The Escapist Avatar Adventure: An Open RP (Now Re-Opened!)

[NerfedFalcon]

Reisen didn't take long to find a room that suited. It was reasonably close to the medical bay - she wasn't much of a medic, but sitting in on a few of Erin's operations had taught her a few things about the human anatomy. She didn't bother to decorate the room. It didn't seem to suit her, but she did find a permanent marker and scrawl a few kanji on the walls. Having marked her territory, she started to look for where the weapons were being kept.

Spoiler: Character sheet:

Name: Reisen Udongein Inaba (first two in kanji, last in katakana [that matters])
Age: Could be anything
Relative age: Somewhere between 19 and 21
Race: Moon rabbit
Height/Weight: 5'4" (without ears)/5'10" (with ears)/72lbs
Personality: Slightly scatterbrained, mostly nice, has a long fuse for annoyance - but if it runs out...

Spoiler: Skills/Powers:

It's all in the eyes. Reisen has the ability to manipulate wavelengths of light using her eyes. Aside from creating illusions, though, that also includes high-intensity lasers (because, well, the L in laser stands for light), firing small bullets (or something like) out of a finger-gun and, using the full moon's frequency, driving people insane. For the most part it's controllable, though, and she doesn't like to use her evil eye at all. She's a skilled shot with most human firearms, and physically stronger than most humans, so for the most part she doesn't have to.

Since most of her magical attacks are based on the same principle as cutting lasers, they can easily be moved or curved mid-flight.

Spoiler: Canon Bio:

Reisen was part of the moon's military forces for a while, but just as the "invasion" started (with Apollo 11) she deserted and headed down to Earth, landing in Gensokyo. Since then, she's been a servant/pet for a Lunarian medic named Erin, who has a tendency to torture her, and been adopted by an Earth rabbit who's often responsible for 'punishment time' (hence her ability to put up with being annoyed.)

Spoiler: AA Bio:

Last time she appeared was about three resets ago and I don't remember any of the current characters being around back then.

Anything else? Well...those are pretty big ears. A loud enough noise would probably knock her over, unable to move or think due to hearing too much.

The airship displayed maps the maps were well designed so anyone could navigate through the airship, it was supposed to be mobile base. the armory was near the training room.
When she approached she could see one of the doors to the training room stated
"Practice in session"
there was a porthole she could see the young boy Dillon fighting an odd white anthropomorphic creature, the two were moving fast, but she could swear the white creature was using a cane.
"Who are these people?" she asked aloud

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

"...Yes Master, I've got them on side...No, Uroboros won't be a problem...What about Adel?...What?...You sure?, I mean...alright then, but that will be extra...understood..." Kazuya said as a Helicopter picked him up and took him to San-Francisco.

 

[Moros]

James was finally in some normal clothes after putting his weapons and armor away in a chest. Not having anything to do, James decided to explore a little. After awhile, he came across a large empty room that wasn't in use. "Perfect place to test and practice my powers," James said before getting down to business.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Wondering just what was going on between the young boy with the sword and the white...thing, Reisen walked into the training room. She opened her mouth to say something, but was whacked over the head by the cane before she could say anything. "FOOL!" the thing yelled. "Don't you know NEVER to interrupt someone while they're fighting?" She tried to say something else, but it just kept talking. "My legend begins in the 12th century!"

Dillon slid up next to her. "Look, you might want to get out of here. Once he starts, he never st--" He got whacked over the head as well. "FOOL! You never speak ill of your master!"

"Master?" Reisen asked, incredibly confused. After another whack and 'FOOL!', she decided she wasn't getting anywhere and beat it.

 

[Orinon]

DIllon rolled his eyes.
"Idiot, we want people to like us." he then forced Excalibur into sword form and into the hilt
"FOOL, My legend begins in the 12th century don't you dare-"
"And ends in the 12th century. Don't you get it, I'm the reason Excalibur has never been found, I alone have wielded you after Arthur."
Dillon then opened up a locked section in the armory
"Now Until I need you I want you to contemplate on how to be nicer to people."
Dillon then made his way to find Reisin
"Sorry about him, That was Excalibur-"
"Excalibur? that's an odd name, what kind fo creature was that anyway"
"The Holy sword has two forms, one is it's weapon form, a holy sword another is the humanoid appearance you saw.
Apparently Arthur was a patient man, Then Again I suspect after getting the huge reputation from Arthur , the sword has gotten a huge ego. We're partners, though occasionally he see's himself as superior.
Anyway How are you enjoying the Rising Dawn, I named this ship Myself, I'm it's captain, What you saw there was just some training."

