Unity or Civil War?

[Orphen]

wow, okay.

 

[Apollyon]

Why is Tok ASSUMING A'den would execute him? A'den isn't the official Aliit leader YET, he is the highest ranking officer. Plus, I am trying to ensure clan survival so at worst Drrel would get a slap on the wrist, extra farm work or something. Not to sound rude because I am not a rude person but Tok don't assume what another persons character would do, there is no way of telling that. Also, I can edit in that force shove I have been posting on a cell from a construction site lately sorry o forgot it :S

 

[Raif]

Just a reminder to everyone, my guy's Force wave would, given all of the explosions and crap going on, nore than likely feel like the a simple concussion blast. If I see anyone saying 'zomg that guy's a sith!!1!' I'm going to lose my mind.

 

[Apollyon]

Duly noted

 

[Orphen]

Egress'd character to medical bay. And he will stab anyone that comes near him with a needle >.<

Though on another note. My reasoning for writing his suvival was, i think he has much more grounds to life. iving it thought. Yes he just went through hell, but i'd like to see him make a comeback. And see how the mandos are going. He lost a lota blood, and you essentially knocked out his combat carreer for a while IC until he goes through Rehab, and maybe gets the prosthetics he wants + new armour, which he needs.

Would anyone like to do a cool talking/ philosophy thread with him in his room?

I think the person who almost BLEW HIM UP should go and have a discussion with him.

 

[Django]

I would love to for Titus to have a talk with him. ^^ Titus has been there (being injured so bad), and hasn't even healed fully quite yet. I expect him to get hurt in this thread, of course, so a meeting would be fun. :3

 

[Raif]

Maybe my guy will come have a 'talk' with him and finish what he and Apollo started lol

 

[Sreeya]

I really think Corden and Lucius should do a separate thread without everyone else derping around in the containment fields or medical bays.

 

[Crim]

Don't mind us.

 

[Orphen]

or Just asidr from the fight, this thread seems to be done, so unless the ship suddenly explodes. You have your way out as long as you're wounded, so shoot yourself in the leg ;)

 

[Django]

I think right now the players are just watching what Lucius and Corden are doing, no reason to make more posts besides them two so no reason for them to make a new thread. :333

 

[Sreeya]

Except people are doing new posts lol

 

[Django]

Tell them to stop. :P

The only reason I added a new one was to redo my other to fit in the fields, etc. I didn't mention the Force push, but meh, Titus was already on the ground anyways when it happened I believe. Personally I won't be adding a new one.

 

[Apollyon]

Meh deleted my last post :P someone notify me when the fight it done :D

 

[Tokuhara]

Meh deleted my last post :P someone notify me when the fight it done :D

See above

Lucius walked up to the platform, rolling his shoulders a bit. He turned on his comm to all loyalist forces "All Loyalist forces stand down and enjoy the show." Even in times of turmoil, he managed to find a way to make things fun. He turned on his external speakers as he got on the platform. "It is done" he said as he took a few paces away from Corden and pulled out the two swords on his back"So is this to the death or what?" he asked before they could begin.

"Really? Wow, thanks" Lucius exclaimed, in contrast to his opponent drawing a primitive weapon from his back, it looked dangerous, though archaic in more than one sense. Lucius stood ready, hands to either side as he draws a vibro knife from his boot. His right foot forward with his rear foot in behind. As the pincer attack came at him he would duck his head back as a precaution and raise a hand to the mace, his prosthetic hands easily catching in the notches of the weapon as the force would have knocked another opponent well off. His hand then locked on the swing of the mace. Simultaneously he raised his lead foot to dodge the plasma flail. The force of the mace would normally just knock him away but he swung his wrist in time with the moment up of the weapon as he grabbed it, as it then forced Lucius to spin in a counter direction. The lock on the mace and Lucius’ superior weight due to the sum of his implants granted him incredible strength and stability.

