Rags to riches describes this town perfectly- it's where dreams are crushed and, in some rare cases, made a reality. Do you have what it takes to participate in the 100th Annual Battle City Tournament? Open to the media for the first time since it's construction, the Shambala Palace in it's entirety will be the battlegrounds for this battle of champions. "Hello, I will be your gracious host for this event. Me? I am known as The Khan. I dabble in Duel Monsters and I am being sponsored by Industrial Illusions to host this event. There will be 16 packs distributed throughout the public each with a blank card in it. Whoever receives this card can trade it in at the store they bought it from and redeem it for a plane ticket to my palace to participate in the tournament. The rest of the participants will be personally invited by Industrial Illusions. Don't worry, I know who are and if you are good enough... No matter how 'casual' you may be. Khan, out." *winks* This is a Yugioh RP for Battle City's 100th Anniversary Tournament! As with all RPs, there's more than meets the eye here... But that'll be introduced at a later time. Participants in the tournament have multiple ways to duel. One way to duel is to just do a collab! Decide a winner before the duel or after and just make it a very fun and dramatic duel, each drawing the perfect cards, etc.! Other options, such as live duels or duels initiated online are also available, though I'd prefer to see and record the duels as they take place. Of course, dramatization is highly recommended (just add some dialogue and thoughts I will record it so we can mark times and such.) This tournament is double elimination and there are certain ways to get back in the Winner's bracket that will be revealed through RP. (I am also open to plot twists.) Now let's lay some ground rules: 1) No godmodding. Stacking your deck for plot? Have clearance first! 2) No force actions upon other characters unless agreed upon mutually. 3) All duels that aren't collabs must be viewed by me or my co-GMs (who are yet to be determined) 4) OOC stays apart from IC at all times! 5) Be respectful, please. 6) No spamming or griefing any part of the RP. 7) Any frisky business should be taken to PMs (if necessary) 8) If you are absent let me know ahead of time and we will work around you otherwise you might risk losing your character. 9) Banned cards are NOT all banned- if you want to know if a card is cleared ask me! 10) We are using this as a rulebook. This is pre-ARC-V, so first turn draw is still in play. Here is the As Well as an example one! This is the I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT THE RP!

Yaay, RP is almost completely alive! Do we move our (un)officially accepted characters over to the character bin tab now or post them here to make it pseudo-legit?

Post them here please!

Alrighty then. Name: Fubuki Motorei Gender: Female Age: 16 Appearance: Link Personality: Though she comes off as a bit aloof at times, Fubuki is particularly open when it comes to making new relationships. After her mother's passing, Fubuki shut herself away mentally, only beginning to crawl out of that shell she build up at the age of 12. Because of that, much of her interactions with people are quite formal, which in turn brings a tendency for most people to shy away from her. That doesn't mean, however, that she doesn't show emotions- she's just a bit... Awkward, to put it lightly. While dueling, Fubuki tends to open up to people a bit more, often times smiling as she gets into the midst of a good duel. However, it usually doesn't get much farther than that. She's a good sport about a loss, though, often congratulating the opponent for a hard-fought battle. Bio: When Fubuki was young, her mother died in an accident while travelling overseas for a business venture, leaving her father to care for a 6-year old Fubuki on his own. Due to the company's aid, Fubuki managed to live her school life fairly uneventfully. However, one day a business partner of Fubuki's father came and offered Fubuki and her father an offer: have the girl learn the ins and outs of dueling and enter the upcoming tournament in Battle City in exchange for publicity for a small dueling academy he was trying to start up. Her father was originally against this, as his wife had been in contact with Industrial Illusions up to the day her death occurred, and feared that being involved in dueling would cause undue mental stress to Fubuki. Fubuki, on the other hand, embraced the idea wholeheartedly- such an event would be a nice change of pace from her average life and might even lead to more about her mother. Signature Feature: Her eyes flash light blue the second before she deals a finishing blow to her opponent in a duel. Deck: Favorite Card: Nekroz of Gungnir Other: Wears an emerald necklace all the time- it's a memento of her mother. Also has another deck for more casual play (which will stay hidden for now.) Name: Joseph Marshall Gender: Male Age: 17 Appearance: Link Personality: Joseph loves being the center of attention, often times making flashy moves or adding unneeded motions to his dialogue as he speaks. He's very social in that regard, and it quite at home chatting it up with other people, be they customers at his father's restaurant or other people in school during his free time. However, Joseph knows when to dial back the spotlight and let other people have their share. Can't just have one star in the sky, after all. Bio: Never one to miss a beat, Joseph's always been active with other people. His parents owned a restaurant where many duelists frequented, and Joseph was enraptured by them all. The plays, the comebacks, the combos... Everything seemed to just keep him entranced. When he entered school, he was the one everyone looked to for information on the topic, mainly because he knew everything from overhearing it from the customers. When he entered high school, Joseph ended up becoming a premier duelist for his school's club, often topping tournaments left and right. When a representative of the tournament came to his school, Joseph was elected by his fellow club members to go participate. His parents, too, found it to be a good experience to take on and encouraged him to enter. Signature Feature: His Duel Disk grows brighter the higher his LP is and dimmer the lower it is. Deck: Favorite Card: Constellarknight Diamond Other: Actually has pretty crappy eyesight and requires contacts to see properly.

