=Trajan vs Cao Cao= =Combatants=

Trajan
Trajan (Latin: Marcus Ulpius Nerva Traianus Augustus; 18 September 53 – 9 August 117), was Roman Emperor from 98 to 117 AD. Born into a non-patrician family in the province of Hispania Baetica, in Spain Trajan rose to prominence during the reign of emperor Domitian. Serving as a legatus legionis in Hispania Tarraconensis, in Spain, in 89 Trajan supported the emperor against a revolt on the Rhine led by Antonius Saturninus. In September 96, Domitian was succeeded by Marcus Cocceius Nerva, an old and childless senator who proved to be unpopular with the army. After a brief and tumultuous year in power, a revolt by members of the Praetorian Guard compelled him to adopt the more popular Trajan as his heir and successor. Nerva died on 27 January 98, and was succeeded by his adopted son without incident.

(Information from Wikipedia)

Cao Cao
Cao Cao (155 – 15 March 220), courtesy name Mengde, was a warlord and the penultimate Chancellor of the Eastern Han dynasty who rose to great power in the final years of the dynasty. As one of the central figures of the Three Kingdoms period, he laid the foundations for what was to become the state of Cao Wei and was posthumously honoured as "Emperor Wu of Wei". Although he is often portrayed as a cruel and merciless tyrant, Cao Cao has also been praised as a brilliant ruler and military genius who treated his subordinates like his family. He was also skilled in poetry and martial arts and wrote many war journals.

=Weapons=

Gladius (Trajan)
The Gladius, also known as the Gladius Hispaniensis (Latin: Spanish Sword) was the standard sword of the Roman Army for the 3rd century BC onwards. The was, as the name suggested, based on earlier Spanish swords the Romans encountered on their military campaigns in the region. Previously, early roman swords had looked similar to the Greek Xiphos. While different variants of the blade existed, such as the Mainz and Pompeii variants (named for places where they were found), the sword had a blade of 60-68 centimeters and a wooden grip with a cup-shaped guard and a roughly spherical pommel. The gladius could be used to for cutting and slashing attacks, however, its main purpose was as a stabbing weapon, used for thrusting while protected behind a large square shield or scutum. This was typically done in a massed shield wall formations. Later on when the Spatha sword is invented, the Gladius became obsolete.

Jian (Cao Cao)
The Jian is a Chinese straight sword dating back to about the 7th century BC. The jian has a straight roughly 70 cm blade with a short, wing-shaped guard. These blades were designed to be used as a "general purpose" weapon, capable of both cutting and thrusting. Some jian also had a tassel on the hilt to serve as a lanyard or for distracting the enemy with its rapid movements.

119's Edge
While the Jian can be used with great speed in graceful slashing attacks, for all the flashiness, I must give the edge the sheer lethality of the Gladius in combination with the scutum.

119's Edges
The two weapons are not intended to be used in the same way, so I will compare them in terms of what advantage they would convey to their given side. The ji was intended for use as a multi-purpose melee weapon. The pilum was intended as a throwing weapon designed for one-use shield-destroying and armor piercing and will easily pierce the Chinese shields and armor, whereas the ji will have a hard time getting around the scutum and chain-mail armor. Edge: Pilum.

=A Song of Fire, Ice, and Wind: Aegon I Targaryen (A Song of Ice and Fire) vs Eleonora Viltaria (Madan no Ou to Vanadis)=

=Leader: Aegon I "The Conqueror" Targaryen=

Balerion the Black Dread
Balerion the Black Dread was a dragon originally born in the ancient Freehold of Valyria, until he was brought to Dragonstone by Aegon's ancestors, escaping the volcanic destruction of Valyria. Balerion later became Aegon's steed, and was used as the vanguard of his invasion of Westeros, along with the dragons of his two sisters. Balerion was the largest of the Targaryen dragons, being large enough to swallow a mammoth whole, and possessing teeth a large as swords. Balerion's most powerful weapon, however, was his flame, which destroyed the great castle of Harrenhal, killing the castle's builder, King Harren the Black, as well destroying the armies of Houses Lannister and Gardener at the field of fire. The firepower of Balerion and the other dragons was so feared that much of Westeros surrendered without a fight.

Blackfyre
Blackfyre was Aegon Targaryen's personal sword, a bastard sword made from Valyrian steel, known for being supernaturally strong, lightweight, and retaining an edge without needing sharpening. The weapon is described as a European-style Longsword, with a double edge and a length of three-four feet.

Combat Knife
Hoyt's favored melee weapon is a large combat knife similar in appearance to an enlarged KA-BAR, with a blade of about 12 inches. The knife has a clip point and a serrated edge.

Desert Eagle
The IMI Desert Eagle is a handgun famous for firing a .50 caliber bullet, known for its stopping power. Although the Desert Eagle can deliver severe damage, it is inaccurate as heavy recoil will force the user to reacquire the target and because it is meant to be used at a close range, this inaccuracy is only increased at a distance. The weapon has a 50-meter range and a seven-round magazine.

Heckler and Koch MP5
The Heckler and Koch MP5 is a submachine gun chambered for the 9mm round. Since the 1960s, the weapon has been popular around the world and is currently a popular weapon used by law-enforcement agencies, special forces groups, and terrorists. Through the success of the G3 battle rifle, the MP5 war created and the design of the submachine gun was based upon the rifle. The weapon was immediately was adopted by 40 countries several years after it was manufactured and by numerous law enforcement and security organizations. The rate of fire, accuracy, and light-weight of the gun was what made it successful. Their are currently 22 variants of the MP5, the two most popular being the MP5A4 and the MP5K. The weapon has a range of 200 meters, a rate of fire of 800 rpm, and fires from a 30-round magazine.

=Yuno Gasai (Mirai Nikki) vs Kazuo Kiriyama (Battle Royale)= =Combatants=

Yuno Gasai
A teenage girl from Sakurami, Japan, Yuno was one of twelve individuals given a "Future Diary" by a being known as "Deus Ex Machina", a being claiming to be God. The "Future Diary" predicts some aspect of the holder's future, in the case of Gasai, the actions of her love interest and fellow "Diary Holder" Yukiteru Amano. Yuno's "Future Dairy" takes the form of her cell phone, and marks her as a contestant in a battle between 12 diary holders, the winner becoming the successor of "Deus" as God. If the diary is destroyed, the user will die. Yuno shows an obsessive, stalker-like attraction towards Yukiteru Amano, brutally attacking and killing anyone who attempts to harm him, proving herself lethal with a variety of weapons. Later in the series, unpleasant details about Yuno's past, namely that she was forced to live in a cage and given limited amounts of food by her parents after she failed to live up to their expectations of perfection. In an attempt to make her parents see the error of their ways, Yuno escaped and forced her parents into a similar situation to the one she previously was in. Instead of changing their ways, Yuno's parents starved to death in the cage. Yuno has been hiding their bodies ever since. These past trauma contributed to the mentally unstable, violent persona Yuno displays in the anime and manga.

Kazuo Kiriyama
Kazuo Kiriyama was a ninth grader in a totalitarian Japan where the government instituted a law known as the BR or Battle Royale Act, which states that a randomly selected class of ninth grade students would be sent a remote island, armed with random weapons (anything from an Uzi to a paper fan), and made to kill each other until only one survives. The students are given bomb-collars which will detonate if the attempt to escape, remove the bomb, enter a forbidden "danger zone" The reasoning for this varies between the novel, manga, and film version of the story. In the novel and manga, the act of an alternate totalitarian Japan known as the Republic of East Asia, possibly as an act of retaliation against youth protests or to use the survivors for some sort of military unit (implying the WWII either ended in Axis victory or never happened). In the film, the BR Act is a government retaliation against youth opposition during a period of high unemployment and social unrest.

In Either case, Kiriyama's backstory is similar. Kiriyama is a sociopath who suffered from brain damage as a child that made him unable to sympathise or empathize with anyone, and gave him a violent demeanor. Kiriyama volunteers to take part in the Battle Royale for his own amusement. Kiriyama is initially armed with a paper fan, but manages trick another student in to thinking he is going the ally with him, then disarms him with his bare hands and uses the contestants Uzi to kill him and several others. Kiriyama takes their weapons, arming himself with a a handgun (the model varies between the manga, novel, and film, a wakizashi, two Mk II Fragmentation Grenades. Kiriyama then goes on to kill several others, including two girls who draw attention to themselves attempt to contact the main character and ally themselves with him, a girl named Mitsuko Souma, who is every bit as sociopathic as he is, and a boy who he kills in a particularly gruesome manner, decapitating him with his wakizashi and then placing a grenade in his severed head and throwing it at Shuya Nanahara, Noriko Nakagawa, and Shogo Kawada, the three protagonists of the series. Nanahara and the others escape. Nanahara, Nakagawa, and Kawada confront Kiriyama a final time at the scene his latest murders, a building consumed in flames by the untimely explosion of a car bomb, which Kiriyama's victims intended to use to destroy the building on the island used as a forward base by the government forces in charge of the Battle Royale event. In the film, manga, and novel versions, Kiriyama is finally killed by a different person. In the film, he is killed Shoga Kawada, who shoots him with a SPAS-12 assault shotgun. He is shot with a pistol by Shuya Nanahara in the manga, and shot with a revolver by Noriko Nakagawa in the novel. =Weapons=

Combat Knife (Both)
Kazuo and Yuno both use a combat knife similar to a KA-BAR or other military fighting knife. The KA-BAR and similar combat knives are generally clipped pointed, sometimes having a serrated section of the blade for sawing, making the knife equally useful as tool and weapon.

Katana (Yuno)
The Katana is a curved, single edged sword originating from Japan, and are one of the nation's most iconic weapons. Originally used by the Samurai of Feudal Japan, the weapon has also come to be commonly known as a "Samurai Sword". The length of the blade is often somewhere between 60 to 73 centimeters in length. The metal of the blade is created from Tamahagane, a hard, high carbon steel for the cutting edge and sides, and the tough, low carbon steel for the core and back, giving the blade a hard edge, while allowing it to absorb blows without shattering. The gentle curvature of the blade adds to the weapons cutting power by focusing the force of the blow on a smaller area. This curve is achieved during quenching: the sword maker coats the blade with several layers of a wet clay slurry, putting a much thinner layer on the front of the blade. When the blade is thrust in water, the front of the blade cools more quickly and hardens, while the slower cooling in the back of the blade reduces lattice strain on the spine, causing the blade to curve backwards. The Katana was not designed at all for penetrating armor. It was designed to make quick and decisive slashes at weak points in armor. Specifically the throat. This required extreme speed and accuacy to wield. And that required an extreme amount of training and discipline to wield. It is generally considered to be one of the greatest sword designs ever.

Wakizashi (Kazuo)
The wakizashi is a short Japanese sword, similar in appearance to a shorter katana, with a curved, single-edged blade. The weapon was often carried as a pair with katana, the set of two swords being known as a daisho (literally "big-little"). The wakizashi was typically used as a secondary weapon, for close-range and indoor fighting, the blade was also used for finishing off and/or decapitating downed enemies, and sometimes committing seppeku, or ritual suicide. The wakizashi was also sometimes carried by civilians as a defensive weapon.

119's Edge
Yuno's Katana for its longer blade.

Beretta Model 92 (Yuno)
The Beretta 92 is a series of 9x19 Parabellum firing pistols developed by the Italian company, Beretta. Based around older Beretta pistols, the 92 was first produced in 1975. The pistol has been modified to accompany larger rounds like the .40 S&W and fire in three round bursts, featured in the Beretta 93R. Dozens of countries have adopted the pistol and have been used by their police departments and armies. The M9 was specifically designed for the United States military and is popularly used because of its light weight, low recoil, accuracy, and fast rate of fire. Yuno's Beretta will all be 9mm version with a 15-round magazine and a range of 50 meters.

Colt Python (Kazuo)
The Colt Python is a .357 Magnum caliber revolver formerly manufactured by Colt. The weapon has a six-round cylinder and fires in double action. For the purposes of this match, the weapon will have a six-inch barrel

119's Edge
Yuno's Beretta for its larger magazine and faster firing semi-automatic action, making up for its lower stopping power.

Smith and Wesson 36 (Yuno)
The Smith and Wesson Model 36 is a small, .38 revolver first manufactured in 1951. The weapon is a popular backup or off-duty weapon for police officers, and is sometimes used as a sidearm by undercover officers. The weapon has a five-round cylinder.

Walther PPK (Kazuo)
The Walther PP was a blowback-operated semi-automatic pistol orginating from Germany. The weapon was designed as a small concealable handgun for police issue. For the purposes of this match, Kazuo's Walther will be a .32 ACP version with a 8+1 round magazine.

119's Edge
Kazuo's Walther PPK for its faster-firing semi-automatic action and larger capacity.

Uzi (Kazuo)
The Uzi is a family of submachine-guns using an open-bolt, blowback system. The 9mm cartridge, firing weapon is one of the first to use a telescoping bolt, a bolt that wraps around the end of a barrel, which allows the magazine to be held on the pistol grip. The Uzi was adopted in the 1950s by the Israeli Defense Forces and found its place among all troops. However, it was primarily used by paratroopers and special forces. Captain Uziel Gal designed the weapon after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. It was cheap and easy to produce, making Israel's premier submachine-gun. The weapon became so popular that it found service in conflicts across the world. Nearly half of the countries in the world use the Uzi and its variants, including the United States, Germany, Kenya, and the Netherlands. The original Uzi has a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute and a magazine holding 32 9mm rounds. The weapon has an effective range of 200 meters.

MP5 (Yuno)
The Heckler and Koch MP5 is a submachine gun chambered for the 9mm round. Since the 1960s, the weapon has been popular around the world and is currently a popular weapon used by law-enforcement agencies, special forces groups, and terrorists. Through the success of the G3 battle rifle, the MP5 war created and the design of the submachine gun was based upon the rifle. The weapon was immediately was adopted by several countries several years after it was manufactured. The rate of fire, accuracy, and light-weight of the gun was what made it successful. Their are currently 22 variants of the MP5, the two most popular being the MP5A4 and the MP5K. The weapon has a rate of fire of 800 rounds per minute when firing in full auto, and range of 200 meters.

119's Edge
Yuno's MP5 for its superior range and rate of fire.

Mk II Fragmenation Grenade (Kazuo)
The Mk II fragmentation grenade was the standard issue grenade for the United States military. The weapon was known as the pineapple grenade because of the grooves cut the weapon that were at the time believed to aid in fragmentation. The Mk II had a TNT filler. The grenade was later phased out due to issues with reliability of fragmentation.

M84 Flashbang Grenade (Yuno)
A flashbang grenade is a type of grenade designed to produce a blinding flash and a deafening bang, but no shrapnel. The weapon is designed to disorient and disable, but not kill.

119's Edge
Kazuo's Mk II for its greater lethality.

Two characters, one actor, but this time, only ONE of them will end up dead!

=Boromir=

Gondorian Arming Sword
Boromir's sword was like its owner: big, broad, and powerful. To use it single-handed required someone with great strength in the arm and wrist, both of which this skilled warrior had in abundance. It is a hand and a half sword meaning Boromir could wield it with one hand allowing him to use his shield and as a two handed sword. The blade was over three inches across at its widest point; it had a flattened diamond shape in section with an equally wide fuller in order to keep the weight down. However, the fuller ended some way short if the tip, thereby keeping as much strength in the end of the blade as possible. It was sharpened on both edges and tapered actually at the tip, which meant that it would have been equally effective for slashing against lightly armoured opponents.

The guard was the same shape as that on his father’s sword, as well as those on all Third Age Gondor-made swords. The handgrip was wide like the blade, matched to Boromir's hand, and the pommel was an elegant and simple piece of steel, again large to counterbalance the weight of this warrior's blade. The scabbard was wood covered in leather that had been decorated with crisscrossing strips of leather down its length together with a steel locket and an elegant steel chape that matched the shape of the pommel. It was attached directly to the belt that had been stamped with a delicate leaf pattern repeated along its length. It may be that this was a gift from his mother. (From LOTR wiki)

Dagger
=Eddard Stark=

Ice (Valyrian Steel greatsword)
Ned Stark's primary weapon was the Valyrian steel greatsword and an heirloom of House Stark known as Ice. The weapon appears to be about five-feet long, with a design similar to a claymore, with a blade about as wide as Ned Stark's hand at the hilt. The weapon is made of Valyrian steel, which is supernaturally strong, and does not lose its edge over time. The weapon is also much lighter than a regular blade of the same size thanks to its construction. It should be noted, however, as demonstrated by multiple fights featuring Jon Snow, that a Valyrian steel can still be defended against by a normal blade- it cannot, for instance, slice straight through another blade.

WHO IS DEADLIEST.

=Link=

Kokiri Sword and Deku Shield
The Kokiri Sword is stated to be "hidden treasure" of the Kokiri, a humanoid race who retain childlike characteristics for all of their lives. Little else is known about the blade, except that it was presumably designed by, or at least for use by a child-like Kokiri, and this is reflected in its design, having a total length of about two feet given its scale in comparision to child Link. The weapon has a broad, double-edged blade and a loosely cross-shaped wooden hilt with an upward-curving guard, giving it the appearance of a scaled-down European-style blade. Link also uses a small shield apparently roughly hewn from Deku wood, which proves tough for defense against non-fire-based attacks, but will burn if hit by flames, unlike the metal plated Hylian Shield.

Technique
=Arya=

Needle (Braavosi Rapier)
Needle is the sword of Arya Stark, and is a Braavossi rapier with a length of 30 inches according to the official replica based on the prop used in the TV series. The weapon has a thin double-edged blade designed primarily rapid, accurate thrusts and a cruciform guard. The blade also has a "half-ring" hand guard to aid in parrying attacks.

Technique
Arya was trained by Syvio Forel in the Braavosi art of rapier fighting, known as the "Water Dance", which is known for its rapid fluid movements, intended to evade attacks from a less agile swordsman, such as a typical Westerossi knight. The style primarily focuses on rapid, accurate thrusting attacks, and fast dodges and parries. =X-Factors=

=An Alternate History of the Red Planet: Slaine Troyard (Aldnoah Zero) vs Oleg Lopatin (Harry Turtledove's A World of Difference)=

Slaine Troyard, the son of a Terran scientist trapped in the Vers Empire, an empire of Martian colonists, who swore to protect his childhood friend, the princess of the Vers, from a conspiracy determined to murder her.

VS

WHO IS DEADLIEST!?

=The Defender: Slaine Troyard= "That's far enough, do not touch the princess."

- Slaine, shortly before shooting Inaho Kaizuka

"I won't let you have your way... Her Highness... will smash your plans"

- Slaine, to Count Cruhteo

Slaine Troyard is a major character in the 2014 sci-fi alternate history anime Aldnoah Zero. Slaine was born on Earth as the son of a scientist, who, in 2009, joins his father in visiting the Mars-based Vers Empire. In the final re-entry to Mars, Slaine's space capsule crashes into a water-filled structure- possibly some sort of cistern given the rarity of water on Mars- associated with the (presumed) Vers Imperial palace. The capsule crashes through the cistern, into the (waterless) floor below, but the capsule is flooded. Slaine manages to open the capsule, but the slips into unconciousness before it can fully drain.

Fortunately, Slaine is rescued by Vers princess Asseylum Vers Allusia, who gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, saving his life. Slaine subsequently develops a close friendship with the princess, and possibly a romantic interest in her. Slaine considers himself deeply indebted to Asseylum, and presumably joined the Versian military in an effort to protect her. In spite of his young age, Slaine learns to expertly pilot a Versian transport aircraft or "Sky Carrier".

In 2014, Asseylum visits Earth as part of a peace envoy, but she is apparently assassinated using anti-tank missiles. Slaine, now part of the invasion fleet, sent in retaliation for the death of the princess. By this time, however, Slaine has discovered that the assassination was a plot by Count Saazbaum and other Versian noble in an attempt to drag the empire into war with Earth.

Slaine initially acts as the pilot of transport carrying Orbital Knight Sir Trillram's Kataphrakt mech, Nilokeras. The transport is attacked by a squadron of F-22 Raptors, but the energy shield covering the Nilokeras was extended to cover the Sky Carrier as well, and the missiles and cannon fire do no damage. Slaine, however, refuses to shoot his fellow Terrans, Trillram takes control of the Sky Carrier's defensive guns and shoots down all of the aircraft.

Slaine later assists Trillram in battle against United Forces of Earth militia pilot Inaho Kaizuka, who challenged Trillram in a training Kataphrakt, in spite of the fact that Nilokeras had already destroyed platoons of Terran mechs, in the Battle of Shinawara

Slaine's aircraft, however, is shot down by Inaho, who subsequently destroys the Nilokeras as well. After encountering Trillram, who escapes the destruction of his mech, Slaine shows his true colors, drawing his pistol and shooting Trillram, one of the conspirators in the assassination of the princess. During the battle, Slaine also catches a glimpse of Asseylum, who survived the assassination- a body double was killed in her place. This fills Slaine with a new determination to eliminate the conspirators and protect her.

Slaine later goes on to use the armaments of his Sky Carrier to aid Inaho Kaizuka in crippling the mech used by Vers Countess Femieanne, who is killed by Rayet Areash shortly afterwards. In spite of his assistance, Inaho fires on Slaine for a second time, Inaho stating that he viewed Slaine's Sky Carrier as an enemy aircraft.

However, when Slaine attempts to contact the Vers Emperor about the fact that his daughter is still alive, Slaine is captured by Count Cruhteo, and tortured for an extended period of time. Slaine, however, refuses to reveal anything about the princess.

Slaine is later rescued by Count Saazbaum, who admits to plotting the assassination, and tells him he only rescued Slaine out of a debt he owed to his father. He then gives him the choice to join the battle on the side of Vers or go to Asseylum's side.

Slaine remains aboard Saazbaum's spacecraft, or "Landing Castle", as it lands near the United Forces of Earth headquarters in Siberia. Slaine manages to activate the Martian Kataphrakt Tharsis, in spite of not having an Aldnoah activation factor. Slaine uses the mech in the defense against a UE attack in an attempt to push through UE forces, and get to Asseylum, who was with the UE entry team as she had the capability to shut down the Aldnoah drive powering the Landing Castle.

Slaine, however, seems to side with Saazbaum, preventing Inaho from finishing him off, however, after Asseylum deactivates the Aldnoah drive, shutting down both Slaine and Saazbaum's Kataphrakts, he comes upon Saazbaum, who draws hims pistol and shoots Asseylum, apparently killing her.

Infuriated, Slaine shoots Saazbaum several times until his pistol suffers a stovepipe jam. Saazbaum is wounded, but not killed, hit multiple times in the limbs and torso. Saazbaum points to his forehead, inviting Slaine to kil him, but does not, instead, after clearing the jam, Slaine walks over to Inaho and commands him to step back from the princess' body, referring to Inaho as "Orange", after the color of his KG-6 Sleipnir training mech. Inaho does not move away from Asseylum, only responding "Bat", referring to the bat-wing design of Slaine's Sky Carrier, and draws his sidearm. Slaine, however, shoots Inaho in the head before he can fire, apparently killing him.

The fate of Inaho and Saazbaum are unknown after this point, though it can be presumed previews of the second season that Slaine escapes the Landing Castle, which has now fallen to UE forces, and that Asseylum was not actually killed, though she appears bound to a wheelchair in the previews.

=The Target: Asseylum Vers Allusia=

Asseylum Vers Allusia (アセイラム・ヴァース・アリューシア- Aseiramu Vāsu Aryūshia?, aka Princess Asseylum アセイラム姫 Aseiramu-hime) is one of the main characters of the ALDNOAH.ZERO television series. The Princess of the Vers Empire, daughter of Gilzeria, and granddaughter of Rayregalia Vers Rayvers.

Asseylum is an idealist and pacifist. She believes in peaceful solutions and she sees the people of the Earth in a good light. Unlike many of the Martians shown so far, she seems to treat the people of Earth as equal humans. Asseylum appears to be regretful of the actions that led to the Second Earth-Mars War between the Martians and the people of Earth, yet she feels that she has the responsibility to help stop the war.

Asseylum is kind, caring, and compassionate, however she is also naive, believing that if her grandfather found out that she were still alive, that the war would end. Asseylum later realizes her naivety, and that certain people of VERS were only using her as an excuse to start a war with Earth.

Asseylum seems to also have a bold and decisive side, she is not particularly guarded around others being quickly open and friendly. Asseylum seems to prioritize the safety of others over herself, and takes her position as the Princess of VERS seriously.

Asseylum has been remarked to be a beauty.

(From Aldnoah Zero Wiki)

Vers Empire Handgun
The Standard-issue handgun of the Vers Empire is a semi-automatic pistol with a compact design and a much shorter barrel than the Glock used by the United Forces of Earth. It will be assumed that the gun has a smaller magazine, in this case, 10 rounds, similar to a Glock 26 compact. The weapon will be assumed to have comparable range stopping power to a 9mm handgun. The weapon may be prone to jamming, as it suffers a jam when used by Slaine Troyard in the final episode of the anime.

Holographic Disguise
Princess Asseylum possesses a holographic device capable of projecting an entirely new appearance on her body, including changing her clothing, hair color, and even facial features. It is not known, however, if the object will allow her to change into disguises other than the one she uses in the anime (above), but it will be assumed she can, but that it will be limited to changing her to look like another person (and not for use as active camouflage).

=The Attacker: Oleg Lopatin= Oleg Lopatin is a major character in Harry Turtledove's novel A World of Difference, in which the planet Mars is replaced by a planet closer to the Earth known as Minerva. Because of the difference in orbital position, Minerva proved able to support life. In 1976, the US Viking I probe discovered the planet was inhabited by a primitive alien race with a feudal-like society, though their technology is Neolithic, except for the fact that they also widely built structures out of ice, as the temperature never got above freezing.

This resulted in the US and USSR competing to reach the planet. Back on Earth, the second space race resulted in the perpetuation of the Cold War, further exaccerbated by the death of Mikhail Gorbachev from a stroke. In 1984, both US and Soviet missions landed on Minerva.

On board the Soviet shuttle Tsiolovsky was Oleg Lopatin, along with five others. Lopatin was a former KGB agent, and was fanatically loyal to the Soviet Union and Marxist ideals. Unlike the rest of the crew, who considered the possibility of cooperating with the Americans, Lopatin distrusted them, and openly spied on his fellow crew members. When the Russians were taken in by a Minervan domain master, Hogram of the Skarmer clan, he learned that he was planning to fight a war against the domain master supported by the Americans. In spite of the fact that Hogram was a proto-capitalist, Oleg still wished to give as much support to Hogram as possible- when Hogram forced the Russians to give one of the AK-74s on shuttle, Oleg volunteered to train the Minervans in the use of the weapon. Oleg supported the proto-capitalists, as according to the writings of Karl Marx, they were still more progressive than the US-supported feudalists of Reatur.

Oleg accompanied the army of Fralk, the grandson of Hogram, across the Ervis Gorge, out of communications range from the Tsiolovsky. There, a Minervan named Juksal killed an American astronaut, Frank Marquard. Upon returning to Skarmer fortress, Oleg realized the Soviets would be blamed Marquard's death, a situation that threatened to spiral into nuclear war.

Lopatin realized that, in order to prevent this, he had to defect to the crew of the American shuttle Athena. Oleg attempted to escape the Skarmer in the night, but he was apprehended and force to go into battle alongside Fralk, who took his AK-74 and used the weapon to kill numerous warriors of Reatur's armies near his fortress.

Oleg and Fralk were both killed when American astronaut Sara Levitt dropped an incendiary bomb from light aircraft known as the Damselfly, halting the attack.

=Weapons=

Vers Empire Handgun (Slaine)
The Standard-issue handgun of the Vers Empire is a semi-automatic pistol with a compact design and a much shorter barrel than the Glock used by the United Forces of Earth. It will be assumed that the gun has a smaller magazine, in this case, 10 rounds, similar to a Glock 26 compact. The weapon will be assumed to have comparable range stopping power to a 9mm handgun. The weapon may be prone to jamming, as it suffers a jam when used by Slaine Troyard in the final episode of the anime.

Makarov PB (Oleg)
The Makarov pistol is a Russian sidearm developed and produced in the Soviet Union. The Makarov was the standard sidearm for Soviet troops all the way until the collapse of the communist regime. Nikolai Makarov designed the weapon to replace the TT-33 pistol. Firing the 9x18mm Makarov, the pistol had a magazine capacity of eight rounds. The weapon was selected because of its simplicity and decent stopping power. Since 2003, the Makarov has been replaced by the MP-443 Grach. However, there are still a large number of these Soviet pistols on the market and are used by Russian law enforcement. More than a dozen countries still use the pistol as their side-arm of choice. The Makarov has an effective range PB variant has a built-in silencer and an effective range of 50 meters.

119's Edge
Oleg Lopatin's Makarov PB for its silencer, allowing for stealth, as well as the possible greater reliability, given the Vers pistol's possible proneness to jamming.

Vers Assault Rifle (Slaine)
The standard issue assault rifle of the Vers Imperial Forces is a bull-pup style weapon capable of fully automatic fire. The magazine capacity, caliber, and rate of fire for the weapon are unknown, but it can be assumed to be comparable to that of its Terran counterpart, in this case, a 30-round magazine, caliber somewhere between 5mm and 6mm (similar to Soviet 5.45 or NATO 5.56), and 500 meter effective range.

AK-74 (Oleg)
The AK-74 (Russian: Автомат Калашникова образца 1974 года or "Kalashnikov automatic rifle model 1974") is an assault rifle developed in the early 1970s in the Soviet Union as the replacement for the earlier AKM. The weapon fires a 5.45mm round at a rate of fire of 650 rounds per minute, with a maximum effective range of 625 meters, though it was, like most assault rifles, typically deployed at ranges of less than 400 meters. The weapon was fed from a 30-round magazine.

119's Edge
While the Vers Assault Rifle does not take advantage of Aldnoah technology, and is thus similar to Terran weapons, however, the Vers assault rifle is newer than the AK-74, and is probably lighter, and is probably as reliable as the AK, being designed on the dust-covered world of Mars. Edge: 'Slaine's Vers Assault Rifle

Rockets
NOTE: Because of the limitations of the backblast and explosion of the launcher, the weapon can only be used in courtyards and other outdoor areas- the characters may discard the weapon if it sees little use and become more a burden than a benefit.

Vers Rocket Launcher (Slaine)
The Vers Empire use a rocket launcher equipped with a large scope and trigger assembly. The weapon has a single launch tube and presumably fires a high explosive anti-tank rocket, judging from its use against enemy vehicles and mechs. The rocket does not appear to be guided, though, given the size of the scope assembly, it may be able to launch guided missiles, however, for the purposes of this match, it will fire unguided rockets.

RPG-7 (Oleg)
The RPG-7 is a Soviet-made 85mm anti-tank rocket launcher. The weapon was first delivered to the Soviet Army in 1961 and, like the AK-47 has since been widely exported during the Cold War era, and is still in the arsenal of many countries and paramilitary organization. The weapon is known for low cost, ease of use, durability and reliability. To some, it's the very symbol of guerrilla warfare. The RPG fires an 85mm HEAT rocket with an effective range of 200 meters.

119's Edge
Oleg's Vers Rocket Launcher for its superior accuracy with its scope. =X-Factors=

Explanations
In terms of combat experience, Oleg is a seasoned KGB agent, taking the edge over Slaine, who was in combat for only a short time, and the princess, who never really fought at all, and has only been in a combat zone for a short period of time. Oleg takes combat training, however, given Slaine's ability to pilot a mech and even an aircraft suggest he can't be far behind in terms of training. Princess Asseylum appears to have some martial arts training, but apart from that, nothing. In terms of brute strength, the larger Lopatin takes the edge of over the smaller Slaine, and, in particular, the princess. Oleg Lopatin is fanatically devoted to Marxist ideals, but even he tried to defect to the Americans if it meant avoiding nuclear war, meaning he was far from brainwashed. Along with that, no political ideology could match someone fighting to protect someone they love (Slaine). Asseylum gets a 90 as survival is a powerful motive, but she proves herself to prone to prioritizing the safety of those she cares about over herself.. The fight will take place in the Vers Imperial Palace, meaning Slaine and Asseylum will have the home field advantage. In terms of stealth, Oleg is a KGB agent, and has a silenced sidearm, however, even that can't beat Asseylum's holographic disguise, which can literally change her appearance. Finally, Oleg obviously wins in unarmed combat, but Slaine and the princess are both trained in martial arts, so shouldn't be too far behind. =Scenario=

=Prologue= NOTE: This is an alternate universe in terms of both series canon

Surface of Minerva, 1984
It had been two days since the American light aircraft, the Damselfly had dropped that improvised incendiary bomb that killed Fralk, and, as far as the Americans believed, KGB agent Oleg Lopatin. But Lopatin was not dead. Instead, he had been thrown away from the center of the fireball in the impact of the bomb, and survived with only superficial burns. Amazingly, his AK-74 has also survived the impact, appearing to have been thrown away from Fralk's now-charred carcass as the bomb exploded.

His retrieving the AK-74, however, was about the only thing that had gone well for Oleg since he landed on this planet. He had escaped the battlefield, but was now being chased by an army of Reatur's feudal levies. Oleg outgunned them, but there were more of them than he had ammunition, and he could not get back across the flooded Ervis Gorge to his comrades.

Now, Oleg was cornered into a cave. He could only hope that it exited somewhere... but about 100 meters down the cave, Oleg found something unlike anything he had ever seen before. It looked like a metal ring as wide as the cave was tall. To one side were a number of machines that appeared to be connected to the ring. But it was the middle of the ring that was most mysterious. It seemed to shimmer like the surface of water, but an image was clearly visible in it, but it was not the reflection of the cave. Instead, the image showed a vast desert of red-tinged rocks and dust.

Overcome by curiousity, Oleg Lopatin reached out the touch the image in the ring. His hand seemed to go through, and became visible in the image. On the hand, he could feel cool, dry air. Perhaps against his better judgement, Oleg moved his arm through the mysterious portal, before climbing through entirely, finding himself in the mysterious desert. One thing was clear, he was not on Minerva anymore...

Vers Imperial Capital, April 2013, two months since Oleg's arrival
In the last two months since he arrived on mysterious planet known as "Mars", Oleg Lopatin has been in for some serious culture shock. The locals had never heard of Minerva, but rather, claimed that this was the fourth planet from the sun, "Mars". They also claimed it was the year 2013.

