| OOC: The challenge is ON! We're using the normal set of rules (there's a Sticky thread that you've probably already seen) for this fight, but my only other rules is that I want you to A) be as creative as you can, and B) don't rush yourself, for Roleplaying, like all arts, cannot be rushed. Hold nothing back!
I've prepared a special Battle Intro just for you. 
In the Material Plane, there are an infinite number of phenomonon, but it is when those phenomonon begin to shatter the barrier between Planes that they truly come to be what they are. Crystal Psipalace is such an example. Imagine a Palace, one which's architecture rivals that of the most legendary builders in existance, made of arches, balconies, runed gates and many, many floors... the WHOLE structure is floating miles and miles in the sky, above the very clouds themselves, and made of glowing, awe-invoking azure blue crystal. It's very existance is other-worldly, but it exists, nonetheless. And it is an even greater phenomonon that it is this Palace that is the headquarters to three Deities that, when combined, are stronger than the power of ALL Holy Gods combined into one power-- the Living Assets, Virtue, Respect and Honor. They are beyond time, space and mortal comprehension... and they reside here, flowing through the walls of the entire Palace and empowering their children-- the Psi Warriors. Psi Warriors-- mortal, sentinent beings who have taken the Pact of Honor, and, by doing so, enfused the Living Assets themselves into their soul and becoming one with them. Therefore, it is realistic to say that a Psi Warrior is stronger than all Holy Gods combined-- but not really, for it is actually limited to less than 1% thanks to the presence of a physical body. Yet if one were to DIE, well... Psi Warriors are always flying around the Palace, like bees around a beehive. Psi Warriors are also constantly coming to and from the Palace's Landing Bay, going to and returning from their missions assigned by Sensae, the ultimate teacher for all Psi Warriors. A Psi Warrior's life is not easy... for fighting advanced-level Demons, Undead and worse beings is not really an easy thing to have to do every day. But they do happen to be masters of it, and if it weren't for the Psi Warriors, the Material Plane would have been destroyed many, many years ago, since the corruption of demons is a devouring force that knows no bounds or limits... Sometimes Psi Warriors are assigned other missions, too. Take our hero, Schwa, for example. A man, coated in a brilliant trail of sky-blue, celestial energy called Ether, streaks out of the Palace riding a Psi Disc, a thick, crystal disc that all Psi Warriors have the power to summon and psychically control. This man wears white, loose, almost robelike clothes and a jet-black blindfold over his eyes, seeming to see perfectly well anyway. He has thick, brown hair and looks like he's in his early twenties. He is, in fact. "Gah... Ya know what? This is what I get for trying to make my OWN plans. What was I thinking?" Schwa monologues, "After what, like 7 years doing the Psi Warrior thing, I should know perfectly well that Sensae is in control of what I do with my free time... not me! Stupid, stupid, stupid!" Schwa swoops below the clouds, blind to the beautiful forest scenery below from the air in one sense ('cause his blindfold), but able to sense every detail of each square inch from the air thanks to the psychic eye the Living Assets empower him with. He seems to be searching for something. "What's interesting is that Sensae didn't send me off to kill a demon this time. That ain't such a bad deal for me, but seriously... A Runed Boomerang? In an underground, volcanic ruins? I bet there IS some kind of demon involved, now that I think about it... Jesus, Sensae, you are TRICKY. Ha ha ha... But I'm on to you, just like you taught me I had to be to survive you! Woo-ha ha!" This man, Schwa, is feeling quite good about himself as he touches down in a suspicious forest clearing emitting smoke into the blue sky. He lands his Disc on the edge of the clearing, and with a hand signal the Disc dissolves into particles, spirals upwards and exits the Material Plane via an invisible portal. Schwa stares at the clearing with his blind sight. It's a very suspicious volcanic crater, NOWHERE near the mountains-- in the middle of a forest! A thick plume of earthen smoke billows out of it in a constant stream, and a tan fog of ash and dust coats the area as well. Schwa notes that this place would not be a very good place to engage a foe in, no matter the foe. ...Well, maybe fish wouldn't apply to that, 'cause this wasn't the water... 
"Hunh. Yeeeeeah, this would be an ideal place for the ruins to be. 'Sides, this is where Sensae's telepathic Ping lead me. Now all I gotta do is-- Hey... Who the hell IS that?" Schwa adjusts his psychic focus through the dust atmosphere... A lifeform of some kind is on the other side of the clearing, likely doing the same observation tactics as Schwa. But he can't get a good reading on the being's energy signature and Alignment signature... Was it a bystander? Another hero with the same mission as him? An evil villan seeking to do harm? Schwa decides that telepathy is the best answer here. He focuses his Psi energy, and soon the being gets a message speaking directly to his/her soul. "Salutations. I am Schwa, Psi Warrior and Embodiment of Good. I cannot tell who you are from here, so if you don't mind either telling me or stepping in my direction a bit so I can get a good reading... What's your name and alignment? And please don't lie, 'cause, you know, that just ain't cool..." Schwa's message is friendly and casual enough, which is good. But first impressions, when telepathy is involved, seems to scare innocent bystanders, so he keeps his fingers crossed... OOC: Btw, just a reminder... A lot of Schwa's attacks do double damage to Demons, Undead, or those with an Evil alignment. You COULD use one if you wanted, since I always put plot over victory, and I NEVER kill in the Arena, but I thought a warning would be in place at the very least... |

