Unity vs. Virgil Layman

DUREM CLOCKTOWER: CLOCKFACE

After the previous season, efforts were made to refurnish the classic clockface. Unfortunately, a bunch of half-demons and rafter-lurking vampires demolished it in a city brawl, and the clockface has once more been relegated to the inside of the tower for storage and repair.

Terrain

General: The clcokface is a 200' diameter disc of steel and wood that lays flat on its face in the topmost portion of the Durem Clocktower. Set into the center of the face is a 15' tall, 10' wide pillar of steel, on which the hour and minute hands are mounted. The minute hand is long enough to stretch across half of the clock's face, while the hour hand is only 1/4th as long. The second hand is broken and lays on the ground. The clockface is cracked and scorched in some places.

Weapons: The second hand is a 15' length of wood that could be used as a spear. The numbers are loose and each is roughly 3' tall, weighing approximately 50 pounds. The hour hand sits approximately 4' from the ground, and the minute is 7' from the clockface.

Bonus Features: A fighter can easily budge the hour hand by pushing it with their body or with a supernatural ability. If a fighter activates the gears via a control panel on the central pillar, the minute hand will begin to spin. While it is too high to hurt someone, it will create a powerful wind effect that can disrupt flying fighters and throw ranged projectiles off balance.

The sound of a old rickety door giving way could be heard in the otherwise near dead stillness of the Durem clock tower's innards. Presumably from a service entry; a lanky yet mildly imposing figure had made his way out onto the clock face at a leisurely stroll. Standing at six foot five with a wild main of unruly black hair was the shinobi that Unity intended to ambush. Unfortunately for Virgil he was quite unaware of his opponent's capacity to blend in seamlessly with her environment, or her unnatural affinity for stealth. All the same, the willowy ninja wore a long dark haori that was strapped across his waist with a utility belt of sorts. That of which had a Wakizashi and Jitte dangling in tandem at the left hip. Not to mention it was lined with elongated pouches. Otherwise, Underneath virgil just wore a simple dark long sleeved tunic, shinobi trousers, and those ugly god awful open toed boots along with foot wrappings... All the same, the ninja was under the pretenses that he was here alone when he casually made his way past the large center pillar. While he noticed the control panel, he had no such interest in finding out whether or not the technology worked in here. His experience in past tournaments left him with a very simple lesson: 'Don't touch things you don't understand if you can help it.' He would only make it so far along the clock however, before deciding he was indeed alone and turning about rather casually so he might make his way to a certain spot. Once there he would cross his arms and keep watch on the service entry he had entered from. His position was roughly the #6 numeral on the clock's face, Albeit he was fully giving his back to a thief in hiding unwittingly...

The real question here was: How would Unity fare at ambushing an honest to goodness flipping ninjer?

To say he heard it wasn't entirely accurate. No. It was the oddest displacement in the floor at first, followed by a much larger object that was quite all too suddenly mid-flight. It wasn't just the fact an object was in flight. It was the all too familiar feeling of encroaching danger. And also a little bit of that sharp whistle of a incoming weapon splitting the air. Virgil didn't turn around, but instead opted to kick off his right leg to slide off to his own left at something like twenty two feet per second. The sheer lack of build up to such an uncanny speed would leave something of an afterimage to be impaled on her spear. Meanwhile; Virgil would have only dodged roughly three to four feet to his own left, and in doing so he didn't escape unscathed... There was ripped fabric and a grazing yet freshly opened wound across the ninja's right* rib section following that upward trajectory of the angle of attack. Despite this, he'd spin about nigh instantly in an attempt to lay eyes upon his attacker.

show spoilerhide spoilerAgility: Can reach a maximum run speed of forty four feet per second (30 mph) with a build up of roughly three sprinting steps. Can reach a 'dash' speed of 22 feet per second (15 mph) within one powerful step.

(Writers notes: -Maximum running speed is full and total dedication to running. Nothing else. No course changes. No re-directions without serious consequence, and no ability to stop on a dime Naruto style.

• Where as 'Dash' speed is more like the 'comfortable maximum combat speed' This is how quickly Virgil can safely advance/dodge with almost no build up, and with control over his ability to maneuver and re-direct as soon as he plants his other foot.)

