[OOC] The Corpse-Grinder! (New Tournament)

[Nafear]

The Corpse-Grinder
You are all gathered from from different realities and time-lines. This individuals are prominent individuals in their own respective dimensions and universes. You are collected by an entiety simply known as “The Mutilator.' The cosmic representation of violence formed from the negative energy of all.It brought you here to the Nexus, it seeks to quench it's palette with blood and need for violence at the highest level. It gathers all walks of life and by pitting only the most capable combatants against each other for it's own twisted blood-sport. The goal is simply survival of the stronest indivudual! With the ultimate grand prize on the line. / Surviving till the next round becauseonly one competitor can walk away with their life!

Welcome to the Murderous Magnificent!The Corpse-Grinder!

The Location
In middle of the the Nexus of Realities floats the arena in which all will be competing. The fighting platform is triangular in shape the arena and is approximately 300 feet in it's area.
The flooring is made from ancient stone created and left behind by the“Original.”. The Stone is incapable of being moved or manipulated as willed b The Mutilator.Alien Plant-life make up the shrubbery and few trees that adorn this area. Yet, the bio-logy of the foliage is truly disturbing. The fruit of the Trees are reminiscent of screaming human heads. The trunk is made of rotting human flesh and the branches are instead replaces with pieces of a reconnected menagerie of skeletal remains. The shrubbery of the arena are merely an assorted patchwork of sharpened canine teeth. The area is protected by a dome of the screaming souls of murdered victims of various realities. This arena is one of many and are connected side by side obscured by the wall of shrieking essence barrier making it impossible to communicate with the outside world or other contestants.

This is going to be an active competition! As such all forum rules apply. My co-judge will be annoucned if there is genuine active interest in this.

Matches will be fought 1 vs one and are Single-Elimination

II would prefer to keep it Mid-ter levels of power as that can be explained and is easier for me to track.

Forbidden Abilities & Equipment

Light Manipulation
The ability to focus light for use as attacks. Since it travels extremly faster (Quicker then the Sound), Light based attacks woudld be akin to an auto-hit simply due to how fast it can travel also without the proper equipment would be undetectable..

Mass-Destruction
Nuclear, radiological, chemical, biological or other weapon that can kill a vast amount of people in ant instant and bring significant harm to large number of humans or cause great damage to human-made structures, natural structures, or the biosphere. In closing mass destrucion weapons present a almost completely instantious method of victory. While devestating techniques are harder to determine. Weapons and techniques that are massivly destructive using for example: Nuclear war heads can and in most situations provide a win or force a draw due it's blast radius.

Telepathy
Psychic abilities that allow the the user to predict the actions of others and potentially uttilze out Out-Of-Character knowledge against their opponent. Knowledge they would not otherwise possess. This also covers such techniques such as mentally attacking an individual which is akin to auto-hitting for the user is usually not defended against easily.

Reality Maniplation
Users can create, change, destroy, or even alter the fabric of reality. Wbile their are varying degress of theis ability one can make changes from nothing. Depending on the power of a reality warper, they may alter something as tangible. The ability to bend reality it;s user's will and create or will things into existence will not be permitted here simply due to the nature of the ability and how abusive it can be.

Teleportation
The instantainous transportation of matter from one space to another. Due to the ability to use this ability both offensively and defensivelyis unquestionally ripe with abusive potential. Traveling faster than the eye can see or traveling as a form of energy are acceptable quasi-forms of this ability as it is lost over time and distance.

Time Alteration.
The ability to manipulate, slow down or accelerate time. Allowing a user to peform feats like reversing a fully grown adult into an infant or speeding up time to render an infant into an elderly individual for examples. This ability also covers halting time to turn an attack into an auto-hit or kill.

Substation
The act of replacing a user with another person or an animate object to avoid attacks.

Sitting in middle of the the Nexus of Realities sits the arena in which all will be competing. The fighting platform is triangular in shape the arena and is approximately 300 feet in it's area.

Disclaimer: Certain things may change in the Forbidden section or updates might be made for the finaly product. Until then I figured it would get more attention here. Sorry if that russles any jimmies.

[Serious Face]

Edit-Ignore this, I thought this was an interest check. I do have a character in mind for this though.

[Doc Doctor]

Finally a tournament. Been looking forward to using Ol' Donny again. Here's my app.

First-Degree Donny

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”

-Sun Tzu

Name: Donovan Booth
Alias: "First-Degree" Donny
Age: 36
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 165 pounds
Race: Human
Alignment: True Neutral



Appearance: A slight but sturdy man with scarce eyebrows, a baby-face, sunken green eyes, a porn stache, and sprayed back ginger hair. He almost always sports a languid grin and frequently wears black pants and dress shoes with suspenders and black gloves, in addition to a dark trench coat or overcoat. He's a big fan of ties and speaks with a nasally Downeast accent.



