[Anomaly]

...First off, nice to see your still able ot participate. Second, even though its certainly to my forte either, you made some obvious spelling and gramatical errors that are abit too glaring. It is unfortunate, but the ability to be understood is extremely important in battle, and as I such I suggest you use a spelling and grammar checker on what you type before you post it in a serious battle. As this is just training and I'd be a hypocryte if I held you in disdain for it, I will overlook it for now. I merely ask if you have made a Character Statistic entry for this character and if you ould provide a link.

That he doesn't have a name, however, tells me pretty much all I need to know. We'll work on your character profile but first lets go over your post.

You made your intro, established a reason for wanting to fight, and gave a brief description of your character and hinted at his fighting style and powers. These are all good things. The negatives are repetition...you repeated the imagery of hair and cape blowing in the wind and the burning of the tree a little too often. Don't be afraid to branch out to describe other things. You're new to this...thats ok.

However, what IS unacceptable, that I have seen is your apprent inatentiveness to your enemy. Your enemies posts are in fact MORE IMPORTANT TO YOUR VICTORY THAN YOUR OWN. you must be constantly aware of every little change, every factor, you must study all the information the enemy offers. The Blood Reaver is the name of my sword. If you need a link to my characters stats I can provide one. Also note that in my initial post I ALSO said the clouds peeled back to reveal it was night (stars out, a watery crimson moon, you follow?) not day time.

While its good that you branched out to talk about the changing enviroment, it is vital to maintain plot continuity in battle. Though RPB focuses on combat, one should not sacrifice sensibility for its sake. Keep that in mind in your next post. If you could, draw up a rough Charcter stat sheet for your character. I'll draw up one of what I've observed so far, and you can fill in the blanks.

Name: 'unknown'
Age: appears young
Appearnce: clothed in blue with a blue cape, red eyes, and long blond hair
Personality: a Firey young man seeking vengence for his family
Weapon/s: Claws
Armor: 'unknown'
Magics: Fire

Now, for the most part your introduction is passable. However, I hope you will strive to make a better effort in your next post. Will now respond to your character and make a physical attack.

The storm boils only on the horizon now, as the two glare at one another. The Anomalist did not know, or at least did not remember this boy or his family. As it was, however, he wasn't all that suprised. It was common occurance for complete strangers to track him down, blaming him for the death of someone he wasn't even aware he had killed. But then life was so wretchedly fragile...any little thing could snuff it out.

This one appeared incensed...his rage leaked out in a magical sense. Flames of hatred and indignation scortched the very earth and a rather unfortunate tree. Fire elementals...all the young ones were always fire elementals. It never failed to amaze the Anomalist just how incredibley unimaginative people could be. But then the flame was a rather gruesome way to go as well as a helpful element...it seemed hopelessly enshrined in human imagination as a thing of wonder. Strange indeed for creatures born of the earth.

Switching his grip on his blade, and hefting it forwards, Anomaly smiles.

"Vengeance is it that you desire, oh firey one? Well that is something I'm quite familar with. I'd say I would aid you in quenching your thirst for it, but if it would take my blood to abate it then I'm afraid you will have to fight for every mouthful!"

His apprent self-ceclared enemy continues forward. On the horizon, the storm grows feircer. What had caused it to be driven back so thoroughly? Was it the burning spirit of this man clad in blue...or was it something else. The Blood Reaver, the cruel kris blade clenched in Anomaly's fist, gives a low, soft growl...the same noise you'd expect from a beast drunk with battle lust.

"Blood...yes. If you want it, lets see if you can take it half as well as my blade!"

In an instant, the gap between the Anomalist and the blue clad male was eliminated. A swath of churned earth exploded in Anomaly's wake, the after effects of his sudden burst of speed. A crimson arc is traced in that wake as well, marking the path of the kris blade...the sword is swung in a beautiful arc, aimed to slash through the newcomers middle...arms, chest, and all.

Now then, as for your reply, here's what I want to see. The attack is a standard horizontal slash. It can be dodged by ducking or by jumping high enough, and it is possible to block if you have sufficent armor and can absourb the blow. I want to see a physical block or dodge anda physical counter attack. NO MAGIC or any special skills yet...I wish to gauge your physcial abilities only. If your character is mostly a magic user then a weak physicallity should be reflected, though a grace of movement would be acceptable.

Whatever you decide, I do want a physcial counter attack...put those claws to good use, and REMEMBER. It is not you that decides if your blows hit, it is your enemy. Do not take control of another persons character, their reactions, or say what does and does not effect them. I'll take care of that end for my character as you do on your end for yours.
