Duels in The East Market

Silas grinned at her tenacity, but without the threat of the scimitar and her pressure, he pulled back his blade and jumped at the same time. As they both fell to the ground because of Akkina's position and his body weight, he hooked his knees just above her elbow joint, locked his ankles, and threw his legs back while pulling his torso forward. This move was designed to give Silas the advantage by throwing his opponent onto their back while he knelt above, immobilizing the captured arm and leaving a large area open to attack. If the move held and wasn't broken, he'd be across her body, one hand still holding onto her wrist, sitting on her other arm, and his right sword hand free to strike her abdomen or legs.

Correction to myself:
It's more of an arm bar, since she tried to strike at his face. Silas knows she would still have her sword, so going for the shoulder throw is a bad idea, she could still stab him when he went to mount.

@Alamantus Yea, wait, that's a collar shoulder throw, I think from Judo. Silas wouldn't have enough hands, he would've had to drop the scimitar.
It would end like this, but Akkinna is still not parallel to the ground, with Silas setting up the blade for when she falls into that position.

Notice the third posture? He's following her body with his blade lmao

possible counter

Akkina could follow the momentum and throw her herself horizontally once her feet touch the floor. She is supposed to be very well trained. This would make the thrust useless and pull Silas in a direction his momentum isn't already leaning.

@The Slenderman That will definitely tip the balance of power in her favor lol If that was gonna happen, I would've suggested a wooden swords sparring match and he would've had both blades to defend and attack against the holy blade.

Heroes of Olympus: The New Age

I was thinking of male Hecate offspring, spurned by his mother.
A creation of Artemis of sorts, made as punishment to one of her Hunters that broke her oath. Artemis would've snuck into his room as a child and fed him a drops of ichor as he grew.

For the simple ones I was thinking
A child of Mars
or a child of Jupiter. (Something I've never played)

Which ideas do you like best for your rp?@Keyblade87

@Vordak You had to point out the thrust, you just haaad to lol

@The Slenderman
Silas knocked back the downwards slash with a left to right slash of his own, gaining power and speed as he spun his body. He grabbed her striking hand's wrist in his left hand as he maneuvered, extending out his arm then pulling his shoulder into his own center of gravity and using his elbow as a lever to throw off her balance. As she was pulled towards the ground, he stopped his spin and stepped in between her feet. In this moment, Silas brought his sword close to his own body, arm held at an angle as he thrust upwards towards her exposed ribs. He pulled down on the captured wrist for increased effect.

Silas merely spinned to the left, blocking the well-aimed blow with both hands, the blade flat against his spare hand, then jumped behind her momentum aiming for her back. The swordsman was feeling a little cheated with such a high name. Maybe she was testing him? He had no such title, but the man had trained with the powerful elves, learning their arts of the arcane. Murmuring a small chant, his feet felt lighter. It was a small boost to one's speed. Maybe now she would stop toying with him?

Closed.

@HushedWhispers I really liked the idea behind that one too! The plot was gonna super cool.. T_T

Closed.

@HushedWhispers Eyyyy, waddup?! I think the other Potter roleplay I wanted to Co-GM might be a bust, the original poster hasn't been on for awhile and that doesn't bode well >_<
