Sonic RPG A - The Solarian Cipher

Babylons enemy seemed to be angered by Babylon's strategy. Someone who was as famous as Babylon, starting out with a low powered mid range attack? He was expecting more. But Babylon knew that not only did he want to win, but he also needed to give the crowd something good to watch.

His opponent ran toward him, angry. He swung for an uppercut, which was easily dodged. Babylon examined his form quickly. He seemed to be strong, but lacked proper training. His form though sturdy was somewhat off. Babylon sweep kicked his right foot, knocking him off balance.

He then concentrated energy onto his fists, making them glow brightly. His opponent flipped backwards and stood back up. He went in for a multitude of high speed punches. Babylon blocked them all with his fists, causing him damage as well.

It was here that Babylon noticed his multiple opening. He was quite strong, but as he had seen before, lacked specific training, which let Babylon take advantage of this. After weakening his fists, Babylon answered with a fist barrage of his own. The final fist landing in the center of echidnas chest. His opponent was swept backwards, out of energy. He was unable to move.

Babylon had won the match.

(Not sure if this is a good way to go, but since everyone is moving ahead of their battls, i thought i should too)

Babylon then headed for the underground.

Meanwhile

Neo was at the doors of Prime University, with his large box. Taking a break before going in.

(Oh yeah, First Post on pag 11!!!! YAY!!! =3)

11:32

Danial had trained a bit with his new weapons, which worked quite a bit like his old ones. So for the rest of his freetime, he was in the VIP section sitting with Sirvanna. He got a few eyes on the way up considering he butchered the wolf, but all he had to do was point his finger at them with a glare and they turned away in fear of him.

Danial soon found a seat and sat himself next to Sirvanna, who smothered him once she noticed him.

"I'm glad you recovered."

"Hey, easy woman. I'm supposed to be some badass fighter here. I can't do that with you hugging me."

Sirvanna grunted slightly. "Screw them, they aren't the ones fighting to the death here. Besides, every powerful warrior always needs a beautiful woman with him."

Danial sighed. "First of all, you are not my woman. Second of all, I'm not a bloodthirsty warrior, I'm a peacekeeping Assassin. Third of all, you are really egotistical."

"Fourth of all, you are going to accept it, or I'm going to do what I did last time you pissed me off."

Not wanting to go through the extreme pain again, Danial sighed and simply patted her on the back as his sign of acceptance. You can never win with this woman...

OOC: I know Danial likes to address her as woman sometimes, but it's him just being an ass.

"Hey Gladia, quite interesting indeed. Let me catch up then."

Among the various projects that had been done, aside from the J.A.S.S. which was the header of them all, mainly because it was the most recent and working, were the C.R.A.C.K., the B.R.E.A.K., and the S.H.A.K.E.

"We seriously need a better public department or someone that's a good wise-cracker." Provehito thought to himself.

The Cascading Racking Amplifying Cosmic Kick was some sort of bionic implant for...delivering powerful kicks. 

The Basically Really Electrical Amplifier Kase (such spelling) was made by some former worker of the MBU. Apparently crazy. What it did was transfer any overflow of energy through the suit itself, which connected and travelled from head to toe, grounding that excess of energy. In theory, you could be struck by lightning and have felt nothing but a huge flash. It was perfected, but eh, the first test resulted in brain damage. No one had used it then, but it didn't really mean it didn't work.

Finally the Static High Altitude Kaiser Emblem, dubbed 'the Kaiser' was basically some sort of robotic armor that allowed the weight of several things and the strength of the wind. It was meant to be used for construction sites at high altitudes, allowing someone to work without fear of being taken down by the strong winds over there. The major drawback was that a person needed help to take the suit off. And that involved someone else up there with that person or being pulled down by a crane. Either way, it wasn't comfortable.

Some other projects were there, but Provehito just skimmed through them. Projects Tails himself had done, and stuff he had never seen, but decided to not through at the moment, just get ahold of the names. 

10:30

---------

Both Eddie and Lucy launch themselves toward each other as the fight begins. Lucy is the first kick out at Eddie as the wolf blocks her with his arms. He swiftly dodges from side-to-side as Lucy's feet come down on him. Then, she swoops down for a leg kick and knocks Eddie off balance. The wolf swiftly caught himself by pushing up off the ground with his hand and landed on his feet with ease.

