#who carries a Luger P08

[bixels]

I was wondering, could we have more info on Sunset's weaponry? She has an Espada Ropera, Colt 1873, S&W Model 3 (Schofield variant?), a basic bolt rifle that could be a number of things (though it being left-handed limits the options), and as mentioned before a flaming whip (though I don't notice it on her more visible post-redemption design anywhere). But I was wondering, what are the specifics of said weapons? I would assume the 1873 is .44-40 and it also appears to have a short-ish barrel so most likely 4 3/4"? The Schofield is almost certainly chambered in .44 S&W or .45 Schofield if adhering to our world, the barrel (based on the holster) seems to be shorter than the standard 7", but tbh a little longer than the common 5", what was the intended barrel length? Also finish wise, is the Schofield meant to be nickel plated or just really worn down? same for the 1873 but I would assume just worn down for that tbh. Also it's pretty obvious but afaik not stated anywhere, is Sunset fully left-handed?

My friend, you just provided more info than I ever could. I'm not a weapons guy and definitely drew things wrong, and you got basically everything dead on (how???). The only new info I can provide is that her Colt 1873 is specifically a Peacemaker. I referenced Annie Oakley's S&W No. 3 for her ancillary gun (though I see now that I drew the frame/hammer wrong.Probably got mixed up with another reference). Her rifle referenced a Winchester Model 54. Sunset's ambidextrous, something she taught herself while learning magic in Canterlot.

Additionally, AJ carries a Colt M1892 and a Winchester Model 1873. Most of these gun choices are informed by cowboy pop culture, as to keep with the theme of GG20s being a franchise created in the 50s-70s.

Feel free to enlighten on any inaccuracies.

Aldrich Grimm: ARC Medic

Name: Aldrich Grimm

Call-Sign: "Arc"

Age: 45

Nationality: German/Austrian

Hair Color: Black (Just starting to gray)

Eye Color: Amber

Class: Aggressive Recovery Combat (ARC) Medic

Duties: Protect wounded mercenaries and/or bring them back to standard Medics. Distract enemy mercenaries from targeting standard class Medics. Act as a decoy Medic so standard Medics spend less time in Respawn. Assist/Act as a liason between standard class Medics and Engineers and help maintain medical equiment and Respawn faculties. He is faster then a Soldier, but slower then a Medic. His health replenishes half as fast as a Medic and carries a Medipack like a Standard Medic, but no Medigun. Instead, Aldrich will give Medkits and have a passive healing effect (again half as standard Medics) in a six foot radius around him.

Motto: "Hmmmm."

History: Aldrich and his twin brother, Heinrich were born in Vienna, Austria in 1920 to a German WWI veteran, Gunther Grimm, and an Austrian actress, Lorelai Schwartz who had volunteered as a nurse. He was apprenticed by his father as a mechanic until his father died when Aldrich was sixteen.

At the start of the rise of the Nazi party, Aldrich's mum decided it would be best to leave Germany and returned to their native country of Austria. Aldrich and Heinrich were drafted into the army, but Aldrich quickly became a double agent for the French Resistance after he was wounded and nursed back to health by an agent.

After the war, Aldrich spent several years hunting down high level Nazi doctors and SS members who escaped justice. Depending on what they did, he would either kill them or leave them at local law enforcement agencies with evidence of their crimes. However, Aldrich is a firm believer of an eye for an eye.

In 1955, Aldrich was approached for a job with RED and accepted. Aldrich soon stood out as an outstanding recruit, due to his physical prowess  and intelligence and was slated for the Advanced Medic training. He was physically bioengineered during this time to be stronger than the standard Medic, and basically created as an enhanced super soldier to fight for RED.

Personality: Stoic and rather austere, Aldrich is a very serious person. He usually is very monotone in his manner of speaking, but does have a fiery temper, despite his icy demeanor. While he is initially very reserved and keeps people at an arm's length, once he gets to know someone he is extremely protective towards people he feels loyal to.  

Strengths: Loyal, hardworking, serious, intelligent, resourceful.

