4 months into this hole 'being a responsible adult thing' and I've come to a conclusion: It sucks and I want to go back to the days where I didn't have to plan out my game time.

Was supposed to be productive tonight. . . will try to be productive in the morning
@AtomicNutFixed it, Ian's now down one Blade, which hamoers him slightly, but still allows him to keep combat effectiveness. The more he loses, however, the less survivable hus situation will become.
@Ariamis to be truthful, Ian's enjoying every minute of this, and being outnumbered only multiplies that excitement by three.
@Ammokkx If it's that much of a bother, I'll cut back on it in future posts.
@AtomicNut It states that the The Shroud is "Made to stand the Test of battle", which is my way of saying that they're durable. Maybe I should've made that more clear, and I apologize for not doing so.
@AtomicNut The mech itself is fragile, but you said you hit the thrusters, which I took to mean the Shroud, which I stated clearky that they were much better protected, given that they are what makes the mech even remotely viable. Two more hits and it'll be done, but the thrusters on Anubis are separate from the actual mech itself.
@Ammokkx I only saw that after I posted, and I've already gotten to fixing it. Currently posting from my 2DS, so editung is not only tedious,,but murder on my hands. I just added something to make it so that he acknowledges them and gas a counter-measure set up fir if he gets shot at again, as well as a plan for facing off against Eloea if he beats Serah. Honestly speaking, I'm not liking Ian chances on this one. Dammit, why'd you have to pick me.
Ian couldn't keep the smile off his face throughout the entire engagement, it was just so much fun. This is so much better than regular combat drills, man we need to do this more often. Ian had barely been able to defend himself from Serah swing, the blade busting through his quickly made shields and carving into Anubis' side. It wasn't a deep cut, but it wasn't shallow either. Still, he'd be able to fight just fine regardless.
When Serah sent her sickles of energy at him, Ian retaliated by firing three charged bolts at each one, the higher damage able ti effectively neautralized the attacks, before he placed his weapons together to form the weapon that he and Anubis were most skilled in using, the Naginata, the blade of energy bearing a srrange red hue, rather than the normal silver coloring of both the spearhead and sword blades. Ian had set the change in motion when he threw the weapon, setting it to change on a pre-set timer of a minute, about how long their exchange had lasted.
"That was a nice warm-up for the both if us, huh Serah," Ian spoke through the Framewerk's outer speaker, allowing for the younger pilot to hear his words. As he spoke, Anubis got into a low stance, weapon at the ready. "How about we play for keeps this time, with a little bargain on the side. Winner of this personal bout gets to make the other do 3 things, and they must do so without complaint. These things, of course, can not be something harmful or malicious in nature. If you agree, than say 'Aye', okay." The second he finished, Ian shot forward with another Kinetic charge, though he'd had less time to prepare this one, so it wasn't as quick as the others he'd pulled off, but still pretty fast. However, as he launched himself forward, he'd feel one of Anubis' thruster's get hit.
That was actually putting it mildly, the Thruster was decimated, the sot tearing through the blade and leaving only a shattered edge and a floating piece of scrap metal in it's place.
A sniper, huh, good shot but you're going to have to do better than that to throw me off
Ian from continued on his present course of action as the other Thrusters easily pushed him forward towards his target, the one that was hit being instantly discarded. The loss of the blade would lessen his overall maneuverability more than his speed, though it did mean he couldn't make any more charges with them after this. He couldn't afford to lose another one, or else his overall battle performance ould drop immensely and he'd be done.
[i]Looks like I was right, how exciting, fighting 3 on one." Ian laughed as he continued onward, though he'd punched some numbers and set the scanners on high, making it so that if another shot was fired at him, it would automatically disengage from the target to avoid fire. Given the low energy emission varient of what hit him, however, he'd likely get grazed by the next shot that hit him, given how he wouldn't notice it until it was too late. Hopefully he'd be able to survive that if it came to pass. He also took note of Elora watching the scene with her drones. He'd go after her next after he funished with Serah, not wanting to have the excitable young pilot send another sickle at him while his bavk was turned.