| Jake stared down the path, annoyed. Why was it that the rest of the group had to be gone off hunting for special stuff elsewhere, and he was left here? Worst of all, he had to be gone in the worst place... the part with the volcano. Active, he was sure.
Sometimes being in that group kind of sucked. However, as he was scanning the area around the trees, he could feel the energies from his spirits feel unrestful, as they were likely detecting something powerful... ...and then came the voice on his head. "Salutations. I am Schwa, Psi Warrior and Embodiment of Good. I cannot tell who you are from here, so if you don't mind either telling me or stepping in my direction a bit so I can get a good reading... What's your name and alignment? And please don't lie, 'cause, you know, that just ain't cool..." He took a step back, but only out of surprise; psychics were somewhat rare, for him, to meet. Concentrating on the person, he decided to answer calmly. "I am Jake Dunnas, sir... and I'd say I'm aligned with good, too, since, otherwise, the thousands of bad guys who attempted to trounce me before wouldn't be doing so..."

| Schwa's first thought at Jake's statement is relief. But then he remembers... 'Bad guys' is completely subjective.
"Soooooo... By 'bad guys', do you mean Evil guys, or Good guys which were 'bad' to YOU 'cause you might really be Evil? Watch out, I'm about to make myself known." Schwa's two hands burst with blue, etheral energy as he leaps high into the air, front-flips, and dives into the midst of the dusty murk. He slams the ground right beside the volcanic, lava-dressed mound in the center of the clearing with his palms, and when that happens there is a massive burst of ether as the murky cloud is buffeted in all directions, making visibility a bit more possible. (The ether is not harmful, though.) The white-clad, blindfold-wearing man, now visible to Jake and vice-versa, stays in handstand position for a few seconds before flipping deftly to his feet. He salutes Jake in greeting. "Hey! Psi Warrior on duty, here, that's all." He begins examining the singeing rock mound carefully, using Psi to back up his search. "Just looking for something, no harm intended. There's supposed to be the entrance to a lava-ruins somewhere around here, and I'm trying to recover some kind of Runed Boomerang once inside." He sighs. A Psi Warrior's work is never done... "What are you doing here by yourself, anyway? You looking for it too or what?" |

| Jake merely sighed. 'Well, those guys wanted to lay waste to the world, so I like to think I'm on the side of good. Although, if you doubt me, just think about it: why would I work alongside a goddess of good, for several years, may I add, if I am evil?' he replied mentally, before taking a few steps back, as he saw the movement.
"Oh, a Psi Warrior? That's interesting. Although..." he paused, awkwardly. "Well, see, I'm supposed to be finding a special object, which apparently is this boomerang of yours, and if I don't bring it with me, we're gonna have some problems. So, if you wouldn't mind me taking it and my leave as well..." |

