Crazy Scion

Scion: A Modern Odyssey

I would be interested in joining. I have an idea for a character who is the son of Hades, but it wouldn't be immediately apparent to people who meet him. I'm also thinking his ability set will be more support utility then combat oriented.

My downside is I'm an active poster when I'm home but I do work 3 to 11 Mountain Standard Time, or Arizona time. When people are active affect how often I can post. If everyone is on when I'm on at night, it would be perfect. I could even put in multiple posts a day, but if no one's active than one a day will be my average. Is that alright with you?

Haeo can my character be friends with your character. Be recent friends or something.

I am very interested in this RP and wish to draw up a character, but I need sometime to out it together.

Skallagrim VS Crazy Scion [Combat Training]

I want to apologize for disappearing for so long. My sickness decided to kick it up a notch and I started feeling a lot worse this week. It didn't help that I can't take sick days, and working only seemed to make it worse. I'm not sure when I'll get better, but I'm hoping it doesn't persist for too much longer or I have to see a doctor. I don't want this RP to die, because I spent too much time away from it, so may attempt to put at least something together tomorrow.

I know you're the understanding type, but you seemed have been having quite a bit of fun with this, and I kind of feel bad for halting that.

Looks good to me Mahz. I look forward to the incoming changes.

Skallagrim VS Crazy Scion [Combat Training]

Scion hadn't counted on Skallagrim to able to match him step for step, never allowing him to move anywhere but right in front of him. If he thought it would help. He would have been glad to simply run them both right into the wave pool. However, he didn't feel that would really help him anymore then it would help Skallagrim. He decides instead to take one more half step and lean to his right, before quickly springing back on his right foot and stepping forward and to the left of Skallagrim(Skal's right), closing at least three feet between them with the sudden step. He however, suspected that Skallagrim would have no trouble following his attempted fake out and planned accordingly. As Scion is stepping forward with his left leg, he shifts the staff during its mad spin, shifting his left and right hand into and under and over grip respectively. As the staff enters a near vertical position, Scion archs its swing forward into down sweeping motion, using the circular momentum to add to the swings speed and power. The crucial part of his plan came as he committed to the swing, and instead of aiming for the current position of Skallagrim's right leg, he aimed where he believed Skallagrim would reflexively step to cut off his juking maneuver. He intended to catch the ankle and hook it on the staff's crystal. He would then spring off his left foot and twist his body to pull Skallagrim's leg out from under him. The move regardless of success would end with him back a his six foot distance where he would continue his spin.

Dennis was still working on locking in the coordinates for his plan. He needed to stretch his perception to the edges of his reach, in order to get the universal position of one of the lower parts of the lighting cage circling the park. He normally wouldn't consider using such high voltage electricity on a normal person. However, Skallagrim wasn't a normal person. The skeletal man would not be affected in the same way as other people would be. His body wouldn't conduct the electricity, and it would pass over him with relatively no harm other than some scorching. If things went as intended, then the weapons and armor would suffer the most under the unexpected electrical storm.

In the mean time, He would continue to dedicate most of his attention to Scion as subroutines finished gathering the rest of necessary data for the long range portals. He could see Scion intended to try to trip Skallagrim, but was wary of the sphere's circling Skallagrim, that Scion seemed to have ignored. They were giving off a strong magnetic field now, and he could see they now had the potential to mess with Scion's gear. Scion was also open to an easy counter with these spheres or even the dagger itself, if Skallagrim isn't thrown off enough by having his leg swept, and would need a quick counter. The relative arch of the Sphere's was consistent and predictable enough. Dennis decides to prepare several, easy coordinates, for small portals to spawn when the need to intercept Skallagrim's counter would inevitably arise.

I'm totally against betting points. The ranks are supposed to show the participants' skill in textual combat, which includes a variety of things - from knowledge of combat to analysis of your opponents strategy to forming one of your own - and allowing to bet points will skew the results, as a lucky bet based on simply the reputation of a fighter, and not an independent evaluation of their skill, could bring one higher up into the ranks than they have earned.

Betting anything else? Fine by me, that could actually be pretty fun.

@Vordak

I agree with Vodak on this one. As anyone could become higher or lower ranked than their actual skill would suggest with this method. If one wants to back another fighter. I would keep it to an in-character interaction.

Skallagrim VS Crazy Scion [Combat Training]

OK. I have got something. The shift from quick reactions to strategy is due to Scion calming down. He is able to think more clearly, but now has to try harder to anticipate his opponent instead of relying on instinct and reflexes to make snap decisions for him.

The big change this brings, is that if Skallagrim does something he didn't anticipate, then Scion will have a much harder time countering it. He'll need to rely more on Dennis to counter unexpected moves.