To Oleg's fury, they told him the Soviet Union had fallen in 1991, and to make matters worse, this human colony on Mars was a feudalistic absolute monarchy. Apparently, in 1972, the Americans has discovered a mysterious portal to Mars on the Moon, and found an ancient alien structure there. Apparently, some scientist who now went by Rayregalia Vers Rayvers had somehow gained absolute control of the alien tech and used to subjugate the colonists and crown himself emperor. Rayvers had stepped down in favor of his son, Gilzeria, but he died in a war with the "United Earth" in 1999. Now, Rayvers was in control again, the empire was in poverty even more than before from the war, and the nobility held what little wealth there was on the desert planet- efforts to terraform the planet years before had been made, but while there was now an atmosphere with oxygen, water and other resources were scarce.

As Oleg heard more of this alien technology, this "Aldnoah" as they called it, the more it sounded like if he could kill Rayregalia and his bloodline, he could simply touch a piece of Aldnoah technology and become its new master.

The Vers Empire military consisted almost entirely infantry with little experience, except for the "Kataphrakts", Aldnoah-powered war machines that could be used only by the nobles, who spent most of their time in palaces, save for the "Orbital Knights", who were all stationed in Earth orbit, far from the Versian capital. The Vers Empire was ripe for revolution...

Vers Imperial Capital, Vers Empire, Mars, September 2013, five months since Oleg's arrival
"Workers of Vers! For decades, the Emperor and the nobility have lied to you! It is not the fault of the United Earth Government that you have nothing! While you're families struggle to survive, the nobles sit in their palaces, hiding behind the delusional belief that Aldnoah makes them gods! But soon, this facade will come crashing down! Like the Russian czar before him, Emperor Rayvers will face the People's justice for his crimes!"

As Oleg Lopatin finished speaking, the basement of the abandoned factory that was the headquarters of the Versian People's Army was filled with applause and shouting. The assembled revolutionaries raised their AK-clones- made in an underground shop, into the air. In mere days, cells of revolutionaries around the city would storm the palaces of the nobles and the bases of the inexperienced Vers infantry, overwhelm their forces, and then surround and storm the imperial palace itself.

Vers Imperial palace, October 2013
"Slaine, take Asseylum and go, I will face them", Emperor Rayregalia Vers Rayvers said, "Take the escape tunnel, hurry!"

The situation was looking bleak, in a matter of months, a communist uprising known as the Versian People's Army had rose from the woodwork, assassinated most of the nobles on Mars and overwhelmed the bases of the army. The Aldnoah-powered Kataphrakts, the pride of his empire burned, destroyed without leaving their hangars. Now, the VPA stood at the gates of his palace. Any moment now, they would overwhelm the last of the guards and break in.

"Grandfather...", Princess Asseylum Vers Allusia said through tearful eyes.

"Go!", the Emperor ordered as Slaine Troyard led the sobbing princess out of her grandfather's bedroom where the aging emperor now lay- the "emperor in the throne room was a hologram.

"Goodbye.... I'll never forget you...", The princess said as she took the last look she would ever take at her grandfather.

A few minutes after Asseylum and Slaine fled the room, the door burst to the room burst open. Emperor Rayregalia Vers Rayvers looked into the eyes of Oleg Lopatin, armed with his AK-74, and several other VPA soldiers, armed with AK-clones or captured Vers army assault rifles. As he stared down the barrels of the weapons, he looked like a man prepared to die.

"Emperor Rayregalia Vers Rayvers!", Oleg said coldly, "You are hereby sentenced to death for your crimes against the people of Mars. Do you have any last words?"

"Only that everything I did, I did to bring life to Mars", Rayvers said.

As the emperor finished his last word, Oleg's AK blazed, along with the other rifles of the VLA firing squad. As the bullets struck his chest, Rayregalia slumped over in his bed, and breathed his last.

"You men", Oleg ordered, "regroup with your unit and blockade the palace, I'll deal with the survivors... personally".

"At once, comrade", the VLA soldiers said in unison, and exited the palace, leaving Oleg to enter the hallway behind the throne, the same one that Slaine and Asseylum entered mere minutes earlier.

=Alan Wake (self-titled series) vs Michael Edwards (Eternal Darkness)= =Alan Wake= As a child, he had a fear of darkness. Alan was afraid of monsters in the dark, and would fight sleep to the bitter end out of fear. His mother gave him an old, used broken-off light-switch dubbed The Clicker. Every time he would flip the switch on it, a magical light would turn on and the monsters would vanish. Over time, he conquered his fear of darkness.

He never really knew his father and he would sit alone at playgrounds as a child, and pretend he didn't miss him. His mother had to raise him almost all of his life. At some point he met Barry Wheeler and they became close and true friends.

At one point, Alan became interested in writing. He became an avid reader of Stephen King and other horror writers, and then started writing his own stories using vivid imagination. Alan's first story, The Errand Boy, was published at a young age and he became famous after writing his next series of novels; a set of crime and suspense novels focused on a cynical Max-Payne-like cop named Alex Casey. With his lifelong friend Barry as his agent, Alan rose to becoming famous. But as he wrote more and more books, he gained a constant following of annoying fans and interfering paparazzi. He grew a temper, and then came under significant heat after he punched a journalist who wouldn't leave him alone.

At one point, Alan married a photographer named Alice. They lived together in a New York City apartment together at least as far back as three years prior to the Bright Falls incident. But as he finished his Alex Casey series, he began to suffer once more from writer's block and insomnia. There was trouble in their marriage, and Alan kept on coming home drunk from parties. The two got into many fights, with Alan constantly frustrated at his inability to write anything at all. =Michael Edwards= Michael Edwards was a Canadian industrial firefighter who, in 1991, was sent to help extinguish burning oil wells set on fire by the Iraqi troops under Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War. Edwards uses a charge of dynamite to blow out a fire by creating a powerful blast of air, however, as he does so, the dynamite detonates prematurely, killing Edward's collegues, McCormick and Patterson and causing the ground under Edwards to collapse, causing him to fall into an ancient temple to the Ancients, four mysterious extradimensional horrors older than humanity, Chattur'gha, Ulyaoth, Xellotath, and Mantarok. Edwards meets the ghost of a 15th century Italian architect named Roberto Bianchi, who was sacrificed to the Ancients centuries earlier. Bianchi gives Edwards the "essence" of one of the Ancients, the specific Ancient depends on the player's actions earlier in the game. Edwards is then attacked by a couple zombies, and quickly dispatches them with his fire axe. Nearby, Edwards finds the zombie's previous victim, a dead soldier, with a Glock 17 pistol and an (anachronistically placed) Heckler & Koch XM29 Objective Individual Combat Weapon combination assault rifle/grenade launcher. Arming himself with this heavy firepower, Edwards proceeds to shoot his way through hordes of the minions of an Ancient specified by the player's actions earlier in the game until he finds the Tome of Eternal Darkness, a mysterious book that chronicles previous people's encounters with Ancients, learning of the evil that lurks in the temple, as well as a number of powerful magic spells for healing wounds, supercharging weapons etc. Edwards later gets a hold of a C-4 charge and some blasting caps, and is instructed my a mysterious disembodied voice to set the charges in a room centered around a bridge of a deep pit. Edwards realizes that this will bring down the whole temple, and uses and "Enchant Item" spell he discovered in the Tome to supercharge the C-4, before setting the bomb. Edwards escapes before the bomb detonates, destroying the temple and killing all of the monsters within. Edwards later sends the "essence" and possibly some other items depending on the player's action to the home of Edward Roivas, where essence falls into the hands of Edward's daughter Alex, who uses it in the final battle of the game. =Weapons=

Beretta 92 (Alan)
The Beretta 92 is a series of 9x19 Parabellum firing pistols developed by the Italian company, Beretta. Based around older Beretta pistols, the 92 was first produced in 1975. The pistol has been modified to accompany larger rounds like the .40 S&W and fire in three round bursts, featured in the Beretta 93R. Dozens of countries have adopted the pistol and have been used by their police departments and armies. The M9 was specifically designed for the United States military and is popularly used because of its light weight, low recoil, accuracy, and fast rate of fire. Alan's Beretta has a 10-round magazine, the smallest available for the weapon, and is chambered for 9mm.

Glock 17 (Mike)
The Glock handgun series is one of the most modern firearms available on the market to civilians, coming into service in the 1980's. It fires the standard 9x19mm Parabellum round, but can fire other rounds, depending on the variation of the gun. It is widely used by police and paramilitary forces and is popular with noncombatants due to its ease of use and handling. Mike's Glock is a 9mm (Glock 17) with a 17-round magazine.

119's Edge
Mike's Glock 17 for its superior capacity.

M16A1 (Alan)
The M16 (officially Rifle, Caliber 5.56 mm, M16) is the United States military designation for the AR-15 rifle adapted for semi-automatic, three-round burst and full-automatic fire. Colt purchased the rights to the AR-15 from ArmaLite, and currently uses that designation only for semi-automatic versions of the rifle. Alan's M16 is an A1 model with a non-standard 25-round magazine. The M16 has a rate of fire of 750-900 rpm and a range of 500 meters for a point target and 800m for an areas target.

XM-29 OICW KE Module (Mike)
The XM29 OICW (Objective Individual Combat Weapon) was a series of prototypes of a new type weapons combining an assault rifle with a grenade launcher that fired 20 mm HE airbursting projectiles. Ultimately the project was shelved in favor of the Heckler & Koch XM8 and Heckler & Koch XM25, of the two only the XM25 was continued. The KE (kinetic energy) module of the OICW consisted of a Heckler and Koch G-36 assault rifle, a 5.56mm weapon with a range of up to 800 meters, and a rate of fire of 800 rpm. The weapon was fed with a 30-round magazine and carried a 6x scope with laser rangefinder and thermal and night vision settings.

119's Edge
Mike's OICW KE Module for its superior optics, range, and magazine capacity.

AA-12 (Alan)
The Auto Assault-12 (AA-12), originally designed and known as the Atchisson Assault Shotgun, is a shotgun developed in 1972 by Maxwell Atchisson. The current 2005 version has been developed over 18 years since the patent was sold to Military Police Systems, Inc. The original design was the basis of several later weapons, including the USAS-12. The weapon is selective fire, operating as a semi-automatic, or in fully automatic mode at 300 rounds per minute. It is fed from either an 8-shell box magazine, or a 20- or 32-shell drum magazine. Alan's AA12 has an 8-shell magazine firing buckshot.

XM-29 HE Module
The XM29 OICW (Objective Individual Combat Weapon) was a series of prototypes of a new type weapons combining an assault rifle with a grenade launcher that fired 20 mm HE airbursting projectiles. Ultimately the project was shelved in favor of the Heckler & Koch XM8 and Heckler & Koch XM25, of the two only the XM25 was continued. The HE (high explosive) module consisted of the 20mm "smart grenade" launcher, with rounds designed to detonate at the distance set using the range finder, or simply to explode on impact. The weapon has an effective range of about 500 meters, with the projectiles trajectory acting more like that of a light cannon shell than a conventional grenade launcher, with the round flying on a straight path.

Kouta Hirano
Kouta Hirano was a somewhat overweight gun otaku attending Fujimi High School, until the outbreak of a zombie virus forced him to flee the school along with Saya Tayagi, a girl in his year. Kouta armed himself with a nailgun he modified into a crude handgun, making his escape along with Saya, soon joined by fellow students Takashi Komuro, Saeko Busujima, Rei Miyamoto, and school nurse Shizuka Marikawa. The group of survivors made their way to the home Marikawa, which she shared with her roommate, an SAT sniper named Rika Minami. Kouta got a hold of an AR-10 and an Ithaca shotgun and proved highly skilled at killing the undead from a range. Kouta revealed that he befriended a Blackwater Mercenary during a trip to the U.S, who taught him how to shoot.

AR-10T
The AR10T DMR is a semi automatic rifle firing 7.62mm rounds from a 10 or 20 round magazine. The 7.62mm round has a muzzle velocity of about 850 meters per second. While I could not find data on the range of the AR-10T, but the similar M110 Semi Automatic Sniper System has an effective range of 800 meters. Kouta's AR10T is equipped with a high magnification scope.

Heckler and Koch MP5FSK
The Heckler and Koch MP5 is a submachine gun chambered for the 9mm round. Since the 1960s, the weapon has been popular around the world and is currently a popular weapon used by law-enforcement agencies, special forces groups, and terrorists. The MP5SFK is a semi-automatic only version of the MP5, with the same 32-round magazine, intended for law enforcement use in situation where greater firepower than a handgun is required, but full auto fire would result in inaccurate fire, potentially hitting bystanders. Kouta's MP5SFK has a suppressor, red dot sight, tactical flashlight, and UMP-Style stock.

Luger P08 w/stock and extended mag
The Pistole Parabellum 1908 or Parabellum-Pistole (Pistol Parabellum) — popularly known as the Luger — is a toggle-locked recoil-operated semi-automatic pistol. The design was patented by Georg J. Luger in 1898 and produced by German arms manufacturer Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) starting in 1900; it was an evolution of the 1893 Hugo Borchardt designed C-93. The first Parabellum pistol was adopted by the Swiss army in May 1900. In German army service it was succeeded and partly replaced by the Walther P38 in caliber 9x19mm.

The Luger is well known from its use by Germans during World War I and World War II, along with the interwar Weimar Republic and the post war East German Volkspolizei. Although the Luger pistol was first introduced in 7.65×21 mm Parabellum, it is notable for being the pistol for which the 9×19 mm Parabellum (also known as the 9 mm Luger) cartridge was developed.

The Luger used by both Kouta and Saya Takagi in the manga is a Dutch Artillery Model, with a long-barrel, 32-round drum and stock attachment, which the give the weapon an increased effective range, up to about 100 meters.

Ann Matsura
The daughter of a rock star and a ceramic artist, Ann's parents were both staunch pacifists. When Ann had a falling out with her family, she left home and enrolled in Eastern Private Defense Academy in an effort to distance herself from them. Ann generally was satisfied with life at the academy, proving herself to be a skilled markswoman, an attribute that would prove useful against the Trident mercenaries. Ann's mother is a foreigner, thus her English name. Ann has known Youji Takatsu since childhood, and in spite of their occasional arguing, are actually close friends, and by the end of their ordeal together, possibly more.

Walther WA-2000
The Walther WA-2000 is a semi-automatic 7.62mm sniper rifle with a range of 700 meters. The weapon has a five-round magazine. Because of high production costs and sales shortfalls, only 176 were ever produced, and surviving rifles are routinely at over $20,000.

Steyr TMP
The Steyr TMP is an Austrian machine pistol, for the purposes of this match, in 9mm with a 30-round magazine. The weapon has a range of 100 meters and rate of fire of 850-900 rpm.

Heckler and Koch USP
The Heckler & Koch USP is a semi-automatic pistol made by the famous Heckler & Koch. The weapon was designed primarily for US law enforcement agencies and for the civilian market. The pistol is short recoil operated and fires the 9x19 Parabellum, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, and the .45 ACP. For the purpose of this match, Ann's will be .45 version with a 12-round magazine.

Claymore Mines (already placed)
The M18 Claymore mine is a remote-detonated directional mine filled with ball bearings that, when detonated, shoot out in one direction, like a giant shotgun blast. The weapon has an effective range of about 50 meters. Ann will have placed them in two lines, one about 50 meters from the entrance, and one inside the structure, near the stairs up the observation deck. While Ann has placed the mines, any survivor can detonate them.

Shino Asada
'''Note: Shino will have her real life appearance, but she will be physically strong enough to lift the Hecate without too much difficulty (not quite as easily as she does in the virtual reality, for instance, she won't be able to jump with it). Shino's health will follow "real world" logic, i.e. a single bullet wound in the right place, regardless of caliber, has the potential to be fatal).'''

Shino Asada is a major character in the second season of Sword Art Online, and a player of the virtual reality MMOFPS Gun Gale Online. Shino played the game in order to overcome her phobia of both firearms and, to a lesser extent, men, stemming from an incident in her past. When she was in fifth grade, Shino and her mother were caught up in a bank robbery, where a man armed with a Type 54 handgun threatened the bank teller and shot him when he attempted to a sound an alarm. The man then took Shino's mother hostage. Shino's mother had been psychologically weak since she saw her husband and Shino's father die in a car accident two years earlier. Since then, Shino had become protective of her mother, and attacked the gunman, biting his hand and causing him to drop the handgun. Shino then seized the weapon and shot the man three times with his own gun, killing him with the third shot to the head at point blank range. When Shino turned to her mother, she simply stared in shock and horror at the whole event, and Shino realized she literally hand blood on her hands.

For years afterward, Shino was plagued by nightmares about the event, where her attacker returned from the dead and murdered her, as well as the previously mentioned phobia of guns, to the point where she could suffer a panic attack or even collapse simply by seeing a gun in a film or photograph. This made her a frequent target of bullies, who realized they could cause her to seize up simply by acting as though they are pointing a gun at her. Shino was introduced to VR gaming by Shinkawa Kyouji, who suggested it as a means of desensitizing her from her fear of firearms. Shino, under the screen named Sinon, became one of the most skilled players in Gun Gale Online, armed with her PGM Hecate II anti-material rifle.

In late 2024, Shino faces Kazuto "Kirito" Kirigaya in the "Bullet of Bullets" tournament, and ties with him for the winner, as well as aiding him in his investigation of the "Death Gun", a mysterious player who wielded as weapon supposedly capable of killing a person in real life from within the game. It is later revealed that the "Death Gun" murders are the work of Kyouji and Shouichi Shinkawa, one of whom would control the avatar of the character, and the other would kill the person in real life through the injection of a paralytic directly into the heart. Kyouji attempts to murder both Kirito and Shino in this manner after Shino refuses his advances, and almost succeeds with Kirito, if not for him still wearing a metal electrode from while he was in the VRMMO from within a hospital under close monitoring, on his chest, which blocked the injector. Shino then subdues Kyouji and both Kyouji and Shouiji are subsequently arrested for their crimes.

PGM Hecate
The PGM Hecate II is a French bolt-action anti-materiel rifle chambered for the .50 BMG round. The weapon has a much longer range than a conventional sniper rifle, up to 1800 meters or more, and is effective against lightly armored targets such as trucks, jeeps, helicopters, parked aircraft, radar sites, etc. The Hecate, however, is also very heavy, weighing it at over 14 kilograms, or over 30 pounds when loaded and equipped with a scope. The Hecate has a seven-round magazine.

Glock 18 Select Fire
In the anime, Shino uses a Glock 18 selective fire handgun, capable of semi or full auto fire, as a sidearm. The Glock 18 is a selective fire version of the Glock pistol, capable of semi or fully automatic with a rate of fire of up to 1100-1200 rpm. The weapon has a muzzle velocity of 375 meters per second and an effective range of 50 meters. The Glock 18 fires 9mm ammunition from a 33-round magazine.

Type 54 Pistol
The Type 54 "Black Star" pistol is a Chinese copy of the Tokarev named for the Black Star engraved on the grip. The Tokarev TT-33 was a Soviet-designed 7.62 x 25mm semi-automatic handgun designed in 1930 as a replacement for the old M1895 Nagant revolver. The weapon saw service in the Second World War with the Red Army and by various other factions afterwards. The weapon is still in used by various factions around the world even though it was replaced by the Makarov in Soviet service starting in 1952. The weapon fires from a seven-round magazine and has a range of about 50 meters.

The Survivor's Home Base/Scenario
The three survivors will be holed up the National Maritime Museum on Odaiba Island in Tokyo, a large boat-shaped structure shaped like a ship with a clear area around it on all sides. Specifically, they will be on top of the observation tower. They will be well-stocked, with enough ammunition, food, water, generator fuel etc to hold out, as well as a few other items, such as flashlights, cooking equipment, camping gear etc. They will also have a generator rigged to power an old ship's floodlight (they are in a maritime museum) for use in spotting zombies at night, as well as a few flashlights, but will not have night vision equipment. The lower floors and entrances of the museum will be fortified with boards, shelves, and stacked items, which will hold for a while, but not stand up to repeated attack. The final line of defense be a barricade similar to the others on both the top and bottom of the staircase up to the observation deck. Holes will have been broken into the windows for firing ports and venting generator exhaust. Also, there will be a bunch of potential melee weapons such as axes and hammers in the home base at the top of the tower.

The area is about 600 meters from a shopping mall to the east, 400 meters from the cluster of buildings to the NE, 150 meters from a cluster of buildings to the south and southeast, and 350 meters from a tunnel running into a channel separating the island from the mainland to the west. These are the most likely directions the Crossed will come from, and from all of them, they will have cover along the route. The Crossed my also attack in boats from the channel to the west.

In three days time, a JSDF helicopter will come to rescue any survivors. It will land on either the helipad of museum ship moored next to the museum itself, or in a nearby parking lot. The helicopter will be equipped with miniguns on pintle mounts to cover the vehicle while landed and to support the survivors if possible. =The Crossed= The Crossed story follows survivors dealing with a plague that causes its victims to carry out their most evil thoughts. Carriers of the virus are known as the Crossed due to a cross-like rash that appears on their faces. This contagion is primarily spread through bodily fluids, which the Crossed have used to great effect by treating their weapons with their fluids, as well as through other forms of direct fluidic contact such as rape and bites, assuming the victim lives long enough to turn. A major difference between the Crossed and other fictional zombie or insanity-virus epidemics (i.e. in the film 28 Days Later), is that while the Crossed are turned into homicidal violent psychopaths, they still retain a basic human-level of intelligence: thus they are still capable of using firearms, motor vehicles, tools like bows and arrows, and of setting complex traps.

The contagion spread across the entire world, with the Crossed killing, raping, engaging in cannibalism and maiming for fun, with governments and military overwhelmed; friends and family butcher each other with anything they lay their hands on, and cities are turned into vast charnel houses. Much of the Middle East is wiped out when Israel deploys nuclear weapons. The last organized act by the US government is to shut down as many nuclear power plants as possible and then kill the nuclear scientists & technicians to prevent them from reactivating the plants. One by one the remaining military bases are overrun. Soon human civilization is all but gone, and mankind is an increasingly endangered species.

Composition

 * Total Number: 500


 * Melee Only (axes, hammers, crowbars, chainsaws, swords, etc): 300


 * Non-Firearm Ranged (include bows, crossbows, hand grenades, molotovs etc): 100


 * Total Firearm: 100
 * Short range Firearm (pistols, shotguns, SMGs, dangerous to ~100 meters): 100
 * Mid-Range Firearm: (hunting rifles, assault rifles etc, dangerous at up to ~400 meters): 40
 * Long Range: (sniper rifles, dangerous to about 1000 meters): 10


 * No Crossed will have heavy weapons like rocket launchers etc.


 * Potential vehicles include civilian cars, trucks, construction equipment, speedboats, ferries etc. There will be NO Crossed in military vehicles or aircraft, and they will not be able to operate any boats or ships larger than a small ferry or waterbus.


 * Note: The Crossed will not attack in one massive horde. Initially, they will come in small groups, and the survivors will be able to delay the arrival of the hordes by killing off these "scouting parties" before they can lead more Crossed to their position, however, eventually, they will draw the attention of more Crossed, and will have to face hordes. The helicopter rescue will be a particularly large draw event from the Crossed.

Physiology and Psychology

 * The Crossed can be killed the same way as a normal human, meaning that a headshot will not be required to bring them down. HOWEVER, they constantly have high levels of adrenaline in their system, meaning they are at at constant above average human strength and speed. The Crossed are also incapable of feeling fear or pain, meaning they will keep attacking unless they are dealt fatal damage, so, while headshots are not the only way to kill them, they are probably the most efficient.


 * The Crossed are, as stated above, fully sapient, if sociopathic, and can use any weapon they possessed the knowledge to use before they turned, including firearms and vehicles. The Crossed are also concious of the virus and will attempt to transmit the virus through bites, covering their weapons in their bodily fluids, or even by committing rape.


 * The Crossed virus brings out sadistic urges in the infected, meaning they will often torture, mutilate, and/or rape their victims before killing them.

=X-Factors=

Explanations
Of the survivors, Kouta is obviously in the worst physical condition and has the lowest agility score, though he partially makes up for this with high levels of marksmanship and some training from a Blackwater operative he befriended in America. Ann takes the highest score for marksmanship and training as she was part of a JROTC-like military program. Shino comes in last in training as she played a virtual reality game, which was very realistic at least in terms of the function of the weapon, apparent recoil, and, at least to a degree, ballistics, but still had numerous features that made it very different from firing a real gun. In terms of physical strength, Ann is probably the highest with the PT regimen at Eastern Private Defense Academy, however, she is still a teenager, and thus, no doubt outclassed by the mostly adult, adrenaline-doped Crossed. All in all, the Crossed prove superior in physical strength and pain tolerance, which will prove useful at close range, however, this fight is likely to take place mostly at long ranges. However, the odds are evened up by the fact that there are 500 Crossed and only three survivors. =Keiichi Maebara vs Maebara (Bloody Maiden)=

=Virtual Reality Dual Blade Duel: Edward Kenway (Assassin's Creed IV) vs Kirito (Sword Art Online= =Edward Kenway= Edward James Kenway, father of Haytham Kenway, and grandfather of Connor Kenway, was a Welsh-born British privateer-turned-pirate, and a member of the Assassin Order. Having first joined the Royal Navy and, once accepted, was stationed in the West-Indies. Though a quick end to the war, along with the promise of gold, glory and fame, quickly suduced Edward into a life of piracy, during which he encountered both the Assassin and Templar Orders, and through a confrontation with the Assassin traitor Duncan Walpole, became embroiled in their struggle.

After killing Walpole, Edward took his robes and used his name to gain access to a possible cashe of gold, and while doing this gained a pair of hidden blades from a Templar named Julien du Casse. After a transaction which involved a map to the home base of the Assassin Order in Tulum, Edward aided in capturing a man known as "The Sage", and upon being paid what ammounted to a small pittence in his own opinion, Edward decided to break into the prison holding this sage and release him.

Upon his arrival, and stealthy entry into the prison yards, Edward was ambushed by El Tiburón, along with other Templars whom had since come to know that Edward wasn't who he said he was. During this conflict, Edward found himself locked in the hold of a ship, along side a fellow prisoner and escaped slave Adéwalé. Through a joint effort, the two escaped and managed to take back their gear, as well as Edward altering the assassin robes he was wearing with a set of leather armor to better suit his needs as a pirate.

The two then took the ship, and gained a crew by boarding the other ships and releasing their prisoners/slaves as well. Realizing that the ship he commandeered was without the resourses to wage a naval battle with the other ships, Edward set a course to escape the convoy by sailing straight through a hurricane. Once far enough away from the storm to be safe, Edward decided to keep the vessel he and Adéwalé had used and named it the Jackdaw, after a sickly bird of the same name, and quickly recruited Adéwalé as his quartermaster.

Through the years, Edward fought many battles, both naval and in close quarters, as well as gaining a massive stockpile of gold and other treasures. During these years, he met with such notable figures as "Calico" Jack Rackham, Benjamin Hornigold, Bartholomew "Black Bart" Roberts, Edward "Blackbeard" Thatch, Charles Vane, Mary Read (disguised as a man, using the name "James Kidd"), and in his later years as Captain of the Jackdaw, gained Anne Bonny as his new quartermaster, Adéwalé having left to join the Assassin Order to pursue his own goals, and at this point, Edward fully joined the Assassin Order in order to make up for his past transgretions, as his way of forfilling Mary Read's last dying wish.

Through many confrontations, Edward Kenway has gained skills in such things as dual swordmanship, accurate shooting, and hand-to-hand combat when no weapon is available. With the addition of the hidden blades, Edward has been shown to have a quick learning curve, deftly using the weapons in a demonstration of his abilities for Govenor Torres while in the guise of Duncan Walpole. As with all Assassins since Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Edward Kenway possesses the ability known as "Eagle Vision", which allows him to determine whom are innocent, guilty, and most importantly, whom his assassination target is. Along with his four flintlock pistols, Edward has use of a blow pipe, with which he shoots berserk darts which cause the target to go into a fit of rage and attempt killing anyone around him before dying themselves, as well as sleep darts which, as the name implies, causes the target to pass out into a deep, albeit temporary, sleep. From the Assassin Leader of the time, Ah Tabai, Edward gained a set of rope darts, which can be used to bring far away targets closer to himself, or if at a high vantage point, to actually hang his opponents. From years of climbing the riggings of ships during his time in the navy, Edward has gained a deftness at climbing that every assassin has during their lives. Also from his life in the navy, Edward is both a skilled captain, and a formidable opponent in regards to naval battles. =Kirito= Kazuto Kirigaya was a normal teenager in 2020s Japan, who was selected to as a beta tester for the virtual reality MMORPG Sword Art Online, for the new Nerve Gear console. After a month of beta testing under the screenname "Kirito", a portmanteau of Kirigaya Kazuto, his name by Japanese conventions (family name, then given name), Kirito logs on to Sword Art Online for the official release. Kirito quickly makes friends with a new user under the screen name "Klein", who discovers that the log off button is not in the menu like it was in the beta. Kirito, Klein, and all of the other SAO users are then teleported to the starting city, where they are met by a mysterious entity claiming to be game creator Kayaba Akihiko, who tells them they he has trapped them in the world of Sword Art Online by incorporating a microwave emitter in the Nerve Gear. Any attempt to remove or destroy the Nerve Gear from the user will result in the activation of a microwave pulse that will literally fry the user's brain, killing them. If the user's avatar is killed in the game, they will also die in real life. Akihiko states that he will not release the users until the game is completed- all floors of a 100-story monster-filled dungeon are cleared. To prove his power, Akihiko changes all users into their real-life appearance- achieved by using biometric data gathered during calibration of the Nerve Gear console.

Over 2000 died in the first month, and the first floor was yet to be cleared. During his fight to clear the first floor, Kirito teams up with a girl named Asuna Yuuki. Together, they defeat the boss of the first floor, then go their separate ways, however, Kirito would meet Asuna again later, eventually becoming in-game "husband and wife", and boyfriend and girlfriend in real life after they escape Sword Art Online.

After meeting Asuna, Kirito goes on to join a guild known as the Moonlit Black Cats, and become friendly with a girl named "Sachi", though never sharing her feeling for him. Sachi is traumatized by the sheer gravity of her situation- literally being in a game of life and death, even contemplating suicide by jumping off a cliff in game and activating the microwave device upon the death of her avatar, however, Sachi is too cowardly to do even that. After several months, the Moonlit Black Cats gain enough money to by an in-game house. While the guild leader goes to buy a the house, Kirito, Sachi, and the others go to the "front lines"- the unexplored parts of the dungeon, and fall into a trap baited with a treasure chest. All except Kirito are killed by a horde of monsters. Kirito is affected by Sachi's death in particular, and becomes depressed for several months, on Christmas Eve, he fights an event boss, Nicholas the Renegade, who was said to possess and item that will revive a dead player. Kirito defeats Nicholas, almost dying himself, but discovers the item can only revive a player ten seconds after their avatar's death- by preventing the activation of the microwave. Kirito returns to his room at the inn in despair, where he remembers a gift Sachi game him and told him to open on Christmas. In this package is a voice message, where Sachi tells him to remain strong even if she dies and to escape and live again on the outside.

His resolve strengthened, Kirito fights his way to the 75th floor, joining an elite guild along with Asuna, the Blood Knights. On the 75th floor, he discovers that the leader of guild, "Heathcliff", is actually Kayaba Akihiko himself. Kirito challenges Akihiko to a duel, discovering that Akihiko has turned his avatar into a non-destructable object, effectively making him invincible. Akihiko reduces Kirito's HP to zero, however, he does not die due to a glitch in the game, and Kirito is able use the same glitch to to kill Kayaba. After Akihiko's death, Kirito and all but 300 Sword Art Online players are released from the game.

Kirito goes on to play other VRMMORPGs and to privately investigate other cyber-crimes occurring within such games. The first such instance occurs just days after Kirito escapes Sword Art Online, when he discovers Asuna has not been logged off of the game. Kirito discovers that, in spite of Asuna's continued comatoseness, Nobuyuki Sugou, a high-ranking employee of the company Asuna's father owns, intends to marry Asuna. Kirito discovers soon after an image suggesting Asuna is trapped in the VR MMORPG Alfheim Online, on top of the "World Tree", the final dungeon of the game. Allied with a player named Lyfa, who is later revealed to Kirito's own sister, Suguha, Kirito makes it to the top of the central "World Tree" in Alfheim Online, and discovers that the "Fairy King Oberon" at the top of the "World Tree" is none other than Nobuyuki Sugou himself. By this point, it is revealed that Sugou is also holding 300 Sword Art Online survivors as human test subjects in his experiments in using virtual reality technology for mind control. Sugou almost defeats Kirito using his control of the system commands, however, Sugou is defeated when a saved AI copy of Kayaba Akihiko's personality overrides Sugou's systems authority, freeing Asuna and Sugou's other prisoners. Later, Sugou attempts to have Kazuto assassinated in real life, however, he fails and is arrested, convicted, and imprisoned for his crimes.

Kirito is a short while later paid by Kikuoka Seijirou, a Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Technology agent, to investigate a mysterious player calling himself the "Death Gun" in the game "Gun Gale Online". The "Death Gun" possesses a weapon of the same name that can kill a player when they are defeated in the game in a manner apparently similar to that of Sword Art Online, in spite of the fact that the design of the new AmuSphere console should make this impossible. Kirito joins Gun Gale Online and enters the "Bullet of Bullets" tournament, which "Death Gun" was known to compete, along side a female player named Sinon. They later discover that "Death Gun" does not kill his victims in game at all, rather, he had an accomplice inject his victim with a poison in the real world when he defeats them in game. Kirito and Sinon, however, manage to defeat "Death Gun", really a man named Shoichi Shinkawa, who is arrested along with his brother and accomplice Kyouiji Shinkawa for their murders. =Weapons=

Pistol Swords (Edward)
One of the deadliest sets of blades that Kenway used in his career of piracy were a pair of pistol-swords. These weapons were straight, double-edges swords about a meter in length with a clip point, further increasing its sharpness. The weapon features a pair of flintlock pistols attached to the hilt, with barrels running alongside the blade. These were often used to finish of enemies who survived an initial strike, however, for the purposes of this match, Edward will be able to fire the pistols normally, but they will only be effective at a few feet at most because of their awkward arrangement. The weapons were also known to be very lightweight, allowing high attack speed.

