Battle Posture & Weapon Brandishing

[Kalidor]

I must also add Wataru that I think it is totally awesome that your forum persona is a Narcissist. It isn't something that a lot of people would choose, and it's totally cool that you are going for something so unique. Also, you flesh it out really well! I can almost see your character in the company of Vincent and Simone.

[Raze]

Indeed, Narcissists and the like are great comedy. :3

Thanks for the praise. It really means a lot. Off-board I am an actor, so trying out new characters and trying to play them convincingly is something I strive to do. This persona is quite different from my real personality in many ways, and it is great training for the stage to be able to RP like this. I'm just glad that I am being consistent and that it makes sense.

Thanks again!

[Scarlet Assassin]

*Smacks Wataru* What did I tell you about going around and calling people pet names?

Anyway, time for the Scarlet assassin to flex his muscles.

Battle Intro: Id calmly steps into view, unscrewing the head of his canesword. He drops the body of the cane to his side and takes the weapon in his right.

Neutral stance: Id stands with his left facing his opponent, his sword concealed behind him.

Attack: In a flash he dashes across the field and is upon his opponent. He faces his opponent now with his entire front exposed. He makes one diagonal slash from his right, headed upward towards his opponent's right shoulder, then mirrors the attack, turning slightly and slashing from his adversary's right hip, to his left shoulder.

Critical: The body of the cane reappears in his hand (VG logic, don't argue, just enjoy) quickas lightning he is near his opponent, he swings with his left hand (carrying the body of the cane) and lifts his legs so that he spins. The first swing falls short, but his momentum from this attack carries him forward. Turning his body, Id slashes with the blade, inflicting critical damage, then uses his left hand to launch the body of the cane towards his opponent, this also inflicts critical.

Retreating: He sheathes his can and takes off, off the screen and back into ambiguity.

Defensive stance: The blade of his sword is tilted slightly so that the tip is barely visible past his body. His left arm is raised and bent. his forearm kept horizontal just below chin level, and about 14 inches away from his body.

Rune casting: Id whips his left hand out with an open palm, magic animation ensues.

Counter Attack: He sidesteps his opponent's attack and palms the strike to the side, inflicting .3 damage, then delivers a lashing blow with his sword inflicting the other .7

Victory Pose: Trumpets sound and he lifts his fist into the air repeatedly, Gil and EXP are distributed...woops, wrong game. Id calmly sheathes his sword and screws it back into the cane.

Critical Condition: Id fights to stay on his feet, buckling every few seconds.

Defeated: He drops to the ground, his sword at his side.

Why is it that everyone feels the need to stick their sword in the ground, do you know how hard it is to get mud off a blade? It causes the steel to rust! Believe me, I own swords, sticking them in the ground is not the best idea.

Well in my case, the sword was the only thing holding up my character just before his death, but I don't know why people like to stab their swords into the ground doing magic and such. I guess it's just sort of an endearing image, the solitary sword sticking out of the ground. I blame advertisments for the movie Braveheart; I can still see his sword quivering slightly after it penetrated the ground from his throw. What an image :)

This should be interesting for a few people at least, while it will get my mind off of a few things in my head right now. Anyways, thats what posting on a forum is all about right? Forgetting about anything thats going on, and just posting about this, and that. With that said, and done time to write this thing out shall we?

Battle Intro: Walking, as a completely cloaked figure towards combat, I whip out my magic weapon for fun combat. While doing so the hood whips off my head showing off my black curly hair. Not to mention, showing off my interesting weapon of sorts. The deadly, the devastating, the uber powerful.... SPORK.

Neutral stance: Obviously being bored with needing to stand neuturally, my character whips out a cigarette, and lights it. I dont smoke it, but I show my boredom through the fact I have time to smoke a cigarette during battle.

Attack: I sort of walk/ float my way over to my opponent, just staring at them causing them to turn away from me. At that very moment, I whip out my spork of infinite doom, and repeatedly stab them with it up to 32 times.

Couter Attack: Floating back from an attack, I follow that up with a massive lunge to the brain cavity region of the enemy with my spork. Not an instant kill, but damn thats gotta hurt.

Return: A simple vanish act, at which point it's a case of now you see me, now you dont. Which is how I am, usually on the forum anyway since I am cool like that.

Defensive stance: Sitting on a chair, facing my opponent blocking sword attacks without looking, while pretending to care, or worse yet pretending to be sleeping.

Critically injured: Having gotten injured by some fluke attack from an enemy, I become enraged, starting to thrust my spork at air for the heck of it.

Rune casting: Holding my spork high above my head, I begin to chant in a language unknown to any but the best wizards know. My spork then falls back into my hand, before emiting a huge magical energy of whatever rune I was using.

Victory Pose and comment: Yawning, and obviously no longer interested I simply say " Did you really think that in a million years you could defeat me?"

Defeated comment: Defeat? You cant defeat me, i wield the unbeatable spork of doom.... wait why am I lying on the ground?

This seems fun, I'll try my best on this one.
I'll portray myself here as a fencer...

Intro: VF gets his epee from the sheath on his left side. He grabs it and removes it from the scabbard, raising it up, opointing forward, and glides it to the side diagonally. Actually, it's the normal fencing salute before any game.

Victory Pose: VF jumps up in a childish fervor and quickly turns 360 degrees and makes a face at the enemy.

Quote: "Yeah! We managed to beat 'em! Can we go now?"

That was fun! :D

Rune Casting: Beasty uses his fingers to scribble rune inscriptions in the air and screams of tortured souls can be heard from afar. Darkness will consume everything.

Victory Pose: Beasty licks the blade of his scythe and gets his opponent's weapon as souvenir.

Critically Injured Pose: Beasty kneels on one knee and his body shakes out of pain and exhaustion.

Defeated Pose:
Beasty let's out a loud scream saying: "Moooommmmmmy!!!" :twisted:
