@Lugubrious Altered it so that she gets enhanced strength "for a badger's standards" but is still a rabid beast that's unlikely to dodge and can't strategize, keeping it more of a letdown than a powerup. That good?

@ScreenAcne the characters tab is for things I've personally approved alone. Please remove whatever it is you just put there when you get the chance. If you require somewhere to put your ideas so that you want to remember them or to get them out of your system, I would recommend a word document. If you want to share them with someone, I'd recommend the characters subforum of the RP guild, or the SCP foundation website. I am not interested in any kind of expansions of the Crucible's universe beyond what I specifically ask for.

@Lugubrious, Are you still accepting characters? Mine is expecting to talk her way through the Crucible, and win.
Name: Ms. Michelle "Shelly" Dunnst
Alias: Garbage
Race: Metahuman
Sex: Female
Class: Anti-Combat Saboteur
Equipment: Accordion, Mini Speakers, Ultrabright LED Torches, Empty Vials, A sharp knife.
Abilities:
High Social Intelligence: Shelly reads people's feelings like children's books. In conjunction with conversation she is capable of gleaning a lot more information than most.
Sensory Persuasion: Sensing Shelly induces Synesthesia, causing temporary changes in perception, tastes and opinions of the sensor. The intensity of the perception correlates positively with the magnitude of change. For example, passively gazing at or listening to Shelly offers little to no change after a short period of exposure. However the feeling of Shelly against your bare skin has the chance to drastically alter current priorities and occasionally warp perception of reality. Its thought that Shelly gives off an "aura", a complex array of sensory information at all times (even when trying to do nothing), including but not limited to visual cues, pheromones, voice modulations, tactile stimuli and secretions in sweat that induce over stimulation and under stimulation in both the sensory and memory section of the brain leading to temporary changes. These changes start off as quite random, however Shelly tunes herself unconsciously becoming more better and better at controlling the experiences she induces in those paying attention to her. It is unknown what effect Shelly has on those with extrasensory abilities, although the link between intensity of the sensing and amount of change to tastes and opinions is likely to hold true.
Fighting Style: Pacifist. Entirely unskilled in combat. Prefers talking it out.
Personality: Bold, independent and verifiably the best taste in fashion known to man, Shelly is a force to reckoned with. She's by no means clever but doesn't often find herself outwitted, nor is she especially tough. Shelly's true strength relies on her ability to read the situation and read people, diffusing situations with her social skills, her patience and her compassion. Shelly's learnt not to be shy, her behaviour has a more lasting effect on people than her powers do. She's a natural diplomat and if it weren't for the Crucible she would probably already climbing the political ladder. Everyone who has ever spent time with Shelly would tell you she was charming, in an little odd way, and certainly a delight to be with. Shelly is very open with others, deep down however, she still finds it tough to trust others, and more worryingly, this mistrust has always scaled with compatibility. The best way to describe how close she lets people get to her is "arms length", but you wouldn't know this until you REALLY pushed this boundary as she is well equipped to hide it.
Wish: End the Crucible, for good.
Echo: The old family farmhouse, it long winding path to the main road, the telegraph poles and the surrounding fields of rapeseed oil. Dark clouds circle overhead, threatening to rain but never quite getting there. The wind gusts up periodically, the yellow flowered crop succumbing to its strength and swaying with it. A body kneels at the threshold to the house in front of the door, a hand gesturing as if to be handing something over. A pained, defeated expression is painted irremovably on its face. Shelly has no recollection of her parent's old home out in the country from when she was little, her mother and Shelly moved out when she was much too wee. Shelly's Echo of the farmhouse is based entirely on the video footage of her late father's trip into the Crucible, which she has studied more carefully than she cares to admit.
Bio: Shelly has spent the entirety of her adult years training for the Crucible; aged only 23 Shelly even admits it isn't hasn't been long. Shelly's confidence in her abilities and her Mother's declining health have been her primary motivators for signing up this season. She can't keep putting it off either, Maybe next year? The year after? When does that end? She's ready, the time is nigh. Shelly's biggest worry is her Mother; Mum knows Shelly's flying the coop but doesn't yet know she's heading to the Crucible, she's under the impression she's moving in with a boyfriend. She'll find out eventually, but Shelly hopes the tournament will be close to ending before then. Shelly isn't much worried about death, despite that being a real threat in this tournament, she'll never give anyone a reason to take her life. Anyone that can't be reasoned with she'll be more than willing to offer the phylactery too and suffer the consequences.
Appearance:
Shelly has curly shoulder length dark brown hair, usually tied up behind her right ear with an aging, but still functioning, fluffy Miffy scrunchy. Exceptionally Dark brown eyes adorn her tan face, dark enough that without good light its tough to see where pupil ends and iris begins. An innocent button nose betrays her age, however her personality will set you straight again. At 5'3" she's a shorty but her high, wide hips give her legs the impression of length. Her training has toned her physique, but she's by no means muscular.
Garbage wears a black hooded cloak, which obscures physique and accordion entirely, and can be tied together to keep closed with a gold ribbon. The hood is large an makes it difficult to see that shes also wearing a superhero style domino eye mask and an earpiece with tiny microphone attached. Out from the bottom of the cloak you can just about make out a pair of combat boots. Underneath is Garbage's "supersuit", which is designed for maximum exposure without compromising on necessary protection. Garbage chooses to wear a white low cut boyshort leotard. Two red vertical stripes run up the suit and down the back. Her "utility belt" is little more than a bum bag decorated with red ruffles that contains some of her potent weapons.
Frenzy: Shelly loses control of her power, transmitting all her dreadful, insanity driven feelings to all others that are paying attention to her, forcibly. The sheer intensity of it leaving most of their sensory and memory faculties hugely impaired with garbage information, manifesting itself in experiences like hallucinations, blindness, deafness, false memories, amnesia, the sensation of slow time and out of body experiences. It also activates Frenzy in her victims.
Failing to obtain a soul returns her to previous state of control giving her back the ability to focus and tune, however she too is now a victim of her own powers and is just as liable to disable herself as she is others.

if your oratory skill and writing are up to snuff then this is gong to be a fascinating character to watch. Probably going to struggle to get anything done vs the few evil player characters though, so hopefully rng doesn't shut you down before you can show off.