"You've improved the last time we sparred!" he said.

"Thanks! Let's see what you got!" Lucy said as she beckoned him with her hand.

 With a grin, Eddie came at Lucy with fists striking at her. The lioness blocked them out of the way with ease. Suddenly, she grabbed his arm and pulled him beside her as she kicked his back. Eddie yelped in pain as he stumbled across the mat. After shaking the pain off of his back, he charged at Lucy but was quick to dodge an oncoming kick. Grabbing her leg, he flipped her over as he watched her land on her back.

"Heh, now you know what that felt like," Eddie chuckled.

Lucy quickly on her feet and said, "Now that's no way to treat a lady."

Noticing her smile, he laughed and said, "We'll see about that!"

 Just then, Lucy charged at Eddie and the two grabbed each other's hands as if to push away from each other.

"Toss me out of the ring!" Lucy whispered.

"What?"

"Toss me out! Quick!"

A bit confused by this Eddie did as Lucy told him to do as he pulled her towards him. He landed on his back and pushed her up with his foot as Lucy was sent flying over the platform. She managed to land on her feet but slipped and fell.

Eddie sighed as he walked off of the mat and helped Lucy up. As they made their way to a tunnel, Eddie turned to her only to find her hugging him.

"It's good to see you again," Lucy said as she hugged him tight.

With a chuckle, he hugged back. Then, Eddie looked at the lioness and said, "I don't understand. You had as much potential to win it as I did. Yet something tells me that you and Carlos planned to have you lose to me."

"Oh," Lucy giggled, "you know you were meant to continue on. Still, it was a good fight, and it was worth it to be here."

"Well, I am glad that you're hear," Eddie said with a smile. "Come, let's go see the other fights."

 ------------

11:40

-------------

Eddie was stunned by the fight he saw of Daniel against the wolf. A part of him feared of what the human was capable of, and a part of him felt disgusted on how the fight was handled. He gripped onto a railing from where he stood in anger. Lucy looked at him and tried to calm him down by placing a hand on his. Eddie relaxed a bit as he looked at the lioness.

 "Just be glad it wasn't you in that fight," Lucy said softly.

Eddie nodded in response. He was indeed thankful that he didn't face the human. "Still," he said, "I only hope the wolf is all right."

Since PHC already TLDr'd my first day, I'll post my (hopefully) last google doc link. It has both my elaboration on what happened in my character's first day as well as the original rough plot that I chatted through with PHC. As with my character's in depth bio, its still a work in progress but the basics are all there. (I love detail...)

Fight Day

*BUZZZZZZZ*

8:00AM

"uuugggggg..." As Jim slapped his alarm panel.

The night had not been friendly to James. His late night adventure, waking up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night, only came to about four or five hours of sleep...considering the fights today, this was going to be an interesting day.

After a couple minutes, James rolled out of bed then got showered and prepped. He headed to his living room. In  the corner of the room he headed to his small desk and grasped the biometric scanner. The hidden staircase door opened and he headed down to his workshop.

On his workbench sat his new bounty, the defense mech memory core. He looked at the core and then behind him to the disabled mech on the wall.

"One day I will save you..."

He was too easily distracted, looking at his wrist computer he saw the time was 8:30. So he grabbed his BatonN and holster from the wall pegs and strapped on all of his 'Adventure Gear'. When putting on his pouch vest he felt something in one of the front pockets....

'Oh ya!' he thought, "That ring!"

Reaching into the pocket he pulls out the Red Ring he received the night previous. However, as soon as he pulls it out, he realizes it is no longer red, but translucent. Taken aback, he recalls seeing something like this before. Thinking back he remembers seeing something about a crystalline structure developed by some university types used for some kind of power management. Should still have it on my computer...after a few clicks on his wrist computer, James headed upstairs (lab door closing behind him) and heads for the transit hub.