Elucidator and Dark Repulsor (Kirito)
Later in the game, Kirito wielded two swords using his unique dual blades skill. His weapons of choice were a pair of double-edged longswords known as Elucidator and Dark Repulser.

=Anime Sniper Royale: Kouta Hirano (HOTD) vs Ann Matsura (BCBA) vs Shino "Sinon" Asada (SAO II)= =Kouta Hirano= Kouta Hirano was a somewhat overweight gun otaku attending Fujimi High School, until the outbreak of a zombie virus forced him to flee the school along with Saya Tayagi, a girl in his year. Kouta armed himself with a nailgun he modified into a crude handgun, making his escape along with Saya, soon joined by fellow students Takashi Komuro, Saeko Busujima, Rei Miyamoto, and school nurse Shizuka Marikawa. The group of survivors made their way to the home Marikawa, which she shared with her roommate, an SAT sniper named Rika Minami. Kouta got a hold of an AR-10 and an Ithaca shotgun and proved highly skilled at killing the undead from a range. Kouta revealed that he befriended a Blackwater Mercenary during a trip to the U.S, who taught him how to shoot.

=Ann Matsura= The daughter of a rock star and a ceramic artist, Ann's parents were both staunch pacifists. When Ann had a falling out with her family, she left home and enrolled in Eastern Private Defense Academy in an effort to distance herself from them. Ann generally was satisfied with life at the academy, proving herself to be a skilled markswoman, an attribute that would prove useful against the Trident mercenaries. Ann's mother is a foreigner, thus her English name. Ann has known Youji Takatsu since childhood, and in spite of their occasional arguing, are actually close friends, and by the end of their ordeal together, possibly more.

WHO IS DEADLIEST?!

=Aiden Pearce=

Baton
Aiden Pearce uses a collapsible metal baton similar to those used by police as his primary melee weapon of choice. The weapon is about 16 inches long at full extend, and is sturdy enough to be used a blunt striking weapon.

Heckler and Koch 416
The Heckler & Koch HK416 is an assault rifle designed and manufactured by Heckler & Koch. It uses the AR-15 platform, originally conceived as an improvement to the Colt M4 carbine with the notable inclusion of a gas-piston system derived from the Heckler & Koch G36. Customers have the option of purchasing a new upper receiver, buffer and drive spring to refurbish M4s or buying a completely new build HK416. The HK416 is part of the Individual Carbine competition to replace the M4. The HK416 is a 5.56mm assault rifle with a 30-round magazine as standard (though other size may be used). The weapon fires at a rate of fire of 850 rpm and has an effective range of up to 600 meters (though it would likely be most effective at less than 400 meters without optics).

GM-94 Grenade Launcher
The GM-94 is a Russian-made pump-action grenade launcher firing 43mm thermobaric rounds, which have a smaller blast radius than standard 40mm grenade round, allowing the weapon to be used even indoors, provided the room is relatively large. The weapon has a three round magazine, and can hold one in the chamber of four shots. While the blast radius is smaller than a 40mm round, it is still more than capable of killing multiple personnel and destroying lightly armored vehicles.

Hacking Abilities
NOTE: FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS MATCH, AIDEN'S PHONE WILL BE UPGRADED TO HAVE CAPABILITIES ON PAR WITH FUTURE TECH, SO HE WILL BE ABLE TO HACK THE 22ND CENTURY TECH OF PSYCHO-PASS.

Clara Lille
=Sibyl System=

Shock Batons
Enforcers and Inspectors of MWPSB Police forces are equipped with shock batons similar in appearance to a collapsible police baton. The weapon is capable of delivering an incapacitating electric shock.

Drones
Two types of unmanned ground vehicle are commanded by the Sybil System-controlled Japanese government. The first type is a police drone primarily used to block off roads or crime scenes, but carries a stun weapon similar to the baton.

The military uses a much more heavily armed drone, equipped with a minigun as its primary armament and an assault rifle as a secondary weapon. The drone is capable of moving on both wheels and mechanical legs, allowing to traverse a wide variety of surfaces. Military drones will not be deployed unless the Aiden attacks a military base or causes significant enough damage to warrant their deployment.

Military Assault Rifle
Unlike the police force, the Japanese military in the world of Psycho-Pass still uses conventional ballistic small arms, likely due to the low battery life of directed energy weapons such as the Dominator. The assault rifle used by the Psycho-Pass JSDF is a similar in appearance and design to modern assault rifle, though it presumably uses a magazine that lies flush with the top of the weapon, like the FN P90 SMG. The weapon will be assumed to be a 5.56mm assault rifle with a 30-round magazine. The rifle can be used by human soldiers and is the secondary armament of military assault drones. Unlike the Domnator, it does not seem to have a user-recognition system, so Aiden WILL be able to use rifles taken of dead soldiers or destroyed military Drones. For the purpose of this match, however, the military will NOT be deployed unless Aiden causes significant police casualties or is detected threatening the Main base of the Sibyl System or a military base.

Military Minigun
Military Assault Drones in the Japan of Psycho-Pass are armed with four-barreled miniguns capable of firing at high rates of fire. The ballistic weapons prove much more effective for sustained fire than the energy weapons used by the police. The weapon will be assumed to be a 7.62mm weapon fed from linkable disintegrating metal belts. The minigun is primarily used as a Drone armament, but can be used as by an infantry, and Aiden will be able to use it for this purpose.

=Artemis Global Security (Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X) vs The Army of the New Millennium (Eagle One: Harrier Attacks)= =Combatants=

Artemis Global Security
Artemis Global Security is the primary antagonist in the video game Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. Artemis was a private military company that recruited a squadron of veteran ex-US Air Force pilots, including game protagonist David Crenshaw, the High Altitude Warfare, Experimental (HAWX) squadron. Artemis possessed an arsenal rivaling a large national army, including infantry, armor, artillery, air, and naval forces. Artemis came into conflict with the US when they US forces started taking the place of Artemis forces in aiding the Brazilians in a war against a South American anti-US alliance called Las Trinidad. Artemis decided to defect and make a contract with Las Trinidad, threatening to destroy US aircraft carrier USS James Lawrence. Fortunately for Lawrence, the HAWX squadron, currently in the employ of Artemis defected back to the US, and destroyed the Artemis flagship, a hybrid aircraft/missile carrier, the Myrmidon.

After the betrayal, the US launched a bombing attack on Artemis HQ in the Carribbean. At this point, Artemis CEO Adrian DeWinter ordered a full-scale invasion of the US, with Artemis forces reaching Washington and damaging the White House before being pushed back. Artemis also disable the SLAMS (Satellite Laser Anti-Missile System) and stole nuclear weapons from Norfolk Naval Yard, and then threatening to attack a major US city if the US does not surrender. In the end, however, Artemis is defeated by the efforts of the US, NATO, and the Japanese Self-Defense Force, who aided in defending a US carrier battle group in Tokyo Bay. DeWinter was traced to an undisclosed location and which was bombed by Crenshaw himself, killing DeWinter and the rest of the Artemis board of directors. After their surrender, Artemis was disbanded and the UN ordered all PMCs to return to providing only logistical support or disband altogether.

Army of the New Millennium
The Army of the New Millennium is a heavily armed terrorist group that serves as the primary antagonist in the 2000 flight simulator Eagle One: Harrier Attack. The ANM is an anti-American terrorist organization armed with massive amounts of military hardware. Later in the game, it is even revealed that they are capable of manufacturing their own aircraft, the ANM-50, an aircraft similar in appearance to the Su-47 Berkut and based of the plans for a "Russian stealth fighter" (presumably referring to the Berkut). The first known action of the ANM was the hijacking of the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Boschev, which was initially believed to have sunk in a hurricane. The ANM detonated an EMP weapon over Hawaii, disabling all electronics. The ANM invaded Hawaii with a massive force of troops, armored vehicles, combat aircraft, naval vessels, led by the Admiral Boschev. At the same time, the ANM launched numerous cyber-terror attacks on the United States, including auto and air-traffic control systems, water delivery and filtering systems, hospitals, banks, and even released toxic clouds from a chemical plant. The cyber terror attacks caused massive chaos, leading to a declaration of martial law in the US. The ANM threatened to follow these attacks with a mainland attack on the US.

Due to the lack of available forces due to the need to defend against invasion, only a few military forces, most notably a squadron of AV8B Harrier VTOL attack aircraft aboard the aircraft carrier USS Armstrong. In spite of the small number of US forces in the liberation force, the US forces, in particular the Harrier squadron, led by a skilled pilot designated Eagle One managed to decimate the ANM forces in Hawaii against all odds, eliminating ANM ground and air forces, sinking a number of ANM naval vessels including the Admiral Boschev, and even preventing the ANM for deploying nuclear weapons in a final bid to render the islands uninhabitable after they were force into retreat.

Sukhoi-25 "Frogfoot (AGS)
The Sukhoi Su-25 (NATO reporting name: "Frogfoot") is a single-seat, twin-engine jet aircraft developed in the Soviet Union by the Sukhoi Design Bureau. It was designed to provide close air support for the Soviet Ground Forces. The first prototype made its maiden flight on 22 February 1975. After testing, the aircraft went into series production in 1978 at Tbilisi in the Soviet Republic of Georgia. Russian air and ground forces nicknamed it "Gratch" ("Rook").

Early variants included the Su-25UB two-seat trainer, the Su-25BM for target-towing, and the Su-25K for export customers. Some aircraft were being upgraded to Su-25SM standard in 2012. The Su-25T and the Su-25TM (also known as the Su-39) were further developments, not produced in significant numbers. The Su-25, and the Su-34, were the only armoured, fixed-wing aircraft in production in 2007.[1] Su-25s are in service with Russia, other CIS states, and export customers.

The type has seen combat in several conflicts during its more than 30 years in service. It was heavily involved in the Soviet war in Afghanistan, flying counter-insurgency missions against the Mujahideen. The Iraqi Air Force employed Su-25s against Iran during the 1980–88 Iran–Iraq War. Most were later destroyed or flown to Iran in the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Abkhazian separatists used Su-25s during the Abkhazian War from 1992 to 1993. The Macedonian Air Force used Su-25s against Albanian insurgents in the 2001 Macedonia conflict and, in 2008, Georgia and Russia both used Su-25s in the Russo-Georgian War. African states, including the Ivory Coast, Chad, and Sudan have used the Su-25 in local insurgencies and civil wars.

MiG 21 "Fishbed" (ANM)
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 (Russian: Микоян и Гуревич МиГ-21; NATO reporting name: Fishbed) is a supersonic jet fighter aircraft, designed by the Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was popularly nicknamed "Balalaika", from the aircraft's planform-view resemblance to the Russian stringed musical instrument or ołówek (English: pencil) by Polish pilots due to the shape of its fuselage.

Early versions are considered second-generation jet fighters, while later versions are considered to be third-generation jet fighters. Approximately 60 countries over four continents have flown the MiG-21, and it still serves many nations a half-century after its maiden flight. The fighter made aviation records. At least by name, it is the most-produced supersonic jet aircraft in aviation history and the most-produced combat aircraft since the Korean War, and it had the longest production run of a combat aircraft (1959 to 1985 over all variants).

119's Edge
The Sukhoi is, in truth, a ground attack aircraft similar to the A-10, meaning that, while it carries a heavier armament than the MiG, it is far less maneuverable and much slower. This will give the Sukhoi more firepower to target the ANM ships, it will be an easier target for AAA and SAMs. EDGE: ANM

F/A 18 Hornet (AGS)
The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F/A-18 Hornet is a twin-engine supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable multirole combat jet, designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft (F/A designation for Fighter/Attack). Designed by McDonnell Douglas and Northrop, the F/A-18 was derived from the latter's YF-17 in the 1970s for use by the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The Hornet is also used by the air forces of several other nations. The U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, has used the Hornet since 1986.

The F/A-18 has a top speed of Mach 1.8 (1,190 mph or 1,915 km/h at 40,000 ft or 12,190 m). It can carry a wide variety of bombs and missiles, including air-to-air and air-to-ground, supplemented by the 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannon. It is powered by two General Electric F404 turbofan engines, which give the aircraft a high thrust-to-weight ratio. The F/A-18 has excellent aerodynamic characteristics, primarily attributed to its leading edge extensions (LEX). The fighter's primary missions are fighter escort, fleet air defense, Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD), air interdiction, close air support and aerial reconnaissance. Its versatility and reliability have proven it to be a valuable carrier asset, though it has been criticized for its lack of range and payload compared to its earlier contemporaries, such as the Grumman F-14 Tomcat in the fighter and strike fighter role, and the Grumman A-6 Intruder and LTV A-7 Corsair II in the attack role.

The Hornet saw its first combat action in 1986 during Operation El Dorado Canyon and subsequently participated in 1991 Operation Desert Storm and 2003 Operation Iraqi Freedom. The F/A-18 Hornet provided the baseline design for the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, a larger, evolutionary redesign of the F/A-18.

F15 Strike Eagle (ANM)
The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15E Strike Eagle is an American all-weather multirole fighter, derived from the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle. The F-15E was designed in the 1980s for long-range, high speed interdiction without relying on escort or electronic warfare aircraft. United States Air Force (USAF) F-15E Strike Eagles can be distinguished from other U.S. Eagle variants by darker camouflage and conformal fuel tanks mounted along the engine intakes.

The Strike Eagle has been deployed for military operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. During these operations the F-15E has carried out deep strikes against high-value targets, combat air patrols, and providing close air support for coalition troops. It has also seen action in later conflicts and has been exported to several countries.

The ANM's F-15 Strike Eagle for its higher speed and service ceiling, allowing it to attack from above more easily. This is a close one, as the F/A-18 is lighter, smaller, and thus more maneuverable, and has a slightly larger armament. SLIGHT EDGE: ANM

F15 ACTIVE (AGS)
The McDonnell Douglas F-15 STOL/MTD (Short Takeoff and Landing/Maneuver Technology Demonstrator) is a modified F-15 Eagle. Developed as a technology demonstrator, the F-15 STOL/MTD carried out research for studying the effects of thrust vectoring and enhanced maneuverability. The aircraft used for the project was pre-production TF-15A (F-15B) No. 1 (USAF S/N 71-0290), the first two-seat F-15 Eagle built by McDonnell Douglas (out of 2 prototype[2]), the sixth F-15 off the assembly line, and was the oldest F-15 flying up to its retirement. It was also used as the avionics testbed for the F-15E Strike Eagle program.[3] The plane was on loan to NASA from the United States Air Force.

This same aircraft would later be used in the F-15 ACTIVE (Advanced Control Technology for Integrated Vehicles) from 1993–1999, and later in the Intelligent Flight Control System programs from 1999 to 2008. With the help of thrust vectoring nozzles, this aircraft can perform the famous Pugachev's Cobra maneuver.

While with NASA, the plane's tail number was 837; for the Quiet Spike program and Research Testbed it was 836, and 835 was used for the Highly Integrated Digital Electronic Control (HIDEC) program.

In spite of only one being built, Artemis some how got their hands on some copies of the ACTIVE, modified to carry cannon aand missiles. For the purposes of this match:
 * Top Speed: Mach 2
 * Service Ceiling: 18,288m
 * Armament: 8x Sidewinder or AMRAAM, 1x 20mm Vulcan Gatling Gun (assumed)

Both strike escorts and defensive: 4x Sidewinder, 4x AMRAAM

Sukhoi 37 "Flanker" (ANM)
The Sukhoi Su-37 (NATO reporting name: Flanker-F) is an experimental single-seat, supermaneuverable multirole jet fighter, designed by Sukhoi. A further development of the original Su-27 "Flanker", it was modified from the first-generation Su-35 (formerly "T10M") prototypes. The Su-37 features an upgraded avionic suite and fire-control system, but its most notable additions are the thrust-vectoring nozzles. Only two prototypes were converted.

During the Su-35 flight test programme, active controls during dogfighting maneuvers could not be attained. At the same time, Sukhoi was exploring the application of thrust-vectoring nozzles for fighter jets, giving it better dogfighting attributes. The first Su-37, converted from the eleventh Su-35, made its maiden flight in April 1996 at Zhukovsky. It was joined by a second prototype in 1998. Throughout the entire program, the Su-37 demonstrated its potential to prospective operators at numerous air shows, performing maneuvers impossible to complete with normal flight control methods, among which was a 360° somersault. Despite its potential tactical advantage, the Su-37 did not enter production, and instead remained as a technology demonstrator for updated Su-27 family aircraft such as the export Su-30 and the modernized Su-35.

Again, in spite of not entering produciton, the ANM somehow got their hands on a bunch of Su-37s.

Sukhoi 47 Berkut (AGS)
The Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut (Russian: Су-47 Беркут—Golden Eagle) (NATO reporting name Firkin), also designated S-32 and S-37 (not to be confused with the twin-engined delta canard design[1] offered by Sukhoi in the early 1990s under the designation Su-37) during initial development, was an experimental supersonic jet fighter developed by Sukhoi Aviation Corporation. A distinguishing feature of the aircraft was its forward-swept wing that gave the aircraft excellent agility and maneuverability. While serial production of the type never materialized, the sole aircraft produced served as a technology demonstrator prototype for a number of advanced technologies later used in the 4.5 generation fighter SU-35BM and current fifth-generation jet fighter prototype Sukhoi PAK FA T-50.

On August 11, 2014, Commander-in-chief of the Russian Air Forces, Colonel General Viktor Bondarev claimed that Russia is still continuing the research and development of Su-47 or similar foward-swept wing fighters. The new prototypes of such aircraft will be unveiled in the near future.

ANM-50
The ANM-50 is an aircraft designed and built by the Army of the New Millenium and deployed late in their Hawaiian Campaign. This aircraft proved that they were capable of manufacturing their own advanced combat aircraft. The ANM-50 proved a tough adversary from US aircraft deployed in the islands, proving far superior the Harrier jump jet flown by the protagonist of the game, and even proving a match for a US Air Force F16 that played the role of the primary front line fighter in the conflict. The aircraft appears to be a copy of the Sukhoi-47 Berkut, and the blueprints were stated to have been stolen from the Russians by computer hackers.


 * Stats: Assumed identical to the Sukhoi-47

119's Edge
While the ANM-50 is a copy of the Sukhoi-47, at least on paper, mulitple ANM-50s were shot down by F-16s and even Harrier jump jets (admittedly it helps that they were piloted by a video game protagonist!). This suggests that the Sukhoi is either of better build quality, or, more likely, that the ANM's pilot training is sub-standard. EDGE: AGS

Tupelov Tu-22M (AGS)
The Tupolev Tu-22M (Russian: Туполев Ту-22М; NATO reporting name: Backfire) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing, long-range strategic and maritime strike bomber developed by the Tupolev Design Bureau. Significant numbers remain in service with the Russian Air Force, and As of 2014 more than 100 Tu-22M are in use.

Similar to its contemporaries MiG-23 and Su-17 projects, the advantages of variable-sweep wing (or "swing wing") seemed attractive, allowing a combination of short take-off performance, efficient cruising, and good high-speed, low-level ride. The result was a new swing wing aircraft named Samolyot 145 (English: Aeroplane 145), derived from the Tupolev Tu-22, with some features borrowed from the abortive Tu-98. The Tu-22M was based on the Tu-22's weapon system and used its Kh-22 missile. The Tu-22M designation was used to help get approval for the bomber within the Soviet military and government system.

The Tu-22M designation was used by the Soviet Union during the SALT II arms control negotiations, creating the impression that it was a modification of the Tu-22. Some suggested that the designation was deliberately deceptive, and intended to hide the Tu-22M's performance. Other sources suggest the "deception" was internal to make it easier to get budgets approved. According to some sources, the Backfire-B/C production variants were believed to be designated Tu-26 by Russia, although this is disputed by many others. The US State and Defense Departments have used the Tu-22M designation for the Backfire.

Production of all Tu-22M variants totalled 497 including pre-production aircraft.

B-52 Stratofortress (ANM)
The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber. The B-52 was designed and built by Boeing, which has continued to provide support and upgrades. It has been operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since the 1950s. The bomber is capable of carrying up to 70,000 pounds (32,000 kg) of weapons.

Beginning with the successful contract bid in June 1946, the B-52 design evolved from a straight-wing aircraft powered by six turboprop engines to the final prototype YB-52 with eight turbojet engines and swept wings. The B-52 took its maiden flight in April 1952. Built to carry nuclear weapons for Cold War-era deterrence missions, the B-52 Stratofortress replaced the Convair B-36. A veteran of several wars, the B-52 has dropped only conventional munitions in combat. The B-52's official name Stratofortress is rarely used in informal circumstances, and it has become common to refer to the aircraft as the BUFF (Big Ugly Fat Fucker).

The B-52 has been in active service with the USAF since 1955. As of 2012, 85 were in active service with nine in reserve. The bombers flew under the Strategic Air Command (SAC) until it was inactivated in 1992 and its aircraft absorbed into the Air Combat Command (ACC); in 2010 all B-52 Stratofortresses were transferred from the ACC to the new Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC). Superior performance at high subsonic speeds and relatively low operating costs have kept the B-52 in service despite the advent of later, more advanced aircraft, including the canceled Mach 3 B-70 Valkyrie, the variable-geometry B-1 Lancer, and the stealth B-2 Spirit. The B-52 completed fifty years of continuous service with its original operator in 2005; after being upgraded between 2013 and 2015, it is expected to serve into the 2040s.

The ANM used multiple B-52s, presumably captured from US bases, in a failed attempt to bomb the base of Eagle Squadron, but they were shot down by an ace Harrier pilot known only by his call sign, Eagle One.


 * Top Speed: 650 mph

119's Edge
While the B-52 does carry a larger number of ASMs, the Tupelov is faster, and it's missiles have a longer range and and a much higher flight speed, making them unlikely to be intercepted by CIWS and SAM defenses. Edge: AGS

Sovremennyy-class Destroyer x6 (Both)
While the escorts for each force are not mentioned in the games, both side will be assumed to have six Sovremennyy-class destroyers, given both sides' heavy use of Russian hardware. The Sovremennyy-class destroyer is the principal anti-surface warship of the Russian Navy. The Soviet designation for the class was Project 956 Sarych (Buzzard).

Its primary role is to attack enemy warships while also providing sea and air defense for warships and transports under escort. It complements the Udaloy-class destroyers in anti-submarine operations.

The vessel carries eight SS-N-22 anti-ship missiles, 48 SA-N-12 SAMs, Four 130mm guns in two twin turrets and 4 30mm anti-aircraft/missile Gatling guns.

Myrmidon (AGS)
The Myrmidon is a massive warship used by Artemis global security, over 2500 feet in length, making it over twice as long as a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. The vessel is heavily armored, resisting multiple missile and bomb impacts before it is finally destroyed. The vessel is armed with advanced anti-ship missiles capable of destroying a modern US fleet carrier, as well as numerous SAM batteries, close-in weapons systems, and naval guns. The ship also carries a complement of aircraft. ===Admiral Boschev (ANM)===

The Admiral Boschev is a fictional Russian aircraft carrier that the ANM hijacked and used as a flagship. The vessel appears to be Kiev-class aircraft carrier. The Kiev-class carrier carries 80-100 SAMs, two dual purpose guns, eight close in-weapons systems, and, unusually for a carrier, eight surface to surface missile launchers and ten torpedo tubes. This allows the Kiev-class to defend itself against surface ships and submarines, at least to a degree, as well as having strong air defenses. The ANM appear to have modified the ship to carry a complement of their aircraft, including ANM-50s. The Kiev-class carrier can carry a total of 12 fixed wing aircraft and 16 helicopters, however, the limitations will be ignored to make this battle fair (some of the aircraft may be land-based).

Thorin Oakenshield
""If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. But, sad or merry, I must leave it now. Farewell.""

- Last words of Thorin Oakenshield

Thorin Oakenshield is one of the main characters of J.R.R. Tolkein's novel, The Hobbit. Thorin is the son of Thrain, the last king of the dwarvish kingdom of Erebor before it was destroyed by the dragon, Smaug. Thorin had previous led a campaign against the orcs of Moria, where he fought off the leader of the Orcs, a giant orc named Azog. Thorin held off Azog and his massive mace using only an oaken branch, earning him the name "Oakenshield". Later, Thorin, accompanied by twelve other dwarves, the wizard Gandalf, and the hobbit Bilbo Baggins went off on a quest to reclaim the Arkenstone, symbol of the power of the King of Erebor from Smaug. Thorin first found his sword, originally an elvish blade known as Orcrist, the Goblin Cleaver, in the horde of a group of trolls which were outwitted and tricked into staying up past sunrise- fatal for their kind- by Bilbo.

Thorin would first use his sword, along with Gandalf's sword, Glamdring, the Foe Hammer, after they escaped from the captivity of the trolls of the Misty Mountains. Thorin would go on to face a race of highly predatory, sentient giant spiders in Mirkwood, and escape from the captivity of the wood elves along with the rest of the group, before landing in the town of Esgaroth, or Lake Town.

From there, Thorin and the others ventured to the Lonely Mountain, former seat of the King of Erebor, and discovered the hidden entrance, which could only be seen by the last light of Durin's Day. Bilbo was the first to infiltrate the underground chambers that had become Smaug's lair, evading detection aided by a magic ring he found in the goblin's lair (unknownly the One Ring forged by Sauron). The dragon later escaped, and attacked Lake Town, only to be killed by a black arrow fired by Bard the Bowman.

After Smaug's death, Thorin was barricaded in the Lonely Mountain by the men of Lake Town and the wood elves, hoping to force him to share the treasures captured from Smaug, which Thorin refused to do. All three of them were beseiged, however, by a horde of 15,000 orcs and wargs. The the elves, men, and dwarves were forced to ally against the invading horde, and ultimately proved victorious when they were rienforced by 500 veteran dwarvish warriors from the Iron Hills, as well as the Great Eagles of the Misty Mountains and the skinchanger Beorn, in the form of a giant bear.

While the battle was as victory, Thorin was mortally wounded, and died shortly afterwards. Thorin was buried in a tomb under the mountain along with Orcrist and the Arkenstone.

Tyrion Lannister


"Those are brave men knocking at our door. Let's go kill them!"

- Tyrion Lannister during the siege of King's Landing

"I'm guilty of a far more monstrous crime: I'm guilty of being a dwarf!"

- Tyrion Lannister at his trial

Tyrion Lannister is a major character in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels, and the TV adaptation, A Game of Thrones. Tyrion was the third son of Tywin Lannister, lord of Casterly Rock, preceded by Jaime and Cersei Lannister. Unfortunately for Tyrion, he was born a dwarf, reaching only about four feet in height upon reach adulthood. Since childhood, he was subject of prejudice because of his condition, however, he managed to rise in status thanks to his great intellect.

Tyrion was falsely accused of orchestrating an assassination attempt on Bran Stark by Lord Petyr Baelish and Lady Catelyn Stark. This leads to Tyrion being taken captive and taken for trial in Baelish's mountain fortress of the Eyrie. Tyrion, however, is acquitted in trial by combat, represented by a mercenary named Bronn. This incident leads to a conflict between the Lannisters and Starks, which, after Tyrion returns to King's Landing, escalated further with the death of King Robert Baratheon and the subsequent execution of Lord Eddard Stark by Joffrey Baratheon. These incidents trigger off a conflict between Joffrey and the Lannisters, two other claimants to the throne, Stannis and Renly Baratheon, as well as the Starks of the North and the Greyjoys of the Iron Islands, both of whom claimed independence from King's Landing. This conflict became known as the War of the Five Kings.

Tyrion is appointed acting Hand of the King by his father while Tywin led the army against Robb Stark's Northern forces. During this time, Tyrion is forced to prepare the defenses of King's Landing from an attack by the fleet of Stannis Baratheon. Tyrion prepares a defense hinging on the use of a ship filled with a highly flammable Greek Fire-like substance known as Wildfire, and sailing it unmanned into the Baratheon fleet, before igniting it with a flaming arrow. The plan is an outstanding success, and much of Stannis' fleet is destroyed in a massive explosion, and sinks into the Blackwater Bay. Stannis and a significant fleet, however, survive, and launch an invasion, ramming the gates to the city. Tyrion dons a custom-sized suit of plate armor and personally leads a counterattack against Stannis' forces, at one point killing a man in single combat with an axe. Tyrion is wounded, however the defenders hold out for long enough to Tywin's cavalry to arrive and reinforce the city and force Stannis into retreat.

After the victory at the siege of King's Landing, Tyrion is made Master of Coin and given a seat on the king's small council. Tyrion, while losing his status of acting hand of the king, remains a major figure in court, and is unwilling married to Sansa Stark. When King Joffrey is poisoned at his wedding to Margaery Tyrell, Joffrey points to Tyrion with his last breath, and Cersei accuses him of the murder. At Tyrion's trial, his former mistress, Shae, bears false testimony against him.

Tyrion demands a trial by combat, this time represented by Prince Oberyn Martell of Dorne, who intends to use the trial as an excuse to kill Gregor Clegane, the champion of the crown, in order to avenge his sister, whom Gregor murdered years earlier. Oberyn manages to strike Gregor with a poisoned spear, however before he succumbs, Gregor managed to kill Oberyn by crushing his skull with his bare hands. Because of this result, Tywin sentences Tyrion to death.

Before the sentence can be carried out, however, Tyrion is freed by his brother, Jaime, and strangles Shae to death, before taking a crossbow and shooting his father, literally while he sits on a garderobe (medieval toilet).

Orcrist is an elvish blade forged in Gondolin that Thorin found in the troll's horde. The weapon, also known as the "Goblin Cleaver", or "Biter" amongst orcs, was a legendary blade known to slain many an orc. The blade is possesses the usual high-quality and durability of elvish steel. The blade will also glow blue if orcs are nearby. Morphologically, Orcrist is a single-edged sword similar to a real-world falchion, designed primarily for hacking and chopping, but also possessing a point capable of thrusting.

Arming Sword (Tyrion)
The Westerossi arming sword featuring in A Game of Throne, is, for all intents and purposes, identical to the weapon used in medieval Europe from about the 1100s to the 1500s. The weapon has a straight blade, tapering to a point, with a pair of straight quillons giving it a cruciform shape. The blade sword also has a rounded pommel which can be used for striking at close range. While most arming swords were about three feet long, given Tyrion's shorter stature, his blade is likely closer to two feet in length.

119's Edge
While Tyrion's arming sword is the more versatile weapon, I must give the edge to the longer blade, which is Thorin's Orcrist.

One-Handed Axe (Thorin)
Thorin uses a one-handed battle axe as a secondary weapon. The Axe has a roughly diamond-shaped blade, meaning the center of the blade comes to a triangular point, which would presumably focus the impact to allow for better armor penetration. The axe also has a hole in the center, presumably to reduce weight. Thorin's axe has a roughly two-foot long handle.

Double-Bit Axe (Tyrion)
During the battle of King's Landing, Tyrion uses a double-bit single-handed battle axe with a handle about 2 feet in length. The weapon is of lightweight construction, with a blade more like a meat cleaver than a woodcutting axe, not unlike a Viking axe. The weapon is also extremely sharp, capable of severing a man's leg.

119's Edge
The two axes are very similar, but Tyrion's axe appears a bit sharper than Thorin's by virtue of its narrower, more cleaver-like blade (an overly thick blade is harder to sharpen to a fine point). Tyrion's axe is also a double-bit weapon, meaning it can do lethal damage from either side.

Shortbow (Thorin)
Thorin uses a shortbow at one point in the Hobbit movie. He is only seen holding it briefly, but I think it was no more than 2-3 feet in length, scaled down for use by a dwarf, and appears to be recurved, to allow for greater power from its small length.

Crossbow (Tyrion)
Tyrion uses a crossbow in the final episode of season four of Game of Thrones. The crossbow appears to have a metal, likely steel prod (bow part), giving it greater force and flexibility than a wooden-prodded crossbow, meaning it would likely be able to pierce armor. Tyrion's crossbow is loaded using a type of lever sometimes known as a goat's foot lever to pull back the bow, and is fired using a trigger similarly to a modern rifle. The crossbow is, in many ways, an ideal weapons for Tyrion, as it allows him to kill even an armored enemy without physically fighting them, a task which his small frame is ill-suited for.

119's Edge
While Tyrion's crossbow has a lower rate of fire, it makes up for its with its superior armor penetration, stopping power, and likely range, given the shortness of Thorin's bow. It also can be held at the ready for long periods of time, like a gun, which, contrary to what Hollywood will tell you, cannot be done with a bow- a bow is only drawn when its about to be fired.

Oaken Shield (Thorin)
Thorin's surname of "Oakenshield" is a reference to his use of an oaken branch as an improvised shield and blunt instrument in battle with the orcs of Moria. This branch was later kept by Thorin and carved to form a wrist shield covering the side of his arm, used for parrying enemy attacks.

Heater Shield (Tyrion)
At one point, Tyrion uses a heater shield to defend himself from a attacker. The heater shield is roughly U-shaped, with a wide top and getting narrower to a point at the bottom. The shield was clearly designed for a larger man than Tyrion, however, he is still capable of using it, and his small stature means that he can use it to protect most of his body at once. In addition to defending with it, Tyrion also manages to beat his attacker to death with the shield.

119's Edge
While Tyrion's Heater Shield is unwieldy for a person of his size, it is also capable of covering most of his body, while Thorin's Oaken shield offers much more limited protection.

=Explosives=

"Flashflame" Ceramic Grenade (Thorin)
In the movie, The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug, one of Thorin's dwarves, Balin, proves capable of manufacturing a crude ceramic grenade, presumably made with gunpowder (or a similar substance) and a small ceramic container. The weapon proves itself capable of stunning Smaug briefly, but does no real damage. While it might produce some shrapnel, even against a human, it would unlikely to be lethal. The Flashflame does not appear in the books. Thorin will have a single flashflame on his person for the purposes of this match.

Wildfire (Tyrion)
Wildfire is a substance in the Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones universe with properties similar to Greek Fire, but with a volatility similar to nitroglycerine- it will burn violently with green flame and explode if confined, and can be set off by heat or even a sudden impact- such as dropping or throwing a jar of wildfire. During the Battle of the Blackwater, Tyrion uses a ship filled with wildfire to destroy much of Stannis Baratheon's fleet in a massive explosion. For the purposes of this match, Tyrion will have a sealed jar of wildfire with him, which he can throw like a molotov cocktail

119's Edge
Thorin's Flashflame as it is less powerful, but less likely to kill the user of it is struck by a stray arrow, for instance.

