OOC: Brand new character, everybody! You may not understand the title of this battle, but it IS relevant.  If you've ever fought Kaz, this is his opposite. There will be a Profile coming up very shortly, but as of now I really need to test this guy out. This battle is for the first one to reply; normal rules, be descriptive/creative, hold nothing back. Plot devices = GOOD, since my character = new. Lastly, know when the battle takes place; slightly in the past, right at the same time that Schwa gets back from Delaga Ex.
Now that we have formality out of the way, I present to you... Diaxos!! Niadas. The saving grace of any travelers in this area. Built on the edge of the despair-inducing Neowurm Barrens, this miracle to existance, a bustling city built on the riverbank bordering the Barrens, is one of the busiest places a fellow from this continent will ever see. Travelers pass by every day to trade, buy, sell, socialize, spar, and learn, and the atmosphere is, while hot, very gung-ho and a great place for gatherings. A mage on the edge of the city, sitting on a large smooth boulder embedded halfway into the ground, enjoys an early-afternoon Dried Squid, an accquired taste that envigorates the natives, though is not for everyone there... The edge of Niadas is much quieter than the square, so this mage can enjoy his meal in peace. But it doesn't last long... The mage suddenly jerks his head to the left and up, staring at the sky above the Barrens. He definitely just felt something very powerful... "Oh Lord... Is that what the scenario presents itself as?" The feeling lashes him again, in pulses. That can only mean one thing... "A dimensional rift! Oh dear, what an unpleasant surprise!" The mage takes matters into his own hands and, with a Haste Spell in play, dashes to the barrens to intercept the unusual, almost-guaranteed disaster. But in only a few more seconds the completely invisible rift has stopped, and a shimmering shape is forming in the distance... The mage reaches the event. The shape has stopped glowing... Standing there is a boy, about 12 or 13 in appearance, dresssed a little strange; his attire seems to be a teal half-tunic with a tiny sapphire brooch in the middle of his chest. His hair is a little spiky and colored slightly light-brown, and his eyes are dark-green. This boy is kneeling, as if exhausted... The mage gets within 8 feet of the boy, and can sense an AMAZING amount of arcane energy radiating from him. "Ahh... You, child!" he askes, "Are you a summoned creature, or, I mean... Ah, where did you, that is... WHO are you??" The boy looks up at him, his exhaustion leaving him relatively quickly. "My name is... My name is... Wow. I don't even know my name. I have a feeling, though, but I don't--" "Are you a spirit, then? A familiar?" "Ahhhhh... The memories are so... So clouded, hazy... I can't remember ANYTHING! Oh no!" "Ssh, calm down..." The mage reaches out to touch the boy's shoulder in consolation, but upon contact, raw mana flares up, engulfing the mage's hand. He jerks it away. "Agh! What is this, now? An energy feedback? You, child, are beyond my appraisings!" The boy grabs his shoulder, too. "Yep, felt that too... I'm sorry, sir! If I knew what happened, I'd surely tell you, but like I said I don't remember a single thing about myself... let alone where I am... Say, where am I, anyway?" "Niadas's outskirts, I suppose," the baffled mage manages to say. "The city is over there." Suddenly, the boy grabs his head in shock. "AH! That's it... Delaga Ex... I come from Delaga Ex..." "Dear Lord... A distant Dimension..." "...and my name is... I... I can't remember! But I'm so close! Dia- something, starts with Dia. Diaxos... That came to mind... but I don't know for sure..." "Here, come with me. There's a veteran medic in the city that should be able to cure your Amnesia." As the boy and the mage head to the city, the mage is especially perplexed as to why the mana conflagaration erupted like that... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - But in the city, there is a gathering in the square, and the two characters' trip to the medic's hut is postponed due to "heavy traffic". "Hey, lookie there!" a well-known Gladiator says at the sight of them, "If it ain't my ol' pal Victorio the Sage! An' ya brought wit' ya a whippersnapper!" "Ah, yes..." The two seem to know each-other. In truth, they do. "We're just on our way to the--" But by now a bunch of various travellers have formed a human barricade around them in the excitement of the appearance of this peculiar boy. Victorio turns to Diaxos. "I deeply apologize..." "Naw, it's fine. You've done a lot for me already. 'Sides, I like where this is going, in some distant way..." Someone then shouts, "Alright, PART!!" and the crowd parts, the boy in the center of the square. Whoever it was who said that, Diaxos is grateful to. A muscular swordfighter steps up to Diaxos and turns to the crowd, clears his throat, and... "We have a NEWCOMER! That is NO way to SPEAK to a newcomer!" Pause. "Let us let the boy speak on his OWN! ...THEN there will be no REASON for this commotion!" There is a long pause as Diaxos tries to think of what to say... "Well... I, uh, I'm slightly speechless... I suppose I'm glad I was welcomed to this dimension so enthusiastically. Thanks, guys!" They gasp! "...What? Yeah, I did come from another dimension... Delaga Ex. But that's all I know... I don't even remember my real name, so I go by Diaxos. Right, Victorio? ...Victorio??" The crowd looks unnerved and hostile. "Alright, this isn't working... Perhaps I'd like to demonstrate that I mean business! I challenge any one of you to a quick 1-on-1 spar, right here, right now. Even though I don't know anything about myself, I realize that I have a fighter's soul within me, and my soul is not afraid to take to the fray when need be. Who's with me?" Whoever it is in the crowd that challenges him, Diaxos is prepared to fight. OOC: Go ahead. Good luck. (edited by Schwa on 12-08-05 02:01 PM) |

