Your person vs a Luthorian highlander in melee combat

Postby The Anglo-Saxon Empire » Sat Mar 19, 2011 5:35 pm

People from the Luthorian Southern Highlands are massive people, who have through centuries of warfare with the Luthorian empire and each other developed a culture and style of warfare that makes them natural and aggressive warriors. Several martial arts and weapons exist to take advantage of their superior size and strength and use them to tear opponents apart, metaphorically, or literally. How would your soldier or professional fighter fare against them in one on one combat, relying on nothing but knives, swords, spears, bayonets, clubs, axes, and of course their bare hands?

Gender: Male

grey eyes and blond hair as for body shape so am I somewhat muscular but still not looking as one of those moving mountains of muscles you sometimes see on those travelling freak shows, after all you can't stick out too much in my line of work.
Height: 192cm
Weight: 78 kg
Background (experience): I have during my life first studied in various schools run by both the royal guard and the royal military advisory to study to a officer but I decided to turn down that career in advantage of becoming a gentleman adventurer instead.

General Description (appearance, build etc.): Like This

Height: 15ft
Weight: 520 lb
Background (experience): Being a Tetramand, he grew up on the planet Khoros, which is a desert wasteland ruled by tribes of Tetramands ruled by Warlords. The Tetramand chosen to be given the power of Ultimate was chosen because he ruled the largest tribe on all of Khoros. When given the power of Ultimate, he became the strongest Evolution of the Tetramand race. His strength has increased twenty-fold and he now has fin on his back which is used as a cooling system, so he can fight longer.
Weapons (no guns, tasers, bows or other ranged weapons): 4 oversized Katanas (One for each hand)
Additional Information (any fighting styles they know (if you make one up include a short description), anything else that might give them the edge): His skin is nearly impenetrable.
Why I should care about your guy (I will choose who to write about based on favoritism, bribes, and interest): Because he could be quiet the challenge to Mister Highlander. Also, we're betting 2,000 USD on him.

Only choosing you first because I find a cross between a giant redneck and a scotsman vs a large japanese man funny.

As he ventured through the dense forest looking for any wild animals kill the highlander noticed a large Japanese male trudging through the woods. Having no qualms against consuming human flesh the barbarian raised his hunting rifle and pulled the trigger, however, instead of hearing an exposition and seeing the Japanese man drop, he only heard a click. Enraged at the failure of this unreliable, decadent technology, the highlander drew his great sword and silently approached the Japanese man, so as not to scare him off. When he was finally within charging distance, he noticed his prey draw its sword, deciding that his victim was more willing to fight than flee he let out an animalistic roar and charged his victim.

The instant Akira heard the terrifying roar he turned towards his attacker, dodging his blow and slashing at him, feeling his blade connect with flesh. Turning around, Akira was petrified to see the giant charging at him again, despite having a chunk cut out of his left arm. Before Akira could land another blow on the incoming highlander his sword was grabbed at the hilt by the savage's wounded arm. The highlander drew back his fist and struck Akira in the face, sending him staggering back several feet, breaking his nose, and nearly causing him to black out. As Akira stumbled to get up he noticed the highlander examining his Katana, swinging it around a little before tossing it carelessly over his shoulder. Desperate to kill the savage before he could prepare himself again, Akira drew his Wakizashi and struggling to remain conscious, silently charged the highlander, who turned just in time to be stabbed through his side.

With his working arm, the highlander drew his knife and stabbed Akira in the side, leaving the knife embedded in him so he could strangle his victim. Being versed in several local martial arts, the highlander was able to instantly cut off blood flow to Akira's head and air flow to his lungs. In only a few seconds, Akira passed out from lack of oxygen. Releasing his neck, the highlander drew the the Wakizashi embedded in his torso and stabbed it into the face of his unconscious victim. Tired and bloodied, he used his sword to hack his victim in half and carry away the top part, too weak to carry the whole thing.

End result Highlander Victory
Highlander: Seriously wounded possibly fatally
Akira Solom: Killed

Hey Angelo there is a DW thing starting if you want the Highlander to be in it, he might face my Hoplite and that might end up in a awesome battle to the end.