Weapons and Equipment-

-The weight of his combined personal gear is around thirty-five pounds, discounting the clothes and satchel. His suspenders help distribute and relieve the weight of his equipment.

-Customised Model M513 Raging Judge Magnum revolver with a titanium firing cylinder and a Mernickle quick draw holster worn on the thigh. The rifling of the barrel, the cylinder tapering, and the frame are modified in a manner reminiscent of the Smith & Wesson Model 460XVR, to accommodate high speed .460 Magnum rounds. Put simply, the most powerful six round revolver on the planet. Donny carries three .45 Colt 325 grain Buffalo Bore moon clips, three .454 Casull XTP Hornady clips, three .454 Hornady jacketed hollow point clips, and three .460 Magnum 200 grain DPX Cor-Bon clips. His suspender straps are stocked with six of each individual bullet type. The hammer of the Magnum is modified to allow for fanning as a faster alternative to the double-action function.

-Unfiltered Camel soft pack cigarettes.

-Zippo lighter.

-A roll of quarters.

-Fake police inspector badge.

-A flask of purified lamp oil.

-Digital recorder preset with several two-hour tracks, including pained sounds, occasional coughing and snorting, casual and serious phone conversations, a muffled voice, muffled whimpering, and whistling.

-A custom high powered 28,000,000 volt, 10 milliamp Runt stun gun holstered at his left side.

-Belt buckle knife.

-Set of steel cord handcuffs secured to the front of his belt and two spare keys. One key is stitched into his overcoat on the right side and the other is stitched into his left pants pocket.

-Trench coat with holes in the pockets and razorblades stitched into the collar. His shirt has razors in the collar as well.

-A black hearse fitted with bullet-proof black windows, tires and paneling, an electric 300 horsepower induction motor, and xenon flood lights. Goes from 0-60 in 2.7 seconds, makes very little noise compared to gas engine vehicles, and accelerates backwards as fast as it can go forwards.

-A modified X800 ShadowHawk flashlight secured to his belt on the left side. It has a custom tactical rail attached, and can be connected to the top of the Magnum's barrel or to the MP5.

-A gas compression ballistic knife with a snap button sheath secured vertically to his right suspender, with the hilt pointing downwards. Has an effective range of 6 meters and travels at 42 mph.

-Silenced QBZ-95-1 machine gun with two 60-round magazines, utilizing hollow points. This is kept in his car.

-Modified UTAS UTS-15 automatic shotgun with flash suppressor, silencer, and 32 round drum. Kept in a unique zipper satchel that Donny frequently wears slung over his back.

-.950 JDJ rifle with four rounds, one always being loaded. This 85 pound gun is kept in the back of Donny's van, which is usually nearby. Comes with a scope.

-Five pull-pin grenades with welded on rings (for ring clips) and optional tripwires, typically stored on the belt. One MK3 concussion grenade, two M67 fragmentation grenades, one M18 smoke grenade, and one M-14 napalm grenade.

-Six inch switchblade in his pocket. It has a ring clip at the hilt base.

-A white handkerchief and a one ounce aerosol bottle of cyanide, disguised as nose spray.

-Customized retractable high-density golf club made just for braining folks holstered at his belt. It has a ring clip at the hilt base.

-Twenty-five foot razor sharp microfilament garrote wire reel concealed within a wristwatch that can be withdrawn via clip ring. It's almost invisible to the naked eye, as light as a spider's web, sharp enough to cut through bone with effort, and can withstand up to 2,300 pounds of tension without breaking. Donny can control how much is extracted and retracted with the interface of his watch. He can also remove the wire spool from the watch at a moment's notice.

-Spring loaded five-inch knives within the heels and toes of his shoes that will jut out when a switch on the instep is triggered. The soles of his shoes are padded with rubber to muffle his steps.

-Pair of insulated quarter-pound S.A.P black combat gloves weighted with lead. They are fashioned from a high density polymer that can resist being cut by the garrote wire.

-A heavy duty bullet proof vest that can stop even the largest of slugs.

-Can of FOX military grade pepper spray holstered at his belt.

-Portable six inch shaving mirror on his belt.

-Four adhesive bombs, which can be remotely detonated via digital watch or set with a timer. Each bomb contains enough TNT to scrap a minivan. Three are kept in his car, and he keeps one on his person.

