=X-Factor=

Explanations
Thorin takes the edge for combat experience by far. Tyrion has engaged in combat, as well as played a command role multiple times, but you have to note that he was literally knocked unconcious (once accidentally) in battle. Both of them are high-ranking members of their respective society, and thus probably have decent levels of training in combat, but Thorin moreso, as he was expected to fight, unlike Tyrion, who fell into the position of a commander after becoming acting Hand of the King. In terms of strength, Thorin takes the definite edge over the much smaller Tyrion. On the other hand, Tyrion is far more intelligent, with a natural talent for thinking out of the box. Tyrion also wears plate armor into battle, far superior to the chainmail-under-furs worn by Thorin. Tyrion is also probably a bit lighter on his feet, given his size, and possesses slightly superior technology with his crossbow, plate armor, and Wildfire. =Thorin's Retainers= Thorin will accompanied by five dwarves from his company in his quest to the Lonely Mountain.

Fili
Fili was one of the dwarves that accompanied Thorin on his journey, and, like the other dwarves, is far less developed in terms of charcter than Thorin. He is the brother of Fili, and as one of the more capable combatants in the group, preferring a pair of short swords and a warhammer.

Short Swords
Fili wields a pair of short swords, about two feet long, and similar in appearance to oversized meat cleavers or butcher's knives, but they have something of a point on the end, giving them some thrusting ability.

Warhammer
Fili also uses a long-handled warhammer with a handle of about four feet in length. The weapon is capable of causing severe damage and breaking bones under armor, however, the weapon has no back spike, unlike most warhammers.

Sword
Kili favors a short sword of about two-and-a-half feet, a bit longer than his brothers. Unlike his brother's sword, Kili's blade is of a more conventional design, with a double edge blade with a triangular point. The weapon appears to be heavier than a real-life sword of similar size, likely accounting for Kili's greater strength as a dwarf.

Shortbow
Kili uses a shortbow similar to Thorin's. He is only seen holding it briefly, but I think it was no more than 2-3 feet in length, scaled down for use by a dwarf, and appears to be recurved, to allow for greater power from its small length. Kili is known to be skilled archer and have very good eyesight.

Dwalin
Dwalin was one of the Dwarves who travelled with Bilbo and Gandalf on the quest to regain the Lonely Mountain from Smaug. He is the brother of Balin.

Tall, moody, strong and very brave, Dwalin is a Dwarf through and through. A famous warrior and a powerful ally, Dwalin would like nothing more than to see the return of the Dwarven King under the Mountain. (From LOTR Wiki)

Grasper and Keeper
Dwalin Wields a pair of Dwarvish Axes known as "Grasper and Keeper" with a broad edge and a back spike for use in piercing armor. The weapons are about two feet long.

Warhammer
Dwalin also uses a warhammer with a blunt head, no spike, and four-foot handle. The weapon bares some differences, including a broader, more rectangular head, but is otherwise similar to Fili's hammer.

Balin
Balin was a Dwarf leader, the son of Fundin and elder brother of Dwalin. He was one of the twelve Dwarves who accompanied Thorin II Oakenshield on the quest to regain the lost kingdom of the Lonely Mountain.

A Dwarf Lord, Balin is old and wise. He is one of Thorin's closest friends and advisers, and is always willing to listen and offer some wise counsel. Balin is distantly related to Thorin, and is a descendant of the noble house of Durin. (From LOTR wiki)

Sword-Mace
Dwalin's sword is an unusual design of weapon consisting of a sword blade about 2.5-3 feet long, with a metal head similar to a mace with three spikes, one acting as a point for thrusting and the other two pointing to either side for piercing armor.

Flashflame
Balin proves himself capable of manufacturing a crude grenade, or "Flashflame" presumably made with gunpowder (or a similar substance) and a small ceramic container. The weapon proves itself capable of stunning Smaug briefly, but does no real damage. While it might produce some shrapnel, even against a human, it would unlikely to be lethal. The Flashflame does not appear in the books. Balin will have a single flashflame on his person for the purposes of this match.

Dori
Dori was a Dwarf of Durin's Folk, who along with his brothers Nori and Ori travelled with Bilbo Baggins as a member of Thorin and Company in The Quest of Erebor to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the Dragon Smaug.

Dori had a flute that he played in Bilbo's home before leaving on their journey. He was said to like food as much as Bilbo or any hobbit, and was described by the narrative as "a decent fellow, despite his grumbling." Dori was the strongest of the company of Dwarves. He usually wore a purple-hooded cloak when traveling abroad. (From LOTR wiki)

Short Sword
Dori wields short sword similar to those of Fili and Kili, with a heavy, butchers knife-like blade and a point vaguely reminiscent of a "westernized tanto"-pointed knife. The weapon is about two feet long.

Flail
Dori also carries a multi-headed flail with two metal heads attached. The heads do not have spikes- it is a purely blunt weapon, but can strike with enough force to break bones under armor.

=Tyrion's Retainers= Tyrion will have five people who have been part of his entourage at various times, as well as his brother Jaime.

Bronn
"You didn't fight with honor"

- Lysa Arryn, on Bronn

"No, but he did"

- Bronn, on his dead opponent

Bronn is a major character in the first, second, third, fourth and fifth seasons. He is played by starring cast member Jerome Flynn and debuted in "Cripples, Bastards and Broken Things." He is a skilled and dangerous sellsword (mercenary) who comes to prominence when he champions for Tyrion Lannister in his trial by combat in the Eyrie. Bronn subsequently enters Tyrion's service as his bodyguard and enforcer. (From GoT wiki)

Longsword
Bronn's favored weapon is a longsword similar in design to a European longsword used in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. The weapon is characterized by its cruciform shape, long blade- about 3.5-4 feet long, and double edge, making it equally versatile for slashing and thrusting.

Longbow
Bronn is also a competent archer, favoring a longbow of about 4.5-5 feet in length, similar to an English Longbow. The longbow lacks the close range impact force of a crossbow, but it can loose arrows much more quickly, and has a greater ability to shoot arrows long distances.

Sandor Clegane
"Fuck the king"

- Sandor, on Joffrey Baratheon

"I'm going to have to eat every fucking chicken in this room."

- Sandor, on chicken

Sandor Clegane, also nicknamed The Hound, is a major character in the first, second, third and fourth seasons. He is played by starring cast member Rory McCann and debuts in the series premiere. Known as the Hound for his savage nature and unquestioning obedience to his masters, Clegane served as the personal bodyguard of Joffrey Baratheon for many years, frequently chafing under Joffrey's sadistic whims yet always following orders. The Hound is taciturn, brutal, and frequently callous, but not completely without compassion. He joined the Kingsguard when Joffrey took the Iron Throne, but deserted his post during the Battle of the Blackwater. Sandor favors a heavily riveted armor which may be a more of brigandine (metal plates riveted inside fabric), as well as his trademark helmet shaped like the head of a dog.

Longsword
Sandor's favored weapon is a longsword similar in design to a European longsword used in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. The weapon is characterized by its cruciform shape, long blade- about 3.5-4 feet long, and double edge, making it equally versatile for slashing and thrusting.

Dirk
Sandor also carries a double-edged dagger similar to a Dirk

Jaime Lannister
"The boy won't talk. And if he does, I'll kill him, Ned Stark, the king, the whole bloody lot of them until you and I are the only people left in this world."

- Jaime to Cersei Lannister

IN THIS FIGHT, JAIME LANNISTER WILL HAVE BOTH HANDS INTACT

Jaime Lannister is a major character in the first, second, third, fourth and fifth seasons. He is played by starring cast member Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and debuts in the series premiere. Ser Jaime Lannister is a knight of the Kingsguard, the son of Tywin Lannister, twin brother of Queen Cersei Lannister, and older brother of Tyrion Lannister. Previously he served in the Kingsguard of Aerys II Targaryen and, infamously, he betrayed and killed Aerys during the Sack of King's Landing, earning him the sobriquet "The Kingslayer". Jaime is involved in an incestuous sexual relationship with Cersei, and, unknown to most, is the biological father of her three children, Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen.

Jaime visits Winterfell in King Robert's entourage; he pushes Bran Stark from a window when Bran sees him having intercourse with Cersei. Bran survives, but is paralyzed and with no memory of the event. Evidence implicating House Lannister emerges and sparks a war with the Starks, which eventually escalates into a major conflict. Jaime leaves his post to join his father's attack on the Riverlands. After Joffrey assumes the Iron Throne, Jaime is promoted in absentia to Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. However, his army is routed by Robb Stark's forces during the Battle of the Whispering Wood and he is taken prisoner. Catelyn Stark later releases him with the promise that he will return her daughters Sansa and Arya to her. Escorted by Brienne of Tarth, they begin an arduous journey back to King's Landing, during which Jaime's sword hand is cut off by Locke.

Longsword
Like most Westerossi knights, Jaime's favored weapon is a longsword similar in design to a European longsword used in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. The weapon is characterized by its cruciform shape, long blade- about 3.5-4 feet long, and double edge, making it equally versatile for slashing and thrusting.

Shagga, Son of Dolf
"When you meet your gods, you tell them Shagga, son of Dolf, of the Stone Crows sent you."

- Shagga

Shagga, son of Dolf, is the leader of the Stone Crows, one of the hill tribes who live in the foothills of the Mountains of the Moon on the western border of the Vale of Arryn. He is a notable warrior who holds fealty to no lord.

Shagga leads the party of tribesmen which finds Tyrion Lannister and Bronn traveling out of the Vale into the Riverlands. Shagga intends to rob the travellers and take Tyrion captive as a fool. Tyrion offers an alliance between the hill tribes and House Lannister on the basis that they share mutual enemies, House Arryn and House Stark, promising gold and weapons. Shagga agrees to the alliance and escorts Tyrion to the Lannister army camped in the Riverlands. The force is led by Tyrion's father, Lord Tywin Lannister. They are joined by Timett of the Burned Men and Chella of the Black Ears along the way. There are also clansmen from the Moon Brothers and Painted Dogs in their group. Tywin accepts the alliance and Shagga's insistence that they fight alongside Tyrion on the battlefield.

Tyrion reports to his father and his uncle that while at camp, a Moon Brother stabbed a Stone Crow over a sausage, at which the Moon Brother was set upon by three Stone Crows who opened his throat. Bronn managed to restrain Shagga from cutting off the dead man's genitals - "which was fortunate" - but Ulf of the Moon Brothers demanded blood money from the Stone Crows, which Shagga and Gunthor refused to pay. Tywin criticized Tyrion for the lack of discipline in these new allies he had brought to their side.

Shagga demands two axes from the Lannister stores to Kevan Lannister's chagrin. He and his men actually fight well at the Battle of the Green Fork and win a convincing victory over their foes. Tyrion fails to join them after he is accidentally knocked unconscious by his own men in the rush to the fight. Shagga and his troops join in the post-battle looting of the fallen bodies.

Dual Battle Axes
Shagga was given a pair of black steel double-bit battle axes from the Lannisters for his support at the Battle of the Green Fork. The weapons are described as very heavy, and would know doubt proved deadly in the hands of a larger, powerful warrior such as Shagga.

Timett
"Cut off his manhood and feed it to the goats"

- Tyrion Lannister

"...There are no goats, Halfman"

- Timett

"Well, make do!"

- Tyrion

Timett, son of Timett, is the leader of the Burned Men, one of the hill tribes living in the foothills of the Mountains of the Moon on the western edge of the Vale of Arryn. He is a large and fierce young man with only one eye. Despite his youth, his savagery and success in battle have seen him rise high amongst the hill tribes. Season 1Edit

Tyrion Lannister is captured by Shagga and the Stone Crows while traversing the Vale of Arryn. Tyrion offers an alliance to the Hill Tribes; fight the enemies of House Lannister in exchange for weapons, gold and autonomy from The Eyrie. Timett agrees to the alliance and escorts Tyrion to the Lannister encampment in the Riverlands. They are joined by other clans including Chella and the Black Ears, the Moon Brothers and the Painted Dogs. Timett is presented to Lord Tywin Lannister by Tyrion. Tywin accepts the alliance and Shagga's insistence that they fight alongside Tyrion on the battlefield. The Burned Men take part in the Lannister victory in the Battle of the Green Fork. They then engage in post-battle looting.

Timett and his men escort Tyrion to King's Landing where he becomes Acting Hand of the King on behalf of Tywin.

After Tyrion discovers that Grand Maester Pycelle is spying on him for Queen Cersei, Timett and Bronn accompany him to confront Pycelle. Tyrion orders Timett to cut off Pycelle's manhood and feed it to the goats. Timett points out that there are no goats nearby and Tyrion is exasperated. Tyrion settles for shortening his beard and confining him to the Black Cells.

Westerossi Longsword
Timetts's favored weapon is a longsword similar in design to a European longsword used in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. The weapon is characterized by its cruciform shape, long blade- about 3.5-4 feet long, and double edge, making it equally versatile for slashing and thrusting.

Dagger
Timett is also known to carry a double-edged dagger similar to a Dirk.

=Retainers X-Factors=

Explanations Part I
In terms of agility, dwarves in LOTR are known for being strong, but not particularly fast on their feet, as Gimli describes himself, "Very dangerous over short distances". This means Tyrion's human retainers take a slight edge, though only Jaime, known for his skill and agility in combat, really takes a major edge. In terms of experience, Fili and Kili are the youngest, and thus the least experienced in battle. Dwalin, on the other hand is seasoned warrior, roughly on par with Tyrion's experienced soldiers, Sandor Clegane and Bronn, however Jaime falls slightly short, having spent much of his life as a Kingsguard, rather than on a battlefield, and he was defeated at the battle of the Whispering Wood, though that may be more testament to Robb Stark's brilliance on the battlefield. That said, the the fact remains that he spent much time guarding the throne, rather than on the front lines like Sandor or Bronn. In terms of intelligence, all of the parties her are not stupid, but definitely not the most intellectual bunch around. Of both sides, Jaime Lannister gives the impression of being the brightest of the group. In terms of physical strength, Thorin's team excel, see my comment on LOTR dwarves above. That said, the Hound, while not on the level of his brother in terms of strength, is still probably on par, or at least close to it. In terms of killer instinct Tyrion's group score higher, with both Bronn and the Hound being known for their violent personalities. As for Melee skill, all of them are veteran combatants, though Kili a little less so as the group's archer. Jaime, however, takes the lead for his reputation as an expert swordsman. Finally, in terms of marksmanship, the only ones who have ranged weapons are Kili and Bronn. Kili takes the edge, as, while he is no Legolas by any means, he is still a skilled archer with good eyesight, whereas Bronn, while no doubt a competent shot, his only real scene featuring his archery involved firing at a ship filled with Wildfire- a very large target. Dwalin is the only dwarf in the film shown in actual heavy plate armor. The rest only wear chain mail under their fur cloaks, similar to Thorin himself. The GoT cast, on the other hand, all wear heavy plate or brigandine (in the case of the Hound).

Explanations
Dori is described as one of the strongest dwarves in the party, and presumably a seasoned and experienced warrior, with considerable experience, great physical strength, and skill with a weapon. However, I give Timett and Shagga a slight edge in terms of experience as the Hill Tribes are constantly at war with the Vale of Arryn, and will fight amongst themselves at the slightest provocation, thus their maximum killer instinct scores. The dwarves, on the other hand, will use lethal force to defend themselves, but will not literally kill over the slightest grievance like the Hill Tribes. Balin, on the other hand, is not a full-time fighter, but rather an older dwarf lord, but very wise, easily topping the intelligence category, and probably has considerable combat and command experience, in spite of his short comings in physicality and vision given his age. In terms of vision, Dori and Shagga have both eyes intact, but Timett literally gouged his own eye out with a hot iron as part of a ritual "burning"- usually aimed at another part of the body. This was intended as a display his bravery, but means his vision is sub-standard, a major weakness in a battle.

=Notes=
 * The battle will take place on road running through a valley in a mountain range covered in deep forests. Neither side will be familiar with the terrain.
 * Note that any member of each side may end up fighting any other. For instance, Thorin might end up fighting Tyrion himself, Bronn, or any other member of Tyrion's entourage and vice versa. Take this into account when writing edges. Even if the leader loses on most of the edges, they may win if they have superior team members.

Hotta Youta/Lute (Gun-Ota)
Weapons: Wasp Knife, S&W M10, Double-Barreled Shotgun, AK-47, Dragunov Sniper Rifle, Remington Model 700, Panzerfaust, Mark 19 Grenade Launcher, Frag Grenade, Smoke Grenade, Mines, Incendiary Ammo, Body Strengthening Magic

Opponents: Saito Hiraga

Hotta Youta was a 27-year old Japanese metalworker, shut-in, and gun otaku living in Oota Tokyo. Youta who was horribly bullied in high school. To add to his suffering, Youta's friend, Tanaka Kouji, was bullied to the point that he committed suicide. Youta was stricken with survivor's guilt, and shut himself in his home, immersing himself in anime, manga, video games, and his hobby of studying military history, and, in particular, firearms, only leaving to go to work.

Youta lived like this until age 27, when he met up with one of the delinquents who bullied both him and Tanaka in the streets. The delinquent had lived a similarly difficult live, because of the record he gained after driving Tanaka to suicide. The man blamed Youta for his difficulties and murdered Youta with a kitchen knife...

But this was not the end for Youta. Instead, he was reincarnated in a parallel world similar to a typical fantasy setting, with a medieval-like level of technology, but where magic and fantasy races, including elves, dwarves, vampires, goblins, and humans with animal-like ears and tails are commonplace. Youta was reborn as a male orphan named Lute, but kept all his memories of his past. With this past knowledge, he was unusually mature at only three years old, and became close friends with a girl with wolf-like ears and tail named "Snow". By age five, Lute had made money off a board game he introduced to the world called Reversi, and got his hands "magic liquid metal", which could be used to form into any shape with the concentration of the user. With this substance, Youta could finally realize his past-life dream of becoming a gunsmith.

In spite of early failures, by age 7, Lute had used the magic metal to create a working replica of a Smith and Wesson Model 10 revolver, as well as ammunition, though powered by sealed explosion magic rather than powder. That year, Lute saw his first combat, killing several goblins and saving Snow's life, as well as that of several other orphans.

Since then, Snow became very close to Lute, and confessed her love for him at only eight years old. Later, Lute made a second revolver and ammo for Snow, as well as an AK-47 assault rifle. When he turned 10, when he left the orphanage, Lute decided to become an travelling mercenary, while Snow, a talented magic-user, went off to a magic school. The two of them promised to meet again and marry at age 15, creating a pair of engagement bracelets as typical for the culture of the world.

Anna Toudou
Weapons: Scissors, Bowie Knife, Metal Pipe, SIG Sauer P226, Uzi

Possible Opponents: Yuno Gasai, Arata Kokonoe, Aoi Sakurai

Anna Toudou is the main character of the Yua Kotegawa's manga Anne Freaks. Anna is the daughter of a the leader of a mysterious cult known as the Kakusei Group. After her mother was killed, along with numerous other in a bombing of Haneda Airport which her father was indirectly responsible for, Anna swore to kill her father in revenge for the atrocity. By the time she turned 16, Anna was an accomplished killer, skilled with both firearms and in hand-to-hand combat. Anna hunted down numerous former members of the Kakusei group, killing all of them, and at times torturing information out of those she left alive. When she was 16, Anna met Yuri Kitagawa and Mitsuba Maezono, also children of former Kakusei group leaders, and both of whom were later targeted by the group for assassination. Both Yuri and Mitsuba start living together and assist Anna in her actions. Eventually, however, the police catch wind of their actions and they are forced to flee from the apartment, eventually finding refuge with a Christian pastor and a doctor, Moé, who are also hostile to the Kakusei group. Eventually, Anna and the others are found by Police Superintendent Nishikawa, a woman who would do anything to bring down the Kakusei group. Nishikawa convinces Yuri and Mitsuba to act as spies for her, infiltrating the Kakusei group, even though she knew they would likely be killed in the act, much to the opposition of a fellow officer named Shouno, who believes she can save Anna, Yuri, and Mitsuba from a life of crime.

Anna, Moé, and the pastor quickly realize that this is a betrayal, and the pastor, who is later revealed to be an ex-hitman, arms them with weapons, including M16s and Uzis. Anna, the paster, and Moé storm the Kakusei group compound, eliminating several key figures, but discover that Anna's father is, in fact, dead, along with Yuri's and Mitsuba's fathers, Anna's father being a mummified corpse worshiped by the cult, which is now lead by a mysterious woman.

Yuri is rescued by Anna and her two allies, however, Mitsuba is taken to be executed by the cult, but the botched hanging leaves him in a coma. Anna then storms the roof, where she and Yuri kill Mistuba's killers, though Moé is killed in the process. With his dying words, he states that he tried to protect Anna because he had once been in love with her mother, and also shared Anna's desire to avenge her daughter. He then tells Yuri that he is the second man who she drew into a life of crime.

Anna and Yuri escape the scene, and, about a week later, visited Mitsuba, still in a coma in the hospital. There, they are met by Shouno and Nishikawa. Nishikawa summons to police, while Shouno follows Yuri up to the roof to reason with him, however, she is ambushed an literally stabbed in the back by Anna, before she then shoots Nishikawa, who comes up to the rooftop, gun drawn. Nishikawa, however, is shot and wounded by Anna, who tells Yuri, who has at this point, confessed his love for her, that if he wishes to stay with her, he should kill Shouno. Yuri obeys, and he and Anna escape.

While sitting in a cafe, Anna and Yuri see the pastor interviews on national television, stating that Anna's mother did not die in the bombing. Instead, after the pastor's wife and child were killed in the Haneda bombing, he attacked the Kakusei Group's headquarters, killing about 20 of their ringleaders, including Anna's mother and father. Anna is infuriated by this, and immediately plans her revenge. Anna and Yuri are last seen in a train station, retrieving a pair of Uzis from a storage locker.

Michiru Araragi
Origin: Kono Kanojo was Fiction Desu

Weapons: Superhuman Strength, Massive Improvised Melee weapons (Trees, Columns etc), Thrown Objects, Eye Lasers

Opponents: Kaede "Lucy"

Michiru Araragi was an original character created by Yuuri Hamura over ten years of his life. Michiru started out as an imaginary friend created by the five-year old Yuuri as a coping mechanism for the fact that his parents moved frequently and he could not make any real friends. Yuuri kept adding on to Michiru since then, writing traits of her character in a series of notebooks, eventually reaching 99 in number. By the time Yuuri was in middle school, Michiru had evolved from an imaginary friend to an ideal girlfriend. Michiru took on the final physical appearance of a tall, attractive girl with long black hair and dark-purple colored eyes. The only blemish on her face was a mole on her right eye, which, if anything, only added to her appeal. Michiru was described as having a voice like one of Yuuri's favorite anime voice actresses, and wearing trademark equal-armed cross-shaped hairpins and a trademark ring. Yuuri tried to finally give up on Michiru in his first year of high school, when he met Fuuko Kuzumi, an older girl in the literary club and an amateur writer, and fell in love at first sight. Furthermore, Fuuko took interest in Yuuri after she discovered he had "the hands of a writer", based on a wart he had on his right hand, supposedly caused by constant writing.

Yuuri took all of his notebooks on Michiru's character design, and took them to a shrine, intending to burn them- based on an ancient Japanese practice for disposing of cursed items. There, he runs into Fuuko, and a sudden storm brews. Taking cover in the shrine, Fuuko asks him some questions to help her develop one of her own characters. This drives Yuuri to decide to share his shameful secret. He opens the bag containing his notes about Michiru, only to discover that, insteadof the notes, the bag now contains a nude girl identical to Michiru! Michiru immediately jump at Yuuri and embraces him, saying that she "finally gets to meet him".

The next day, Yuuri finds Michiru cooking breakfast, wearing nothing but an apron. This, he realized, was a modification he made to Michiru he made in 8th grade, when he sexualized her as result of his raging hormones. Yuuri goes on to discover that Michiru displays all of the characteristics he gave her over the years, most notably an obsessive love for him. He also realized that he forgot to give one important aspect found in most normal humans- empathy for anyone other than Yuuri himself. He has literally created an obsessed sociopathic girlfriend. To make matters worst, at various points in his childhood he gave Michiru various superpowers, including superhuman strength and eye lasers. She reveals herself to possess both of these abilities.

Throughout the course of the manga, Yuuri is forced to constantly make sure Yuuri does not commit murder, as well as discovering that the shrine where Michiru first appeared was a portal into the fictional world, and later a second character, one of Fuuko's creations materializes.

USS Iowa
Completed in 1896, the USS Iowa (BB-4) was the first US battleship to bear the name Iowa (the WWII-era USS Iowa was the second). The ship carried four 12-inch guns in two turrets, eight 8-inch guns in four turrets, six 4-inch guns, and several smaller guns, as well as four 14-inch torpedo tubes. The ship was armored with between 4 and 17 inches of Harvey armor, which was stronger than standard nickel steel. The ship had a top speed of 17 knots.

USS Indiana
The USS Indiana was the first US battleship comparable to her foreign contemporaries, launched in 1893. The ship carried four 13.5 inch guns in two turrets, as well as eight 8-inch guns, and four six-inch guns. The ship also carried a number of smaller guns and four torpedo tubes. The ship had 5-18 inches of Harvey armor on the primary turrets, the hull, and armored belt, with thickness varying depending on location. The rest of the ship was armored with 3-10 inches of conventional nickel-steel.

USS Oregon
The USS Oregon was an Indiana-class pre-dreadnought battleship launched in 1893 by the United States Navy. The vessel fought alongside the Massachusetts, Texas, and Iowa in the Battle of Santiago in Cuba. The vessel carried an armament of four 13 inch guns in two twin turrets, eight 8-inch guns in four twin turrets, and four six inch guns. The ship also carried 20 six-pounder guns and six one-pounder guns. The ship was armored Harveyized steel on the belt, turrets, and hull, ranging from 6.25 to 18 inches in thickness, and conventional nickel-steel alloys on tower, deck, and 8-inch turrets, with a thickness of between 4.5 and 10 inches.

=Heihachiro Togo= Marshal-Admiral Marquis Tōgō Heihachirō, OM, GCVO (（東郷 平八郎; 27 January 1848 – 30 May 1934) was a marshal-admiral (Fleet Admiral) in the Imperial Japanese Navy and one of Japan's greatest naval heroes. He was termed by Western journalists as "the Nelson of the East", after Horatio Nelson, the British admiral who defeated the French and Spanish at Trafalgar.

Tōgō was born on 27 January 1848 (by the Western calendar) in the Kajiya-chō (加治屋町） district of the city of Kagoshima in Satsuma domain (modern-day Kagoshima prefecture), in feudal Japan, the third of four sons of Togo Kichizaemon, a samurai serving the Shimazu daimyo, and Hori Masuko (1812-1901).

Kajiya-chō was one of Kagoshima's samurai housing-districts, in which many other influential figures of the Meiji period were born, such as Saigō Takamori and Ōkubo Toshimichi. They rose to prominent positions under the Meiji Emperor partly because the Shimazu clan had been a decisive military and political factor in the Boshin war against the Tokugawa Shogunate during the Meiji Restoration. Tokugawa conflicts (1863–1869)

Tōgō's first experience at war was at the age of 15 during the Bombardment of Kagoshima (August 1863), in which Kagoshima was shelled by the Royal Navy to punish the Satsuma daimyo for the death of Charles Lennox Richardson on the Tōkaidō highway the previous year (the Namamugi Incident), and the Japanese refusal to pay an indemnity in compensation.

The following year, Satsuma established a navy, in which Tōgō and two of his brothers enrolled. In January 1868, during the Boshin War, Tōgō was assigned to the paddle-wheel steam warship Kasuga, which participated in the Naval Battle of Awa, near Osaka, against the navy of the Tokugawa Bakufu, the first Japanese naval battle between two modern fleets.

As the conflict spread to northern Japan, Tōgō participated as a third-class officer aboard the Kasuga in the last battles against the remnants of the Bakufu forces, the Naval Battle of Miyako and the Naval Battle of Hakodate (1869).

Tōgō studied naval science for seven years in England as an apprentice officer, from 1871 to 1878, together with sixteen (or eleven?) other Japanese students. Tōgō visited London, at that time the largest and most populous city in the world. Many things were strange to Japanese eyes; the round houses made out of stone, the 'number and massiveness of the buildings', 'the furnishings of a commonplace European room', 'the displays in the butchers' shop windows: it took them several days to become accustomed to such an abundance of meat.' The Japanese group was separated and sent to English boardinghouses for individual instruction in English language, customs and manners. Next, Tōgō was sent to Plymouth, where he was assigned as a cadet on HMS Worcester, which was part of the Thames Nautical Training College, in 1872. Tōgō found his cadet rations 'inadequate': "I swallowed my small rations in a moment. I formed the habit of dipping my bread in my tea and eating a great deal of it, to the surprise of my English comrades." This was attributed possibly to Tōgō's 'Far Eastern metabolism', the lack of rice, 'or that some other essential element was missing; or perhaps the climatic differences sharpened his appetite.' Perhaps the excitement of his adventure contributed, or maybe Togo just liked the food. Tōgō's comrades called him 'Johnny Chinaman', being unfamiliar with the 'Orient', and not knowing the difference between Asiatic peoples. 'The young samurai did not like that, and on more than one occasion he put an end to it by blows.' Tōgō also surprised these young Englishmen by graduating second in the class.

During 1875, Tōgō circumnavigated the world as an ordinary seaman on the British training-ship Hampshire, leaving in February and staying seventy days at sea without a port call until reaching Melbourne, eating only salted meat and ship's biscuits. Tōgō 'observed the strange animals on the Southern continent.' On his return, Tōgō had sailed thirty thousand miles. Tōgō suffered a strange illness which severely threatened his eyesight: 'the patient asked his medical advisers to "try everything", and some of their experiments were extremely painful.' Mr. Capel commented later, 'If', he wrote, 'I had not seen with my own eyes what a Japanese can suffer without complaint, I should often have been disinclined to believe....But, having observed Tōgō, I believe all of them.' The Harley Street ophthalmologists saved his eyesight. Tōgō studied mathematics in Cambridge (though not at the University) during this time, while living with Reverend A.S. Capel. Tōgō then went to Portsmouth to continue his training before attending the Royal Naval College, Greenwich. During his stay, the Imperial Japanese Navy placed orders in Great Britain for three warships. Tōgō made use of the opportunity to apply his training, supervising (watching carefully) the construction of the Fusō whilst on work experience at the Samuda Brothers shipyard on the Isle of Dogs.

Tōgō, newly promoted to lieutenant finally returned to Japan on 22 May 1878 onboard one of the newly-purchased British-built ships, the Hiei.

Tōgō was absent from Japan during the Satsuma Rebellion, and often expressed regret for the fate of his benefactor Saigō Takamori.

Back in the Imperial Japanese Navy, Tōgō received several commands, first as captain of Daini Teibo, and then Amagi. During the Franco-Chinese War (1884–1885), Tōgō, onboard Amagi, closely followed the actions of the French fleet under Admiral Courbet.

Tōgō also observed the ground combat of the French forces against the Chinese in Formosa (Taiwan), under the guidance of Joseph Joffre, future Commander-in-Chief of French forces during World War I.

In 1894, at the beginning of the First Sino-Japanese War, Tōgō, as a captain of the cruiser Naniwa, sank the British transport ship, Kowshing, which was chartered by the Chinese Beiyang Fleet to convey troops. A report of the incident was sent by Suematsu Kencho to Mutsu Munemitsu.

The sinking almost caused a diplomatic conflict between Japan and Great Britain, but it was finally recognized by British jurists as in total conformity with International Law, making Tōgō famous overnight for his mastery of contentious issues involving foreign countries and regulations. The British ship had been ferrying hundreds of Chinese soldiers towards Korea, and these soldiers had mutinied and taken over the ship upon the appearance and threats from the Japanese ships.

He later took part in the Battle of the Yalu, with the Naniwa as the last ship in the line of battle under the overall command of Admiral Tsuboi Kōzō. Togo was promoted to rear admiral at the end of the war, in 1895.

After the end of the Sino-Japanese War, Tōgō was successively commandant of the Naval War College (Japan), commander of the Sasebo Naval College, and Commander of the Standing Fleet.

In 1903, the Navy Minister Yamamoto Gonnohyōe appointed Tōgō Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy. This astonished many people, including Emperor Meiji, who asked Yamamoto why Tōgō was appointed. Yamamoto replied to the emperor, "Because Tōgō is a man of good fortune".

During the Russo-Japanese War, Tōgō engaged the Russian navy at Port Arthur and the Yellow Sea in 1904, and destroyed the Russian Baltic Fleet at the Battle of Tsushima in 1905, a battle which shocked the world. Tsushima had broken the Russian strength in East Asia, and is said to have triggered various uprisings in the Russian Navy (1905 uprisings in Vladivostok and the Battleship Potemkin uprising), contributing to the Russian Revolution of 1905.

Post war investigations were held for the Russian naval leadership during those battles, in which Tōgō had either destroyed or captured, into the reasons behind their utter defeat. The Russian commander of the destroyed Baltic fleet, Admiral Zinovy Rozhdestvenski (who was badly wounded in the battle) attempted to take full responsibilities for the disaster, and the grateful authorities (and rulers of Russia) acquitted him at his trial. However, they made Admiral Nikolai Nebogatov, who had tried to affix blame to the Russian Government, a scapegoat. Nebogatov was found guilty, sentenced to ten years imprisonment in a fortress, but was released by the Tsar after only serving 2 years.

Tōgō kept his journals in English, and wrote that "I am firmly convinced that I am the re-incarnation of Horatio Nelson."[2] In 1906, he was made a Member of the British Order of Merit by King Edward VII.

Tōgō was Chief of the Naval General Staff and was given the title of hakushaku (Count) under the kazoku peerage system. He also served as a member of the Supreme War Council. In 1913, Tōgō received the honorific title of Marshal-Admiral. From 1914 to 1924, Tōgō was put in charge of the education of Crown Prince Hirohito, the future Shōwa Emperor.

Tōgō publicly expressed a dislike and disinterest for involvement in politics; however, he did make strong statements against the London Naval Treaty. Captain Sempill showing a Sparrowhawk to Marshal-Admiral Heihachirō Tōgō, 1921.

