[OOC] Champions of Sparta

T H I S   I S   S P A R T A . . .
Spartans are warriors, and value the beauty of Strength above all other virtues. In Sparta, when a child comes of age he is sent to the Agoge, a brutal school where they are taught to dominate, to kill, and to survive. This arena takes place in a special year. The king has declared a tournament in honor of the graduation class of the Agoge. Those who are young and wild will fight to determine the strongest among them. But also, those who are Veterans, Champions, Gladiators, or Civilians may fight to test their might against each other to become the next warrior of whom legends are written and songs are sung.







There will be tournament bracket for those who want to participate, expect it to be double elimination. The reward for winning the tournament is elevating your created hero to that of a seasoned champion and therefore adding 10 points to all stats!! Winners are decided by the GM until a panel of an uneven number of judges is able to vote on the winner.

Fights are going to be split up into how many posts you get to make before the fight is over.

These stats are for narrative purposes; instead of there being a very black and white application of the numbers, you are responsible for incorporating the stat into your fight, and the round judge is able to use the stats to judge an outcome of a disputed action. This system works intuitively, so if it feels like it makes sense to you, then it should make sense to everyone.__________________