| Johnathan sighed. Full of fools, this town was.
Johnathan: "Boy, I challenge you. Nothing more must be said." The crowd bustled around him, some oohs and ahs at his impudence, and then a short silence as Johnathan strode forward calmly. "Come, we will go far from here. Whichever of us comes back will be accepted with ease." 'And I have no place to go, anyway...' he thought. ---------------- A coat with no sleeves, a hat with no top, this man wanders the desert with a cold stare and an even colder heart. He is Johnathan, in name only. Thrown somewhere into this time with no way to get home and no idea where he was, he only knows that he has some purpose here. Each day, pieces of his memory flash to him and he is given a clue. Each day he is guided closer to his goal, closer to being reunited with the people he lost. He feels something, a storm of chaos brewing, and only that. Soon, as with all stories, his time will come. ---------------- "We must make haste. Let them spectate from afar, if they want. None of that matters right now." He strode past the boy, as tumbleweeds blew around him. The Barrens was not his ideal. Not at all. (edited by Grey on 12-08-05 03:37 PM) |

| There's a small pause at this...
"Wait a sec... I said we were fighting right here, didn't I? The purpose is to show these fellows that--" But that's when he notices that Johnathan has just walked right by. "Hehe, looks like a bossy one," one of the fighters in the crowd comments. "Hey D-money! What're ya gonna do with this stranger?" "Yeah!" "Come on!" "Le's see what'cha kin do!" "Yaa!" "Alright, alright! Calm down, people... Let's wait to see if he comes back. After all, I'm giving you guys a show, aren't I? I can't just walk off and-- yeah, you get the picture..." An elven archer approaches, from the crowd of course. "So, you're from an alternate dimension?" "....Yeah..." He seems uncomfortable at this subject. "Any idea how you got here, mate?" "...My memories... They're distorted... It's not Amnesia, either, it's... as if fragments are missing, corrupting them..." "Bummer." The group is very interested in this boy now. A cleric askes another question. "I've studied Delaga Ex before as a scholar. What's it like?" "I just told you, my memories..." "Alright, give the boy a break!" some guy in the group says. They back off, and Diaxos looks like he's about to lose it. *pant, pant* "He better come back to battle me..." OOC: Sorry, 's what'cha get for trying to change the battle's plot.  |

| Johnathan: "You are a stubborn one..."
He snaps his fingers, and a block of ice bursts from the ground, encasing itself around Diaxos' feet and pinning him to the spot. "Fine. You can battle me right there. Where you stand. It's clearly what you want, correct?" He looks back, with a glimmer in his eye. |

