Frog eyes and chicken feet (Anyone)

OoC: I'm bored so have decided to create another RP! Using Nathan I guess and let's say two more people are welcome to join.

BiC: Nathan walked uncertainly through the village. What seemed like every inhabitant on the tiny town was staring at him and his strange attire. I should be staring at them, he thought. Each person was garbed in nothing but a single brown robe that hung loosely from all but the tallest frames. "Leave this place!" cried an eerie looking old woman clinging to her granddaughter's hand. "Evil stalks these lands!"

"I'll take my chances," Nathan replied, retrieving his pistol from its holster. The old woman tutted in disapproval but soon walked off along with the rest of the onlookers. A pale sun hung solemnly in the sky, only aiding the day's hope to be miserable and cold. He walked a little further through the village, taking care not to make eye contact with the superstitious denizens. None stopped to hinder him, but then again nobody offered food or help.

Nate had been travelling for days now; looking for adventurers or explorations to partake in. So far he hadn't had much luck, but an evil aura sounded promising. The hamlet soon reached an end but Nathan continued trudging onwards. He intended to find the "evil that stalks these lands", and kill it. Perhaps then the inhabitants of the village would be a little more welcoming.

As soon as the town ended the countryside swerved upwards, leading towards a few dim caves hollowed out from the steep hills. Sensing adventure, Nate picked up the pace and started heading towards what looked like the biggest of the four caves. He ripped a branch from a nearby tree and electrocuted it from the skies. A burst of flame appeared as Nathan walked into the dank cavern. There was a strong smell of rotting flesh, but that wasn't what got Nate's attention.

There was no need for the torch so Nathan cast it aside. Light was provided by an immense shining jewel sitting elegantly on a pedestal at the far side of the room. "This is more like it," Nate said to himself. "But no doubt there will be competition for something like this. Nathan reached out and grabbed the crafted emerald.

The bounty hunt had begun.

OoC: Hopefully this'll go far...all the other RPs I tried got ditched by their creators. Here goes- and a link to my character is in the sig. And just call Zer[0] 2.0 "Z." I'll get back on it tomorrow, or ASAP. Gotta go!

OoC: Wonderful! You look like a fun opponent so I look forward to your post. In the mean time though I'll give you a gift:

A lovely new link! Simply remove the asterik and it should work fine.

Z scanned the quaint town, spying the streets from the clock tower. A faint breeze rustled his hair. “Initiate scan for any life.”

<MINIMAL LIFE SIGNS DETECTED…>

“Continue?” Z prompted.

<…LARGE POWER SOURCE DETECTED. MINOR RADIOACTIVITY. >

“Can you give me an analysis?” The computer chimed a negative reply. “Guess I’ll have to move in closer. Not exactly my idea of stealth. But…computer, how long will a cloak last?

Z took in the sea air and sunlight for a moment, eyeing the direction of the mysterious energy source. <APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES, > the computer replied. “Fine. I’ll sneak up on the annoyance and find out the value of that source.”

His visor flipped down, and with a silent hum, the air started to shimmer around his frame. Within seconds, another hum sounded, and he disappeared into the balmy air. Z leaped forward, and landed on the cobblestone road. He rose, and leapt again, rappelling off the stone on either side of the path that wound around the village, and into the hillside. Soon, the stone disappeared on the left, and with one final leap, he landed in front of the cave.

“Hmmm.”

He moved forward, and scanned the darkness. His sensors flicked on, readouts scrolling across the HUD. The display ignited; the light from the crystal flooded his view.

“Bye-bye.” He switched to a light filter, and drew one of his pistols. He aimed squarely at the boy’s head, not caring about who he might be, or who he really was. He fired- and at that moment, learned that there were those almost as gifted as he. An electrical charge diverted the blaster bolt at the last moment, and it careened into the wall, showering the boy with dust. He turned around.

“Hello boy,” Z snarled. He took aim at the boy’s stomach, as a cable slipped out from Z’s arm and into the pistol’s hilt. “You’ve got three options, which is more than I usually give.” “A- Give me the crystal (which his HUD had identified as useful) and live. B- Don’t, and get vaporized. C- Give me a reason to do neither.”

“Where are you?” the boy stammered.

“Not important. Make a choice. Now. Or we go with B.”

<CLOAK ACTIVE INDEFINITELY UNTIL SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE, AT WHICH- >

“Shut up.”

"And boy- now."

I reserve the spot with Exin, but I can't get to it right now..

OoC: Hellooo? Is anyone going to post here again? Or is this going to die?

OoC: Mwah! I am sorry for the wait and mediocrity of my post.

IC:

“Isn’t there some kind of option that involves me taking the crystal and living?” Nathan replied smarmily. “I rather like it. Plus, living is one of my favourite pastimes.”

