Well, I wont speak for everyone else, but for ol' Jerod, he was told to go kill things. The semantics and politics? Hell, he can debate those later. Right now he has things to axe.
@Rithy Venerate dat ass. On a serious note, nice to get another perspective on our foes.
Jerod


Jerod grinned ferally when the lightning struck, heaving his axe off his shoulder into a ready position, turning to face the three remaining lancers. Poor sods were probably expecting to face off with the Champion lad himself or something, lances were useful for dealing with swords users. Not his axe though, and he didn't even blink as the arrow slammed into his shoulder, forcing him to step back from the impact, looking at the arrow now jutting out of his shoulder before turning his gaze onto the middle of the three lancers, and inhaled quite calmly before letting loose with a wild, angry scream as he leaped headlong into the three lanchers, axe held high to bring down onto the first poor sod he reached. "AH'LL KILL E'ERY LAS' ONE O' YE, YE DAMN'D PRANCIN' NINNIES!" Probably a jarring shift for all parties involved, allies and enemies, since up until that point, Jerod hadn't given the slightest indication he would have such an all consuming battle rage.

Lances gave reach, which tended to make them feel safer against swordsman who couldnt reach them safely. It was why swords were not recommended for dealing with lances. Axes, though, their weight smashed through the supposed reach that they had, and besides, reach only helped against someone who cared whether or not they survived. A man willing to leap into a line of spearmen, screaming his defiance for all to hear, bringing an axe down with enough force to shatter a man's weapon, well, that was probably not what they were ready for. The first man who had the baleful attention of Jerod didn't even get a chance to stutter out a response as the fighter cleaved downwards with all his momentum and weight, smashing the lance in half and crumpling the man into the ground, jerking his now bloodied axe out of as he whirled onto the next one, letting loose with a ceaseless barrage of heavy handed, brutish swings that left little opening for the poor soldier under assault. The other one recovered and jabbed forward, embedding the spear tip into Jerod's side, hoping to at least stem the assault.

"IF YE DAMN'D FOOLS T'INK T'AT'LL STOP ME, YE'R DAMN FOOLS!" Jerod roared and spun, wrenching the spear tip from his side and catching the man he was turning from with the backside of his axe, concussing him and sending him crashing to the ground as he leaped full force onto the offending lancer, raining a heavy crescendo of blows that would have left little more than mincemeat and a badly damaged lance. The last had recovered his wits enough to try and attack the distracted, battle mad fighter, and scored a glancing blow like the archer and other lancer had, and Jerod was quickly splattered with enough blood that telling his, from anyone elses, was nigh on impossible. Jerod spun, running the lance into his already injured side to snare it in place so he could freely smash his axe down into the offending lancer's head, more than once as he crumpled to the ground, and was left little more than a mess as Jerod ripped the lance clear, screaming at the horsemen hiding from him behind the wagons, fixing his sights on the largest group. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH" Short of the Champion reigning him in and redirecting his rage, he would gleefully go charging headlong into the largest group of enemies he could find next, survival and injuries be damned.
Excellent, been looking forward to writing the first actual combat post for Jerod. And I think I'll be having Niya catch up about the same time the Khan and her Champion do, completely independent of her of course.
@Treue You got it boss, done and done.

Oh, BTW. Light for the most part will be comedic relief. Don't take that as she is weak though, as if you make her really mad, she'll show you "A Bad Time". Think Sans, but even more murder-y. xD And unlike him, she wont get tired.

But yeah, shes made for autohit slapstick guys, so go for it.


Does that include a sweet soundtrack to the bad time? That might make it obligatory then.

And last time I played SkullGirls, was learning to play Big Band. Good times, there, good times.
Missed so much discussion while I was asleep, blast it all.
The Scorned First Platoon, what a bunch to have fallen into. Corporal Jericho Cross, former Grenadier of the Death Korp's own Siege Regiments, was sitting eerily still as the Valkyrie hurtled down towards whatever misbegotten planet he was going to fight upon now. He was strapped into the transport vessel that the Guard favored, and he found himself missing the cramped, metal boxes that were the Chimeras rolling forward to deposit their Grenadiers into the heart of the enemies weakest point. That was his job, while the regular Krieg troopers ground away in the trenches, where he would indeed spend much of his time as well, it was the Grenadiers that took the special jobs. The Death Korp had no Storm Troopers, Grenadiers were the closest they got to that, and he was it. He missed the trenches, they didn't rock around nearly as much, but he went where the Emperor willed. And glory be unto him, he was willed to be here, with former gangers and penal legionnaires. The others of the platoon registered little to Cpl. Cross, they were marching into death with him, that was enough. They would die, or they would succeed. Let the Emperor judge them for their deeds otherwise, as he did in all things.

The brief was simple enough, charge into the jaws of the enemy, snatch a figure vital to the Imperium out of them, and get them to safety, or die trying. Death and suicide missions were no stranger to the Krieger, their bread and butter was suicide missions, hopeless sieges, and impossible odds. And, by the grace of the Emperor and sheer statistical certainty in numbers, they won. The Krieg Grenadier was silent, face unreadable under his gasmask and respirator, only the steady breathing and checking of his Mark XIV Lasgun ever indicated he was even awake, or alive. The Lieutenant was crass, as expected from a ganger, but the Krieger said nothing, she was in charge, and that was that. She could order the Krieger to leap into the maw of a greater daemon with nothing but an entrenching tool, and he would do his damn best to take it with him. Being informed they would be defending the bridge first reassured the Krieg Grenadier, after all, siege work was as much defending your line, as it was breaking theirs. Cpl. Cross felt right at home with the idea, and was merely waiting for the Valkyrie to reach the drop point. The men of Krieg had faced daemons and traitor Marines before, and today, another Krieger gladly did so again.
Finally got my force guy knocked out.