Since my character was a bit... not well written, here is a re-write: Hope this is a bit better? :P Will probably write a second character soon© Second character:

I just realized now it was 'bot' and not 'boy'. :/ I hate myself, though I was in a hurry xD Anyway, woop woop, we're live...Sorta. --- Name: Miwa Nishimura Gender: Female Age: 16 Appearance: Personality: A quiet and soft-hearted person by nature, Miwa is a wallflower, preferring to observe things and people at a distance rather than face them head on. As such, she finds it hard to communicate with others and is often thought of as anti-social, in reality she just finds it hard to make friends. One thing Miwa hates is her dependency on others, she thinks she cannot accomplish big things by herself and often asks help for others, but her difficulty in communicating makes it a nigh-impossible trial for her. Biography: Born and raised by a luxurious family, Miwa was sheltered as a child. Her parents forbidding her to go outside, saying it was a "dangerous place" whenever she asked them or whenever she tried to go out. Even education for her was done in the confines of their mansion, a place that she grew to hate over the years, she would look on with envy as the children outside would run around and play things such as tag and hide-and go-seek, it was one of the many things that money could not afford that Miwa wanted. One day when she was 11, the family of a longtime friend of her mother came to visit and they had brought their son who was around the same age as her. He had with him two decks to play with, he was expecting a son to play with but ended up playing with Miwa, a choice that both he and the girl did not regret. They played for hours on end, with the boy teaching her the basics of the game and even giving her the deck they used in their first duel as a gift. As the years passed and they grew older, so did their expertise in the game. The boy would constantly visit her on a biweekly basis and see if she was getting better or had picked up a card or two. On a particular day he said that he had a special card to give her, provided she win in their next duel, she accepted and through a teeth-gritting struggle, Miwa managed to defeat him and claim this so-called "special card". He had given her the card "Madolche Puddingcess" when she asked why, the boy scratched the back of his hair and said that the card reminded him of Miwa. She blushed profusely and gingerly thanked him. After an awkward silence, he laughed and said that she had gotten stronger ever since they fought as kids and he had told her there was to be an upcoming tournament, the boy asked for her to join. At first she declined, saying that her skills are far from tournament worthy and that there would be too many stronger duelists that would pummel her in seconds, but after some words of encouragement, she agreed. The boy gave a big grin and motioned his pinky to the girl and said to her "Promise me that you'll use her good, okay?" Miwa nodded and intertwined her pinky to his, thanking him for the company he's brought her. Deck: Favorite Card: Madolche Puddingcess Other: She secretly has a crush on the boy whom taught her how to duel. --- EDIT: Made my second and final character. Now to wait until we start rolling. Name: Kenta Hamasaki Gender: Male Age: 17 Appearance: Personality: Slow on the pickup and having very mediocre scores in school, Kenta is the type of person who lives by his own motto, namely "Rest first, work later". He's a big procrastinator, which may or may not be the reason why his grades lean on C's to B's. Despite being laid back most of the time, he's quick to jump to conclusions and his temper isn't the best, a few push of his buttons and he'll let his fists do all the talking. Bio: A normal boy by any other name. Kenta's family is as plain as they come, in other words: boring. There was rarely anything new whenever he was home, his dad reading the newspaper shortly after coming back from work, his mother watching the local teledrama when she wasn't cooking and his older brother playing with his gadgets, everyone was too busy in their own worlds, during his childhood he loathed it. He had nothing to do during days where his friends outside weren't there or when heavy rain would pour down on their kiddy playtime. Middle school rolled in and one faithful day during their recess, a group of kids huddled around the latest craze, Yu-Gi-Oh! At the time, the boy was really hoping he'd have a chance to play it, why not? It was the most hip thing that all his friends were glossing all over, and if there was anything to escape the monotony of his house, it was this. He fought with other kids multiple times, besting most of them within his first few tries of the game. He was happy, he finally found something he could do inside his room for once! One that wasn't watching television over and over or doing mind-numbing homework!! As he grew older, Kenta would participate in local tournaments, some he has won and others, not so much while others were so difficult, he had lost within the first round. With another tournament on its way, surely this would be the perfect chance to see both himself and others in action, right? Signature Feature: Tends to give a rating for himself whenever a Duel is over. Deck: Favorite Card: Gladiator Beast Laquari Other: Always brings his bicycle wherever he goes.

