sorry lolaf! D; art will probs go for taking one of his eyes just btw





? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? indignation lingers, vehemently swarming beneath the apathetic guise she adorns as she wallows in the destructive thoughts of the uncharacteristic betrayal of her once-sibling -- the brother she had impulsively disowned in a moment of intensified fury. still her rage has not been surpassed, still it festers within her poisoned mind, intoxicating as it fuels her veins with an influx of adrenaline and entices her with the prospect of VENGEANCE. she craves to inflict agonizing pain upon the boy who had dared disparage her achievements when she had bled and annihilated for his sake { for the elysiuses who had forsaken her }; yet she intends to inflict physical pain upon him unlike the emotional anguish he had forced upon her with his disloyalty. she is incessantly encumbered by the desire to carve her wrath into his flesh, to ensure that he remembers who is the stronger, who would always be the stronger.



and it is the impulsivity of her increasing fury that forces the phantom deity to reunite with the epicenter of the infamous battlegrounds, digits flexing against the bloodied earth in preparation for her impending assault. defenses are instinctively secured as her frigid gaze ravages her barren surroundings, skull lowering over her broad chest cavity as her tail descends in alignment with the remainder of her spinal column, ears sewing against the skewed slopes of her crown while her mismatched gaze narrows to violent slits of glowering amethyst and silver. robust appendages spread equidistant apart to support her evenly-distributed weight with a squared stance, each limb bent slightly at the joints to lower her center of gravity as her toes splay to maintain balance and her nails grapple the stained ground beneath her to retain traction. shoulders roll forward and her skull draws back some to safeguard her precious neck in a protective halo of excess flesh and fat, hackles bristling along the length of her serpentine spine as her jaws fall slack, mandible tucking against the curvature of her neck as her abdomen tenses to tighten her core. velveteen lips peel back to unsheathe gluttonous incisors that urge to provoke carnage, her brother?s name written across their jagged edges in a threat so obvious. fate would have him f a l l at her feet.



she has methodically positioned herself downwind from the negligent silver?s misted crypt where she had last encountered her sibling, body angled towards the wraith?s domain as she expects for him to approach her from it. and as her rage ignites beneath her indifferent exterior with the commemoration of his newfound loyalties, so her skull briefly tips back, a summons so foreboding streaming from decadent jaws in a demand for his presence -- her sinister intentions clearly enunciated within the depths of her tones. she would see him bleed for his transgressions.

Ebony dipped limbs carry the carmine empress swiftly across the earths rocky domain, her volcanic orbs sliding from left to right as she searches for her vigorous paramour. Artemis' battle cry had instantly captured her attention, her curiosity begging to be quelled by the answers she would receive by attending the challenge. She did not know who, or what, Artemis was challenging for, but the sinister edge within her tone explained it all. She was out for revenge, and the nymph would stand beside her ally with confidence, her tooth and claw ready to slay at any moment. Should Artemis require her assistance in any way she would be there, ready to lay her life down in the name of the Elysius tyrant. As she approaches the serpentine woman her defenses begin to fall into place, a precaution she is taking in case she needs to battle beside Artemis. "You will forever have my full fledged loyalty, Artemis. My tooth and claw are yours to command." Silky soft tones seep from her slackened jaw, her right brow cocking as the formation of a smirk begins to curl the corners of her lips. She feels the overwhelming desire to make flesh against flesh contact, but she remembers the vacant reaction she received from Artemis last time she tried to show her physical affection. Instead she aims to stop beside Artemis(arts left), and recline onto her haunches beside her. She then turns her inferno like gaze toward the same direction Artemis is facing, her audits perked atop her skull as she waits for any signs of Art's opponent.

((Just putting up a warning for mature language))






