Matthew sighed and followed alongside them pushing through the crowd. "Fine, you got me. I want to test my skill, only so much you can learn from facing offended Nobles and Knights in honor duels and bandits in Valm are weak compared to the people I've faced here." He sighed and drew something from his pocket. "As for trusting me, you can take this as collateral, it's my family pendant with a portrait of my sister in it. It's the most valuable thing I own. Listen I don't want this fight for the money, I want to learn and grow as person and a tactician, I'm out here for two reasons, to make friends and to become a better warrior. I want to learn and grow from my fights but you can't learn unless you fight someone tough enough to teach you." He said matter of holding an ornate gold locket, the outside was craved with one side symbol of Naga and the other the symbol of his house, if you flicked it open you find a painted picture of a young women, dirty blonde smiling softly at it, it looked as if she could speak any moment. "So fight with me or go about your business, your choice sir."

Fallout Tactics has death claws that can talk, scary killer robots, and the ability to have a tank. It just doesn't... Sit well with the rest of lore.

Alright thanks for the interest.
"Well I don't plan on changing the look, but you are right I've done quite of bit a work as a mercenary over last few years and spent the rest of time trained by knights in my homeland. I do however tell stories and perform, it's a better living than killing people." He chuckled looking to Jiro. "However you can boast as much as you like but I think there a few here who could take you in a sword fight. But I digress, I'm actually here for the arena fighting, it's good and well earned plus it's only to first blood. So I was wondering if you might be interested in joining me, I'd like to compete against the current champions, the temple monks." He said smiling as he looked them over again, these two looked like they could really fight. "We win plenty of money to go around from the prize and the bookie will pay us a portion of what he makes."
Matthew looked at the two men beside him, sighing he turned back to the shop looking over the goods once more. "How about that one? It's a sapphire craved in the shape of pegasus, it's a little more expense compared to the others but it's very well done and it seem rather quaint. However if your set on a holy symbol they do have have silver trimmed symbol of Naga, through since it's a girl I think should prefer the pegasus." He chuckled after showing them the two objects. "Hey wait, I know that accent, your from Valm are you not? I'm Rosanne myself, I'm Matthew a traveling tactician and story teller." He said extending a hand for a shake, he was glad to meet these two them seemed nice enough however the clothes and weapons told him they were mercenaries. He decided he would talk with them perhaps invite them back to the inn for a drink, if he could get them to fight with him they might go a round against the monks and win, he heard betting was heavily against all challengers, good profits.
Matthew left the square walking through the streets, he had spotted many a great things and even a Levin sword here at the festival. He sighed and pushed on, stopping near the pegasus knights he bowed and managed to even make pleasant conversation with one who had watched his match earlier. Humming he pressed on through the fair wandering now as time went on, he hoped to find someone to share a drink and stories with. Ah stories, if he wasn't a talented strategist he would have no doubt been a bard wandering and plying his trade at inn's. He would probably play he violin tonight at the inn and sing a few songs for the locals maybe even learn a few new ones.
Stopping at a trinket shop he browsed the goods, he was always picking up little mementos of the places he visited for his younger sister back home. Looking them over he saw one, a symbol of the Exalt engraved on a necklace. He purchased it and tucked it in to his bag turning back towards the crowds he looked for a way back to the inn he was staying at.

Alright I'll get a post up as soon as I can.
@vancexentan Not sure, maybe have him bump into the other two guys and they talk, find out he's from Valm and decided to get a drink and swap stories.
The City Of Schools
On Midway island Japan and United States began a project, to create a city intent for the brightest minds in the world, a modern city full of advanced technology. This came to pass and was crowned Academy city, a city built where only students and teachers lived, safe from war and strife. The students that attend the schools here normally want to specialize in a certain discipline from maids to mages. The was originally intended to be a prison Espers and Mages yet after consideration they decided it would be better as a school to teach and encourage there gifts. Thus the island was made a city of schools.
The Three Divisions
Making up the cities gifted populace are three kinds of people, Knights, Mages, and Espers. Knights are humans who train and become exceptional warriors relying on weapons and technology rather than natural gifts, they also the most common in the Enforcers, the all school security force that protects the students and deals with crime. Espers are those with psychic powers, born with a unique ability bestowed to them they focus and use it, Espers lack the variation of mages yet make up for it in strength. Espers also need there bodies to have energy to use there power. Mages however can cast spells learned from books or by etching runes on to a surface, magic is varied and utilitarian, some mages prefer to master one discipline while others enjoy being unpredictable and well rounded. A mages weakness lies in the need for a mana source, that can be the mage themselves or the air around them however, fights between mages drain mana from an area or themselves and it takes days to return. Mages often try to fight in mana rich area's or failing rest well and eat good before hand to ensure a strong mana reserve.
The Phase
The Phase is a plane parallel to our world, its where fights between students are carried out to avoid damage to the city or other students. the builds are immune to damage there yet you can touch them, you can even see in to the real world as if they are all ghosts. Yet you cannot touch any living object in the really world in the Phase, only buildings and inanimate objects. Which cannot be damaged in the Phase, likewise in our world we those in the fade as shimmering ghost like forms. Students who fall into the participating categories are issued a Phase-Watch that allows them to move between planes and battle others. These fights are normally done to settle disputes and Enforcers will show up to watch them and ensure both fighters live. Some fights are done in a official capacity to determine who is stronger, those fights often have special rewards or prizes for the winner.
The Plot And Summary
You are all new students attending Academy city, whether your gifted or just students trying get a good education your welcome here. Basically the plot will start at beginning of the school year and coming festival, this festival will have live combat games for all students and fights between gifted students, of course I'm leaving room to grow here as some people my want to play villain characters intent on beating everyone for personal gain or something along those lines.

I don't think I'm going to prom.
Jacob launched himself towards the three remaining combatants diving under the first one's strike he jammed his blade in between his ribs pulled away letting him crumple off the horse. "Please stay behind Miss." He asked the healer as the other two advanced, Jacob released a flame's there path the horse bucking them off as fled the growing flames. He stared at both and flicked his blade the blood on it hitting the dirt. "Go, run back to the Church, tell them I am the Champion and I will see the peace restored to our world. You will not terrorize rape and pillage our homes under the pretense of killing heathens, now little mice run along." They two men raced away shedding armor and weapons, they had faced the Champion of Naga and lived, they feared the reprisal of there commander yet it seemed to be nothing compared to what that boy might do.
He turned back to the group with a sad look in his eyes as he looked over the destruction. "So much death... Why? I can't fathom the need for all this..." He said then looked at the other's gathered near him. "I'm sorry for bringing the extra trouble with me, but we should get you to safety." He looked back towards his forces advance, reinforcements and scavengers had clogged the battlefield. "Damn, we can't go back the way I came... No offense but it's to thick with enemies, we would be better off to take it slow and fight our way though." He looked the scared looking mage that had earlier called out his age. "I am still just a boy but I have misfortune of being told I have to fix all this, I know it's scary and I know you just want to run but please stay close if you run you could get captured or killed, I promise you'll all be fine." He said looking between the swords women, the healer, and the mage. "I'd give my life to keep any of you safe." With that he began to head back towards the fighting, his tightly gripping his sword.
