer's head so the missile would bury itself in the ground with a notable thunk.

Let them think he missed. His next arrow would not.
I'm subbing in as a new Archer, just so everyone knows!
Iron Fist could also be involved in a number of plotlines as well. He's technically a troubleshooter for Rand Enterprises but is mostly allowed to do his own thing for the most part.
