In the middle of a sand-covered, square-shaped arena, two fighters face each other 15 meters apart. The wall of the arena is 15 meters behind each fighter, and there are 22.5 meters to the walls on the left and right side of each fighter. Finally, there are six durasteel barriers in the arena, which are 2 meters long and 101.6 centimeters (1.016 meters) tall. They each weigh 2,721 kilograms and are not bolted down to the ground. The two barriers that are the closest to the each fighter are positioned 5 meters behind and 2 meters to the left and right behind their starting positions. The next two barriers are 7.5 meters in front of the fighters, and are 2 meters to the left and right in front of their starting positions.

The stands and the outside of the arena are sealed off from the fighters through a particle shield, which completely prevent exit or entry.

OOC: This thread is intended to be a non-canon practice PvP match. It is open to one other player, who will write as my opponent. I intend for the fight to be to the death, but that will be inconsequential, since this is a non-canon thread. Also, I made a quick and rough not-to-scale mockup of the arena, which is in the spoiler tag below. The red lines represent the barriers, and the two black dots represent the staring positions of our fighters. Keep in mind that each wall/side of the arena is 45 meters long.

Spoiler

Rules:
1. You may bring any gear you want, as long as it is usable by a single individual (your character).
2. Usage of the Force is Allowed.
3. No powergaming, metagaming, etc.
4. Declare your character's gear in your first post.
5. Have fun and get better!

Curious eyes scanned the arena briefly and enough to examine what was needed to see. The Cathar always wanted to fight in an arena and now this was it. Vibrosword holstered on his back hip in a horizontal fashion and right hand gripping his Pistol in its holster. Safety was off. Sniffing the air through his masked visor Jahan took in his opponents scent well. Giving a short bow to the thin armored humaniod he showed his respect and finished with a nod. Afterward his right arm twitched drawing the pistol from its holster and the weapon was brought up to aim with a single hand. There was a loud crack as the slugthrower sounded aloud firing a single shot aimed at [member="Chandana Kay"] left hip region. After firing the large Cathar moved in a jogging pace toward his opponent. His balance was firm ready as if he was preparing for a dodge or counter attack.

The diminutive Bimm gave no indication of respectful acknowledgement towards her hulking, lion-like opponent. Knowing that she was about to fight for her life, Chandana immediately dashed for cover and slid behind the barrier which had been behind and to the left of her initial position. Just as she slid into cover, the Auxiliary heard the distinct whistle of a high-powered slugthrower round as it flew across her and slightly grazed the surface of her leg armor.

When Chandana was safely behind cover, she began to consider her options. Immediately, the diminutive Bimm knew that she was desperately outmatched. Her armor could only withstand a small fraction of the punishment that the armor of the hulking Cathar could take. The defensive qualities of his armor were amplified by the offensive utility that was likely built into it. Chandana would have to keep her distance, stay behind cover, and pelt him with blaster fire with every chance she could take. Only then, would she have a chance of leaving the arena with her life.

Chandana leaned from the right side of the barrier, only exposing her head and arms to the advancing and bloodthirsty Cathar. Within less than a half-second, Chandana threw a single chakram aimed to strike at the Cathar's lower abdomen...

His opponent was rather quick, That was good. Watching where [member="Chandana Kay"] went to take cover, Jahan focused on the the barrier she ran to and kept his pace. Nearing closer the Cathar could see the two middle barriers in the arena and noted them both as the half way marker from his peripheral view. His eyes never shifted from the barrier his opponent ran to for cover. A quick sudden movement surprised the large feline as he watched a circular object fly toward him. Shifting to his right with a slide he felt a impact on his left bracer. With a glance he inspected the damage briefly, The bracer was cut and the object still loosely in the armor plate, though not deep.

Needless to say it did not slow him down at all and fell off between the two middle barriers in the arena. Breaking into a sprint the Cathar continued to his right till he reached the opposite side of the barriers edge his opponent was on and he waited. Inhaling deep and he took the moment to control his breath but at the same time letting his opponent know his own location. If it wasn't for the barrier they could of been standing back to back. Drawing his Vibrosword with his left hand he then holstered his firearm on his armored holster.

As the hulking lion shifted and recovered his momentum in his effort to dodge the chakram, Chandana unholstered her F-11D blaster rifle and quickly sighted the weapon, while still leaning out of cover. Then, as he began to advance towards her position in a sprint, Chandana squeezed the trigger of her F-11D five times in rapid succession just as he crossed the middle of the arena. The first three shots were aimed at his upper chest region and the next two shots were aimed at his axilla region. Her goal being to keep the massive creature at a distance, the small Auxiliary soldier sought to use every tool in her arsenal to accomplish her objective, which was quite stunning in its simplicity.

