Hi, Hawkeye. Welcome to my class. Based off your current skillset and what I have seen recently by roleplaying with you, I really do want to first re-iterate what I put in my post with Orga. You need a good muse, especially in battle, or you will give in. For most people, this muse is music. I don't know what your taste is, but, let me show you what I told Orga:

ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH (Libera Me From Hell). While not my PERSONAL favorite fighting music, it certainly gets the job done, and this is perhaps Jeebus' favorite for the most epic of fights. Listening to this song while writing your post tends to give you EPIC FUCK YEAH SPUR OF THE MOMENT type attacks, not strategy-based attacks. Try it out.

All Along The Watchtower (BSG Version)
My own personal favorite for scifi SPACE battles, I.E. ships fighting ships, this song generally gives me a perfect mix between STRATEGY capabilities and HEADSTRONG capabilities, allowing the juices of my mind to flow in a perfect balance. I don't use this song as often for MAGIC battles. This song generally gives me the feeling of uncertainty in a fight, so I often use it when I feel like I'm loosing edge.

Chain by BACK-ON.
I don't care if you like anime or not, THIS SONG IS PERFECT FOR MAGIC-BASED FIGHTS. Magic-based fights require A LOT of typing, and this song generally just makes me type SO MUCH FASTER, and the FASTER I TYPE THE FASTER I IMAGINE MY CHARACTERS ATTACKING, and the FASTER MY CHARACTERS ATTACK THE MORE ATTACKS THEY CAN MANAGE AT A TIME, and the MORE ATTACKS THEY CAN MANAGE AT A TIME THE FASTER THEY CAN WIN. FUCK YES. Plus, the fast pace of this song just energizes you and makes you WANNA FIGHT. LET'S DO IT. YEAHHH. Again, good for magic based fights more than space based fights. Magic based fights require A LOT MORE STRATEGY and a lot more direct action.

I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin.
I listen to this one sometimes when I'm fighting, Hikaru generally listens to it more in fights. It's good, in my opinion, more for strategy, but it keeps the headstrong edge you need in a fight so you don't give in, because I assure you, most battles here are wars of aggression. The enemy tries to wear you down. You can't let that happen. Still, this song's slow enough that it gives you time to think while you type, instead of that last song where your brain has to be moving at like 50 billion miles per hour.

FUCK YEAH PONIES.
Jeebus also recommends you check out Pendulum.

Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold.
Okay, so this isn't always THE BEST song for fighting, but it sometimes works for me. DO NOT TRY TO PLOT WHILE LISTENING TO THIS SONG. This song is good for fights that require NO STRATEGY WHAT-SO-EVER, in my opinion, I.E. fights where your opponent is severely outmatched or certain small space fights. Also good for things like resistance movements, breaking into secure structures and fighting guards, or fighting mass armies.

Headstrong by Trapt.
A must for fighting, this one is used to make your senses increase in a fight. As a result, you pay more attention to the other person or people and what they're post included, and your brain, now alert, is constantly thinking of ways to counter said attacks or better yet, use those attacks to your advantage. Great for strategy-based fights.

Ladies And Gentlemen by Saliva.
I like to play this one at a loud volume. It's pretty slow, which makes it wonderful for strategy, but it's pretty versatile, the amount of raw energy it inspires and it's sudden breaks makes it also wonderful for headstrong fights. Can be used practically anywhere in a fight. Be careful, though, it's slower pace could make you susceptible to giving in.
A few other good songs for fighting...

The point is, often times in battle, it helps to "get pumped" and be energetic. If you're not energetic, you become way too passive in your roleplaying skills. So, find yourself a good muse. Once you do, post here and we will get started.
