Season 16, Week 1
Tim Rhymeless
(Wild Arms 2) 		 
The gentle summoner from Baskar finally makes his debut in the DL after a long, fifteen-season wait. After spending his preparation week resting repeatedly for an optimal luck score, Tim finds his first foe rather similar to him, both in his mastery of magic and his strangely girlish looks. The two are also similar in power, making this match a worthy challenge for Tim. As bad as Lucius' durability is, the bishop possesses considerable magical power, magical defense, and accuracy, along with superior speed. What Tim lacks in statistical power, however, he makes up for with variety. With his full-healing, uncounterable status attacks, and Force abilities, Tim has a definite shot to withstand his first arena trial.

 Master of light magic and quite possibly the DL's most beautiful man (yes, man, believe it or not), the Bishop Lucius graces the battle-worn arena for the first time this week, no doubt thanking St. Elimine that his initial opponent is a fellow mage. The summoner Tim Rhymeless is completely incapable of exploiting Lucius' glaringly pathetic physical defense and must instead contend with the Bishop's mind-bogglingly high magic resistance. With no real offensive threat from his opponent to worry about, Lucius must only wait patiently for a deadly critical from one of his potent tomes to claim the slow and frail child, advancing the Bishop two weeks closer to becoming a master of Light in another sense entirely.

Throughout hours of slapping and scratching, Lucius was the first to remember they could use magic...the match ended soon after.

Tim Rhymeless: 21
Lucius: 23

When Lucius' first two attacks against the defending Tim each failed to critically hit, he wasn't too worried. Against a healer with no offensive potential, he really had all day. The defending child may have been gaining twice as much FP as usual from those two hits, but there was simply nothing in his Force arsenal of reliable threat to the superior magician. The bishop unconsciously prepared for an offensive move that he knew wasn't coming, waiting for Tim to heal as he knew he had to.

Surprisingly, though, Tim wasn't going for his healing magic. Instead, he closed his eyes, glowed with a gentle green aura, and used his Divide Force, knowing that it would turn Lucius into a class of half the levels and thus demote him to a monk. Were the fight to continue, Tim might still have trouble with a lucky critical, but the child, as he held both hands over his eyes, knew it simply wouldn't come to that.

Surprised as Lucius was that his stats were trashed, this show of competence from Tim was nothing compared to the shock of his bishop's robe vanishing, leaving him standing in the DL arena suddenly stark naked. The feminine monk promptly turned bright red, except for his flowing blond hair, and rushed out of the ring.

On the plus side, at least the confused are finally sure about Lucius' gender.

Tim Rhymeless is not a summoner.
He is a spellcaster.

All of the characters
in Wild ARMs 2 can summon.

But by the rules ...
he couldnt even use a summons attack.

He has a huge list of spells,
with every kind of element,
and even non elemental.

He can communicate with the guardians,
but he is NOT a summoner.