Rolling into the attack Lucius threatened to hyperextend the arm of Corden, positioning himself slightly behind him left shoulder to left shoulder as one of Lucius’ vibro knives were gripped in reverse firmly in his hand. Continuing to spin the knife would aim to be plunged into Cordens’ shoulder with post human strength. The extreme hyper-extension threatening to amputate the entire limb should the attack work. Should it not, there was an incredibly high probability that Corden would have to drop the mace to save his arm. Where Lucius would discard it to the opposite side of the chamber well away from himself in the same swing as to avoid any form of explosion or the like. The spinning motion however, other than the opportunity to get behind his opponents wild though calculated swing served the purpose to build momentum…

Lucus from a position of advantage, his opponent would almost have to naturally turn. At the apex of his spin, balancing himself Lucius crouched low. Quite low, spinning on a pivot of his left leg he would let out a powerful and incredibly fluid strike with his right leg, capable to shattering Cordens’ kneecaps if he turned into the attack. While hitting him strong enough to take his legs out from under him if he turned away from the attack. Almost two thousand pounds of kinetic force stretched through Lucius’ armored body as the kick would connect with Cordens’ far side. As Lucius’ intended footwork needed to take him that far. Planting his left hand on the ground gave the kick immeasurable power as well. If he were to follow Lucius, either way he would have to control the swing of the flail to follow Lucius, with his eyes. And were he to reconstitute the swing, he would have to break his own eye contact and leave himself blind for the fractions of seconds that were vital to him to avoid the attack, which would most likely soar over Lucius’ head.

The process would be completed in a single fluent motion, Lucius’ mechanically enhanced speed playing to his advantage, as well as his strength. Corden was barely fighting a human. He was a fool. “You’re slow.” Lucius taunted. “Not a good start for you Sir.” Honest respect for his former rank in his voice, but a rebellious nature seeping through between the cracks… This would be fun.

A lot of the content in the second post confuses me to no end, so I decided to repost it here for review. It definitely needs to be worked out before I can formulate a reply. The majority of the actions I've bolded and highlighted in white are contradictory. As I visualize these actions playing out, all I can think of is a crazy contortionist/gymnast with Tourette's Syndrome flailing about randomly.

Below is a summary of Lucius' IC actions. I'm listing them in order exactly as they appear in both posts...

Lucius removes two swords that were sheathed on his back. Lucius positions his hands on either side of himself as he reaches down and removes a vibroknife from his boot (which implies he had to lean over to get it). At the same time, he is ducking his head back and raising a hand to grab the mace (with "the force would have knocked another opponent well off.)" He is also raising his right foot at that precise moment. Following so far? He's leaning over, ducking his head, grabbing at the mace, and raising a foot at the same time. Keep in mind that he is supposed to have those two swords in his hands while also holding a vibroknife and grabbing the mace.


Next, he is using the mace's momentum and allowing the hand gripping it to swing with the weapon (see the quote a few lines above; if we consider both actions, they imply he is going along with the mace's forward motion and pushing it away at the same time). He is now spinning in the opposite "counter" direction the mace was moving. All the while, he has ""incredible strength and stability."

Immediatly following that, he is rolling INTO the attack... just a second ago he was moving in a "counter direction" right? Next he is coming out of that roll shoulder to shoulder with Corden whilst stabbing at Corden's shoulder with the knife. He's still holding on to the mace at this point, hyper-extending Corden's arm... all this after moving with the attack, then away from the attack, and then rolling right up next to Corden. He then states that Lucius is in a "position of advantage." Somehow he is still spinning at this point, but he is also crouched very low. At the same time, he states that Lucius is "spinning on a pivot of his left leg he would let out a powerful and incredibly fluid strike with his right leg" while "planting his left hand on the ground."

All of that, he states, was completed "in a single fluent motion." Obviously he meant fluid, not fluent, but I think you get the point.

So what do you make of all that?

 

[Apollyon]

I can't imagine all of that being done in a fluid motion...whither you have cybernetic enhancements or not...you are still human not a Greek God...perhaps he should react a little more realistically?