Live.

Incoming fire! The blaster bolts traveled fast and their aim was true, but something interesting happened when the plasma shots got close to the Cathar. The bolts seemed to weaken in power or become unstable, once the bolts got within several meters of him they fell apart in a splatter of energy covering him in various areas. A normal blaster shot would of been focused and staggered an armored foe or knocked him over but it seemed these shots did little of that. The spread of plasma made kinetic impact with Jahans armor causing light burns on the metal plating, almost like a scatter gun would of. The Lions Guard-CH1 was designed to be highly energy resistant and Jahan was overly confident in this. Holding his sword and pistol Jahan chuckled to himself and relaxed. Assuming that was her only ranged weapon besides her chakrams the Cathar stepped away from the barrier casually.

What could he worry about? Giving himself 4 feet of room from the barrier, Jahan circled to the closest edge he last saw his prey. Once he saw [member="Chandana Kay"] he would intend on firing his sidearm at her.

Leaning out from the right side of the barrier, as she sighted her F-11D, the diminutive Auxiliary suddenly felt a harsh sting as the weapon overheated and burned against the cloth of her balaclava and her gloves. Within a moment, the rifle's electroscope flickered out and died, but not before the red-text of the electronic warning notice partially covered her sight picture of her macroscope, indicating that the weapon was spontaneously overheating.

Almost immediately, Chandana knew that something was wrong.

Within a moment, the rifle turned into a furnace within her grip. The building heat quickly began to singe through her gloves and burned her hands to the skin in the process. Visibly, there was no external damage or indication of overheating on the weapon to indicate that something had gone wrong, but Chandana realized that she had to get the rifle as far away from her position as possible.

As the gigantic Cathar circled to her position, Chandana did the last thing that she expected to do with any rifle.

She threw it, towards him.

The small rifle arced through the air, on a course to land on the ground as close to the Cathar's legs as possible. The lion would see the rifle as it flew in the air towards him, but he would have little time to avoid the ensuing detonation of intense plasma energy even if he anticipated the coming danger, since the impact on the ground unsettled the weapon's already compromised power cell and tibanna gas storage chamber enough to yield an immediate explosion.

As the weapon left her hands, before Chandana could lower herself back into cover, the Cathar's .48 caliber slug struck her directly in the left plasteel shoulder pad, which sent her sprawling to the ground in apparent and merciless pain. Although the bullet had failed to penetrate the material, the bone underneath felt broken or at least severely bruised from the shock of the kinetic impact. However, there was no doubt that the shoulder was severely damaged.

Stepping around the corner the Cathar glared at the humaniod through his armored visage. It seemed that there was something wrong with her weapon, it must of been malfunctioning. Jahan knew this as he was adjacent to her and thus his armor was affecting her equipment. Letting out a Audible chuckle the Cathar paused watching the blaster get thrown at him only to make a clank of a noise off his armor and rest to the sand with a rattle. Part of himself wondered if his opponent knew why this was happening and if they knew the weapon was still operational... just not near him.

The weapon itself was hot and he could feel some heat irradiate from it. Suddenly the weapon just blew. Light shined vibrantly next to them both. The explosion of plasma covered his armor and branching out also more in the area briefly. Knocked on his butt the Cathar shook his head. Body was steaming and smokey. The blast causing rib fractures from the sheer force.

With a shrug Jahan aimed his .48 caliber slugthrower from seated position at [member="Chandana Kay"] and gave the pistol a simple double tap. *Crack* Crack!*

Chandana emerged relatively unscathed by the explosion of her weapon since she had thrown it clear from her position. She only felt the ensuing shockwave of heat from the explosion as she massaged her injured shoulder left shoulder. With her healthy right arm, Chandana leveraged her weight over the top of the barrier in a single graceful motion just as the wounded Cathar aimed his massive revolver at her. One of the shots grazed her left thigh as she vaulted over the top of the durasteel barrier, but the other missed completely, since Chandana had escaped from the lion's line of sight by the time the second shot went off.

Because of the adrenaline flowing through her veins, Chandana did not yet process the pain from the slugthrower on her thigh.

Seeking to capitalize on the cathar's downed state and ruined armor, Chandana briefly popped up from behind the barrier for only enough time to loose a chakram which was aimed for the lion's hips.
