Because some of us, who apparently like to really rp, prefer weaving a story and fighting at the same time, rather than just swinging blades and pulling triggers...

Think of it this way, do you want to imagine two bland stick figures fighting on a plain white background, or see two warriors dueling under the full moon?...

Again, it's not related to the story. I can perfectly understand adding in a ton of extra detail while you're actually doing something related to the story. (Something I'm guilty of overdoing... >_<) But why add that much extra detail to such a simple attack?

Do you want to focus on the fact that you're attacking this guy, or do you want to focus on every other possible thing instead?

When you read a thread of two people sparring BG, do you want to feel like your reading a bunch of text, or a book?

Neither, I want to feel like two people are sparring. I have plenty of books, I'll read them if I want to feel like I'm reading.

Perhaps. Or maybe I just prefer to keep things simple and idiotproof.

Hmm... we need some kind of shrugging smiley...

Name, age, a short bio, weapons, etc.
Basic things such as that, and possibly a pic.

Here's some basic stuff:

Name
Age
Species/Race
Weaponry
Abilities
Bio

Let each person decide whatever else they want to put in there.

It's really more of a style difference. Let's take how easily one can elaborate upon five simple words.

Failure:
*slashes at you with sword*

Below Average:
He twisted his arm and slashed down at her with the sword.

Average:
Pointing his sword at her, he feinted with a quick jab, taking a turning step forward at the extent of his feint to slash down to his right across her body.

Above Average:
All warfare is based on deception. Holding his katana firmly, the warrior advanced upon his rival, carefully gauging her reaction. Suddenly, he lunged forward in a feint with the blade, stomping his foot hard against the ground. As the strike was about to reach her, his rear leg moved arund and to the side, changing his stab into a quick slash at her midsection.

Excellent:

Let your rapidity be that of the wind, your compactness that of the forest.
The blademaster fully remembered the lessons he had learned at the stick of his master. He would show the old man that he had learned his lessons well.

In raiding and plundering be like fire, in immovability like a mountain.
With a grin barely visible on his face in the dim light of the waning moon, the warrior gripped his sword, raising his arm to point the blade at his opponent. The red tassel at the end of the blade stirred slightly as a cool, light breeze crossed the palace courtyard.

Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.
Throwing his right leg forward as the base for his attack, he pushed off the ground in what would appear to be a lunge. As the blade would approach into her defenses, he would spin to bring his left leg around, turning his feinted jab into a quick, devastating strike at her lower abdominal.