Appears In: A Certain Unknown Imagine Breaker

Draven Hendricks (ドラブン・ヘンドリックス Dorabun Heddorikkusu?) is a major antagonist in A Certain Unknown Imagine Breaker appearing as the primary antagonist of both the Luminous Path Arc and the Academy City Uprising Arc. He's the founder and leader of the Luminous Path, a terrorist organization that seeks to overthrow the Academy City Board of Directors and helps "re-enlighten" Academy City to make it more prosperous.

Appearance

Hendricks is a fairly tall man with a lean yet well built physique, light colored skin, long blond hair and blue eyes, almost looking that he is of european descent.

His typical attire consists on black pants, shoes and shirt, with a Luminous Path long coat, being black with a red middle strip. With this he also typically wears a military harness, where he holds his weapons such as grenades, flashbombs and a holster where he carries a weapon near-identical to an old school Luger P08 pistol.

Personality

Hendricks is a very calm and collected individual with big ambitions. He's a very intelligent man who often wants to share his knowledge with the rest of Academy City and is very interested and obsessed with the Enlightenment era and seeks to bring about another age of reason. Hendricks believes that Academy City has the potential to become a new global superpower and blames the Board of Directors for holding back the city's potential and keeping the lowest members of the esper power rank system that he calls down. He's also very powerful and charismatic, rallying many to his cause, and is very intelligent and resourceful as he was able to gather countless weapons for the Luminous Path.

While Hendricks seeks to rebuild and reform Academy City, he seeks to do this through violent revolution and is willing to assassinate and kill anyone who opposes the Luminous Path and seeks to have all members of the Board of Directors be killed in order to "enlighten" the city. Hendricks also believes that in order to build a new world, the old one must be destroyed and it must be done by any means necessary, even if that means war.

Background

Hendricks had entered into Academy City at the age of 13 in hopes of learning new knowledge and becoming an esper. He had worked very hard and had followed all the required steps but unfortunately, however, he ended up with no powers and was dubbed a level 0. After going through a depression-like phase, he grew out of it and knew that with the technology in Academy City, he could create a device that could allow level 0s to acquire esper powers. After assembling a team of other level 0s with similar ambitions, they had worked long and hard until they finally created a device that was able to replicate various esper powers and they called it the Replicator. The Replicator was presented at Nagatenjouki Academy with overwhelmingly positive reception but the device was soon take away by the government by orders of the Academy City Board of Directors due to the device being used by corrupt espers. In response, Hendricks and his team had believed that the Board of Directors was out against them and they got even madder when they realized that most of the students attending Academy City had no problems and supported the Replicator leaving them to believe that the city was being held back in terms of potential. In response, Hendricks had managed to gain skills on speech and had acquired vast charisma and this is present during his speeches where after he and his team managed to find and acquire all of the Replicators that they could along with the blueprints and other resources to make them, he had gathered countless Level 0 Espers to rally behind his cause and he eventually founded the Luminous Path as an organization that would lead Academy City to freedom and he hoped to enlighten the world with the city's knowledge.

I’ll be working mostly with these respective egos but because I add a variable of change that takes into account how easy it is to get their hands on different equipment or to poses higher or lower abilities (this is mostly there to counter writers of these stories being inconsistent) I’ll be talking about their other egos too

Winter Soldier

Name: James Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes

Height: 5 ft 9 in

Weight: 260 lbs

Powers and Abilities

Having trained under Steve Rogers (the original Captain America in World War II) and others in the time leading up to World War II, "Bucky" Barnes is a master of hand-to-hand combat and martial arts, as well as being skilled in the use of military weapons such as firearms and grenades. He also used throwing knives on occasion and was a gifted advance scout. His time as the covert Soviet agent known as the Winter Soldier helped to further hone his skills, making him the equal to his predecessor in combat skills and an expert assassin and spy. He is also fluent in many languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Russian, Latin, and Japanese. He can understand French.

Winter Soldier's left arm is a cybernetic prosthetic with superhuman strength and enhanced reaction time. The arm can function when not in contact with Barnes and can discharge an EMP causing electronics to either shut down or become useless. The use of Barnes' EMP is shown when Barnes uses it to shut down a Nick Fury LMD and when he attempts to use it on Iron Man. The arm has a holographic function to disguise it as a flesh and blood arm.

