THE FIGHT MEME

THE (january) FIGHT MEME

What else needs to be said? Release your inner warrior and partake in some epic (or hilariously bad) battles! Do you use a sword? Are you a martial arts master? Are you a wizard? Can you even fight?

It doesn't matter if you're just having a friendly spar or deciding the fate of the universe. You're suddenly filled with the urge to fight the next person you meet. Cut loose and show off your skills!

RULES

◘ Post with your character! List your fighting preferences if you'd like (Sparring, Death Battles, Anything Goes, etc.)
◘ Reply to someone else
◘ ROUND 1...
◘ ... FIGHT!

Here are some prompts to pick from (or RNG from):

1: VERBAL
Not all fights are physical. Maybe you're just really mad and really loud.

2: WUSSY
This is possibly the dumbest limp-wristed flail fight you've ever been involved in.

3: WITS
Because why would you beat someone into the ground when you can humiliate them with your massive intellect instead?

4: PRIZEFIGHT
There's an audience to watch and a prize at stake that only one of you can walk away with. Best bring your A-game.

5: SPARRING
You're fighting to improve. Whether you know your partner or whether you've
just met, you can be pretty sure you're walking away from this one.

6: GRUDGE MATCH
Your hated rival is in town. It's time for a rematch.

7: BAR FIGHT
Welcome to the mother of all drunken brawls.

8: YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS!
Maybe your opponent is your friend/sibling/love/other cherished person. Maybe
you're a pacifist. Either way, you're in this fight, but you really
don't want to be.

9: TO THE DEATH
This is it. Too much has happened for this to be anything but a fight to the end. Only one of you is walking away from this.

10: OBLIGATORY SMUT OPTION
Hate sex is the best. And some people like smut and some do not.

11: AGAINST THE HORDE
It's you and your ally against many. Demons, zombies, whatever. Rip and tear, until it is done.

12: GODMODE
You and your opponent both have world-breaking superpowers, and frankly everyone would be happier if you weren't fighting. You are, though, and it's awesome, even if there might not be much left when you're done.

13: RANDOM
Your very own personalized scenario.

[Prizefight's a good one for him, as a boxer and wrestler. Grudge match, too.]

( best options for her are: 2, 3, 8, 10. Down for 7 if it's her teaming up with someone against NPCs. Also down for 11, just know she won't be the most useful teammate. I guess 5 is also possible, but she'd be likely to try and turn it into something flirty/sexy. )

(( You wanna get trained!? Or a proper fight is good too. ))

((Can offer this guy for a prizefight (complete with mechanical arm that can be broken guilt-free), but as he doesn't have any powers it might have to involve some kind of powers-suppressing device.))

Bio-. A man from a world where once a month, somewhere in the world is struck by a reality-altering event. He has recently joined the organisation that combats paranormal events and supernatural criminals, using his transmogrification powers.

Things I'd love- Yamada getting schooled by a more experienced fighter (as in being taught or getting his shit wrecked), teaming up on an NPC boss way out of either's league (I love coming up with these off the cuff opponents), or a savage battle to the death.

( Most interested in: 5, 7, 8, or 11. Possibly 10, but would prefer some buildup before getting to the smutty part. I'll be writing her with her regeneration unless we plot out some kind of AU first. )

( info on her journal. younger version also available with

irishwhips - just ask for her. fighting is, like, one of her Things, so most of these prompts would work. F/M for anything shippy or smutty, otherwise OTA. )

[Most likely a sparring match, or a team up against some other opponent (or numerous opponents]

[open to all-comers at any level but the best fights are: prizefight, sparring, bar fights, hordes, and godmode bc One Piece. Not interested in taking it smutty, let's just fight each other or fight the hordes for fun! Permissions/info in his journal]

[Hand-to-hand prizefight for Zoro and this fistfighty boi? Could be boxing, kickboxing, or MMA.]

[well, he has exactly zero formal hand-to-hand training, so on his end it would be all bar brawl. if that's fine with you, I'd be amused to try it out and find out how badly he'd do in a formal setting]

[Ahaha, that works for me, but if you prefer I can switch to a different, less-trained-more-brawly character.]

[ooh tough choice, weird chaos tournament battle or a different character? let me see what you got and I'll decide]

[I can offer a Keith Kogane from Voltron (so a grumpy angerboi from space); a Yamato Ishida (from the third series or new movies of Digimon, so the 18-22 year old version of a spiky angerboi); or a Richter Belmont from Castlevania (sarcastic vampire-hunting boi).]

[oh man I feel like Belmont would have the weirdest dynamic to work with? Maybe a mistaken-identity throwdown where each think the other is a monster?]

[That could work, although I'd be interested in still doing the prizefight prompt these two (with the setting being some underground fight club for earning extra cash).]

[sure, the prompt still works. let's roll with that. if you have a start in mind go for it, and I'll roll with any format you prefer

[Awesome. Okay, starter time ...]