Rage bubbled beneath the boy, god fucking dammit! She couldn?t just leave him alone could she? Dammit if she had been so hungry for blood lust she should have just attacked him at the borders, but now that she had made him wait, sought to prolong his pain he would insure that if she lost she?d suffer; and he had no intentions of losing.
Steel blue orbs landed upon the wraith?s form and a hiss slide from between clenched teeth. ?And here I was thinking it was you who had disowned me.? He hissed, only briefly acknowledging the red bitch on the field, so his sister had found a new little disciple then? Too blind to see that she had failed? ?But apparently not since you seem consumed with me.?
As he spoke he set himself,. He cracked his neck then lowered it over his throat, shoulders rolling forwards and tail flagging out flat behind him. Eyes narrowed into slits, ears pulling down against his skull and lips curling up. His hackles rose. ?For someone who wanted nothing more to do with me, you sure do seem to like me a lot. Maybe you should just it go!?
He roared the last word, springing forwards as he did. Paws pounded against the field as he charged feigning to his right before putting on as much speed as he could angling ever so slightly to his left, head pulling up high as he aimed to slam his chest into Artemis?, hoping to collide with her chest. His front right paw making a sweeping motion towards the right with the intention of knocking her paws out from under her. He had learned his lesson, pure brute force was not the answer, still he preferred it.
Artemis vs Novocaine
For maim (Neutering)

pm me for questions! c:





? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? her queenly attention diverts as the presence of her carmine beauty becomes apparent, her abstract gaze softening from its typical frigidity as avid pupils connect with the empress? volcanic gaze -- entirely captivating. yet her defensive stance is unwavering even as the scarlet vixen lays waste to the distance that separates tyrant from queen, frayed lips tweaking with undeniable mirth as fiamette?s soprano infiltrates the foreboding silence that can only belong to this god-forsaken GRAVEYARD. although the phantom deity refrains from verbal retort, her pallid skull bobs faintly in appreciation of the sentiment, fully knowing that she did not need to express her own willingness to slaughter for fiamette?s sake -- such a fact is wrought within the momentary warmth of her mismatched gaze. however, as the obtrusive footfalls of a secondary bystander breach the paladin?s auditory system, her eyes yet again glaze over with sinister intent, pupils easily locating the form of her haughty once-sibling { the betrayer! } as he executes his enraged approach, evidently vexed by her inescapable challenge.



his speech is enough to elicit an incredulous snort from flared nostrils, countenance yet vacant of the emotion swarming beneath even as she registers his insipid vocals. he claims of her obsession with him and of her supposed unwillingness to witness his departure from their family ties; alas, summoning him to her arena is no labor of love -- only vengeance. the pale tyrant queen refrains from retaliation, pupils focused upon his central chest cavity in an attempt to pinpoint muscle contractions that would serve as telltale signals of his impending charge, her own rugged sinew flexing beneath pale flesh as his venomous speech subsides. and as he begins to barrel forward, so the phantom can only mutter a faint: ?move,? to her little demon before robust appendages begin to pump her into action, readily discarding the empress? offer -- this was her battle to WIN.



rather than remaining stationary, the phantom hopes to meet her brother?s charge head-on with a sprint of her own -- refraining from falling for his feint to her left as her pupils remain focused upon his chest cavity. yet she allows for novo to position himself slightly to her right { and his left }, forcing her own right shoulder blade to shunt forward and serve as her jousting lance as she attempts to position the jutted right shoulder blade towards the center portion of the natural groove located between her brother?s left shoulder and leftwards chest, aspiring to thrust the pointed blade there with the intentions of dislocating his left shoulder, hoping that the force of her potential forward exertion and hefty weight might increase the odds for successful dislocation. of course, the success of his attempt to slam into her chest is dependent upon the success of their collision, so the tyrant queen remains unharmed for now [ counter, pending damage. ]



in synchronicity with her attempted shoulder-slam, the deity?s gaping jaws tilt diagonally to her own left, surging forward in an attempt to latch across her brother?s visage. the incisors of her upper jaw endeavor to pierce through her brother?s fragile right eye in hopes of permanent blinding, her mandible intending to strike the thin flesh upon the center of his left cheek in hopes of disfiguring his pristine facial features. meanwhile, as the tyrant queen glimpses the sweeping motion of her brother?s right forepaw from her peripherals, her own left forepaw elevates and her weight shifts evenly between her three grounded appendages to accommodate the loss of the fourth, attempting to slam her ascended left forepaw onto the right front toes of her brother, ambitious to break the toes beneath her crippling weight. she aspires to time this motion as he sweeps beneath her left forepaw, hopeful in her endeavor of catching his right forepaw beneath her left. her tooth and claw will show no mercy -- not even to her own blood. he will receive the brunt of her wrath whether or not he believes himself deserving of it.



