5 chapter 5
thawk!"this is what you, the reader can hear. or, at least can imagine hearing this noise.
and you should be hearin-"thud" there it is. the noise of someone falling on the ground.
were did it come from? well the noise you just heard came from someone getting there lights knocked out by another person. not enough details?
well then let me tell you how they look.
the person that got knocked out is a tall buff man, looking to be in his mid 30s. he has black hair and black eyes, with a grey goatee. he is about 6'6 foot tall (198 cm). hes got some muscle on him but quite a bit of it is fat. if rated in the looks department them he would be rated a 3/10, because right now he has 2 missing tooth and a black eye. if your curious about his name, well your not getting one. he has a simple white t-shirt and cargo pants, with no shoes.
now how about the person that knocked him out? well she is a fit woman. she is about 5'10 feet tall(175 cm). she has short blue hair with a bit of green in it. now to say shes fit was a understatement. i mean, she is sporting a six pack for crying out loud! however, her feminine looks still stays. rating in the looks department about a solid 8/10.
(if you are still confused as too how fit she is then just think how fit mikasa is, that's how fit she is) her name is a bit important, or at least her title 'the champ!' is. her name is not something that is quite known in the underground fighting ring, even if she is the champion of it. if your curious to how old she is, well my parents always taught me never to ask a woman for her age.
she is 29 years old. what? in this day and age where a person that looks like there 18 could actually be 15 means that rule doesn't apply here. i mean think about it,if a guy is 20 and actually asked a girl her age and she told him she is 15 then he would not have sex with her at the party. now he is a pedo and in jail for having sex with a minor. simply because he was being a gentleman.
anyways, back to the story. she has a sports bra and yoga pants.
now then, you may be wondering why we are talking about this place, the underground fighting stage. well you see dear reader, our young mc is currently waiting for his turn to face the champ. yes, somehow she is so good that she usually fights 10 'brave' warriors each match. i call them 'brave' but the fact that she can knock someone that looks like twice her size in one punch means that these guys are either suicidal or just suicidal or masochists. because 8 of them are guys with there aura locked, and the other dude that had his aura unlocked only lasted 10 seconds before getting knocked out. a lot better than just 3 seconds but not enough.
anyways, the guy that got knocked out a little while ago is being taken off the stage. and a man came towards our mc and said "your the last one, try and last 10 seconds bud."
now, lets get into our mc perspective.
gray pov
after the guy left I started getting ready to fight the champ. And by ready I mean the bodyguards making sure I don't have any concealed weapons.
I had quickly realized that I am going to have to take off my watch, just when it could be useful luck said "fuck you!" and now I can't even use it! *sigh* oh well hopefully I can make it up with the fact that I now know the champ's first move, a good old left hook to the face, and I know she got some aura moves in her deck.
World building
This one is going over, you guessed it: aura moves! Moves that take aura to put it simply, but that doesn't mean that it's not important! So how about I not only explain how aura moves function in the world of rwby but also the history of how they came to be. Lets start with the history of aura.
When man came into existence, there was a looming threat that could wipe them of the face of remnant before they could leave a mark. The grimm. Creatures of the night, something that doesn't have fear, something you can't reason with, and something that runs on the negative emotion of them. They are the definition of evil, as they murder everything that has negative emotion. At least animal kill other animal for food.
But enough about grimm, lets talk about man, for you see man had stayed even after the rough beginning they had. How? Well there are 3 reasons as too why mankind lasted so long.
1.dust. a crystalized form of the elements. They are not only useful as a weapon against the grimm but a useful form of energy that is still being used to this day. They come in different sizes and energy, as some dust are so pure they could run a city for 5 years! Of course the more pure they are, the more rare they are.
2.intellect. this one is obvious, as mankind has evolved from using simple metal sword to complex weapon changing weapons. Not only that but the intellect of mankind has made everything much more accessible. When in the beginning eating meat everyday sounded difficult now you can eat as much as you want.so long as you have lien.
3. Aura. the thing that helped mankind drive back the grimm, and something that could be used in such a unique amount of ways that it's actually mind blowing. The first man name that has been lost to time had gotten himself in a one on one fight with an alpha Beowulf.
In that time, fighting a Beowulf with 2 people was insane, and they could not imagine fighting a alpha Beowulf alone. But somehow, the man came out victories. He had later explained what had happened to him. For the fact that I am rewriting this a second time imam keep the story short.
The man had fought the beast and had gotten hit with it's claws tearing his clothes and cut his skin. Not to deep neither to shallow. He then had a flashback, of his life. Knowing he was close to death he got up and charged right at it, knowing he was going to die.
But fate had been on his side as he noticed he was coted in some white aura on his body, before it faded away. When he reach close to the Beowulf he swung his sword, and the Beowulf swiped it's claws at him. The Beowulf and man clashed and the Beowulf was supposed to be able to overpower the man.
Key word being try in that sentence, as the Beowulf could not send the man flying, as it had done to others before. To keep it short, the man killed the Beowulf, told other people what happened.
Nobody believed him until there was a grimm attack and he had killed 6 of them singlehandedly.
From then on more and more people emerged with there aura unlocked. Until they had figured out how too unlock aura without getting a brush of death. This is the birth of the huntsman.(there was about a good 400 words in this story till my laptop ran out of battery and shut down, not saving it. So I gave up on redoing it and just told you what happened, sorry.)
Now of course I have yet to reach on aura moves. So lets talk about this. You see, about 300 years ago there was a hunter called Zhall Suberfus. Came from no royal family and was a simple commoner. Yet, he became one of the most powerful figure in that time.
How? Well it's simple when you connect the dots really. Because this is the creator of aura moves. He had made 3 simple yet deadly aura moves. Sword slash, Quick flash and finally overcharge. He had dominated every battle and was known as the war hero of haven.
He had lived all the way until his 80th birthday, were he decided to tell the world off how he became so powerful. He had planned to make it a family secret but when his son and grandson decided to become a merchant's he decided that he should tell the whole world.
The idea of aura moves require a few things and follows some rules, so let me tell you what these are.
1.technique:when it comes to aura moves this is needed. Too fully learn a proper movement you have to practice the movement to even activate your aura move. Meaning for the average joe with their aura unlocked then they would have to continuously practice the movement until it becomes muscle memory. This would not be a problem if it didn't use aura.
2. aura:this you can tell from the title, but every aura move consume's aura. the more powerful you want it the more aura it uses, although there is a way to reduce the cost of aura, like perfecting the technique or just having enough raw power.
3.physical ability: your aura technique relies on how strong or fast you are.the more a move is out of your physical ability the more aura it costs. This is arguably the most important as aura moves just increase the power of the user.
if you don't understand, let me give an example. ruby, she specializes in speed, but if her sister taught her a grab move that she can flip anyone over, then she need to have enough strength to flip them over. the aura is to just increase the power of it. proper movement is just to do it correctly and decrease the cost of aura. the most important thing is having enough raw power.
Hopefully this cleared everything about aura moves. Now back to our mc
