You are training on a desolate peak of barren rock. At 15,000 feet above the sea. You look outward upon the sea of clouds which stretch to every horizon.
Winds whip around you as you deliver what would certainly be fatal blows.
You are wearing:
A: A black leather vest with ample storage and a leopard-print thong.
B: White shirt, black tie, black slacks.
You have a tattoo:
A: "Murder Boy"
B: "Class of 2034 Debate Team"
You throw a few punches. They would surely annihilate buildings if given the chance.
You get a text on your mobile phone.
It is:
A: Your order confirmation for your third pair of Ultra-Black sunglasses.
B: A call from your mother. She loves you. "<3 u mom. Thanks for spawning me. I appreciate and honor you."
You detect a presence. You swing around to face the intrusion.
It is the figure of a woman. Tall, with long hair rippling in the wind of the orient. Her silhouette is gracile and imposing.
Without hesitation, she is upon you. Her kicks pound in to your perfectly shaped cheekbones.
Propelled backward, you regain your composure with a wide-legged stance. You are positively dripping with coolness.
Your first strikes land with precision. You assault the pressure points. The lower neck! The Solarplexus! The Inner Thigh!
Momentarily paralyzed, the mysterious woman's eyes are staring in to you. Through you. Her eyes strike in to you like icicles.
What the!? Her form dissipates. She must have waited for you to blink.
She's fast. But not fast enough!
A: Using only your sense of smell, you deploy a vicious leg sweep.
B: Inhaling the elixir of the cosmos, you center the life-force of the universe around you to create a powerful energy-field.
A
If Affinity == -3 {kick connects. She runs away}
Else {kick misses. She is above you, her robe whips in the wind, revealing the wee bit of thigh just above her stockings. You are unable to react as she devastates your face with a series of fierce downward kicks. It hurts. A LOT.
B
If Affinity == 3 {Deflected by your barrier, she is propelled toward the sun at tremendous speed. Her back arches in a delicate arc. Her arms and legs are limp. Motes of dust are illuminated by the rays of sunlight that pierce the fringes of her silhouette. As she falls back to the Earth, her body swiftly springs back to life. You catch a glimpse of her face as she positions her body like a knife cutting through the air. A coy smile is the last you see of her face before she is swallowed by the clouds below.}
Else {Your force-field forms swiftly, but not swiftly enough. You have trapped yourself within its glowing radiance with your deadly opponent inches from you. Recognizing your plight, she relazes her stance. With hands at her hips, she cranes her neck forward toward you to bring her eyes inches from your own. A sinister smile creeps across her face and the world goes black. You awake. A profound pulsing sensation emanates from your forehead. Feeling with your hand, you detect a large softball sized lump throbbing violently. The sun sets and you return to your exercises.}(set: $affinity = 0)

Perhaps you should try capoeira instead.