Physical Abilities/Skills: Donny looks like a geeky dad, the kind of embarrassing adult that could be found doing jumping jacks in neon dolphin shorts down at the local YMCA. This is a strength. Hardly anyone ever suspects just how obscenely dangerous he really is. As a former Green Beret, he diligently trains to stay in peak condition and is a grandmaster of unconventional warfare, as well as an expert on improvised, civilian, and military weaponry. He's a world class gunslinger with a level of manual dexterity and slight of hand most often attributed to master street magicians. Donny's extremely deceptive, excelling in both acting and psychological warfare, in addition to having a eidetic memory combined with a formidable spatial sense. In layman's terms, he fights dirty and abuses any advantages without hesitation. Concealed weaponry, surprise attacks, anything goes. His unwarranted ruthlessness alone is enough take most opponents off guard. His go-to solution for any troublemaker is an immediate and untelegraphed bullet to the skull.

He has over eighteen years of experience in combat as an elite professional killer, with at least 172 confirmed kills in Pakistan alone. Though he is a capable hand-to-hand fighter, he by far prefers mid-range firefights. He is a true "dead eye" with his selected firearms, and can hit a bottle cap at ninety-one meters with his Magnum revolver, the weapon he favors above all others. Such is his skill with the gun that he can fire off all six shots in less than a second by fanning the hammer, whilst still maintaining near-perfect accuracy. For reference as to the revolver's power, the .45 Colt slugs can put a one inch hole through a steel cooking pan at mid-range. The Casull rounds travel at Mach 1.7 and need but a single shot to take down an African bull elephant. The Casull hollow points can reduce a wild boar's innards to custard. The .460 Magnum rounds travel at Mach 2, easily faster than even .500 and .600 bullets, and can vaporize a human head as if it were a rotten cabbage.



At close range with the automatic shotgun, Donny can empty the drum and turn a human into hamburger in about as much time than it takes for the body to hit the ground. His secret weapon, the .950 JDJ rifle, fires a bullet with over nineteen tons of force per square foot.
It can literally shoot through schools.



Personality: Donny is best described as an unfettered man. He does what he wants, when he wants, only to further his own goals. He is entirely unchained by morality or the legal system, which he holds in contempt. He follows orders only because he likes having something to do, and what he likes to do is kill. Killing is who he is, short and simple. As long as there is violence in the distance he will allow others to give him direction, for a price.
He's outrageously crafty and as mean as an Arizona rattler, albeit with a nigh unbreechable calmness some would call detachment, though on an emotional level he's wholly into his job. He merely has an excellent poker face and never allows himself into a situation that he hasn't complete control over. He's an adrenaline junkie that gets his fix any way he can, primarily by way of murder, but also by driving like a complete maniac, playing games with law enforcement, and committing acts of terrorism. He's socially passable by modern standards, but has no qualms about being a public nuisance. He's quite skilled at being annoying, and uses it as a tool to pick fights. He enjoys smoking, but only does so before and after a kill.
He likes taking first-class rides at the airport, drinking black coffee, making faces at children, and visiting strip clubs.



Background: When a young Donny was first asked himself what he wanted to be when he grew up, he found that he could answer the question immediately. He didn't think he was going to be a killer, he knew it as a fact. He was born to be bad, and bad to the bone at that. He had a typical psychopath's childhood. He was born in Bangor, Maine, his father a U.S Marine, his mother a sickly stay at home wife, and his uncle a pedophile. Not that his uncle made a difference, for Donny had made up his mind to be a killer long before being abused. He was often unsupervised, and frequently engaged in less than saintly activities. Teachers were astounded at his strange combination of emotional maturity and blatant lack of morals. He quickly learned how to make them think he was a swell kid. In his youth he won several national marksman championships, a regular Annie Oakley. As soon as he was old enough, he joined the military. He was good at what he did, to say the least. He became a Green Beret and served Special Forces in Pakistan and Egypt. He was given a dishonorable discharge for endangerment of human life, various human rights violations, and countless civil misdemeanors. It was during his being stationed in Libya that he was stuck with the nickname of "First-Degree" Donny, after fully destroying three villages with a MIL MI-24 gunship, taking advantage of the commanding officer's wording of orders and forcing the malfunction of his own headset. After his discharge, he settled into Las Vegas.
There he found quick work as a crime syndicate hit man that dispatched anyone who filched on their gambling debts, seizing their assets for himself along with 20-40% of however much money they owed to his employers, plus expenses. Obviously his reputation decreased business, but it was a simple matter for the higher ups to conceal his involvement in many of the deaths. The consistency of his work easily made up for any gamblers he slew or scared away by proxy.