As Captain America, he possesses the original, indestructible, vibranium alloy shield used by his predecessor, as well as a Kevlar/Nomex blend, shock-absorbing costume. He often carries several conventional weapons such as knives, guns - mostly a Colt 1911-A1 .45 and a P08 Luger - and grenades.

Nightwing

Name: Richard John “Dick” Grayson

Height: 5 ft 10 in

Wieght: 175 lbs

Skills, Abilities, and Resources

Dick Grayson is a prodigious natural athlete, expert acrobat, and aerialist possessing a peak level of agility and acrobatic skills. At a very young age, he trained in acrobats as a stage performer with his parents, and he is regarded as the greatest acrobat in the DC Universe. He is the only human on Earth who can do the quadruple somersault (formerly one of three, the other two being his parents). Grayson is trained in several martial arts disciplines and was rigorously trained by his mentor, Batman, in various skills, such as escapology, criminology, fencing, stealth, disguise, and numerous other combat/non-combat disciplines. Dick Grayson is 5' 10" (1.78 m) and 175 lbs (79 kg). He is shown to have natural skill in reading the body motion of others like that of Cassandra Cain and Lady Shiva as shown in the previous continuity. He is able to anticipate and predict one's next action and detect if someone is lying. Like Batman, he also possesses a will strong enough to withstand even telepathic attacks. He is also a master of espionage, his skills even further shown as a spy within the tremendously powerful intelligence organization Spyral.

As Nightwing, Grayson is skilled in various forms of unarmed combat, such as Aikido, Boxing, Capoeira, Eskrima, Hapkido, Jeet Kune Do, Judo, Jujutsu, Karate, Ninjutsu, Sambo, Savate, Shaolin Kung Fu, Taekwondo, and Wing Chun, and is armed with twin Eskrima sticks made from an unbreakable polymer. He also carries several dozen modified batarangs (called wing-dings) along with de-cel jumplines and gas capsules.

Having had the finest education as Bruce Wayne's ward, he is fluent in French, Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, Cantonese, the alien language of Tamaran, conversant in American Sign Language, Italian, Japanese, Persian, and Kikuyu, and his native language is English. He is also a brilliant and experienced strategist with superlative leadership skills, having served as leader to the Titans, the Outsiders, and even the Justice League. Additionally, Dick's interpersonal skills and efforts to remain in contact with other heroes makes him a master at rallying, unifying, and inspiring the superhero community, a skill in which he has surpassed his mentor; when the pre-Flashpoint Superman received the praise of the New 52 Nightwing, Superman noted that, in any reality, it is high praise to be vouched for by Dick Grayson.

Besides his resources as Bruce Wayne's adopted son and heir, Dick's parents also left him a trust fund which Lucius Fox turned into a small fortune. Although it is not comparable to Bruce Wayne's wealth, it has been enough to maintain his Nightwing equipment, purchase the rights to Haly's Circus (saving Dick's former home from financial troubles), and secretly buy his former Blüdhaven apartment building at 1013 Parkthorne Avenue.

WINNER

Before I get into the winner of this fight I’m going to shout out to thevsblog30 for being awesome and coming up with great fight ideas and I highly recommend checking them out and sharing what you think about the fights they post.

Anyway back to the fight at hand, this one is actually pretty close. Winter Soldier almost taking it with a 44.3% chance of winning, damn nearly a tie. However, Nightwing takes it do to 1) access to better technology, in fact I lowered the technology I’d give Nightwing to considerably (I cut he’s access to the bat cave completely) to make the fight more fair, and 2) being a better hand to hand fighter. Nightwing is actually one of the most skilled fighters in the DC Universe, being reliably capable of beating Batman in hand to hand combat (not super reliably but he’s done it multiple times). The Winner is Nightwing!

Coming soon!!! Winter Soldier vs Nightwing!

The Background Of your 1911 Holster

M1911 is often a semi-automatic pistol with .45 ACP caliber, developed by John Browning - American constructor of your weapons at the beginning of your 20th century.