throughout the deity?s attempted assault, her defenses remain secured to the best of her own ability: skull lowered slightly over her breast to safeguard her precious vitals, tail held in level alignment with the remainder of her spinal column as her hackles raise along the length of said spine. mismatched gaze remains narrowed to slits yet alert of their surroundings, triangular ears fold against the contours of her lowered crown, and abdominal muscles tense to tighten her core. limbs are spread equidistant apart, each bent slightly at the knee to lower her center of gravity as her weight distributes evenly among all four { save for when she lifts her left forepaw }. toes are splayed across the stained earth and her nails grapple into the soil for traction, shoulders rolling forward and skull drawing back slightly to encumber her neck in protective layers of excess flesh and fur. chin tucks defensively against the curvature of her neck and her jaws remain unhinged, blackened lips peeled back to expose her favored artillery of choice and scrunch the skin upon her countenance. she will emerge victorious from the fray, and he will taste defeat upon his tongue -- as fate has already decided.

Novocaine suffered a one track mind, so focused on his charge was he that he failed to compensate for Artemis? counter, her shoulder blade pushing painfully into his left shoulder cavity. Pain fractured up his joints and a roar throwing his head back and screwing his eyes shut for a moment. Teeth sunk into the left side of his face, Upper jaw just narrowly missing his eyes no doubt in thanks to the involuntary reaction of pain. Skin and fur tearing from his cheek where her grip had landed, a sharp pain on the bridge of his muzzle where her upper incisors had landed. More flesh was tearing as she shifted her weight and Novocaine abandoned his bid to knock her over in favor of stabilizing himself. Splaying his legs, tail wavering out behind him.
With a growl the male risked further damage to jut his gaping maw upwards and to his left, fangs seeking the soft flesh of her throat. There would be no mercy for the woman that had once been his sister, just as she refused to show him. Shoulder rolled forwards, eyes slivers of steel, ears pulled all the way back. His knees bent as he shifted his weight upwards to try and put some force into his grab. Hackles remained on end and toes splayed to grip the earth beneath his paws.

Artemis vs Novocaine
For Neutering
2/2
Defenses: toes splaying, knees bending, legs splayed, shoulders rolled forwards, tail out behind him, eyes narrowed, ears pulled back, raised hackles.
Attacks: Trying to grab hold of Artemis's throat.
Injuries: Dislocated left shoulder, moderate puncture wounds on his left cheek and the bridge of his muzzle, severe tearing on left cheek and bridge of his muzzle.
OOC. Good luck Aly :3

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? sadistic pleasure surges through the phantom?s interior as her sibling?s left shoulder socket gives way to the combined force of her forward exertion and heavy weight, a moderate bruise blossoming upon the jagged point of her own right shoulder blade as an unfortunate result of their collision. similarly, ravenous jaws are victorious in their endeavor of ensnaring the boy?s countenance; alas, the increasing desire to seize his right eye is left unslaked { for now }, gluttonous incisors instead managing to mutilate the leftwards portion of his visage and snout, flesh ripping delightfully at the seams beneath the serrated edges of her teeth. however, the phantom deity understands that a grasp upon her sibling?s left-sided cheek will neither blind him nor force him into submission { as she aspires toward }, and therefore, relinquishes the grip obtained to his flesh from her sinful jaws, mismatched gaze fervently scouring for her incisors? next target as her left forepaw reunites with the earth?s bloodied surface, having been left unrewarded of her brother?s toes.



and as her balance is restabilized among all fours, so the phantom ensures that the remainder of her defenses are left unyielding: her limbs spread equidistant apart and bent slightly at the joints to lower her center of gravity as she distributes her weight evenly among all four appendages, toes splaying beneath her robust form as her nails grapple the soil below for traction and her abdomen tenses to tighten her core. skull is left in level alignment with her spinal cord as is her tail, her shoulders rolled forward and her neck scrunched slightly to encumber the front and sides of her vital neck in haloes of excess flesh and fat, safeguarding her delicate jugular veins. metallic and violet gaze remains narrowed to dangerous slits and her ears are presumably sewn against the contours of her lowered crown, chin tucked tightly against the curvature of her neck as her lips peel back to unsheathe decadent incisors and her jaws fall agape. lastly, the deity?s hackles bristle along the length of her spinal column, simultaneously serving as a defense mechanism and a testimony of the inferno blazing beneath taut flesh -- the fire he had ignited with his unforgivable betrayal.



