User blog:Alockwood1/Bruce Campbell (My Name is Bruce) Versus Shaun Riley (Shaun of the Dead)

What happens when a well-known B-Movie actor, who has fought a Chinese God, comes across an electronic store employee while on a tour in England, during an outbreak of Zom-Don't use that Word!- um, creatures? When these two Horror-Comedy warriors collide, one will be victorious, and the other will be the laughingstock.

Bruce Campbell
Bruce is a B-Movie actor with a career that's practically hit and miss, mostly miss. One day, he get's kidnapped by Jeff, his biggest fan, who asks him to save his hometown of Gold Lick. Thinking it to be some sort of PR gig, Bruce agrees to be the Hero of the "movie", that is until he finds out that the creature, a Chinese God named Guan Di, is actually real, and retreats, killing several townsfolk in the process. After retreating, and running away from town, Bruce gets a call from Jeff, who reveals that he'll face Guan Di, as he was the one that accidentally released him. Reluctantly, Bruce returns to Gold Lick, and, with help from Jeff and his mother, defeats the creature.

Bruce's Weapons
Bruce Campbell faced Guan Di with the following:

Rifle- Marlin 336C Lever Action Rifle- Marlin's answer to the Winchester Model 1894. Fires a .30-30, and holds 8 rounds in the tube. It ejects the shell casing out the side, allowing the option of a telescopic sight, not that Bruce used one.

Handgun- AMT Hardballer Longslide- based off of the M1911. Semi-Auto, holds 7 .45ACP rounds in a mag.

Long Melee- Guandao- This is, basically, the Chinese version of the Naginata, or a funky-looking Halberd thing.

Medium Melee- Baseball Bat- an improvised club, more commonly associated with one of America's favorite pastimes.

Short Melee- K-Bar Knife- fashioned using one of the world's best designs for knives.

Explosives- Dynamite- a highly useful explosive, that can use either a lit fuss or an electronic one.

Shaun Riley
(Shaun's last name is on his DJ stuff- looked it up on IMDb) Shaun was working a dead end job, and had no ambition in his life, past going to the Winchester practically every night. He had a poor relationship with his stepfather, and his girlfriend had dumped him. However, when Zom- Don't say that Word!- um, creatures show up, Shaun finds himself leading a group of survivors, consisting of his best friend, his now ex-girlfriend, two of his ex-girlfriend's friends, his mother, and his stepfather, heading towards the Winchester, on the biases that it was much safer than their homes. Along the way, Shaun makes peace with his stepfather, just before the man dies of a wound, and hooks back up with his, once again, girlfriend, just as practically everyone gets killed after her friends cause the zombies to enter the pub. Thankfully, the pair manage to escape to freedom, and safety, when elements of the British Army show up.

Shaun's Weapons
Shaun faced zom- Don't say that Word!- um, creatures, with the following:

Rifle- Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy" Rifle- the successor to the Henry Rifle, fires .44 R.F. rounds, and holds 15 in the tube.

Handgun- Beretta 92FS- Semi-Auto. 9mm, 15 rounds in the mag.

Long Melee- Child's Tennis (swingball) Pole- while meant for playing a game, the end that can be stuck in the ground allows this to be used as an improvised spear.

Medium Melee- Cricket Bat- the cousin to the baseball bat. The game is mostly played in Europe, thus the cricket bat is as common there, as the baseball bat is in America.

Short Melee- Glass Bottle- I guess the Schnapps was expired. Hopefully, the alcohol will disinfect the cuts.

Explosive- Molotov Cocktail- When you're stuck in a place full of flammable spirits, making a cocktail is easy, if you know how to do it.

X-Factors
Alright, these guys aren't your average fighters- five bucks says that the NotLD Survivors (1969) could beat them. Still, there are those factors that might make, or break, them.



Killer Instinct
Who is better at killing their foes?

Bruce
Let's face it, this guy took on the Chinese God of War and survived. That being said, he did, accidentally, kill a number of people, especially as he ran away the first time he saw the God of War, and realized that it was real, and not part of a movie gig.

Shaun
This guy fought a number of the undead. Now, while he's not a hardened killer, the undead included those he knew, like the local pub owners, his mother, his flatmate, and others.



Intelligence
How smart are these two?

Bruce
For the most part, this guy thought that Guan Di's Ghost was just some movie Gig thing. That being said, when he came back for round 2, Bruce did have something of a plan, which was to trap the creature in the mine.

Shaun
While initially oblivious to the zom - Don't say that word! - um, creatures, Shaun did come up with a reasonably intelligent plan - take those he cared about to a place that could be fortified.

Explanations
1. Killer Instinct - This is Even. Neither of these guys are hardened killers. Bruce defeated the Chinese God of War, but he also accidentally killed a bunch of people. Shaun never fought the living, but a number of the zom- (DON'T SAY THAT WORD!) - um, creatures, had once been people he'd known, like his mother.

2. Intelligence - Shaun has this. He might not have noticed the zom- Um, Creatures, for the first "15 minutes of the Apocolypse", but he did come up with a good plan to protect his friends. Bruce on the other hand took Half of the movie thinking he was to play a part in a movie, before he realized that "This isn't a movie!" However, after his initial cowardnice, he does come up with a good plan, to save Jeff - His #1 Fan.

3. Leadership - Shaun has this. He actually lead his friends. Bruce deserted his allies, once things became "real".

4. Logistics - Bruce has this one. His allies include the owner of a Gun Store, who supplied him with firearms. Shaun had to make due with found objects, and was lucky to find an actual firearm, which was loaded.

5. Quality of Followers - Bruce has this, as most of his allies know how to use weapons. Shaun's friends do not have much experiance.

Battle Situation
In this battle, Bruce will be accompanied by 4 residents of Gold Lick, who will be known as Kelly, Frank, Dirt Farmer, and Mayor. Shaun will have his friends, Liz, Ed, Dianne, and David.

Voting Rules
Give me decent weapons edges, or a nice paragraph of 10, or more, sentences in length. References to Hot Fuzz will get you killed by the Neighborhood Watch Alliance, and likewise, references to Army of Darkness will summon the Deadites. Have fun.

Voting will end on December 13.