here's my NPC my dudes
Name: Finimor Thoedrun
Alias: Fin, the Cop
Race: Rythulian/Wanderer
Sex: Male
Class: Gunman
Equipment:
-Siglico & Valencino Mk. IV .44 Handgun - Emits a bright fluorescent blue glow from its inside
-Sacred Scarf - 6 ft long, charged with a strange energy depicted in glowing white symbols.
Abilities:
-Scarf-based Flight - Fin's strange scarf allows him to float upwards for about 6 seconds. Afterwards, it must be recharged - by itself, it recharges for around 35 seconds, or it may recharge for up to 5 seconds, depending on how close it is to an electric or magnetic field.
-Wanderer's Voice - There is a special addition to Fin's larynx which allows him the use of the Wanderer's Voice - a peculiar way of speech used for operating or activating things. The sound is either a short "chirp", or a drawn-out, chiming "call". It activates any electrical or magical devices within range. The physical range of its effects depends on how loud he calls.
-Quickdraw - Fin's apparent career as a policeman in a vast, booming and violent city has earned him skills similar to a character from a Wild West movie - "Quicker draw and better aim than any crook, as was required of us."
-Bloodhound Snout - Fin's physiology, similar to a canine, allows him an increased sense of smell - a single whiff of the enemy's general stench and he can quickly track them down from a dozen miles away.
-Cat People- Another thing "they had to learn in the academy" was how to move quickly, yet silently and without being seen - similar to a cat. The common Rythulian's small weight helped with that. An addition to their training was how to make the most out of another peculiar part of their physiology - their ability to adjust very well and very quickly to the dark.
Fighting Style: A good cop from Fin's home city would follow a quite militaristic principle - shoot first, ask questions later. Fin takes this principle very seriously, as he always tries his hardest to make absolutely sure to engage at the enemy before they do. In fact, he doesn't even let them attack at all - his basic tactic is to fire all six shots from his gun towards them as rapidly as he can and reload as quickly as his ashy hands can. If available, he will use any nearby electrical or magical device to trap or - in this particular case - kill the crook he is pursuing.
Personality: Fin seems quite stoic, but under the guise of a cold-hearted, robotic policeman only loyal to the concept of law and order lies a surprisingly smart and sensitive man. His greatest fear is failure, which is why he is so extremely diligent in his work. He has always relied on his gut-feeling, seeing as it's seemed to have saved his life numerous times in the past. He always approaches other people with extreme caution and uses short sentences, as he is more used to work-related situations where he could be stabbed at any moment. For this, he keeps a slightly bigger distance than a normal person would and has a tendency to stare, which is something he himself isn't aware of.
Bio: Fin lost most of his memories since his civilization ended abruptly as a result of a Civil War. Although the only life he's ever truly known is that in the Wastes - roaming the sands, visiting ruins and meeting the occasional fellow Wanderer - he does seem to remember small bits of his past life, such as a vast city, his time serving the local police, skills and principles acquired from the police, the city's Law, and a very vague yet specific memory of skyscrapers falling down and collapsing into clouds of dust and smoke, the ear-piercing sounds of guns being fired nearby, the smell of blood, iron and gunpowder, the rumbling feeling of explosive shockwaves and the dead body of someone he feels must've been very important to him. He prefers not to talk or think too much about that particular memory, as it always makes him dizzy when it comes to mind.
Wish: His greatest wish is to not be afraid of failure anymore. He never truly made any friends in the Wastes because of this crippling phobia for failure.
Echo: A pile of ruins inhabited by a small colony of Wanderers, all of them good friends of each other - people he can trust. Around the ruins - a vast, golden sea of sand reflects the light from the sun. Distant silhouettes of more, slightly bigger ruins nearby. In the horizon - a tall, tall mountain with a crack at the very tip of it. The crack emits a beacon of light. A feeling of being beckoned when one looks at the beacon. Additionally, a vague memory of upbeat music from before the Civil War playing in his head.
Appearance:
A younger Fin, several months after the start of his career.
Present-day Fin.
His scarf is scarlet and it is bordered with strips of golden silk. The golden silk glows and symbols appear upon it when in use or when recharging
Frenzy: A black, steaming liquid begins oozing out of Fin's mouth. Cataracts form up on his eyes. He begins rambling about how the opponent is guilty and is sentenced to death.
The black liquid proceeds to slowly consume his body in the form of dark tendrils. He can eject some of it from his mouth. The more his body is consumed, the further he can eject the liquid from his mouth. The black liquid has potent acidic properties, so once it touches an enemy, it causes excruciating pain to them and begins to consume them too. Fin, on the other hand, is unaffected by any pain, although his body still suffers damage. Any wounds inflicted upon him or anyone affected by the liquid makes the consumption quicker.
Once it consumes his scarf, it needs no recharging and he can fly indefinitely. However, the scarf also begins to slowly dissolve.
Once his entire body is consumed, his flesh begins to crack and he can eject more liquid from the cracks.
In hand-to-hand combat, his hands will be able to inflict gruesome wounds, and he will engage in fisticuffs as a last resort.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to trying to win a death match versus Dragons, Skeletons and Faze Clan members by conversation. I'm not actually that worried about evil characters, evil characters have to pay an attention to me, which won't end as they expect. The worst will be those that can kill without really interacting with me; trappers and snipers.

There are a couple problems. First off, the RP's status is 'full'. The two remaining player spots belong to @Indra and @Mira Yasaka. That means I'm actually not accepting, unless one were to give up the slot.
Second, the central premise of the character's backstory is misguided. The Crucible is something that, in terms of this story, just started to exist for the first time. This is the first official tournament, and it's not supposed to be some sort of recurring societal thing like the Hunger Games; it is a private event, with the participants spontaneously joining.
With these two things in mind, I must decline this concept, though I am sorry to put to waste all the work you did.

