Now, to list the stats:

Surge:

Powers:
-Electricity Absorption: A passive ability, Surge constantly absorbs electricity from all sources around her, including static in the air. The amount she absorbs is controlled by her gauntlets.
-Electrical Discharge: Surge releases built up electricity within her body, the strength of which she controls with her gauntlets. The maximum strength of these discharges hasn't been determined, but are considerably powerful.
-Super Speed [Electrical Based]: Surge, using the electricity in her body, can increase her speed (and stamina) to extraordinary heights. An example is her running from New York to Colorado in a single afternoon.

Abilities:
-Hand to Hand Training: Was under Wolverine's tutelage for a time.

Weaknesses:
-Must regulate her electricity absorption or else she'll experience shifts to personality, hyperactivity, loss of control over her discharges, and her body's natural functions can be disrupted.
-Gauntlets regulate electrical input and output, and without, puts Surge into a disadvantageous position.

Personality:
Forward, strong-minded, willful. She's a feminist, rebels against authority, and cares deeply for her comrades. She's a bit of an emotional fighter, and has the power to back it up.

Juniper Lee:

*Powers:
-Superhuman Strength: Can live just above two tons. Some feats of strength she's displayed includes punching through 200 ft of concrete and lifting a monster weighing 3,716 lbs with ease.
-Superhuman Speed: Able to run at speeds that exceed that of a professional athlete.
-Superhuman Stamina: Her body experiences fatigue to a much lesser extent than an athlete.
-Superhuman Durability: Her body's musculature is considerably harder and more resilient than a normal human's, allowing her to resist powerful impacts, falls, temperatures, and certain energy blasts.
-Superhuman Agility: Her agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.
-Superhuman Reflexes: Her reaction time and reflex are similarly heightened the same as her other abilities.

*Though she has some magic-related abilities, they will not be listed for the reasons that they're of no use or relevance in regards to this situation.

Abilities:
-Combat Efficiency: Due to her role as Te Xuan Ze, Juniper has been in combat with powerful beings multiple times. Despite having no formal training, she's grown into an adept warrior in a short time (she is 11 years old, and has been Te Xuan Ze for less than a year).
-Weapon Proficiency: She is skilled in the use of many weapons, including swords, mallets, and staffs.

Weaknesses:
-Unable to leave her hometown
-Has no "true" supernatural abilities, aside from having a highly above average body.
-Her magic-based abilities allow her to manipulate magic form artifacts or absorbed from other sources. As they aren't inherent, they won't be used in the battle, as it would require special privileges.

Personality:
Despite being the protector of the magical world, she's pretty much a normal girl who enjoys normal activities. She's got no-nonsense attitude when it comes to dealing with anything out of the normal, however, and is a tactical fighter.

Battle Location and Conditions:
Due to restrictions on Juniper Lee, the battle will take place in the center of her hometown, Orchid Bay City. This does not restrict the battle to only this location, this is simply where it initially begins. This does not have to be a battle to the death, it can be a battle to yield.

I'd say that Juniper is considerably slower than Surge when Surge is enhancing her own speed. The distance from New York to Colorado is 1,673 miles, and that's not including any potential terrain complications. Reaching that point in a single afternoon means that she traveled about 1,700 miles in around... 4-8 hours? Depends on the exact time "an afternoon" dictates, but that means her speed is 212.5 - 425 mph, with high acceleration. Juniper Lee's own super speed exceeds human athletes, but the top human athlete speed is about 45 mph. There's a clear difference in speed superiority.

Also, take into consideration that Surge has her discharges, giving her range as well as an effective physical counter.

Added in the poll options as well.

Well, she does passively stack static charges on her... So she might've charged enough to fight Juniper.

And Juniper has superhuman stamina...


I don't know. I'd say it's a fair fight with Surge having a tiny percentage in upper hand. I'll try reading the wiki more so I can vote later :V

Yes someone actually remembers Juniper Lee. That show was bomb.
Surge wins easily though, because so far Juniper is just a kid who, like you said, is the top physically at everything in a freakish manner, but not exactly as "super" as surge is. I'd imagine a battle between the both would have some resistance from juniper, but ultimately surge would be able to fry her.
HOWEVER, she's only been Te Xuan Ze for less than a year and is only 11, so I'd imagine she would grow much more powerful with age, at which point I don't know how powerful she might be.

If Juniper lands a single punch, Surge dies, yes? The question is whether she can land that punch, or if Surge can stay away from her reach and blast her with electricity till she falls.

What are the circumstances of the battle? Open arena? Urban warfare?

Due to Juniper Lee's locational restrictions, she'll be required to remain in her hometown at all times. This does give a bit of a tactical advantage to Surge, as she can exit the boundaries of the town and be outside of Juniper Lee's actual "attack" range, giving her the range advantage. This doesn't mean Juniper Lee is unable to throw things at her, but her main form of combat will be heavily restricted. This is of course subjective, but entirely plausible.

I'll add locations to the OP of both polls, and future ones.

Do they both start the fight with a functional knowledge of each other's powers / limitations?

No, there is no prior knowledge to the other's abilities. This battle is entirely spontaneous, like a random encounter from the original FF games.

But they are both willing to battle each other? Because there is no way Surge is going to blast a child with electric blasts unless she KNOWS shes supposed to take her out.

Depending on when exactly we place Surge. Having her Power Gauntlets, we can say this is when she went to the Academy, but depending on the mark, it could still be pre-training. It also means she's still liable to discharge as the earlier models weren't nearly as useful/powerful as the latest ones she possesses, meaning that an accidental discharge could lead to her being mistaken as a Magical Being, which Juniper Lee fights a majority of the time to keep out of the public eye. With Surge being the type who doesn't back down, it isn't likely that a spark of violence could be so easily resolved by words, especially if her electricity levels are already high enough for a discharge meaning her head's already swimming.

This is all if motivation is honestly needed for battle, of course.

This is getting too complicated for its own good. Just give us a basic ruling. Are all the characters in your fights looking to beat each other or not?

Regardless of whether Surge's head is spinning, Surge is not going to attack a young Asian girl child with budding powers (MUCH like herself) unless you are ruling that for the purpose of the fight, she will do it.

For the purposes of the fight, yes, they're looking to beat each other up, and no, there's no prior knowledge of the other's abilities.

Ok then Surge stays away and keep blasting Juniper. Thats her usual tactic, anyway.

I think what we can take a general rule for these polls is to set the character's feelings towards beating the other and morality aside, and look at their powers only.
