PvP Bootcamp: Insalius vs. Jinan B

[The Storyteller]

The large arena was silent, two combatants facing each other twenty meters apart in the center of the huge circular arena. Sand covered the arena floor, and the sun beat down from above. There was only one thing to do. Kill or be killed.

Spoiler: gear

• One generic level 1 Force user
• One single bladed lightsaber.
• Clothes

Spoiler: rules

• Keep fluff to a minimum, focus on technical detail
• Instructors will be posting observations and advice throughout the thread, once every posting round or two.

[Dorian]

I stepped onto the sand, lightsaber in my right hand as I looked at my opponent. I began to call upon the Force to come to my aid, preparing for it's use yet only doing just that at the moment. I began to circle around to my left, watching his body movements as I brought my lightsaber to life. I would wait for him to make the first move, trying to gauge how he would act and gain some insight to his thoughts. I wanted to think that I was ready for anything he could throw at me. I was being cautious, perhaps too cautious, but that was just how I was. I'd seen too many people rush off to their deaths because they didn't take the time to observe their enemy first. I intended to keep a at least three meters between myself and my opponent to have enough time to react as needed. If he decided to also use the Force against me, I would need every second I could get.


((OOC: Tried to go for as little fluff as possible, just straight actions with minor personality that would affect said actions and judgement.))

 

[Titus Bradford]

Titus did not rush to make any sudden moves once the fight began, instead looking closely at the field and his opponent. He noticed the wall of the arena 10 meters behind him, as well as the person that he was fighting begin to move 20 meters ahead. On his own part, the jedi would light his own yellow-bladed lightsaber and hold it horizontally at his waist; the blade itself coming across his body as he slowly advanced towards his opponent. Though he might have appeared lazy and unguarded to his opponent, Titus knew to anticipate a possible overhead strike meant to attack the area not covered by his guard, and was ready to bring his blade up if his opponent showed any sign of making an attack.

Assuming that his opponent continued his leftward movement, Titus would begin to draw upon the force as he came within 10 meters of the exile. Still approaching at no more than a brisk walk, he would take the few seconds that it took to reach the final 5 meters of distance between them to build up the force in his left hand, ready to use it to launch his first strike. All this time he would be ready to defend himself against any sudden attack made by his opponent, be it made physically or through the force.