-Sacred Scarf - 6 ft long, charged with a strange energy depicted in glowing white symbols.
Abilities:
-Scarf-based Flight - Fin's strange scarf allows him to float upwards for about 6 seconds. Afterwards, it must be recharged - by itself, it recharges for around 35 seconds, or it may recharge for up to 5 seconds, depending on how close it is to an electric or magnetic field.
-Wanderer's Voice - There is a special addition to Fin's larynx which allows him the use of the Wanderer's Voice - a peculiar way of speech used for operating or activating things. The sound is either a short "chirp", or a drawn-out, chiming "call". It activates any electrical or magical devices within range. The physical range of its effects depends on how loud he calls.
-Quickdraw - Fin's apparent career as a policeman in a vast, booming and violent city has earned him skills similar to a character from a Wild West movie - "Quicker draw and better aim than any crook, as was required of us."
-Bloodhound Snout - Fin's physiology, similar to a canine, allows him an increased sense of smell - a single whiff of the enemy's general stench and he can quickly track them down from a dozen miles away.
-Cat People- Another thing "they had to learn in the academy" was how to move quickly, yet silently and without being seen - similar to a cat. The common Rythulian's small weight helped with that. An addition to their training was how to make the most out of another peculiar part of their physiology - their ability to adjust very well and very quickly to the dark.
Fighting Style: A good cop from Fin's home city would follow a quite militaristic principle - shoot first, ask questions later. Fin takes this principle very seriously, as he always tries his hardest to make absolutely sure to engage at the enemy before they do. In fact, he doesn't even let them attack at all - his basic tactic is to fire all six shots from his gun towards them as rapidly as he can and reload as quickly as his ashy hands can. If available, he will use any nearby electrical or magical device to trap or - in this particular case - kill the crook he is pursuing.
Personality: Fin seems quite stoic, but under the guise of a cold-hearted, robotic policeman only loyal to the concept of law and order lies a surprisingly smart and sensitive man. His greatest fear is failure, which is why he is so extremely diligent in his work. He has always relied on his gut-feeling, seeing as it's seemed to have saved his life numerous times in the past. He always approaches other people with extreme caution and uses short sentences, as he is more used to work-related situations where he could be stabbed at any moment. For this, he keeps a slightly bigger distance than a normal person would and has a tendency to stare, which is something he himself isn't aware of.
Bio: Fin lost most of his memories since his civilization ended abruptly as a result of a Civil War. Although the only life he's ever truly known is that in the Wastes - roaming the sands, visiting ruins and meeting the occasional fellow Wanderer - he does seem to remember small bits of his past life, such as a vast city, his time serving the local police, skills and principles acquired from the police, the city's Law, and a very vague yet specific memory of skyscrapers falling down and collapsing into clouds of dust and smoke, the ear-piercing sounds of guns being fired nearby, the smell of blood, iron and gunpowder, the rumbling feeling of explosive shockwaves and the dead body of someone he feels must've been very important to him. He prefers not to talk or think too much about that particular memory, as it always makes him dizzy when it comes to mind.
Wish: His greatest wish is to not be afraid of failure anymore. He never truly made any friends in the Wastes because of this crippling phobia for failure.
Echo: A pile of ruins inhabited by a small colony of Wanderers, all of them good friends of each other - people he can trust. Around the ruins - a vast, golden sea of sand reflects the light from the sun. Distant silhouettes of more, slightly bigger ruins nearby. In the horizon - a tall, tall mountain with a crack at the very tip of it. The crack emits a beacon of light. A feeling of being beckoned when one looks at the beacon. Additionally, a vague memory of upbeat music from before the Civil War playing in his head.
Appearance:
A younger Fin, several months after the start of his career.
Present-day Fin.
His scarf is scarlet and it is bordered with strips of golden silk. The golden silk glows and symbols appear upon it when in use or when recharging

