DEATH BY INCHES. One-Handed Swords
1 Strikes, 0 Specials, 225% Speed, 25% PowerIt was the messenger in Shakespear's play Coriolanus who famously
warned the Roman senator Menenius Agrippa "fly to your house... or
they'll give him death by inches". Since then, the concept of cutting
down a foe "by inches" has survived as both a notion of torment and a
military strategy of besting a stalwart foe not with a mighty blow but
with a thousand tiny pinpricks.The name is perfect for a Sword Art that
sacrifices power to unleash a swift and highly accurate slash -- not an
attack that's ever likely to fell an adversary in one shot, but one that
can consistently and precisely chip away at the enemy.
Compared to
many Sword Arts, 'Death By Inches' doesn't readily announce itself with a
radiant burst of color -- instead, like a lightning arc leaping from a
tesla coil, a thin gleam of pale blue light travels from the base to the
tip of the blade as the technique activates, then the entire blade will
glow stark white for just a moment as the attack lashes out and
attempts to connect. To activate Death By Inches Theron holds his blade
single-handed and pointed behind him on sheath side (left, sword held
right-handed), his left hand resting just the tip of his pointer finger
on the flat of the blade until the moment of activation, at which point
he charges forward with all the speed he can muster, aiming for a
passing side-swipe strike on his foe. Ideally this will place him just
behind his target if the Sword Art connects -- if performed quickly, it
is even possible to chain this Sword Art into a bladed dance round about
the target, keeping Theron a moving target and, hopefully, his opponent
off balance.
Unsurprisingly, this Sword Art is significantly less
effective against foes with tough skin or anything but light armor. It's
mostly useful for light skirmishing and defender-backed team tactics.
RISING TIDE. One-Handed Swords
2 Strikes, 0 Specials, 100% Speed, 100% PowerA very up-close-and-personal Sword Art that requires Theron to get
directly in front of his target to use, Rising Tide distinguishes itself
from many other Sword Arts in that, instead of leaping forward or
charging at a foe once the Art is "released", it instead requires him to
jump. Straight up. The attack is performed as such:
Theron must first get close enough to his target that he could easily
reach out at touch him/her/it, then crouch down with his sword held low
at his side in a two-handed reverse grip. Once in this position and
posture, the blade will quickly begin to glow a bright aqua blue as it
charges up -- when unleashed, Theron jumps straight up in the air,
dragging his blade's edge across the foe with the superior leverage
offered by the reverse grip. Once he reaches the height of his jump,
however, he nimbly switches over to a traditional two-handed grip and,
blade still glowing blue, brings the weapon slashing down on his enemy
from above in a heavy-handed overhead swing. The entire motion mimics
the rising swell of an ocean wave... and the force of it crashing down.EQUIPMENT<<ACCESSORY>>

STARTER RAPIER (1)
A thin sword with a sharp, slender blade,
perfect for slipping through the cracks in armor. The shoddy workmanship
is obvious and the weapon looks well used, but it can still stab
things. It comes with a standard leather sheath to be hung on the hip or
back.<<HEAD>>

STARTER LEATHER BREASTPLATE (1)
A thin layer of playable leather
that flits snugly over clothes. Barely better than your average thick
cloth shirt, but better than being nude.<<OFF-HAND>>