[Maria would probably kill Richter for being here, in this dimly lit fight club in the basement of a tavern. She'd probably have a whole rant about bad uses of his time, but one, it's fun, two, it pays, and three, Maria's idea of a fun evening is going to a political rally. So what does she know, really.

Richter keeps to the back of the crowd, only half-watching the fight currently taking place. It ends when the bigger man, a heavy bearded fellow Richter thinks might be a soldier, gets the smaller one in a headlock and beats him unconscious. Once both fighters have exited, one of the fight promoters slaps Richter on the shoulder and mutters a quick 'You're up.'

Richter barely avoids a sarcastic remark about how it took long enough. He approaches the ring instead -- a square, raised platform of wood with thick, nautical rope stretched between the posts -- and pulls off his boots, his jacket, his shirt. When he climbs up into the ring, he tries to at least make a show of it for the poor sods gambling their savings away here, raising his arm like he's already won.]

[and in the other corner...this guy.

It's Zoro's own fault, really. Going into every tavern with no cash on his person was bound to end in something like this sooner or later. At least fighting away his excessive tab is a win-win for him, he gets his exercise and fun and doesn't have to pay actual money, but being told he couldn't use his swords was kind of a momentary downer.

Oh well, no big, he thinks as he stands there, cracking his neck. He's picked up more than a few moves over the years, hasn't he? His opponent enters, and Zoro takes a moment to size him up, squinting in the dim basement light.]

Ah, c'mon. You're gonna give me a little guy?

[compared to the previous fight, that is. Zoro himself doesn't even top 6 feet, he has no room to talk. But he makes a good show of it, stretching his arms and rolling his thick neck one more time.]

All right, fine. S'up, you wanna do this for real?

[Little? Sure, maybe compared to Beardy before, and a few of the other fighters are massive, but Richter doesn't think he's been called 'little' since he was fifteen.

He rolls out his shoulders, squaring them to maybe look a little bigger.]

Doing it for real is why we're here, right? And -- I think it's what the crowd wants.

[Said crowd is already placing bets, although there's no way to know exactly who they're betting on.]

[they're in for a good show, at least]

Let's make it a good one, then. My tab is pretty big and I ain't payin' it.

[and without waiting for any signal, Zoro decides it's on him to make a first move, hands still held low like someone used to holding swords in those fists. It's mostly a feint, so he can judge his opponent's speed, but he'll still take a swing anyway]

That's why you're here?

[Who lets a tab get that big?

When Zoro moves in, Richter circles, just barely leaning out of the way of that swing. He doesn't plan to back off yet, though, so he returns fire with a pair of quick, light punches, trying to keep Zoro at arm's length for now.]

What?

[a pause while he takes the hits to his left arm, absorbing it fairly easily. In fact, he leads with his left, it seems odd]

Don't tell me you've never owed a debt...

[the crowd is already fired up, calling for someone to hit somebody already, so Zoro drops his guard and presses as hard and fast as he can, again with the left fist a bit wide by instinct]

Never run up a tab so high I've needed to fight to pay it.

[Richter backpedals out of the way of that punch, but he can hear the crowd yelling for blood as well, so he doesn't stay backed off for long. A second later he's moving in, swinging a hard right at Zoro's ribs.]

Heh! First time for everything.

[yeah, yeah, that's enough banter for now. Zoro turns slightly to absorb the blow, though it still thunks loud enough to be heard. That step back puts him in a prime spot to hit back, fists flying in a rapid one-two-three aimed mmostly at Richter's torso for the satisfying feel of body blows</small]

[Richter can't step back in time, and those body blows slam into his ribs, audibly thudding against him, the last one leaving him short of breath.

He doesn't back off yet, instead throwing a wild, somewhat uncoordinated swing at Zoro's jaw, trying to make him move back to give Richter room instead.]

[it's a glancing blow, but a successful one, as Zoro takes a step back to give them both room to gauge. It's not that he didn't see it coming, but he seriously underestimated this guy. Whatever strength vibes he gives off are uncertain and hard to read. He knows he needs to not be so flippant, not if he's going to get out of here without coughing up money.

He holds his hands loose and half-open, curled naturally how he would grip his swords, his left shoulder ahead. This is going to take some finesse, isn't it? He takes a couple quick, loose jabs with his less-dominant hand, looking almost like he's trying to goad Richter into taking a harder punch. The ol' "let's see what you got" tactic.]

[Richter sees the goading. He knows he shouldn't fall for it. But he was never good at not stepping into traps.

So he steps in, crowding Zoro, and swings a big, slow, heavy haymaker at his jaw. It'd be a knockout blow on most men, if it actually landed.]

[there it is. Zoro can feel this one coming and manages to get his arm up in time, taking the block full on his forearm. Whew, that's a nice one, he thinks in the split second before retaliating with a straight hook of his own, likewise aiming for the jaw. Tit for tat.]

[ info on journal; built as OC but can easily be a Rook or companion; open to any time during the franchise (origin - veilguard); open to all options including smut. trained Crow, bring it on. ]

[ info on journal; any point in timeline. open to all options. good luck. ]

[Prizefight prompt, maybe, for some kind of underground fight club?]