And finally, I made a second character. He's not an NPC, but I may make just one during the weekend (just one no more). I really had fun making this character though!
Name:
King Leonidas Mericonanian Lionheart III
Alias:
"Lion-King"; "King Righteous"; "Riser Of Suns"; "Bane Of Tigerius"; "Your Majesty"; "Leo"
Race:
Lionoid (Anthropomorphic Lion)
Sex:
Male
Class:
Defensive Swordsman Tank; (Beast Slayer)
Equipment:
Leonidas' most prominent and epic of his arsenal is the giant golden sword that he carries. Called "The Sword Of Righteousness", this monstrously large and powerful sword is nothing short of impressive, imbued with such powerful magic that gives it its brilliant glow. Such a sword would normally be equivalent to Cloud's Buster Sword, yet to a giant anthropomorphic lion, he wields it like just some ordinary-sized sword. He also carries a large shield called "The Shield Of Valor" for additional protection against most projectile based weapons, as well as an emergency dagger as a safety precaution. He also carries several flasks of potions, four at a time, with usually two being healing potions and two to be used as projectiles (from explosive potions, fire-starting potion, etc). He also wears armored braces on his hands that allow him to block sword strikes with his bare hands, as well as hold the sharp end without harm.
He's also been often seen smoking a pipe, which he claims to be made of non-hazardous materials.
Abilities:
Fighting Style:
Leonidas is a defensive powerhouse, capable of unleashing powerful strike after powerful strike, but rather keeps his distance as a wary fighter. His countless of years in battle has made him a veteran fighter, often observing his foe from a distance before getting comfortable. Once he does get comfy however, he shows no falling back as he uses every inch of his raw might to overwhelm his opponent and defeat them. Yet struck by being under honor bound, he usually does not kill his opponent and gives them a chance to surrender first, unless said opponent is a threat to the world itself or if it continues fighting after being given said warning.
Personality:
Leonidas is a proud yet admirable king. He's usually really friendly to be around with, telling valiant and epic journeys with even a joke or two in between, all while radiating a powerful warmth that one can't simply resist. He's also extremely generous, being known in his kingdom for giving food, clothes and coins to the poor citizens. During times of war, he's known for being both a great strategist and an awesomely powerful warrior out on the front lines. At the same time, Leonidas is famously known for his honor-bound attitude when dealing with his opponents one-on-one. Rather than simply killing them on the spot, the Lion-King often gives the defeated opponent a chance to concede before taking him to justice or simply letting it go on a good day. Only if the opponent refuses does Leonidas forcibly, and sometimes regrettably, strike his foe down, the death being swift and painless.
While he often has a positive attitude plastered on his face most of the time, he does have guilt over the loss of his friend Tora, the Black Tiger. It's a grief he'll never recover properly from, feeling guilty that he wasn't able to save him. Despite this, he stands strong and refuses to surrender, even in the darkest of hours.
Bio:
The Realm of Eisetopia is a world where the population is quite literally anthropomorphic animals. Sustaining only one giant landmass, as well as two large inland oceans, the realm is ruled by various feudalistic kingdoms across the land and beyond. Out of all of them, two Super-Kingdoms are the main powerhouses of the land. You have the Kingdom of Leonidas, Lionheart, to the Northwest ruled by a powerful lion, and to the southeast you have the Kingdom of Tora, Tigerius, ruled by a ruthless tiger. Once these two nations were allies, thriving in a rich environment of peace and justice, a time that lasted for thousands of years. Yet when Tigerius suddenly pulled away and declared war on Lionheart, they had no choice but to fight. This has lasted for almost an entire century, with each side occasionally being put on the brink of victory for one another. Yet every time, a deus ex machina event pushed each other back for another stalemate. Eventually, for a brief time, the two sides silently faltered in their attacks and thus an era of "peace" was achieved.
Amongst one of the great Lion Kings of Lionheart, came King Leonidas III, father of the previous king Miercoles II. Born during the first year of this peaceful state, Leonidas was destined to become one of Lionheart's best King to date. Before this however, he trained with some of the most top-notch generals who taught him how to fight. Along this, he studied politics with his father as well as with other mentors and teachers alike. He became both skilled physically and mentally, making him a natural born warrior for peace and prosperity. While training in combat with other fellow soldiers, he became friends with a black tiger named Tora who will eventually serve under Leonidas as a major general. When the old King Miercoles II passed away of old age, Leonidas was the next up to sit on the throne. His immediate vision for a more peaceful kingdom and society was launched immediately as he attempted to provide more jobs for the citizens, with fair wages and made sure they wouldn't go hungry. He was beloved by many in the Lionheart Kingdom, praised for his kindness and generosity as a king. As king, he also inherited both the golden sword and shield of his father, his grandfather, and all the other kings before him. He renamed the Golden Sword "The Sword of Righteousness" and the shield "The Shield of Valor".
However, this peace only lasted for merely five years, when suddenly the armies of Tigerius came and ransacked a local village, too close to the main capital of Lionheart. Leonidas desperately tried to stop them from invading more of their villages and local towns, but the opposing ruler declined without any second thought. With a heavy heart, the Lion-King was forced to prepare his army for war once again. During the war, King Leonidas took note of his old comrade Tora who was doing a magnificent job on the battlefield, promoting him into a general. On several occasions, they even fought alongside once another in battle, winning battle after battle against Tigerius' foes. However, it would take one intense battle to break the strong magnetic bond they had for one another.
On a cold chilly night, Leonidas was given a report from one of his scouts that a Tigerian army was on their way to a major Fortress City known as Fondor. This fortress stood for thousands of years, the gateway into the heart of the Lionheart Kingdom. If it was to be breached, the opposing army will have a direct route to the capital. Thus he and two his most skilled generals, which included Tora, were tasked in protecting the city from the invaders. Their army compared to Leonidas' was basically three to one. This became the largest military force that Tigerius conjured up in over 100 years. At first, the archers, onboard explosive ballistas, and giant catapults protecting the wall seemed to have the upper hand. Yet this wouldn't last as the opposing army began to get closer and closer to the gates, their protective formations reducing the casualty numbers by half. This forced Leonidas and his army of 1,500 elite warriors to be sent on the offensive as they rushed into the battlefield with little mercy.
The battle was long, bloody and ferociously brutal on both sides. Yet during the battle, Tora was battling an elite armored tiger warrior wielding a lance. The battle was fierce and frantic, yet the black tiger, already tired about by the long and grueling battle, lost concentration for a mere second and was stabbed right through the stomach twice. Leonidas saw this happen from a distance and charged at the armored beast, killing him with one well-placed swing to the head. Despite the chaos of battle surrounding him, the open space provided him a chance to cradle his dying friend in his arms. But before Leonidas had a chance to save him, several wolf assassins tried to kill the king while he was distracted, only to face his mighty wrath of his blade. Yet while he was distracted, Tora passed out on the battlefield, presumably dead from his injuries sustained. It was shortly after when the entire opposing army was forced to retreat despite still having the ability to overrun the entire fort. It was a bittersweet moment for King Leonidas, a day that will haunt him for the rest of his life.
If only did the Lion King turn around quickly enough would he notice his body being pulled away by two Tigerian soldiers...
Wish:
Leonidas simply wishes for eternal peace of his people back home, for both his kingdom Lionheart and the opposing Kingdom Tigerius' to simply coexist in harmony without war and bloodshed.
Echo:
Leonidas' Castle is a calm and warming environment, coated with tan and bright gold and silver colors inside the main palace. It's fantasy-looking medieval styled look captivates many audiences with sturdy columns, looming archways, and stained glass windows producing a vibrant blue hue when light shines through it. In Leonidas' throne room, his throne, while impressively covered in gold metal and red velvet padding, isn't too daunting or flaunting much of his wealth and power, rather it produces a more humble feeling from within. Above the throne, hangs a painting of the Lionheart family through the years, from Leonidas' father, mother, and several siblings.
Appearance:
Leonidas is a magnificent individual, standing at a giant height of 7'2". He simply looks like an anthropomorphic lion, with brown flowing hair making up his fur and mane running down his neck, along with white fur making up his under belly. He also sports amber-yellow eyes and an extremely muscular body. He normally wears a royal-red cape when in his castle, but also has light-armor on his shoulders and legs, the rest of his body being rather naked and exposed, save for the piece of cloth covering his groin.
Frenzy:
In complete desperation and/or surged with righteous adrenaline of courage, Leonidas can transform into a magnificent White Sabertoothed Lion. He stands at 15 meters tall, with saber-teeth as long as cutting knives, and has fur as white as pure snow. His power increases as he becomes more primal and animalistic, engaging his enemy with ruthless aggression and intense power. Even his eyes can unleash a yellow beam of light that can pierce through strong armor. And wherever he goes, a trail of bright trickling yellow light always follows him around.

