The Fires of Anuria

@OneEyedChurroYeah, it looks sweet so far. I hope things get shelled. Lots.

Betwixt the Eternal Light

@LaueAtta boy :D

Betwixt the Eternal Light

@LaueAnd stab Pate in the spine?

Betwixt the Eternal Light

@DJAtomikaNot a problem, i'll make a little prompt for you in the next posting round. I'll assume the same as you for the time being.

NewSun V ShidenBlades

The unmistakable feeling of tearing flesh reverberated through Balance, meaning that Arcturios had struck Ryu, but perhaps not in the intended location. From his foe's hand came a stream of blood that quickly saturated his handwraps with red. Yet his temporary victory was surpassed by the growing intensity of the pain in his wrist; his determined foe was pulling hard, and he was pulling down, even a direct hit from his savage weapon to the hand did little to deter his assailant.

It was going to break. If it broke, it would not only have been agony, but would have spelled potential doom: wielding a polearm with one functioning arm is far harder than it is to do with one hand, no matter how skilled he was. There were only a few options left to him to avoid such an outcome: get behind Ryu with a circle motion of his own, lessening the pressure on his wrist as the pressure on the joint is released, or make a mad attack at the legs of his opponent.

The pain was near enough blinding, but through the flashes of red he twirled back around Ryu, attempting to move faster than he to get behind him before he, himself, had his opponent behind him. As he moved the pressure on his wrist seemed to fade, though it left a lasting ache that would prove an annoyance in the fight to come. It was then that he lunged (though the two warriors were side to side) with a dirty strike from his head, making an attempt to slam it into Ryu's temple, aiming to stun him for precious seconds - enough for him to break free from the iron grip.

@goodmorrowtouNo worries, we'll find our way to you shortly. After Shienvien posts, i'll have the next hermit arc post alongside the next Turncloak post. I'll work with whatever you post between now and then to concoct a meeting.

The Fires of Anuria

@VoiD@OneEyedChurroExcellent, excellent! Most pleased to have you guys on board. I've been drooling over the idea of getting this gong for some time now.

NewSun V ShidenBlades

@ShidenBladesNot at all, you've been more than crystal clear in your descriptions so far. I can tell you're an experienced arena-goer, so let me know if I mess something up.

NewSun V ShidenBlades

Horizontally. He is essentially keeping the blade in a position to allow for a sweeping attack. It is being held close so that one end is sticking out rather far behind him, while the currently functional end is being held with the blade close to the body. If you need me to, i'll make an edit to my post to make that more clear. Like I said, it's been a while since I did all of this :P

And the weapon is 7' long including the blades.

The Fires of Anuria

Just going to pop this here and update as I go before it goes in the sheets tab.

Nation Name
The Nation States of New Venus

Nation Size
The NSNV hails from Venus, but has since claimed many systems in it’s name. While dominion of Sol eludes them, their expansion efforts have gained them control over fifteen stars, and thirty-six terraformed and colonised worlds. The last census of the population concluded that it maintains in the region of thirty to thirty five billion citizens.

Nation Description
The NSNV originally came into being after the colonials of Venus declared their independence from Earth. Such a declaration was naturally met with violence and conflict from the forces of Earth, not within to lose their hold on the first extraterrestrial colony. The colony was built around an uncorrupted system of a democratic republic, with power being held by a great council of representatives of the sixty three nation states on Venus. Venus was primarily a scientific community, the first colony was headed by scientists and engineers, so it was only natural for the colony to nurture an interest in technology that, in only a few short years, exceeded that of Earth’s. This allowed them to effectively do battle against Earth’s much larger forces and still come out on top. Since they have achieved independence, the NSNV has continued to grow into a galactic power that one does not wish to trifle with.

Nation Involvement
The NSNV were some of the first to discover Anuria, and theirs was the diplomatic ambassador that was assassinated within the first years that sparked the conflict. From there, it has been almost a vendetta for the NSNV to come out on top. In their eyes, they were the first to set eyes upon the world, and their republic agrees that it should be theirs at any cost.

-

Technology
The NSNV rely on fairly advanced technology, especially within the early days of their independence. Not being capable of bringing powerful arms to bear would have meant they, to this day, would still be a subsidiary of Earth.

Navy Description
Describe your space force. Detail ships and their capabilities.

Air Force Description
Describe your air force. Detail vehicles and their capabilities.

Ground Force Description
Describe your army. Detail soldiers and ground-based vehicles and their capabilities.

Common Armaments
Describe the weaponry that your soldiers are known to carry. Tell us a little about the kind of things that your faction uses regularly on the battlefield.

Headquarters
Give us an overview of your base of operations of Anuria. This can be a heavily fortified base or a massive bunker. This is a fairly creative field, but, again, is more of a context field. You won't have much interaction with this.

Persons of Importance
Detail important people in your nation. This is an almost purely contextual field. You will NOT be controlling these characters under any circumstance. They are merely for your expendable cast to reference and aspire to (or deify).
