Current I think I'm Advanced+ level and could do that. But under Adv, I feel compelled to write a certain way and it makes writing feel more like a chore even if it's just in my head. Thus, I prefer Casual

Many people equate "Advanced" to "Big, high effort posts with lots of flowery language." It's a habitual thought I struggle to shake as an RPer with 20+ years of writing experience. It's very draining

The Dragon Claws' blade struck nothing but the blade of the demon's own sword, stopping him just short of his target. This annoyed Auron, as this not only stopped his attack, but he wouldn't be any the wiser as to how sturdy the enemy's armor was. But what surprised him even more was Meats' speed and reaction time. He had taken note that Meats had stopped his stab immediately after he had sidestepped, giving him enough time to bring it up and block as needed. He pressed his blade up against his opponent's with much of his strength. With the blades locked, and the indestructible nature of his own weapon , he felt that he had the advantage here. If he could overpower his foe and send him reeling, he could take the chance to deliver a strong blow.

Unfortunately for Auron, however, that plan did not work out very well. As it turned out, Meats' blade was pressed up against his chest...and this gave him all the leverage he needed. And soon, it was turned against him. when Meats lurched his body forward, Auron had to back off; he knew that he wasn't keeping him at bay well enough. He was successfully thrown back. He had no time to recover, however; Meats was already bringing the blade around at him again. However, he was able to recover quickly enough to raise his blade once more. Thanks to this, he was able to hold his sword upward with his right arm holding it in the opposing weapon's path. He quickly braced it with his other arm, however, hopefully ensuring that he could stop the blade's strike. He had been taken by surprise once...if it happened again, he might not be able to help block it the next time.

Instead of trying to counterattack with his own blade, he maintained his grip and the sword was kept in its position, trying to keep the deadly blade from coming any nearer to his body. Instead, he switched all of his weight onto his back foot, trying to leave himself with enough force to keep him from falling, and brought his nearest foot upward and into the air. He aimed a single kick upward, toward Meats' midsection body armor once again. His attack would have quite a bit of force behind it, so with any luck it may be able to force an opening for him to strike with his blade again. As his body moved fluidly in his attempt to slam his foot into Meats' stomach, his tail came into use. It planted itself on the ground, allowing Auron to instinctively use it as a method of maintaining his balance should something go wrong on the front. This would all be done the moment Iginbo's blade met the the Dragon Claw's...and if it worked, Auron could potentially show this demon what real strength was!
Auron continued studying his opponent's movements carefully as the figure continued to approach him, blade raised. He had to commend him for keeping to his stance, despite the disadvantageous position it landed him in. He was at least confident enough to stick to his guns...he had to respect him for that at least. He thought that he had just about all of his basics covered with this position...he would be fine. However, this unusual opponent made a, perhaps somewhat unsurprisingly, a rather unusual and unorthodox move. His eyes widened slightly as he saw Meats not swing his sword the way it was...but instead allowed one of his hands to shift closer to its pommel...but also reached his other arm to actually grasp the blade. This was not something a normal swordsman would do...and for a moment, it caught him off-guard.

Auron quickly worked out that he wouldn't be able to parry this like he could any normal stab, so he instead decided to choose the typical sidestep evasion. As the blade drove toward his midsection, he waited until the last minute before pulling his entire body to the left. The blade of Meats' sword scraped up slightly against the scales on his side, but he was unharmed. Now that he was to his opponent's right side, he clenched the hilt of his blade tightly and quickly swung it around in a semi-circle. The large blade of the Dragon's Claw aimed to slip roughly an inch or so underneath Meats' own Iginbo in an attempt to slash the blade of the sword up against Meats' midsection. Due to the indestructible nature of his blade, he had no qualms with using it to test the durability and strength of other objects...in this case, the very armor that Meats wore. He needed to test and see just how well it could hold up against his Dragon's Claw. If it could not penetrate or leave visible progress, he would have to figure out where he could aim his strikes.

Of course, this all depended on whether or not he would even be able to slip his attack through as planned....
Heheh...that works for me~ =} I'll just wait on your next reply then~
I am certainly always up for an Arena RP. I don't really have a T1 character set up yet, but I could probably come up with one pretty darn quickly. xP
Works for me~ So then, is there anything more we need to discuss, or should we just let the battle go on naturally?~
Auron's gaze did not falter from the creature standing before him. He maintained his focused attention on his opponent and knew that no words were to be spoken. Whether his inhuman adversary was able to speak or not, he was not certain...but clearly, words would be meaningless here and now. He had received the answer that he had been looking for, that this was the opponent that he had challenged, and that he was ready to show him the truth path of the sword.