King Leonidas III
Name:
King Leonidas Mericonanian Lionheart III
Alias:
"Lion-King"; "King Righteous"; "Riser Of Suns"; "Bane Of Tigerius"; "Your Majesty"; "Leo"
Race:
Lionoid (Anthropomorphic Lion)
Sex:
Male
Class:

He also wears armored braces on his hands that allow him to block sword strikes with his bare hands, as well as hold the sharp end without harm.
He's also been often seen smoking a pipe, which he claims to be made of non-hazardous materials.
Abilities:
- Enhanced Strength: For a giant beast anthropomorphic lion like himself, Leonidas is undoubtedly an extremely heavy hitter. After all, he does wield around a giant sword and shield like they are nothing, a feat no ordinary human-being can achieve with such effort. Legend has it that a single sweep of his sword-arm can cut down an entire column with ease.
- Dark Eradication: Despite the name, this is a neutral move in which the sword can pulsate once in releasing a shockwave that clears out smoke or brightens dark environments for a short moment. This move is normally used to find opponents hiding in the shadows, a stun/blinding-move, as well as an anti-smoke grenade tactic.
- Royal Strike: With a powerful swing of his sword, Leonidas can unleash a burst of surging plasma energy at his foe, enabling him to cut through objects as tough as steel at the right angle. This move can be used up to four times in a row.
- Sovereign Charge: Using a quick burst of speed, Leonidas charges at his foe with his shield out in front of him. Its more of an intimidation attack, but can knockout and stun opponents if they get hit, let alone probably getting run over. It can also knock back opponents a considerable distance.
- Indomitable Defense: Granting his Shield Of Valor a momentarily boost in defense, it allows it to block and tank almost any blow that strikes it for a short period of time. It does waste a lot of energy and effort, so it's only used in the most dire of situations.
Fighting Style:
Leonidas is a defensive powerhouse, capable of unleashing powerful strike after powerful strike, but rather keeps his distance as a wary fighter. His countless of years in battle has made him a veteran fighter, often observing his foe from a distance before getting comfortable.

LET'S MAKE WAY FOR OUR GENDER BENDING EXORCISTS!
There we go.
Name: Grant Gospel/Ria Tsurara
Alias: Mika
Race: Human
Sex: Male/Female
Class: Exorcist
Equipment:
The Holy Bible.
Abilities:
Faith: Both are strong followers of Christ and as long as they believe Jesus is God, they are blessed with his love and mercy that endures forever.
Grant's abilities
Faithblade
Grant is able to use the "invisible sword"(near invisible and something along the lines of translucent.) which is most effective in combating demons. It can be enhanced with bible verses to make its cutting power effective. Faithblade is mostly effective if Grant is full of confidence but if he feels discouragement and doubt, it will not operate.
Passionblade
With flame of faith attribute, Faithblade is now on fire and packs more offense as it can be shaped into different forms of weapon but on fire!
Ria's abilties
Judgeseye
When in use, Ria's eyes becomes sky blue with silver cross symbol in each eye. This allows her to see "colors" of energies and to a certain extent, understanding of how a demon's physiology works. It also gives her some resistance against mind based attacks.
Faithshield
Ria is able to use the "invisible shield"(near invisible and something along the lines of translucent.) and it is also effective against demons. Like Faithblade, it can also be empowered by bible verses. For every faith power's strength, it is only measured by the capacity of the user's faith and how far will their faith take them. She's able to use the shield like a boomerang and the shield expands depending on the impact of the attack it receives. The shield is not invincible because it is measured on her faith.
Arcticjudge
As oppose to Grant's fire faith element, Ria herself is able to use Ice Faith. Her fighting style is that of an Ice Mage but long range, she's capable of geysers, blizzards, and blasts.
Fighting Style:
Both are Elite Middle Class Exorcists by standards of Theoearth.
Grant prefers to use swords while Ria prefers to use ranged weapons. As Mika they are a combination of both but barely because that depends on who is in control and their state of mind. The former is a master of One Sword Style and the latter is a master of throwing. When Ria is in control, she prefers to fight long range and launch projectiles while in Grant's control he goes up close. Both are equally strategists but Grant prefers to use offense more whereas Ria uses creativity.
It can become confusing because one wouldn't know who is who because it depends on whose soul is in control of whose body. For example if Grant's soul is in control of Ria's body, he will still sound like Ria.
Overall, their performance is still the same as One Being. This however changes in Frenzy.
Personality:
When as one, it is easy to be lead into confusing situations because both sometimes struggle for control and the vernacular term that is best to describe Mika(The alias of this One Being) is Tsundere, a Japanese slang coined meaning of hot and cold. As a matter of fact, they are like fire and ice when one of them becomes dominant; Grant is an idealist and is willing to put others before himself and proactively helps with burning passion but has common sense when things are out of line whereas Ria is a realist and level headed who always plans ahead with sheer coldness of thinking. As Mika, it is different because it is tricky since either of the two's soul will be dominant to take control of the active body, for example; Ria's body but with Grant's soul in control etc.
Bio:
Universe: Theoearth
Theo Mundus or Theoearth is the universe where Grant and Maria belongs to, it is an alternate earth where theocracy is the origin and law; a universe where Exorcists of God defends Paradise Meteora(One of the main capitals from a certain country, amalgam of Israel-Japan-USA-Philippines-China-Russia-UK. Country is called Meteora and its capital is Astoria.) from the forces of Lucifer and any form of corruption. In this earth or rather world, the laws are rather similar to a degree compare to the original earth which is called "Uno Mundus" meaning Earth 1 but this world is where all supernatural seems little or not normal but normal is just an illusion because what's not normal to witness and enact for most earths in this world is normal. For starters, this is a world of Christianity and where Christianity reigns but it's not a paradise because no matter what legend, belief, stories, space and time -- God and Lucifer who are believed to be beings outside of time are always at odds.
Indeed, Theoearth as much as it seems like paradise is always at war, many people question God's will and while they know God exists; people like every other earth never cease to sin and so these sinners easily fall at the hands of Lucifer. Having supernatural abilities is normal because God Jesus is alright with it as long as it does good than bad. There are countless forbidden types of power in this world, one of the foulest would be black magic but foulest of them all would be Space Time Travel. In this world, those who commit time travel are sentenced to Hell as it is an atrocious sin, the epitome of all selfishness and it is extremely blasphemous to the eyes of Jesus.
God is basically how he is portrayed and known in every verse or so, "The Almighty". It is said that in this world is that God has his Angels protecting the timeline or what you call the "Sphere of Historia" which is an endless void of wormhole that connects to multiple verses and so does Lucifer and his demons who are messing with it.
This is Grant and Maria's origin story.........
During the Sevenfold Blood War, Christ was struck by the spear of longinus aka as The Spear of Destiny which struck him before on the cross of chivalry and he just disappeared thus leaving Theoearth at Lucifer's merciless reign. In order to stop Lucifer who ascended as Satan in his reign of terror, Grant and Maria did the blasphemous and that is by travelling through the multiverse. They are later fused under one body as a side effect of multiverse travel, causes unknown and why and how. Neither has control of their body and they are one body like gender bending.
Wish: To save Theoearth from the hands of Satan because they believe they will be free from the bondage of being One Being.
Echo: Fused Being, they are essentially one being now and it is uncontrollable because at one moment Maria is in control and her own body and one moment later it is Grant who is in his own body and his own control. It gets even worse! Randomly, Grant's soul is in control of Maria's body and vice versa.
Appearance:
"NONSTOP SWITCH!"
Frenzy:
|TRUE ONE|
In Frenzy, both body and soul are one, it doesn't matter whose body is who but their spirit being as one. They can now use their faith abilities simultaneously which they could never do in "One Being" state. In scientific terms, their fire and ice abilities are combined and resembles Thermokinesis more. Even their faith blade and shield can be used like a Knight fighting a dragon. They can only be "TRUE ONE" if both are in good terms with each other. The shield becomes that of a mirror and the sword is longer and visible. Not to mention, their hair is white and has a holy aura.
Two finisher abilities are gained while in this state. Mirror of Truth and Sword of Rebuke which acts as finishers. Mirror of Truth shows ones darkest and deepest secrets and is surrounded by house of mirrors and torments them by showing all of it ala loop style. Sword of Rebuke reaches not only the flesh but also the spirit, it can damage the flesh and spirit.
They emerge as High Exorcists but only in this state.

