 * TemplateDeath.png



Welcome ladies and gentleman to my first (unoriginal) Halloween special ! Today we will be pitting two silent merchants of death who have slaughtered many. Jason Vorhees, the menace of Crystal Lake who strikes both literally and figuratively strikes fear into people's hearts with his machete! Death, one of the famed Four Horseman of Apocalypse whose axe leads Moloch's charge to invade the world! Prepare yourselves, these "men" as they are called both have inhuman endurance and durability, but only one can become...The Deadliest Halloween Warrior!

Death (Sleepy Hollow)
Death is one of the four riders of the Apocalypse who is a servant of the demonic entity, Moloch. In a former life, Death served as a Hessian soldier of the American Revolution in Moloch's original plan. However, his efforts are hindered when he is decapitated by Ichabod Crane, an American spy in the Continental Army. As they both begin to bleed out to death, Ichabod's wife Catrina places a spell on the two that binds the their lives together. When Moloch resurrects Death in the year 2013, he also revives Ichabod in the process. Now, equipped with modern weaponry and his iconic axe, Death is prepared to quite literally bring hell onto Earth.

Abilities/Powers:
Horseman Physiology: As one of the horsemen of the apocalypse, Abraham possesses many powers and enhanced traits.
 * Immortality: Being one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Abraham was practically granted immortality and possesses minimal invulnerability. He is capable of withstanding multiple gunshots and isn't fazed after being hit repeatedly with a shovel. However, gunshots do seem to temporarily stun him in his tracks.It's possible that the Horseman may possess a limited healing factor (hence him surviving various injuries, though he may not be able to regenerate severed limbs). It's implied the horseman has the power to kill nearly any being (being Death itself), as the angel Orion, fled after his weapon was destroyed rather than face the horseman.
 * Restoration: His axe was revealed to be the Totem of Death, therefore it can absorb energy from the undead who are loyal to him and that energy can be used to fully heal Abraham from major supernatural injuries, such as those from the Philosopher's Stone.
 * Enhanced strength: He also appears to have greatly enhanced strength, at superhuman levels. The moment a spell that was preventing him from escaping was broken, he was able to rip apart several large chains that were restraining him with ease. He could also wield his colt M4A1 with a single hand without suffering any recoil. Abraham has punched or kicked humans, particularly Ichabod on all their altercations, with enough force to easily lift them off their feet and send them flying backward.
 * Enhanced durability: Abraham appears to be much more durable than the average human as he was able to withstand multiple gunshots and being impaled with numerous fences to the chest without much fuss. He also was not fazed when Ichabod repeatedly hit him with a shovel.
 * Telepathy: The Horseman has also demonstrated the ability to utilize Andy Brooks as a translator, being able to communicate through him to others.
 * Enchantment: The horseman is able to heat up his axe to 500 degrees at will in order to cauterize the wound of the victim's head every time he decapitates his victims. He has also shown that he can heat other weapons, such as a throwing axethat he attempted to kill Ichabod with.
 * Shape-shifting: The Horseman was shown to shapeshift into a police officer after putting on a different head in place of his original head. This ability may relate to the profession of the head he was wearing at the time, able to disguise himself as whatever the previous head was in life.
 * Skilled Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Abraham is also very good in unarmed combat as well. Utilising a combination of grappling procedures and powerful blows. His hand to hand combat skills allows him to quickly best Ichabod when he attacked him with a shovel while bare handed, easily parrying crane attacks and then powerfully punching him twice to the ground.
 * Weapon proficiency: In his human life, Abraham was very interested in fencing and took fencing lessons. As a continental army soldier, Abraham received extensive training in swordsmanship and became an exceptionally skilled swordsman and a very focused confident and accomplished duelist. His swordsmanship greatly rivals, if not surpasses that of Ichabod, evidenced when he easily fought on par with and even defeated Ichabod in a sword duel as a human and later as the horsemen of death without his skull, showing his skills in swordsmanship had not decreased despite rarely fighting with a sword, albeit it should be noted that Ichabod had not been fighting to kill Abraham in their first duel and in their second sword fight, Abraham had an advantage due to Ichabod not knowing his skills and later when Ichabod was angered and recklessly charged at him .  However, after becoming a Hessian, the broadaxe became Abraham's primary weapon and he is able to wield it with immense proficiency, as shown when he disarmed the Kindred and overpowered Ichabod when they dueled in the past when Abraham was at full power with his head intact, but Ichabod was somehow able to defeat Abraham in their third and fourth fight when Abraham wielded his axe while he wielded a sword. When it came to discovering modern day firearms, Abraham would simply fire wildly at his targets but nevertheless uses it to a quite devastating effect. However, he has gotten better at aiming over time as he became more experienced, allowing him to accurately shoot at even moving targets.

Jason Vorhees(Friday the 13th)
Jason Voorhees was born on June 13th, 1946 in Crystal Lake, New Jersey to Pamela and Elias Voorhees. Jason was born with severe deformities and was mentally retarded. His father left Jason and his mother soon after he was born and his mother kept him away from most of society during his childhood.

In 1957 Pamela got a job as a cook at Camp Crystal Lake where she let Jason attend during the day. One day he nearly drowned due to the negligence of two camp counselors. Jason disappeared and thinking he was dead, Pamela killed the two counselors the next year. The camp shut down after that and any attempt to reopen it was stopped by Pamela.

