Battle Terminology

Summary
This page explains only non-physical parts of a battle, so there will be no magic or weapons, only battle spirits.

Inspiration
Fighting isn't good. We might enjoy it, but we all would rather avoid. But we fight unendingly, because of something. All warrios will fall for something.

External Goal
Warriors fight for a purpose, good or bad. Typical soldiers and merchenaries fall under this category, for working under a usual goal, usually for happiness, such as money, rewards. External goal isn't that important, and one those not fight that much for it. They have very less and slow or no killing intent

Internal Goal
Lone wolves, certain legions, and hunters may fall under this catergory. They fight for themselves, a personal midset. Commonly there are avengers, whom, under the presence of vengeance, kill for their satisfication. People with internal goal fight with more hostility and concentration, unlike those with external goal who will flee at the sense of death. There avengers are merciless to their enemy and my be reckless under some circumstances. These people have high and fast killing intent.

People sometimes are sacrificer, who usually fight to protect others. Again this do fall under internal goal because we care about it more than anything else, People who protects their group will fight with determination, a goal too important to fail.

Instinct
Simple concept. Everyone does this. Basically we fight for survival, either for food, shelter, or one own life. They may or may not have killing intent.

Odds
Other reasons, usually none, fall under this category. Lunatics (Yandere XD), demons, monsters, ghosts, witches will fight and kill for no reason. Some may even do it for entertainment. These people have slow killing intent, but high. They will kill without hesitation, although may play with their enemies.

Killing Intent (K.I.)
This words comes up alot in animes and stuff, not to mention a couple times in the past paragraphs. Killing intent is the wish to kill, which will come up at one point in battle. They call this going berserk, or dead serious. An explanation of this is that you will feel the need to kill at one point in a battle, which may sway you out of your goals. In some cases KI comes from goals itself. Without killing intent one cannot battle seriously, for they will be the first to die. KI is demonstrated in one on one battles. when the fighters will ignore everything and aim for their opponent. Killing intent comes in slow/fast and high/low. People  with high KI have more thirst for death. With less killing intent, one may not kill their opponent or with think twice. KI also depend on its rate of coming up. Impatience or determined-to-kill warriors will have fast KI, which gives them their KI faster than others.