Whenever he wasn't popping filchers, he was taking up hits. Assassinations of all kinds were welcome. He grew into the role of an underworld grim reaper, dreaded to such an extend that the Mafia dared not to double-cross him. Even the local police, to avoid mass casualties, decided to simply stay out of his way. The way they saw it, no possible confrontation with him could result in anything less than a catastrophe rivaling 9/11. The Feds were only called in once, and never again after having eight dozen of their own slaughtered in an incident so brutally embarrassing, it was wiped from the records and in Donny's place a patsy was tossed to the dogs, the failure so complete that a cover-up was the only way to preserve the public's respect for the government. The police have since avoided investigating too deeply into any murder scene where unfiltered Camel cigarette butts are found. After the massacre Donny became the founder of "K9" (Killer Nine), a team of expert killers feared throughout the country. K9's been proven able to kill anyone, anywhere, within a week regardless of their location or importance. Perhaps it's fortunate that nobody who has thus far asked them to kill the president has had enough money to pay for the job.

I'd be glad to have ya both!

[Glass]

I would be interested in joining as well... Though, I would need someone to examine my character and give me an idea at what tier she sits at. I designed her currently to rest at the lower end, though can make the necessary adjustments to her equipment and augmentations to bring her up to par with the setting. Just let me know:

Aleigha Thrope

Detailed Descriptions:
Feigh’Druma: By most standards, the Feigh’Druma are among the most ancient of races. Yet, their existence was not fully realized until well after the initiation of their creation. Children of a lost god, the Feigh’Druma were held in a state of temporal flux, preventing them from materializing within the realm alongside their would-be contemporaries. Centuries passed before Flete, the descendent of that lost god, stumbled upon the Feigh’Druma, who were carefully tucked away in the furthest depths of reality.
Though retrieving the Feigh’Druma from the secured vault left behind by his ancestor was no easy task, Flete was determined to succeed. The price, however, was a permanent, albeit subtle temporal instability within the Feigh’Druma themselves. Nevertheless, Flete graced the Feigh’Druma with the slender, elegant features of his own children, the Elves, and set about the feat of establishing them within the mortal realms.
The Feigh’Druma are nomadic by nature. What they lack in physical numbers they make up for in lifespan and survivability. Though technically the last of the mortal races to be created by the Trinity and their protégés, the Feigh’Druma, or Silver Fae, are the longest lived. Compared to their Elven cousins, the Feigh’Druma are physically stronger, though arguably less dexterous. Additionally, they boast a greater depth of endurance. Although not necessarily supernatural for their own kind, the Feigh’Druma do possess several innate abilities that set them apart from the larger, human population of their world.
Feigh’Druma are physically characterized by their pale, subtly gray-toned skin and elven features. Their hair is consistently gray, with the ends a shimmering silver. Feigh’Druma eye color ranges from soft blue, to an equally pale lavender and in rare cases are flecked with gold. Feigh’Druma dress is often simple, light, and ultimately designed for maneuverability. Jewelry is sparsely worn, bar clips in their hair and the occasional charm on a necklace or bracelet – of which many possess magickal qualities.
((Feigh’Druma Racial Traits)) ((Tepryll Sight)) ((Feigh’Druma Magick))

Physical Appearance: All things considered, Aleigha Thrope is average for her kind. She stands just south of five foot five, sporting a toned build that compliments the Feigh’Druma’s otherwise slender physique. The Silver Fae’s face is soft, with gentler features than one might expect from a seasoned combatant. Her hair falls only past her shoulders; silver tips a glimmering reminder of the Feigh’Druma ancestry. Aleigha’s eyes are pale lavender, flecks of muted gold breaking up the otherwise flawless coloring.
Aleigha’s attire is overall simple. Wrappings of various gray tones conceal most of her torso, arms, and hands, while loose fitted pants conceal her legs, tucking away in a pair of worn leather boots. Clips of gold manage the Silver Fae’s hair to some extent, while a vibrant sapphire stone hangs from a slender, and deceivingly brittle silver chain. A set of soft belts loop around Aleigha’s waist, from which a strangely ornate sword hangs on her right. Small daggers, along with a few vials filled with liquids of varying colors and a set of pouches occupy the remaining space of each belt.
Although unseen for the most part, the occasional glint of something metallic can be seen beneath the gray of Aleigha’s hair, running behind the back of her left ear.