9:30 AM

"Thankfully, the trains were repaired today..." James heard a passerby. The trip to the coliseum took substantially shorter amount of time today than it did yesterday since they finally fixed the second train to his home stop. During the ride he re-read the datasheet he had on the ring he acquired. Newton Shayron and Jasmine Ruba were the inventors and it was used to take unstable or large energy and regulate it to a specified level. James had first encountered the rings back when he was working on the Spire emitters. He was not told why they were using them, but he speculated it was to regulate the Spire power distribution, considering he had overheard a couple of the power systems engineers commenting on the need to regulate the power source. He wish he knew more about what was powering the towers.

10:00 AM

After getting through the ID check nonsense, James finally was in the basement of the coliseum to hear Newton's speech. Blah, blah, blah...nothing James hadn't read in the tourney rules. Checking his assignment, he was up to fight "Red Raven", sounds like someone has an ego problem or unusual parents...but then he also noticed up on the boards a Mr. A...yea....

Moving over the store room, he had the requisitions manager load his mech into the arena he was to be fighting in. James moved over to his arena and climbed up. "We'll see how the others like fighting with an overactive stereo." he chuckled looking down at his baton.

*Click*

10:30 AM

As soon as the whistle blew, James and his robo-buddy were ready. Red began sprinting towards James, weapon (broadsword) held in the upward-striking position and letting out a loud war-cry. James held his BatonN to the side and moved to dodge as his mecha leapt over his opponent. Red took notice and instead of striking at James, he swung up and clipped the mech's foot, causing it to fly into the railings. For a short while, James and Red parried each other's strikes, nothing that James hadn't learned from his father's training exercises. Unfortunately, in his moment of reflection Red placed a good left hook across his face knocking him to the ground. Red moved in to place a blow when thankfully Jim's mech moved in to stop the impending face-pancake-ing. It took Jim a second to recover his bearings..."Maybe I should invest in a helmet..."

He quickly moved to his feet to go help his mecha companion who was putting up a good fight but was still taking a beating. "No more messing around." James thought. He determined by the resonant frequency of the weapon that it was a steel alloy. He shifted his thoughts to his weapon where he began feeding it with the correct resonant field.

All of a sudden, his mech disengaged Red and jumped to the rim of the arena as James moved in with his BatonN that was visibly and audibly ringing. With one swift strike to his attacker's weapon, James' vibro-eskrima managed to shake the weapon out of Red's hands and flung it to the side of the arena. Quickly Red pulled out his brass-knuckles and dealt a serious blow to Jim's right arm sending him spinning.

"Alright...no more close quarters then." James concluded as he regained his footing.

James heard the cheering for the neighboring arena box (El-Len's fight).

Knowing he must be running out of time, he then prepped for his 'grand finale' by ordering his companion to get in behind Red, exposing his resonator. James jumped back and activated the sono-amplifier in his BatonN. The casing began to float around his BatonN. Red was a little confused but stood his ground.

"I hope the repair worked." *RiiiiiIIIIINNNNG POOWWWMMM* (Best onomatopoeia I can come up with...)

With a massive blast of sonic energy, everyone in the room jumped and turned their attention to James's match. However when Jim looked to where his opponent was standing, he was surprised to still see his opponent standing. Jim was confused, along with all the other onlookers. Red took this time to run up and apply a generous amount of fist to Jim's face. The very audible thud with Jim hitting the floor was more useful than he had imagined. His ears were ringing from the blow, but he felt something interesting about the floor as he hit it. It resonated like a Tungsten-Brass like material. Needing to end the fight now, he had an idea. A little trick he learned to do. With his BatonN still in hand, he retracted the eskrima portion and aimed it at the floor and placed his other hand flat on the surface. A very loud multi-tonal ringing filled the room and shook the platform. With an odd pop sound, a hole formed below Red, and he fell out of the arena. Jim's mech powered down. By the rules, James was still in the arena, and his opponent was not.

Therefore, James decided to stay where he was on the floor and wait for the ref's call...and until the room stopped spinning...

El-Len thanked the employee with a wave. "I have an hour to settle myself. I wonder if it's okay to use my twin sais for the next round..." She thought to herself.

"You can just don't be like that person who cut up that wolf." Christy told her.

El-Len blinked. "What person?"

"That fight with the overlander and the wolf before yours. Didn't you watch it?" Christy asked.

