The Contestants (Recruitment)

[Artifex Felicis]

I didn't notice that thing about how Varamakkali was the only one you didn't need to keep the the same style. Ah well.

Still, I am interested in this, though not quite yet. More so I'm throwing my hat in if someone wants a partner, Leon's availible.

[Amaril Torrun]

Well, I guess I could do anything, its just Muki seems more likely for Amaril to participate in.

[Reiko]

no worries, there's probably someone else who'll take that style.

Sorry I just don't think Ki would work well with a hard form since her swords fill the role too well.

[Ziggy]

Pankration is definately my cup of tea. thats like, already Ziggy's style.








So who wants to be paired up with this kid?

[Ataraxis]

Varmakkalai sounds interesting, but I'd like to know if the things they learn can be applied to non-humanoid opponents. I'm guessing no, though. If yes, however, I'd really like to take on that Kasta girl. XD

Though Bandesh and Fari Gadka sound interesting too.

[The Valkyrie]

Varmakkalai could, at higher levels (not novice in other words), be used against non-humanoid opponents. If a creature has soft tissue and a nervous system, then pressure points would definitely be a weapon to use on them. So, if you beat this champion, became apprenticed, and advanced within this technique, you could definitely learn to use it against other creatures. Just be reasonable with it if you do.

[Ataraxis]

Ob the subject of Varmakkalai: do we need to NPC Kasta using some real-world martial art that uses pressure points? Like Dim Mak? Or are we allowed to have her strike points that aren't actually known to do a certain effect, but somehow paralyzes the person/blocks the flow of energy in their body?

[The Archer]

Hey, Zigster, you and me, man, let's do this.

[The Valkyrie]

Actually Varmakkalai is a real martial art practiced in India but you can do it however works most easily for you- I'm not too worried about the particulars.

[Ataraxis]

Thanks for the details, Val!

Bleh, I can't believe I didn't think of checking that out beforehand! Same thing goes for Pankration, Fari Gadka, Bandesh... Heck, all of them are real, most coming from the martial traditions of Bharathavarsha. This is going to be really helpful, and I'll probably go to sleep a little smarter tonight. Maybe.

So, did anyone want a partner for Varmakkalai? Lillian's up for it.
