Incarceron [Sandbox Cyberpunk]

Alrighty, let's hold on everyone and try to sort this one out a bit.

<Snipped quote by Dymian>

While I do understand where you're coming from, I think honestly Deon would win this fight. I was looking over both Character Sheets and Elizabeth's doesn't mention anything on fighting experience - at least in hand-to-hand. Now, if it were an accuracy contest or something like that, I could see her pulling an advantage as the sheet mentions her learning to use firearms while Deon's doesn't. However, Deon's been fighting in the Spit for an extended amount of time, is currently the top-tier fighter in the cage matches and has been regularly using Hand of the Devil for just about a year (if my math is correct - which it usually isn't :P). Under those circumstances, I don't see how he couldn't beat her. Could she land a couple punches in? Of course, the guy's not super fast or anything, and no one's trying to weaken yours, or Yoshi's character in any way. It's just pitting two specific characters together and figuring out a solution by going over their individual skills and experiences.

@Ghost Shadow

Deon's CS doesn't mention Hand of the Devil usage. And if it does, Elizabeth's CS also mentions she uses it to kill some of her targets, meaning she is used to dealing with those under its influence.

Next, Deon's CS mentions no formal training and labels him as undefeated, meaning out from the gate, he had the skillset he does now. Meanwhile, Elizabeth is a trained hitman, and while I make no direct mention of fighting skills, I also didn't for firearm usage, so your assumption on my superior accuracy would be incorrect.

Finally, I in person am a 134 lb. skinny male, who has had the experience of pinning a 212 lb Male based not on skills or strength but logical application of force and his own self confidence.

What I am getting at is, if we continue the fight, I believe that it would be more based off of roleplayer ability than character. They are actually quite equal. No Elizabeth cannot land the blows, and is at a disadvantage in the cage. However, this scenario also opens up with her getting likely first hits and Deon worn down, if by a miniscule, in the fight not minutes ago, where he took hits.

If we get in the squadcar. Nothing can be assumed when interacting with another character.

I'd be down. Kat would take out the NPCrook, and then, after calling in the rookies, would turn to walk away when Lev's character begged me to save the two fighting. Kat would throw them both into lockup, and then she could drive Lev's character home, since they're both living in district 4.

@Sypherkhode822

All sounds good except the assumption they will be locked up. ;)

I would say, "Hey! Let my character help!" She's kind of useless in this arena, though (puns). She is going to wonder why nobody stops the madness, but the best she could be is a pitiful distraction.

Unless you like that kind of thing.. I know that neither of your personas would accept defeat before death. So if I can help let me know

@Lev

That is an idea that could potentially set Kat in motion, both to protect the poor Alpha and end a violent bout. That is, if both @YoshiSkittlez and @Sypherkhode822 agreed to the idea.

It really ups the amount of character interaction, while allowing each person to roleplay their persona as they'd like.

Lol twas a nice touch. Now did you have an end-game plan here? Cuz despite the upperhand she had in the beginning, I can only see Deon totally wrecking her lol despite her being a female, he only cares about winning - more so than trying to get laid :p Im totally fine with her getiing in some good shots, maybe even break something or draw blood, but I think for the sake of his character he needs to win. Thoughts?

@YoshiSkittlez

I thought we might have this issue. Elizabeth is honestly the same way. I wouldn't be able to say I roleplayed this character the right way if I planned for her to lose. Both of these guys are established on very similar brain waves and personas. And while he does have muscle mass on his side, she has flexibility and a metal cage to do the damage for her. Now, we could drag this on forever until one of us finally wins, a battle of the brains and characters, or we can seek a compromise. I'm very open to ideas.

Because if it really comes down to it, that jacket and her jeans have had aluminum pouches of her favorite tool (Devil's Breath) just in case she starts losing. Because that is the way that character is. And I understand that both me and you would rather not start our character with a loss under the belt. I was kind of expecting a raid to stop that, but, well... that fell through. Ideas?

Incarceron [Sandbox Cyberpunk]

I'm hoping this fight is intense.