Tōgō was awarded the Collar of the Supreme Order of the Chrysanthemum in 1926, an honor that was held only by Emperor Hirohito and Prince Kan'in Kotohito at the time. He added the award to his existing Order of the Golden Kite (1st class) and already existing Order of the Chrysanthemum. His title was raised to that of koshaku marquis in 1934 a day before his death.

On his death in 1934 at the age of 86, he was accorded a state funeral. The navies of Great Britain, United States, Netherlands, France, Italy and China all sent ships to a naval parade in his honor in Tokyo Bay. The Tōgō Shrine, in Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan.

In 1940, Tōgō Jinja was built in Harajuku, Tokyo, as the naval rival to the Nogi Shrine erected in the honor of Imperial Japanese Army General Nogi Maresuke. The idea of elevating him to a Shinto kami had been discussed before his death, and he had been vehemently opposed to the idea. There is another Tōgō shrine at Tsuyazaki, Fukuoka. The statues to him in Japan include one at Ontaku Shrine, in Agano, Saitama and one in front of the memorial battleship Mikasa in Yokosuka.

Tōgō's son and grandson also served in the Imperial Japanese Navy. His grandson died in combat during the Pacific War on the heavy cruiser Maya at the Battle of Leyte.

In 1958, Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz, an admirer of Marshal-Admiral Tōgō, helped to finance the restoration of the Mikasa, Admiral Tōgō's flagship during the Russo-Japanese war. In exchange, Japanese craftsmen assembled a Japanese "Garden of Peace," a replica of Marshal-Admiral Tōgō's garden, at the National Museum of the Pacific War (formerly known as The Nimitz Museum) in Fredericksburg, Texas.

Mikasa
The HIJMS Mikasa was a Japanese battleship built in Britain starting in 1899 and completed in 1900. The ship was best known as the flagship of Heihachiro Togo during the battle of Tsushima during the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. The ship also saw action in the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War, a failed attempt by the Allies to re-install the tsarist government in Russia after the Russian Revolution. The ship was state of the art for her time, a pre-dreadnought battleship armed with four 12-inch guns in two turrets, firing 850-pound shells up to 15,000 yards. The ship also carried 14 smaller 6-inch guns in single mounts, and a number of lighter, 12, 3, and 2.5 pounder guns, though these would be of little use for this battleship-vs-battleship match. Finally, the Mikasa carried four 18-inch torpedo tubes. The ship was armored with between 2 and 14 inches of armor, with the heaviest armor being on the barbettes and conning tower, and weakest on the deck. The Mikasa had a top speed of 18 knot (21 mph).

Asahi
The Asahi, like the other battleships operated by Japan at the time, was actually built by a shipyard in the United Kingdom from 1897-1900. The vessel was a pre-dreadnought battleship, armed four 12 inch guns in two turrets, as well 14 6-inch guns mounted in single mounts, as well as a number of smaller guns for protection against torpedo boats. The ship's armor ranged for 2 inches on parts of the casemates to 14 inches on the conning tower. The ship had a top speed of 18 knots.

Shikishima
The Shikishima was one of battleships of its class was built from 1898-1900, the other, the Hatsuse being sunk by a Russian mine in 1904. The ship carried four 12 inch guns in two turrets and 14 6-inch guns, as well as numerous smaller guns and four torpedo tubes. The ship had between 2.5-10 inches of armor. The Shikishima had a top speed of 18 knots.

VS

SCP-682, the regenerative reptilian horror that hates all life on earth and seeks to destroy all of it

WHO IS DEADLIEST?!

=Mako Fujisaki= Mako Fujisaki, also known as Valkyria, is the main antagonist of the manga and anime Gokukoku no Brynhildr. Mako is implied to have been a normal Japanese girl until she was kidnapped by a secret military organization and implanted with an alien parasite in a similar manner to numerous others, including the main cast of the anime. After both Saori and Kikako, another "witch", fail to eliminate Kuroha Neko and the other escaped "witches" who escaped and were subsequently hidden by series protagonist Ryouta Murakami. Fujisaki's powers are massive, being able to use ten abilities, rather than the one or two of most "witches", and is theoretically capable of destroying the entire planet with her antimatter generation powers. Fujisaki was supposed to be held in check by a dozen other witches with power-limiting abilities, however Mako managed to kill all of them and escaped. Shortly afterwards, she demonstrated her powers by generating a piece of antimatter on the a mountaintop viewpoint. Mako teleported away as the antimatter created a nuclear-level explosion which destroyed the entire mountain. As of this point, the manga is ongoing.

Mako Fujisaki's personality can be described is exceedingly sociopathic, having no empathy towards most human beings, only showing affection towards her sister Kuroha Neko, and towards Chisato Ichijuku, an scientist at the facility she had fallen in love with. Otherwise, Mako considers herself to be an almost godlike entity and humans to be lesser life forms, whose lives are of no importance to her. As such, she will kill anyone who even slightly annoys her. Mako, along with Chisato Ichijuku, is confronted by both the anti-Organization resistance group, Hexenjagd, as well as the "witches" allied with Ryouta Murakami, including Kuroha Neko. During the confrontation, Chisato is shot by Hexenjagd agents, who then attempt to eliminate Mako.

Upon seeing the death of her love, Mako declares that she intends to destroy the entire world, and creates a massive ball of antimatter. Kuroha, however, unleashes her until then latent powers, dueling with Mako until she kills her using a micro-black hole.

Antimatter Generation
Mako Fujisaki is capable of generating masses of antimatter on command, and apparently containing them in a vacuum of some description until such a time as she decides to release them. Even a small mass of antimatter is capable of detonating with the force of a nuclear warhead.

Flight
Mako is capable of flight, apparently being able to fly and hover into the air at will.

Regeneration
Mako Fujisaki is capable of regenerating for practically any wound. This is demonstrated when Mako is stabbed in the back of the neck by (newly mobile) Kana Tachibana in a manga-only sequence, a wound should have killed her. Mako later regenerates after large portions of her body is blown away by Kuroha Neko's energy attacks. Mako can, however, be killed if her powers are temporarily disabled by an individual with that ability, or if her entire body is completely destroyed.

Energy Blasts
Mako is capable of firing destructive blasts of energy at her foes. While less powerful than her antimatter attacks, they are still formidable, with firepower ranging from that of an RPG to a large aerial bomb.

Spontaneous Cutting Attack
Mako Fujisaki is capable of using a spontaneous cutting attack similar to that used by Saori, though she is likely able to do it at a greater range than Saori. The attack is capable of cutting at will in any direction, and cutting even through solid steel. The attack does, however, have a limited range, which manifests as a "dome of light" shortly before she performs the attack, giving warning of the range of the attack.

Teleportation
Mako Fujisaki is capable of teleporting long distances at will. Unlike fellow teleporter Kotori Takatori, whose teleportation abilities are limited to being able to "trade places" withe people in her field of visions, Mako has no such limitations on her teleportation.

Vague Future prediction
Mako Fujisaki is capable of predicting future events, but only very vaguely. This is the only ability where Mako is surpassed by a lower-ranking "witch", namely Kana Tachibana. If the subject of the prediction's actions change event in the future, the contents of the prediction will change.

Gravity Manipulation
Mako Fujisaki is known to possess the power of gravity manipulation, however, she does not seem to use it in the anime or the manga, except perhaps to allow her to fly. It is known, however, that his is NOT capable of manipulating gravity to the point of generating a black hole.

"Magic User" Detection
Mako is able to detect other "magic users/witches", allowing her to easily home in on her foes. This will NOT, however, register 682, so it will be of no use in this fight.

Telekinesis
Mako Fujisaki is capable of telekinetically manipulating objects. Most frequently, she uses this ability to create a barrier capable of deflecting enemy attacks.

Telepathy
Mako Fujisaki possesses at least a limited ability to telepathically communicate with others, or, at least to read the mind of her victims. She has not, however, shown any ability to modify the memories of her victims, unlike Nanami Tokou.

Gravity Manipulation
Mako is capable of gravity manipulation to the point that she is able to hover- her flight ability is likely a function of this. She is not, however, capable of generating micro-black holes, unlike her sister, Kuroha Neko. =SCP-682= SCP-682 is a major character in the SCP universe, a fictional universe created on the internet by a variety of authors, featuring a fictional organization known as SCP: Secure, Contain, Protect, involved in containing and researching paranormal, alien, and other mysterious phenomena. 692 is one of most dangerous beings contained at SCP, is a large, reptilian creature of unknown, possibly extradimensional origins, or possibly a "glitch in the universe". The creature displays human or greater levels of intelligence, having the ability to speak, and expresses a desire to destroy all life on earth. Based on the size of its containment facility, the creature is typically no more than five meters in length, though it can change its size and shape when it consumes organic material, at one point becoming large enough to take down a helicopter with a tentacle-like appendage. The creature is capable of continuing to move with 87% of its original mass destroyed, and can regenerate from the destruction of 99%. 682 can be incapacitated, but not killed by, acid immersion, fire, and explosions, but cannot be destroyed unless all mass in his body is destroyed. Other mysterious objects and entities held at SCP have also failed to kill 682, including a crystal that crystallizes anything it touches, a creature that kill a target just by looking at it, and an ancient, immortal swordsman who can materialize blades out of thin air. It was even defeated the creation of a set of mysterious bookends that make any story placed inside them into reality, in this case, equipped with an SCP-employee written story called "The Generally Nice, Friendly Thing That Can And Will Kill SCP–682 Permanently if it So Much As Spots That Damn Lizard". When 682 was lured into a room that had been changed into the reality of the story, sounds of battle were heard, and SCP-682 exited the room, albeit injured, and the proceeded to attack the researchers involved in the termination attempt. After containing 682, a team was sent into world of the story to retrieve the bookends (and thus dispel the "story world"). Inside, they found impact craters and many bloody fragments of the creature that was meant to kill 682. The story in the bookends was now much longer, a 202-page account of an epic battle between the story protagonist and 682, which 682 won. The story was now titled "The Generally Nice, Friendly Thing That Tried To Kill SCP–682 Permanently But Failed"

Melee Attacks/Massive Strength
Depending on its form, SCP-682 has a variety of melee attacks, augmented by its massive strength at its disposal. The creature has large, sharp-toothed jaws, which it devours it prey. Its limbs possess razor-sharp claws which it can grow as large as a two-handed battle axe. It also has bony plates on its "fist" capable of delivering crushing blows capable crushing metal and concrete, and a bony tail club similar to that of a Stegosaurus. Finally, it has been known to create a long tentacle-like structure, perhaps as long as 100 feet, capable of bringing down an attack helicopter.

Shapeshifting
SCP-682 is capable of changing its shape and size, though all forms are capable retain the general reptilian morphology, provided it consumes enough material, either organic or inorganic. These can include adaptations to defend against new threats, including an anteater-like tongue to deal with a horde of flesh-eating insects, dermal armor over the eyes, and multiple eyes to prevent it from being attacked by SCP-173.

Regeneration
SCP-682 has remarkable skills of regeneration, being to move and speak even after losing 87% of its original mass. The creature is even capable of regenerating from the destruction of 99 percent of its body on a mollecular level.

Intelligence
SPC-682 is of human or greater intelligence, proving itself able to speak in an extremely low-pitched voice. 682 expresses a hatred for all life and a desire to destroy all of it. The creature shows no hostility towards machines, even sentient artificial intelligences, and is known to have figured out how to operate a computer, creating an appendage capable of using keyboard. SCP-682 rarely expresses emotions other than anger or hatred, but it is apparently capable of feeling fear, though currently the only thing it is known to fear is SCP-173, an animated concrete statue known to be capable of moving and attacking any living thing it come near, but only when it is not within the line of sight of at least one individual.

"Shockwave Attack"
SCP-628 has been known to unleash a damaging shockwave from his body. The exact nature of this ability is unknown, though it seems to create some sort of electrical discharge. It is also described as resonating through the fabric of reality itself.

Bony Dermal Armor
SCP-682 is covered in bony dermal armor, implied to be thick enough to resist fire from a high-powered sniper rifle.

=Rayet Areash (Aldnoah Zero) vs Gai Tsutsugami (Guilty Crown)=

Gai Tsutsugami
Gai Tsutsugami is a major character in the 2011 anime Guilty Crown. Gai is the leader of a resistance organization known as the Undertakers, a group fighting to liberate Japan from GHQ, a military organization that took control of Japan after the country was devastated by the mysterious Apocalypse Virus. Gai meets Shu Ouma, the main character of the anime after Shu is sent by a girl named Inori Yuzuriha to deliver a package to him. On the way, Shu comes in contact with the package and gains a mysterious power to pull weapons and other objects out a person's body. The object pulled out varies depending on the person. Gai allows Shu to join the Undertakers after he destroys a couple of GHQ mechs. Gai accompanies Shu into the control center of a GHQ laser satellite, destroying the weapon, and while he is at it, destroying a mech using only a grappling hook and his Luger, destroying the machine by shooting it in a weak point on top of the vehicle. Later, Gai and Shu attack the central base of GHQ itself, in Odaiba, Tokyo. In there, they discover a number GHQ scientists are attempting to control the Apocalypse Virus, using a girl who was also Shu's long lost sister, Mana.

Gai and Mana are apparently killed, with only Shu escaping. Gai, however, is not dead. Instead, he returns with the support of GHQ and steals Ouma's powers by cutting off the arm that came contact with the package. Shu discovers that Gai is part of Da'at, an ancient conspiracy to use the Apocalypse Virus to bring about the evolution of the human race. Shu and Gai fight each other a final time in the GHQ headquarters, wher Gai and Mana, who Inori Yuzuriha is actually a second personality of, intend to transmit the Apocalypse virus to the entire world and become the "Adam and Eve" of a new human race. The fight results Gai and Mana's death. Shortly afterwards, through some process even I did not quite understand, Inori somehow separates from Mana and sacrifices herself, curing the Apocalypse virus. Yeah... It was one of those endings...

Rayet Areash
Rayet Areash was the daughter of a spy working for the Martian Vers Empire living in Tokyo. After the princess of the empire, Aeseylum Vers Allusia visited earth on a peace mission, Rayet's father destroyed her motorcade with anti-tank missiles, being promised a title of nobility in the Vers Empire, which carried with it the power to control the ancient alien super-technology of Aldnoah. Rayet's father was send to assassinate her as part of a plot by the Vers Orbital Knights to create an excuse to invade Earth. Instead, when Rayet's father met Sir Trillam of the Vers Empire, he crushes him and all of the other conspirators under his mech in order to silence them. Rayet is the lone survivor.

Rayet, however, is rescued by Yuki Kaizuka, a Terran mech pilot, and her younger brother, Inaho, a high school student drafted into a militia. Rayet quickly proves herself skilled in the use of firearms, in close combat, and aids Inaho in destroying Trillam's mech, or Kataphrakt, which, like all Martian war machines, can challenge armies of conventional troops, but has weak points that can be easily exploited if they are discovered. Later, Rayet kills the Vers Countess Femieanne using a sniper cannon-equipped KG-7 Arion Kataphrakt. =Weapons=

Luger P08 and Grappling Hook(Gai)
The Pistole Parabellum 1908 or Parabellum-Pistole (Pistol Parabellum) — popularly known as the Luger — is a toggle-locked recoil-operated semi-automatic pistol. The design was patented by Georg J. Luger in 1898 and produced by German arms manufacturer Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) starting in 1900; it was an evolution of the 1893 Hugo Borchardt designed C-93. The first Parabellum pistol was adopted by the Swiss army in May 1900. In German army service it was succeeded and partly replaced by the Walther P38 in caliber 9x19mm. The Luger had a range of 50 meters and fired from an 8-round magazine. Gai also carries a portable grappling hook, which he uses at one point to pull himself up onto an enemy mech and shoot several vulnerable, yet vital components with his pistol, destroying the machine.

Glock 17 (Rayet)
The Glock handgun series is one of the most modern firearms available on the market to civilians, coming into service in the 1980's. It fires the standard 9x19mm Parabellum round, but can fire other rounds, depending on the variation of the gun. It is widely used by police and paramilitary forces and is popular with noncombatants due to its ease of use and handling. Rayet's Glock will be assumed to be a 9mm Glock 17, with a 17-round magazine and a range of 50 meters.

119's Edge
The Glock has almost 100 years of technological advances over the Luger, resulting in a superior magazine capacity and ergonomics, allowing for greater accuracy. Not to mention the "knee joint" mechanism that obscures the Luger user's aim after each shot. While the Grappling hook gives Gai more tactical options, it does not remove the fact that his pistol is woefully outdated. Edge: Rayet

AK-47 (Gai)
The AK-47 is an Russian assault rifle designed by Mikhael Kalashnikov in 1947. Since then, millions of AK-47s and other weapons derived from the AK-47, such as the AKM, AK-74, and RPK, have been produced and used by numerous militaries, paramilitary organization, terrorist groups, criminals, and other armed organizations. Because of its ubiquitousness, the AK is probably the best known assault rifle in the world, having been used in countless armed conflicts since its introduction and appearing in numerous forms of media, including films, TV shows, print media, video games, and even on the national flag of the African country of Mozambique. The AK-47 will, for the purposes of this match, have a 30-round magazine firing 7.62mm rounds at a rate of fire of 600 rpm. The weapon had a maximum effective range of 400 meters.

AR-18 (Rayet)
While this only appears in a fanart, I am going to include this to make this match fair. The AR-18 is a gas operated, selective fire assault rifle chambered for 5.56x45mm ammunition. The AR-18 was designed at ArmaLite in California by Arthur Miller, George Sullivan, and Charles Dorchester in 1963 as an improved alternative to the AR-15 design, which had just been selected by the U.S. military as the M16. While the AR-18 was never adopted as the standard service rifle of any nation, its production licence was sold to companies in Japan and England, and it is said to have influenced many later weapons such as the British SA80,[1] the Singaporean SAR-80 and SR-88, the Austrian Steyr AUG, and the Heckler and Koch G36. It gained some notoriety through its use by the Provisional IRA, which allegedly christened it the "Widowmaker". (From Wikipedia). The weapon had a rate of fire of 750 rounds per minute, and for the purposes of this match, a 30-round magazine.

119's Edge
Rayet's AR-18 for its superior rate of fire, and the superior ballistic performance of the 5.56mm round, meaning greater accuracy and ballistic performance.

SMAW (Gai)
The SMAW, or Shoulder-launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon, is an American/Israeli rocket launcher. It is best used against bunkers or other defensive emplacements as well as combat vehicles. It was introduced to the U.S. military in 1984. It is usable by a one-man crew, which gives it a mobility advantage over other rocket launchers that require a two-man crew for use. The weapon has a range of 500 meters.

Milkor MGL (Rayet)
The MGL (Multiple Grenade Launcher) is a lightweight 40 mm semi-automatic, 6-shot grenade launcher developed and manufactured in South Africa by Milkor (Pty) Ltd. The weapon is capable of rapidly firing off multiple grenades, unlike most launchers, which require reloading after every shot, giving the user a considerable advantage in firepower. The launcher has a maximum range of 400 meters.

119's Edge
Gai's SMAW has a greater range and fires a larger warhead, but Rayet's MGL has a greater rate of fire with its six-round revolver design. At least for now, I'm calling this even. =X-Factors=

Explanations
In terms of Combat Experience, Gai has been fighting presumably for years, whereas Rayet only began fighting after he father was killed, only a course of a few months, though she is presumed to have been trained by marksmanship and the operation of military vehicles by her father, a secret agent of the Vers Empire, while Gai is assumed to be mostly self-taught in terms of combat, or at least to have less training. In terms of marksmanship, Rayet and Gai seem to be about even, though Gai takes the definitive edge in unarmed combat with his great skill in martial arts, and also a slight edge in agility, which he masterfully combines with his grappling hook to gain a jump opponents, even if said opponent happens to be an armored mech. Rayet, however, has newer, more reliable weapons, giving her an edge in that department. Finally, both Rayet and Gai are about even in terms of killer instinct, but Gai takes a slight edge as his final goal literally involves the death of almost of the entire human population. Rayet, however, is not close behind, at least initially planning to kill any citizen of the Vers Empire she encounters, in order to avenge her father, though she does actually help save the life of Princess Asseylum Vers Allusia (who she previously attempted to strangle in a shower) after realizing her tactical value. Gai's omnicidal mission also means that he scores far lower in the mental health score than Rayet, who, admittedly was driven to a genocidal rage at one point, but seems to have come back to reality, while Gai is consumed by his insane goals, eventually costing him his life.

=Armored Support=

Steiner Endlave Mech (Gai)
The Steiner Endlave (Endoskeleton Remote Slave Armor) is a type of unmanned ground vehicle capable of assuming both a humanoid "mech mode" and a lower-lying, faster "tank mode" rolling on wheels. In both modes, the vehicle is capable of firing its autocannon and missiles, and it also carries a blade from close combat. In both modes, the vehicle is extremely fast and agile, with with it being able to use jump-jets in "mech mode" to make short jumps, thought it is incapable of flight. The Endlave is piloted remotely, which does not place the pilot in direct danger, however, the neural interface piloting system has the unusual side effect (and, if it was intentionally included, foolish design choice), causing the pilot to feel damage to the vehicle as pain in their own body, sometimes severe enough to slow response times.

Pilot: Ayase Shinomiya
Ayase Shinomiya is a member of the resistance group known as the "Undertakers" opposed to GHQ. In spite of being bound to a wheel chair, Ayase is capable of operating the Endlave thanks to its unmanned nature, and is an expert pilot, capable of engaging in combat with GHQ Endlaves, including ace pilot Daryl Yan. Ayase is strong willed, and kind those she considers friends, but can be very rude to those who annoy her, and is easily angered if someone pities her for being in a wheelchair, of if they seem to be looking at her in what she believes is a sexual way. Perhaps striving to compensate for her disability, Ayase possesses considerable upper body strength and is in good physical condition, even practicing martial arts techniques that require only the use of upper body, surprising Shu Ouma by throwing him to the floor when he angered her. Ayase is also a competent shot with firearms, including an AT4, which she uses to shoot down a GHQ attack helicopter in one sequence.

Autocannon
The primary armament of the Endlave Steiner is a an automatic cannon similar in appearance to an oversized assault rifle. When used in combat, the cannon will be assumed to fire a combination of armor-piercing and high explosive ammunition. The weapon produces a distinct blue muzzle flash, suggesting that, while it is clearly a ballistic weapon based on the sound, the cannon may use a different propellant, presumably with a higher muzzle velocity.

Blade
The Endlave also carries a large blade, similar to an upscaled tanto-point combat knife, for close combat. The blade is about as long as a man is tall, and can cut through steel armor when wielded in the mechanical hands of the Endlave.

Missile Launchers
While I'm not sure (been a couple years since I saw the anime) if the Steiner model Endlave is ever seen using these weapons, it will be assumed to carry multiple launchers for missiles designed for use against armored targets such as tanks and other Endlaves. The weapon carried three launchers, capable of firing three shots simultaneously.

KG-6 Sleipnir Kataphrakt Mech (Rayet)
The KG-6 Sleipnir Kataphrakt is a piloted human war machine similar to a "mecha" of a science-fiction anime. The Sleipnir is an older model compared to the KG-7 Arion, and is thus relegated to training purposes, with some trainees being as young as high school students drafted into a militia-type unit, suggesting the machine relatively simple to operate. Compared to the more advanced Arion, the Sleipnir has less armor, but is more agile, a feature making it the favored vehicle of Inaho Kaizuka, a teenage militia pilot who proves to possess previously unknown tactical genius. In addition to the standard armaments of a 70mm autocannon and an optional sniper cannon, "pistol cannon", and "knife", the vehicle also can carry various bolt-on extras such as parachutes, jump jets, parachutes, reactive armor, and missile launchers.

Pilot: Inaho Kaizuka
Inaho Kaizuka is the younger sister of military Kataphrakt pilot Yuki Kaizuka, and was involved with a reserve militia program training high school students to operate the Kataphrakts when the Martian invasion began. Inaho quickly proves himself to be a highly skilled pilot, as well as a highly intelligent tactician. Inaho manages to figure out the weakness of the Martian's highly advanced Kataphrakts capable of engaging entire conventional armies, and succeeds in destroying two of them and crippling two more, succeeding where conventional military forces failed.

75mm Autocannon
The primary armament of UE Kataphrakts such as Inaho's KG-6 is a 75mm automatic cannon. The weapon is capable of firing armor-piercing or high-explosive rounds at a considerable rate of fire.

Underbarrel Cannon/Launcher
The 75mm cannon also mounts a short-barreled mortar/launcher of about 200mm under the barrel. The weapon is capable of launching standard explosive shells, as well as smoke rounds and presumably some sort of anti-aircraft missile.

"Pistol" Cannon
A short barreled cannon similar in appearance to an oversized handgun. The weapon is a back-up weapon should the 75mm round out of ammo, and is assumed to have a magazine of no more than 20 rounds.

Blade
Essentially a scaled-up tanto-point combat knife. Not really much else to say here.

Shoulder Missiles
The KG-6 can be armed with a rack of surface-to-surface missiles on its shoulders. The vehicle carries sixteen missiles, and they can be independently targeted at multiple enemies. =Mech Support X-Factors=

Explanations
Inaho and Ayase are both extremely skilled pilots, however, I give Inaho the edge in terms of combat experience as, while Ayase generally fought opponents who were evenly matched. In fact, her Endlave might have been a shade better, Inaho has repeatedly fought technologically superior adversaries and repeatedly won. Inaho's victories were in most part thanks to his superior tactics. While Ayase is by no means stupid, in general, Gai is the real "brains behind the operation". As far the mechs themselves, Ayase's Endlave Steiner is build for speed, in both its tank and mech form. On the other, Inaho's Kataphrakt carries a heavier armament, however, both mechs are lighter, and sacrifice armor for speed.

Leonard
Leonard is a playable co-op character in Far Cry 3. He is a crooked Irish-American ex-cop from Philadelphia. According the survival guide, the police database shows that Leonard grew up as a city boy in Philadelphia and followed in his father’s steps as a police officer. As he climbed the ranks, his ethics dimmed, leading to a forced departure from the department. Notorious for vulgar humor, in battle he’s at the top of the food chain." (Modified from Far Cry Wiki)

Machete
A Machete is a large, heavy-bladed knife about 18 inches in length used in many tropical areas, most notably Latin America and Africa. The machete is used as a tool for cutting brush and harvesting sugar cane, as well as opening coconuts and other tough fruits and nuts. The machete is also commonly used as a weapon, particularly amongst militias and rebels in Africa and Latin America, and is often issued to military units operating in tropical areas. Similar weapons include the Filipino bolo, Nepalese kukri, and Japanese nata.

Heckler and Koch MP5
The Heckler and Koch MP5 is a submachine gun chambered for the 9mm round. Since the 1960s, the weapon has been popular around the world and is currently a popular weapon used by law-enforcement agencies, special forces groups, and terrorists. Through the success of the G3 battle rifle, the MP5 war created and the design of the submachine gun was based upon the rifle. The weapon was immediately was adopted by 40 countries several years after it was manufactured and by numerous law enforcement and security organizations. The rate of fire, accuracy, and light-weight of the gun was what made it successful. Their are currently 22 variants of the MP5, the two most popular being the MP5A4 and the MP5K. The weapon has a 32-round magazine, a range of 200 meters and a rate of fire of 900 rpm.

Tisha
She was once served in the United States Marine Corps as a combat medic. However, after killing a man who attempted to rape a girl she went on the run. She is on the boat for this reason, running from justice and possibly drawn to the Rook Islands for their remote and lawless nature.

Machete

Similar weapons include the Filipino bolo, Nepalese kukri, and Japanese nata.

Patriot Ordnance P-416
The Patriot Ordnance Factory PA-416 is a 5.56mm assault carbine designed for close-quarters combat by law enforcement and military users. The weapon has numerous attachment rails for attachments, including an ACOG-style scope. The weapon is capable of fully automatic fire, though I could not find information on the rate of fire. The weapon's range is also unknown to me, though it has a short barrel, so likely less than the M4.

Kimber Warrior
The Kimber MCSOCOM ICQB is a 5" barreled aluminum-framed 1911 chambered in .45 ACP custom built for the US Marine Corps. It features a bolt on Dawson Precision light rail, Novak night sights, and omits the full length guide rod and firing pin block of other Kimber models to make field stripping easier. The weapon fires a .45 ACP round from an 8-round magazine.

Callum
Callum is a playable co-op character in Far Cry 3. Serving as a possible leader of his group Callum is a petty criminal and chef born in Scotland. It is unknown if he is the real leader of his group but he seems to have taken the position.

Callum can also be identified as a fan of the Scottish football club Rangers. This is evidenced by the fact that when his 'football fan' costume is chosen, his t-shirt is an almost exact replica of Rangers' 2011–2012 home shirt, only missing the shirt manufacturer and shirt sponsor, and with a changed crest, similar to Frank Bilder's GAA jacket from Far Cry 2.

Growing up in the projects of Glasgow, Callum developed an early attachment to knives. At six, he won his first knife fight. At 12, he was already leading a street gang of his own. He spent part of his teenage years working as a chefs' apprentice in Wales.

After years of dodging serious trouble, Callum's ruthless spirit finally took its toll. He picked a fight with the wrong man, snapped and incidentally beat him to a pulp. Hunted by police and gang members, he fled Scotland and found a job on the SS Astrid.

Callum has a cynical, black-humoured point of view, but becomes aggressive, ruthless and, at times, psychotic when provoked.

Machete

Similar weapons include the Filipino bolo, Nepalese kukri, and Japanese nata.

Ultimax 100
The Ultimax 100 is a Singaporean light machine gun firing the NATO 5.56mm round, intended as a squad support weapon to play a similar role to the SAW. The Ultimax has a range of up to about 1200 meters and a rate of fire of 400-600 RPM. The weapon typically uses a 100-round drum magazine, though it can accept 30-round STANAG magazines in an emergency.

GM-94
The GM-94 is a Russian made pump-action grenade launcher similar in principle to the American China Lake Grenade Launcher. The weapon fires 43mm rounds from a three-round magazine, with a fourth round in the chamber. While the launcher was intended for thermobaric rounds with a lower blast radius, designed to allow it to be used at closer ranges, the GM-94 in Far Cry 3 appears to use a (possibly fictional) high explosive fragmentation round, and will use the same round for the purposes of this match.

Mikhail
Mikhail is a playable co-op character in Far Cry 3. He is a Russian hitman.

As a street orphan, Mikhail’s youth was marked with abuse and abandonment. It was not until his teenage years that he found his path and fell in with an elite league of criminals, known for its strict code of conduct that extolled honour and resistance against authority. After two stints in jail and years of devotion, he was crowned a leader of his gang and became the right-hand man to his mentor. But when he fell in love and eloped, breaking his league’s code, he was forced to flee and put his wife, Katya, and newborn daughter into hiding. Now he is working aboard the SS Astrid to earn what money he can to start a new life outside Russia. Always one step ahead, he is calm and collected in battle. His mercy extends to no one.

Sheriff Carl Parsons
Carl Parsons is the Trumball County Sheriff, and plays a role in some secondary missions in the main State of Decay story. In the Breakdown DLC, he becomes a playable character when he joins forces with the player's group of survivors. Before he was the sheriff, Parsons was a veteran officer who was often trusted with instructing rookies in the field. Parsons prefers the large caliber S&W 500 revolver as a sidearm over small weapons.

Collapsable Baton
A collapsable baton is a type of metal police baton designed to be collapsed when not in use. While designed as a non-lethal weapon, the baton can cause severe or even fatal injuries with strikes to the head.

Heckler and Koch MP5
The Heckler and Koch MP5 is a submachine gun chambered for the 9mm round. Since the 1960s, the weapon has been popular around the world and is currently a popular weapon used by law-enforcement agencies, special forces groups, and terrorists.

Smith and Wesson 500
The Smith & Wesson Model 500 is a five-shot, double-action revolver produced by Smith & Wesson, firing the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge at ranges up to 200 yards. The weapon is built on an "X-Frame" design and is known for being one of the most powerful handguns in the world, outclassed by very few. While the weapon is extremely powerful, the main drawback comes from its massive recoil, which drastically increased the time for target reacquisition.

Zeika Rivera
Zeika is a former mercenary and wanted criminal who has been hiding out the wilderness of the Trumball Valley for years. After the zombie outbreak, she joined forces with a group of other survivors. Zeika's favored weapons are an AK-47 which has been heavily modified with after-market parts and a Filipino Igorot battle axe.

AK-47 Custom
The AK-47 Custom in State of Decay is an AK-47 assault rifle with numerous after-market modification typically sold on the civilian market in the United States and other countries where weapons like the AK are civilian legal, and are also sometimes privately purchased by soldiers. The weapon is equipped with MAGPUL-style telescopic stock, plastic foregrip, a shortened barrel, and a plastic 30-round magazine. Like the original AK, it is chambered from 7.62mmx39 Soviet rounds, and will be assumed to have the same range of 400 meters and rate of fire of 600 rpm.

Igorot Axe
The Igorot or headhunting axe is a type of axe used as both a tool and weapon by the Igorots of the Filipino Kalinga tribe. The axe is a lightweight weapon, with an axe head that tapers to a point, as well as a spike on the back of the blade. Both ends of the weapon can be deadly in skilled hands, easily cleaving through flesh and bone. The Igorot axe in State of Decay has a handle of about two feet in length.

PFC K.C. Winters
Private First Class K.C. Winters is a soldier in the US Army deployed to Trumball Valley in order to restore order. In the main story, he contracts Black Fever and is abandoned to die, however, in the Breakdown storyline, Winters is still abandoned when the Army pulls out, but does not contract Black Fever. Winters is forced to join a group of civilian survivors, where his skilled marksman with assault weapons and his great physical strength make him a powerful ally.

Shovel
Winter's primary melee weapon is a simple shovel, appearing to a scavenged civilian model rather than a military issue entrenching tool, given its longer handle. The shovel has a longer attack time than some other melee weapons, however, its heavy blade can cause sever blunt and limited sharp force trauma.

M27 IAR w/ C-mag
The M27 Infantry Automatic rifle is a 5.56mm M16/M4 pattern rifle with intended to partially replace the M249 SAW in US Marine Corps service. The weapon has a rate of fire of 700-850 rounds per minute and an effective range of 550 meters. The weapon typically uses a 30-round STANAG magazine, sacrificing capacity and sustained fire for mobility, however, Winter's M27 is equipped with a C-mag 100-round dual drum magazine, giving it a sustained fire capability similar to an M249.

