I have returned to the Arena and I'm looking for a startup melee match. This will be a melee at realistic power only. That means no super mutants, robots, super saiyans, or wizards. The terms of melee also specify no guns, thrown objects or other projectiles (sand is fine).

I will be using my young gladiator character Lamina Manira. She has lived a traumatic life around "the arena" (wherever that might be within 3 RP realms including this one), and has become quite the prodigy at fighting. While small, Lamina is very fast and quite knowledgeable. It is going to take some serious tact to bring her down.

With that in mind, I am looking for an experienced melee combatant for this bout--preferably one among "the best."

I wouldn't know best but I'm quite skilled with fighting, no matter the style. I can accomadate to any boundaries and work well with them. If you'll accept me I'll say more about my character.

(Sure, we can do battle.)

The young gladiator ascended the stairs to the double-entry to the arena pit. The crowd cheered behind the thick wooden doors, eager for blood to spill. The fickle crowds were beginning to recognize her unique presentation--her small stature, green eyes and shoulder-length brown hair, a small sidelong topknot tied fashionably with a string of beads and garnished by a lucky red feather that bobbed with each casually slow step she took.
For apparel and defense she wore a sleeveless battledress of blackened cotton armor, dark nylons that ran from the hem of her armor's skirt and black leather boots guarded at the toes in metallic steel. A long, nondescript red ribbon hung from her left elbow, trailing in her wake by the fluttering wind.
A single venetian longsword clung to her left hip, sheathed in a leatherbound scabbard, and a single cut-shaped scar flawed her bare right shoulder--the only two indications of combat experience she had to offer in first impression.