“You’ll pay for your insolence, boy!” shouted the cyborg. Apparently he had sided with B as Nate could see the gun getting ready to fire. He just managed to unsheathe his sabre in the cave and positioned it resting on Z’s shoulder.

“Maybe now I’ll have a little more leverage .” he retorted.

Z replied by bringing out his own weapon. The futuristic blade shone with malice. Nathan had never seen anything like it and allowed himself a brief moment of gaping. “That is so cool!” he cried, forgetting his hard man façade.

“Enough with the sword, boy! Now it seems you are unwilling to hand over the jewel, so I must take it from you.”

Nathan swung fiercely at the giant’s torso: the highest part of the cyborg he could reach. Z parried the blow with incredible strength, sending Nate stumbling backwards. He quickly recovered though, and stabbed out viciously. Z sidestepped and lunged at the boy with an altogether different tactic than he was ready for. Abandoning hand-to-hand, Nate brought out his pistol. He shook it briefly to ensure the deadly passage of bullets, and then pulled the trigger. The tiny missiles blasted their way at the robot before embedding themselves in its complex functions. Z gave out an inhuman cry of pain and unsheathed his own form of gun.

It loomed over Nathan’s now feeble pistol; with white-hot plasma foaming at the mouth of the gun. The robot fired, only to cry in anger as the boy narrowly missed the attack. He retaliated once again with a sword blow to Z’s legs. This one hit, causing the cyborg to stumble a little. Z quickly recovered and ran a little out of the cave; obviously wanting room to unleash his full potential. But with the silver lining comes a cloud; and Nathan now had room to play. He ran at the fierce creature and skidded under its giant legs. He then stabbed once at its back, creating a flurry of sparks in its system. Just out of badness, he also electrocuted the robot.

OoC: You kinda forgot my cloak was still active until I was exposed to sunlight, but we'll go with it anyway.

BiC:

Z stood there, the boy's blade poking shallowly into his frame.

"Why do they try?," he thought. He turned his head slowly, and stared straight into the boy's eye. "When you're done with the static electricity, do me a favor and drop dead." "I don't think so! You're not so tough, now, are ya!," the boy retorted. "I got you stuck like a pig and you still have nothing but talk!" If he only knew.

The air quivered around the two as energy began to converge on the spot, heating the armor of Z and the sword that remained planted between his shoulder blades. "You've noticed the increases in temperature, I would hope. Leave now, or I will be forced to kill you. I have wasted far too much time and energy." "I can...t-t-take it!," he stammered. "Fine. Have it your way."

The black-clad armor shifted two feet forward in a flash, and with equal speed, Z drew his blade once more. Nathan stooped, sweating, still holding his revolver and sword. "Eat lead!" He squeezed off a round, but with a slash, the blade cut the round down the middle. "Wha-?"

Z ran forward and with a sharp upper-cut, smashed the steel out of the boy's hand. "Your sword's company has been requested by the rocks," he sneered.

"You jerk! Take this!" He rushed towards the cyborg, and grabbed his arm, sending quite possibly the most electricity he had ever produced into his body. "I have been more than patient, child." "DON'T CALL ME THAT!" he screamed, sending more electricity forth. "You will kill yourself." "Stop."

"Not until you die!" "Then I will end this."

The energy field raised again, and Nathan's eyes widened as his body heated to intolerable levels.

He dropped to the ground, his energy exhausted. Z picked his frame up and slammed it mercilessly against the wall.

"It's your lucky day. You don't have to die. And you fought admirably. But your strength is no match for mine. Perhaps you will learn temperance one day." He disappeared into the cavern, and returned with the crystal. He chipped a piece of it out, before storing it in his armor.

"Here. Some help for a fellow...'soldier.' This is the last you can expect of me in the way of miniscule favor." He heated the crystal in his hand, and flew over to the boy's sword. Drawing it from the stone, he smeared the radioactive liquid crystal on the blade in a wave pattern. "This crystal, if you did not know, is highly conductive. I use it to repair some of my digital synapses, like the one you so rudely scratched in our little scuffle."

"So I got him a little," he thought.

"It will enable you to attract your sword to you, once you have learned to extend your electrical powers further. Or any thing else experimentation yields. Just don't impale yourself."

He flew off. "I will meet you again, Zer[0] 2.0." And when I do it will be different."

OoC: I find you character interesting, and plucky. I would like to battle, or perhaps partner with him again. My time's no longer limited as it once was; I think I'll start another battle.

OoC: You ended it? Although I would have liked more length the end was... not so humiliating as it could have been. When you first signed up to my battle I perceived you as one of the many n00bs that now scans the Amphitheatre. You pleasantly surprised me, and I would love to battle (or RP) with you again. I'll be sure to PM you some time.
