Warrior Conflict: Boba Fett versus Yautja, the Narrative.

Author's Note:  Besides the end result, this narrative is independent of the assessment I've done of both warriors.  I've done this to get a better story.  So I don't want to hear anything about how I've "nerfed" one side or the other - just take it for what it is:  entertainment!  The first part is here, the second part - and the "By the Numbers" segment will be up this Sunday.  I hope you enjoy the story!

“I told you that I had a bad feeling about this!” Tobias Orain shouted, “All systems have failed.”

Boba Fett leaned over his shoulder, eyes darting at the various blank screens.  “How do you mean, ‘failed’?”

“They’re dead.  Deader than dead.  It’s like our fuel cells just disappeared – there’s no juice going to anything.”  He glanced at Boba.  “Including life support.”

Warrior Bio: Yautja, the Predator.

Author's Note:  First, I'd like to wish everyone reading this a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!  As a sort of Christmas present of my own, here is the bio for the Yautja - or Predators.  It should be noted that there are many blank spots in their history, so I'm going to have to go off of some conjecture and educated guesswork in order to get a complete assessment of them.  Fortunately, I don't think that anything I've said here breaks (or even bends) the canon sources, so it's all good!

Warrior Bio: Boba Fett, Mandalore.

Author's Note:  If you weren't aware of this (in which case you should visit the new Table of Contests found HERE!) this next article series will be very different from all previous ones on my blog... because it will be featuring fictional characters from the worlds of science fiction!  That's right:  this match will be Boba Fett, the most famed bounty hunter in the "Star Wars" galaxy, going toe to toe with the Yautja, "the demon who makes trophies of men" and signature figure of the "Predator" franchise.  I'm very excited to explore such new territory with this next step in the project, and hopefully so are you!  Before we get started, I want to outline how this match will be posted... today (18 December) is the debut of the first segment, Boba Fett's Offensive Assessment.  On 20 December his Defensive Assessment will go live.  22 December is his Variables Assessment (which is tweaked - more on that later).  24 December will be the Yautja's Offensive Assessment, 26 the Defensive, 28 the Variables, and the Narrative and "By the Numbers" on the final two days of the month, respectively.  As a final note, the grading for this match will be a little different than what you may be used to seeing from me:  five points have been taken from both Long-Distance Weapons (in the Offensive category) and Head Protection (in the Defensive category) sub-categories, and moved to the Variables category to create the "Prior Opponents" and "Health" sub-categories, each worth five points.  What this means is that the grading scale is now 35 (Offensive) + 35 (Defensive) + 30 (Variables), still equaling 100 possible points.


That out of the way, let's get started!

Table of Contents.

Hello everyone, things have gotten a little hectic here on the blog with all of the different matches (not to mention the large gaps in update time... sorry about that!) so I'm going to attempt to correct that by having a table of contents here to serve as a directory to all of the different Warrior Bios, Conflicts, and any other posts I make.

So let's get started!

Blog Entires

-Warrior Bio:  Roman Legionnaires, circa 36 CE.  The reorganized soldiers of the Roman Empire were known as "Marius' Mules", and this is an apt description of them considering that the Empire was built on their backs and in their blood.  Though they were only one part of the indomitable Roman Legions, they were the means for its success, and when led by competent leaders could become an incredible fighting machine made of men, leather, and steel.

-Warrior Bio:  Zulu Impis, circa 1824 CE.  For thousands of years, South Africa was a peaceful region of farmers and hunters who settled their differences through low-risk, heavily ritualized combat.  That all changed in the Nineteenth Century when Shaka, the new, young King of the Zulu Nation, came to power and revolutionized the way that wars were fought.  His influence spread far and wide throughout the southern half of the continent, igniting a wildfire of violence that has continued even to this day.

~Warrior Conflict:  Roman Legionnaires versus Zulu Impis.  Two empire-builders cross blades in an epic struggle for dominance.  Roman sword-work, Zulu martial arts, thrown javelins, and supreme battlefield mobility result in a battle for the ages as these time-distanced opponents duel to the death.

Warrior Conflict: George Washington versus Napoleon Bonaparte, By the Numbers.

Author's Note:  Here it is!  This thing is finally done, and I can move on to bigger and better matches.  Anyway, before you continue on, there's a few things you should know:  the charts may appear small, but you can enlarge them for easier reading by simply clicking your mouse on them.  Secondly, if you haven't caught up with the Warrior Bios and the Warrior Conflict between them both, then follow the links below.