and he so dares to impale the flesh of her right-sided [ ? ] neck with vindictive jaws, his incisors piercing the rolled skin located towards the middle portion of her right-sided neck { and along the actual side portion of her neck } to about three-quarters of an inch in depth. red seeps from the moderate puncture wounds etched into her neck from his grasp; however, because of the fleshy rolls of fat safeguarding her vitals, the damage is significantly diluted. yet the pain is still present, and as a product of the trauma he has inflicted, the phantom thus aspires to impose even greater agony upon him, her skull and gaping jaws hoping to crane to her own left and downwards as they strive for the upper right-sided portion of novo?s own neck. the incisors of her upper jaw intend to clamp down upon the flesh located more-so towards the back of his right-sided neck while the teeth of her mandible aspire to pierce directly along the side of the neck, vicious in their attempt to nick her adversary?s right-sided jugular vein. and while such an attempted assault is rather brutal { especially towards one?s own blood }, the deity?s influx of adrenaline and fury breeds impulsivity and irrationality; she is wrath incarnate -- the spiteful victim of his familial infractions.



alas, the brunt of her intended assault does not end there. as her jaws attempt to latch onto the upper portion of her sibling?s right-sided neck, so her right forepaw elevates from the earth, her weight immediately shifting evenly among her three grounded limbs to maintain her own balance. the right forepaw attempts to maneuver forward and wrap around the outside of her sibling?s left front ankle, aspiring to pull his left forelimb out from underneath him with an attempted yanking motion towards herself, hoping to disrupt the boy?s balance and force him to stumble over. she wants him to bow at her paws, to remember the strength infested within her bones for as long as his measly existence is wont to plague this earth.

attacks -- with novo latched on the center portion of her right-sided neck, artemis attempts to angle her jaws downwards and towards the upper portion of his own right-sided neck, upper jaw intending to clamp along towards the back of the neck as her mandible hopes to pierce along the actual side portion of his neck, hopeful in its endeavor of nicking novo's right-sided jugular vein. simultaneously attempting to wrap her elevated right forepaw around the outside of his left front ankle, hoping to pull the left forelimb back towards herself in hopes of upsetting his balance.



injuries -- moderate bruise to point of right shoulder, three-quarters of an inch deep puncture wounds to the center portion of her right-sided neck

Artemis v Novocaine for Maim



Round 1
Novocaine:

0 for clarity- -2 what angle is he approaching her at? -2 what part of his chest is he trying to collide with hers -2 where on Artemis' chest does he intend the blow to land? -2 where is he aiming with his paw sweep? is he trying to catch her paws? her wrists? maybe the middle of the foreleg? -2 what is he hoping to accomplish with the chest slam? bruising? knock the air from her? push her back? Make sure to specify your force and intent or your opponent may go for the least amount of damage or result.

8 for powerplaying. -2 you need to attempt to close the distance between them

4 for defenses. +1 for each seen -3 not readjusting balance when lifting right forepaw

3 for attack. +1 chest slam (points lost for clarity) +2 paw sweep (point lost for clarity)

10 for injuries. none, first round

Round one Total: 25/50


Artemis:

10 for clarity-clear-

10 for powerplaying. none seen

10 for defenses.+1 for each seen

8 for attack. +2 shoulder slam (+1 maim attempt), +3 bite (+1 maim attempt) +2 paw sweep + 1 maim attempt -2 for realism (I don't find it realistic that she could see and pin his sweeping paw, considering how her head is currently angled and that she's already involved in a lot of movement.

10 for injuries.none first round


Round one Total: 48/50

Round 2

Novocaine:

3 for clarity--2 how much damage was done by Artemis' shoulder throw. Will it leave bruising? did something strain? did she succeed in dislocation? -2 how is Novo moving his head to get at Art's throat? is it tilting to the left? the right? where will his upper and lower jaw hope to land? -2 what angle is his head approaching Art from? -1 what does he hope to acheive with this attack? tear flesh? crush her windpipe? strangle her? (note I see it in the notes below but we need it in the actual post too)

6 for powerplaying.-2 you need to address Art's attack on his paw. Again judges can't assume even though it's pretty obvious he stopped the paw swipe to stabilize himself so her paw would hit nothing. Even so you much make note of this in your post. -2 you need to attempt this "With a growl the male risked further damage to jut his gaping maw upwards and to his left, fangs seeking the soft flesh of her throat."