"Oh... I was meditating at that time..." El-Len scratched her head. "The sais are not all that sharp but they can hurt. I mainly don't strike with them anyways just use for defense."

"I'm thinking about using my metal Bo Staff," Christy spoke. "It's important to have your mind and weapon combined as one or---"

"Fatal conquences." El-Len finished her sentence.

"Yeah. But my Bo Staff and I will fight together as a team. Also important." Christy reminding El-Len the lesson she already has learned years ago chuckled. "Sorry you knew that since the beginning. I'm going to get something to eat. You can come if you want."

"Sure. I'll have something as well." Both walked off to where the food's at.

Out of curiosity,Glam went up to the drinks and took a sip of one of them..

*drinks*

..and so,she drank the rest of the energy drinks.Every.Single.One.

Glam fell to the floor,feeling super awake,yet in a super state of pain at the same time.But despite her pain,she picked up her guitar and played..just like yesterday.

"Must do it for the fans..and that one guy,Kyle."

11:50

Christy nearly forgotten, with a mouthful of Cheetios Puffcorn she told El-Len. "I think you'll need to talk with Newton about your sais. Just to be sure." El-Len nodded and finished her drink.

12:00

Getting through all the people and such a big place El-Len managed to find the location the director dwells.

"Um... Mr. Newton, sir? May I have permission to come in? I want your approval for using my twin sais in the next event." She glanced over at the tabby straightening up with respect and maturity as possible.

Provehito wasn't quite getting ahold of the jargon, but the situation at hand and his recent apparent hallucination of a heptagram on the unrenovated district left him confused. The strange feeling of warmth from the ring was also intriguing. "Did you feel that?" he asked Gladia.

"What?"

"Nothing, never mind it then. Pardon me. " Provehito left the room for a moment to catch his thoughts on what was being talked and what had just happened. "Magic spikes at the unrenovated district. There wasn't really anything on board, but I swear I looked like if a cluster of spires formed over there in the diagram. Interesting." He gave the train of thoughts another go, and went back inside the meeting.

12:30

Danial had actually fallen asleep in his seat, due to being tired from all the wounds he had, and due to just being lazy. What ever fight was going on below he apparently wasn't interested in enough to stay awake. Sirvanna was kind of half watching. Part of her was watching the fight below her, part of her was cuddling up to Danial, who was unaware she was on him. She'll remind him of his fight when it comes time to head out.

Weekends are paying bills, family fun, and video games. :P

@barren - Heh. Let me know these things. I want to make sure everyone has something to do. I'll move my plans up on the timeline to unblock you here in a bit.sonicphc

***************************

i hate it that whenever something gets exiting my internet shuts down. Sorry about that guys, you must be thinking im doing this on purpose!! :D

But im back up. What does Babylon need to answer?

**************************

El-Len nodded as she understood Newton, gave him a farewell bow, and headed off to the machine room.

12:10

Once there El-Len explained to a crimson turtle about the twin sais she has and Newton's permission to have them blunted. With care she put them in the box the turtle handed over to her but El-Len wanted to tell him how important they are.

"If you could, sir, please treat them with respect. They're...very delicate to me... They were past down by my family for generations... Please." She spoke as politely as ever. The turtle just harshly dropped the box in the machine. El-Len let out a quiet shriek as the machine roughly did it's progress. Afterwards, the turtle gave her the identical sais. Her face was depressing how he didn't listened to her plea. Staring at the turtle, she then notice something about him. Though he was looking away, El-Len waved to him and pointed at her (very tiny) ear.

"Are you deaf?" El-Len moved her lips slowly so he can read them. He signed "yes."

El-Len made an "oh" expression and gave her sign lanuage a try. She explained what she said to him about her sais and he gasped in shock. He signed, "So sorry. I didn't know. I thought you said 'hurry up so I can get on with my fight.' Sorry again for that."

El-Len signed, "It's okay. People still mistaken a deaf for hearing, huh?"

He nodded and signed, "You should get back and don't worry. I'll keep a vigilant eye on your weapons. You can count on me."

El-Len signed a "thank you" and turned to head out but stopped. She signed back to the turtle, "What's your name?"

