This RP battle is me vs me, if I'm eve allowed to do this 
The battle is between 2 of my own characters and will be treated as a normal RPB, but I'll be fighting myself...
The first character is an older version of my already old Arukab. His abilities have been enhanced due to the time that has passed, so he is now capable of more.
For the sake of keeping things interesting and my own laziness, I'm only going to reveal the basic powers of the people I'm using. Postings start soon after I get back from this weekend.
Name – Arukab Tashira Tragide
Title – Silver Phantom (His abilities gave him this title)
Alignment – Lawful neutral
Race – Human
Gender – Male
Age – about 760 but appears to be in mid 50's (see history and weapon)
Appearance – Long black hair down to his mid back, his bangs cover his forehead. his eyes are blood red and he has relatively pale skin however he still maintains that normal peach color. he has no visible scars, however there are many hidden by his clothing attire. H wears a long sleeve full length trench coat made from genuine black leather. under his coat is a silk and cotton made dark gray shirt. he wears loose black denim jeans that need a belt to hold them up. his belt is leather w/ silver rings in it and has a silver belt buckle resembling a tarantula. His footwear is boots that reach just below his knees and have silver plates over the toe and heel parts, effective when kicking opponents. all up those boots are straps that also have silver buckles. on his shoulders he wears very thick, but due to his power not too heavy, spiky silver shoulder plates. he has a pair of white gloves that he always wears despite all his black and as i already specified, he does not carry his gunblade around unless in combat.
Personality – Only speaking when spoken too, Arukab does not attempt to start conversation most of the time, but when spoken to, he responds politely and continues the conversation kindly. He is a good soul trapped in a dark shell, and very proud of who he is. He bows his steel to no man, nation, or legion. A decision Arukab made years ago leads him to defend who he feels need defending, and punishing the ones he dubs as wrong. He does have a good sense of morality to go with that, sided with great mind for justice, punishing bad with bad (eye for an eye style). He would NEVER intentionally hurt someone that he deemed as innocent under any circumstances given.
He keeps his emotions generally stable, and he is a difficult one to anger, because he is a patient man with a high tolerance. His stable mindset makes him a great strategist and a good thinker. He is a very smart one to befriend.
Arukab likes to relax every so often and have some alcohol, but he never drinks enough to get himself drunk.
Arukab has a big thing with children. He will protect a child before a man, and he will never give up to save said child from any harm.
Weapons – Arukab uses a silver gunblade dubbed as the "soul shot". It's gun handle is that of a SIG-sauer P225 Pistol (linked) However it has silver plating on the sides of the handle. The trigger is silver, but the area around it is black. The weapon Gives the user a virtual immortality. Virtual meaning they can die, but they do not age, nor will they die by disease or by poison/venom. For the wielder to die they must die of cuts, blood loss, internal bleeding, high amp shocks, etc. I'm sure my point is proven.
The blade on the gunblade is made of solid silver, as stated above. The blade is approxamately 15 inches in length and 4 inches deceasing from the handle in width. There is an area near the middle of the blade that dips down about 5 inches from the top of it, but retreats back up and continues to narrow.
Metallic Manipulation: His magic involves anything combat related as long as it is made from metal. this is a rare magic that few can master in one lifetime. He can change the weight of any metal things in his possession, making armor lighter etc. etc.. W/ his abilities he can make his gunblade dissapear or vanish, however the weapon may not be in his hands at the time it is in fact in his possession. nothing too flashy.
Abilities: Arukab was gifted by Pegos (see history for more). This allows him to grow silver out of his bones, making silver attachments rip out of his skin. The silver grows into whatever shape he so desires. The silver is created from the spiritual energy that Arukab houses, so there are limits and defects. One defect is that when he makes silver, it uses a 1[silver] : 1.5[energy] ratio. His magic also runs on this energy, but does not use it up, so when he uses his silver, it takes away from the effectiveness of his magic, causing it to be less potent. Also, the most silver he can use before having used up all his energy is enough to cover his entire body in 2 inch diamater 5 inch length spikes, however he rarely uses that much silver. When the silver is created, that spiritual energy is used and cannot be made into more silver, it is set so that energy is used until the silver is to return to the body. When one piece of silver is to return to the body, it turns back into spiritual energy, and is able to be used again instantly, as long as he does not keep it out. When one piece grows out it is not set out permanantly and can retreat it while keeping other pieces of the silver out, and even possible to retreat one piece while growing another, as if the energy is being transferred to a new location. He can constantly make the silver until he has reached the limit. However, there is a side effect to using his energy to make the silver. His ability to control the weight will decrease with the more energy being used, so the more silver he has out, the heavier it gets in relation to mass.
Name: Virgil
Title: N/A
Alignment: Neutral
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Appearence:
Weapons: All he has is a small blade only worthy of being called a knife no longer than 2.5 inches. He also carries several small containers of lighter fluid with him at all times.
Enhanced Vigor: This ability is also passive and always in place. The rate at which Virgil heals is significantly higher than the normal human. The femur which normally takes 12 weeks for a normal human to heal takes Virgil only 36 hours when broken. Ribs which normally take 4 weeks to heal upon fracture take Virgil 12 hours to repair. A papercut that normally takes 2 or 3 days to heal would heal in just 1 to 3 minutes. There is also no such thing as permanent damage to his body, as even his spinal cord will repair itself, but that is a very long process. If he loses a limb, within 4 months said limb has grown back. Wounds that are only skin deep such as burns heal within seconds. This also applies to his stamina, he almost never runs out of his ability to sprint at max. When his muscles tear from exorcise they instantly repair themselves, so in a hard stressed physical battle, he gets physically stronger as he fights.
Assassins leap: This skill is a leap always moving perfectly parallel to the ground and lasts only a quarter of one second. At max speed he could move 37 feet in that fraction of a second. his hands are fee to do as he pleases and he can also change his direction as he pleases.
Retaliation: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Virgil takes this into a whole new meaning. If his skin breaks a surge of electricity bursts from the open wound. This works on a 4 fold scale. This can be exemplified using cut lengths. A 1 inch cut would create a simple surge. A 2 inch cut would surge twice as bad as the one inch cut. A 4 inch cut would surge 8 times as bad as a 1 inch cut. So on so forth. When receiving a chemical burn his body will release a poisonous gas that when inhaled will paralyze the lungs. If electrified his body will splash with mercury that will pool the ground. When one is to burn him with fire, distilled water pours from the burn wound. If impacting him and shaking various internal organs, Virgils body retaliates with a shockwave of electricity and fire that will damage anything within a radius proportional to the damage he takes.
Disruption swap: Given sufficient time of direct contact with another humanoid being, Virgil can swap wounds or transfer ones wounds to another he is also touching. He can choose what wounds to give/recieve as well.