History (Abbreviated): Aleigha is an enigma among many. While her past is not necessarily shrouded in secrecy, she essentially has two separate lives. One is that of Aleigha Thrope, eldest daughter of a merchant family on a world diligently crafted by the hands of the Trinity. For nearly half of her life Aleigha spent her time on the familiar roads, surrounded by swords and sorcery.
While the Tepryll Sight is a gift all Feigh'Druma possess, Aleigha's was something unique. This uniqueness eventually drew the attention of Orion, an organization which the Silver Fae could only comprehend as mythological in nature upon their first encounter. After nearly two years of repeated encounters, Aleigha was transported from the world she called home to the facility that she now operates from on a daily basis.
Sixty years with Orion has taught Aleigha many things. Trained in conventional martial arts, infiltration, a variety of weapons, she has become something and someone else entirely. Her time with Orion has surprisingly left her mostly unchanged, at least in physical appearance. Recent developments in a variety of technologies based solely around the Feigh'Druma's temporal instability has lead Aleigha to a more active role in many of Orion's operations - which has only further expanded her knowledge of the multiverse in which she exists.

Personality: ((For now, this is yet to be determined. Will be completed once Aleigha has shown who she is through a few interactions))

Miscellaneous:

Equipment:
Saiph MK-I: Though still in the early stages of development, Saiph is nevertheless a masterfully crafted longsword. Presently, only one system is active, designed for the purpose to test the weapon's ability to store and release kinetic energy. While there are developments being made on the absorption of various types of energy, Orion felt the kinetic capacitor was the only one ready for field testing. By appearance alone, Saiph is unassuming, though elegant. Slight larger in length and width than that of a typical longsword, Saiph is among the most resilient of Orion's weapons. Crafted to withstand extended use and incredible punishment, the longsword has long been a loyal companion to Aleigha over the last six decades. However, only in the last three years has Orion moved to implement further modifications to the weapon, such as the recently approved Kinetic Absorption Nodes and Kinetic Release Prism.
((Total Length: 44.25"))((Blade Length: 36.75"))((Weight: 2.7 Pounds))
-Kinetic Absorption Nodes: Orion prides itself in retaining the aesthetic appeal of most everything they seek to modify. Often this means creating a device that will ultimately impact the visual appeal of a weapon or other such piece of equipment minimally. The Kinetic Absorption Nodes are no exception to this rule. Fitted along the section that connects blade and guard, the nodes appear as little more than ornate pearls on an otherwise black and steel backdrop.
Numbering six in total, three on either side of the blade, the nodes function with a singular purpose. Over time, as Saiph’s blade vibrates with the movement and impacts common during any form of combative engagement, the nodes absorb a fraction of that kinetic energy. As the stored kinetic energy begins to increase, each node shifts subtly in color. When the reserves are depleted, the nodes look pearlescent. As they begin to climb in stored energy, they turn a subtle green. Only once the nodes have taken on a much richer emerald tone is there enough to the Kinetic Release Prism to use.
Presently, Orion has limited the capacity of the Kinetic Absorption Nodes to two levels – Emerald and Sapphire. However, only the Emerald stage has actually be lab tested.
-Kinetic Release Prism: Originally designed to be an all-purpose device with the ability to not only release a variety of different energies, but also shape them in an equally endless number of ways, the Release Prism was eventually solely designated to function with stored Kinetic energy alone. Running the length of the blade, the Kinetic Release Prism is housed snugly within the center of the masterfully crafted sword. Presently, the prism acts as a means of releasing stored kinetic energy from the nodes at the bottom of the blade itself. With the overall success of the EL-001 test, Orion felt a field test would be better suited to further examine the present release levels of the device.
While the Kinetic Release Prism is able to trigger at low levels of stored kinetic energy, the device was designed to function at specific intervals. That is, until further data has been accumulated through extensive combat exercises. These intervals, classified as Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby, and Obsidian allow for not only increased control over the form in which the kinetic energy can be released, but additionally the strength and overall damage that can be done with that energy.
Presently, Orion has limited the Kinetic Release Prism to the Emerald and Sapphire levels – though only the Emerald stage of release has been lab tested.
-Emerald: At this stage, the prism is designed to release the energy with limited input from the wielder. Presently, an Emerald level release projects a kinetic field that briefly extends the length of Saiph’s blade to twice that of its original size. The blade itself does not physical elongate, but rather a shimmering emerald energy extends over the weapon’s blade and projects outward, retaining the same flawless, frighteningly sharp edge as the weapon’s physical blade. There is no notable or measurable change to the weapon’s overall weight, and the prism provides not only the form of the projected energy, but also maintains the solid state. A release of this level only functions for a brief period of time, but is also the quickest to be obtained.
-Sapphire: Having not yet seen to test this level of release, Orion only has an initial concept for what a Sapphire level release was meant to do. Unlike the Emerald stage of kinetic release, the Sapphire stage was designed to provide a means to project the kinetic energy off the blade similar to that of an arrow – or more accurately, a low-caliber firearm. The eventual hope is to increase the projectile's size, speed, and perhaps number of projectiles depending on the amount of energy being released.

