Just gonna start writing a comic idea. "The Fighting Dreamers" why not. Feel free to add/change or whatever you like. It'll take place in the normal world, in a city called Eden of an unspecified location. I'm really just setting the mood, not actually writing for the comic. That would require choosing a starting point and what to make backstory and stuff, but this might give us a plot to work from.
Two figures stand in a field facing off against each other. One is Interitus, a huge man wearing a slightly odd looking set of Roman armor on top of normal street clothes. It is black as the night with little decoration. It seems strong and heavy, yet the man who wears it moves as free as though he were wearing cloth. He is immense and intimidating, his face hidden behind the guard on his helmet. He wields a gladius and a round shield. He stands locked in a stare with his opponent who seems ill-prepared for the coming battle. Eikou is almost as large a man as Interitus, yet without any armor on, he seems far less intimidating. He is dressed in simple torn black jeans and a sweater slightly too large for him that blows in the wind. On one hand he has a light gauntlet, causing one to wonder if it could really stop a blow from Interitus's sword.
The two stare for minutes on end, poised to strike yet unmoving, analyzing one another. In a flash, Interitus makes his move and he is upon Eikou. The sword comes down with crushing force, and though Eikou moves to dodge, it looks to be a quick battle. Then, with a flash of dizzying speed, Eikou has dodged the blow and is moving in to grab Interitus. The attack isn't over though, and the sword comes back again. Eikou's surprise is obvious, and he barely manages to use his gauntlet to divert the blow, sending it whistling over his head. He reaches down and pulls Interitus's leg out from under him, and then jumps and rolls forward to dodge his next strike. As Interitus rises again, Eikou moves in and takes hold of his sword. He moves to disarm his foe, yet is forced to back off after a crushing blow from a heavy metal shield is landed on his head. Interitus lunges in again, and Eikou once again takes hold of his sword, this time using the momentum to pull Interitus back into a throw, causing him to land with a thud on the ground. Interitus reaches out and takes Eikou's wrist in return. The two roll around, struggling. Rising to their feet, Interitus manages to get his arm around Eikou's throat while Eikou holds the sword at bay. He can feel the blade drawing nearer as his body loses strength, longing for oxygen. Gasping words escape Eikou's lips, "Level two." In a flash, he is free, and a loud metal *thwang* rings out. Interitus is airborn for a few feet flying backwards away from the fight. He manages to land on his feet and rights himself. "durn it Eikou! I thought we agreed not to use our abilities." Eikou laughs loudly. At his feet, the earth is dug into a crater where he had pressed into the ground for the force of his punch. "You had obviously won. Calm down."
Demaetri, a man with dark skin, black hair, and deep absorbing eyes, walked over from the edge of the field wearing normal street clothing and a long, flowing jacket. Next to him was Soken, a shorter man with spiky hair and a fiery disposition. He seemed to bounce anywhere he went. Demaetri said, "Eikou, did you just actually admit defeat?" Soken laughed loudly, "That was depressingly short." Eikou frowned, "I didn't lose, I just lost control." He stuck his tongue out and pulled an eyelid down at Demaetri. Galen, a beautiful woman in a shining white outfit with sharp green eyes followed behind them. "I think you did great Eikou." A large smirk took over Eikou's face. Jean, a black garbed figure who seemed to come out of nowhere spoke, "I think you're a dirty cheater." Eikou gave him a strong punch in the shoulder. Interitus finally removed his helmet to reveal shining blond hair and soft blue eyes. "It doesn't really matter. Bottom line is, you cheated, I won. Bow before your master." Eikou put on a big fake frown, "Fine, everyone be against me." They all laughed together for a moment.