Meh, I am going to have them fight in a stadium because I can and your guy won't be able to move at all in a forest.

Stepping through the stadium gate, the highlander noticed his opponent, a giant for armed beast with several spikes and four arms. Drawing his sword, the highlander examined his opponent, slowly walking around to see any possible weaknesses until he was interrupted by his opponent charging him. Quickly the highlander sprinted at the beast remaining as low as he could, he desperately attempted to dodged the several swords his opponent was carrying, suffering several severe lacerations and losing his his lower right arm. The highlander, seeing an opening dove between his opponent's legs and grappling one with his left hand and placing his right foot in front of the beast he shoved forward, knocking the monster over. Drawing his knife he stabbed the monster in the back and was stunned to have his knife fail to penetrate the monster's skin. As the beast rose to its feet he dropped his knife and jumped onto the beast, attempting to strangle it with his right stump while he gouged at its eyes with his left hand.

Desperate to get the aggressive human off him, the monster attempted to peel him off with his hands, and stab him with his swords, but the human wouldn't release his grip. Deciding that he wasn't making any progress, the highlander grabbed his last weapon, and using the nail remover of his hammer he hacked into the eye of the monster and popped the eye out. Finally, the giant jumped as high into the air and fell onto his back as hard as he could, yet the highlander still held on. Feeling his strength fading, the highlander used the last of his energy to smash the hammer into one the monster's remaining eyes, popping it out hand crushing it in his hand before falling to the ground.

Angered and exhausted the Ultimate Tetramand raised his leg and stomped the dying highlander into the ground, killing him outright.

End result Ultimate Tetramand Victory
Highlander: Killed
Ultimate Tetramand: Injured, blind in two eyes, minor bruises

Name: Terus Markom
Age: 32
Gender: Male
General Description (appearance, build etc.):
Image

Height: 6 feet 8 inches
Weight: 185
Background (experience): 8 years in the military ( staff lower kommandant rank ), has been in military school his whole life ( so about 12 years of military education ), his kill count in the military is 36 men in which 9 of his kills are from close combat.

Weapons (no guns, tasers, bows or other ranged weapons): tonfa ( Okinawan weapon ), basic combat knife, riot shield, collapsible baton, field shovel.

Additional Information (any fighting styles they know (if you make one up include a short description), anything else that might give them the edge): helghast soldiers are trained in defensive blocking techniques so trying to hit by making straight out punches and kicks without trying to make sharp turns and moves won't get you anywhere. When using a weapon he uses nearly all of his potential into having the weapon block the opponent in order to wear out the enemy.

Why I should care about your guy (I will choose who to write about based on favoritism, bribes, and interest): Terus just wants to see how other nation's citizens like to fight. Occasionally he likes to drink a few beers, but he hates expensive aristocratic alcoholic beverages since it reminds him of the wealthier people...although he is a hardened veteran of war, he never wants to kill his opponent unless he knows the intent of the enemy to kill him, and will never strike the first blow. If dueling he will expect to greet the enemy before fighting ( like a bowing gesture ).

I suppose I owe you for all of those lineart hats and stuff you helped me with.

Harald auf Silverstjarna was trudging through the damp, dank forests of the southern highlands looking for a highlander to duel, having heard of their tremendous size, strength, and skill in battle. As he had his Neko slave move a tree branch out of his way he heard the boom of a large caliber rifle, and saw the branch his slave was holding back slap him in the face. Quickly shoving the branch out of his way, he saw his slave on the ground, a massive hole torn through his body. As Harald was drawing his sabre he heard a beastly roar that shook the entire forest and witnessed a hulking giant charging towards him carrying a sword almost as long as himself. As the beastman swung his sword Harald held his above his head with both hands, nearly snapping his sword from the force.

Harald backed off and noticed a massive chink in the middle of his sword blade. Calmly Harald prepared himself for another charge by the beast. As the beast closed in on him again dodged his swing and attempted stab the monster in the gut, only to have it dodge out of the way at the last minute. Quickly the highlander circled around behind Harald and hooked his right arm around Harald's neck. Harald quickly drew his short sword and stabbed the highlander in the arm, forcing it to release Harald. Seeing that he had not weapons, with his sabre damaged and behind the highlander, and his short sword buried in its arm, Harald raised his fists to settle the fight with bear hands.