In 1979 there was another attempt to reopen the camp ending with Pamela killing all of the people who tried to open it except one who decapitated her with a machete. After his mother died, Jason reemerged from the lake and from that point on began stalking and killing people at Camp Crystal Lake. Jason kept terrorizing the area for decades and seemed to always come back to life even when people were sure he was dead. Jason killed anyone who he encountered and progressively through being killed and coming back to life, again and again, became zombie like and resembled a walking corpse and tried to kill every member of his family for an unknown reason.

In 2010, Jason got captured by the US government, who, after several failed attempts to kill him, froze him in Crystal Lake. Years later in 2499, the Earth has become inhospitable. A group of teenagers and their professor who are on a field trip to Earth discovered Jason on brought them onto their ship where he is resurrected by a damaged medical machine and brought back to life before going on a killing spree. Ultimately, Jason was ejected out of an airlock, and crashed back to Earth.

Abilities/Powers:

 * Superhuman Strength: Jason in Part 2 was shown to have some sort of enhanced strength capable of impaling victims with ease and was capable of breaking out a window with a single shot and his fist was barely formed and within Part III was capable of crunching someone's head while lifting them and later throwing said 100+ pound man through a window.
 * Supernatural Durability: As an undead Jason now has beyond superhuman durability able to endure and tank virtually anything thrown at him from taking revolver shots and even surviving a motorboat repellor to the face.
 * Stealth (Stalk/Super Speed): Jason can seemingly appear near his victims through means of walking, he can easily slip in and out of areas undetected. This is best seen in Part VIII when Jason kills Charles. He can swim at incredible speeds, completely unrestricted by water resistance. He can make himself go unnoticed in his surroundings, allowing him to freely act without being noticed.
 * Weapons Proficiency: Jason can use anything at his disposal as a weapon, he can create improvised weapons and instantly use them effectively.
 * Revanant Zombie Physiology: After being resurrected from a lightning bolt strike caused by Tommy Jarvis stabbing his corpse with a metal rod, Jason was accidentally brought back to life as an Undead but unlike the usual Zombies, Jason doesn't want to eat human flesh nor crave anything like usual zombies but instead Jason Voorhees has kept his human personality and kept his former memories intact meaning now he is just a Zombie with intelligence.
 * Immortality: After becoming a revenant zombie in Part VI (Part 6), Jason has become functionally immortal, which means he does not age with physical injuries and illness that would have killed a normal human would eventually heal and won't truly affect him not even headshots can stop him in his zombie form.
 * Regeneration: Jason after becoming a Revenant Zombie now possesses a unique ability to regenerate any lost and damaged tissue at an accelerated rate. As a result, he can sustain bullet and knife wounds and be essentially unaffected by them. This ability allows him to recover from any fatal injuries that are physically caused to him. So in the logical sense, He can only be incapacitated such as being chained to the bottom of Crystal Lake but even still he will be almost and always be restored to "perfect" health, his constantly changing state of deformity can be attributed to his constant regeneration. This regeneration, however, is not perfect, as Jason still possesses an undead, desiccated appearance of exposed bones and deteriorating tissue. Technically being undead, his body is not affected by existing detrimental contaminants. He has complete immunity to all kinds of poison, virus, disease, bacteria, etc. (However, it's not fully known how he can still be sedated as proven when Freddy had possessed Freeburg was able to render him unconscious with two syringes, and at some point, in the future, Jason was kept imprisoned via a combination of chained restraints and some unknown sedative substance administered to him by an I.V.)

Hessian Axe (Death)
A steel battle axe, this tool is the iconic weapon of the Horseman. One side is a steel axe head designed for chopping, while the other is a smaller one better suited for mroe accurate but less damaging chops. Also, the blade will heat up whenever it comes in contact with flesh, as to cauterize the wounds it inflicts and prevent blood from spilling onto the battlefield.

Machete(Jason)
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.

Experience:
Jason: Jason has decades of experience around Crystal Lake, slaughterigng teenagers who decide to venture into his domain. He also has limited experience in space in 2499 where he also went on a killing spree.

Death: Death really suffers here as he hasn't had that much experience in life, and in becoming literally Death only really has been around for a couple of years at this point.

Brutality:
Jason: Jason will stalk, kill, split open, and terrorize anyone that he comes into contact with. He has no qualms with slaughtering many people for no reason other than to go on a killing spree.

Death: Being the literal incarnation of mortality, Death has no problems with killing anyone in his way. But really there is no evidence of him doing anything more than just killing them.

Training:
Jason: Jason has no training whatsoever spending most of his existence in Crystal Lake alone, or killing random teenagers.

Death: Death has limited training from the American Revolution and the Continental Army, but after that, he has no training whatsoever, and after being revived in 2013 he really just went on killing.

Speed:
Jason: Jason isn't the fastest man in the world, as he is ususally seen just walking slowly around until he reaches his target. But he is quite the fast swimmer ironically, with almost no resistance to the water at all.

Death: Death on horseback is quite fast, being able to reach speeds that any normal horse would provide. On foot he is actually quite mobile compared to Jason, being seen runnning  and moving pretty quickly even when he isn't running.

Intelligence:
Jason: Jason is essentially mentally retarded, but has shown that he can display some tactical ability in setting traps, silencing victims to avoid detection, having perfect directional ability in the Lake etc.

Death: Death has shown remarkable intelligence in that he has learned to use modern weaponry quite easily, is very skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and can come up with plans quite easily. But his tactics leave something to be desired as he is usually seen

Voting/Situation
This battle will take Place in Crystal Lake, where Jason will be dragging around one of his newly killed victims. Death strolls in on his horse and just so happens to be looking for the same person Jason killed. This person had information critical to assisting Moloch and his plans for world domination. This is where Death will charge in, beginning the battle.