Milkor MGL
The MGL (Multiple Grenade Launcher) is a lightweight 40 mm semi-automatic, 6-shot grenade launcher developed and manufactured in South Africa by Milkor (Pty) Ltd. The weapon is designed to provide an advantage in rate of fire over single shot grenade launchers, as it is capable of firing six grenades before requiring a reload, however, it is a standalone system, meaning the user must switch to a pistol, rifle, or other weapon if they are forced to engage in close combat. The weapon has an effective range of 375 meters with standard high explosive rounds.

Cutter Mattock
A cutter mattock, also known as a root chopper, is a type of tool which combines a pickaxe and a narrow axe head into one tool. The pick head is used for breaking apart hard soil and rocks, while the axe head is designed for chopping roots. While not designed as a weapon, both ends of the tool can be very dangerous if used as such.

=Jiralhanae (Halo) vs First Demonic Division (Salvation War series)= The Jiralhanae, the bloodthirsty ape-like aliens who formed the shock troops of the Covenant Empire

VS

The First Demonic Division, a US-supported unit of demons created after humanity conquers hell itself... to fight against a corrupt God.

WHO IS DEADLIEST?!

=Jiralhanae= A Fearsome and barbaric people, the Jiralhanae, better known as the Brutes, are native to the magma-heated Earth-like planet, Doisac. The Brutes raised their civilization to a Space-Age level, before they were torn apart in a bloody civil war that reduced their population and crippled their technology and culture. However, their savagery and skill in battle did not go unnoticed, and when they were in this weakened state, The Covenant Empire launched a full invasion, quickly pummeling the Brutes and absorbing them into the Covenant ranks in 2492. Intially meant only to serve as guards and heavy infantry, the Jiralhanae proved incredibly quick converts- they quickly adapted and molded to the Prophet's religion, and despite their inability to truly grasp ideas like sanctity, they quickly became devout and even fanatical to The Great Journey.With my blessing, the Brutes now lead our fleets! They ask for your allegiance, and you shall give it!"

The Brutes have fought in the Covenant since before the war with the UNSC, but their deployment was rare. Early sightings of their deployment after the Fall of Harvest was met with surprise and confusion from the UNSC Spirit of Fire and her crew, while other Brute forces were deployed in small numbers to Reach. The first time the Brutes saw major action as a ground force was after the destruction of the first Halo Ring and the invasion of Earth by the Covenant. Here, Brutes appeared in many major supporting roles under the leadership of Tartarus. After a great deal of fighting, the Prophets announced that the Elites were to be terminated and phased out of the Covenant, being replaced with the stronger and more fanatical Brutes. This lead to a massive Civil War within the Covenant, as the Brutes quickly took the Elites by surprise and killed many. The Arbiter was able to rally many Covenant Forces to his side, and after killing Tartarus, he split off and founded the Covenant Seperatists. After this split, the Brutes took full control of the Invasion of Earth, while they won many battles, they eventually lost the war- their Prophets all dead and their Great Journey forever halted.

After the Human-Covenant War, the exact fate of the Jiralhanae people is unknown. While some groups have splintered off and engaged each other in civil wars as they did in the generations prior to their adoption into the Covenant, a huge number of Brute forces were left in hostile territory after the war, and their warrior nature would not lead to retreat. Reports that a lack of Covenant supplies and troops, combined with the return to classic Brute Savagery allowed the UNSC and Covenant Seperatists to gain the upper hand and push them out.

Leader: Tartarus
Tartarus is easily recognized by his silver fur, very deep voice, his distinctive "Mohawk", and the fact that he wielded the Fist of Rukt. His devotion and faithfulness to the Covenant and the Prophets is unwavering, and he strongly represents the general attitude of his entire race: rough, arrogant, and disdainful of the Sangheili. He was a powerful, aggressive, and intelligent leader who inspired both fear and respect in his Jiralhanae forces. Tartarus is also the nephew of Maccabeus, whom he killed on the bridge of Rapid Conversion in order to gain the position of the Chieftain of the Jiralhanae. Also, Sergeant Johnson refers to Tartarus as "Mr. Mohawk" on Halo 2's last mission, when talking to Thel 'Vadam.

=First Demonic Division= '''WARNING: This page contains spoilers and is features a character from a web novel that people of some religious faiths may find contraversial. You have been warned.'''

The First Demonic Division is a US supported division in Stuart Slade's Salvation War series of web novels. In this series, in 2008, humanity receives a message from a being claiming to be God, declaring the beginning of the apocalypse, stating the all mankind was condemned to hell, and commanding all humans to die. Most people, however, ignore the message until "demonic heralds" appear, declaring earth under the dominion of Satan. The heralds are engaged by military forces, who quickly discover that the demons are not only mortal, but are easily killed by modern military hardware. This prompts almost all nations on Earth to literally declare war on both God and Satan. A demonic invasion force appears in Iraq, only be routed by US and allied armor, before the the armies of Earth literally launch a counterattack through the portal to hell and easily rout the demons on their home turf, liberating billions of humans in the "Hell Pit", where some had been tortured for millenia. By this point, it become apparent that both God and Satan, as well as many other "gods" and "demons" of mythology are not actually supernatural beings, but extradimensional aliens, with extraordinary biological abilities such as bio-electricity and the ability to open portals, which made them seem godlike to ancient peoples, but were less impressive to anyone who had seen a tank!

After Satan is literally killed by a pair of anti-ship missiles, Abigor, a demon lord who defected to the side of humanity after seeing their firepower is made the leader of most of a new hell, save for the New Roman Republic, a nation of deceased "second lifers" led by consuls Julius Caesar and downed US helicopter pilot Jade Kim. Both the US and the New Roman Republic deploy defected demons as troops, though they are mostly armed with upscaled .94 Nitro (round designed for the larger demons) version of the 19th century British Martini-Henry Rifle to keep them from getting too powerful.

While there were initial difficulties with training the demons to fight alongside humans in a modern war, human authorities, particularly the New Roman Republic, managed to produce effective fighting forces supported by human specialists and vehicle crews. Both the First Demonic and the Roman demonic legions served the war against heaven, where, along with the human militaries, proved superior to the Angelic Host, who were armed with ancient weapons, bioelecticity, and sonic "trumpet blasts". In spite of this, the Roman demonic legions had to support the First Demonic after they were almost overrun by a large group of "angels". The Salvation War ended when the US destroyed a massive angelic army with a nuclear missile, and the archangel Michael, a secret human sympathizer, staged a coup against God himself, in order to prevent the Eternal City from falling victim to a nuclear attack.

It is not known what happens after this, as Stuart Slade's third novel in the series Lords of War, has not been written, and will likely never be written.

Leader: Abigor
Prior to the Salvation War, Abigor was a greater demon, a vassal of Satan himself. When Hell attempted to invade Earth, Abigor was chosen to be the commander of the army, which he led out of a portal, into the Iraqi desert. There, Abigor's forces were men by US, British, Iranian, Iraqi insurgent, and other human military forces now united against his invasion. While Abigor's flying "harpies" managed down a few AH-6 Little Bird helicopters, Abigor's forces, who had no idea just how much technologically advanced humanity actually was, were decimated by attacks from tanks, artillery, fighter and bomber aircraft, as well as land mines, while their bio-electric "lightning" proved useless against human vehicles. The demons managed to make a brief breakthrough at the Iraqi town of Hit, which was defended only by US infantry, who discovered that 5.56mm ammunition was not sufficient to pierce the thick skin of the demons. The US forces, however, managed to counterattack using grenades, AT4s, .50 caliber firearms, and mortars, aided by Iraqi insurgents armed with RPGs, car bombs, and suicide bombers. The US forces in Hit were reinforced by armor, and the demons were pushed back. US and allied armor then made a flanking maneuver, cutting off the demon from the hellmouth, leaving them with no choice but to surrender or die. Abigor, however, escaped back to hell, only to be ordered by Satan himself, along with his family, to charge the human forces personally. Knowing this was a suicide mission he and his family were sent on as punishment for their failure, Abigor surrenders to a unit of US armor, and later defects the US, providing valuable intelligence on the environment in hell, as well as the various races of demons. During this time, Abigor also takes up the hobby of studying human military history. Abigor takes part in the entry into an underground chamber where Satan was holding court as his empire crumbled around him, until he was killed by human missiles sent through a portal. The rest of the demons surrender to Abigor, now armed with a custom 30mm rifle made from a British RARDEN cannon, and the human special forces who enter with him. After the fall of hell, Abigor is made the leader of a new human-aligned hell, and provides demonic troops for the war against God and Heaven.

As a greater demon, Abigor is much larger than other races of demon. Abigor is about 15 feet tall, and comes with all the strength of a being of that size, easily wielding a the 30mm rifle, based on a vehicle-mounted weapon.

=Weapons=

Gravity Hammer (Brutes)
The Gravity Hammer is a traditional weapon of the Jiralhanae, a large hammer with a massive head an a handle of about five feet in length. The striking force of the hammer is augmented by an artificial gravity generator that greatly increased the force of impact, unleashing a powerful shockwave. The weapon also has a blade on the back which can also be used in close combat.

Trident (Demons)
"Demons" in the Salvation War universe use bronze tridents as their primary weapons. In addition to using them as thrusting weapons, they also use the prongs of the trident to channel their natural bio-electricity, allowing them to shoot out blasts of "lighting".

119's Edge
The Demons' Trident, for its longer range.

Spiker (Brutes)
The Brute Spiker is a Jiralhanae firearm firing large spikes about a foot in length. These spikes are superheated until they are red hot as they exit the barrel of the weapon, in order to cause increased damage. The Spiker is also equipped with two large bayonets, designed not for thrusting like a human bayonet, but for delivering lethal slashing attacks. The Spiker's main drawback is its poor accuracy and the poor ballistic performance of the spikes, resulting in significant bullet drop.

M1114 (Demons)
The M1114 was a .458 Winchester Magnum chambered version of the M14 Rifle that was developed during the Salvation War, after 5.56mm weapons such as the M4 carbine proved to have insufficient stopping power to reliably bring down a "demon". It will be assumed to have a 20-round magazine similar to the original M14.

119's Edge
The Demon's M1114 for its superior ballistic performance, meaning greater range, as well as its high stopping power.

Covenant Carbine (Brutes)
The Type 51 Carbine is a Covenant semi-automatic marksman rifle with a 2x scope. The weapon fires 8.7x60mm caseless rounds made from a toxic and radioactive substance. The rounds are coated with a substance to shield the user from the radiation and toxins, but the coating is destroyed on impact, causing poisoning or possible cancer if the projectile does not kill the target. The weapon has an 18-round magazine and muzzle velocity of 700 meters per second, and a range of 600 meters.

M1116 (Demons)
The M1116 is an upscaled version of the 19th century British Martini-Henry (left) rifle designed specifically for use by demons. The weapon fires a fiction .950 Nitro round, a round similar to an upscaled .700 Nitro elephant gun cartridge. The closest real-life cartridge is the .950 JDJ (right), a 24mm round made from an upscaled 20x102mm autocannon casing. The weapon impacts with a force of over 52,450 joules, compared to the 20,195 joules of a 800 grain .50 BMG round. While an 8-foot tall demon would be able to handle the force of the recoil, there is still the issue of the primary weakness of the Martini-Henry design- it is a single shot weapon with no magazine, intentionally designed that way so the demons never pose a real threat to humanity.

119's Edge
The sheer destructive power of the .950 round, likely able to take down a Brute with one well-placed shot is impressive, the weapon's rate of fire is less than impressive. The carbine, on the other hand, has a faster rate of fire, but lower stopping power, however, this is possible offset by the toxic and radioactive nature of the projectile, as well as the potential for fragmenation on impact, increasing the damage on impact.

Brute Shot (Brutes)
The Brute Shot is a Jiralhanae grenade launcher firing for a four-round belt. The weapon fires from a four-round belt, however, its rounds have relatively low stopping power, being ineffective against energy shields and even larger adversaries that can absorb the shrapnel and blast with less injury. The Brute Shot also has a large rear-mounted bayonet, designed for slashing, rather than thrusting attacks.

M240A2 (Demons)
The FN MAG is a Belgian 7.62 mm general-purpose machine gun, designed in the early 1950s at Fabrique Nationale (FN) by Ernest Vervier., and, in the form of the M240, remains the standard issue GPMG of the US Army. In the Salvation War universe, a variant chambered for .338 Lapua Magnum rounds was designed when 7.62mm rounds proved ineffective against demons. The weapon will be assumed to fire from a 100-round belt, a range of 1000 meters and a rate of fire of 850-1000 rpm like its 7.62mm counterpart.

119's Edge
The two weapons are too different to compare directly, however, in my opinion, the rapid fire of .338 Lapua rounds from the M240A2 will prove superior to the low blast radius grenades of the Brute Shot fired at a lower rate of fire.

Fist of Rukt (Tartarus)
The Fist of Rukt is a custom gravity hammer wielded by Tarturus passed down through generation of Jiralhanae Chieftains. The weapon is presumably named for some Covenant hero or deity, or possibly a previous owner. The weapon has a powerful artificial gravity generation, capable of striking with greater force than a normal gravity hammer. The weapon is also capable of firing an electromagnetic pulse and an energy pulse capable of knocking enemies backwards. Finally, the weapon seems to be equipped with a shield generator. '''NOTE: For the purposes of this match, conventional weapons will be able to pierce the shield with sustained fire. The need to disable it with a beam rifle will be assumed to be a game mechanic and not applicable in this fight. That said, the shield will still be very powerful, able to survive multiple rocket hits, for instance.'''

Custom Trident (Abigor)
Before he got his RARDEN rifle when he joined the humans, Abigor carried a bronze trident customized to maximize efficiency of its electrical discharge. For the purposes of this match, he will have this weapon with during the battle along with his rifle.

119's Edge
Tartarus' Fist of Rukt for its superior force of impact and rate and its shield generator.

Plasma Turret (Tartarus)
The Type-52 Directed Energy Support Weapon, otherwise known as the Plasma Cannon, is a manned automatic plasma turret used by the Covenant. It was rarely encountered prior to 2552 and is likely to be a universal replacement for the older Type-42 Directed Energy Support Weapon. The weapon fires bolts of superheated plasma, which cause severe third or fourth degree (flesh burned away entirely over an area) burn injuries and quickly depletes shields, however, it does not produce the deep penetration wounds projectile weapons. The other main weakness of plasma weaponry is that they only have a muzzle velocity of around 126 meters per second, much slower than a bullet. The Plasma turret has a rate of fire of around 600 rpm and comes with a 200-round battery.

RARDEN Rifle (Abigor)
After defecting to the side of the humans, Abigor arms himself with a custom-made rifle made from a British 30mm RARDEN cannon (pictured), which he is capable of wielding thanks to his massive size, with a height of around 15 feet. The cannon is normally used on military vehicles such as the Scimitar light tank and Warrior APC, and fires a 30mm high explosive-incendiary, armor-piercing secondary effect (an AP round with a red phosphorus filler for a secondary incendiary effect), or armor piercing discarding sabot rounds. Abigor's 30mm rifle has a three-round magazine.

119's Edge
Against a 15-foot tall target like Abigor, the plasma turret's bolts will have less of an impact- his body can resist 7.62mm rounds easily and is presumably resistant to heat, literally living in a volcanic hell. The RARDEN cannon, on the other hand, fires rounds designed to knock out light armor, which could vaporize an unshielded Jiralhanae in one shot, and even severely deplete Tartarus' shield. Edge: Abigor's RARDEN Rifle =X-Factors=

WHO IS DEADLIEST!?

=Nazi Germany= Nazi Germany and the Third Reich are common names for Germany during the period from 1933 to 1945, when its government was controlled by Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), commonly known as the Nazi Party. Under Hitler's rule, Germany was transformed into a fascist totalitarian state which controlled nearly all aspects of life. Nazi Germany ceased to exist after the Allied Forces defeated Germany in May 1945, ending World War II in Europe.

After Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany by the President of the Weimar Republic Paul von Hindenburg on 30 January 1933, the Nazi Party began to eliminate all political opposition and consolidate their power. Hindenburg died on 2 August 1934, and Hitler became dictator of Germany when the powers and offices of the Chancellery and Presidency were merged. A national referendum held 19 August 1934 confirmed Hitler as sole Führer (leader) of Germany. All power was centralised in Hitler's hands, and his word was above all laws. The government was not a coordinated, co-operating body, but rather a collection of factions struggling to amass power and gain Hitler's favour. In the midst of the Great Depression, the Nazis restored economic stability and ended mass unemployment using heavy military spending and a mixed economy. Extensive public works were undertaken, including the construction of Autobahns (high speed highways). The return to economic stability boosted the regime's popularity.

Racism, especially antisemitism, was a central feature of the regime. The Germanic peoples—also referred to as the Nordic race—were considered to be the purest representation of Aryanism, and therefore the master race. Jews and others deemed undesirable were persecuted or murdered, and opposition to Hitler's rule was ruthlessly suppressed. Members of the liberal, socialist, and communist opposition were killed, imprisoned, or forced into exile. The Christian churches were also oppressed, with many leaders imprisoned. Education focused on racial biology, population policy, and fitness for military service. Career and educational opportunities for women were curtailed. Recreation and tourism were organised via the Strength Through Joy program, and the 1936 Summer Olympics showcased the Third Reich on the international stage. Propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels made effective use of film, mass rallies, and Hitler's hypnotising oratory to control public opinion. The government controlled artistic expression, promoting specific art forms and discouraging or banning others.

Nazi Germany made increasingly aggressive territorial demands, threatening war if they were not met. Austria and Czechoslovakia were seized in 1938 and 1939. Hitler made a pact with Joseph Stalin and invaded Poland in September 1939, launching World War II in Europe. In alliance with Italy and smaller Axis powers, Germany conquered most of Europe by 1940 and threatened Great Britain. Reichskommissariats took brutal control of conquered areas, and a German administration was established in what was left of Poland. Jews and others deemed undesirable were imprisoned and murdered in Nazi concentration camps and extermination camps. The implementation of the regime's racial policies culminated in the mass murder of Jews and other minorities in the Holocaust. Following the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, the tide turned against the Third Reich, and major military defeats were suffered in 1943. Large-scale bombing of German cities, rail lines, and oil plants escalated in 1944. Germany was overrun in 1945 by the Soviets from the east and the other Allies from the west. Hitler's refusal to admit defeat led to massive destruction of German infrastructure and unnecessary loss of life in the closing months of the war. The victorious Allies initiated a policy of denazification and put the surviving Nazi leadership on trial for war crimes at the Nuremberg trials. =Order of Battle=

Wehrmacht Infantry x 2000
The Wehrmacht, formerly the Reichswehr, was the combined German armed forces under the Third Reich, including the Army (Heer), Navy (Kriegsmarine), and Air Force (Luftwaffe). The Wehrmacht executed the newly developed fast-moving tactic of Blitzkrieg, using armored and air forces to rapidly gain control of much of Europe. During the early stages of the Second World War, the German military enjoyed technological and logistical superiority, but after their Italian allies crumbled to the south and the disastrous invasion of Russia, the Wehrmacht found itself staging a fighting retreat. Slowly pushed back to the gates of Berlin, the Wehrmacht fought on until the end, its resources and manpower hopelessly exhausted. The Wehrmacht, while not as indoctrinated in Nazi ideology as the SS, still were exposed much propaganda during training, and encouraged to crush all opposition to the Nazi regime with greatest brutality.

Gewehr 43
The Gewehr 43 is a semi-automatic battle rifle used by Nazi Germany during World War II. The weapon was based on the design of the Soviet SVT-40 rifle, but chambered for the 7.92mm Mauser round used by the Germans at the time. The weapon had a ten-round magazine and an effective range of 500 meters in the hands of a skilled user. The weapon could also be fitted with a scope for sniping, increasing the effective range to about 800 meters.

MP-40
The MP 40 was a submachine gun developed by Nazi Germany and used by troops during World World II. It was often used by paratroopers and officers in the German military during World War II. The MP 40 was a open-bolt, blowback operated automatic gun. The weapon had an effective range of between 70 and 100 meters, firing a 9mm round from a 32-round magazine.

Kar 98K Scoped
The Karabiner98k was the standard serivce rifle of the German military from 1935-1945. It was a bolt-action rifle with an internal magazine. Bullets could be loaded with a five-round stripper clip or loaded singly into the magazine by hand. Various attachments such as grenade launchers, suppressors, and bayonets could be attached to the Karabiner 98k. It became at a disadvantage to Allied forces during World War II due to it's bolt-action slowing down the rate of fire.

High-quality Karabiner-98ks were fitted with a telescopic site to function as a sniper rifle. In skilled hands they could hit targets up to 1000m away.

Panzershreck
The Panzerschreck (lit. "armor fright", "tank fright", or "tank terror") was the popular name for the Raketenpanzerbüchse (abbreviated to RPzB), an 88 mm calibre reusable anti-tank rocket launcher developed by Nazi Germany based off the American Bazooka in World War II. Another popular nickname was Ofenrohr ("stove pipe"). The weapon fired a high-explosive anti tank (HEAT) round at a range of up to 150 meters.

=Armor=

Panzer III x 400
Panzer III was the common name of a medium tank that was developed in the 1930s by Germany and was used extensively in World War II. The official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen III Sd Kfz. 141 (abbreviated PzKpfw III) translating as "armoured fighting vehicle". It was intended to fight other armoured fighting vehicles and serve alongside the infantry-supporting Panzer IV; however, as the Germans faced the formidable T-34, stronger anti-tank guns were needed. Since the Panzer IV had a bigger turret ring, the role was reversed. For the purposes of this match, the Panzer III will be an Ausf H. variant armed with a 50mm main gun and two MG-34 7.92mm machine guns. The tank had between five and 70mm of armor, with the most heavily armored areas being the turret and hull front. The tank had a 296 horsepower Maybach V12 diesel engine with a top speed of 40 kph/25 mph.

Panzer IV x 200
The Panzerkampfwagen IV (Pz.Kpfw. IV), commonly known as the Panzer IV, was a German medium tank developed in the late 1930s and used extensively during the Second World War. Its ordnance inventory designation was Sd.Kfz. 161.

Designed as an infantry-support tank, the Panzer IV was not originally intended to engage enemy armor—that function was performed by the lighter Panzer III. However, with the flaws of pre-war doctrine becoming apparent and in the face of Soviet T-34 tanks, the Panzer IV soon assumed the tank-fighting role of its increasingly obsolete cousin. The most widely manufactured and deployed German tank of the Second World War, the Panzer IV was used as the base for many other fighting vehicles, including the Sturmgeschütz IV assault gun, Jagdpanzer IV tank destroyer, the Wirbelwind self-propelled anti-aircraft weapon, and the Brummbär self-propelled gun. The tank will, for the purposes of this match, be armed with a long-barreled 75mm Kwk 40 anti-tank gun, and between 10 and 88mm of armor. The tank had a 296 horsepower Maybach V12 diesel engine with a top speed of 42 kph/26mph.

Panther x 50
Panther is the common name of a medium tank deployed by Nazi Germany in World War II from mid-1943 to the end of the European war in 1945. It was intended as a counter to the Soviet T-34, and as a replacement for the Panzer III and Panzer IV. While never replacing the latter, it served alongside it and the heavier Tiger tanks until the end of the war. The Panther's excellent combination of firepower, mobility, and protection served as a benchmark for other nations' late war and post-war tank designs, and it is regarded as one of the best tanks of World War II. The tank carried a high velocity 75mm main gun, as well as two MG-34 machine guns. The vehicle was powered by a 690 horsepower engine, giving it a top speed of 55 kph (34 mph). The tank was protected by 15-120mm of armor.

Tiger x 50
Tiger I is the common name of a German heavy tank developed in 1942 and used in World War II. The final official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf.E, often shortened to Tiger. It was an answer to the unexpectedly impressive Soviet armour encountered in the initial months of the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union, particularly the T-34 and the KV-1. The Tiger I gave the Wehrmacht its first tank mounting the 88 mm gun in its first armoured fighting vehicle-dedicated version: the KwK 36. During the course of the war, the Tiger I saw combat on all German battlefronts. It was usually deployed in independent tank battalions, which proved to be formidable. In addition to 88mm main gun, the tank carried two MG-34 machine guns. The tank was powered by a 690 horsepower Maybach engine with a top speed of 45.4 km/h (28.2 mph). Tank had between 25 and 120mm of armor.

Jagdtiger x25
Jagdtiger ("Hunting Tiger") is the common name of a German heavy tank destroyer of World War II. The official German designation was Panzerjäger Tiger Ausf. B as it was based on a lengthened Tiger II chassis. The ordnance inventory designation was Sd. Kfz. 186. The Jagdtiger was the heaviest armored fighting vehicle used operationally during World War II and is the heaviest tank ever to achieve series production. The vehicle carried a 128 mm PaK 44 L/55 main gun, capable of out-ranging and defeating any fielded Allied tank. It saw service in small numbers from late 1944 to the end of the war on both the Western and Eastern Front. Tiger ace Otto Carius commanded a company of Jagdtigers. His post-war memoir provides a rare combat history of the Jagdtigers which had been under his command. Although 150 were ordered, only between 77 and 88 were produced. Due to an excessive weight the Jagdtiger was continuously plagued with mechanical problems. The vehicle carried a single machine gun in addition to the 128mm main gun, and was protected by 250mm of armor. The tank used the same 690 hp Maybach engine as the Tiger, and had a top speed of 34 km/h (21 mph).

=Autocratic East Europan Imperial Alliance= A conglomerate of nations united under the rule of the East Europan Emperor, commonly referred to as "The Empire."

The Industrial Revolution that occurred when ragnite was discovered as a useful energy source saw the nations of eastern Europa, pioneers in machine technology, rise to power. Already tightly bound by a network of marriages amongst their royalty, these nations now joined hands in a formal international alliance.

While not technically an autocracy, the emperor enjoys limitless authority within the alliance. The Empire retains customs and practices held over from medieval times, and its people are known to harbor conservative views including a strong hatred for the Darcsen race, who are often put into forced labor camps to provide labour and materials for the Empire.

The culture of the Imperial Alliance still has strong roots in medieval times. This influence can be seen in the armor that the soldiers wear, and in in the vows of fealty that each soldier makes to the king.

The Empire places a heavy emphasis on armor and large caliber weapons, with many of its tanks greatly out-massing their Federation and Gallian counterparts. The latest weapons developed by the Empire include a variety of superheavy tanks (Batomys-class) and even a terrestrial dreadnaught, Marmota.

The Empire declared war on the Federation after the scarcity of Ragnite elevated tensions, sparking the Second Europan War. The Empire used its military superiority to quickly put the Federation on the defensive. Emboldened by their progress and momentum, the Empire decided to invade the neutral Principality of Gallia in order to seize its rich Ragnite deposits. The invasion force was led personally by Prince Maximilian and his Drei Stern, but was eventually defeated through the efforts of the Gallian militia. After the Empire's invasion failed, the Federation launched a counterattack, succeeding in advancing deep into the Empire's northeastern territories. Nevertheless, the Empire still controlled a large swathe of Federation territory in the south and the two sides remain deadlocked.

After the Second Europan War, the Empire signed a treaty ending its war with Gallia. As part of the agreement, members of the Imperial nobility were sent to Gallia ostensibly to help further ties between the two nations. In reality, they were hostages against any new attempts by the Empire to invade. =Order of Battle=

ZM Kar-1
Crafted by the Empire's top arms maker, Zechmeister (ZM Corp), this rifle is one of the factors that enabled the Imperial armies to sweep across Europa. Substantially lighter than conventional rifles, the ZM Kar greatly improved unit mobility and won the thanks of those forced to carry them on their march. Its distinctive axe shape earned it the nickname "Francisca" among its users. The weapon will be assumed to have a range similar to that of the Gewehr 43, and to be a semi-automatic weapon with a ten-round magazine of 7.62mm rounds.

ZM MP4
This remodeled ZM MP boasts a modified barrel allowing for the use of specialty rounds without any loss in performance. Its construction remains 90% true to the original, meaning that the existing pool of mass-produced MPs could be converted into their B-series cousins by swapping out a few simple parts. Despite being introduced relatively late in the war, this line of firearms saw a considerable amount of use in the field. The ZM MP4 fires 9mm rounds from a magazine which, for the purposes of this match, will hold 30 rounds.

ZM SG-1
The ZM SG based on an infantry gun carried by many of the Empire's soldiers during EW1, particularly noted for its firing accuracy. The SG also featured a Rudolf Co. variable small arms scope. Lauded for its accuracy and uncommonly shock-resistant barrel, it first saw use with the Empire's mountain ranger units. Though the ZM SG's design allowed for a bayonet to be affixed under the muzzle, there are very few instances of it being used during the Second Europan War. The weapon appears to be a bolt-action weapon, and has a magazine similar in length to that of the Gewehr 43, suggesting a ten-round capacity.

VB PL-2 Anti-Tank Lance
The VB PL-2 is a 105mm weapon weapon similar to the real-world Panzerfaust, although unlike the Panzerfaust, it seems to be reloadable. The weapon resembles a medieval lance, with the tip firing off at the target, and is designed to be fired from the hip. It will be assumed to have similar range to real-life WWII-era rocket launchers.

===

Imperial Light Tank x 400
The Imperial Light Tank is a 24 ton vehicle, meaning it likely has light armor. The Imperial tank carries a 45mm main gun, giving firepower equivalent to the German Panzer III, as well as a short-barreled 85mm mortar for light artillery work and a 7.62mm machine gun. The tank has a 330 horsepower engine and a top speed of 45 kilometers per hour.

Imperial Medium Tank x 200
The Imperial Medium Tank is essentially to a heavier version the light variant, weighing in at 38 tons, with heavier armor and a 76mm main gun. The tank also carries an 85mm mortar and two 9mm machine guns, one mounted in the bow of the tank and one in a smaller rear turret. While the rear machine gun makes the tank more dangerous to attack from behind, it also means the main turret cannot rotate a full 360 degrees, only about 180, a potentially fatal flaw in a tank battle. The tank had a top speed of 38 kph and a 550 horsepower engine.

Imperial Heavy Tank x 100
The Imperial Heavy Tank is the heaviest armored vehicle of the Empire, weighing 45 tons armed with long-barreled 76mm main gun, as well as a massive 122mm mortar. The tank also carries two machine guns. Like the medium, the turret's traverse is limited by the presence of a loading crane on the back of the tank for the mortar. This would make it an easy target for tanks attacking from the rear. The tank has a 600 hp engine and a top speed of 32 kph.

Lupus Regnum x 25
The Lupus Regnum is the heaviest "conventional" tank deployed by the East Europan Empire (not counting ultra heavy tanks and land dreadnaughts). The tank is heavily armored, with a well-sloped glacis plate. The tank is armed with a powerful 122mm main gun and a 9mm machine gun as a secondary weapon. While well armored, the Lupus Regnum is vulnerable to guns smaller than its own, namely an 85mm (and thus the German 88 will be a viable weapon). Unlike other Europan tanks, its turret does not appear to have obstructions to traversing 360 degrees.

Tank Destroyer x 50
The 41 ton Imperial tank destroyer is a casemate vehicle with a non-traversing 85mm gun originally designed for use against airships (heavier than air aircraft do not exist in the VC universe as they are considered a "Darcsen idea", a concept similar to how the Nazis initially rejected the atomic bomb as "Jewish science"). However, after the 85mm proved effective against tanks as well, it was used in a tank destroyer. The vehicle also carries a forward machine gun, and has a top speed of 35 kph thanks to its 600hp engine.

=119's Edges= =Infantry=

Pistols
The Imperial pistol is practically identical to the Luger. This match up is essentially Even.

X-Factors
=Armor=

Light Armor
The Imperial light tank carries a second gun and is a bit faster, but the German Panzer III carries a slightly larger main gun, and is probably slightly better armored. The second gun, however, is likely to be of limited use, as seen with the similarly-designed American M3 Lee/Grant tank, which had a casemate heavy gun, which meant the entire vehicle had to be turned to aim the main gun. Edge: Even

Medium Armor
In this match up, the superiority of German engineering reigns supreme, the 75mm main gun of the Panzer IV can rotate a full 360 degrees, unlike the gun of the Imperial Medium, which is obstructed by the secondary rear machine gun turret. In my opinion, this, along with the superior speed of the Panzer IV will give it the advantage in spite of the larger number of both main guns and machine guns on the Imperial.

Heavy Armor
The Germans already have the advantage of two heavies over one. In terms of firepower, the Imperial has more firepower if attacked from the front being able to bring both the 75mm turret gun and the 122mm casemate to bear, however, because of the loading crane on the rear, the tank has NO firepower rearward, whereas the turrets on both the Panther and Tiger can turn a full 360 degrees. In terms of turret guns (not counting the Imperial's casemate), the Panther equals the Imperial with its 75mm, and the Tiger's 88 trumps the Imperial's 75. The Imperial is faster than the Tiger, but it is slighly slower than the Panther. In terms of this fight, however, the most important factor in this tank battle, however, in my opinion, is the lack of a full 360 degree turret on the Imperial, dooming it to last place behind the Panther and Tiger.

Tank Destroyer
In terms of basic tank-busters, both sides carry a comparable high-velocity gun, making them about even, However, in spite of its massive 122mm main gun, the Jagdtiger was plagued with mechanical problems, a definite disadvantage. Final score: Jagdtiger<Elefant=Imperial. Edge Imperials due to numbers.

NOTE: To Make this fair, the Nazis will have no air support and Imperials will not have any Valkyria or related technology.

WHO IS DEADLIEST?! =Combatants=

Godlike Powers
Cthulhu is a vastly powerful entity which, while not possessing true omnipotence, still has godlike power so vast that it cannot be truly comprehended by humans. This power could no doubt be used to cause devastating damage to any foe.

Insanity
The mere appearance of Cthulhu is able to cause insanity in the beholder. While the exact level of impact varies from individual, with some being able to resist his power momentarily (as seen in the Norwegian captain who wounded Cthulhu and delayed his return by ramming him with his ship), any mere human will be overwhelmed eventually. Nagato, however, is no mere mortal...

Massive Size
Cthulhu is the described as being mountainous in size, which would no doubt be able crush many smaller and weaker adversaries with simple brute force.

