Calling all Roleplayers interested in serious RPs!

[[Sov]]

Colio posted that he'd be away for a few weeks on the temporary board so I'm not sure what we should do about this fight scene. We can divert the scene away to something else and break it up, what do you say Otebon? Others?

[Otebon Albrecht]

Personally... as this is training and the situation has changed, I'm fine with changing and think it may be a better idea anyways as it would get a larger participation base.

Want me to build a fighting ring scenario?

[[Sov]]

Please do.

[Otebon Albrecht]

New Scenario:

Welcome to Jordan College of War. You've been accepted into our prestigious fighting school, but first we have to determine what skills you do you. Choose your opponent and step into the ring. Weapons are allowed!

Give it your all and don't stop until your told!


Jovi and I will be running "instructors" in combat situations. Because I'm obsessed with Hand-to-Hand and older styles of combat, this is a medieval / renaissance style combat. Anything you can think of up to a steampunk style of weapon is acceptable (this means firearms are okay, but not machine guns... single shots then reloads).

*As I don't know what characters Jovi wants to run, I'll leave those open ended for her to fill when she gets the chance.

*Once more, no app is needed, just start writing.


Otebon walked forward and looked at the new recruits.

"Good morning," he said, not expecting or allowing a response. "Today is Proving day. Although we, the instructors of Jordan College, don't expect that you can land a blow on us that doesn't mean that you shouldn't try. Give us your all and we'll deal with the grading. I'll be over there," he said as he pointed off to one of the large circular arenas. "Pick your instructor for your 1 on 1 test. Dismissed."

Otebon turned and went to the large circle marked out on the ground a short distance away. Once there he drew his sword and laid the simple scabbard to the side.

The other instructors were already in their circles and ready to receive students.

Lucas was sitting cross-legged in his circle(the one farthest to the left) with his spear laid across his knees. The moderately built German Shepherd was speaking to an Artic Fox, Mistress Althea, with her thin dueling blade held lightly in her left hand. Next to those two, Master Caelum (nicknamed "the Bull" for his species and his fighting style) stood in the exact center of his circle with a large shield and a heavy sword held firmly, but in a relaxed way, to his side.


Your choices are as follows...

Otebon (Timber Wolf, Western long sword)
Lucas (German Shepherd, Spear)
Althea (Artic Fox, Chinese Dueling blade)
Caelum (Ox, sword and shield)
And whatever Jovi puts forward (unless she wants control of one of mine).

First come, first served.

Jovi stood behind Otebon with her arms crossed over her chest, her tail hanging idly behind her. "You may refer to us as the masters. As Master Albrecht said, please choose your opponent." She walked over to Otebon and sat down next to him to watch the newest recruits.

So note that I don't have a whole lot to do with Jovi right now, she's going to have the same role as Otebon, which is the grader. For this exercise and this exercise alone I am going to be bringing two of my retired characters out of the woodwork because they were fun to fight with.

Here is my list for you to choose from:
Katayida (RETIRED CHARACTER)- Female Horse, Staff
Creature (RETIRED CHARACTER)- Male Western Dragon, Double Sided Axe
Bones- Brass Knuckles- Male, Wolf/Gryphon/Unicorn.
Holly- 2 Daggers- Female, Panther

Craw shifted his cloak around him. His weapon was his armour- a cloak from an exotic land, the hem lined with razor blades. The bird shifted his gaze around the circle. "I'll take the white vixen." He says, following with an angry caw as he stands up and stalks into the ring.
"Will you dance with me?"

He ruffles his tawny feathers in anticipation. Was his challenge too bold? Was he even ready to face her? Craw didn't like looking like a fool. Whatever. What happens happens. he thought. It was time to fight.

[Cifero Windtail]

Interesting...

Well... I'm  going to try this now...



Jack rushed to the Proving room, panting hard. Darn alarm clock! he thought to himself as he ran into the room, panting. "Sorry," he said. "My... my alarm didn't go off..." He looked around. "Ok... um... I'm supposed to fight one of you or something?"

[Otebon Albrecht]

(yeah Cif... this is a combat scenario to train. I was trying to keep the interactions to a minimum to move straight to the combat. Go for it.)

[Cifero Windtail]

(sorry that i missed a few steps)
"Okay... um..." Jack looked between the choices he had left, skipping over the white fox. Finally, his eyes rested on Holly, who fought with daggers like he did. "Seems appropriate," he said to himself, walking up to her and bowing deeply. "Shall we, madam?" he asked, looking up at her from his bowed position.

[Otebon Albrecht]

I'll let Holly play with you Cif. As one of my characters has been chosen, I'll go with that.


"Oh come on Lucas," Althea said while laughing. "One little smile! For the students!" She noticed that one of those students had just approached her. She turned to face him with a wide smile and a sweep of her fluffy tail.

"Why of course I'd love to dance with you," She said as she made a soft curtsy to the Bird. She flourished her blade to fit her curtsy and flicked it into a ready position. "Let's begin shall we?"

Holding her blade in her left hand still she lept forward, blade extended, and aimed for the student's left knee.


The combat has commenced. I'll try to write as clearly as possible so that you know what's going on. For reference, this is Althea's blade. It's called a "Jian", but I don't think that's a common name... (http://trialx.com/curetalk/wp-content/blogs.dir/7/files/2011/05/cities/Jian-1.jpg)

Also, what is your species / name?

[Dirtcopter77]

(My character's name is Craw, and he is a hunting falcon. Sorry I wasn't clearer earlier, but there didn't seem to be a good spot to explain.)

Craw saw the blade flick towards his knee, and neatly sidestepped it. He wanted to get a feel for her attacks first, but she was waiting for him to attack. He stepped just out of reach of her sword, and whipped his cloak at her face. He followed up with a short kick, talons extended, at her shins.

Am I supposed to harm her? he wondered. It didn't seem right for a training bout, but he didn't have much of a choice.


Internet will be out for most of today- I will be temporarily unavailable.

[Cifero Windtail]

Alright, I'll wait for her to get on so we can begin sparring.

[Otebon Albrecht]

(Thanks for letting us know.)

Althea ducked away from the strange bladed cloak and spun away from the kick. To do this, her body seemed to contort into an impossible-to-balance-from position in constant motion. While never ceasing her own movements, her blade was brought across her own body, flat so that it could defend in her strange repositioning move, before flicking out in a horizontal slash just at shoulder level. The sound of the blade moving through the air could be heard.

[Beatnory]

(I just go with Beat. a fox and his weapon is a sword, I have no inspiration. Also I think it's better to wait until the other fight are over. Can I fight to Caelum?)

[Otebon Albrecht]

(Please jump in. The reason there are a ton of people to fight is so everyone gets one. I was planning to make 3-4 posts a time. I just did Dircopter's because I'm writing a paper and therefore bored off my rocker! :p)