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Spoiler: OOC

Just saying: Reisen would not know anything about Excalibur or King Arthur or anything like that. Having her ask "THE Excalibur?" was kind of out of character. Then again, she hasn't been around in a while...I don't blame you for not knowing what she wouldn't ever say.

Wesker proceeded over to Test lab RE:ORC to receive the Hydro-Carbon Data.
He loaded it up and it showed a Video.
In it, it showed an acid being added to the Hydro-Carbon before being released into a Test room with a Vase on a table.
The Carbon soon "Infected" all the oxygen in the room and as a result turned the air acidic, melting both the Vase and the Table melted as if they were dipped in Acid.
Wesker smiled and created a sample of it with Uroboros replacing the Acid.

Spoiler: Orinon

I haven't had anything to do, sooooooooo..... Can I aid you? Please?

 

[bluerocker]

Caim was exploring the ship, and was hearing sounds of combat. Intrigued, Caim investigated to find the exact moment Dillon put away Excalibur. Caim looked at the starting conversation with interest, and heard the dragon rumble in his mind, "Perhaps you can lend your sword in a constructive manner for once. Wouldn't that be interesting, Caim?"

Caim shrugged, and pulled out the PDA (Wesker never got it back...) and typed, "You said something about needing training? I've fought with this sword" He indicated his sword in it's sheath, "since I was a small boy. It also contains magical properties, which I could teach you to activate in a blade. Does that count as adequate experience?"

 

[Orinon]

"Life-time of experience eh? I just hope you don't drop me in the first five seconds."
Dillon went to the Sparring room.
"Flat of the blade." Dillon proposed, simply referring that any hit should be made with the blunt sides of the sword, Dillon's katana had only one sharp edge.
Dillon knew a bit about western swords, interestingly they weren't the sharpest weapons, In fact plenty were close to bludgeoning instruments, the heavy blades made Caim's strikes a bit slower, though Dillon was inexperienced, meaning he didn't have a speed advantage.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

As Caim and Dillon walked back into the training room, Reisen followed them from the armoury. She didn't intend to take any potshots either way - it'd just be fun watching the two of them fight. "You don't mind if I spectate, right?" she asked them, just in case. "Don't worry, I can handle myself if any sparks fly near me."

 

[Orinon]

Spoiler: Leet

Excalibur is having a time out for being rude.
he's in a locked part of the armory that's blast proof bullet proof and sound proof.
He'll be there until We reach aperture, because then I'll need him for killing Wesker, Yeah Dillon plans on Helping Stella carry on the legacy Maria Left behind I'll discuss this more on the group chat

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Spoiler: Orinon:

I'll fix mine if you fix yours.

As the hooded figure watches the cat eyed man leaves he room
From around the corner he wonders if it will work. He walks up to the scanner and puts his gun to the edge of it and proceeds to fire all around the scanner he the. Removes the front panel and begins to rewire it from the insides. After he has the door open he goes inside and sees nemesis....

Spoiler: Regarding swords

Ah, good old East vs. West sword debates... Let me tell you something, Orinon; Western swords were not just overblown clubs. They were made to kill just like the katana. They were sharp, they had a keen edge, and they were built for durability. And unless you made a zweihander, they weren't that heavy, especially blades that were along the lines of rapiers, or shortswords. Now let's take a good look at Caim's sword:

(Look at 4, but they're all the same in appearance)
Look at it in comparison to Caim's size

It's not that big compared to his size. Also, according to this screenshot (Scroll down quite a bit), it weighs 2.2 kgs (about 4.85 lbs to the Americans)

http://lparchive.org/Drakengard/Update 02/

as well as showing the blade's relative size to Caim even further. We can guess that Caim's sword looks like a modified arming sword with a curved handguard (which was common in English foot soldiers in the 1500's). The arming sword was a double edged sword that was made for slashing and stabbing, making it a great asset in the 1500s.

