Bio
I have been actively roleplaying for around 18 years now, since age 15. Which, as you might have guessed, makes me 33. I've done most of my rping on forums, averaging 2 to 4 paragraphs. Though I also LARP, and have played D&D for about 17 years. Real life has become a larger part of my life though, so my activity has lessened. Even so, I don't think I'll ever stop rping. :)

Forum: 1x1 Interest Checks
Yikes...already 3 people interested in the Grim Sanctuary idea...I'm too though! Also interested in The Dark Queen. Plus I seem to fit your partner requirements perfectly.
Having watched SAO and a bit of .Hack// I'm up for a virtual reality game rp. Anything in particular you had in mind?
Eve had jumped up to a fire escape at the front of the alley, and had thought to jump right on top of the guy once she was on the roof. Which was within seconds, with her speed. However when she saw the situation it was clear that her help wasn't needed. Or not yet at least. Jurgen wasn't even fazed it looked like. And with relative ease he took care of his assailant himself.
And then he started to walk off again, without even noticing her... "Yo, up here!" She called out, jumping down to the ground and landing with a soft thud. She may be nimble, but her cybernetic body was still a bit on the heavy side compared to a human. "I thought I'd give that man a surprise of my own, but since you were able to handle it I decided to just watch instead." She threw the bud of her cig away since it was finished, then joined Jurgen on his walk back to the apartment. At first Eve had thought that she might have to also act as bodyguard. But clearly at least against the usual muggers and burglars he would be perfectly fine on his own.

"To light the cigarettes of course...unless you still have more lighters where this one came from. Then it won't be needed for a while. I prefer matches though." So they went to pay the rent first, that was fine. It wasn't like her systems needed biomatter immediately to recuperate the energy she had used, and repair the few scrapes she had suffered. Then Jurgen asked a question that had been bothering Eve herself for a while too. "You know...I have no idea. I figure whomever programmed me programmed that into me as well. No idea what he was thinking though. In fact...I can't even tell you a name. Only that he was almost bald, but had large sideburns. That, and a small black dot on his forehead." She shrugged. "Maybe we'll find out whom he is later." She didn't give it much thought. As right now neither of them could do much about the secrecy of her creator.
However suddenly a man grabbed Jurgen from one of the alleys, and pulled him in. He had a greedy grin on his lips. "You're the kid that had his droid win in the arena. Hand over the cash, now!" If Jurgen decided to look for Eve though, she was already gone from where they had been walking before. But she wasn't anywhere directly in sight either...

(I figured 10 chips was worth 1 credit. So 600 chips would just be an extra 60 credits. :P)
A towel was thrown into the arena, and at first Eve didn't know what that meant. She was still focused on fighting more. But then the crowd started to cheer as the referee came onto the field. "We have our...surprising winner! Give it up for Eve, the new champion of this arena!" The people mostly cheered, a few booed. Probably the ones that had lost the most money, thinking betting on Big Jim would earn them some easy cash. Eve wanted to cheer too. The thrill of your victory as the crowd cheered for you was quite amazing. But she couldn't...since she had to still act like a normal droid. So she stoically walked out of the arena to where the bookies were.
Underway there she found Jurgen, whom had come into her direction as well. She remained stoic as they walked outside. Then once they were out of sight of the place she did a small jump into the air with a "Whoo!" "That was amazing...you should try it sometime, Jurgen. The crowd cheering for you after your victory made me feel alive for a bit." That was definitely something weird...androids couldn't feel such things as being alive. At least...none in the past could. Maybe she was just that much more advanced? "But before we go anywhere, why not head to some store first? You know, to buy food...and cigarettes and matches of course." She added that last part a bit more softly. "Speaking of which..." She took the pack out and lit one up, puffing out some smoke later. For a droid she seemed pretty attracted to smoking. Though at least with the money she had earned him, there would be no problem paying for such a habit.

The cheering of the crowd had changed a little. Were they angry that she was winning, or cheering for her? She didn't know which, though it didn't really matter either. They were just here for the cash, nothing else. Big Jim got up again, using one of his arms as a second leg. He was still quite mobile considering his condition. He was known for his durability after all. Still, that left his attacking possibilities cut in half.
However this time Big Jim was also more careful. He didn't charge in head on any more. Eve liked that. An enemy should be able to adapt, or they weren't worth much as a fighter. So Eve decided to do the same, not dashing in immediately. But also not staying in place. While in a semi-defensive position she moved closer to the giant. Until finally they were only a foot or so apart. Then they both attacked at the same time, Eve ducking low while Big Jim tried a punch from above to pound her against the arena floor. Eve was faster though, and managed to get within range to grab the arm that he had been using as a leg. Then, with a kick against the bot's elbow joint she bent it enough out of place for it to jam. To finish it off she pulled the same arm out from under her opponent, making him fall once again.