| "Huh?"
Diaxos' feet lock, with no chance of him dodging due to the element of surprise. He looks down... "Haha, very funny... I know you're not serious about that. It was a simple request, whaddya mean I'm stubborn? I'm not just looking for a street fight, ya know!" "YEAH! The boy wants to prove his power!" "Give 'em a break, chap!" "You suck, stranger!" With support from the crowd, Diaxos smiles a little. "So I take it we've begun?" And he becomes a blur for a moment as he spins around, shatters the ice block with the sudden movement, and stands in a ready-stance with a weapon suddenly in his hands. It's a Katana, but it looks mystical... The blade is a dark, silvery onyx with a gold streak from the blade tip to the hilt. The blade also has dark-blue runes inscribed all over it. "Chaosmusket! Awaken and generate our energy!" Diaxos thrusts the blade upwards, and the runes start to glow brighter as it begins to hum a high-pitched pulsing sound. The runes flash bright-blue, as a tiny yet intense speck of blue light is released from the blade and hovers next to the sword. This happens a second, then a third time, and the third time generates a green light instead of a blue one. There are a total of 3 light-dots hovering around the sword; 2 blues and 1 green. "Alright! I've never done battle before, but don't be afraid to go all-out, ya hear?" The crowd cheers enthusiastically. Meanwhile, Diaxos' memories flash through him, and while he can't make sense of them, he gets the feeling he has indeed done battle before... it just doesn't feel like it... DChakra @ @ @ |

| Johnathan: "Tactics, 101.
He leaps into the air and vanishes! "Never let your opponent..." From all around Diaxos, the sheer humidity of the Barrens' hot air solidifies as a cold wind blows around him. Suddenly, hundreds of tiny ice shards come flying at him, like a sea of a thousand needles! "Get the first shot!" But the needles melt in the air as Johnathan's tactic shows its true nature: A diversion, allowing Johnathan himself to reappear in front of Diaxos, a large, razor-sharp spear of ice aimed at Diaxos' heart! It's plain to see that this man is not going for an innocent spar... |

| "Chilly?"
Diaxos grips his blade, preparing... He then sees the shower of shards, and scoffs. "Ha! I can protect against that more easily than-- huh?" But then they vanish. Johnathan's real attack closes in, catching Diaxos completely off guard. "Ohno!" Time seems to freeze for a moment as Diaxos' sword takes over. "Chaosmusket, Mastery Catch!" The attack reaches Diaxos, and Diaxos' arm and blade move at light-speed, catching and blocking the large projectile and shattering it. (Tech.) Noticable is that both of Diaxos' blue light-dots are gone. But after blocking the attack, the blade's runes flash blue twice, spawning two more blue lights. "Whew... What, are you trying to kill me? C'mon, this is friendly!" The crowd starts chipping in as well. "Bastard! This is a spar!" "Burn in Hell, child of the devil!" "Ssh, that wasn't nice, Rick..." "Dang, this kid's pretty good to block that attack like that..." "Go Diaxos!" Diaxos turns around real quick. "You guys aren't helping." He apparently doesn't like pressure. Still no attack from Diaxos this turn. DChakra @ @ @ (edited by Schwa on 12-11-05 11:11 AM) |

| Johnathan: "That is the idea, fellow. Fight like you need to!"
Johnathan's attack is relentless: He forms a shard of ice in his hand, and it splits into multiple discs, each one sharper as a sawblade, hurling them in easily predictable patterns at Diaxos. Why wasn't he attacking? Johnathan pondered, and began to add a bit of touch and flash to his moves. There had to be more to this than he thought at first... |

| "Perfect. Haha!"
The crowd pipes up. "'Perfect'??" "He's lost it..." "He's doomed!" "Goooo Diaxos!" The blades approach. Darting with semi-quick, almost ninja-like reflexes, Chaosmusket the Runed Katana darts in and out like crazy, purposefully getting in the flight-path of each disc, and shattering each one with a flashy swipe. Each block made causes the Katana's runes to flash and produce one extra blue light. By the time the attacks are done, 7 more lights are visible, making a total of 9 blues and 1 green. "Chaosmusket! Focus power!" 5 of the lights flash once, and burst into blue flames, which seperate into pieces and are sucked into the blade. The sword glows brightly... "Now... Combo Dash attack!" Diaxos blinks out if visibility as he darts in front of Johnathan and lets loose an elite slash. Then he darts to another angle, slashing again, then another angle. His combo consists of 6 steps, each for average Physical damage, adding up to be very, very powerful if they all connect for full. Diaxos ends his combo by darting back to his origional position. The crowd goes wild. "Hehe, not bad? Shouldn't have given me the means!" DChakra @ @ @ @ |