Saiph

Seg Plating (Seedling): Still in the earliest stages of development, Orion’s Seg Plating is something of a trial and error system. Using what has been designated as Seeds implanted beneath the skin, Orion hopes to achieve what will ideally be the most maneuverable and durable form of armor plating they have ever created. Neural signals activate the Seeds, which immediately begin to rapidly “sprout” segmented plates of scale-like armor across the surface of the skin.
Every plate is made up of countless microscopic machines, designed to generate a field that dampens the impact of outside forces. Though the applications of these machines can be countless, Orion has focused entirely on maintaining maneuverability while reducing the overall damage a wearer takes. Future designs hope to include automatic repair systems and shielding devices to prevent a variety of projectiles from reaching their mark.

Temporal Capacitor (Alpha): Designed to accompany the unique nature of the Feigh’Druma’s temporal instability, the Temporal Capacitor has only one present goal – to provide Aleigha a means to be transported from one location to another, regardless of time and distance. Presently Orion has not sought to implement further modifications to the capacitor for combat purposes, as the device takes some time to charge. ((Purely aesthetic and story-based at this time))

Feigh’Lyt Charm: Among all of the technology, Aleigha’s Feigh’Lyt Charm appears quite out of place. Literally translating to Fairy Light, the charm itself is unremarkable in the context of the Feigh’Druma people. However, despite that, the jewelry still has a unique power.
The Feigh’Lyt crystal naturally absorbs light and stores it within the core of whatever shape the stone has been crafted into. With a mere whisper, the stone emits a dim illumination, allowing the Feigh’Druma wearer to make ready use of their natural abilities to see in incredibly dim lighting.

Miscellaneous: Covers most basic equipment Aleigha may have on her during any particular mission away from Orion’s base of operation, items that would fall in this category will be detailed in the initial post and limited by number, along with common sense.

Powers & Abilities:
Feigh’Druma Racial Traits: Feigh’Druma possess a number of traits that are, for the most part, unique to them. While some of these traits are shared with their elven cousins, and some are general in their nature, others require more detail and are thusly further explained in their own section. Otherwise, the following explanation of Feigh’Druma racial traits is an overview of their inherent physical and metaphysical capabilities.
Feigh’Druma, while not as nimble as their elven cousins, do possess heightened reflexes. What they lack in dexterity and likewise physical strength, they make up for in overall endurance. Nomadic by nature, Feigh’Druma are very capable of surviving extreme conditions and adapting unnervingly quick to a variety of external forces of nature. Additionally, Feigh’Druma have keen eyesight, able to see quite a bit clearer at far ranges than most others. They likewise are able to see incredibly well with only a minute amount of illumination present.
All Feigh’Druma possess some form of Magick. For the most part, this is limited to a select number of conjurations, of which typically revolve around light and divination. Feigh’Druma also have what they call the Tepryll Sight, which grants them something akin to some precognitive abilities – though to what extent differs depending on the individual and the effect is erratic at best. In essence, the Tepryll Sight gives most Feigh’Druma a sort of six sense.

Feigh’Druma Magick: While most all Feigh’Druma possess some form of Magick, not all Feigh’Druma possess the same Magick. In Aleigha’s case, her Magick uniquely falls within the realm of revealing what is hidden. Often, this is done through a sort of shimmering coat of what appears to be condensed energy, closely resembling stars. However, only Aleigha is able to see this revealing Magick for it’s true purpose, while others may only see a glittery, formless mist spreading across a given area. While this particular talent as a number of applications, presently Orion has only briefly considered augmenting Aleigha’s natural inclination toward Magick – favoring instead her physical attributes.

Tepryll Sight: All Feigh’Druma possess what they call the Tepryll Sight. Born from their innate temporal instability, the Tepryll Sight is something of a gift and curse for the Silver Fae. On occasion, a Feigh’Druma may experience something akin to a ‘skip’ in time, wherein they get a glimpse of the future. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes there may be simply a sense of something, a pressure against the skin like someone grabbing their wrist, or the sensation of being pulled to the ground by something much larger than them. The reason behind this is all the same, as they are all connected to the temporal instability that resides within the Feigh’Druma.
Few Feigh’Druma can claim control over the Tepryll Sight, of which Aleigha is not one. For the most part, no Silver Fae can truly gauge the amount of time they have experienced ‘skipping,’ or when whatever they felt happen physically to them might actually happen. However, centuries of experiencing these events have given most Feigh’Druma an occasional insight into what may come and allow them a subtle edge of preparation over what could potentially be a dangerous situation.