He was laughing. The arrogant son of a bitch was laughing. It took all Elizabeth's effort not to crack a smirk, her determination on keeping up her lopsided stance overpowering the confidence she felt inside. He was arrogant, and she'd been able to play off it perfectly. Granted, she could have walked in their as graceful as ever, and he still wouldn't have taken her seriously. She was a woman. But the drunk bit, with the fogged contacts and everything, made it that much better.

She kept her gig up as the champion fighter approached her, his monologue doing nothing but giving her a reason to look him dead in the eye. She could feel her heart racing, pulsing at the prospect of what was to come. Her prey was getting closer. Pounding, constant and steady, filled her chest, blood rushing everywhere as adrenaline shot through her limbs. He stopped, in perfect reach, but she waited just a bit more, feeling as his hand reached out to toy with her hair. A blink shut her eyes for the smallest of seconds, her head leaning into his touch, almost as if she craved him, wanted his texture. But all he'd done was given her the perfect view of his other hand, her eyes tilting down as if to relish in the moment. A shiver was allowed down her spine. She'd watched him fight. And learned his style. He wanted the big swing; his left hand wasn't the threat. So when the right hand hooked up, she was ready.

All at once, instinct grasped every inch of Elizabeth's body, her heart beating in sync with the jerk of her torso, as her jaw escaped the swing's arc. Before the next beat, her forehead was already whipping forward, and with the momentum of her forward step as well as the muscles in her neck, back, and torso, she made to headbutt him right in the nose, just as the word "gate" let his pretty little mouth.

The hunter was ready to strike. She'd let his own cockiness give her the advantage. The swing he'd made towards her had blocked his left arm from reacting. And with her left hand raised and pushed towards his chest as she moved forward, his right fist would be pinned while she struck. Behind the foggy tinted contacts, a predatory glean shown in her eyes. This was what she lived for, the exhileration, the adrenaline, the plan coming together. She was about to get her revenge, and in just the way she wanted it.

The headbutt was just an attempt to disorient him, and as her body whipped back again, her left arm pulled away just as her right knee flew up towards his stomach. That was the next heartbeat. And as the striking leg moved to regain footing, two arms shot forward to push the hopefully stunned champion back. That didn't even take a pulse. By the time the flurry was over, distance would be put between Darth and Elizabeth, the entire last second, almost, spent countering his simple swing and setting up the fight.

Meanwhile, with room to breath, Elizabeth would drop in a similar stance to only moments before, this time her arms steady, fists placed correctly as each muscle tensed in preparation. Two eyes, full of energy and fire, glared at the man opposite her, and inside her mind and soul were pumping with life. Outside the cage, any traces of laughter had stopped, muffled by the shocked oohs and cries of surprise as the "drunk bitch" reverted to a whole other woman, whose very being, sarcastic, cold, and taunting, were embodied in the tone of her next words.

"Have I got your attention, baby?"

Arena Chat Thread

What I'm interested in seeing is if actions committed by a human might garner their attention, both unwanted and if desired.

Arena Chat Thread

This is extremely interesting. I'm already lining up a few concepts, for example, if I can emerge victorious in my current fight. Have the higher level characters ever taken interest in lower entities for their abilities?

Generally it revolves around linked fights that comprise a story element that carries over. You can flesh out a background multiversal element to give your character a 'home' universe. There are elements that have been consistent over the years: Rilla's Liaison character, my Dreamers, Melon's Fury who seeks to destroy the Dreamers. The Angar-Ryllan, an empire bent on dominating the multiverse and in the process enslaving the Dreamers. There are other elements that pop up now and again when the writer/owner feels like expanding or reintroducing it back into the fluid and flexible multiverse.

@Skallagrim

I'm extremely interested in becoming involved in this multiverse. It does seem, however, that the major participants are powerful characters. I myself am hoping to start with a low character and see him grow through character interaction. The difficulty I am running into is how to grow when all of the RP is battle oriented. Am I able to fill gaps in the timeline, thus enhancing my character, or should I do this through other means?