Sooo, anything about millennium items? :3 Which can make Dark Games or deadly battles? XP

Yes! So sorry I forgot to mention them! If you want your chara to have one PM me! Also deadly battles and shadow games? Let's just say the real fun cannot be revealed through a simple TV ad ;)... As for charas everybody is accepted so far! And I am very sad though I wish there was more signature features! Haha no worries though!

Sooo, anything about millennium items? :3 Which can make Dark Games or deadly battles? XP

We've already talked about that, and those were banned. At least I think they were.

Name: Alexander Lee Gender: Male Age: 18 Appearance: This guy. Personality: He can be quite friendly. He's a pretty nice guy to almost anyone he meets, and he's always smiling. He always tries to achieve a peaceful solution to problems, no matter what it is. Be careful, though, because if you get on his bad side, then he seems to emit a dark aura, and his smile seems to change from friendly to menacing, despite it not changing in appearance. You will notice when his voice takes a sharp edge. Bio: Alexander is a pretty standard guy. Doesn't miss a day in school, gets A's and B's in class, hangs out with friends, etc. One day, he found a Duel Monsters card on the ground, and he was instant hooked. He started to research Duel Monsters and gather cards to complete his collection for his card, and he soon gathered more than enough to create his very own deck. It was then that his passion for Dueling began. There were so many factors that had to be taken in, and strategies and counter-strategies to learn about peoples' decks. He enrolled in a small duel school that took place after his regular school so he could spend some time Dueling with others who had the same interest as him. From there he worked his way up, beating even the duel school principal and entering a local tournament. He didn't win the tournament, sadly, but he came pretty darn close. Even now, his love for Dueling has not wavered. Signature Feature: He tends to say "Checkmate" right before the finishing blow. Deck: Favorite Card: Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En --- Name: Michelle Kine Gender: Female Age: 17 Appearance: Here. Personality: Michelle is a bit of an introvert, and quite shy. She's not really one to talk to others, and as such has few friends. She spends most of her time by herself with her Duel Monsters cards, either at school or at home. Bio: Michelle's mother is an ex-Pro Duelist, while her father is an accountant. Michelle was entranced with Duel Monsters as a child, and spent most of her time with Duel Monster cards. She spent hours creating decks, only for them to lose multiple times in a row. Despite these events, she continued trying. She tried a lot of decks, and as such gained knowledge of the different summoning techniques, and her deck making skills improved so that her win/lose ratio increased. However, the ratio was still pretty low. One day, though, Michelle's mother asked her to make to best deck she could, and to meet her in their backyard. A day later, she created her deck and met her mother outside. It turned out that Michelle's mother had challenged her to a Duel, and her mother would use her personal deck. The challenge, sadly, proved to be too much for Michelle to overcome, and she lost after a close match. Afterwards, though, her mother gave Michelle her deck, and told Michelle to make her proud. Michelle accepted gladly, confident that she would uphold that promise. Deck: Favorite Card: Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner

So do we repost character forms in the character bin, or do we simply wait for a first post to come out?

Don't be so hasty! Chillax... I will repost all accepted charas into the bin and the first post is now updated with the list of accepted charas

