Yeah, I'll enter with Anna, should be interesting as she's so environment dependent.

To the Screams of the Roman Mob

Brennus watched his spear point be effectively blocked by his opponent’s heavy armour and nodded to himself. As expected, the armour was too thick to be penetrated by a single-handed spear thrust, leaving him with fewer options for getting past his opponent’s guard.

Still, the strike had knocked the Spartan off balance and he had dropped to the floor momentarily, scrabbling for his spear. Brennus had no intention of allowing him to escape from such a strange manoeuvre without at least bleeding a little, which was why he immediately pressed, his spear already dragged back a few paces after his initial strike was repelled.

The Spartan was facing him now, but preparing to rise with his spear, which Brennus expected he would immediately swing. Unfortunately, the smaller reach of the Spartan’s weapon was to count against him again, as Brennus was out of its range while within his own weapons range, allowing him to thrust safely at the inside of the Spartan’s right thigh, aiming to cut along its side rather than pierce into the thick muscle.

Brennus thrust, following the ordinary manoeuvres for such a movement, yelling with the explosive energy of his attack.

The Hot Headed, Heavy Hitters, Have it Out (Fury vs Kanitah, Round 2)

He’s right, I should be chasing him down and breaking his jaw while he wastes his breath yammering on at me Fury thought darkly. The Fireen looked unperturbed by his damaged armour as he had turned to face his opponent after his act of acrobatics. Though his brow was furrowed, the first sign of his temper flaring, the Fireen was still in relative control by some extreme act of willpower. Kanitah was picking up on his restraint, not realising that telling him to fight properly was probably not in his best interests, the Unbridled rage of the Void being an almost unstoppable force, and one Fury detested using except in the most extreme circumstances. There was still a touch of Manadar behind the shell of Fury and the soul of the Void.

Fury put his personal problems aside. He had come too far to back out of the fight with Kanitah now, which left him few options, either to kill him or beat him to the point where he couldn’t oppose Fury in the future. Fury noted his defensive stance and briefly considered launching energy glaives to cut the cocky warrior in two, abandoning the plan as he considered his finite and slowly dwindling energy reservoirs. His eyes narrowed as he took in the distance separating them, it was time he had a bite to eat.

Fury shifted back into a kick-boxing stance after closing the distance between them to about six feet, provided Kanitah hadn’t moved that is, in which case he would have gone on the defensive. He would then promptly circle Kanitah from outside his range, moving quickly behind him to strike low with an outside Ilyushin to his left knee with whatever leg was most suitable, targeting either the back front or side of the knee depending on the smaller warrior’s response.

What are the qualifications for a fight to need a judge?

@Imaginary

If you want a ranked fight that will count towards you gaining points for this threads leader-board, you need a judge. That's all.

Being specifically designed to resist heat is troublesome for my heat based character to fight. I don't mind loosing battles but it would be best if we did a nonranked if you want this matchup.

@ImportantNobody

There's a significant difference between armour that is heat resistant and armour that is immune to lava.

It will still melt under sustained damage, you can't really expect more than that, unless you expect your opponent to be unresistant to fire in which cause they will literally just melt and die instantly from the powers your character is using.

I don't really have any high tier characters suitable other than Higan for fighting a character with strafing-run proof armour and lava attacks.

To the Screams of the Roman Mob

My character had to step closer to reach your character's body with the spear, so the point is only just in range of him, when your character avoids the spear he then pulls his spear back ready for another strike (this is the point where your kick would miss, because you're essentially racing the point of a spear which is incredibly quick) and moves in close to make up the distance your character makes by backflipping.

It's less my characters arms that need to be fast and rather the very end of a spear, which is incredibly quick.

impossible, they haven't even seen eachother in order to start looking longingly at eachother

Arena Chat Thread

Saanga might be fun to use and fight against but he's pretty powerful. Guess it's good that you're fine fighting a loosing battle. MWAHAHAHAHA!

@ImportantNobody

I'll fight that character with

Higan, A.S.P operator

Higan (pronounced Hee-gan)

Race: Ramor (prounounced Ra-more) a race with a number of similarities to humans, they are humanoid mammals with the same number of appendages. The only significant differences are that they are more tolerant to temperature extremes and can last for longer periods of time without water, oxygen, food and sleep. Essentially they are an all-round hardier race of people. Their skin is thicker than a humans, and regardless of climate always dark olive in complexion. The average height for males is 5ft and females slightly higher, and their eyes are somewhat larger on average than a humans. Their life spans range around 60-70 years, even with their modern medical technology.

Gender: Male

Age: 28

Height: 5ft 2”

Weight: 80kg

Appearance: Higan has the characteristic dark olive skin of the Ramor, with broad shoulders and a noticeably muscular body. His eyes are green and his hair is buzz cut and dark brown. He has wide friendly features with an honest looking face, though splashes of scarring tend to mar this image somewhat. The scars are small and livid, running across both of his cheek bones in a seemingly random pattern. They came from exploding glass. In his cockpit he wears a simple pilot outfit which is dark green in colour. The technology of the Ramor has allowed them to produce high-durability weave armour, so despite the seeming simplicity of his clothes they provide him with roughly the same protection as a Kevlar vest.

Personality: Course, honest, rough, determined, intelligent, witty, good humoured.

Physical Traits: Higan is physically impressive, though well within human capability. He can bench roughly 300kg and run at 15mph, his extensive endurance training allows him to remain fighting fit for extended periods of time. His senses are roughly similar to a humans, though he has slightly greater vision, especially in low light conditions.