| Johnathan looks puzzled.
Johnathan: "Means to do what?" The areas of his body that Diaxos so neatly slashed proved to have been encased in thick ice, showing only slight scratch marks. "You do not even know my name, and I am trying to kill you, here... These people are mocking me, and here I am, the only fighter around that seems to understand just what the battle is for." The skies darken as Johnathan's face does the same. A true oddity in the desert, clouds begin forming in the sky. Dark clouds. Storm clouds, of an intimidating nature, masses of vapor that serve no purpose other than to cry their tears upon the land and bring the tease and dreams of a lively possibility to the Barren wasteland. "I will do my best. You, sadly, do not seem to enjoy the same freedom..." He encases his hands in ice, and darts toward Diaxos, sharpening his fists to points and proceeding to stab forward at Diaxos with ever-increasing viciousness! |

| Diaxos is amazed, and more than a little surprised, at this queer defense.
"Wow... You're some kind of ice creature! Yeah, that's it!" "Diaxos, watch out, he's attacking again!" someone in the crowd shouts. "No duh." Diaxos waits for the foe to approach, and upon his attack, Diaxos defends with Chaosmusket almost perfectly and counters with two fast, horizontal slashes. His defense wasn't spot-on this time, and he took a noticable cut on the right arm. He winces. "N-not bad..." Upon defending, Chaosmusket glows and produces 2 more blue lights. "Chaosmusket, Mana Shift." The sword's runes glow white as they draw in and absorb all 5 lights. The runes then glow green, producing 2 green lights instead. Diaxos now has no blues left, and 3 greens hovering close to the katana. "As for trying to kill me, I say you take everything too seriously. Lighten up! I just got here." The crowd goes wild at that.

| Johnathan: "Battle is serious business. If you are not prepared to kill, you are only prepared to die. Something so dangerous should never be taken so lightly."
He examines his left. The ice had cracked and scratched his skin, and blood stained the pure white of his cold armor. It melted back into Johnathan, showing a clean cut that he cauterized quickly by freezing the skin around the wound. He raises an eyebrow, and kicks things up a notch. "The skies have darkened, my friend. Look up." Amazingly enough, snow began to fall, gently and softly, as soon as the man uttered his request. The bright midday sun was no longer shining on The Barrens and herds of gazelles and velociraptors fled to their shelters along with prowlers and plainstriders as the snow, previously a substance completely unknown to them, wafted toward the ground. Johnathan placed a pair of black sunglasses on his face... "Look up and welcome the maelstrom!" |

| "Yes, but remember... This isn't just a battle..."
Diaxos holds the sword up as the 3 green lights burn up, break apart, and are drawn into the blade... "...it's a SPAR!" The crowd cheers. "That's the way, laddie!" "Sock it to 'em!" "True guts, kid." "Chaosmusket! Pyro level Cappa attack!" Diaxos shifts the weapon to his left hand and makes a hand-gesture, as flames appear out of nowhere and gather in his hand. Soon, 5 large fireballs have formed around his hand, and with another motion and a forward thrust, the fireballs take off, one by one, blazing towards his foe. Each attack is packed with above-decent power, and if Diaxos judges correctly, he hopes they'll do extra damage to our icy friend due to an element weakness. "Whoa, so the kid can do magic too!?" "Aw, that rivaled even my Dragon Scorch attack..." "Hell yeah! That was more efficient than even my Holy Singe!" "Hey D! Where'd you learn to be so versatile?" Diaxos turns around. "You tell me, big guy... I just got here." They laugh lightheartedly. They seem to be enjoying themselves, and deep down, Diaxos feels warm in the presence of their enjoyable company. Positive emotional connections are never to be underestimated... |

| Name: Diaxos
Age: ?? Weight: Human Type: Humanoid Resistance to Cold: Fire/Swordsmanship User Analysis: Ice will result in continued use of fire-based abilities. These words flashed across Johnathan's sunglasses as the snowfall quickly turned into a miniature snowstorm. He stomped his foot, and from the ground around him grew large shards of ice which collided with the fireballs and melted down to water. The snowstorm further dampened the effects of the heat and amplified Johnathan's freezing aggression. The temperature kept dropping. Johnathan: "Fool." While Diaxos' back was turned, Johnathan jumped into the air towards him, bringing his fist down into the ground and scattering shards of ice and a wave of cold out from his strike! "Frost Nova!!!" |