The dragon observed Meats' assumption of the Ox stance, bladed raised high and pointed toward him. The distance was closing slowly...and he needed to prepare himself. He reached behind him and quickly grasped the hilt of his own large blade. He unlocked the latch that kept the blade in place with one of his claws and he withdrew the blade from its belted resting place. The sword's familiar weight in his hands, he lifted it over his shoulder, keeping a firm grasp on the hilt that was large enough for two hands...but he only needed one to keep it and keep it balanced.

Auron was well-versed in the classic, standard stances of swordplay. However, he was not a traveler and a sellsword for no reason. After enough practice, he had developed his own, unique sword style. He raised his weapon up, holding the hilt down in front of his waist and tilted slightly to the side. He followed now specific or pre-known stances...he wielded his own blade as he himself desired to wield it. This way, he felt as though he were not limiting himself to what other great swordsmen have developed. He would never stand out the way he wanted to using the styles of previous masters. That was why he had originally set out...and now would be the perfect chance to test his training; to pit his new style against the well-distinguished swordplay styles. If he could win this, then he would prove himself.

He stood and waited...waited for his opponent to inch closer. He was starting to gamble with this...he needed to wait as long as he dared before he struck. The closer his opponent became, the easier he would be to strike. However, at the same time, the closer he was, the easier it was to be struck. He needed to be on guard...and watch his enemy's every movement. He was ready...this fight was now underway.

...But who was to make the first move?
A shadow passed over Bruth Lake, aiming itself directly toward the shadowed forest. This would make a perfect battleground. And with all of the dampening snow around, he probably wouldn't have to be cautious...he could be as liberal with his fire attacks as he wanted to. A humanoid, crimson- and black-scaled dragon soared through the skies, making his way toward the pine forest that was to serve as his training grounds of choice. The lake was frozen over, the cliff was appealing for flight practice...as was the forest itself.

As he approached the line of pine trees that marked the entrance to the forest itself, the fire dragon straightened himself out in the air, coming down for a landing just in front of two particularly large trees. his feet touched ground neatly and he smirked slightly to himself. Across the dragon's back, a great sword could be seen, strapped onto his back by a belt that stretched diagonally around his chest and back. It would be a simple matter to withdraw the blade if he needed it. He would simply have to flick open a latch with his claws and pull it out...and he could do this at just a moment's notice. And he was sure that it was going to come in handy for the struggle to come.

Auron had made his way through the trees for a short while before coming across a figure with impressive physique. Based on first impressions, he would have to say that this warrior was one that he would need to be cautious with. There was definitely more to him than what met the eye. His own eyes narrowed at the figure and his armor, looking him up and down. So, this was the one. Right where they had intended to meet and do battle. And this opponent seemed quite ready to fight...there could be no doubt.

"So, are you the one?" he muttered bitterly. "The one who cuts down indiscriminately simply because he is ordered to do so? The one who shows no mercy, even to the weak and defenseless?" He did not reach for his weapon...not yet, at least. But if this was the monster that he had been looking for, he would need to draw his weapon of choice quickly, lest he risk being caught unarmed.
Hm...I have one quick question, before I finish this post I'm typing up. Do the two already know of the fight they are about to take part in, or are they meeting for the first time in this forest?
Alright, that all sounds good to me. It's good to have a template for something like that. It probably makes things a lot easier to plan in the long run. xD

Now, I'll probably go ahead and get my intro written up shortly then~
@Agni - Heheh...judging from your username, that's pretty much exactly what I expected when I clicked back into this thread. xP But yeah, I'd love to do a Digimon Frontier RP with you. It seems to be the rarest of the Digimon RP's. I don't quite yet have a specific plot, but I would prefer to use new characters...perhaps using the same Spirits. But if you wanted to make up your own, I would be cool with that too. xD

@Allison - Hm...well, as huge of a fan of Skyward Sword as I am, I'm less familiar with Zelda in RP format than I am with Pokémon...so I suppose we could go with that. If you send me a PM, we could work out the details there~
