Fandom Fight Club, Post II

[tyler_back]

Hi hi!

Fandom Fight Club, as outlined in this post is a go. Its first meeting is set for this Sunday in Atlas Gym, and handwavey announcements have been made.

Comments

BEGINNER

[tyler_back]

Sign up in this thread if your character is very new to sparring.

Re: BEGINNER

[thismaskiwear]

Katina Choovanski, no RNG this week on account of both RL and that someone needs to drag her into this. ;)

Re: BEGINNER

[stocksgrrl]

Turtle Wexler, can RNG if needed, or not!

Re: BEGINNER

[lovemykilt]

Priestly. No RNG this week, please, for the same reasons as Katchoo.

INTERMEDIATE

[tyler_back]

Sign up in this thread if your character has been in a fair number of fights, knows the basics, and sometimes even wins.

Re: INTERMEDIATE

[tyler_back]

Tyler Durden, who wants to be in the RNG this week.

Re: INTERMEDIATE

[blondecanary]

Dinah Lance, RNG for this week

[Just barely intermediate -- formal training in eskrima, and kickboxing, but probably only the equivalent of a green or orange belt; 17 months of constant training]

Re: INTERMEDIATE

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri Veila, sitting out the RNG this week due to RL, woe.

ADVANCED

[tyler_back]

Sign up in this thread if your character is especially trained, skilled, or generally good enough to win almost all the freaking time.

Note the first: There's no shame in sticking a character in Intermediate. I'm putting Tyler in Intermediate.

Note the second: Yes, some characters would, if asked IC, misstate their experience level. (Sarah Walker would, for example.) Please classify them honestly here anyhow.

Re: ADVANCED

[saveyoulater]

Sarah Walker, who wants to be in the RNG this week.

Re: ADVANCED

[time_flyer_5]

Jen Scotts, also sitting out the RNG this week. Pesky RL!

Re: ADVANCED

[raspberryturk]

Reno, loving the RNG!

POWERS

[tyler_back]

Sign up here if your character has some kind of ability related to who they are that they'd definitely want to use in a fight.

Re: POWERS

[blondecanary]

Dinah's used to fighting with, and without her telekinesis, but she'd like the option of doing either/or, and giving her opponents fair warning. She can both push opponents away, trip them, and slam them into mats. In a spar with weapons, it's great for retrieving one she dropped. But she knows she needs to be able to fight without them, so she's okay with either scenario.

She'd probably have to warn *everyone* about the touch-telepathy, which doesn't usually tend to show up in a fight, but against someone else with similar powers is more likely to be triggered. She's 5'10", and strong, but still a rookie in her approach.

Re: POWERS

[time_flyer_5]

I have no idea if this will even need to come up, but. Jen's Ranger identity has no need to be secret in Fandom, and isn't any more, really. In the event that someone powered needs to deal out a little extra punishment on any given week, I'm more than happy to make her do her silly armwavey thing and go spandexy. Just the suit -- none of the weapons.

This will not protect her from taking a beating, and she will come out of it bruised and bloody, but it will let her withstand extra punishment from getting thrown around telekinetically or whatnot -- which is to say just keep her from sustaining injuries that would be life-threatening to a normal human her size otherwise.

Editing again (sorry!) to note that Jen's 5'7" and probably right around 140 pounds. Just for reference. ;) And she will fight dirty.

Re: POWERS

[raspberryturk]

Reno is fast. Incredibly fast. Blink-and-you-miss-him fast. It's his claim to fame as a Turk, and it's how he keeps his sorry self alive. It isn't so much a power, but it is a speed beyond what a normal human can achieve, and he'll probably want to take advantage of that in an unarmed fight, for sure.

QUESTIONS/COMMENTS

[tyler_back]

Ask here! We may even answer!

Re: QUESTIONS/COMMENTS

[kestrelswolf]

Seriously, if anyone actually wants to wolf-wrestle and it's cool with the in-chargey types... I'm up for that. Or Blind Seer is. Whatever.

Re: QUESTIONS/COMMENTS

[atreideslioness]

Wolf-wrestling is totes okay! We won't put Blind Seer in the RNG quite yet, but it looks like there's plenty of people willing to partner up with him in open sparring, including Ghanima and Anemone.

Re: QUESTIONS/COMMENTS

[lovemykilt]

I'm working 3-midnight EST this Sunday, but if y'all're still up for Priestly deciding to protest and getting dragged in, I'd be totally down.