The highlander painfully removed the sword in its arm, tossed it away, and charged his opponent. While Harald had managed to land an uppercut on the highlander it simply kept charging, tossing its head back, then snapping it forward into Harald's head. As Harald stumpled back, the beast charged him again, slamming him into a tree, and again, tossing him down a small hill. As Harald stumbled to his feet once again, he noticed the highlander charging him again, however, instead of facing the beast head on this time, he dove to the right and grabbed the highlander from behind. As the highlander struggled to get Harald off of his neck he bumped into a tree, peeled some of the bark off, and stabbed it into Harald's eye. As Harald collapsed, the highlander raised his foot and repeatedly stomped Harald's chest, finally crushing his lungs and breaking several ribs. Harald gathered his weapons, the weapons of his enemies, and the bodies of the giant man he slew and the strange cat person with him. He would have a feast tonight.

End result Highlander Victory
Highlander: Injured, right arm likely crippled for life
Harald auf Silverstjarna : Killed

Might as well revive this and have the highlander fight another monster.

Tekoo examined the shattered battlefield. For over a decade, a war has been raging on between his nation and the primitive people of this planet, however the population of the planet were rapidly adapting to warfare against them. As Tekko wandered off towards a nearby river to get a drink, he heard something in the bush. Turning he noticed nothing and continued towards the river until he heard the sound of branches breaking as someone quickly sprinted towards him.

Turning just in time, Tekoo was able to catch the blade of an abnormally large human. As Tekoo prepared to finish the human, the highlander quickly drew his knife and stabbed Tekko in his arm holding the sword. Stumbling back in pain, Tekko took a deep breath, and sprayed fire at the human, who jumped back quickly enough to avoid being roasted alive. As Tekoo took another breath the human charged at him again, but this time Tekko flew into the air to dodge the attack, but before he could burn the human below, the sword slashed through his wing causing him to plummet to the ground.

Enraged and wounded Tekoo charged the human, breathing fire at the last second to prevent the human from escaping. However, despite being half burned the highlander managed to thrust his knife into Tekoo's chest. Enraged further Tekko raised both of his fists and slammed them into the human's back as hard as he could. As the human collapsed Tekoo caught him threw him into a tree, where he used his fire breath on the human until only ashes remained.

End result Tekoo Santiago Victory
Highlander: Killed
Tekoo Santiago: Injured, wing slashed, lung punctured
IC Nation Name: The Glorious Empire of Luthoria
Monarch: Emperor Siegfried XVI

Name: Generic Red Tidean Trooper (let's call him Number 6)
Age: 22
Gender: Male
General Description: Sandy haired, hazel eyes. Wholly unremarkable, just some poor conscript bastard who has found himself without either of his issued guns going against something he would rather shoot then stab.
Height: 180 centimeters (roughly 5'11")
Weight: 80 kilograms (roughly 175 pounds)
Background (experience): Three months Red Tidean basic training, plus another month of standard peacetime schedule (you'll have to scroll down).
Weapons (no guns, tasers, bows or other ranged weapons): Combat knife (has the plug to be used as a bayonet but that isn't much use without his rifle, now is it?) and a entrenching tool that has been sharpened into a improvised bludgeoning/cutting-combo weapon.
Additional Information: Red Tidean conscripts aren't given much melee training beyond a little bayonet practice, but they are given advice. And that advice basically amounts too: anything goes. Anything you get your hands on is a potential weapon, you just have to figure out how too use it in a beneficial manner.
Why I should care about your guy: Other then taking pity on the poor fool whose primary job is to be a expendable pawn in any battle plan? There is no reason. You can be sure his superiors don't care about him either.

The Red Tidean Union or The Union of Red Tide or the RTU or Red Tide. NOT Red Tide2.
Red Tide is an oligarchy, with the ruling body known as the 'Central Institution'. The Director of the Central Institute changes constantly. It follows no political ideology, so stop mistaking it for a communist state, thank you very much.

