Sounds good to me. Though after this fight if you want to have a one-on-one go at Smith I'd be willing to give that cognitive ability a test run with you.

Were we going to use armor in this Green? Or did you want just weapons?
One second she was charging toward him to deliver her attack, and the next she was rushing backwards to avoid his counter. No gradual slowing down or shifting of momentum, just back and forth. Like a small pet getting jerked by its leash. Why was it that every single jedi in existence (or so it seemed) had the ability to completely ignore the effects of physics and momentum? THAT was a power he could find a use for.

His gauntlet blade hissed as it slid back into its casing, and his right hand dropped down to the pistol at his hip as he took one small step forward to re-center his stance. By the time she stopped moving backward, the weapon was raised and spitting a depleted baradium slug at the center of her chest, after which he would adjust his aim to compensate for any movement she made to avoid the first shot, then fire a second.
Random note: I wouldn't consider the EMP an auto-hit weapon. Most military technology today is EMP shielded, so I'd imagine that it would be standard equipment on high-tech mechs and robots. another reasoning for not having it would be that it's almost useless against high-tech opponents, not that it's unavoidable. Unless it's powerful enough to overcome the shielding, in which case it would probably kill people too.

I added weapons to what I sent you earlier, but otherwise it's the same sheet. I figured I'd try some tomahawks instead of a sword since I've never done it before (but have been wanting to for a while), but I can
switch back to a sword if no one else shows up.

said Name: David Smith (originally Schmidt).

Random Descriptors:
Race: Human (Caucasian)
Gender: Male
Age: Older than he looks.
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 180 lbs
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Brown

Physical Description:
Tall and deceptively thin, his physique is comprised of tightly packed muscles that grant him a level of strength that very often surprises his opponents, who are expecting to face a man reliant on speed and avoidance rather than one capable of delivering blows on par with the likes of heavyweight boxers. He keeps his dark hair cut short, usually no longer than a quarter of an inch, and tends to wear clothing that is tailored to both compliment and accentuate his tall and slender physique.

Personality Description:
No data available.

Abilities:
Willpower - More than once, he has been called the strongest man in the world, though not in the physical sense. Repeatedly demonstrating a profound ability to apply the theories of mind over matter in a very literal sense, he has come to be known by those familiar with him as a man possessing a truly indomitable will, capable of overcoming obstacles that would leave other men balking in disbelief at the sheer insanity of the attempt.
Hypercognition - David's brain is, for reasons unknown (though likely related to his possession of superhuman willpower), capable of absorbing and processing information on a subconscious level at speeds that surpass even the most powerful supercomputers. He can glance at a situation for an instant, and then correctly deduce the most likely outcomes based on a myriad of factors that most humans would fail to even notice, and indeed he himself is not consciously aware of noticing them. He can learn to speak a new language in days, perfectly mimic the movements of martial arts masters from simple observation, and discover a loophole through which to escape from nearly any trap. The instinctive nature of this ability renders it vulnerable to conscious override, and if he allows arrogance to get the better of him instead of trusting his instincts, its effectiveness can be reduced or eliminated almost completely.
Bend The Rules - Whether this is a side effect of his tremendous willpower or a separate ability altogether is unknown, but what is known is that he is capable of subtly and subconsciously bending the rules of reality in his own favor, making possible things that ordinary men could never hope to achieve and enabling him to match the feats of the peak humans of comic book lore. In addition to making him inherently lucky, it allows him to perform feats such as catching arrows mid-flight and sword blades between the palms of his hands, avoiding automatic and even well-aimed gunfire, punching holes in concrete, performing feats of accuracy and precision that can boggle the mind, and shrugging off wounds that would cripple or kill mortal men. It is this ability, combined with his immense willpower, that has kept him in his physical prime despite being well over one hundred years old.

Skills:
Martial Arts - He has spent a great deal of his life studying and training in martial arts techniques around the globe, and has subsequently developed a new style of fighting that is unique to himself, combining the traits he has found most effective from the various disciplines he's studied, both armed and unarmed, with his hypercognitive instincts to produce a style that can become nearly unbeatable if utilized to its fullest potential.
Firearms - Due to possessing an innate sense of spatial awareness and trigonometry, he is a phenomenal shot with every known firearm, having trained in the use of pistols, shotguns, rifles, and even self-propelled projectile launchers. His hypercognitive mind allows him to instinctively perform the calculations required for making very difficult or even otherwise impossible shots, such as deflecting a bullet off a surface to strike a target out of his direct line of sight or sniping a target from a kilometer away with perfect accuracy. Whether these feats are due entirely to his mind or also supplemented by his rule bending is unknown.

Weapons:
A pair of modern tomahawks

You should probably make it. My Internet access is going to be limited for the next while.
I just posted in the jedi duel...
So... Were we going to do that low-tier melee brawl or not?
Alright, I'm going to apologize in advance for anything I didn't get right in my last post. I had to make a couple assumptions about your attack, due to a small lack of detail.

The primary assumption I ran with was that the attack was a light one that didn't have a lot of power behind it (since your saber was held in front of your chest and wouldn't have had much space to build up power, and also because it was one-handed), and that it was a swing from your left to right (or my right to left) that was about chest height (my chest height).

The other option was that it was a slash from your right to left, but that would leave your left-hand saber in a poor position to defend once the strike was finished, since your right saber would then be crossing in front of it. So I went with the first option.

I also assumed your stance remained mostly even and head-on, since you never specified otherwise.
She moved quickly, though not as quickly as the sleeper jedi had in their brief scuffle, and there was more than enough warning from the shifting of her stance and the expression on her face. She may have been trained in combat, and even become highly proficient at it, but it was clear that subtlety was never a part of that training. For an Umbaran, subtlety and manipulation came as easily as breathing, as did the ability to detect and read intentions, and not just in the mind alone. On a world of telepaths, all of whom guarded their minds jealously, it was necessary to cultivate more conventional means of reading the intentions of the beings around you. Even without any remembrance of his previous life, Bloodshot was still an Umbaran to the core and something ingrained that deep did not simply go away because a few memories were lost. Her movements were as clear to him as the pages of an open book as she charged forward. The foot she lead with, the positioning of her sabers, the locations her eyes darted to in the moments before her attack.

It was like watching a holofilm three seconds ahead of everyone else, so when her saber streaked in from his right, his right foot drew back slightly to brace his body and his gauntlet blade shrieked forth from its housing and was there to meet her blade, trapping her left-hand saber on the far side of her body as he prevented her strike from passing clear of him. His left foot came clear of the floor and drove forward, aiming to smash into her ribcage just below her right breast and throw her backwards and off-balance. The positioning of her right arm, crossing her body to engage the blade attached to his right gauntlet, would mean that a successful defense from her left hand saber would require the severing of her own arm, which left evasion as her only reliable means of defense. That or the force, but he had a suspicion this one's talents were more focused on the aspects of the physical, rather than displays of raw power.