He'd begin the assault with a passing slash, taking advantage if his superior range, as well as the fact that he could place more power into his attacks as he aimed low for a leg. He'd then turn around sharply with the use of the Shroud to engage with Serah again. This time, the advantage was on his side, as he swung the Naginata wildly around him while still keeping a distance from his opponent. He'd randomly throw in a thrust or jab when appropriate in an attempt to throw his foe off and cause her to reveal more openings, as well as blocking or parrying any of her attacks with the resilient shaft of the Rod.
Throughout this exchange, if any of his hits landed, a flow of red energy woukd flow into the Framewerk. While it would go unnoticed at first, as the fight prolonged, Serah would notice that her weapon system's would begin to weaken and malfunction, as well as the pause between her and Atty's actions begin to grow at a slow,,but steady rate. This was the work of Anubis' Distrubtion energy, which was blocking and jamming up internal communication's and software with in the Framewerk. And the more times that Atty took a hit, the eorse it would become.
@Ammokkx Sorry, This is what I had in mind for a speed brawler, plus Ian was already prepped to move full speed. He hits fast and hits hard, but they can be avoided, if you think Serah can manage it, though I'm not sure if all of it could. Also remember that Serah's hugher synch rate gives her a better reaction time as well. Aren't you in the 80-90% range.
Ian's face burst into a wide grin as Serah launched an attack his way,deciding that it was only fair to return the favor. He drew back his arm before sending the spear hurtling straight towards her Framewerk, Atty was what she had called it right, before he himself activated Anubis' specialized combat evasion software to calculate his escape, launching himself up into the air with such force coming from the Shroud that the crumbling building couldn't support itself anymore and collapsed, the energy blade that he had only just evaded smashing into the building behind him and causing it to fall over as well, causing a chain reaction of buildings falling over on each other, making the inner ruins a very hazardous area.
Ian had decided to leap over to Serah for two reasons, one being that it would give his spear time to reach Serah, and the second was because the sun would be behind him, blinding Serah if she looked up to locate him. That was unless she got hit by the spear, something he'd like but didn't expect, though on the chance he did, he'd aimed it more towards the upper left shoulder area. Given her armor type and the amount of energy out into the spear, it would likely plow right through the Framewerk, most likely halting or severely hindering use in that arm
Ian, using the advantage of the sun on his back and shining in his opponents eyes, used Last Rites to form a cluster of energy bolts, 6 for each arm, two for each spike, and launched 3 barrages down on to Atty, before he used the remaining Kinetic energy he'd saved up for another full speed, instant acceleration charge, this time moving in a straight line and only moving to avoid any attacks sent his way. Forming an energy sheild in front of the fist, Anubis was able to protect it's arm from the recoil of hitting another object at such high speeds, as the sheild absorb most of the impact from the strike before it violently disperses into a glittering silver haze.If Atty got hit, than it would certainly rattle it's pilot a bit, and Ian wasn't done yet. Right after the punch, Anubis would move to grab hold of the Framewerk and use the forward momentum to send them both into a wild forward spin, something that Ian's training and Anubis' gyroscopics would help him ride out, but it would probably disorient his opponent a bit if he succeeded in doing so, especially when he finished the spin by slamming the Framewerk into the ground.
He'd immmediately launch himself off of Serah, giving her another disorienting rattle as Atty would be blasted by both a wave of kinetic energy and a barrage of twelve energy bolts from Last Rites as he backed over to where his spear was located. He would quickly retrieve, than separate the weaon into it's slashing dual short sword form, before rocketing forward again to launch a high speed barrage of slashes at the other Framewerk, aiming to disable by cutting at the joints of the machine rather than to kill by slashing through the torso. Afterwards he'd back away from Atty and take a defensive position, keeping his eyes open for any possible return fire from her or opportunists thinking he'd be distracted fighting the other Framewerk.

Powers
Flames of Heaven: Caelus is able to conjure and command the golden fires of heaven, which take the form of golden lighting in his hands. He can make constructs out of it or wield ut directly, and it is used best for smitung foes from mid to long range with pinpoint accuracy and high damage, and while it has some use in CQC, it's not the specialty. Another aspect of this ability is that it inflicts an increase damage against demons, users of dark or unholy magic, basically any thing that isn't either neautral or goid in base nature. (Examples being Demons, Vampires, Necromancers, etc.)