Flight
Cthulhu posesses massive dragon-like wings, which will, for the purposes of this match, allow him to fly.

Telepathy
Cthulhu is capable of telepathically communicating with humans, his communications typically manifesting in insanity-causing dreams. This sometimes results in the targets of these dreams establishing cults of Cthulhu.

Alien Biology
Cthulhu's alien biology is unlike anything for earth. While he can be wounded and "killed", he cannot truly die in human terms. When killed, Cthulhu will go dormant for countless millenia, until reawakened, either unwittingly or intentionally by humans. During these periods of "death", Cthulhu is still capable of telepathically communicating through dreams, with the goal of causing a human to revive him. Only a being of power rivaling that of Cthulhu himself, or greater can truly destroy him permanently.... However, for the purposes of this match, Yuki Nagato may be just such a being...

Strident-class heavy frigate
The Strident-class heavy frigate is a frigate class employed in the Post-War UNSC Navy; utilized primarily for escort of larger capital ships and for rapid offensive engagement. UNSC Infinity carries ten vessels of this class within internal docking bays. The vessel was the first UNSC frigate design to implement energy shields, reverse engineered from Covenent technology. The ship also carries a Mark IV Magnetic Accelerator Cannon (MAC), Three Hyperion nuclear missiles, a large compliment of Archer Missiles and a number of point defense guns.

At least one of these vessels, UNSC Eminent Domain, assisted during the Battle of Draetheus V. It destroyed hundreds of Spirits and outmaneuvered the Covenant vessels in an attempt to deploy a unit of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers before it was heavily damaged and crashed into the surface of X50.

During the Second Battle of Requiem, UNSC Infinity deployed her compliment of Strident-class frigates shortly after arriving at the shield world; at least two would survive the initial phase of combat.

- Tuco Salamanca Tuco Salamanca is a drug kingpin operating for the Juarez Cartel in Albuquerque and part of a lineage of criminals in his family. His uncle was a drug runner before his disability and his cousins are hitmen for the cartel. Tuco is eventually eventuallly approached by Jesse Pinkman, who offers him some methamphetamine. Tuco loves the product but isn't satisfied about the price, but still offers Pinkman a bag of money. He then proceeds to pummel him to the ground with the bag and sends him to the hospital. Pinkman's associate, only known as Heisenberg confronts Tuco and gives him a bag of "meth". Heisenberg then throws the supposed meth and reveals that is is fuliminated mercury. Shocked but forced to cooperate, Tuco gives him his money and proceeds to make a deal, Heisenberg and Pinkman give Tuco meth and they get their money. But one deal reveals Tuco's crazier side, as he pummels one of his men to the ground after a brief misunderstanding. His safehouse is raided by the DEA but wasn't caught. Tuco takes Heisenberg and Pinkman to a safehouse in the desert where his uncle, Hector lives. Tuco plans to take them south of the border to cook meth and with his connections, would be untouchable. While in the safehouse, Tuco finds that Heisenberg's real name is Walter Hartwell White. Tuco then finds that one of his men, Gonzo, isn't answering his phone calls. Unbeknownst to him, Walter knows that Gonzo is dead after his DEA agent brother in law Hank Schrader sent him pictures of his corpse after finding it in a junkyard. The group sit down for a meal, but Walter puts a bit of ricin into Salamanca's meal. But with the intervention of Hector, Tuco's life is saved but in a rage, takes the two out and plans to execute them with his M4A1. In a skirmish with Jesse though, he is shot in the abdomen with his Jericho 941 pistol. He survives the gunshot, but Schrader arrives on the scene, looking for his missing brother. Recognizing Tuco's face, Schrader enters a firefight with Salamanca after he pulls out his gun and shoots him in the head with his Glock 22. Unknowingly, Walter was there and fleeing the crime scene. Later, Tuco's cousins would try to retaliate for their cousin's death by attempting to take Walter's life.

Jericho 941
The Jericho 941, also known as the Baby Eagle, is a semi-automatic pistol made by Israeli Weapon Industries. While it is marketed in the US as the "Baby Eagle", except for minor cosmetic similarities, the Jericho has nothing in common with the Desert Eagle. Tuco's Jericho will be assumed to be chambered for 9mm ammunition, with a fifteen-round box magazine.

M4 Carbine with scope and taped magazines
The M4 Carbine is a series of firearms based upon the design of the M16 rifle. It was designed to be a light version of the M16A2 with selective fire options. Created in the United States, the M4 was in service since 1997. The weapon is gas-operated, cooled by air, and has a telescoping stock. The carbine was created, like most carbines, to function like a rifle but have a lighter weight and greater portability. The M4 is slightly less accurate and has less stopping power. The carbine will later shift into the standard firearm for the American armed forces. 35 nations have the M4 as part of their arsenal and is widely used by both their armies and special forces. The M4 has an effective range of 500 meters and a rate of fire of 750-900 rounds per minute. Tuco's M4 has an ACOG scope and a taped dual 30-round magazine meaning every other magazine change will be faster, as he will simply need to flip to the second magazine.

=Lio Shirazumi= "A homicidal maniac... I didn't have this name, but society gave me this name. Its spot on!"

- Lio Shirazumi

Lio Shirazumi is the antagonist in the two Kara No Kyoukai movies, A Study in Murder Parts I and II. Shirazumi was a Japanese highschool student a couple years older than Shiki Ryougi and Mikiya Kokutou as of April 1995, and fell in love Shiki. Lio stalking Shiki everywhere she went and secretly recording on video. Lio finally worked up the courage to ask Shiki out, but she rejected him, and to add insult to injury, Shiki tells him that "she does not like weak people". Determined to prove he is not weak, Lio provokes a local delinquent and bully into attacking him by repeatedly beating him at an arcade game. Lio then lures the delinquent into a dark alley and bludgeons him to death. Lio, realizing he has to destroy the evidence, sees only one solution: cannibalism.

As Lio starts to consume the body, he is met by Araya Souren, a 300-year old immortal sorceror who tells him that he is insane, and then offers to "unlock the origin of his soul". Araya's actions unleash Lio's origin of "consumption", causing a compulsion to commit murder and cannibalism, as well granting him super human speed, strength and pain tolerance, as well as partial regeneration (he is able to regenerate lost body parts, but not immediately, suggesting that if he were, for instance, decapitated or shot in the head, he would still die), as well as developing a set of retractable claws.

Araya also gave him the knowledge that Shiki also has repressed sociopathic tendencies and dissociative identity disorder, as Araya intended to provoke Shiki in order to harness her powers for himself. Lio attempts to provoke Shiki into committing murder by committing a series of brutal murders and making it appear that Shiki committed the murders as her sociopathic male second personality (Also named Shiki, but with an alternate masculine spelling in Japanese). Shortly afterwards, Shiki is hit by a truck and ends up in a coma for two years, and Lio ceases his crimes.

Shiki awakens from her coma in 1998, but it is not until 1999 that Lio discovers that she is still alive, and the series of murders continue. Shiki and Mikiya Kokutou investigate the murders, as well as their connection to a new drug cocktail known as "Bloodchip", as well as new marijuana formulation. Mikiya discovers the Lio has been manufacturing drugs laced with a his own magically modified blood, which can cause insanity, though they are often fatal.

Lio confronts Shiki in a dark alley, dressed in an outfit similar to her own, and tells her that that Mikiya is holding her back for her true nature. The two fight, with Lio losing his arm. Lio nonetheless escapes.

Shiki tracks Lio to his lair, a warehouse where he grows his modified marijuana. Shiki fights Lio, but Lio knocks her unconcious and handcuffs her with a pipe, before licking her all over her body, suggesting that he intends to rape, murder, and consume her. Meanwhile, Mikiya traces the source of the drugs to the warehouse where he is ambushed and severely injured by Lio, who believes that he has killed him. Lio then returns to Shiki, but finds she had escaped her binds. Lio quickly confronts attacks Shiki with a newly-grown set of claws and attacks each of her limbs while she is concious, but still incapacitated by the muscle relaxant drug. Before he kills her, Lio tells Shiki that he killed Mikiya. Infuriated at the loss of her love, Shiki regains her strength and attacks with her knife, severing all four of Lio's limbs, before stabbing him the back, killing him. Shiki then falls unconcious, only to be woken up by a wounded, but not dead Mikiya, who has since regained conciousness.

Hunting Knife
Lio Shirazumi's primary weapon of choice is a large hunting knife about a foot long. The weapon is similar in appearance to military combat knife, with a serrated blade edge on one side and a clip point.

Metal Pipe
At one point, Lio also uses a metal pipe, about 3 feet long for the purposes of this match, as a blunt instrument. For the purposes of this match, he will have one available.

Bloodchip Drug
Lio created the "Bloodchip" drug to turn sufficiently violent individuals with a violent "origin" similar to his own into a human monster similar to himself. However, on most people, it is either simply fatal or causes insanity. That said, we cannot know how it will effect Tuco- we cannot really know his "origin" as such a thing does not exist in the Breaking Bad (or any realistic) universe, but he is certainly violent, so this is a bit of a roll of the dice for Lio: it might kill him, might cause crippling insanity... but it also might turn Tuco into something similar to Lio himself...

Partial Regeneration
Lio Shirazumi's transformations have given him to ability to regenerate lost body parts. When Shiki cuts off one of his arms in their first fight, he regrows it within a day. However, this regeneration seems to take several hours, so it will be assumed that if he sustains damage that could kill him instantly or almost instantly, such as a bullet to the head or heart will kill him. While he won't be able to regenerate in this fight, Lio is able to keep fighting with wounds that would cripple any normal man (such as the loss of an arm).

Claws
When Shirazumi nears the end of his transformation, in his final battle with Shiki Ryougi, he develops a set of retractable claws on his hands, similar to those of a lion or tigers. Along with his superhuman speed and strength, these claws allow Lio to kill with all lethality of a predatory animal. =Jack Welker's Gang (Breaking Bad) vs Ivan's Gang (FFDP: HOTRS music video)= =Combatants=

WHO IS DEADLIEST!?

=Hei=

"A night sky full of cries, hearts filled with lies. The contract, is it worth the price? A soul pledged to the darkness. Now I've lost it, I know I can kill. The truth exists beyond the gate."

- Darker than Black opening

Hei (黒（ヘイ), Hei), also known as the Black Reaper (黒の死神, Kuro no Shinigami) or BK-201 (or "Chinese Electric Batman" by fans), is a contractor, or human who gained superhuman powers from a mysterious phenomen known as "Hell's Gate", in Hei's case, the ability to manipulate the molecular structure of objects and generate electricity. He is the main protagonist of the anime Darker than Black.

Before he became a Contractor, Hei was a caring brother who looked after his little sister Bai. Despite his age Hei seemed to be the guardian of Bai. During a meteor shower his sister became a Contractor, with the ability to control and change matter on a molecular level, causing her to become the original BK-201. Soon after, Bai was recruited into a secretive organization known as the Syndicate. Although Hei hated killing, he did so anyway so as to be with his sister, and not view her as just a senseless killer. He became so good at fighting, that even before he obtained his Contractor power, he became known as "The Black Reaper".

During the "Heaven's War", Bai went missing with the rest of Hei's team. Hei then came into possession of Bai's power and took over as the new "BK-201". He continued to serve the Syndicate in hopes of finding out what happened in South America's Heaven's Gate, and more importantly what happened to his sister. Hei also has a past history with the leader of the Evening Primrose and former Syndicate co-worker, Amber.

Hei is a young man, with black hair and dark blue eyes. When off duty, Hei can be seen in the casual attire of a Chinese transfer student. When operating as a Contractor, however, Hei dons a black, bullet-proof trench coat and a white mask.

Later, after the events that transpire at Hell's Gate, Hei allows his hair to grow out to shoulder length; though he often keeps it tied in a ponytail. He also now wears a purple and black jacket and a snow cap on his head. Hei also appears to have neglected shaving.

Shortly after this, however, Hei cuts his hair back to normal length, shaves, and returns to his "Black Reaper" attire.

Hei is a skiled in unarmed combat and knife fighting, and is almost superhumanly agile. The most powerful ability he possesses, however, is the ability to generate and discharge electricity through conductive media (i.e. he cannot discharge it through air or concrete) at sufficiently high amounts to kill grown men or short out a building's electrical systems. To make up for his inability to discharge through the air, Hei uses a rope dart made made from a metal wire to attack from a distance by piercing his enemies and then electrocuting them. The wire also has a carabiner attached that allows Hei to use it as a grappling hook.

The power is more than simple electric shocks, as he can alter matter on the quantum level. He has shown the ability to transform integral particles on the quantum level. He is capable of special particle luminance, meaning he is able to change molecules similar to how humans are changed into contractors. This ability is also one of the most, if not the most, powerful and coveted powers known as it is the only one capable of altering gate particles at will. This ability is not actually his as he is really only human, but it was granted to him when his sister fused with him.

(Modified from Darker Than Black Wiki)

Daggers
Hei carries a pair of large daggers, about 20 inches length (based on a cosplay model), with about half of that being the blade itself. The weapons have a double-edged blade, split in the middle, presumably to save weight. Hei is capable of of using the knives with extreme skill in close combat, using either dual wielding the blades or using only one of them.

Rope Dart
In addition to using them as regular knives, Hei can use his daggers as a rope dart by attaching them to a metal wire. The wire is at least 20 feet long, possibly longer, and and is strong enough to hold Hei's weight, as he frequently uses it as a grappling hook to swing from steel girders etc. The wire can also be used as garrote and, most lethally, Hei used it in combination with his electricity generating powers to electrocute foes from a distance.

Electricity Generation
Hei possesses the ability to generate and discharge electricity through conductive media (i.e. he cannot discharge it through air or concrete, however, it will conduct through metal and water. He can also electrocute a target through direct contact.) at sufficiently high amounts to kill grown men or short out a building's electrical systems. To make up for his inability to discharge through the air, Hei uses a rope dart made made from a metal wire to attack from a distance by piercing or entangling his enemies and then electrocuting them.

Bulletproof Coat
Hei's Black Trenchcoat is show a number of times in the anime to be bulletproof, capable of stopping modern handgun bullets.

=Misaka Mikoto= "It's game over for you now!"

- Misaka Mikoto

Misaka Mikoto (御坂 美琴 Misaka Mikoto?) (born May 2) is a main heroine in Toaru Majutsu no Index and the main protagonist of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. Introduced in the first volume of the light novels, her role in the story was later expanded in the third volume as well as the release of the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun manga, making her the main heroine of the science side and the second main heroine of the series.

She is the third ranked Level 5 esper in Academy City, and is nicknamed the Railgun due to her signature move. Kamijou Touma coined the nickname Biri-Biri (ビリビリ?) (a Japanese onomatopoeia imitating the sound of electricity) for her and whenever the two meet he usually calls her that, even after his amnesia.

(From To Aru series wiki)

Electrical Discharge
Mikoto is capable of immense electrical discharges, said to be up to 1 billion volts. This level of electricity manipulation allows her to shoot a "spear of lightning" enemies, or even summon down lightning.

"Railgun"
Mikoto can fire magnetic objects at three times the speed of sound by forming parallel currents on both sides of her arm with her electricity. Her railgun has a muzzle velocity of 1030 m/s (2307.2 mph), and can be fired at a rate of 8 shots per minute. She has hinted she can fire multiple coins at once creating a Rail-Shotgun, however this has never been seen. She primarily uses arcade coins as her projectiles for portability, limiting her normal range to 50 meters. (From To aru series wiki)

Electromagnetism/Iron Particle Sword
Mikoto can use electromagnetism to attract and repel metallic materials and use it to her advantage. Examples include creating a make-shift shield out of scrap metal, walking on walls and ceilings, as well as attracting iron particles in the ground around her. Using her magnetic powers, Mikoto can form a "whip sword" by gathering iron sand, manipulating it into a sword that she can lengthen into a whip at will. By making the sand particles of the blade vibrate, she can dramatically increase the weapon's cutting power into something resembling that of a chainsaw.

Flight
Using formulas similar to those she use for her Iron Sand sword, Mikoto can fly if she is surrounded by a large amount of atomised water vapor. She manipulated the water vapor forming it into wings using the static electricity from interactions between particles. By using her electric power to induce electrolysis on a large body of water such as the ocean, she can obtain enough hydrogen and oxygen to use as fuel

Electromagnetic "Radar"
Mikoto can sense and release electromagnetic waves around her to enable her to see the image of the room three-dimensionally without the use of her sight. =Kong Taoluo=

The Eastern Private Defense Academy is a Japanese Academy that takes in students at elementary and high school ages to train for the Japanese Self Defense Force. Located on the JSDF Fuji Training Grounds, the students train towards becoming part of the JSDF come graduation from the Academy. In this alternate reality/dimension, Japan allowed people to enter training for the JSDF as early as elementary school.

Touko Natori is the daughter of a JSDF officer. As such, she is known throughout the academy for her excellent grades, physical fitness, leadership skills, and general reliability. These attributes made Touko a model student who was elected as the class president. After the attack by Trident, Touko took up the role as the leader of the group of students fighting against the mercenaries.

Weapons

Combat Dagger: Touko Natori carries a combat dagger that (at least I think based on the Google Translated novel) she took of the body of George Yoshida, a Trident International Security mercenary. The knife has a double-edged blade similar to a Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife, but a wider grip. The weapon will be assumed to be similar in use, and will be assumed to be balanced for throwing.

Heckler and Koch USP: The Heckler & Koch USP is a semi-automatic pistol made by the famous Heckler & Koch. The weapon was designed primarily for US law enforcement agencies and for the civilian market. The pistol is short recoil operated and fires the 9x19 Parabellum, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, and the .45 ACP. There are 18 variants of the pistol the most commonly used being the USP Compact Tactical. 14 countries currently have the pistol in their arsenal and is being used by police forces and armed forces. For the purposes of this match, the USP will be a 9mm with a 15-round magazine

Yohji Takatsu life was turned upside-down at early age, when his brother was killed in an accident. Since then, he developed a dark, cynical outlook, being emotionally distant towards others, even his own family. Yohji's desire to distance himself from his family, which he associated with his tragic past, led him to enroll in Eastern Private Defense Academy. Since enrolling, he remains distant and withdrawn, his only real social contact being through the internet. The one exception to this is Ann Matsura, a friend of Yohji's since childhood, in spite of his occasional comments about her being "annoying and incomprehensible". Whether or not Yohji is romantically attracted to Ann is unknown. In spite of his social issues, Yohji performed well, fighting alongside Ann in the battle against the Trident Mercenaries.

M203 Grenade Launcher: The M203 Grenade Launcher is a 40mm underbarrel grenade launcher used by the US military and other military forces as an attachment to the M16 Rifle and M4 Carbine. The weapon can be attached to other weapons with the proper adapter. The M203 was designed in the 1960s as a replacement for the M79 Grenade Launcher. The M203's main advantage over the M79 is that it is mounted under the M16, allowing the user to carry both the M203 and the M16, whereas as a grenadier armed with an M79 could carry only a pistol and a combat knife. While the M203 has supplanted the M79 in some roles, the M79 is still used in some role as the M79 has a longer range. The M320 will eventually replace the older M203. The weapon has a range of up to 400 meters, but an effective range of only 150 meters.

"Everyone at this school approves of me and they need me. It's comfortable here."

- Nanami Karino

"NO! Mom... Dad.... I don't want to die! I don't want to die!""

- Nanami Karino suffering from shell shock

Nanami Karino and her sister both aspired to reach celebrity status from an early age, being blessed with good looks and a talent at dancing. However, it was her sister, not Nanami who achieved success, becoming a child model. Nanami was initially happy for her sister, but over time, she grew to resent that fact that her family paid large amounts of attention to her sister, while ignoring her. This led Nanami to enroll in Eastern Private Defense Academy in order to distance herself from her family. At the academy, Nanami became popular because of her good looks and cheerful, upbeat personality. When the Trident Mercenaries attacked, Nanami joined the others in their battle to defend the academy. However, Nanami was quickly overwhelmed by fear and stress and traumatized by the incident, at one point kneeling on the floor cowering and tightly clutching her rifle with tears in her eyes.

Combat Dagger:

Combat Dagger: Touko Natori carries a combat dagger that (at least I think based on the Google Translated novel) she took of the body of George Yoshida, a Trident International Security mercenary. The knife has a double-edged blade similar to a Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife, but a wider grip. The weapon will be assumed to be similar in use, and will be assumed to be balanced for throwing. For the purposes of this match, all the other characters (except for Kazumi as she has the jian) will carry the weapon as well.

Heckler and Koch USP: The Heckler & Koch USP is a semi-automatic pistol made by the famous Heckler & Koch. The weapon was designed primarily for US law enforcement agencies and for the civilian market. The pistol is short recoil operated and fires the 9x19 Parabellum, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, and the .45 ACP. There are 18 variants of the pistol the most commonly used being the USP Compact Tactical. 14 countries currently have the pistol in their arsenal and is being used by police forces and armed forces. For the purposes of this match, the USP will be a 9mm with a 15-round magazine

Steyr TMP: The Steyr TMP (Taktische Maschinenpistole/Tactical Machine Pistol) is a select-fire 9x19mm Parabellum caliber machine pistol manufactured by Steyr Mannlicher of Austria. The weapon has a 30 round magazine and a rate of fire of 850-900 rounds per minute and a range of up to 100 meters.

Explanations Nanami Karino is, without a doubt, the weakest link in the team. About the only thing she has going for her is her agility and ability to know the exact position of her body in space, given her talent at dancing since childhood. She also is a decent shot, has some knowledge of military tactics, and is in  decent physical condition given her military education. Apart from that, Nanami proved herself easily "shell shocked" by combat situations and mentally fragile. All in all, when Nanami joined EPDA, she chose the wrong career path!


 * -|Hikari Senami=

"Don't wimp out now, Natori!"

- Hikari, urging Touko to shoot a Trident International Security mercenary

Hikari Senami is the daughter of socially well-connected parents, always living in the shadow of her older brothers, both of who attended prestigious universities. This lead to Hikari developing something of an inferiority complex. Hikari enrolled in Eastern Private Defense Academy in an attempt to "change herself". While at the academy, Hikari idolized Touko Natori for her intelligence and leadership abilities, hoping to be like her someday.

Explanations Hikari Senami has decent weaponry, and given her small frame, she is rather agile, but it also limits he close combat abilities. Hikari also wears glasses, meaning marksmanship may be slightly less than others, or at the very least, it will suffer severely if they are lost or destroyed. Hikari, however, is also very calm, proving capable of remaining calm even when fired upon.


 * -|Satoshi Yoshino=



Satoshi's father was a soldier in the JSDF, and Satoshi enrolled in Eastern Private Defense Academy wishing to follow in his father's footsteps. Satoshi has a carefree, cheerful outlook, and is generally well-liked, with many friends. He is also in many ways a typical teenager, being an avid fan of anime.

Howa Type 89: The Howa Type 89 is a Japanese assault rifle designed in 1989 for the Japanese Self-Defense Force to replace the Howa Type 64. The weapon is based off the AR-18 assault rifle, which was produced in Japan for a time until laws prohibiting the export of military hardware from Japan were passed. As such, the Howa Type 89 has never been exported. The weapon fires 5.56mm ammunition from a 30-round magazine (for the purposes of this match), with a range of up to 500m and a rate of fire of 700 rounds/minute.

Explanations:

Satoshi is, in many senses of the word, average. He is competent with a firearm and was able to remain calm enough under fire to put up an effective fight. Apart from that, the only thing that stands out in terms of X-Factors is his slightly immature nature, which causes his leadership score to fall.


 * -|Kazumi Tachibana=

Kazumi Tachibana was a fan character created as part of a contest. Unfortunately, the web page which featured her bio and picture has been taken down. Kazumi is a skilled swordswoman, though studying wushu and mastering the Chinese jian rather than kenjutsu, as one might expect given her Japanese ancestry.

Weapons

Jian: The Jian is a Chinese straight sword dating back to about the 7th century BC. The jian has a straight roughly 70 cm blade with a short, wing-shaped guard. These blades were designed to be used as a "general purpose" weapon, capable of both cutting and thrusting. Some jian also had a tassel on the hilt to serve as a lanyard or for distracting the enemy with its rapid movements. The Jian is often used for rapid attacks, with advanced techniques including spinning to sword in the hand to distract the opponent, before going in for a lethal thrust. For the purposes of this match, Kazumi will be assumed to be an accomplished swordswoman.

Heckler and Koch USP: The Heckler & Koch USP is a semi-automatic pistol made by the famous Heckler & Koch. The weapon was designed primarily for US law enforcement agencies and for the civilian market. The pistol is short recoil operated and fires the 9x19 Parabellum, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, and the .45 ACP.

Explanations: Kazumi Tachibana is a fanmade character who was featured in a contest, so she is not in the canon. This means that she did not fight alongside the rest of EPDA against Trident International Security, or in other words zero combat experience, this will be her first fight. On the other hand, her jian and wushu training mean she will be deadly in close combat, striking with a deadly grace that a machete-toting pirate can't hope to match. Add that to the standard marksmanship and tactical training from EPDA, and Kazumi still has the potential to be a solid teammate.

Emplaced Claymore Mines
The M18 Claymore mine is a remotely-detonated anti-personnel mine used by the US military. The mine consists of 700 steel ball-bearings behind a C-4 charge. When detonated, the mine fires the ball bearings out in a forward-directed fan pattern 6.5 feet tall, 50 meters wide, with an effective range of 50 meters, though the bearings can travel as far as 250 meters. The weapon was designed in 1960 as a counter to human wave attacks such as those used by the Japanese in World War II and the Chinese and North Koreans in the Korean War, and went on to see use in the Vietnam War and subsequent conflicts.

Explanations: Vaas is a skilled combatant honed by years of constant fighting against his former tribe, the Rakyat, as well as (presumably) rival gangs. Vaas is particular dangerous in close combat, and seems to favor killing his enemies up close and personal with a machete, that or taking them alive and subjecting them to prolonged torture. Vaas's weak points include his less modern weaponry than the modern high-end firearms of EPDA, as well as his low mental health, which makes him more courageous and brutal, but also makes him less likely to take into account self-preservation.


 * -|10x Berserker=

"Slice and Dice BABY!"

- Pirate Berserker

Some of Vaas' pirates do not carry firearms, possibly because they are simply unable to afford one, or perhap, given their behavior, they are sociopathic to the point that they prefer killing with a blade. Pirate berserkers, also known as chargers or beheaders, charge at their foes armed with machetes, with no thought for their own safety, and do not wear any body armor. This means that, while they are dangerous up close, they are a relatively target for any competent marksman from a distance.

Machete: A Machete is a large, heavy-bladed knife about 18 inches in length used in many tropical areas, most notably Latin America and Africa. The machete is used as a tool for cutting brush and harvesting sugar cane, as well as opening coconuts and other tough fruits and nuts. The machete is also commonly used as a weapon, particularly amongst militias and rebels in Africa and Latin America, and is often issued to military units operating in tropical areas. Similar weapons include the Filipino bolo, Nepalese kukri, and Japanese nata.

Explanations: Pirate berserkers are deadly at close range, not to mention completely insane, with no concept of self-preservation, given their willing this to charge straight into machine gun fire with only a machete. Note that they score a low calm under fire for a different reason Nanami Karino of EPDA- instead of panicking, the berserkers suicidally charge into fire. Overall, they're essentially cannon fodder. The low combat experience is because they don't tend to live long.


 * -|10x Shotgunner=

"*maniacal laughter*"

- Pirate Shotgunner

Pirate shotgunners are a second class of pirate sometimes known as "berserkers". Like the machete-wielding "charger", berserkers will charge at the player, though they are marginally more dangerous as they are armed with shotguns. Like the charger, however, they lack any body armor, and are most vulnerable to long range weapons.

Baikal MP-133 The Baikal MP-133 is a Russian 12-guage pump-action shotgun similar to the Remington 870. The weapon is intended primarily as a civilian weapon for uses including hunting, home defense, security. The weapon will, for the purposes of this have a capacity of six rounds plus one in the chamber (as per the seven rounds total in the game).

Combat Knife The KA-BAR is a combat knife that is used by Armed Forces World-wide. It got it's name when a trapper sent a letter to the company that made it about how, after his gun misfired, used it to kill an attacking bear. But the letter was so hard to make out that all that could made out was "K a Bar"-to kill a bear. It was the most popular combat knife in Vietnam, and continues to be used to this very date. It is great for stabbing, slashing, searching for mines, cutting rope, and other useful things like that.

 * -|10 Riflemen=

- Pirate Rifleman

Pirate riflemen are the most common class of pirate encountered on the North Island. Pirate riflemen are armed with AK-103 assault rifles, and appear to have at least some combat experience, if not training. For instance, they will take cover when under heavy fire, however, they are still prone to hip-firing their weapons, resulting in poor accuracy, and rushing into combat at close ranges. Like most pirates, they do not wear body armor.

AK-103 The AK-103 assault rifle is a derivative of the AK-74M chambered for the 7.62×39mm M43 round, similar to the older AKM. The AK-103 can be fitted with a variety of sights, including night vision and telescopic sights, plus a knife-bayonet or a grenade launcher. The version of the weapon used by the pirates has an unusual wood furniture instead of the standard black plastic grips, making it look similar to the original AK-47. The weapon has a 30-round magazine and a range of 500 meters.

Combat Knife: The KA-BAR is a combat knife that is used by Armed Forces World-wide. It got it's name when a trapper sent a letter to the company that made it about how, after his gun misfired, used it to kill an attacking bear. But the letter was so hard to make out that all that could made out was "K a Bar"-to kill a bear. It was the most popular combat knife in Vietnam, and continues to be used to this very date.

Explanations:

Pirate Elites are a more heavily armed and armored than lower-ranking pirate riflemen. In addition the standard assault rifle, pirate elites have body armor that protects them from smaller-caliber rounds, but is still easily pierced by heavier weapons.
 * -|5x Elite=

AK-103: The AK-103 assault rifle is a derivative of the AK-74M chambered for the 7.62×39mm M43 round, similar to the older AKM. The AK-103 can be fitted with a variety of sights, including night vision and telescopic sights, plus a knife-bayonet or a grenade launcher. The version of the weapon used by the pirates has an unusual wood furniture instead of the standard black plastic grips, making it look similar to the original AK-47. The weapon has a 30-round magazine and a range of 500 meters.

Kimber Warrior: The Kimber Warrior and Desert Warrior are models that are based on a special version of the Custom that was built for the United States Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command. The MARSOC pistol, known as the Kimber ICQB (Interim Close Quarter Battle) pistol, does not have an internal firing pin block as seen on the rest of the current Kimber Custom models, hence a "II" does not follow the Warrior or Desert Warrior's names. These pistols have an ambidextrous thumb safety, a lanyard loop, an internal extractor, and, in contrast to other Custom models, a standard length recoil spring guide rod to allow easier field stripping without tools. The weapon fires .45 ACP rounds and fires from an 8-round magazine.

Machete: A Machete is a large, heavy-bladed knife about 18 inches in length used in many tropical areas, most notably Latin America and Africa. The machete is used as a tool for cutting brush and harvesting sugar cane, as well as opening coconuts and other tough fruits and nuts. The machete is also commonly used as a weapon, particularly amongst militias and rebels in Africa and Latin America, and is often issued to military units operating in tropical areas. Similar weapons include the Filipino bolo, Nepalese kukri, and Japanese nata.

Light Body Armor Pirate Elites wear light body armor which provides some protection from enemy fire, but can be penetrated by larger-caliber rounds (assault rifle and large). The armor only covers the torso region. The armor is ductaped together, and not in very good condition.

Explanations:

Vaas's pirates employ snipers armed with Dragunov rifles and Agram 2000 SMGs for close combat. While pirate snipers are a major threat to Jason Brody, they are not as skilled as a professional military snipers, and their rifles mount laser sights, betraying their locations and making them easy targets for a skilled countersniper. Pirate snipers do not wear any body armor.
 * -|5x Snipers=

SVD Dragunov w/ laser sight The Dragunov sniper rifle (formally Russian: Снайперская винтовка Драгунова, Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova (SVD), literally "Dragunov's sniper rifle") is a semi-automatic sniper rifle/designated marksman rifle chambered in 7.62×54mmR and developed in the Soviet Union. The weapon has an effective range of 800 meters, fires from a ten-round magazine. The weapon comes standard with a 4x scope. The pirates have also added red laser sight, which may aid in aiming, but also makes the location of the sniper easily visible.

Agram 2000: The Agram 2000 is a Croatian Submachine Gun firing 9mm ammunition. The weapon is compatible with a variety of different magazine sizes, but for the purposes of this match, the weapon will come with a 22-round magazine. I was unable to find an exact range for the Agram, but I would estimate it to be about 100 meters.

Combat Knife: The KA-BAR is a combat knife that is used by Armed Forces World-wide. It got it's name when a trapper sent a letter to the company that made it about how, after his gun misfired, used it to kill an attacking bear.

Explanations:

RPG Gunners are the pirate's long-range heavy forces, usually seen defending bases or accompanying important pirate personnel. These Pirate carry an RPG-7 rocket launcher for engaging vehicles and groups of enemies, and can be very dangerous to the player. However, they lack any body armor, meaning they are easily picked off with any long-range weapon. They also carry an Agram 2000 for close combat.
 * -|3x RPG Gunner=

RPG-7: The RPG-7 is a Soviet-made 85mm anti-tank rocket launcher. The weapon was first delivered to the Soviet Army in 1961 and, like the AK-47 has since been widely exported during the Cold War era, and is still in the arsenal of many countries and paramilitary organization. The weapon is known for low cost, ease of use, durability and reliability. To some, it's the very symbol of guerrilla warfare. The weapon has a maximum range of over 900 meters, but an effective range of only about 200 meters

Agram 2000: The Agram 2000 is a Croatian Submachine Gun firing 9mm ammunition.

=Henrietta Croche and Triela Hartmann (Gunslinger Girl) vs Kanon and Shion Ozu (Coppelion)= =Henrietta and Triela=

Henrietta
Henrietta was a normal girl living in Italy until her family was brutally murdered and she was wounded. While in hospital, she was taken in by the Italian government's "Social Welfare Agency", which replaced her severely wounded body with state of the art cybernetics. But the "Social Welfare Agency" was no charity. The agency was a cover for creating cybernetic child soldiers for use against the mafia and a separatist terrorist organization known as the Five Republics Faction. Henrietta was placed with a "handler", an ex-military police officer named Guise Croche, and sent on black operations against terrorists. Henrietta's preferred weapons are an FN P90 submachine gun SIG Sauer P239 handgun.