10 for defenses.+1 each seen

3 for attack.+2 for jaw attack (-1 clarity issue) +1 aiming for vital

3 for injuries.-3 severe blow to shoulder joint -1 dislocation, -3 moderate severe mauling to face

Round two Total: 25/50


Artemis:

8 for clarity--2 sorry but I can't visualize this, I don't know quite what you mean "towards the middle portion of her right-sided neck { and along the actual side portion of her neck }" do you mean smack dab in the middle? like equidistant between head and shoulders and equidistant between ventral and dorsal?

10 for powerplaying.none seen

10 for defenses. +1 each seen

7 for attack.+3 bite (+1 vital) +3 paw swipe

7 for injuries.-1 moderate bruising to shoulder -2 moderate puncture wounds to neck

Round two Total: 42/50
Totals:


Novocaine: 50/100

Artemis:90/100



And the winner is...


Artemis! Novocaine must give up by either submitting, fleeing, or passing out.

Damage:


Novocaine - Dislocated shoulder will need to be tended to quickly to avoid complications, should heal within a few ooc days [really feels immediately better once they pop it back in place, I speak from experience xD] Facial wounds will take an ooc week to heal. Damage to right eye will result in permanent blinding in that eye.


Artemis - bruising will clear up in a few ooc days. Punctures to neck will take 5 ooc days to heal.

Notes:


For Novocaine Don't get discouraged! You have a huge amount of potential. Your writing style is very clear, straightforward and easy to read. Just be sure to list all your defenses, and work on the technical clarity portion of your fight posts. Do that and I think you'll approve in leaps and bounds.

For Artemis Great job! Nothing of note.

There was no time to revel in his victorious grip upon her neck, not as her own jaws left his face and aimed for the vulnerable and all to exposed side of his throat. Instantly he jerked his head away, letting go of his hold. Still fangs punched into his neck, a wet gasp exploded from his lips. Unable to bring himself back to focus the next thing he knew the boy was tipping forwards his foreleg pulled out from under him, upsetting his all too precious balance. The ground rushed up to meet him and he hit it hard, groaning and coughing, a liquid that tasted of iron flying from his gaping maw with each hack.
The world was growing faint, fuzzy. Words found their way onto his tongue. ?Keep your name!? He spat, blood and saliva arching from his lips in what he hoped was her direction. ?From now on I am Novocaine Krall.? His new name announced in a hiss the boy allowed himself to surrender. His last image being of fangs diving towards his face once more; a last mercy that he would not be awake for this, though his waking would be worse for it.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? her incisors are the guillotine that skewers the frail flesh above his precious jugular, threatening to terminate his measly life as the pressure of her bite intensifies; alas, the deity has no intentions of slaughtering her former kin where he stands -- she aspires to see him suffer for his transgressions. thus, as the boy practically kneels at her paws in a testimony of his defeat, the deity wrenches her jaws free of his flesh, vengeance and iron the sweetest taste upon her tongue as her mismatched eyes yet linger upon his pathetic form, disdain laden within her fixated gaze. red seeps from the former elysius? myriad of wounds and their creator merely revels in her victory, skull ascending from its defensive position with obvious arrogance as a decadent smirk chisels her frayed lips. the tyrant queen is proudly stagnant even as the conquered spits an abhorrent concoction of saliva and blood at her paws, tainting her pallid fur an even darker { and deadlier } shade of crimson; yet she remains wholly undeterred from her initial operation -- and even further fueled.



he dares to utter a final sentiment saturated with potent venom and a mirthless chortle cascades from the phantom?s jaws in retaliation, her skull drawing closer to his own as her frigid gaze interlocks with his own cerulean. ?and your krall descendents will be as pathetic as their founder, nameless one,? is the sinister vow that infiltrates the momentary silence before ravenous jaws strive for the boy?s right eye, upper jaw successfully latching just above its target as her mandible purchases just beneath. and as the pressure applied behind her bite increases, so the targeted eye is crushed betwixt ruthless jaws until it gives way to her jaws? exertion and the deity wrenches the eye clean of its socket, successfully severing the optic nerve with the jagged edges of her incisors. blood pours from the vacant socket yet her sibling is no longer conscious to register the carnage she has wrought upon his form, and her pupils briefly admire the damage she has provoked before disgust ensues and she forces her attention elsewhere. pupils engulf the familiar physique of her carmine beauty and she offers the empress a satisfied simper, tipping her skull in the wraith?s direction before robust limbs propel her from the proximities of the gory scene, leaving her past behind to rot.