 

[Sreeya]

The last two paragraphs make far too many assumptions on Corden's positioning. There's way too much going on in one reply, when Corden pretty much just launched two attacks (one to primarily distract) and majority of his post was what would happen if Lucius tried to react to it in different ways. Lucius, I think you need to make your reply a bit more clear. It's honestly all over the place and borderline incoherent.

 

[Orphen]

A rule i always went by, is if someone has a weapon, and does something with the weapon hand. They drop it. From what i can understand. the 'counter direction' would just be if you grab something moving one way, you're going to move the other. Which would make him spin into you/ along the reverse of your arm. Which is pobably how he intends to get behind you.

The attack would have to be in 2 motions too. But by 'fluent' i think he means he doesn't really stop moving.

That's my say. 'returns to medbay'

Below is a summary of Lucius' IC actions. I'm listing them in order exactly as they appear in both posts...

Lucius removes two swords that were sheathed on his back. Lucius positions his hands on either side of himself as he reaches down and removes a vibroknife from his boot (which implies he had to lean over to get it). At the same time, he is ducking his head back and raising a hand to grab the mace (with "the force would have knocked another opponent well off.)"

Keep in mind that he is supposed to have those two swords in his hands while also holding a vibroknife and grabbing the mace.

To answer this: Ducking his head back means simply he is leaning his head backwards. Him grabbing the mace while holding the sword really isn't something out of this galaxy, and he held back a blow that would have knocked anybody well off. He is also raising his right foot at the same time, allowing him to absorb some of the mace blow, while still dodging the flail. As far as the vibro knife it was a mistake on my part and it really shouldn't be there, I had told you in VM the same thing. All in all it's a fluid and simple motion, basically all he is doing is leaning back.

Next, he is using the mace's momentum and allowing the hand gripping it to swing with the weapon (see the quote a few lines above; if we consider both actions, they imply he is going along with the mace's forward motion and pushing it away at the same time). He is now spinning in the opposite "counter" direction the mace was moving. All the while, he has ""incredible strength and stability."

Ok to answer this: Lucius is at first going against the Mace's force, but then switches to using it by extending Corden's arm and rolling around it. As far as the "incredible strength and stability.", all that means is that Lucius has sure footing, enhanced with cybernetics.

Immediatly following that, he is rolling INTO the attack... just a second ago he was moving in a "counter direction" right? Next he is coming out of that roll shoulder to shoulder with Corden whilst stabbing at Corden's shoulder with the knife. He's still holding on to the mace at this point, hyper-extending Corden's arm... all this after moving with the attack, then away from the attack, and then rolling right up next to Corden. He then states that Lucius is in a "position of advantage." Somehow he is still spinning at this point, but he is also crouched very low. At the same time, he states that Lucius is "spinning on a pivot of his left leg he would let out a powerful and incredibly fluid strike with his right leg" while "planting his left hand on the ground."

Ok all the second paragraph is is the last few sentences in the first paragraph in detail. So the roll (Which is a spin just to be clear) already happened. Lucius is rolling/spinning down Corden's arm on the opposite side of the swing, extending Corden's arm, that is where he stabs his shoulder. Lucius is in a "position of advantage." due to the fact he is behind Corden, which normally is considered an advantage. The kick itself is a low spinning capoera kick, which in Lucius' position, shouldn't be hard to do.

All of that, he states, was completed "in a single fluent motion." Obviously he meant fluid, not fluent, but I think you get the point.

Fluent means graceful and easy, so either word works.

The last two paragraphs make far too many assumptions on Corden's positioning. There's way too much going on in one reply, when Corden pretty much just launched two attacks (one to primarily distract) and majority of his post was what would happen if Lucius tried to react to it in different ways. Lucius, I think you need to make your reply a bit more clear. It's honestly all over the place and borderline incoherent.

Tbh, they are logical assumptions, he can't just say no to the hyper extension, when Lucius is: A)Probably Much stronger and B)Probably Much faster, giving Corden little time to react. Also Corden doesn't need to turn around, but if he doesn't that just makes things worse for him.

Hopes this clears up things.