Name: Robert O'Brian Gender: Male Age: 15 Appearance. Personality: A Pagan that worships mother earth. He's generally a friendly sort, but it's when he's in the heat of duel that his spirit sets ablaze and his passion melts any ice that might be around. When the seal goes off, his passion dies down into a quiet calm that allows him to think straight and plan his moves carefully. He see's it as the seal transfering his passion to his monsters. He is also prone to bursting into song, and is proud of being a "Galway boy" Signature Feature: When he plays the Seal of Orichalcos, a strange green symbol appears on his forehead Bio: Born into a mismatched family, he was the second child and first son of famous professional wrestler Douglas "The Smiler" O'Brian. Although, news of his conception came as a shock, due to his mother being told that she was incapable of having male children. His older Sister had been born and their father had taken to training her to be the next Wrestling Champion. His mother, on the otherhand, was a strong pagan woman. Until he was 7 years old, he and his father were rather distant, as his father spent his time training his sister. As such, he imprinted more on his mother than him. She would often take him on nature walks and show him the beauty that mother earth had to offer. She even told him an old legend of the 6 Kings. A King to rule each of the elements, Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, Light and Dark. When he was 6, he and his sister got their first Decks, and so, he started to save up all of his pocket money on these cards. His deck was that of the Monarchs, as they had been based on the old legend of the 6 kings. Their father was a card player, but no-one phenomenal. At the age of 7, Robert and his father finally got close, as he was now old enough to start learning how to wrestle. Robert grew close to his father and sister, through the training, but he wasn't very good. He only really did it so as to get some quality, family time. Naturally, he lost to his sister... A lot... It was when he was 13 that he decided to start trying to get closer to nature. He would often camp out in the woodlands close to his small hometown. On one fateful night, he heard a strange rustling through the undergrowth. Going to investigate, he saw a bright green hawk that was stuck in a trap, with men closing in on it, talking of how much money it was worth. Naturally, he got between them and the defenseless bird. Using his wrestling know-how, he managed to fend off one of them, but they were much larger than him, so he didn't stand much of a chance. He managed to at least get over to the bird and cut the rope with his pocket knife, at least he could save the creature. That was when it exploded in a bright green light, Wind seemed to pick up instantly as the bird transformed into a giant. The men ran but Robert was transfixed on its magnificence. It stared down at him, before disappearing and forming into a card, which floated down to him. The card was the true form of one of the Monarchs. Raiza... After this event, he spent the next year, wandering through the area in search of the rest of the Monarchs, his first month was to no avail. Raiza, inspired by his determination to find his fellow Monarchs, told him to seek out the Majiosheldon. The Leprechauns that roamed the land under the watchful eyes of the Monarchs. He found them in a cabbage patch, three brothers, who, thanks to Raiza were convinced to assist him. With their help, he easily overcame the obstacles and reunited the 6 Mega Monarchs. They were his to call upon in battle. With this, he was bestowed a mystical card, the Seal of Orcichalcos. A seal given to those that the Monarchs decide is truly at one with them. it is proof that he is a guardian of nature and an ally of the Monarchs. He returned home and began focusing on his finesse with his deck. His deck became infamous in the area. Eventually, he moved to the big city in order to find a teacher and get even better. Deck: Favorite Card: Majiosheldon ********************************************************************************************************************************************************* (Another Character to be added soon. Too tired at the moment T.T)

Curious as to estimated start time. I reallly want to see this get rolling.

Oh yeah, I thought I should ask, are we going with the 4000 lp and one field spell only rules, or current rules?

^ Well, 4k LP causes some really weird interactions. I'd argue one field spell and 8k LP makes the most sense, honestly.

Whoops. Accidentally posted my sheet in the bin too soon. My apologies, Pirate. Name: Jackson P. DuBois Gender: Male Age: 24 Appearance: Personality: Jack DuBois is a wonderful, kind hearted, soft spoken individual. He would also laugh in your face if you happened to believe that for even half a second. Jack is a strategic, calculating man who appreciates if not demands a challenge from his opponents. Jack is sarcastic by nature; manipulative and deceitful when necessary. Jack isn't incapable of genuine friendship, he's just incredibly bored by most of those he meets. Biography: At some point, it can be deduced, there was a man and woman who had a child. This child, would inevitably grow up to call himself Jackson P. DuBois and take the world of Duel Monsters by storm. As well as his interest in Duel Monsters, Jack also nursed a love for history. There was a time in his life that he aspired to be a college professor. A duelist since grade school, Jack began playing Duel Monsters competitively only recently. He has made enough of a name for himself, however, that he has been invited to play in Mr. Khan's 100th Anniversary event of the Battle City tournament. Deck: Favorite Card: Injection Fairy Lilly

^ Well, 4k LP causes some really weird interactions. I'd argue one field spell and 8k LP makes the most sense, honestly.

I agree on 4k LP, look at something like chain burn with 4k lp... yeah i rather stick with 8k :P

8k Lp, one field spell. And also all charas posted as of recent are accepted :). Also I am thinking soon for the start I just want to make sure I get the opening post right :D also that everybody that wants a second chara can get one in.

I prefer 4k LP for IRP (planned out) duels, and 8k for actual duels o3o ~