He finger spelled it as Sawyer. Both waved good-bye.

12:30

Fifthteen more minutes til the next rumble. El-Len waited.

I can't believe Danial has been sleeping all this time.

---------------------------

12:37

Danial had awoken when Sirvanna started nibbling on his ear. Not wanting to experience that, he had started walking around the area, leaving her to pout in her seat. As he walked about, he noticed a chameleon appearing to be waiting for the next group of fighters to smack each other down. Feeling formal for some odd reason, he approached her.

"Greetings, I am...Mr A. I guess, for some odd reason. I didn't come up with the name, they gave it to me. Don't ask. Anyway, I see that you've gotten past your first fight. While I didn't see it, I can tell from your form that you are no normal fighter."

Whoops! A tad behind on my posting. ^^; I'll fix that. Anyway, nothing much goes on with Eddie and Lucy. They pretty much catch up on what have been going on in their lives so far. Nothing major.

12:35

---------

Eddie looked at the board and saw who his next opponent was.

"Well," he said, "it looks like it's almost time for me to go up once again."

"Do be careful," Lucy said as she hugged him.

"Heh, I will," he said as he made his way to the battle arena.

Okay, he thought to himself. Let's see who this James is. 

12:36

------

Danial had begun to enter his arena. As he walked over, he could hear Sirvanna shouting at him to come back alive. Apparently she hasn't figured out there's no killing allowed, but it's nice she cares. Maybe a bit too much. Regardless, Danial looked over at his foe, looking at him as if he was trying to scan his entire person for certain signs.

So many James, this could really get confusing soon. AKA, I misread the above post... I'd post something involving Lenny talking to Newton, but I'll wait and see if he can actually make it to his box this time, as I doubt he will.barren167

 James sat on the floor for a second after hearing the referees finally stating the result.

"Awesome, now I get to keep getting my face pounded in...maybe I should have waited for the mecha or magic fights..." James thought to himself.

His mech came over and helped him up off the floor and they headed to the infirmary.

The medic was not too busy as it was only the first round. He patched up the small cuts on James's face.

"So I saw the end of your first round, what the heck was that explosion?" The medic asked.

"Oh, it was a resonant pressure blast. I manipulated the surrounding air to create a standing wave between my mech and myself...although it didn't really work."

The medic blankly stared back, then replied: "Well...sure made quite a bang, I could hear it from in here." The medic continued to administer to James's small wounds.

For a moment James thought about what went wrong in comparison to yesterdays try out..."For that round, the test mech essentially disintegrated, yet this fight my opponent was completely unharmed..." he thought, then it hit him. "Oh!" he exclaimed out loud, "Yesterday my mech's resonator was malfunctioning, therefore making its sonic emission slightly out of tune with my projections creating a high frequency beat pattern which was a higher harmonic of the mech's structural resonant frequency which shook all of the bolts loose!"

"I didn't understand a word of that, but sounds interesting." The medic said as he finished with the last small bandage.

"Oh, ha, sorry I was thinking out loud." James replied as he jumped off the examination table. "Thanks for the fix up!"

James had intended to project an in-tune sonic resonance with his mech such that his opponent was exactly at the highest magnitude peak of the standing wave of sound, however what actually happened is that his opponent this afternoon was standing exactly at the point of lowest intensity (the null), hence the large bang for so little result.

"Alright, now I know what to do." James mumbled to himself as he headed to the workshop to quickly "Break" his mech a little bit to reproduce the previous day's result.

On his way he noticed he was facing Eddie. "Probably should look up the info on his fight...I hope he's not another melee person..." As he rubbed his rather sore face.

Babylon stopped to answer the question he was asked. he was not worried about the crowd not going wild, after all as long as they paid to be there was money being raised, he was cool.

"This ring? I got it in a box along with my invitation to the tournament. Why whats wrong?"

12:45

It begins now. El-Len gripped her "fake" sais and approached her opponent; a human goes by the name Isaac. Just by a short glance she knew that he has great experience. A little nervous of such presence but this is just sports. Doesn't really matter if she wins or loses just innocent combat. Though that feeling tells her Isaac is going to claim the victory on this one.
