I, Andy Peloquin, challenge you, Jay Michael, to a duel to the death! But it is not we who will fight, but our characters… In the black corner, weighing in at 180 pounds, standing a cool 6 feet tall, the Hunter of Voramis! Tale of the Tape:

• Superhuman reflexes, strength, speed--think Captain America, but stronger
• Thousands of years of weapons training
• Body has accelerated healing factor--can survive a sword to the heart (can be killed by drowning, iron weapons, beheading, and suffocation)
• Cannot be killed by anything but iron
• Accursed dagger that heals him when he kills
• No magical abilities whatsoever
• No hesitation to kill if he perceives opponent as a threat/obstacle to his desires--classic anti-hero

In the blood red corner, we have Nicholas "Talon" Watson! Tale of the Tape:

• Vampire created from the Pureblood line of Vampires (only three Vampires removed from the original/source Vampire Lilith)
• Incredible speed, reflexes, and strength
• 400 years trained with Kamikaze, a demon-slaying Katana
• Self-healing properties, can only be killed by beheading or draining enough blood from him that he is unable to heal his wounds.
• Sunlight weakens him but does NOT burst him into flames, has a weakness to silver.
• Will happily slaughter anyone or anything that gets into the way or threatens those he loves.
• Gets stronger as he drinks blood.
• Ability to disappear into shadows or darkness.
• Has fangs and talons (claws protruding from the nails) as natural weapons.

Two enter the ring, only one can leave alive! How would Talon kill the Hunter? Either use his speed and reflexes to take the Hunter's head or, knowing he can be suffocated, drag him into a lake/water and drown him To kill Talon: The Hunter would try to overwhelm him with his inhuman speed, strength, and skill. All he has to do is pierce his skin with Soulhunger, and the dagger will consume his soul. Not even someone with considerable magical abilities can survive Soulhunger's bite--it was created to kill demons. Who would win? The Hunter has never faced anything quite like Talon. His battles with the First and Third of the Bloody Hand have taught him caution in combat against an enemy who can match your speed, skill, and strength. He quickly learns to keep out of reach of Talon's fangs and claws, but faced with the wicked Kamikaze, he has no choice but to use his long sword to keep the vampire away while searching for an opening to bring Soulhunger to bear. Talon, too, finds himself intrigued with this hooded and cloaked assassin who is able to match him blow for blow, step for step. His initial hope of surprising and overwhelming the Hunter's defenses quickly give way to grudging admiration for a worthy foe, and he settles in for a grueling, knock-down, drag-on fight. His sword gives him the reach, but he faces two weapons. He quickly learns to fear the long knife in the Hunter's off-hand. Winner: WAY too close to call. Vampire vs. half-demon assassin, with skills, speed, strength, and cursed weapons to match, only the Mistress' own luck will determine who the winner is.