Upon agreement of Lub and Indra the maker of the character itself. By my statement, this character is Fairy Tail's Gray Fullbuster's level of power in IC regardless if Grant akin to Natsu, still Gray level w/o DeS as well as Ria, both are equally Gray's level of power:
When in TRUE ONE aka FRENZY STATE, they are ultimately the power level of Devil Slayer Gray that fought E.N.D.
Alias: Mika
Race: Human
Sex: Male/Female
Class: Exorcist
Equipment:
The Holy Bible.
Abilities:
Faith: Both are strong followers of Christ and as long as they believe Jesus is God, they are blessed with his love and mercy that endures forever.
Grant's abilities
Faithblade
Grant is able to use the "invisible sword"(near invisible and something along the lines of translucent.) which is most effective in combating demons. It can be enhanced with bible verses to make its cutting power effective. Faithblade is mostly effective if Grant is full of confidence but if he feels discouragement and doubt, it will not operate.
Passionblade
With flame of faith attribute, Faithblade is now on fire and packs more offense as it can be shaped into different forms of weapon but on fire!
Ria's abilties
Judgeseye
When in use, Ria's eyes becomes sky blue with silver cross symbol in each eye. This allows her to see "colors" of energies and to a certain extent, understanding of how a demon's physiology works. It also gives her some resistance against mind based attacks.
Faithshield
Ria is able to use the "invisible shield"(near invisible and something along the lines of translucent.) and it is also effective against demons. Like Faithblade, it can also be empowered by bible verses. For every faith power's strength, it is only measured by the capacity of the user's faith and how far will their faith take them. She's able to use the shield like a boomerang and the shield expands depending on the impact of the attack it receives. The shield is not invincible because it is measured on her faith.
Arcticjudge
As oppose to Grant's fire faith element, Ria herself is able to use Ice Faith. Her fighting style is that of an Ice Mage but long range, she's capable of geysers, blizzards, and blasts.
Fighting Style:
Both are Elite Middle Class Exorcists by standards of Theoearth.
Grant prefers to use swords while Ria prefers to use ranged weapons. As Mika they are a combination of both but barely because that depends on who is in control and their state of mind. The former is a master of One Sword Style and the latter is a master of throwing. When Ria is in control, she prefers to fight long range and launch projectiles while in Grant's control he goes up close. Both are equally strategists but Grant prefers to use offense more whereas Ria uses creativity.
It can become confusing because one wouldn't know who is who because it depends on whose soul is in control of whose body. For example if Grant's soul is in control of Ria's body, he will still sound like Ria.
Overall, their performance is still the same as One Being. This however changes in Frenzy.
Personality:
When as one, it is easy to be lead into confusing situations because both sometimes struggle for control and the vernacular term that is best to describe Mika(The alias of this One Being) is Tsundere, a Japanese slang coined meaning of hot and cold. As a matter of fact, they are like fire and ice when one of them becomes dominant; Grant is an idealist and is willing to put others before himself and proactively helps with burning passion but has common sense when things are out of line whereas Ria is a realist and level headed who always plans ahead with sheer coldness of thinking. As Mika, it is different because it is tricky since either of the two's soul will be dominant to take control of the active body, for example; Ria's body but with Grant's soul in control etc.
Bio:
Universe: Theoearth
Theo Mundus or Theoearth is the universe where Grant and Maria belongs to, it is an alternate earth where theocracy is the origin and law; a universe where Exorcists of God defends Paradise Meteora(One of the main capitals from a certain country, amalgam of Israel-Japan-USA-Philippines-China-Russia-UK. Country is called Meteora and its capital is Astoria.) from the forces of Lucifer and any form of corruption. In this earth or rather world, the laws are rather similar to a degree compare to the original earth which is called "Uno Mundus" meaning Earth 1 but this world is where all supernatural seems little or not normal but normal is just an illusion because what's not normal to witness and enact for most earths in this world is normal. For starters, this is a world of Christianity and where Christianity reigns but it's not a paradise because no matter what legend, belief, stories, space and time -- God and Lucifer who are believed to be beings outside of time are always at odds.
Indeed, Theoearth as much as it seems like paradise is always at war, many people question God's will and while they know God exists; people like every other earth never cease to sin and so these sinners easily fall at the hands of Lucifer. Having supernatural abilities is normal because God Jesus is alright with it as long as it does good than bad. There are countless forbidden types of power in this world, one of the foulest would be black magic but foulest of them all would be Space Time Travel. In this world, those who commit time travel are sentenced to Hell as it is an atrocious sin, the epitome of all selfishness and it is extremely blasphemous to the eyes of Jesus.
God is basically how he is portrayed and known in every verse or so, "The Almighty". It is said that in this world is that God has his Angels protecting the timeline or what you call the "Sphere of Historia" which is an endless void of wormhole that connects to multiple verses and so does Lucifer and his demons who are messing with it.
This is Grant and Maria's origin story.........
During the Sevenfold Blood War, Christ was struck by the spear of longinus aka as The Spear of Destiny which struck him before on the cross of chivalry and he just disappeared thus leaving Theoearth at Lucifer's merciless reign. In order to stop Lucifer who ascended as Satan in his reign of terror, Grant and Maria did the blasphemous and that is by travelling through the multiverse. They are later fused under one body as a side effect of multiverse travel, causes unknown and why and how. Neither has control of their body and they are one body like gender bending.
Wish: To save Theoearth from the hands of Satan because they believe they will be free from the bondage of being One Being.
Echo: Fused Being, they are essentially one being now and it is uncontrollable because at one moment Maria is in control and her own body and one moment later it is Grant who is in his own body and his own control. It gets even worse! Randomly, Grant's soul is in control of Maria's body and vice versa.
Appearance:
"NONSTOP SWITCH!"
Frenzy:
|TRUE ONE|
In Frenzy, both body and soul are one, it doesn't matter whose body is who but their spirit being as one. They can now use their faith abilities simultaneously which they could never do in "One Being" state. In scientific terms, their fire and ice abilities are combined and resembles Thermokinesis more. Even their faith blade and shield can be used like a Knight fighting a dragon. They can only be "TRUE ONE" if both are in good terms with each other. The shield becomes that of a mirror and the sword is longer and visible. Not to mention, their hair is white and has a holy aura.
Two finisher abilities are gained while in this state. Mirror of Truth and Sword of Rebuke which acts as finishers. Mirror of Truth shows ones darkest and deepest secrets and is surrounded by house of mirrors and torments them by showing all of it ala loop style. Sword of Rebuke reaches not only the flesh but also the spirit, it can damage the flesh and spirit.
They emerge as High Exorcists but only in this state.

