Heh. If that's the case, we could do a T3-5 battle, if you wouldn't mind. My T4-ish character would be Auron Flamecaller
At least, I consider him T4...he could be either 3 or 5, since I'm rather unfamiliar with the boundaries outside of the basic description that's given. xD

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 first post on this thread has the description of the tiers that most people use (as far as I know. I'm kind of new to the whole thing myself). Each paragraph is a new tier, so it lists tiers from 1 to 8.... Or at least, that's how I think it's done and that's how I've interpreted it with my character. xD
I think I should be up for a battle~ If it's 1v1 you seek, then that's my specialty~ xD
Although my main character is a Tier 4-ish character, so if I use him, I would prefer he fight somebody in Tiers 3-5. But I could also probably come up with a lower-tier character if need-be. =}

Auron had already put all of his attention into avoiding the deadly blade of Meats' falchion. He had just barely managed to avoid that blow...and he had no way to prepare for his opponent's next attack. It was already all he could do to avoid that brush with death. The next blow was not something he could have ever expected. He was helpless as he felt the demon's knee get slammed powerfully up against his jaw. He let out a loud growl of pain as the blow connected. He was slammed backward again, with his entire body getting thrown up against the trunk of the pine tree behind him once again. His head had been forced upward, leaving his chest and neck fully exposed for just the briefest of moments. He was also thrown off of his knee and onto his rear end, his tail sticking out beneath his body as he was leaned up against the tree.
Auron was stunned; his head was swimming after the powerful bashing. Thankfully, the attack did not hit his skull. If it had, he would be in an even wore situation than he already was. On top of this, he knew that Meats was far too close-range for his sword to use. It was much too large to swing and cause any worthwhile damage and it was too wide and long to pull off a proper stab. Until his wing was freed from the trunk of the tree, there would be no more use in his sword. Although at the same time, he could not drop the weapon; if he did, his opponent could pick it up and use it against him. That was definitely not something that he wanted to happen. So instead, he needed to work with the sword in hand, despite it being mostly useless to him now.
Regardless, Auron knew that he needed to keep fighting. If he did not, he would be overwhelmed by his opponent's attacks and would eventually be knocked completely unconscious. And so, he quickly tried to climb back to his feet and switched his tactics. As long as he was pinned to this tree, he would have to resort to his close combat skills, rather than his swordsmanship. As soon as he was back on his feet, he brought his left arm, the one that was not clutching his sword, and swung it with surprising ferocity for one whose body had been partially pierced. He launched the attack, aiming the physical punch directly at the side of Meats' face, hoping the force of the blow would force his opponent back. If he could get him to back off, he might be able to grab the sword that was pinning his wing and pull it out himself, thus not only freeing him but disarming his opponent as well...and he would then be able to turn this entire thing around.

Auron struggled where he stood. A quick flash in the moonlight told him that Meats was already coming forth with a new attack. But he had no time! His body was still jarred from the impact of the full-body tackle and he needed a moment longer to recover completely. He forced his arm up and around, but he knew that it was pointless to attempt to parry this incoming attack. The demon had the superior leverage and control over his weapon. He would be able to adjust his strike as he needed to in order to counter anything that the dragon could do. It would be virtually impossible to parry with a sword.
However, Auron had one aspect about him that his opponent did not have. One that could be utilized quite effectively. He moved the tail that was currently laying limply behind him and pressed it against the tree with all of the strength it could muster. His lengthy tail was a big part of his body's ability to keep him balanced and it was mostly muscle. By smashing it up against the tree, he caused his body to force itself to move. In specific, he was able to get his lower body to move slightly to the side, throwing his balance off. But instead of fighting to correct himself, he allowed himself to fall, sinking to fall onto his right knee, just narrowly avoiding the sharp blade as it passed him by. Hopefully, this would give him enough chance to recover completely and get away to properly fight back.
Suddenly, a sharp pain struck him and caused him to growl in retaliation. He glanced back at the blade of the demon's sword...and saw that it had struck him after all. While it wasn't a serious wound, the sword pinned his wing to the tree, blade easily piercing straight through the unprotected membrane. His wing now had a hole with a size equivalent to that of Meats' impressive blade and the pain he felt from the impact was just as sharp as Iginbo, causing him to flinch in pain. To make matters worse, as long as Iginbo's blade was embedded in the trunk of the pine, he was stuck there unless he wanted to tear his wing even further to escape. He had a very limited range here...and if he ended up losing his own sword as well, he would have a very difficult time coming back from this.