Super human Dexterity: This is encompassed by machine like foot work, uncanny hand eye coordination, cat like balance, Incredibly quick thought processing capability, heightened reaction time, and impressive raw agility. Additionally: He can See fast visually keep up with speeds that would otherwise outrun the frame rate intake of the eye. This is a combination of his actual visual reflexes, and his brains processing power in regards to it's frame rate intake. Additionally, this is a subconscious reaction to his own intuition when eminent danger is encroaching. (despite being able to keep up visually, he cannot always physically react to what he's seeing in the heat of the moment. Having the visual prowess, and having the physical prowess are two very different things.)

'No one's there... No.'

While the ninja had turned about, he had instinctively drawn his left hand down to the heavy handle of the Jitte at his left hip to take up the weapon. Where as his right would have moved up to hang defensively in the air between his body and any further possible dangerous projectiles while he coiled his stance down and spread either leg out.

"Someone is hiding..."

Perhaps to Unity's dismay the shinobi knew this game all too well, and now that he knew what they were playing; he was more than eager to test his would be hunter. Less noticeably, beneath the surface of that mortal vessel the ninja was churning and pumping Ki through his body. Prepared to explode into action should he need to deflect another 'surprise spear' from lord knew where. For now the Ninja would just hone his Ki and his senses while allowing that scrutinizing gaze to have another pass over the darkness near where he guessed the source of the attack would have originated...Was it near that control panel?

By now Virgil was in a state of alert jumpy enough to punch out a shadow if it twitched wrong, so even the distortion behind him in the darkness didn't go unnoticed. Not just the muted existence of a body that entered the scene, but the faintest nearly inaudible sound of blades cutting a path through dusty stale air. The willowy ninjer half expected his opponent to emerge from behind him at any rate, because that was just the cliche. 'But his reaction time and awareness of the situation was demonstrated when his lanky yet powerful left leg shot backwards like an angry piston in order to catch Unity in the chest, or worse yet: that pretty face. Despite rolling in low as she was doing, she would have needed her body in a certain position in order to aim and facilitate the strikes for her initial attack. Regardless, Virgil needed to sweep upward from the ground anyways due to his sloppy stance, ensuring that his donkey kick would slam his target's general center mass in some form during it's trajectory. With likely more than enough force to break bones and fling her tumbling backwards from the uncanny strength that one of his legs could generate on such short notice.

show spoilerhide spoilerStriking power: Virgil's heaviest punch weighs in at 1,000 foot pounds, or 1,355 joules. Virgil's heaviest kick is roughly double that (2,500 Joules)

Maybe she could still manage to stab into the outstretched limb if she were skilled enough to slip the blow, or in an awkward scenario; like still conscious from impact and stuck on the heel? 'But that would have to come after dealing with that huge angry ninja boot and the force it was generating. Because Virgil would strike swiftly well before he even knew who or what he was lashing out at in the current state of affairs.

It took no time at all to cast his gaze over his shoulder before turning on his heel to face his opponent. By now, Ki was flooding the shinobi's body in it's entirety, allowing him access to the fullest spectrum of his abilities. Granted he didn't have much time to fully assess the success of his attack, because the armored maiden would be back on her feet in no time, exhibiting uncanny durability for having eaten that blow upfront with little to no shock to show for the endeavor. Virgil would have expected no less from a contender in this bloody tournament. Though he certainly wouldn't have expected to see what might have otherwise been mistaken for a delicate flower... Perhaps she was more of an iron bramble patch type of woman?

> The blades in her hands shifted as she hefted them, the blades retracting oddly, then suddenly blossoming with length as she turned them outward, resembling swords rather than any dagger. With deliberate action the rogue launched into motion, dashing towards the man. Though not as fast as Virgil, she didn't have much distance to cover. On her last step of the left leg, she dipped down slightly, lending the next step a leaping twist to the right, her right arm drawing back Contrast for a downward stab above the collarbone. > > > > But this was cleverly hidden feint, for as her body rotated and her right arm thrust downwards, the length of the blade would make visual contact but touched the ninja not, instead allowing her to flip the rest of her body over the axis of her hips, and bring her left heel whipping around in great sweeping arc from the right to hit the jaw on the edge of her steel sole, before landing solidly on her right foot, bouncing back promptly for a follow-up strike perhaps from the left hand, rotated back and out to maintain balance.

Virgil would have intuitively taken a step backwards to dance out of the path of that blade as it shot down into what he perceived as an attempted stab. He wasn't idle in doing so however, even as Unity leaped into action, the shinobi would deftly draw the jitte from his left hip in a reverse left hand grip. No sooner would the steel length of baton come into play than it would be drawn to a horizontal defensive position across Virgil's front. Or more specifically placed between both parties, as if to stop the blade from swinging into his position from the front. Little did the ninja know until that sudden torque in positioning what she really had in mind... He would demonstrate some of that uncanny hand eye coordination when he managed to slip the Jitte up beside the left side of his head just in time for impact. If not for the left hand shooting up to brace his right wrist, he might have slammed his own weapon into his face when the kick pounded off the length of his Jitte mercilessly, yet Virgil only reeled with the motion and grit his teeth in response to the force.