From what I can glean, I think you're aware of this, but just in case I'll clarify: existing characters that belong to companies or individuals as intellectual properties are not usable in this RP. I assume you're asking about those characters to get an idea of what power level you should strive for. Having watched -and regretted wasting so much time on- Fairy Tail, I would say that Gray's average power level from the first arc up until the END arc would be acceptable. Defensive and offensive Ice Make, with the chief strength being versatility and creative application over raw power, would gel pretty well with the RP. However, I would definitely exclude Ice Devil Slayer magic from this.
When in TRUE ONE aka FRENZY STATE, they are ultimately the power level of Devil Slayer Gray that fought E.N.D.
There we go.

There are a couple problems. First off, the RP's status is 'full'. The two remaining player spots belong to @Indra and @Mira Yasaka. That means I'm actually not accepting, unless one were to give up the slot.
Second, the central premise of the character's backstory is misguided. The Crucible is something that, in terms of this story, just started to exist for the first time. This is the first official tournament, and it's not supposed to be some sort of recurring societal thing like the Hunger Games; it is a private event, with the participants spontaneously joining.
With these two things in mind, I must decline this concept, though I am sorry to put to waste all the work you did.
Ah my bad, I hadn't noticed, my apologies.
Also my bad, I'll rewrite it in case the first problem resolves itself, wasn't particularly attached to her backstory really, don't know why I imagined the Crucible was a recurring thing. I'm glad the powers alright though.
Its alright, the characters recycled from an old Rp, only a few elements are new.

@Indra So whose body is being used? Do they physically and visibly morph into him or her depending on whoevers in control at the moment, or do they just have one body with a mind that switches regularly?

aye @Lugubrious scope this shit my G i finished it
Name: Finimor Thoedrun
Alias: Fin, the Cop
Race: Rythulian/Wanderer
Sex: Male
Class: Gunman
Equipment:
-Siglico & Valencino Mk. IV .44 Handgun - Emits a bright fluorescent blue glow from its inside
-Sacred Scarf - 6 ft long, charged with a strange energy depicted in glowing white symbols.
Abilities:
-Scarf-based Flight - Fin's strange scarf allows him to float upwards for about 6 seconds. Afterwards, it must be recharged - by itself, it recharges for around 35 seconds, or it may recharge for up to 5 seconds, depending on how close it is to an electric or magnetic field.
-Wanderer's Voice - There is a special addition to Fin's larynx which allows him the use of the Wanderer's Voice - a peculiar way of speech used for operating or activating things. The sound is either a short "chirp", or a drawn-out, chiming "call". It activates any electrical or magical devices within range. The physical range of its effects depends on how loud he calls.
-Quickdraw - Fin's apparent career as a policeman in a vast, booming and violent city has earned him skills similar to a character from a Wild West movie - "Quicker draw and better aim than any crook, as was required of us."
-Bloodhound Snout - Fin's physiology, similar to a canine, allows him an increased sense of smell - a single whiff of the enemy's general stench and he can quickly track them down from a dozen miles away.
-Cat People- Another thing "they had to learn in the academy" was how to move quickly, yet silently and without being seen - similar to a cat. The common Rythulian's small weight helped with that. An addition to their training was how to make the most out of another peculiar part of their physiology - their ability to adjust very well and very quickly to the dark.
Fighting Style: A good cop from Fin's home city would follow a quite militaristic principle - shoot first, ask questions later. Fin takes this principle very seriously, as he always tries his hardest to make absolutely sure to engage at the enemy before they do. In fact, he doesn't even let them attack at all - his basic tactic is to fire all six shots from his gun towards them as rapidly as he can and reload as quickly as his ashy hands can. If available, he will use any nearby electrical or magical device to trap or - in this particular case - kill the crook he is pursuing.
Personality: Fin seems quite stoic, but under the guise of a cold-hearted, robotic policeman only loyal to the concept of law and order lies a surprisingly smart and sensitive man. His greatest fear is failure, which is why he is so extremely diligent in his work. He has always relied on his gut-feeling, seeing as it's seemed to have saved his life numerous times in the past. He always approaches other people with extreme caution and uses short sentences, as he is more used to work-related situations where he could be stabbed at any moment. For this, he keeps a slightly bigger distance than a normal person would and has a tendency to stare, which is something he himself isn't aware of.
Bio: Fin lost most of his memories since his civilization ended abruptly as a result of a Civil War. Although the only life he's ever truly known is that in the Wastes - roaming the sands, visiting ruins and meeting the occasional fellow Wanderer - he does seem to remember small bits of his past life, such as a vast city, his time serving the local police, skills and principles acquired from the police, the city's Law, and a very vague yet specific memory of skyscrapers falling down and collapsing into clouds of dust and smoke, the ear-piercing sounds of guns being fired nearby, the smell of blood, iron and gunpowder, the rumbling feeling of explosive shockwaves and the dead body of someone he feels must've been very important to him. He prefers not to talk or think too much about that particular memory, as it always makes him dizzy when it comes to mind.
Wish: His greatest wish is to not be afraid of failure anymore. He never truly made any friends in the Wastes because of this crippling phobia for failure.
Echo: A pile of ruins inhabited by a small colony of Wanderers, all of them good friends of each other - people he can trust. Around the ruins - a vast, golden sea of sand reflects the light from the sun. Distant silhouettes of more, slightly bigger ruins nearby. In the horizon - a tall, tall mountain with a crack at the very tip of it. The crack emits a beacon of light. A feeling of being beckoned when one looks at the beacon. Additionally, a vague memory of upbeat music from before the Civil War playing in his head.
Appearance:
A younger Fin, several months after the start of his career.
Present-day Fin.
His scarf is scarlet and it is bordered with strips of golden silk. The golden silk glows and symbols appear upon it when in use or when recharging
Frenzy: A black, steaming liquid begins oozing out of Fin's mouth. Cataracts form up on his eyes. He begins rambling about how the opponent is guilty and is sentenced to death.
The black liquid proceeds to slowly consume his body in the form of dark tendrils. He can eject some of it from his mouth. The more his body is consumed, the further he can eject the liquid from his mouth. The black liquid has potent acidic properties, so once it touches an enemy, it causes excruciating pain to them and begins to consume them too. Fin, on the other hand, is unaffected by any pain, although his body still suffers damage. Any wounds inflicted upon him or anyone affected by the liquid makes the consumption quicker.
Once it consumes his scarf, it needs no recharging and he can fly indefinitely. However, the scarf also begins to slowly dissolve.
Once his entire body is consumed, his flesh begins to crack and he can eject more liquid from the cracks.
In hand-to-hand combat, his hands will be able to inflict gruesome wounds, and he will engage in fisticuffs as a last resort.

