Inferi, George.

Since your characters are figures from the distant past, I figured you'd like to hear about the Sudovian battle tradition called Privati Dvikova . It goes like this: When two enemies of even skill level meet up in a space that is too constrictive, or too populated by idiots, One or both warriors can request to carry out this tradition, although the other warrior has to accept the duel as well.

It's similar to the one-on-one honorable duel. The difference is that both parties can use whatever tools at their disposal to bring down their foe. When Privati Dvikova is announced by one party. By tradition, all idiots, except the two fighters leave the area, allowing ample space to move. Privati Dvikova can be fought as a duel of honor, a duel of blood, or a duel of superiority.

Duels of honor, are pretty straightforward: Someone has slighted somebody's honor and is challenged to a duel. They are never a duel to the death, but inadvertently, fighters have died in duels of honor centuries past.

Duels of blood, are the real deal. They used to be used as capital punishment in Sudovia. The gist is that someone has offended somebody so badly that a duel of honor wouldn't be sufficient. Duels of blood are always to the death.

Duels of Superiority are literally just duels to prove who is better at a certain activity, or in some cases, to settle who is the better mate for a disputed woman. They were typically done by Sudovian nobility to pass the time, or settle disputes. They were done with wooden weapons, not sharpened blades.


If you want, you can implement this into your rping sessions while you two are together. =)

As a royal, Lia would have heard of the tradition, and as a knight of Sudovia, Hadrian would be intimately familiar with the concept. Social rank mattered not in Privati Dvikova, A regular soldier could have challenged a high ranking noble to that kind of duel. Obviously that challenge would have stopped with the king, but anyone below him could have been challenged. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy! =)

Personally, I'm gonna say that Lia doesn't know about it unless someone tried to teach her about it later, which I really doubt. She was only 3 when everything went to shit, and she wouldn't have researched anything like that on her own during her unlife.

Sorry if I seem incredibly contradictory; that's not my intention.

Hadrian would certainly be aware of such a thing, and it could come into play later - but this is certainly not a situation where he'd call for it. Not least of all because he has immense doubt any vampires would go along with it in the first place. I am Inferi.

I never imagined a bio having a long backstory correlating to a RP's history, I never thought of that, it is peculiar, it could make really good plot development and storytelling!

Anyways, I spent almost six hours on the highway today for jack diddly squat. Quite tired, can't post tonight. Will try to post tomorrow. Hopefully, next time my life finally gets rolling, I won't fall on my face again XD

Thought about it further. Would Hadrian challenge a woman to whom he was sworn to protect to Privati Dvikovia knowingly? The answer would not be black and white. Unknowingly? Maybe. Knowingly? That is a choice that would be extremely difficult for me to answer.

While it could come into play later, I agree with your assessment George.

I leap before I look; perhaps I should learn to look before I leap.

I can't RP today. I went out for some chainsawing, when I got back home, my back started hurting. My lower spine is stiff and sore, painful enough to be constant and hinder my walking. Any movement, or staying still, is rather painful. Not sure how I hurt my back, the chainsawing I did was only like ten minutes :/

Hmmm. Demither seems to be retconning. He like completely ignored my post I made for him. Sheeeesh!

Sorry, Demither, I'm going to need to ask for some edits.

For starters, you completely ignored the fact that I killed the undead birdman off. I'm not sure if I did something you didn't like, or what, but come on.

Secondly, I gave you 4 options of what you could do with those undead. You could go for Vyras, Alexandre, the other drugal, or the undead siege crews. I thought that post out pretty well, only for you to ignore the entire thing.

These are some rather simple fixes, but yeah. You'd only be wasting another hour or two by correcting them. =)

Sorry honey, I may be lenient, but I can't really ignore this.