The blow itself caused Virgil to rock hard while twisting slightly to his right. The force that reverberated through his weapon, hands, and forearms stung down into the bone. Yet all he knew in regards to that was how to swallow that feeling, so it might be drown in the depths of the sea of his resolve. Either way, Virgil was quick to spin appropriately and straighten up his position in order to square off with his opponent. The Jitte fist and the right hand would both raise up into something of a lose guard in front of the ninja's face. As spry as she was, this heavy armor rogue would offer no reprieve in the wake of a succesfull strike, or so the shinobi felt...

As per his character, or lack there of; Virgil was utterly stoic if not intensely focused on this engagement. The slightest clatter of his short sword hanging at his hip along with the jingle jangle of his ninja tools in various pouches would accent each step and movement that was taken in response to the acrobatic flourish.

> Having recovered the kick with a backward step of her left leg, she swung it forward now along with the arm, the black obsidian of Blur shimmering with the lancing glow of another light blade far under the shinobi's guard, aiming for the upper abdomen. The hard light bridged the distance the weapon could not, suddenly and with punishing intent.

Virgil would squint momentarily in the glow while taking a hasty step backwards to match the pace of his opponent's advance, if not solely for comfort's sake. In doing so he would merely twist his left hand's wrist before tugging harshly to his own left at the appropriate time. While she may have slipped below those raised hands, the reverse grip of the Jitte ensured that the weapon's length of steel reached down across Virgil's torso. Enough so to catch and deflect the blow off to his own left due to the evasive maneuvers employed in tandem with the hook and sweep technique.

Beyond the simple defensive posturing that was obvious and noticeable, underneath the surface; Virgil's energy flared as it funneled through his body with sudden directive. On a whim he could draw a mass of his Ki to his left hand, as he was intent on doing currently while holding off this precise and dynamic assault.

> As she went, she tipped her balance forward onto the toe of the steel-shod boot, her hand slipping around the grip of the left dagger a moment and whipping her right leg about clockwise like a ballet dancer, using her extended left as the fulcrum of a forceful spinning strike of her right hand. With Contrast edge on, coming in from the outside line of Virgil's right, the dagger appeared suddenly far shorter than it should, but it's true tip ripped the air just far forward enough to score across the back of her opponent's right wrist and fist an inch or two deep.

**Even as the Jitte was twisted and tugged off to Virgil's left to perform that sweep, he would suddenly shoot his left hand back up into position while twisting his body back and to his right with not but a simple step. In process of maneuvering he perform a quick flourish of his weapon, only so he could catch the Jitte in a standard grip nigh moments prior to catching the incoming strike between the 'Kagi' and the 'Boshin'. Or in colloquial terms: between that single prong and the shaft of his baton.**

On the one hand, this would allow Virgil to lock up for a single moment while halting his opponent's movement with his own incredible strength. On the other hand, well; the other hand was literally flaring with green ethereal energy that created the slightest audible sound. Something similar to what a torch might put off. **However there wasn't much time to dwell on this in the heat of the moment. Virgil would only halt her motion so he could suddenly torque back to his left and throw a green glowing fist of energy into his opponent's with his right fist. 'Aimed directly within the window of opportunity that was being created by pausing the flow of her motion. The resulting wave of kinetic energy that erupted off that fist would expand into a massive four by four foot vaguely conish shaped wave that traveled at almost one hundred and fifty feet per second. That of which did literally no damage upon impact, but would rather fling even a four hundred pound contender like a rag doll for no less than ten feet in distance. The main source of damage within this technique was usually the merciless tumble that anybody would suffer upon being spontaneously Displaced in such unsuspecting fashion.**

show spoilerhide spoiler[Ooc: There are two versions of this spell, I've wrote in twice about getting the ability fixed to the clarified version, but so far no response... Either way, here are both versions.]

[Take 1]

Displace: A blast of Ki delivered from the fist with little more than a metaphysical flex. The result is a rapidly expanding cone of green energy that reaches nearly four by four feet in square diameter. This wave travels off the fist at (102 mph). This wave is capable of flinging opponents (underneath the 400 lb weight limit, capable of flinging a 400 pound individual no shorter than ten feet). Additionally the technique itself causes little to no damage short of what is sustained during the tumble.

