This was a bad idea.
Ebony looked around the large coliseum. It was empty, and the sun was beginning to set down towards her right - it would soon be low enough for the whole arena to be shrouded by shadow. She felt open and exposed with no cover to hide behind. The rough sandy and dirty floor had already left a few marks against her black boots, yet she'd only just walked in through the entrance; she dreaded what they'd look like after the fight.
The fight... What do I do? Ebony hadn't participated in anything like this before. She'd trained and practised fighting. But nothing real. Nothing where anyone could properly get hurt. Nothing where she was faced with actual people.
And those people were talking. Just talking to each other, and occasionally glancing at her. She looked towards her partner. Her teammate. They hadn't spoken before, maybe they should now. Maybe they could even be friends.
Slowly, Ebony walked towards him, straightening her cloak and shirt as she did so. Small specs of sandy dirt flicked up in the air behind her feet, creating a cloud that sat on the still air.
"Umm... Hello?"
The swordsman turned his head towards her quickly, shaggy blond hair majestically flowing in the wind. She thought it looked dumb and stifled a slight laugh.
"What." He stated the word as if it wasn't a question. Although Ebony assumed he meant it as one.
Raising her palm up to her face, and slowly waving it sideways in time with her answer, Ebony spoke. "My name is Ebonywood Hellscythe." She paused, looking at his blank face. "But you can call me Ebony."
He sighed. "Hello, Ebony. I'm Dane. Nice to meet you."
Ebony blinked and hid her head further under her hood as he reached out with a hand for her to shake. Trying to make an excuse to avoid him suffering the same fate as Vulre, she lightly slapped it, making a high five motion.
He laughed, and she smiled at the happiness Dane displayed. She liked it when people were happy.
Abruptly, the chuckling stopped. "Alright. Team talk. Tell me what you can do? Got and range? Melee? I can't plan for what I don't know."
"Umm... I can cast spells...?"
Dane frowned. "There are a bunch of spells. I need to know what kind, kiddo. Explosive, homing, controllable, defensive stuff, supporting stuff, and good old energy bolts. Y'know. The good stuff."
"Oh... umm. I can cast an 'energy bolt' one. And make it go boom! And chase people."
Dane paused, as though thinking. "What about melee? How strong are ya?" Ebony started to reply but he cut her off. "Eh, I'll find out eventually. Let me take the front, but if you've got a sword or whatever get it ready."

Quote:Site said it was 487 words. You can do a second intro post if you want to interact with my characters.
Large empty arena (same as the DA one). Evening (could be shady or dark by the later fight posts).
Ebony is just about to summon her scythe. Phrase is probably going to be (if you wanna write it). "Forces of the darkness, stand by my side. Grant me a weapon, lest I have to hide."
Non-canon Ebony is a tad more confident. She'll hit with the blunt end of her scythe and use air spells. Nothing lethal or highly damaging.
Dane is gonna go sword and shield and rush you guys with his totally sick sword skills, probably sidestepping so one of you stays in the way of the other while Ebony's knockback keeps him from properly being 2v1'd.
Or, do another intro post. You can talk to my guys and rp them now. If the fight is properly starting, copy past the quote I posting in the OOC thread with all the fight rules and stuff.