| "Is that so?"
Schwa stops, thoughtful. "Hey, out of curiosity... Which Goddess is this you work for, anywho? If she's a Good Goddess, surely she's heard of the Living Assets before, so you could say that with that logic, you and I are automatically allies." Schwa focuses his Psi once again, and it points him into one direction. He steps to the northeast of the mound and shines rays of Ether at it. An invisible Ritual Circle becomes visible in the rays. "Haha! Target accquired. Now all I gotta do is find a way to--" Suddenly a 16-foot crater in the ground disintegrates around Schwa in an instant. Schwa half-stumbles, half-flips through the air out of the way and lands not very gracefully outside the new hole in the ground. "Oww... Agh. HUP..." He leaps to his feet. "What the hell? ...AHA! It's a way into the ruins! Look, there's even a staircase down there now! Hey, Jake... I'm reeeeeeally sorry about this, but... That Boomerang's MINE. Sensae needs it. Cheerio!" He turns to enter the ruins, but a well-timed attack or technique from Jake could probably stop him, should Jake feel his duty is of more importance than Schwa's... |

| "Yeah... well, he's the Mana Goddess, but I am not sure whether she knows of the beings from this dimension... but still-" he replied, before noticing the spell he was doing and the following events.
As he saw what Schwa was about to do, however, he sighed. "You know... the problem is, I *really* have to take it with me... so..." he started, before the gem of his necklace shone for a few seconds. In instants, a spirit flew from out of it, and into his backpack. In pretty much one second, dozens of paperclips flew outside, towards his arm, and forming a severely long whip. He made a whipping motion, and the chain flew towards Schwa, grabbing his feet with surprising strength. "Therefore, I may need to use force for this... an apology, but I can do nothing." |

| "Waaaugh!"
The unsuspecting Schwa "has a swell trip" at the mercy of the paperclip grapple. On the ground, he quickly slips the chain off his leg and scrambles to his feet. He takes an unusual stance, both hands flaring powerfully with sky-blue, etheral energy. "You--!! Awright then... I wasn't planning on engaging a foe at this point, but why the Hell not, I say? En guarde!" Schwa takes a few steps to his left, focuses, then brings his palms together over his head. He takes his two pointing-fingers and draws an arc outward, revealing a semicircle of thick, sleek, silver, razor-sharp energy. Then, with a hand-thrust towards Jake, he cries, "Alpha Psibeam!" (echo effects) Immediately the arc of light streaks forwards, aimed right at Jake. It is his signature attack that, if it connects, causes above-average Holy/Psychic damage, and double damage if the target is Evil or of Evil origins (Demon, Undead, Necromancer, etc.). What makes this attack so nasty is that it homes in on the target forever, since it is locked on to the target's actual soul like a guided missile, until it connects or hits part of the scenery or some attack. Since it has limited curving capabilities much like a real missile, one may be able to lure it into a wall or rock or whatever if the timing's right. After attacking, Schwa's entire body bursts with bright ether. Psi Warriors sure like to put on a lightshow in battle, it seems. Jake better be careful and diverse in his game... Schwa checks his Unique Mana reserves. They have begun to fill up. UMana l........... 1/12 |

| Jake was surprised by the attack, enough for his chain to retreat, instead of automatically defending him... but it was not for nothing; the energy he felt from the attack surprised him, and thus he only barely saw the energy strike.
"Gwah!" he screamed, just as he hopped away, his leg being the one to take the hit... not too painful, but still enough to annoy him. 'Drat... I didn't expect he would attack with that sort of energy... but still, he'll need more than that to even knock me down...' Panting slightly, he sent the chain after him, hoping that he'd attempt to avoid it... else, he'd need to improvise further than he wanted to. |

| Schwa crosses his ether-coated arms over his chest as the chain strikes him dead-on. As it strikes, it is knocked back with a poof of ether. Schwa blocked the attack, reducing most, but not all, of the damage.
"I hope for your sake you have a more diverse Offensive Moveset, pal. Physical ain't gonna work! Wahaha!" It was kind of a bluff, since he couldn't block perfectly and he still takes SOME damage, but hey... Schwa suddenly takes off at a dash at Jake. He rapidly approaches him, barely avoiding the hot rock mound in the center of the field, and as he reaches melee strike range he blinks out of existance! It wasn't a teleport; he used a sudden speed-burst to dart behind Jake, deliver an etheral Left Hook to the back of his head, then blink in front of him again in mid-backward leap, landing on his feet at a crouch 9 feet away. The attack does below-average Holy/Physical damage should it connect, which is lower than his average physical attack power because the speed bursts borrowed from his Attack Power in this instance. "C'mon, I'm curious now. Show me a Special Technique. Heh heh..." UMana ll.......... 2/12 |

