Steel Cages and Iron Wills. Jake the "Under" Taker vs Red Streak Fergus MacBrainan

@Skallagrim
Alright cool, gotta brush up on the rules a bit. Don't wanna accidentally get ya with an illegal blow.

Hey you, we should have a fight. A fight we discussed literally years ago but never got around to it because the Forum went down after the old Multiverse died.

Evvie vs Abraham Haddad

A Clash Of Steel, Battle in the Courtyard

@Doc Doctor
Well I'm hard pressed for a theme song, I don't actually have Ansgar thought out as a character so matching a song up with him is more difficult than you'd think.

A Clash Of Steel, Battle in the Courtyard

Standing there in total bewilderment with his lips pursed tightly in confusion, he reached up and flipped the lantern window on his shield closed. While his hand was up there he reached over and drew his blade from the sheath on his shield.

In that moment he had absolutely no idea what this foreigner was talking about. In fact, if you told him he was speaking English he wouldn't believe you. It looked just about accurate to say there would be no dialogue between the two. "Whatever kingdom you hail from had best train good men, I'm not even a knight and I'm a fantastic warrior." Why brag to a man who he assumed couldn't understand him? Hyping yourself up is important, gotta get yourself in the zone.

Ansgar raised his shield and sword into a swordfighter's stance, angling his blade over the rim of his shield for maximum protection and offense. If anything, he was not a showy fighter. Ansgar was a smart man who understood that showing off gets you killed and following the rules keeps you alive. He made his advance on Zande with slow steady steps, his chainmail rattled slightly as he moved. In a few seconds he'd be upon Zande, he'd make an exploratory stab at him with a full extension of his sword arm. This would be to range him and maybe get a cheap early hole in his foe.

So I found this neat video that helps to imagine just how detached from our reality Shin actually is. JUST from analyzing his eyesight alone, not even taking into account his stunted emotion and accelerated thought. Everything in the universe is seen as it happens to Shin. Even the stars are in different locations. There's no lag between EVENT and IMAGE for him.

I found the video and thought I'd share it since it's really cool.

Steel Cages and Iron Wills. Jake the "Under" Taker vs Red Streak Fergus MacBrainan

"A Man who needs no introduction! The Man, The Myth, The Legend! The Undertaker!"

As the Undertaker himself made his way down to the ring he couldn't help but feel a mixed sensation of pride and fear. While he didn't wholly recognized a person based solely on title, there was some significant weight to the title of Undertaker. The way the crowd shook the ring, the haunting melody that played. Even the confidence with which he strode down, it gave him a moment of pause as he adjusted the straps of his candy apple red light gloves.

All of the confidence from before still remained, but he was given a sense of cautious optimism once he finally saw his opponent. He stretched in his corner, extending his arms totally vertical and drawing himself into bi-directional leg stretches. Left first and then right, he wanted to be as limber as possible for this. It was probably wise.

"It looks like the Undertaker has Red Streak shaken, Johnny!"

"With good reason, Tom, The Undertaker has an unbelievable win loss ratio. It's unmatched especially considering how many fights he's had."

"It's even more impressive when you take into account the fight in Madison Square Garden a while back."

"It is indeed. What even was that guy's deal? Was he supposed to be some kind of devil zombie or an alien?"

"I don't know Johnny but I do know one thing, Red Streak sure has his work cut out for him. The Undertaker has demonstrated some seemingly superhuman feats of ability, meanwhile old Fergus here has barely scraped his way out of the dregs."

"Heh, a good thing Warmonger dropped out eh? Get to see just how distant The Undertaker really is from a normal man!"

With no ignorance to their commentary he moved to the center of the ring with the Ref. He didn't actually hear the speech that he made, the only words that managed to touch his ears were the most important. "Touch gloves then move back to your corners."

Fergus raised his arms towards Jake with a small grin on his face, his eyes showed no fear. Only a strong and fiery defiance, in his head he thought about how much of a run for his money he would give The Undertaker.

Fergus is wearing Red and White briefs, he's got a left leaning mohawk, a goatee and his light gloves are candy apple red. He weighs 250 lbs and is 6'3" tall. His body is very lean, rather than overtly muscular. I need this information for mental image reasons.

Edit: Also, after this Fergus will probably become a mainstay. Might have him learn some kind of pseudomagic to compensate for the difference in ability.

Double Edit: We going for conventional rules or is this an anything goes except for dickshots and biting?

@MelonHead
And here's yours. I'm also working on the post for Dunnaman and Fury, but it might take a while. I'm trying to convince Tantalum to let his Moleman race be the ones who saved Dunnaman's life.

A Little East in the West, Shin Hunts his First Weapon

Their replies were near the same speed, it was impressive that the old gunslinger had matched his draw. Shin fired off one shot while the old man fired off six, Shin's was a spinning blade that careened from the barrel of his pistol. It tore through the air like a devil in disguise, a crooked path was cut through the dust between them as it made its way towards the gunslinger. Though the first shot had missed, since he had began moving the moment he fired.

So too had Shin began to move, as the guns were thrown up his body had begun with a violent leap to his right. It seemed that they had both had the same idea of strafing to the right, but they both had a disadvantage if they changed their position. Six bullets found their way to Shin's old position and several points to the right of it, but zero bullets found their target. He slammed shoulder first into a tying post nearby and spun around it in a matter of moments. The gun was pressed to his chest and he thought about how he had fired.

It was as though his left arm had been impelled to his chest by a wire, he hadn't noticed that the sleeve of the duster and his own shirt had been torn apart by the motion. The staff had moved of its own accord again, and now in the middle of a gunfight no less. It had drawn a wire between his shoulder and wrist and pulled it upwards. The gun had fired itself as well, this was not good. Shin's staff moved to his conscious thought, but now it was moving to his unconscious. This could have any number of disastrous side effects that he was not willing to deal with right now.

After spinning around the post he extended his left hand again and fired off three more shots from the pistol. Leading on the moving man as he made his sideways strafe, these too were those spinning bladed rounds. Much slower than conventional bullets but still much faster than an average man. They were made to cut a man to ribbons, not to put a hole in him. Hopefully the gun would work in his favor before moving again. He tried to keep his shoulder as loose as possible while matching the man's strafe, he didn't want his left arm to get yanked out of socket by the gun's next motion.

I apologize for making you wait so long.