[Charge time: 1-2 seconds (nigh instant)/ Maximum travel distance (of wave): 15 feet/ Cool down: 3 posts]

[Take 2 AKA the clarified version.]

Displace: A blast of Ki delivered from the fist with little more than a metaphysical flex. The result is a rapidly expanding pyramid (Or vaguely cone like shape) of green energy that reaches nearly four by four feet in width and height, centered from the fist's position itself. This wave travels off the fist at (102 mph) and is roughly four feet long. This wave is capable of flinging opponents up to 400 lbs. Additionally the technique itself causes little to no damage short of what is sustained during the tumble.

(Writers note: The energy attack forms and expands during the fist's travel time during the punch, and the effect itself explodes off the fist in it's fullest form at the point of the punches fullest extension.

400 lbs maximum weight limit, capable of flinging a 400 pound individual no shorter than ten feet)

[Charge time: 1-2 seconds (nigh instant)/ Maximum travel distance (of wave): 15 feet/ Cool down: 3 posts]

[So basically the ability does the same thing either way; but I dunno what to say about the way it's worded on that older version of the profile. I definitely think the second written version is more clear in what is happening exactly.]

It seemed that Virgil needed some space to breath, and he aimed to snatch it ruthlessly from the jaws of the proverbial lion.

Usually Displace just sent people tumbling for a good distance from a bit of heavy kinetic transference, not unlike being hit by an unusually powerful gust of wind. Still, whatever kind of shadow trickery was in the works, Virgil had no intentions of standing idly in the first place. From the moment his opponent had been displaced, the shinobi would have began moving to converge upon the location he assumed the tumble to end. In this case near the wall. He didn't make it far however, because that was where his opponent vanished briefly. Only to re-emerge with all the dangerous grace he was coming to expect from this Wiley vixen. Her acrobatic flip and extension of her legs for that kick would meet a raised outstretched left hand to block. More specifically, a small orb of green energy would coalesce there between both parties on Virgil's palm. That of which would absorb the force from her kick during compression, only to pop, and in turn refract back the exact same force in exactly the opposite direction.

While the ninja had no doubt that she was graceful enough to find her footing upon the wall should she need to, he was more keen to follow this up with something else. No sooner would he fling his opponent for a second time than a second flare of energy would erupt bright emerald green in the dimly lit clock tower. That was mid-throw of his Jitte however, as Virgil was intent on releasing his baton to shoot forward like an arrow on a follow up trajectory. That of which was intent on slamming into Unity's position at roughly the same moment as her impact with the wall. More interestingly, there would be a fairly thin gleaming green tether of energy attached to the weapon.

This length of rope is capable of adhering to sheer surfaces, inanimate objects, or opponents. Additionally, the length can be fed slack or retracted at will into the point of creation. Despite being a Ki energy construct, the length of rope is susceptible to being cut like it's material counter part.

This gave Virgil the new dynamic of having the option to reel the weapon back into his grasp success or failure, which he was intent on doing. 'Apparently it was time for 'Chain and Jitte' style.

Well this was a surprising turn of events. Albeit Virgil still had that 'Incredibly quick thought processing capability, heightened reaction time, and the over clocked frame rate intake' on his side. Which translated to him being able to clearly see and figure out exactly what Unity was attempting to do within the after math of kicking off/being kicked off of the kinetic orb. While the shinobi didn't really have enough time to dodge or maneuver out of the way, he did have another trick up his sleeve that would suffice for the time being. A metaphysical flex was all it took, and a metaphysical flex could happen as quickly as a synapse fires through the brain. Within that time, Virgil re-directed the flow of his Ki. Which would reach out nigh instantly from the soles of his feet to adhere quite soundly to the clock's face through a constant flow of inward pulling energy. 'Not unlike artificial magnetism in the end.

Tree Climbing: Utilizing Water Walking, but with a reversed strengthened flow, the user can adhere to sheer surfaces, or hang totally upside down.