Orion Augmentations (Alpha Stage): Nearly every agent Orion has in reserve is augmented by some measure. Aleigha was spared such augmentations until such an event occurred where Orion felt physically modifying the Silver Fae’s natural capabilities was unavoidable. Like most everything Aleigha is equipped with currently, her augmentations are in the earliest stages of development.
Orion chose to focus on strength, with only a slight magnification to Aleigha’s natural dexterity and endurance. Doing so allows Aleigha to be on par with most otherworldly creatures who boast characteristics focused on physical might. While there are plans to further enhance Aleigha’s physical capabilities, along with implement an accelerated form of healing, Orion felt doing so without proper field tests would be in poor form.

[Mobius]

In risk of killing another tournament: Will brackets be randomly generated this time?

[Nafear]

Of course! I will be using challenge.com, Devil.

As for characters, I will review them in a few moments and edit this post when I am done.

EDIT: Doc your entry is fine. Glass, I especially worried about your character's pre-cognative Magical sight. This is is especially abusive. Since I would rule these abilities if used abusively would give you an extreme advantage. This advantage is especially devastating to different types of attack meta. Since you would be able to act to counter your opponent based on magical danger sense. I would prefer you re-construct this character. If you need any ideas or assistance please feel free to PM me.

[Glass]

@Nafear,

I appreciate the concern. Although I am new to this site, I am familiar (extensively so) with the concept of playing within the realm of reason and fairness. Please note that in the description of that particular ability, I detail that Aleigha is not capable of controlling the Tepryll Sight. Additionally, I did remark that it takes centuries for most Feigh'Druma to even be able to obtain occasional insight into what may come and use that insight accordingly, and Aleigha is only just over a century old. Nevertheless, I can understand where you are coming from - ultimately you would be taking a chance with any one individual entering your tournament to play fairly, regardless of the abilities or equipment their respective character may have. I have done enough judging between combatants to know that there are some fairly wild instances that sprout up seemingly out of thin air. Will the initial post reflect your decision to eliminate any form of precognitive ability, for future reference?

In any case, I appreciate you taking the time to look over my character. I have no intention of persuading you to adjust your opinion here - despite pointing out specific details that may help do just that. Aleigha is simply a character I spent more than a few hours on... And her aesthetic is what appeals to me more than anything, and I fear changing anything may impact that negatively. If you decide to stick to your guns, I do not fault you. I just do not have the time right now to build a new character. Though, if you do drum up enough interest, I would be happy to offer my time to assist you in judging!

Can I make a suggestion? I say that as though I'm asking, I know, feigned niceties and all, but I'm just gonna throw this out there. This is an alternate plane of existence. There is absolutely no time or fate here, not as most living things would understand the notions anyway, literally the strings that connect the ephemeral makeup of the metaphysical universe do not apply in the killing fields. There are trees with flesh and bone, and toothed bushes growing in this place, and a literal immovable stone, "floor," throughout the arena which, so far as I can tell, makes up the entirety of the, "base," of the realm which, lo and behold, has an impassible ceiling of the wailing souls of the lost and damned. Why I write this, and if it sounds befuddled I apologize, a strange work schedule and days off that I wouldn't normally have had have really stressed my regular sleep patterns, is because there is no reason to think that an inherent temporal lapse, let alone the passing at best ability to read and utilize it to time skip effectively in combat, would carry the same weight here as it would on a plane following the regular ebbs and flows of the river of time. Tepryll Sight can for legitimate plot reasons simply not work in a place like this, similar to how we have all clearly ignored the fact that any planeswalker, such as say Aleigha equipped with her temporal capacitor, or as far as I can tell the majority of the arena characters on this site who have repeatedly shown that they have no qualms with simply wandering through the multiverse, could literally just leave and return to their own little home planes in any place following the, "normal," laws of the metaphysical universe. I mean, @Doc Doctor and myself once had a fight between his Runescape character, and my not Runescape inspired Gnomish robot Billuh Bob Gnome in a pro wrestling ring in the modern day Florida Everglades with half of the cast of the WWE in attendance without any justification for our characters having been in that reality whatsoever. Not to mention, having lurked on this sub forum for about a year now, I know that if you want to have an actually functional bracket someone with @Glass's talents cannot be turned away, I mean, anyone who uses the terms, 'Fae,' and, 'magick,' correctly is clearly a pro. On the other hand, @Nafear, if I get to play Old Man Willakers you can do what you will with the jimmies. Oh, I guess this means I'm competing. Expect a character within the next twenty four hours or so.

@Nafear

This is a tough one for me. The character that first sprouts into my mind to use is an earlier version of my superhuman samurai, Claine. However, I used him multiple rounds in a tournament hosted on another site so I'm a bit uninspired to use him atm. With that in mind I may create a new character from scratch. If I can come up with one I’m satisfied with by the deadline I’d be down to join but if not I would be more than glad to lend a hand as a judge. I can discuss my judging philosophy to you in private to try to develop an official method for the tournament if you like.