Hellfire Manipulation: Due to the Demonic corruption with in his soul, he's able to use the black and blue fires of hell, which excels in all out destruction at close range. Like with the Divine Lightning, he can choose to wield them directly or form them into constructs, though hellfire constructs tend to be much more crude and volatile. They also can do enhanced damage to beings on the side of light or good, beings such as Angels, Clerics, etc.
Awakening: Caelus can choose to focus on either his Demon or Angelic side in order to increase his control and power with them, but not without a cost. Each side has 3 levels, lf which Caelus can access level one on his angelic side and two on his demon side. The higher the level, the more power he has in that particular ability, as well as a greater risk to his well being and that of those around him. he level he is currently in is indicated by the number of wings or horns he has in the Seraphim and Demon states, respectively, with the number increasing by two for each level, reaching a grand total of either six wings at his highest Seraphim level or Six horns on his highest demon level.
Caelus can also fly in all of his Seraphim forms, but he only fly in his demon form for levels 2 and 3.
Blood of the Seraphim: His mother was a Seraphim, one of the four head angels incharge of governing their realm, and this gives his body special bonuses. His blood, for one, has healing properties in it that not only make him immune to normal diseases, but also can be used to help heal wounds of others as well, euther by having them i gest it(which is nore effective in the long run) or adminstering it directly to the wound(best for when they are near fatal or heavily serious wounds). It can also be distilled into potions as well, so as to make the process less disgusting and morbid. However, his blood is equivalent to poison undead creatures such as zombies and vampires. To Ghosts and spirits, though, it's only mildly painful, and would still have a healing effect on them.
His body is also a bit more resilient to both physical attacks and those that use dark or unholy magics.
Weakness
Lack of Internal balance: Caelus' Angelic and Demon sides are constantly at war with each other, and while he usually is able to handle the strain, there will be moments where it can become too much to for him, causing him to suffer from intense headaches, paranoia, and vivid hallucinations. If it gets severe enough, he may even pass out. This also prevents him from being able to use Hellfire and Divine Lightning at the same time.
Lack of control: Caelus control over his Angelic and Demon sides is delicate held at best and has been broken numerous times before. There have bern times where he is unable to use his Divine Lightning, or worse, he gets hit by intense feedback energy, which can cause a good amount of damage to him. For Hellfire, the consequences are even worse, cause if he loses control of it, his demon side will take over and begin to go on a rampage, burning everything in it's path to ashes until he's able to reclaim the reigns, though it has been rare the times he's been able to do so on his own.
Brash: Caelus is the 'shoot first, ask questions later' type, so he's always a liability in situations where diplomacy is best called for.
Fuk da Police!: Caelus hates authorit figures and people who believe in superiority, and will gladly try to knock them down a peg . . . or three. He's also a teensy bit of an anarchist.
Better at being bad: Caelus is more intuned to his demon side then Angelic one, which leads to him using it more often, increasing the risk of him going berserk
Demon rage: While using his demon powers, Caelus becomes much easier to bait and enrage, his emotions being fueled by the demonic energies, which in turn feed on the emotions to sustain themselves.
Instability: Caelus' powers are too unstable, which means he can't instantly switch between his Divine Lighting use and his hellfire use. It takes him around a minute and a half of concentration in order to make the switch, leaving him vulnerable to attack.
Abomination: Caelus is treated worse by most Angels then other Nephilim due to the sheer fact that not only is he the half-breed child of one of their leaders, a disgrace upon all Angels in their eyes, but he also bears the taint of a demon upon his soul. His presence is likely to be repulsive to all angels, and possibly others of his own kind, for he is the worst of all abominations. He's been the number one target for extermination by the Angels charged with doing so, and they are relentless in their pursuit of him. So much is their hatred for his very existence that anyone caught or throughout to be harboring him will be submitted to the fiery wrath of the heavens.
Personality
Caelus' personality is somewhat chaotic and unstable, almost like he's to people forced into one body. Sometimes he can be exceptionally good at keeping his cool, looking over everything with a calm indifference, sometimes he's a bit of a jackass with a hair trigger temper. Most of the time, however, he's a cold and skeptical, never really liking to stay in one place for too long.
He tends to hide this coldness with a flippant, delinquent-esque attitude, speaking his mind whenever he wants and not giving a fuck about the consequences of his actions. If you talk to him, then you'll likely get a short, curt, but honest answer. Caelus believes in being honest with his opinion, so matter what he says to you, it's always going to be what he really thinks.
