Tournament RP (still working on a title. Should have one by the IC :P)

[Daxam]

Full

Story:

Once, every 500 years, there is a tournament. People from all over the world, from all walks of life, gather to compete, wielding extraordinary powers and abilities. They fight in hopes of winning the greatest prize of all: a single wish. The winner of the tournament can wish for anything they want: immortality, wealth, even to bring the dead to life. The only stipulation, of course, is you can't wish for more wishes.

Tournament Rules:

1. Follow the Roleplayer's Creed.
2. There is absolutely NO time manipulation. There is LIMITED healing abilities at the judge’s discretion based on character biography and situation.
3. Any Weapon(s) must be carried into the arena. (You must be able to carry the weapon on your character.) Mechanized characters can carry their initial load out. Summonings of creatures/items is an action available from the second post on.
4. Usage of any questionable abilities or maneuvers are at the discretion of assigned judges. What the judge decides is 100% FINAL. Any dispute or argument afterward is a breaking of the rules.
5. All fighters have 48 hours after the scheduled end date of the match to complete the match. If the match is not completed by this point, the missing combatant(s) will be ejected from the tournament as a forfeiture.
6. Fighters should respect one another at all times. Personal insults will not be tolerated.

Fighters will be given one (1) warning. A second infraction will result in ejection from the tournament. If there is further protest, you will be banned from the next tournament.

Progression
The tournament will progress in the following manner, with no exception granted without permission of the host/judges.

Bracketed Stage:
All fighters will compete in Bracketed stages. The tournament rounds are conducted in a format in which any combatant, may be paired against any other fighter in the tournament. It is a random drawing. This requires a minimum of eight combatants to make two brackets minimum.
If there's a fight in the waiting room, you MUST add that to the system as soon as you're out of your match. You must be active in the IC waiting room as well as in the fights to lend atmosphere to the story surrounding the tournament.

Bracketed Rounds
1. Rounds are scheduled in 21 day intervals. You have 21 days to complete the fight.
2. You have 48 hours before a connection post.
3. You have 48 hours after a match to file for dispute resolution.
4. There MUST be a winner/judgment at each match. A judge will be assigned to the match.
5. Winners will advance and face the winner of the other match in their bracket.

General Combat Guidelines and Absolution:
Combat is to be conducted following T1 Eden era Rules

A grab is counted as an attack and must take two posts.
Exception: A grab may be counted in a single post if contact is preexisting.

A lock must be preceded by a grab, and consist of one extra post.

Objects (arms, legs, weapons) break after 2 successive attacks to the same object, or2 consecutive posts through which pressure is applied (to a joint or otherwise) with a lock.

Ranged attacks must take an extra post to close distance with the projectile. (Arrows, Bullets, Fireballs...) This means they do not connect in the post they are written in.

(Thanks to Skallagrim for the rules)

My CS:

Name: Isaac Ryder
Age:18
Appearance:

Powers: Iron and Carbon manipulation. Allows Isaac to manipulate the properties of iron and carbon, such as fusing the two into steel, changing the temperature of iron, and modifying the atomic structure of carbon to alter it’s strength.
Weaknesses: The more complex an item he creates is, the longer it takes for him to craft, which is why he sticks to the simplest of weapons: blades and his arrows.
Weapons: Proficient with a wide variety of weapons, he tends to use twin arrows, usually as close-combat weapons.
Bio: Not much is known about Isaac, not even by himself. He woke up one day in the wilderness with no memories of his past. Since then, unsure if it has been happening since before he woke up or not, he has had moments where he blacks out and another personality takes over…
Personality (Isaac): Quiet, calm, care-free, kind, slow to anger.
Personality (Vincent): Loud, irritable, blood-thirsty, ruthless, womanizer. Tends to appear when Isaac is either in danger or angry.
Wish: To regain his memories.

[The Dark Man]

Nice sheets, Daxam and HiddenBeauty. I'm looking forward to this.

Here is mine- hope everything is in order.

Spoiler

Name: He cannot remember his own name, though he has adopted the name “Rydek” as of late

Age: Roughly three or four thousand years old

Powers: Rydek is a Wereboar, able to shape-shift into a gargantuan beast that resembles a bipedal boar-like creature. In his lycanthropic form, Rydek possesses strength beyond any normal human’s wildest dreams, and can run and react faster than most people think possible. His razor sharp tusks and talons can shred the most rudimentary armor, though can be stopped by superior metals. While this power is hellishly effective in the thick of battle, it takes a while for Rydek to morph into the Wereboar, and the Wereboar, as of late, has become more and more predominant, the blood of beast vying for dominance over his human blood.

Appearance: Standing well over six feet tall with cascading locks of snow white hair, Rydek fits most descriptions of warriors of the frozen north. While a flowing beard does not adorn his chin, he does stand tall and proud. (Looks somewhat like this).

