Hop vs Sets vs Artemis vs Mag Zero

[Free for all! Woo~~ >O]

Jens stood in what felt like some sort of arena, purposely set up for people to combat each other. The soft sand, so similar to the sand in his village, a tan brown, similar to his skin. The sun bounced off it as it had just struck noon and the sun lay overhead. The questionable fact about this place was it was perfectly circular, and after spanning a diameter of 30 meters, it led off to a forest in all directions. Did someone intend to put this here or was it a miracle of nature?

The only thing he knew was the fact that he was on a mission to apprehend a ninja out here, and attack the first person he spotted. A weird request indeed, but he decided not to question it. As long as it didn't result in meaningless murder, which it was bordering to. He looked down to assure his sword was strapped to his waist, sheathed properly. His butt bag was also strapped, and just by feeling he already knew it was full and everything was there. Now all that was left to do was wait. He stood in the middle of the circle patiently.

[Selene Tsukiyami]

Selene stood on the branch of a tree, her back to the edge of what appeared to be a large, circular area of sand. Leaning against its trunk, she checked to make sure she had everything with her. Her supply pouch was attached to her waist, as was her full quiver, and her bow was tied securely to her back. Good. Everything was in order.

She had been sent out here on a hunting mission, to bring back headbands for her village. Her talents made her a good candidate for the mission, so when given the chance, she took it. Scanning the area amidst the daylight, she kept an eye out for potential dangers. If she was out to hunt, surely others had the same idea.

A gentle breeze blew her dull green skirt around a bit, but caused no alarm. It was just a little wind, after all.

Examining this natural battlefield from her perch in the upper boughs of a mighty Vastwood, the Pleasant Thief smiled cattily.

My, my...there were actual people down there. Heh. It figures, good things come to those who wait. And then of course, idiots and the unwary find their purses missing. Ah yes...to charm? Or not? Perhaps shed see how things played out first. But she could not help but purr to herself slightly. She was a genious. This armor fit like a glove. Sure it was a flourescant pink hue, but she liked pink. And it made an IMPRESSION. Back home she had something of a reputation. The "Pink Oni."

Where there was one there was bound to be more. No real point to revealing herself until lshe was sure there would be no more from whom she would...liberate...some funds.

Time to get cozy. Again. She WAS beginning to tire of waiting.

[Steely-Eyed, Compadre-Kun]

He would arrive from the forest to the west in a relaxed stride, whistling a saintly tune and reminiscing on days of yesteryear. Happier days. Days when he didn't have to look over his shoulder every thirty seconds and worry about war. Before he'd become a shinobi. He liked the job, sure, and was quite fond of the training it had given him- training he used regularly to help his people, the farmers and villagers of Kaminari no Kuni. He just wasn't used to the feeling of paranoia that came with it. But he was adamant that he'd get over it soon. When he became stronger.

Trudging through a thick bush, Zel emerged from the forest and into a clearing, to find a young man approximately fifteen meters away. Blonde, muscular but thin nonetheless. A stranger, standing in the middle of an open clearing. Curious. . .

Zel's eyes would dart down to the machete sheathed on his left hip. His senses would pick up on the weight that came from his butt bags behind him- the two frags, the two stings, the three stuns and the one smoke, accompanied beside six well-balanced knives, thirty-two makibishi, and two six-weight bolas.

He would swipe off the emerald green hood of his jacket and look towards the stranger with a smile, dropping his hands lightly beside his black trousers and tapping the heel of his black boot calmly on the ground. He appeared calm, but was ready to move at a moment's notice.

"Yo! You from around here?" A casual remark, stemming from the feeling of anxiety. . . rather than politeness. Something was in the air.

The distant sounds of a man greeting Jens was the only thing he heard other than a gentle breeze, easily swaying his hair off to his right. He turned around, seeing a man in hooded clothing, easily covering many distinguishable parts of the man even though he removed the hood. Even with the distance, he could tell this was a man close to his age. He decided to respond, but with a more serious, interrogative tone. "I'm out on a mission, looking for a ninja out here to take back to the village. I guess that'd be you?" He reactively put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

He took a somewhat prepared stance, ready for an attack. Always blowing things out of proportion, he kept his knees slightly bent, eyes locked on this new man. He detected nobody else yet, not even considering the possibility of another person being present. Either way, he was ready to fight. He gave another confirmation of his weapons. His two and a half foot long sword, along with two knives, 3 fragment grenades, 3 smoke grenades, 30 hira-shuriken, 4 kunai, 80 fake exploding tags, and 3 sting grenades, all well assembled in his bag and placed so that while searching for one he wouldn't accidentally cut himself or set off a grenade, which would be a pain.

[Selene Tsukiyami]

Peering carefully around the trunk of the tree, she spotted two people standing out in the sand circle, not taking cover. Are you two nuts? It wasn't her business to question someone else's stupidity, though. Listening in on their conversation, she got the impression that a fight was about to erupt. Perfect.

Removing the bow from her back and knocking an arrow, she took aim at both of her targets, ready to let loose a hailstorm of shots at them both. Focusing for only a second, she began her barrage, alternating targets and firing with frightening speed. They might catch on to her, but they'd have other things to worry about.

SPOILER: Click to show

Eagle Eye
Rank: "C" [30 TP]
Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary
Effect: Your eyes are keen, your aim true. While other Archer can only strike with precision at very short distances, you can lose arrows at an ant's head at 90 meters away and reasonably expect to hit it.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This technique allows the user to be able to shoot at a target at 90 meters into the distance instead of the normal 30 meters. This increases the user's mobility attack as well as the stationary attack allowing the user to shoot at further distances without worrying too much about close combat.
Limit: Must be an Archer, Must know Flawless Archer

So she's proficient out to 90 meters, not that it matters here...

Lay Down Fire
Rank: "C" [30 TP, 2 opponents]
Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary
Effect: A technique in which the user is capable of using “Cover Fire” while taking aim at a few opponents depending the Class of the user.
Special:
Drawback: Depending on the user’s class level depends on the capabilities the user has within this technique.
Description: A technique where the user is able to aim at opponents while performing the Cover Fire technique. User is able to shoot at that opponent within the full distance proficiency they are able to shoot. When the user learns this technique and is a "D" Class character they are able to aim at 1 opponent. When the user is any class higher than "D" the number of opponents increase by 1. This gives a total of 5 opponents.
Limit: Must be an Archer, Must know Cover Fire

...and will be spamming alternating arrows at Zel and Jens. Six movements (eight minus bow removal and concentrating) times three shots per movement under Lay Down Fire divided by two opponents makes for nine aimed shots at each of you over the next six seconds unless someone tries an interrupt. Good luck.