(These techniques require minimal focus, however they block off the ability to Cast spells since the flow of energy is being diverted to a different task. (Cannot cast while sticking to things))

-Laying her out at her opponent's feet since she literally couldn't complete the flip. While Virgil wasn't trying to run up a wall, or walk along a ceiling, the energy adhesion created by 'Tree Climbing' would still take to the same effect of anchoring him down to the surface of the clock's face. Unity would probably slam her head back down when her arms failed to rise up further than ground level... The energy adhesion being employed would only be held long enough to stifle his opponent's movement. 'Because no sooner would her maneuver fail than Virgil would aim to capitalize on the window of opportunity left literally splayed out before him. A flare of emerald green energy would occur between his palm and the jitte in his right hand even as he swung the weapon downward with brutal force. Only so it could be released on a straight shot path trajectory to slam tip first into Unity's exposed chest region. More specifically, that flaring of green energy between the palm and the object would ultimately be revealed as a fairly thin energy construct roughly shaped like a climbing rope. 'That of which would extend from the palm of the right hand to the baton.

It seemed as though the Shinobi would not be moved, and 'Chain and Jitte' style was not so easily avoided...

[Location: Durem/ Specifics: The Clock Tower/ Company: Unity]

Why would the Jitte clatter down beside her position if he literally had a handi-dandy variable grappling hook of energy attached to it? Unless that tether wasn't connected to the Jitte anymore... Oh. Shit. Unity apparently missed that fact while scooting back and taking a stab at Virgil's ankles. But the 'Tether' had swapped it's adhesion target, instead switching to sticking quite impossibly to her armor itself just below her bosom near where the weapon had rolled off. With a quick hop Virgil would expend minimal effort in stomping down atop either wrist that suddenly shot underneath his positions all too predictably. This left him standing on Unity's wrists, with a retractable Tether attached to the solar plexus of her armor... Arguably a much worse position than before, regardless of where she managed to shift her legs.

Rather than reeling in the Jitte, Virgil would give a violent pull of his right hand back beside his face, while simultaneously reeling in the 'Tether' as rapidly as possible into his palm. Done so he could wretch Unity's body off the floor to fling her legs skyward. Only so that left fist could drive forward into her stomach with enough follow through to slam her back down to the ground before she could even curse. In other words, the shinobi would aim to perform all these maneuvers as fluently as possible to give his opponent as little wiggle room as he could manage.

show spoilerhide spoilerStriking power: Virgil's heaviest punch weighs in at 1,000 foot pounds, or 1,355 joules. Virgil's heaviest kick is roughly double that (2,500 Joules)

If something didn't change soon, Virgil was just going to use Unity as potentially the worlds first cross between a Yo-Yo and a Punching Bag.

Virgil Layman

[Location: Durem/ Specifics: The Clock Tower/ Company: Unity]

So with the intentions of curling up against Virgil, Unity had forgotten a very key factor in the equation. There was a physical tether between both parties, attached to the right hand that was lifted and outstretched slightly in front of the shinobi's position. While Virgil may have pulled his hand up beside his face to facilitate the initial tug; he could reel the construct into the point of creation with little more than a metaphysical flex. So naturally he would ultimately have to outstretch his arm to facilitate drawing his opponent into striking range, which was away from his body...When those knees reached up to touch under his arms for as brief as they may have liked, they could not. Because Virgil's arm outstretched the reach of her knees, and subsequently her feet. With her upper body trapped beneath Virgil, and her lower body basically just pressed against the tether: she was all but stretched out at the mercy of the ninja. 'This would off set her positioning by a large margin. 'Large enough for her to basically just form her construct in thin air while catching that swift left straight to the gut. If nothing else, Unity still managed to blind Virgil for a split second in the after math thanks to forming a glowing construct directly in front of in his face.

He wouldn't have been able to see the fact that his opponent retreated back into the shadows yet again; but he could guess as much when he heard no impact from the clock's face below... Where as their brand new handy dandy lantern brick would be pulled away and chucked in accordance with her motion due to the most adorable little foot handles. Snazzy touch. One could probably string that thing up for parties if it didn't weigh so damn much... 'Since Virgil had not simply sank into the portal created along with his opponent; it was safe to assume his Jitte would remain nearby where it was dropped. 'That of which would be scooped up while he adjusted to the new light source and rose to his feet. Only so he could turn on his heel to sweep the arena visually for his opponent. However; it wasn't what he saw, but what he heard that drew his attention...The faintest clatter of armor, and what sounded like dry heaves. They came from above. The hour hand... Without really thinking about it; the shinobi would take two swift steps; the second of which would put him into range. Done so he would slam his left shin into the center beam of the clock's face as hard as he possibly could. The bone could take the stress due to countless years of calcification, he was confident in his striking training and resilience. The steel beam however was attached to the hour hand; that of which would shake violently in reaction to the uncanny force that Virgil generated and sent rattling up the structure.