Bayonet
=Kanon and Shion Ozu=

Kanon
Kanon Ozu is a Coppelion, as genetically engineered human immune to radiation, and a character in the anime and manga Coppelion. She was created in 2036, in a future Japan where Tokyo was abandoned because of nuclear accident that irradiated the entire city. Kanon and her sister Shion were both clones of actress Kuon Ozu, who was later discovered to be a serial killer. Both Kanon and Shion inherited their mother's violent, sadistic personality. After discovering the Coppelion were intentionally engineered to have a short lifespan, both Kanon and Shion made it their mission to take revenge against humanity. As of now, in the anime, they are currently aiding the 1st Division in their attempt to blow up the "sarcophagus" around the melted-down Odaiba Nuclear Reactor, sending radiation high into the atmosphere.

Powers
Kanon was spliced with the genes of an electric eel, giving herself the ability to create powerful electric discharges at will. These discharges can travel through the air, as well as any conductive media such as metal and water, however, if Kanon uses the attack near water, she may electrocute herself.

Kuroha Neko possesses the power to destroy any inanimate object, seemingly in a manner of her choosing.

It appears she can destroy any object in her like of sight, so long as she knows it is there, even if she can't see it. For instance, she is seen using the power to destroy bullets in flight in the anime opening.

=Royal Rumble! Henry VIII vs Sultan Murad IV= Henry VIII, the Tudor monarch well known for his six wives... and for carrying a pistol-mace-spear combination weapon.

VS

Sultan Murad IV, the violent Ottoman sultan known for carrying a massive mace and two-handed sword both said to weigh over 100 pounds.

WHO IS DEADLIEST?! =Combatants=

Murad IV
=Leader's Weapons=

"Henry's Walking Staff"
Henry VIII's carried a combination mace-spear-pistol, which he sometimes used as a walking stick, thus it's nickname "Henry's Walking Staff". The weapon had three matchlock pistol barrels in the head (I could not find whether they could be fired individually or all at once, but for the purposes of this match, it will be able to do both). The weapon also had a head covered in armor piercing spikes, for use like a mace, and a spike on the top, for use as a spear. The weapon had a handle that appears to be about 5-6 feet long.

Giant Mace (Murad)
Murad IV carried a large mace said to weigh 60 kilograms (132 pounds) and that no one was able to lift it apart from Murad himself. While I tend to be skeptical of these numbers, Ottoman maces, particularly ceremonial maces, tend to be quite heavy. In general, Ottoman maces either flanged or had a round head without spikes.

119's Edge
Both weapons are heavy and unwieldy, but Murad's seems more so, in spite of the Sultan's supposed strength. Also, Henry's mace has three guns attached, giving it a definite range advantage.

Two-Handed Sword (Henry)
Henry VIII also has a large, two-handed sword about five feet long. The weapon is typical of blades of two-handed swords of the era, being intended to chop through the shafts of polearms for use against formations of pikemen, or else for slashing off a horse's legs, before finishing off the rider when used against cavalry.

Hundred-Pound Sword (Murad)
Sultan Murad IV owned a large longsword said to weight over 100 pounds. I was unable to find many details on the weapon, but I did find an image of several large European-style two-handed swords displayed at the Tokapi palace in Istanbul. It is likely that Murad's longsword was similar to one of these blades.

119's Edge
Both weapons are large two-handed swords, and, as I am skeptical of the weight figure of Murad's blade, I will call this even for now. =Guard's Weapons=

Longsword (Henry)
The term "longsword" refers to a longer sword than the arming sword, while having the same basic shape of the arming sword, but having a length of up to about one and a half meters, designed more for thrusting, but still capable of cutting. The sword was used from the mid 1300s to the mid 1500s. The weapon was also known as a "hand and a half", as it can be used one or two handed. The Longsword fell out of favor in military service starting around the 1520s, with the introduction of the Swiss Sabre.

Kilij (Murad)
The kilij is a Turkish sword based on older Central Asian weapons used since. The kilij first appeared sometime in the late Middle Ages, and was definitely in use by the time of the late 1400s. The weapon has a slightly curved blade made of high carbon steel, with a reinforced point that is significantly wider than the rest of the blade with a false edge. This gave the kilij formidable cutting ability. The kilij often had a hook-shaped pommel. The kilij was used not only by the Turks, but also in parts of Eastern Europe that had contact with the Ottoman Empire.

119's Edge
The weapon are similar in length, however, I give a slight edge to the kilij, as it is capable of delivering lethal slashes- it cut a pig carcass clean in half in an episode of Deadliest Warrior, and is also capable of thrusting, with its reinforced point.

Bill/Billhook (Henry)
Derived originally from the agricultural billhook, the bill consisted of a hooked chopping blade with several pointed projections mounted on a staff. The end of the cutting blade curves forward to form a hook, which is the bill's distinguishing characteristic. In addition, the blade almost universally had one pronounced spike straight off the top like a spear head, and also a hook or spike mounted on the 'reverse' side of the blade. There were many types of bill. English bills tended to be relatively short, with broad chopping heads, while Italian bills (ronche) often had very long thrusting points. The English distinguished between several varieties of bill, including the black, brown and forest bills, but the differences between them are currently not fully understood.

Ottoman Halberd (Murad)
The halberd is a type of polearm combining an axe head, spear point, and spike or hook for unhorsing cavalry. The weapon was effective as it allowed a foot soldier to combat cavalry by using the spear head to prevent cavalry from closing in, the hook for pulling knights off horseback, and the axe head for delivering a killing blow capable of piercing armor. The weapon was, like the pike commonly used by forces of peasant conscripts or rebels, as it was cheap, yet efficient to use. The Ottoman version of the halberd was identical in use to the European version of the weapon, with only cosmetic differences.

119's Edge
Murad's Halberd, for its greater versatility.

Shield Pistol (Henry)
During the time of Henry VIII, the British royal guard were armed with matchlock shield pistols. The weapons consisted of a short-barreled matchlock firearm in the center of a buckler. The shield pistol was presumably used in combination with a sword as an off-hand weapon, with the shield used to parry incoming blows and the pistol used at practically point blank range, as pistols were often used at the time.

Wheellock Pistol (Murad)
The wheellock mechanism is a mechanism of firearm operation in use in the late 1500s and early 1600s. The wheellock worked using a spring-loaded wheel, which was wound up and, upon pulling the trigger, the spring released, spinning the wheel, while at the same time a spring loaded arm with a small piece of iron pyrite, called the dog, struck the spinning wheel, creating a spark, which ignited the gunpowder in the pan, and subsequently the main charge in a manner similar to a modern cigarette lighter. The wheellock mechanism's main advantage over the matchlock was that was self-igniting, not requiring a slow-burning match, and was smaller, allowing for greater concealability. The wheellock was used mainly in pistols, as it was more expensive than the matchlock, and had to be wound up before it could be fired, slowing the reloading process. The wheellock was later replaced by snaphance and flintlock firearms in the 1600s.

119's Edge
While the wheellock's more conventional design might make it easier to aim, pistols of the period were used at practically point blank range. The wheellock has a more advanced ignition system, however, the shield pistol is more versatile, being able to block incoming sword attacks as well as being used as a pistol.

Matchlock Musket (Both)
The matchlock musket, also known as an arquebus, is an early firearm, and the first to have a mechanism recognizable as a trigger. The weapon was fired using a mechanism that held a slow burning cord, the "match" in place until the trigger was pulled, at which point the mechanism would move the match downward, into the firing pan, igniting the powder in the pan as well as the main charge. Some variants, known as snap matchlocks used a small spring to force the match down into the pan. The matchlock musket improved on the earlier Hand Cannon, as the mechanism held the match in place, meaning it was less likely that a soldier would drop the match, for instance. However, it had many of the same drawbacks as the hand cannon. Specifically, the matchlock was a smoothbore weapon, meaning it was innaccurate at ranges of over 50-100 meters, and only truly effective when used in formation, and could only fire one shot before a length reloading process. Prior to the invention of the bayonet, musketeers had no melee weapons except for the butt on their gun or possibly as sword or dagger, which would be little use against a charging cavalryman, for instance. For that reason, matchlock muskets were used in dense "pike and shot" formations, with pikemen protecting the musketeers, preventing cavalry from closing in. When these formations, along with volley fire techniques in which multiple soldiers took turns firing and reloading, so that there was always a row of men firing, were utilized, however, matchlock firearms proved to be devastating against cavalry. The matchlock musket saw use throughout Europe, as well as in the Middle East, India, and eventually East Asia, where matchlocks, known to the Japanese as tanegashima, after the island where they were introduced by the Portuguese and quickly became popular with samurai warlords such as Oda Nobunaga, who appreciated their ease of use, allowing even peasant- foot soldiers to use them with minimal training, yet cause devastating damage to cavalry when used in formation. Matchlocks were used through the 1500s and into the 1600s, being slowly replaced by wheellock and flintlock designs, though not being completely replaced in the 1720s. =X-Factors=

Explanations
While Henry commanded troops during a war with the French, he did not have as much combat experience as Murad, who personally lead his troops into battle on multiple occasions during a war with the Safavids. Both men were highly trained, as it was customary for royalty of the period to regularly practice with military arts such as swordsmanship. I give Henry a higher rate for armor as images of Henry's plate armor seemed to provide more per all-around protection than contemporary Ottoman suits of armor. Murad, however, was legendary for his physical strength, being able to wield a massive sword and mace. He was known to able to win wrestling matches against four opponents at once. However, for all his strength, Murad's mental health was rather poor. He was known to be a raging alcoholic (in spite of prohibiting consumption of alcohol in his empire), and to be extremely violent, and would attack on impulse. For instance, he would attack people in the streets of Constantinople with his mace or sword if he saw them breaking laws or even if they simply angered him. There are even claims that on occasion, late in the night, he ran out of the palace partly naked, armed with his sword, and killed anyone in his path. Henry was brutal, and more than willing to kill anyone who got in his way, but he was still in touch with reality (although perhaps less so in his later years, but this match features a younger Henry).

=Smaug (The Hobbit) vs The Third Recon Team (Gate)= Smaug, the last of the dragons of Middle Earth, whose devastated the dwarven kingdom of Erebor and the human city of Dale

VS

The Third Recon Team, the JSDF unit sent through a portal to a fantasy world of dragons, elves, and low tech, but hostile armies.

WHO IS DEADLIEST? =Smaug= One of the last of the great Fire Drakes of Middle-Earth, the dragon known as Smaug was a horrifying sight for the free peoples who were unfortunate enough to encounter his fearsome visage. Infamous, not only for his cruelty and strength, but for his cunning and creative mind, Smaug often made careful plans that would only result in his personal gain, eventually culminating in his destructive invasion of the Misty Mountains, killing many of the Dwarves who lived there and stealing their countless treasures from them, making their mountain halls his home.

Smaug spent most of his days after this invasion resting, basking in his newly begotten treasures. So long did he lay upon his bed of jewels and coins, the riches began to stick to his stomach- the soft, vulnerable area that was exploited to kill many of his kind. This armor was incredibly effective, allowing him to be neigh unstoppable when he did chose to take to the skies and terrorize the locals, including the Men of Dale.

Smaug's many years of terrorizing was finally ended when a Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, joined a group of Dwarf survivors of his attack on the Misty Mountains, including prince Thorin Oakenshield, and guided by Gandalf. This group planned to take back the mountain, and their efforts awoke the fury of Smaug, who launched an attack on the nearby Laketown, where Bard the Bowman took advantage of a small gap in Smaug's armor, shooting a magic black arrow into the Dragon's chest. Left mad, but still fighting, the villagers mounted an attack on the fallen dragon, and while many died, Smaug eventually fell to another strike to the chest.

Fire Breath
Smaug possesses the signature ability of most dragons of fantasy, notably the ability to breath fire. Smaug's breath is depicted in the movie as a flamethrower-like blast capable of being projected at least 50 meters. The flames are hot enough to instantly ignite human flesh, as well as wood and foliage.

Claws and Teeth
For close combat, Smaug possesses a set of razor-sharp claws and teeth. He describes his teeth as "swords" and claws as "spears", suggesting he is skilled at using them in combat.

Tail
In his threatening monologue to Bilbo, Smaug suggests he is accomplished at using his tail as a weapon as well, describing the "shock of (his) tail" as "a thunderbolt". For the purposes of this match, the tail will carry considerable blunt force given its large mass, capable of easily breaking bones, sending humans flying through the air, an possibly even flipping vehicles.

Armor
The scales of a Dragon of Middle Earth are very thick, capable of deflecting arrow fire, small ceramic grenades (the dwarvish "flashflame" made by Balin in the movie), and even a small siege engine armed with a dwarvish-made "black arrow" is no guarantee of victory. The main weakness of a dragon is the lower body, but, Smaug has laid in a horde of treasure for long enough that gold and gems stick to his body, armoring him. Also, as one would expect from a creature that literally breathes fire, he is also naturally resistant to heat to the point that being covered in molten gold only slowed him briefly.

Against the 21st century firepower of the Third Recon Team, Smaug will be less protected, but still quite resiliant, the thick scales, gold and gem armor, and sheer body mass mean it will, for the purposes of this match, take sustained fire (dozen or more magazines) to bring him down with standard caliber (5.56mm, 7.62mm etc) rounds anywhere accept his underbelly, which, once the gems and gold are stripped away (sustained fire will do this), he will be very vulnerable to small arms fire. Damage will also be greater at close range, and greater from 7.62mm than 5.56mm. .50 caliber rounds will be assumed to be able to take him down even more quickly. A well placed round to a vital point on the underbelly could prove fatal or at least crippling. Also, hits to the eye will blind him in that eye (obviously), and may go straight through to the brain. Hits that go into the mouth will also do sever damage, with a grenade in the mouth or a bullet into the roof of the mouth and instant kill. Grenades will do most damage when they detonate right next to Smaug, while rockets will be instant kills to the head or body, and if they hit a leg, wing, or tail, they will destroy that appendage.

Flight
Smaug, like most dragons of fantasy, possesses large wings on his back with a roughly bat-wing shape, giving him the ability to fly. Given his mass and the limitations of biological flight (muscle power etc), it is likely that Smaug would fly more slowly than any man-made aircraft. For the purpose of this match, he will fly at speeds of up to about 60 miles per hour/ 100 kph in a straight line line, but may reach speeds of up to about 80 miles per hour/ 128 kph or more in a dive.

=Third Recon Team=

Personnel
The 3rd Special Recon Team is a Japanese Self-Defense Force team of 13 soldiers, formed after a portal to a fantasy world appeared in Tokyo and Roman-like army came out and attacked. The attack, however, was easily repulsed by the technologically superior Japanese Self-Defense Force. The JSDF then launched a counterattack through the portal, crushing the Imperial Army, killing over 100,000 of them with machine guns, tanks, and Cobra gunships. The Special Recon Team was formed with the mission of exploring the vast new world, designated the "Special Region" and making contact with the locals. The team soon discovers a village burned the by a dragon, and rescue the lone survivor, an elvish girl named Tuka Luna Marceau. The 3rd Recon Team later makes contact with a convoy of carts and wagons carrying refugees from conflicts in the area in the wake of the power vaccuum after the destruction of the Imperial Army. The dragon returns and attacks the convoy surviving even .50 caliber machine gun fire, but its eyes prove vulnerable. The Recon Team then shoots the dragon with a Panzerfaust 3. The shot was off, not killing the dragon, but still managing to blow its leg off. The dragon then retreats, severely wounded, much to the amazement of the refugees. The 3rd Recon team later encounters two other allies from the new world, a young sorceress in training named Lelei La Lalena and Rory Mercury, a priestess of a war god and self-proclaimed 900+ year old demigoddess known for fighting with a berserker rage with her gigantic battle axe.

Toyota High Mobility Vehicle
First designed in 1995 for the JSDF and manufactured until 2002, the High Mobility Vehicle, marketed to civilians as the Mega Cruiser, is Toyota's answer to the Humvee. The vehicle has a 115 horsepower 4.1 liter diesel engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission. I could not find data on top speed, but the similar Humvee has a top speed of over 70 miles per hour.

Komatsu LAV
The Komatsu LAV (Japanese: 軽装甲機動車; kei-sōkō-kidōsha?), first produced in 2002, is used exclusively by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, and has seen use in the Iraq War. It is built by Komatsu Ltd. Defense Systems Division in Komatsu, Ishikawa, Japan. Komatsu's factory designator for the vehicle is KU50W.

The exterior resembles the Panhard VBL, used by the French army, but the LAV has 4 doors and a large cabin for carrying soldiers. The LAV can also be transported by air in vehicles like the CH-47J and the C-130H. (From Wikipedia)

The vehicle will, for the purposes of this match, carry a Browning M2 .50 caliber machine gun in a rooftop mount with a square 360 degree gunshield to partially protect the body of the gunner. The vehicle is hardened against assault rifle and rifle caliber rounds including 5.56 and 7.62mm NATO. The vehicle has a top speed of about 100 kilometers per hour.

Mitsubishi Type 74 Light Truck
The Mitsubishi Type 73 Light Truck (73式小型トラック 73-shiki kogata torakku?) is a series of military light trucks that are used as mini SUVs in the JSDF. They have been under production by Mitsubishi Motors since 1973. In JSDF service, it is officially known as the 1/2 Ton Truck. They are powered by Mitsubishi-made 4-cylinder diesel engines with a total of 123 horsepower. (From Wikipedia)

The Type-74 will carry an FN Minimi/M249 SAW light machine gun in a pintle mount.

Bayonet
The M9 Bayonet is a knife bayonet that can double as a combat knife. The weapon can be used mounted onto the end of a rifle (such as the M4 or Howa Type 64), or on its own as a knife. The bayonet has a seven-inch blade.

SiG Sauer P226
The SIG Sauer P220 features a family of pistols based upon the design of the P220. The pistols of this series are semi-autmoatic and fires the 9x19 Parabellum, .45 ACP, and .30 Luger. The series is currently manufactured by Sauer & Sohn and is released from Eckernförde, Germany. The weapon is recoil operated and has a magazine capacity of 7, 9 ,or 10 rounds. The pistol was designed to replace the ex-Swiss standard firearm, the SIG P210. Currently, the pistol family is being used by 18 different countries, in dozens of different military and law-enforcement departments. The weapons series is still in service since 1975. For the purposes of this match, the SIG will have a ten-round magazine.

Magpul PDR
The Magpul PDR (Personal Defense Rifle) is a compact bullpup-style 5.56x45mm carbine being developed by Magpul Industries. Although halted in development, it has garnered some attention, largely due to its "futuristic" appearance. The system consists of a gas-operated bullpup intended to replace some submachine guns, M9 pistols and M4 carbines while still offering the rapid fire and range of a M4 carbine in an ultra compact firearm.

The PDR is one of the few personal defense weapons to use a standard caliber. This decision was made to minimize the logistic burden of the weapon. The method of operation is a short stroke gas piston that may or may not include a two baffle compensator, barrel lengths of between 10.5 to 12.5 inches. It is striker-fired, uses STANAG magazines, features an ambidextrous ejection system, and ambidextrous controls. A Picatinny rail offers mounting for various optics. There is also some indication of integrated lighting and/or laser systems. (From Wikipedia)

For the purposes of this match the Magpul will have a 30-round magazine.

Howa Type 64
The Howa Type 64 (64式自動小銃 Rokujuu-yon-shiki-jidou-shoujuu?), is a Japanese battle rifle used exclusively by the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the Japanese Coast Guard replacing the M1 Garand but later replaced by the Howa Type 89. The weapon fires a 7.62mm NATO round and has an effective range of 400 meters. The Type 64 has a rate of fire of 500 rpm in full auto.

M249 SAW
The Fabrique Nationale Minimi short for "Mini Mitrailleuse" (French: mini machine gun), is a Belgian 5.56mm NATO light machine gun designed as a squad-level fire support weapon. A variant of the weapon is used by the United States Armed Forces under the designation M249 Squad Automatic Weapon. The weapon has a rate of fire of 700-1150 rounds per minute depending on model and a range of up to about a kilometer. The weapon is fed from 200-round linked ammuntion belts or, in an emergency, 30-round STANAG magazine.

Panzerfaust 3
The Panzerfaust 3 is a modern German-made rocket launcher that entered service with the Bundeswehr in 1992, not the be confused with the WWII-era Panzerfaust. The weapon has a range of 920 meters, at which point it will self destruct, though the effective range is typically much shorter. The Panzerfaust 3 can use a variety of warheads, including hollow charge, tandem charge, and anti-bunker warheads. The weapon is equipped with a scope for greater accuracy.

M67 Grenade
The M67 fragmentation grenade is the current standard issue hand grenade for the United States and other military forces worldwide. The grenade was first issued in the 1970s, replacing the M26 and M61 grenades used during the Vietnam War. The grenade is activated by pulling the safety pin and then throwing the grenade. Pulling the pin releases the safety lever or "spoon", however, the spoon should be held in place by the users hand until the grenade is thrown, at which point the spoon releases, activating the fuse.

Rory Mercury
Rory Mercury is a priestess of the war god, Emroy, as well as a self-proclaimed 961-year old demigoddess though she has the appearance of a girl of about 13. Rory wears a clothing simiar to the "gothic lolita" fashion- namely a black, frilly dress with dark purple trim. Rory appears to have superhuman strength, wielding a halberd larger than she is with a berserker rage, cutting down several enemies with each swing of the blade. Rory is the one of the few people in the "Special Region" that are as feared as the JSDF. This violent demeanor has caused Itami to describe her as a "perfect match" for Shino. While Rory is extremely violent and sadistic, she does seem to have a sense of justice, generally killing bandits, raiders, and others who murder innocents, while avoiding killing innocents herself and showing loyalty towards her new allies. Rory later proves herself capable of killing multiple special forces personnel, as well as surviving hits from small arms fire. She is also able to regenerate from wounds, though, she does still feel pain and could potentially be incapacitated from severe damage. It is not known what would happen if she was hit with something capable of completely destroying her body, such as a nuclear weapon, but for the purposes of any matches here, she will still be kill-able if her body is completely destroy, by say, repeated direct explosive impacts or a nuclear weapon, if her severed head is kept separated from the rest of her body for a long period of time (if not truly killing her, at least leaving her a severed head with no offensive abilities) or hit by a powerfully supernatural weapon.

Halberd
Rory Mercury wields a massive battle axe or halberd about seven feet in total length, taller than Rory herself. In spite of the halberd's size, she has no difficulty wielding it. The weapon appears appears to be composed entirely of an unknown metal, painted black. While it does not have the back spike of most halberds, Rory's weapon does have a massive axe blade, perhaps 3 feet long, as well as a 1-1.5 foot spear head on top. The weapon is shown to be incredibly sharp, with Rory being able to decapitate several enemies with one swing. The blade is also durable enough to block assault rifles bullets, a feat Rory is more than fast enough to achieve.

Magic Attacks
=Battle of the Fantasy Tyrants: Joffery Baratheon (Game of Thrones) vs Zorzal Caesar (Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There)= Joffery Baratheon, the tyrannical boy-king of the Seven Kingdoms, who orders the executions of countless victims, and reveled in the deaths of innocents

VS

Zorzal Caesar, the bloodthirsty Crown Prince of the Empire, who slaughtered entire races and took their women as sex slaves, until his reign of terror was cut short by an extradimensional modern army.

WHO IS DEADLIEST?!

Joffrey Baratheon
"Everyone is mine to torment."

- Joffrey Baratheon

Joffrey Baratheon is one of the primary antagonists of the novel series A Song of Fire and Ice by George R.R. Martin, and later, the TV series A Game of Thrones. After the death of his father, Robert, Joffrey was crowned King of the Seven Kingdoms. He quickly proved himself to be a violent and tyrannical ruler, and likely a sociopath as well. Joffrey was known to revel in both committing and watching violence, both ordering numerous people executed or tortured, most notably Eddard "Ned" Stark, who he had killed after he discovered that Joffrey was born of incest between Jaime and Cersei Lannister, and was not a true heir to throne. This ignites a civil war in Westeros which becomes known as the War of the Five Kings, with five separate claimants to the Iron Throne.

Since that point, Joffrey's reign was marked by a series of atrocities, including his repeated abuse of both Sansa Stark, who was betrothed to him, and later his second choice of wife, Margaery Tyrell, frequently beating both women, though he is never seen to sleep with either of them, suggesting he may be asexual, preferring violence to sex. Joffrey's bloodthirsty nature is further cemented when he orders the tongue of a minstrel who insulted him cut out in front of him. Joffery cared little for the hardships of his people, allowing the peasantry of his kingdom to starve. When they rioted in King's Landing, demanding bread, Joffery fired on the crowd from the battlements of the Red Keep with his crossbow, killing several of them, as well as ordering his soldiers to kill the entire crowd after one of the rioters threw a pie at him. Joffery also committed repeated abuses of prostitutes, in one instance, ordering two prostitutes to beat each other, after they were sent by Tyrion Lannister, who believed Joffery's violence may be due to sexual frustration. He later catches one of the prostitute he abused, Rós, spying on lord Petyr Baelish, and murders her with his crossbow.

Joffrey finally meets his downfall on the day of his marriage to Margaery Tyrell, when he drinks poisoned wine and dies.

Joffrey shows many the classic signs of being a sociopath, including lack of empathy towards others and a tendency towards violence, starting with torturing animals in his childhood, as well as frequently bullying other children, most notably his younger brother, Tommen, for his own amusement. In spite of his violent tendencies, Joffrey is a coward, reveling in bring violence on others, but quick to flee or break down if threatened with violence himself. Joffrey is also not a particularly competent swordsman. Indeed, his only combat-related skill is that he is a decent shot with a crossbow. Joffrey is a also not particularly intelligent or one for battlefield strategy, with much of the tactics and planning in the War of the Five Kings left to his grandfather Tywin Lannister.

Zorzal Caesar
"Their country has been 'mysteriously' annihilated. That poor idiot Tyuule has no idea and still begs me for mercy."

- Zorzal Caesar

Zorzal Caesar is the crown prince of "The Empire", a major power in a parallel universe with a Roman-like society and technology level, where magic and mythical creatures exist. The Empire creates or finds (its not immediately clear) a gate between dimensions, and send and army into the Ginza district of Tokyo. An off-duty Japanese Self Defense Force officer, Youji Itami shows previously unknown leadership skills, taking command of the police, who hole up in the Imperial palace and hold off the Imperial army with handguns, submachine guns, and riot shields until the JSDF arrives and easily crushes the Imperial army, before launching a counteroffensive through the Gate, killing over 100,000 Imperial soldiers with machine guns, tanks, and Cobra gunships.

Zorzal is first featured in chapter 30 of the manga, abusing and raping Tyuule, the former queen of a race similar in appearance to kememomimi- humans with animal ears, Tyuule herself has rabbit-like ears. Zorzal conquered Tyuule's people three years previously, and Tyuule offered herself into his service if he would save the lives of her people. Zorzal, however, unbeknownst to Tyuule, Zorzal ordered her people massacred and took her into sexual slavery, along with several other women from captured nations.

Zorzal later makes a second appearance when Japan sends a peace and disaster relief envoy to the empire after an earthquake, escorted by Youji Itami and his unit, the Third Recon Team. Zorzal arrives in the emperor's throne room, leading several of his sex slaves in chains and collars around their necks. One of them, he states is a Japanese civilian named Noriko, who was kidnapped and taken back across the gate in the first hours of the invasion, before the Empire was decisively defeated. Youji is infuriated, and punches Zorzal in the face. Zorzal orders his guards to kill Youji and his men, but they prove no match for the firepower of their assault rifles. Several of the guards are killed by gunfire or bayonets, before the rest flee in terror. Youji then order a particularly bloodthirsty member of his squad, a female soldier named Shino Kuribayashi, to torture information about any other Japanese prisoners in the Empire out of Zorzal.

Shino does this with extreme enthusiasm, brutally beating Zorzal and breaking his fingers. Zorzal reveals that the captives were taken and sold as slaves. Youji then rescues the captives and leaves the palace. When the Japanese authorities find out about the captives, they send a warning to the empire: evacuate the Imperial senate. The JSDF then send two F-4 Phantoms to bomb the imperial senate as a demonstration of their power. It is later revealed that Tyuule knows that Zorzal ordered her race wiped out, and is plotting to get her revenge. Tyuule intends to kill the Japanese civilian rescued from slavery, and frame the Empire for her death, in order to provoke the Japanese into destroying the Empire in retaliation. =Weapons=

Misericorde (Joffery)
Like many weapons in Westeros, the daggers are based on real-world Medieval Europe. Multiple designs exist, but in this case, Joffery and his Kingsguard will carry double-edged daggers with a long, tapering blade, similar to the medieval misericorde. These weapons are mostly intended for finishing off a downed enemy.

Widow's Wail (Joffrey)
Widow's Wail is a Westerossi longsword made of Valyrian steel, one of two reforged from Eddard Stark's Valyrian steel greatsword. Valyrian steel is supernaturally durable, not losing its edge, and is much lighter than normal steel. Widow's Wail has a length of about one meter.

Spatha (Zorzal)
The spatha is a cavalry sword from the Roman Empire. It is longer than the Gladius and later replaced it as the principal sword of the Roman Empire. The Empire in Gate uses a sword similar to a the spatha as a cavalry weapon. Zorzal's Spatha appears to be about one meter in length.

119's Edge
Joffrey's Widow's Wail is a far superior quality blade with its Valyrian steel construction, however, Joffery is a very poor swordsman who appears to have received little, if any formal training, so, while the sword takes the edge, the man behind it does not.

=It Takes A Cloned Killer to Kill a Cloned Killer.... Agent 47 (Hitman) vs Kanon and Shion Ozu (Coppelion)=

Scenario
Hello 47,

Your next mission is highly dangerous, but there will be a large payoff should you succeed. Your targets are Kanon and Shion Ozu, two Coppelion- cloned humans with an immunity to radiation created by the Japanese Self Defense Force to enter areas irradiated in nuclear accidents. The JSDF have authorized this contract after the targets were discovered to have the personality of their genetic donor, a who was later discovered to be a serial killer, and are thus considered too dangerous to be allowed to live. You are to infiltrate the base of the Coppellion project, disguised as a technical school, and eliminate both targets. Be warned that both of your targets are trained in combat, and have other abilities beyond immunity to radiation. Kanon's DNA was spliced with that of an electric eel, giving her the ability to emit electical discharges. Shion's strength is augmented to a greater degree than your own, giving her the ability to easily break concrete with her bare hands. However, they have no immunity to fatal injury. I recommend you use stealth on this one.

-Good Luck, 47 =Agent 47=

Fiber Wire
A Garrote is a weapon used to strangle a target, by either cutting the wind pipe or cutting off air. They can be made from piano wire, a rope, or even a scarf. If it cuts off blood flow to the brain, it can kill in under 5 seconds. 47's garrote is a non-metallic fiber wire designed specifically for the purpose.

Agency Tanto Knife
The Agency Tanto knife is a combat knife with a Tanto-style blade, with a black aniodized coating on the blade, serving both the protect the blade from corrosion and to prevent reflection that might give away the user's position. The weapon is intended mostly for thrusting, but it can also be used for slashing attack, typically aimed at the throat, and as a throwing knife.

Dual Silverballer Pistols
Agent 47 uses a customized AMT Hardballer handgun called the "Silverballer". The Silverballer is an AMT Hardballer, basically a Colt M1911 clone with a stainless steel body, meaning it probably has a range of 30-50 meters. The weapon fires .45 ACP rounds. Agent 47's Silverballer will be equipped with a suppressor and an extended magazine holding 12 rounds. The original AMT Hardballer had a problem with jamming and damage due to galling of the stainless steel, as lubrication at the time was inadequate to prevent this. Agent 47's Silverballer, however, probably has been modified to prevent this.

Remote C-4
Agent 47 often uses C-4 plastic explosives activated with a remote detonator as a weapon, the advantage being that it allows 47 to kill a target from a distance even without a direct line of sight. 47 will often place the charges to drop objects or trigger gas explosions etc, making the target's death look like an accident, or else rig objects such as vehicles to explode when used.

Pickup Weapons

The carbine will later shift into the standard firearm for the American armed forces. 35 nations have the M4 as part of their arsenal and is widely used by both their armies and special forces.

M79 Grenade Launcher (Armory, Kanon Ozu)
The M79, commonly known as the Thumper is a single-shot, break action grenade launcher first adopted in 1960. The launcher was designed to give infantry squads greater firepower, and was intended to fire a grenade further than it could be thrown by hand, with more accuracy than older rifle grenades. The weapon thus intended as a sort of middle-ground between a hand grenade and a mortar. The weapon served through the Vietnam War, until the M203 was placed into service in 1969 and the M79 was gradually replaced, though it is still in use for some purposes it it has a longer range than the M-203. The M79 was replaced with the M203 as the M203 was an underbarrel launcher, allowing the grenadier to carry a rifle as well as the launcher, whereas the M79 operator could only carry a pistol and a combat knife as secondary weapons.

M67 Grenade (Armory)

The grenade was first issued in the 1970s, replacing the M26 and M61 grenades used during the Vietnam War. The grenade is activated by pulling the safety pin and then throwing the grenade. Pulling the pin releases the safety lever or "spoon", however, the spoon should be held in place by the users hand until the grenade is thrown, at which point the spoon releases, activating the fuse.

C-4 (Armory)

Kanon
Kanon Ozu is a Coppelion, as genetically engineered human immune to radiation, and a character in the anime and manga Coppelion. She was created in 2036, in a future Japan where Tokyo was abandoned because of nuclear accident that irradiated the entire city. Kanon and her sister Shion were both clones of actress Kuon Ozu, who was later discovered to be a serial killer. Both Kanon and Shion inherited their mother's violent, sadistic personality. After discovering the Coppelion were intentionally engineered to have a short lifespan, both Kanon and Shion made it their mission to take revenge against humanity. As of now, in the anime, they are currently aiding the 1st Division in their attempt to blow up the "sarcophagus" around the melted-down Odaiba Nuclear Reactor, sending radiation high into the atmosphere.

Powers
Kanon was spliced with the genes of an electric eel, giving herself the ability to create powerful electric discharges at will.