Upon agreement of Lub and Indra the maker of the character itself. By my statement, this character is Fairy Tail's Gray Fullbuster's level of power in IC regardless if Grant akin to Natsu, still Gray level w/o DeS as well as Ria, both are equally Gray's level of power:
<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>
When in TRUE ONE aka FRENZY STATE, they are ultimately the power level of Devil Slayer Gray that fought E.N.D.
There we go.
Overall it's pretty good. The backstory interested me in particular; as a Christian myself, I am always intrigued by somewhat mythological takes on the whole tradition. There are only two things I would like to have some attention paid to. The first is that I'd like you to make an extra paragraph in the abilities section to discuss the genderbending and how it works. Right now, anyone who would be tasked with playing your character in a duel would undoubtedly be tripped up by its exact mechanics. The second is that the Echo is supposed to be a location, not whatever you have at the moment. Once those changes are done, you'll be able to join.

Although the only life he's ever truly known is that in the Wastes - roaming the sands, visiting ruins and meeting the occasional fellow Wanderer - he does seem to remember small bits of his past life, such as a vast city, his time serving the local police, skills and principles acquired from the police, the city's Law, and a very vague yet specific memory of skyscrapers falling down and collapsing into clouds of dust and smoke, the ear-piercing sounds of guns being fired nearby, the smell of blood, iron and gunpowder, the rumbling feeling of explosive shockwaves and the dead body of someone he feels must've been very important to him. He prefers not to talk or think too much about that particular memory, as it always makes him dizzy when it comes to mind.
Wish: His greatest wish is to not be afraid of failure anymore. He never truly made any friends in the Wastes because of this crippling phobia for failure.
Echo: A pile of ruins inhabited by a small colony of Wanderers, all of them good friends of each other - people he can trust. Around the ruins - a vast, golden sea of sand reflects the light from the sun. Distant silhouettes of more, slightly bigger ruins nearby. In the horizon - a tall, tall mountain with a crack at the very tip of it. The crack emits a beacon of light. A feeling of being beckoned when one looks at the beacon. Additionally, a vague memory of upbeat music from before the Civil War playing in his head.
Appearance:
A younger Fin, several months after the start of his career.
Present-day Fin.
His scarf is scarlet and it is bordered with strips of golden silk. The golden silk glows and symbols appear upon it when in use or when recharging
Frenzy: A black, steaming liquid begins oozing out of Fin's mouth. Cataracts form up on his eyes. He begins rambling about how the opponent is guilty and is sentenced to death.
The black liquid proceeds to slowly consume his body in the form of dark tendrils. He can eject some of it from his mouth. The more his body is consumed, the further he can eject the liquid from his mouth. The black liquid has potent acidic properties, so once it touches an enemy, it causes excruciating pain to them and begins to consume them too. Fin, on the other hand, is unaffected by any pain, although his body still suffers damage. Any wounds inflicted upon him or anyone affected by the liquid makes the consumption quicker.
Once it consumes his scarf, it needs no recharging and he can fly indefinitely. However, the scarf also begins to slowly dissolve.
Once his entire body is consumed, his flesh begins to crack and he can eject more liquid from the cracks.
In hand-to-hand combat, his hands will be able to inflict gruesome wounds, and he will engage in fisticuffs as a last resort.
Inventory: Phylactery
Looks good to me. Go ahead and port it over.

Ah my bad, I hadn't noticed, my apologies.
Also my bad, I'll rewrite it in case the first problem resolves itself, wasn't particularly attached to her backstory really, don't know why I imagined the Crucible was a recurring thing. I'm glad the powers alright though.
Its alright, the characters recycled from an old Rp, only a few elements are new.
Thank you for understanding. Once again, my apologies.

I didn't, but if it's not an NPC, there's nothing for me to do with it, right? Unless you're making a contingency plan way in advance to bring in a second character as a 'spectator' should Ghidorah die in the tournament.

Could've sworn a second character was playable... welp that was all for nothing then. I feel he's more of a playable character than an NPC. Disregard that character then.

Man, looking at all the characters and character concepts has kept me oddly excited for this! Not gonna lie, usually I don't stay on hype trains for very long but I'm still really looking forward to this! I've been running through matchups in my head for like the last three days, and some of them are downright hilarious.
Speaking of hype-trains and obvious segues, anyone else excited for Shadow of War?
