Jade Curtiss (Tales of the Abyss) |

What's this? A grizzled, impossibly tough old man whose sheer skill has lead him to attempt being a warrior poet? This duelling league certainly has all the most interesting cliches. At any rate, it seems Jade'll just have to beat him in a fair fight. While Haschel has blocked Jade's Lightning Artes, Jade has no shortage of other elements to apply, and is more than capable of holding his own in melee combat should the need arise. Indeed, going a few rounds physically and only using his Arte's to finish the battle may be the best strategy here, preventing Haschel's Destroyer Mace from boosting the old man's attacks. And if that doesn't work for some reason, there's always the old 'poison the opponent's breakfast' trick. But of course, Jade would never do something so underhanded, right? Right? |

What is this utter nonsense? Some young pretender thinks that *he* is the master of thunder with some mumbo jumbo called Lightning Artes? Such insolence has Haschel fired up and ready to teach that Jade pup a lesson, with his true lightning magic at beck and call under his mighty Dragoon form. His blistering speed and flurry of fists, enhanced by the shiny set of brass knuckles or the shiny mace of destruction he's got available, will easily crush through Jade’s fragile defences, reducing him to a crumbling wreck in no time flat and paving the way for Haschel's march onward. Jade’s thunder damage will barely scratch Haschel’s own thunder resistances; but on the other hand, Jade will pay for trying to get in the way of the wisdom of age, and the power and speed of a true Thunder God. |
superaielman It's said that martial artists are wise in their old age, giving them something mentally to make up for what they've lost physically over the year Haschel has long since proven to be an exception to this rule. His actions in the fight did nothing to dispel this, as he merely prepared for a physical contest. When Zidane came trotting in as the ref, Haschel didn't even so much as plan for anything else but an honest fight. Why would a ref w ho he had never battled interfere? That made Zidane's use of Mini especially galling- well, for as long as he was alive, which was the few seconds it took for Jade to cast Meteor Swarm and bring down a mountain of rocks on his tiny head.
