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

@Skallagrim
He's grabbing Jake's left with his left. He turned his body to the right and grabbed the arm in the crook of of his own arm.

He's turning on his right foot and sweeping with the left leg. If the post wasn't clear I'll rewrite it, I did write it pretty late at night.

Alright, so YOUR roleplay is the only one I have this excuse for.

It took me so god damn long to formulate a reaction to your post because of how advantageous of a position you were in.

I had to actually perform several different attempted takedowns and responses on my roommate JUST to have a post that I was confident about. And even this one has its flaws.

The blow to the liver sent shockwaves through his body, a weaker man would have siezed and dropped instantly. His body lurched forward in response to the blow, his face showed a definite sign of surprise upon it. Namely with the spray of saliva being shot from his mouth and his mouthguard nearly being knocked clean out by the force of his exhale. In the moment between lurching forward and the oncoming uppercut, he needed to react.

But how? He was pretty much set for that incoming blow, except for one thing. Just because he was right handed didn't mean that he was defenseless. Three movements worked in a flash, and it was purely instinctive.

Fergus threw his head backwards and put his weight down on his right leg and jerked his waist off to the right. The uppercut swung up and missed his jaw, the wind grazed his ear and threw a tuft of red hair upwards. But that wasn't the whole motion, see Fergus is a reactive fighter, and his reactions are generally what wins his fights.

Remember how he brought his left arm back? Well his guard is that way for a reason, an uppercut is a guarateed arm lock that his opponent throws themselves into. It was even better since The Undertaker was fighting south paw, and since this was a left handed uppercut, he was able to hook his hand right into the movement. He pulled his own left arm into his body, forcing the Undertaker's hand in with it.

The last movement was a full left leg sweep, since his hip was already twisting from the reaction, his leg moving in a wide crescent was a natural flow. Aimed straight for the undertaker's legs and with his dominant hand locked straight in check, this would quickly be taken to the floor with Fergus in the advantageous position.

If executed perfectly, Fergus would have the Undertaker facedown on the ground with his left arm in a lock. He'd be able to perform a full mount and something resembling a rear wrist lock.

Oh dude, Darligrov is one of the five most powerful words of power. His family line has that Armstrong thing of "Passed Down For Generations!"

The connection to the rings is rarely mentioned due to the fact that nobody asks, but the rings are part of his family's Flag. Yes, flag. High breed Pundambayan families equate to royalty, they've got flags and the like.

It's pretty deeply lodged in his psyche, in life he was proud to be born with the ability.

The five words are:
Darligrov (Dahr Lih Grove) - Obviously his former word and now his nephew's word.
Jaggar Roh (Jae Gahr Row)- The word spoken by his daughter and father in law. Shaped energy beam projection.
Kagrackahs (Kah graah kass) - Metal Plate generation. Surprisingly useful.
Toganakun (Toe Gaenae Koon) - Explosive pellet projection.
Soho (Sew Hoe) - Creates a field of absolute silence. Wielded by Drom Fortin Inar.

Maybe a shadow of the rings he used to have, as his body is so used to that format. They would be more of an aura projection rather than the same ability. He'd form pseudo-armor of kinetic energy in the locations where the rings used to be, maybe taking up the area where the rings were spaced out. So his hands would be covered so he could strike at energy blasts with just his hands instead of blowing his skin clean off. A defensive ability at its core, sort of like a reversal of the purely offensive rings.

Like the rest of his abilities, it'd be accidental. Maybe a sort of physical reaction, like the way his hair moves. The way it floats unnaturally is a result of his ability, so maybe it reacts towards energy manipulators. Like flowing in the opposite direction of the user in response. So he'd be able to use it as a sort of compass rather than a direct point to point sensory system.

Edit: Even better, characters who absolutely swamp him in ability would cause his hair to no longer float. So a character in ultra-high or god tier would make his hair hang like natural hair.

Alright so, the material that fuels the World Engine AND Starstruck is a material called Dorirum. It's made from skin flakes knocked off of The Architect, who created the Multiverse that Dunnaman comes from. There are multiple Multiverses, for simplicity's sake. Since many roleplayers have a multiverse of their own. When Kanitah's spirit was brought along in the space train, that material was brought with him into the multiverse that he is currently in. The same one that he was in when he met Fury for the first time.

Portals and space ships are the explanation for how he got there in the first place.

Now that Dorirum is naturally growing in THAT multiverse, he's managed to be given one of them. In Starstruck.

That explains how he's got it.

I suppose, at its barest, it would have some kind of mirror of The Architect's personality. Like a remnant of some thought process that the Architect has.

Considering The Architect is constantly at war with The Abyss, the force of entropy that is outside of all things, it might have some kind of beef with the Pseudo-Entropy of The Void's powers.

Well, he could fill the metal that surrounds the cube with energy. It'd take a shit ton of energy, since the cube matches his own absorption and repulsion. To overtake it he'd have to do it quickly and start at the handle, so when he strikes it'd quickly move up to the head and then strike with an explosive force.