Equipment: Rydek often wears a mismatched set of thick boiled leather armor which protects him from most projectiles and slashing attacks, though his fighting style is one of finesse, and he aims to not get hit at all. He carries a short spear with a steal tip, as well as a broadsword of tempered steel into combat. Despite his many millennium of practice with these weapons, he is rusty at best, though deadly non-the-less. In addition to his weapons and armor, Rydek carries with him a large leather-bound volume filled with paragraphs, notes, and sketches, pertaining to his past life, fighting styles, history, mythology, and alchemical recipes.

Bio: Rydek cannot completely remember his origins, though he does recall that he was once a warrior sent on a quest by his King, whose name cannot be remembered either. In some memories, Rydek recalls traveling with an army, while in others, he is only with a small band of merry-men. He also reminisces promising someone he would return home. Regardless, Rydek traveled from home into battle, and was inflicted with lycanthropy while battling a vicious Wereboar in a seldom-traveled forest. The Wereboar escaped, into the realm of a Dark God, and Rydek was wracked with rage and grief, forever an outcast and mutant to his people. The Dark God came to Rydek as he wept in anger, and offered him the chance to hunt down and kill the one who ruined his life. The warrior of the north agreed, and the Dark God brought Rydek into his realm where he hunted the offended creature, and slew it in a fierce confrontation. Holding the beast’s head in his hands, Rydek demanded to be returned to his world. Laughing, the Dark God denied him, saying that he was to forever persist in his realm. Years passed, first ten, then a hundred, then a thousand. Rydek’s body remained un-aged, though his mind began to slowly deteriorate under the stress of both time and insanity, and the warrior of the north is just a bit “cracked” till this day. Several thousand years after being captured, Rydek escaped the realm of the Dark God, returning to a very different world. Time had eroded his memories almost completely, and he has ever since been seeking not only a way to regain them, but to seek revenge on the Dark God who ruined his life.

Personality: Quiet and stoic, it is hard to notice Rydek in a crowded room, for he seldom speaks, and when he does, his words rarely come out the way he wants them too. Being so inept at social interaction, Rydek prefers to fight instead of talk. He has many of the indications of being a psychopath- finding enjoyment in torturing animals to death, despising human interaction, and trusting absolutely no one. Above all, however, Rydek is determined. In addition, the Northman is also quite forgetful, sometimes forgetting the small tasks which he is preforming, or sometimes even where he is at.

Wish: To cast down the curse of Lycanthropy and regain his memories of his past life.

[Tomaru]

Name: Taro Takashi

Age: 22

Appearance:

Powers: Inner Strength – An ability that requires years of physical training and meditation to master. It is a conversion of one’s physical strength into an external force. Taro has mastered three forms of inner strength. Hasaiken, the crushing blow, augments a strike with devastating force. Ikiteha, the living blade, makes his body like a sword that can cut through an onslaught of blunt force. Gekitaisuru, the repulsion, is a sudden exertion of force in all directions around his body.

Affinity for Fire – As a kitsune, Taro has a natural affinity to fire. This makes him resistant to the element, and also allows him to augment his martial arts with heat. With enough strikes, he can even make metal hot and soft.

Weaknesses: Inner Strength is a taxing ability that cannot be used in rapid succession. Also, these techniques focus his strength into condensed forms, which renders other parts of his body vulnerable. If an enemy figures out a way to break his techniques, Taro could take serious damage.

Weapons: Ayajuro, a katana blessed by the fox deity Ayako. It is more resilient against elements and erosion than plain steel, and those souls of those it cuts down shall find eternal rest as long as there is a desire for peace in their hearts. He also has a satchel with two smoke, sand, and sticky bombs in it.

Bio: Taru is a kitsune and a member of the prestigious Takashi family. The Takashi family is known for its close relation to the fox deity, Ayako, and teaches Ayako-ryu, a martial art and philosophy derived from the deity’s teachings. Taro is the nephew of the head of the Takashi family, so although he has his family’s reputation to maintain, he has few actual responsibilities.

Taro fell in love with the martial arts at a young age, enjoying nothing more than pushing his mind, body, and heart to their limits. He was one of the lucky few to receive direct training from Ayako himself, where he learned the fundamentals of Inner Strength. Eventually, Ayako sent him on a pilgrimage explore the world and learn of the many different ways of thinking that exist, as well as to put his martial arts skills to the test. When Taro learned that a once-every-500-years tournament was happening in his lifetime, he couldn’t resist the opportunity.

Personality: Calm and easy-going. Taro makes friends easily and angers very slowly. He loves conversation, especially about philosophy.

Wish: Taro is generally happy with his life and currently has no idea what to wish for. He considers the competition in the tournament his reward.

Etc: He likes spicy food.

Looking good so far, everyone ^^ Looking forward to interacting with your characters

[The Dark Man]

I like the mix of western and anime characters. It will sure be an interesting battle...

[Daxam]

I agree ^^

I'll give it another day or two for people to put their CS's up and then I'll get the IC up and running. If we have a couple spots, I'll bump the Interest Check

[Tomaru]

Woo! Can't wait to get this started.

[Daxam]