Also in regards to power levels are we talking Jedi level abilities or are things like Elemental manipulation allowed? Despite often taking more of a SciFi approach to my characters had the idea for something that I think would be more appealing to an outside crowd and the path I chose is a mythological creature/human hybrid. I quickly conjured up the concept for a Dullahan who is adept in Agnikinesis. Essentially his ability to manipulate flames is only limited to his imagination when molding the element but I fear he may be too strong. It’s kind of a slippery slope when attempting to scale for this tournament in particular in terms of power.

@Nafear@Glass

If I may give my input, I'd say that the temporal sight seems very reasonable. It states that she can't really control when it occurs, so perhaps @Nafear could roll a six-sided die every time an opponent attacks @Glass, and if it lands on the number she picked she can get a glimpse of the future.

[Liaison]

Yikes Dice. I've always felt that is a little too luck based. It's either the ability can be used or not. I feel like if an ability is used unfairly to essentially metagame (Which I don't believe she intends to use it for) it should just simply be weighed against the person in the judgment process. No harm done.

@Doc Doctor

Fights don't tend to last that long. She'd maybe get to use it once if she is lucky. If that isn't your intent, I'd suggest a 4-sided die.

[Glass]

@Doc Doctor, I definitely would not mind going in that direction in @Nafear felt better about doing something along those lines. Additionally, @Liliya is correct about where this entire tournament is taking place. There is no reason that the ability could just not function - it really would have zero impact on Aleigha's overall performance, considering that she does not rely on the ability as something to give her any sort of reliable advantage in combat.

I was even talking to my wife last night... Because there is no control, Aleigha could feel overwhelming heat in one situation (or fight), but nothing with fire actually spring up until the next. The "skip" in time is rarely a set number of minutes or seconds... Could be hours, sometimes even days. It really is mostly for aesthetics and the occasional plot point during a fight... If anything.

In any case... Can't detect sarcasm from @Liliya or not... For much the same reasons of my sleep schedule being all kinds of flubbed up. Though the overall support is very appreciated!

@Doc Doctor

Or how about remove it altogether. Her character can't control when it happens but the author does, and it is always used to sense a fiegn danger when someone is out of position. It's just meta-game.

@Glass

No, no sarcasm intended. I basically learned how to write from a roleplayer who was from a WoD Masquerade background who used, "Fae," rather than fairy and, "magick," rather than magic, and now do the same myself. I now have a headcannon that you're the same person, so yeah, if I start talking like I know you write it off as me being forgetful of what decade this is.

@Nafear I am seriously torn between writing my DvZ OC (which is something I've wanted to roleplay, like, for years) a cs because of your jimmies comment, or actually putting out something that can compete with the current two characters, both of whom would clearly smash a dwarf with a shortbow. Decisions, decisions... ^_^;

@Devil

You don't remove things altogether from characters if you can help it. That's a part of her identity, of who she is as Feigh'Druma. You wouldn't take Lara Croft's ability to shoot, but if the story or fight scene required her to be unable to shoot for impact or storyline reasons you can always ensure that she lost the guns somewhere along the way before the melee started off. In that way nothing about her was changed, and the story can move forward true to her as a character and with the ability to, well, have a melee like all proper action films seem to require. Easier, and more true to her character to say that because this is clearly not following the same general metaphysical notions generally observed in most places in the multiverse, time is simply not flowing the same here as it normally would elsewhere, remove the ability that way, and move forward with the combat in a fashion in keeping with who Aleigha is as a Fae.

[Glass]

@Devil, while I appreciate the suggestion, I have no intention of removing anything I have taken the time to craft on Aleigha. As I pointed out in my reply back to @Nafear, I enjoy the aesthetic of this character, and the power in question applies to that aesthetic just as much as anything else on the character sheet. I have no qualms with you, or anyone else for that matter being concerned about this being an abusive or "meta-game" power. You are by all rights within you right to feel that way. I have seen those instances myself... Even fallen victim to them. Regardless, I am always of the opinion to trust first that whoever I am pitted against will act within the realm of fairness and reason with any one piece of equipment or any one particular ability their character possesses. Do I expect others to be of this same mindset...? Hardly, as we all have our own experience with this sort of situation.

@Liliya, WoD... That is something I have not heard in a really, really long time. The support, again, is appreciated! And well, if you do talk to me like we are old friends, I will likely just respond in kind... Probably won't even notice!

[Liliya]

@Glass I haven't played in years, either. In the spirit of the game, I know what I'm doing for a character, though. I'll dedicate it to an old friendship and a new one with someone who is probably not the same person.