Jurgen came to Eve's aid. Not with adjustments but with some advice. During this time Eve hadn't moved from her spot on the ground. She was actually calculating how strong this guy was from what she had experienced so far. When Jurgen was half finished she started to grin, giving a beastly stare towards Big Jim. "Don't worry Jurgen." She replied, keeping quiet enough so the crowd and such wouldn't hear. "This time I get to fight more seriously it seems. He's strong, but if I keep my balance I can beat him even in strength." She chuckled softly when time was up, slowly getting up from the ground and facing her opponent once again.
When the fight started it started the same as the first time. Big Jim moved in for the kill right away, and Eve dashed forwards. But from that point on everything changed. Instead of trying to hit the bot, Eve turned towards the arm that was coming for her left side. Then, instead of taking the blow head on she let it slide past her, using the friction to give herself spinning momentum. With that momentum she kicked the robot right in the face, destroying one of it's two 'eyes'.
Big Jim staggered backwards. But Eve didn't let up. This was the perfect chance to do some real damage. Once she was firmly on the ground with both feet she turned to the bot and prepared for a punch. "Hraaaa!" She screamed, hitting Big Jim against one of it's two legs. The joint connecting it to the torso snapped in half like it was made of wood. And down the bot went, falling to the ground. He wasn't down and out yet, but this was certainly a huge change in Eve's favour.

Eve had to stop herself from grinning. These guys were idiots if they allowed such high odds in a first fight. Even if it was against a champion. Or was it really good business for them too? Jurgen had said something about the bookie making quite a bit of money if she won. The two headed to the arena, where fighting was already happening. Not Big Jim but some other guy. And already Eve saw that the fighting here was on a higher level than in the bar. It was probably to be expected.
Finally Big Jim came out. An 8 foot tall robot, not even an android. Though he did seem to have a brain chip, as he wasn't being remote controlled or anything. "If it wasn't for the money we wouldn't even be out here right now..." The robot's owner muttered as he followed the bot to the ring. "And up next we have a highly unlikely match-up!" The announcer spoke through a mic. "Big Jim will be fighting a newcomer! A...home made training droid? Well anyway, here he is...Biiiiigg Jiiiimm!" The bot stepped into the arena, and the crowd started cheering for it. "Big Jim! Big Jim! Big Jim!"
Eve just smirked, this was going to be fun it seemed. Next she stepped into the cage. And once again people were cheering for Jim. "Smash her to bits!" "Show 'er why you're number one Big Jim!" And other things like that. "Target acquired. Small humanoid android. You're only getting out in pieces, android." The big robot spoke in a semi-electronic sounding voice. "As always, since this is Big Jim, the fight will be broken up into 5 minute rounds, where the challenger has 2 minutes to recover between rounds! Fighters, are you ready?" "Affirmative." Big Jim answered. "Ready." Eve replied with a monotone voice.
The countdown started, and once it reached zero Big Jim started on the offense right away. His arms seemed to work with large, heavy pistons. So they would be a bit slower, but pack one hell of a punch. So once again Eve figured this wouldn't be too hard of a fight. However the bot was faster than she had expected. Much faster than the guys in the bar. She tried to dodge, but the punch still grazed her shoulder. Which threw her off balance. "What--" She muttered, being caught off guard to say the least. Another punch quickly followed, which Eve managed to block with her arm. Still the sheer force of it threw her back against the fences. The crowd cheered loudly, liking that the fight wasn't over just yet, but that their favourite was winning either way.
Eve only had a cracked armor plate at her shoulder now, so nothing bad yet. But it was time to do some damage of her own. She charged right in, wanting to use the bot's height to her advantage, and trying to duck below his arms. She made it, but when her punch connected with it's gut, only a small dent was made. Big Jim grabbed her and threw her right into the fence again. Then something weird happened. The owner of Big Jim called for a time-out. He turned to Jurgen with a smug grin on his lips. "I'm gonna win this, but your droid's tough. The fights not fun this way...the crowd needs to be pleased. So I'll give for a minute to make some last minute adjustments if you want."

As soon as they entered Eve started acting more like what you'd expect from an android with a simple brain chimp. And even more so than before she listened to everything Jurgen would want from her. It was annoying, but it was only for a short while. So Eve didn't really mind. Not when she had a fight that would hopefully be good to look forward to. A hundred to one on her. That would make them 6000 credits. It sounded like it would be enough for not just this month, but the next one as well. They could only pull this stunt off once though, as after that people would most likely know about her. "I'll follow you then. Just take me to the ring when it's the right time. And then with a slight grin she added "with any luck this guy won't go down as quickly as those other guys." After that it was back to acting like a normal android.

"Different arena...well okay. As for making as much credits as possible...I wonder what the odds would be if I challenged one of the top fighters there..." The two walked to their destination as Jurgen explained a few more things to her about how betting worked. She knew what it was, but how it worked...well what he told her was the first she heard about it. "Looking weak, no problem. Good that I don't have to throw the fight. This should be interesting." Once again that grin appered that crept on her lips when her lust for battle rose. The note on the box hadn't been lying. Eve was definitely made for this kind of thing.
When the arena came into sight Eve had formulated a plan on how to approach the bookies. "How 'bout this. I'll change my skin a little to look more cybernetic, then you introduce me as a droid you made, and want to test in the arena. You can pick the fighter that you think would do the trick yourself. Since you seem to know a little about this kind of stuff." She held up her arms, and indeed her skin started to change. It took the shape of plates of armor covering her arms. "Should work right?" Her chest area too changed into a kind of metal plating. Her plan was pretty...crude, but then again a lot of the people at fights would probably be fooled by such a trick.