| Jake blinked as Schwa shifted away... but he grumbled, and spun his arm to the side, just as the nearest clips swiftly spread out, blocking his strike. As he disappeared, the clips returned to their previous position
"Oh... you want me to do something good? Well, then... let's see how you like this..." he muttered, before sending the chain forward again... but he had begun to spin it as it approached and spread out, before passing so that Schwa was inside the circumference... and suddently, the wind inside began to blow faster, trying to make Schwa lose his footing... and maybe more! |

| "Pahahaha! Ya sealed your fate, matey! Thunder Glider!" (echo effects)
Schwa stays at a concentrating crouch position to prevent himself from being blown away, as he makes a special gesture, releasing ether into a form in front of him. Soon, a blue, top-shaped platform has appeared before him. He handstands for a moment as the top hovers under him to catch him. He's now standing on top of the platform. It hovers in the air, unsteady in the wind, and the tip on the bottom lets loose a thunderbolt into the fray before Schwa and the platform are fired backwards as his resistance against the wind finally fails. The thunderbolt is aimed at the chain creating the wind... In any normal circumstances it should have no problem conducting through the chain and scoring a direct hit on Jake himself. Extra damage might even be done because of the wind, and Wind energy boosts Thunder energy in several instances of RP physics! As for Schwa, he is blown off the platform, but as he lands, he hits the ground at a handstand, backflips, and lands on his feet. Perfect recovery. ...Or not, because one second after he lands on his feet, he stumbles and lands on his back. "Damn! Way to blow a stylish defense, Schwa..." He leaps back to his feet, and the top zooms back over as he gets back on, now around 24 feet from Jake. "So that was your Tech? That? Let that electric shot be a lesson to your pride. All great weapons come with weaknesses!" If Jake is able to use Schwa's words against him later in the battle, kudos to him. ^.^ UMana lll......... 3/12 |

| As the electricity would begin to traverse through the chain, it seemed to spread wider and wider... to the point where it was nearly the size of a house! And just a few seconds before it reached the end, it seemed to be cut, with Jake only holding one paperclip... before making a whipping movement, and the chain moved accordingly, striking Schwa... and shocking him!
The chain returned to its previous position, on Jake's hand... and he took the tip with his other hand. "Were you saying something?" he asked, as he began to walk towards him. |

| OOC: I hope you know it's against the rules to say that your attacks hit for sure. Only the opponent can decide if he's hit by your attacks or not. Be careful how you word your attacks, 'cause your last post looked illegal to me for that reason.
"Wait a second..." Schwa detects a change in his planned attack... but he knows how to handle it. He does a 135 degree flip, setting the tip of the Top platform upwards at a 45 degree angle in front of him, as the thundified chain returns to counter his attack. It strikes the top, transferring the shock to it and supercharging it. Schwa then darts forwards and up at an angle, aims the top towards Jake, and announces a Tech. "Thunder Slash!" (echo effects) Suddenly, the top shoots out at Jake, coated in a cone of wild electricity from the absorbtion of Jake's counter! Should this connect, heavy Electric damage will be dealt, but unlike Alpha Psibeam it is a beeline attack, not homing. Whether it hits or not, the top returns to Schwa, who's been hanging in midair during the attack, and lowers him to the ground. "Yeah, no more of THAT. C'mon! I ain't done yet! Woohaha!" The top hums as it powers up an attack... While not a charge, Jake might be able to tell that Schwa's getting ready for a wild maneuver of some kind. UMana llll........ 4/12 |

| (OoC: Okay, okay, fine... but he would have been caught off-guard, so that was just a possible lead-up. But eh...)
Jake sent the chain to intercept the top, the paperclips releasing themselves and forming a large barrier around him, stopping the attack from proceeding. Jake merely snorted, but let the barrier absorb the next attack, although he had to force a grid around him, like some sort of birdcage, keeping the clips still... but he would never be done if he kept the defensive game, so... |