Auron waited patiently for a few moments, keeping his eyes open to his surroundings as well as he could. If he scanned the area surrounding him carefully enough, perhaps he could discover parts of the greenery that was out of place...something that would surely signify the location of his verdant-clad foe. Unfortunately, however, that was a risky move; paying too much attention to one spot would leave him blind in another. And with an opponent as skilled with the sword, along with the level of power and amount of muscle to go with it as this demon was, as well as his surprisingly impressive reaction time...leaving himself open from any angle was out of the question. So instead, he would have to wait for his opponent to make a move first. Hopefully, he would be able to react quickly enough to counter whatever move the cowardly Meats would make next.
If there was anything he was expecting, however, it was not for the armored demon to show himself. He caught a flash of motion from his right side, and so he turned on the spot and readied to parry an attack with the Dragon Claw...but what he saw was only the silver mask of his opponent's body, still sitting motionless. It did not take Auron long to figure out what this was about. The thought caused a smirk to cross his lips. So, perhaps this demon was not as cowardly as he had expected to find. This demon could have easily tried to rush him and attempt to perform a sneak attack from the shadows. Instead, he almost seemed to be daring him to strike at him...
This was going to be a lot more fun than he expected.
But even so, all Auron did was turn around and face his opponent. "You're brave for fighting me head-on," he said with a smirk. "But let's see if that won't come back to bite you on the tail." He then brought his sword up and readied it once again, bracing himself for his opponent's next move. He would be better off forcing his opponent to make the next move and sticking to his counterattacks for now. It was better to fight on his own terms...not his opponent's.
That thought alone, unfortunately, was not enough to prepare him for his foe's next attack.
Auron had not expected this demon swordsman to utilize such a reckless tactic...and as a result, the ensuing bull rush move that suddenly came charging toward him caught him by surprise. His eyes widened and he desperately brought his massive blade around, trying to slash it at the incoming foe, driven solely by instinct. Unfortunately for him, however, Meats was prepared for that as the demon smacked the Dragon Claw from the dull side of the blade, sending his arm to the side. This sudden, unexpected motion almost drew the blade out of his arms, and he was only barely able to keep a firm grip on it. However, he did not have long to think on it...he felt Meats' full, armored, muscular body slam up against his chest.
"GURGH...!" he grunted in pain, getting slammed powerfully backward. The crimson dragon was forced backward by the impact, stopping only as his back collided directly with the nearest tree that was directly behind him. His back slammed up against the trunk of the pine tree, but not before crashing through a bush of low-hanging pine needles. But he did not have time to simply stand here and recover. He shook his head and desperately tried to raise his sword, trying to clear his mind and focus on his foe once again. There was no telling how this demon was planning to follow his attack up....

Hm...okay, so now here's a quick question for you. Am I right in assuming that if Auron does not show any initiative, I can go ahead and assume that Meats will rush at Auron with that bull rush and try to slam into him, so I can just have him go ahead and react to that? I just wanted to make sure before I overstepped my boundaries. xD
I have to apologize, but I probably won't be on very often or active for the next couple of days. We're travelling atm, so I can only get limited access to the Internet. xD; I'll get a reply in if I get the chance, though~
Auron's counterattack worked exactly as planned...well, more or less. There were a couple of snags, but it served the purpose it was supposed to. However, when he had kicked, it felt as though he had kicked not a suit of armor, but an entire iron wall. Luckily, however, it was not as immovable as an iron wall. If Meats' body didn't give way to his kick and get thrown backward, he might've ended up breaking something. But as it was, he was mostly fine. However he made a mental note never to deliver a blow directly to this demon's gut unless he absolutely needed to gain some distance. He had to remember that this demon did not share his own weakness. A blow to the gut was not going to stop Meats like it would him. He was lucky to escape with just a sore foot. If Meats had been any heavier than he had been, things might be drastically different now.
Auron did not dwell on these thoughts for long. Instead, he readied his sword, bringing it down to his side. He had just knocked his opponent back, possibly throwing him for a loop. He would need to press the advantage while he still had it. If he could cross the distance quickly enough, maybe he could use his blade to deliver a more powerful, more damaging strike. So, ignoring the dull pain in his foot, he rushed forward, blade still held down at his side. However, by the time he crossed even half the distance he needed to, Meats had managed to pull himself out from the open...instead choosing to hide in the shadows of the night in the foliage around them. This caused him to halt his advance immediately and ready himself. To him, it was as though the demon had simply disappeared into thin air. It was obvious what he was doing...but now that his eyes were not locked onto his target, he was at great risk here....
"Tch...." Auron muttered in disgust. "You would hide like a coward rather than fight me face-to-face?" He slowly and cautiously stepped forward, nearing the spot Meats had disappeared from with every step. He quickly returned his sword to its original position, hilt down and blade raised upward. "Show yourself!" he challenged as he approached the spot, taking a look around to try to spot wherever Meats was hiding amongst the foliage; looked for any sign of movement.

Ah, and just a quick note. I'm rather new to swordplay terminology and such myself. xD So if I make a mistake and misinterpret one of your posts and need to correct myself, feel free to let me know here. I don't mind the criticism and can correct myself as needed~