Skills: Higan is a soldier of the 12th Division, a.k.a L.A.S light armour and support. He has been trained for roughly 10 years to become adept at a number of combat orientated skills, namely.
Hand to hand combat
Firearms training
Endurance training
Scout training/Survival training
Ranger/Sniper training
Demolitions
Artillery
Armoured Support Platform (ASP) piloting

Background: Higan is a member of the 12th division of the Grent Republic's Army, a militaristic state in an alternate earth torn asunder by war. He is unmarried, after recently breaking up with his girlfriend and fiancée of three years, he was born in the republic to an officer of the army and found his path marked out for him.

Equipment: A.S.P
14” Steel Combat Knife
.50 calibre revolver, 6 shot chamber, 6 additional rounds.
Survival Kit (first aid, GPS, flare gun, etc.)

Higan’s main combat capabilities are drawn from his A.S.P, or Armoured Support Platform, which is in colloquial terms a one-man mechanical unit with walker capabilities. It looks roughly like the image below.

Reference Picture

A.S.P (130)
The A.S.P is actually in Ramor terms relatively low-powered, serving in a support and scouting role alongside mainline forces.
Height: 12ft
Width: 5ft
Weight: 30 tonnes
Length: 4ft

Armaments: The A.S.P is equipped with primary, secondary and tertiary armaments for a number of different combat scenarios.
Primary: 105mm Rifled A.S.P Gun (basically a tank gun) capable of firing HEAT warheads (similar to 3BK-31) smoke canisters and anti-personel rounds (which fire multiple flechettes). Due to the relatively small storage space for ammunition on the A.S.P 130 it may only carry five of each of these rounds. It can fire roughly twice per minute. Rounds are ejected when spent underneath the barrel through an automatic sliding door.

Secondary: 40mm anti-material rifle, RPM 20, 100 rounds, can be separated from the Mech without breaking, but it weighs just under a tonne and can’t be fired by anything other than the mech.

Tertiary: Anti-Personnel Suppression, Chaingun, .50 cal, 300rpm, 1200 rounds.

Armour: The A.S.P 130 is constructed using plates of titanium sandwiching plates of depleted uranium with alumina tiles worked in (similar to Chobham armour). This gives it a relatively light-weight body while offering significant protection from anti-tank measures. The RHAe values for the armour are as followed.
Front: 800mm
Back: 400mm
Sides: 300mm
Arms: 250mm
Legs: 500mm
Optics: 100mm
Joints: 100mm
Top: 200mm

The Armour is specially designed to resist heat. It does not conduct electricity into the electronics or pilot area. Internal heating systems can adjust for extreme drops in temperature up to -100 degrees, at the cost of hydrogen fuel.

The A.S.P is also equipped with an Active Protection System, which, like modern day tanks, is capable of confusing heat-seeking and other guided missiles with large concentrations of infra-red.

Damage control systems: The A.S.P is equipped with a number of automatic systems similar to those seen in a modern day tank, ammunition is kept in self-contained storage spaces linked to their respective weapon, reducing chance of self-destruction. Fire is automatically fought by internal systems.

Filter System: The A.S.P is essentially a mobile bunker, filtering hostile elements from the air.
Optics: The A.S.P is augmented with an optical sensory unit with a 180 degree depth of view directly in front. This includes a zoom function of up to 60x, night vision, thermal vision, and electric vision. The main weapons are connected to this system and can target and adjust in 0.20 of a second. The pilot still has control over when to fire, and can over-ride targeting systems to manual control if they wish.

Computer System: Linked to Optics, the computer system on the A.S.P can provide the pilot with data based on a rough estimation of a target. It can estimate things like, thickness, speed and weapon calibres.

It has a backup system in place in the case of damage to main optics (which are located roughly where the head would be on a human.) where the armour peels back from directly in front of the pilot’s head, allowing him physical view of around 90 degrees in front through a bullet proof double paned window. This is obviously a major weakness, and is only to be used as a last resort.

Physical Traits:
Strength: The A.S.P only has one available hand unless it abandons its secondary weapon. Regardless, with just the one hand it can lift up to twenty tonnes of weight. The crushing grip of the hand can easily bent metal or destroy rock. The legs of the walker are significantly stronger, capable of lifting up to 50 tonnes of weight each. Though the machine can’t ‘kick’ it can jump up to fifteen feet into the air.

Speed: The A.S.P has been clocked moving at speeds in excess of 70mph, which is impressive for a walker, it is the fastest Armoured Support Vehicle in Ramor. Its acceleration is 7 seconds 0-70 mph.

Agility: The A.S.P is capable of manoeuvring in tight quarters, but regardless its size is still a limiting factor on its agility. Though far less cumbersome than a tank, it takes almost twice as long for an A.S.P to turn around than an ordinary human, it can however adjust its weapons incredibly quickly and its arms can move at roughly human speeds.

Speaker System: The A.S.P may project the pilot’s voice through external speaker systems on the chest plate.
Comm Link: The A.S.P has com links similar to those in use in the modern day military.

Power System: The A.S.P is fuelled by a Ramor speciality, hydrogen gas fuel canisters with an effective life span of 20 hours in active use. They are stored at the rear and bottom of the mech (obviously protected by the back armour) and are roughly 60cm in diameter. They will explode if hit.

Unless he's too strong for you, in which case I may just use Anna again.

Is it bad to say, that I patiently waited two weeks after my 21st birthday for a day off so that I would have a full day to recover from getting shitfaced?

Because that's what I did.

@LeeRoy

Just never go to bed and do whatever the next day, such are the lessons of University.

Arena Chat Thread

Well, if you want me to have the advantage name one and I'll issue the challenge with one of my characters, but it would probably benefit you to challenge me as you get to pick the battle.

Hell choose the arena as well if you want, I'm so bored I'll fight a losing battle for the thrill of it.
