THE (june) 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.

[up for any combination of 1, 5, 8, 10. can even do something random/original.]

[any combo of 2, 5, 6, 10 or random/original]

( no 7/12 otherwise come @ me!! )

Asura is somewhere between the devil and a Looney Tune, so I'm open to seriousness or silliness.

[ Pass on 2-4 + 12; prefer wildcards and PvE or PvP turned into PvE (mistaken identities, change of heart, whatever). ]

[ punches in for this ]

[ *kicks in for it ]

[ I can play him from the movie or the games. ]

[He's done..all of these time and time again, but really only interested in 10 or a sexy spar in 5. Clothing damage a plus!

Newly made journal stuff here!

The ladies of his anime are exquisite and would be swell to see, but cross-canon is also fine, of course.]

[pre series, just escaped Angelville.

leaning towards bar brawl]

[Prizefighter in canon, so 4 seems likely.]

[ In accordance with Homer’s Iliad, by default Achilles is just a kickass fighter as opposed to being actually invincible. Let me know if you’d prefer to go the “heel is his only weak point” route. ]

[Hand-to-hand prizefight for these two, maybe? It's easy enough to AU Archie as an Ancient Greek, or we could AU a modern Achilles, whichever you prefer.]

[ Hell yeah! Definitely feeling Ancient Greece AU, if you’re down for that. ]

[Nice! Okay, hopefully this starter works, let me know if anything needs changing.]

[The Pankration tournament had been an impromptu, hastily organized affair, a way of keeping the soldiers entertained and morale up during a prolonged period of being barracked in a backwater town in the middle of nowhere. The town had a small fighting pit, its walls high and wooden and its bottom covered in sand, where the tournament was taking place.

Archie hadn't intended to get roped into it. The only reason he was there was because his unit's fighter had been injured, and he'd been drafted in as a replacement for the semi-finals. Learning that Achilles would be his opponent hadn't made him feel any better about that.

Still, he wasn't planning on backing out. As the time for his match came, he hopped down into the pit, barefoot and barechested in a loose, cloth skirt, rolling out his shoulders as he waited.]

[ Achilles rarely spars with his men. He is goddess-born, a finer warrior than even Diomedes; even his own Myrmidons pose little challenge. Still, he has not seen battle since the Achaeans arrived in this tiny town, and the drudgery has him restless and antsy; he snaps at Patroclus, and finds it harder to reign in his temper around Agamemnon. As soon as he hears about the tournament, he signs up, aching for any sort of fight.

It is exactly as dull as he had expected, his opponents fierce fighters in their own rights but not able to hold a candle to Achilles’ strength and speed, but it is better than nothing. He holds back, his blows bruising rather than lethal, and with every fight he can feel his nerves settling.

He’s almost relaxed, when the time comes for the semifinals. His opponents have grown increasingly better as the tournament goes on, and he’s sent up a prayer in hopes of perhaps even being challenged. There’s a spring in his step as he enters the pit where the fights have been held, the man who must be his opponent for this round already waiting for him. Not someone he knows, he determines, or at least not someone he knows well enough to recognize. ]

Hello! I am Achilles. [ Probably a needless introduction — most of the Achaeans know who he is — but he is in a good mood, and with his good mood comes politeness. ]

[Well, at least Achilles seems to be in a good mood. That's probably better than facing him in a bad mood.]

Archie. Let's, er -- let's have a good fight.

[He says it a little lamely. He honestly wasn't expecting to converse with anyone here, and he's honestly never expected to be conversing with Achilles basically ever. Politeness was extended, though, so he should be polite in return.

He scuffs his feet in the sand, lifting his fists as the fight is announced. As the order is given to begin, he sets his feet apart and holds his ground, waiting for Achilles instead of jumping in.]

Well. Good luck.

[ He sets the other man’s name — Archie — aside for later, though there’s a good chance he’ll forget it. Achilles isn’t good with names. Luckily, he isn’t here to learn names.

There’s a ring drawn in the dirt around the edge of the pit. Achilles takes a step back towards it, keeping a careful eye on Archie. He can’t cross the line; according to the rules of this fight, that forfeits the victory. He doesn’t think that Archie will push him back over it, though, so he doesn’t pay it too much mind.

It seems that Archie isn’t going to make the first move. Achilles usually would let his opponent get the first blow, but it seems that he will have to take first blood in this particular fight. He dashes forward, moving to flip Archie over his hip onto the ground. ]

[ She's not much of a physically strong combatant but she can hold her own. ]