Name: Holipitas Tiber
Age: 29
Gender: Female
General Description: Tiber wears the 'classical' Ramset figure. Elegant, smooth, and built largely for endurance and life in the desert. Her years of training and position in the Imperial guard have left her somewhat toned and with a physically capable appearance. She has blonde hair cropped close in an assymetrical bob, and pale white skin.
Height: 5'11
Weight: average
Background: Several years experience in the Imperial guard of Ramsetia, an expert in the use of the Duelling shield, and growing up in a military family
Weapons: Judicial Duelling Shield, Ramset Straightblade

Additional Information: Both the duelling shield and straightblade are excellent one-on-one weapons. The shield is two-handed, shaped somewhat like a tower shield with rounded edges, sporting hooked blades at either end. The straightblade is a long, straight sword roughly analogous to a bastard sword, with a flattened tip and uneven ricasso. Ramset swordsmanship focuses heavily of sleight of hand, distracting an enemy with theatrics and sweeping motions to disorient them so that a single killing blow may be used.

She may or may not be wearing the usual honour guard armour, or at least part of it. Heavy metallic plates made up of a blued steel material, large flaring shoulders, a long purple half-cape, floating thigh plates, greaces and gauntlets, and a large, floofy beret. The armour also sports two papyrus reed-shaped 'wings' that spear out from the back.

Why I should care about your girl: a two-handed shield as a primary weapon presents an interesting difference in opponent. She's also a member of the Ramset Emperess'es personal honour guard.

An example of an Imperial Guardsman. Straightblade is on far hip.

Name:
Jackson "Bull" Bowers

Age:
35

Gender:
Male

General Description (appearance, build etc.):
Well built, very pale looking skin, numerous scars on his arms (especially around his forearms), a large scar on his right shoulder, a scar going down the left side of his face, starting at the base of his left eye down over his mouth (leaving a small gap in his lip) down to his chin. Half of his right ear is missing, several scars on his abdomen and both sides of his ribs and countless scars tracing down his back. Red pupils, platinum blonde hair in a rat tail-style. Wears a loose leather vest with jeans, combat boots and specially made black gloves that stretch up halfway to his forearms (will get to them in the weapons section).

Height:
7'2" (218 cm)

Weight:
237 pounds (107 kg)

Background (experience):
Member of the Necronomican military since the age of 13, Bowers has seen many conflicts and inflicted massive casualities on numerous enemy forces as well as taken a lot of punishment. He was a member of an experimental special ops unit for 10 years (which disbanded a few years back due to a condition with a peace treaty) which oversaw numerous operations behind enemy lines that would entail Bowers to engage enemies in hand-to-hand combat, sharping his melee combat skills for many years and has been known to brutally torture his victims. Very brutal and blood thirsty individual.

Weapons (no guns, tasers, bows or other ranged weapons):
A pair of hook swords
Image

Two 6 inch bowie knives (one attached to each boot)
Image

And two specially made "forearm gloves" with a retractable blade installed in each one
This is an example of the blade, basically it's the same just taken off this handle and implemented into the gloves
Image



Additional Information (any fighting styles they know (if you make one up include a short description), anything else that might give them the edge):
Has been trained is various military combat styles along with several martial arts disciplines including Kung-Fu (however the many years of combat has made his body a bit weary). Highly trained killer that shows no remorse or mercy and even enjoys torturing. He is also trained to withstand great amounts of pain and the scars on his body is evident of that, he's even taken several stabs to his abdomen and ribs and still survived, even killing his assailant with his bare hands. Will fight to the death and will even try to take his opponent with him if possible.


Why I should care about your guy (I will choose who to write about based on favoritism, bribes, and interest):
He has heard of your Highlanders and would love to show off his skills to your Nation and even if possible join you. He has had many successful years of combat but time has taken somewhat of a toll on him, he is still welcome to be a part of our military but due to a peace treaty there are no more opportunities for any black ops programs, though soon the treaty will be nulled and we are already getting ready to form another division. However he does not want to wait and wants to make his nation pride and if possible would be a part of your nation's military.