Reference photo (for general size and structure

as we can see


The zweihander, as previously mentioned, could weigh up to about 7 lbs (about 3.17kg); at most.

While the Katana was generally lighter, around 1 kg or so and were generally 60 - 73 cm (23.5 ? 28.5 in.), they were built primarily for slashing, especially on horseback (but that was more for the nodachi). It has a tip made for stabbing, but slashing was it's primary form of attack. Now, the katana is notorious for it's strength and durability due to to the two kinds of metal that go into its construction; a hard metal that creates its core and a soft metal on the outside to create flexibility. It is a very good style of blade, however, it's main flaw is that it is a delicate blade. That is to say, without proper care or the edge being hit directly, it can get mold/rust very easily (especially from the natural oils in human hands) or chip from direct impacts upon the cutting edge.


tl;dr, what I'm trying to say is that Dillon's katana isn't going to give him that much of a leg up against Caim; on top of that, his inexperience would still detriment him: speed or no.

And now my nerdery for ancient weaponry has been exposed...

Caim chuckled at Dillon's request for using the dull edge of his sword using the PDA, he typed, "Both sides are sharp. Besides, do you expect your enemies to be so kind as to dull their blades? No. We have magic users, they can fix us later. I saw how quickly you recovered in that sick bay. Now, get some armor on from over there; we will begin. The dragon will speak for me now."
With that, a staff member showed up and declared that he could dull the blades with magics, so the two could practice without fear of holding back:
"It'll get rid of the brunt of the injuries you would normally sustain, but you'll still get some bruises! Be careful boys."
The staff member quickly fled after that, not wanting to see the sparks fly from the two men. Caim charged Dillon after that, and the sparring began. The boy was a bit faster than Caim was, but Caim had the experience and strength to back himself up. The dragon transferred little tidbits to Dillon every so often from Caim, usually remarking upon his stance or he needed to be more vicious in his attacks,

"If your enemy showed the same kind of softness in their strikes as you, I'd ask them over for tea!"
"Legs at width the shoulders!"
"Come at me like you mean it!"

It continued like this for hours, scaring many employees well away from the sparing grounds, especially would be users of the chamber as well. However, his efforts were not fruitless. When Caim had the dragon send, "Is this how you plan to save your woman?" Dillon flied into a rage, and was finally able to land a hard hit on Caim's chest, knocking the man back quite a bit. Caim landed on his back, and smiled, There we go. You've finally tapped into your emotions with your strikes. Keep that up, and you'll be able to channel it into your strikes. That's the first step to unlocking the magics in a weapon, you know, as well as with fighting. You don't let your emotions control you. You use them as a fuel to unlock potential that you lock in yourself, and use that potential to make yourself stronger. You made progress, nicely done. Want to continue?"

Nemesis Stands up and walks over to the Hooded Figure.
It was bad enough what happened to him without people shooting him in the face.
"ggggrrrrrrrraaaaahhhhhhhh...." he groaned as he advanced.

 

[Orinon]

Dillon Nodded.
"Yes, I Think I can handle a bit more punishment."
Dillon then Began improving, he had been paying attention, to Caim, how he held the sword, How he kept his stance, and the way just before he attacked he tightened his grip.
Dillon moved in strange patterns, he side-stepped,rolled, ducked and jumped avoiding the strikes, he kept Caim on the defense, every time he saw Caim Tighten his grip he'd attack, forcing Caim to block.
Dillon's sword followed the same movement, the sword would come at a predictable angle, that would be easy o block, the Dillon would change the direction at the last minute, meaning Caim was blocking in the wrong place.
Caim Was a warrior who had faced hundreds-no thousands of battle, and if he had met plenty of tricky opponents, No method was perfect there was a flaw, he just had to find it.
He learned when HE blocked an Attack and looked into Dillon's eyes.
They weren't their normal blue they had turned yellow with black slits.
the Boy had given his emotions more leeway and had let his own desires consume him.
Caim Smiled, this would be easy.

Spoiler: I don't know how Caim would beat me

So I Figured just to let you decide how he'd take advantage that Dillon let his selfish side take control. The Dragon had seen Dillon like this SO Caim Shouldn't be confused, The general rule is he's good, but he doesn't care if he get's hurt, which is a problem, because when we get hurt, we're supposed to be more careful.
