[OOC] 8 Man Knockout Tournament (brawlers)

[Dolerman]

Ok this is the sign up part of the tournament, there will be 8 spots available, if there are any more joining they will be kept as reserves in case someone else drops out.
Here are the rules

1. Full CS must be posted in the OOC, there will be no CS template just post your CS how you normally would with sufficient detail, especially with your characters abilities, personality and backstory are optional.

2. All players must use characters that are Tier 2.5 or less, this roughly scales the power level as 'peak human with a bit of room to do something very unlikey'

3. Depending on the round and match up I will decide whether there will be guns/firearms melee weapons or unaramed combat allowed. This will force you character to keep versatile in ever changning conditions.

4. I have been told the style of RP combat we will be using is T1, which is what I have always used as the 'standard' arena combat system. (no auto hitting, unrealistic actions time frames, very limited healing etc).

5. All the characters will be in the IC at once, even when not fighting, this allows the non fighting participants to interact with each other while watching the current fight.

6. CS approval is first come, first serve till we have 8.

[Dapper Amaroq]

This is my first brawling rp on the site, so I'll give it shot. Is there any special requirement?

[Skallagrim]

Read the mechanics for T1

[Dolerman]

No special requirements but I would suggest using a somewhat versatile character as weapons may be take away in some of the rounds, so dont put all your faith in a sword or a shotgun.

Hey I've been wanting to try Arena for a while, I guess this is my opportunity.

[Green]

I might jump onto this.

[Dolerman]

drop your character sheets and we can get rolling

[Green]

But.. What good is my character sheet if it´s on the floor? :(

[Dolerman]

:) okay I lol'd

[Lalliman]

I'll join. I hope you can find a few more people to make it work.
Is there any restriction on wearing armor though? It would feel a tad out of place to me in a brawl like this.

[Vordak]

And i might as well join too.

BTW, would cyborg characters like Robocop or Adam Jensen be a tad bit too powerful for this tournament?

Depends, those cyborgs are probably above peak human but if you powered them down then I think it would be alright.

Daniel Zethers

Name: Daniel Zethers

Gender: Male

Random descriptors: 6'2'', 240 lbs, Blue Eyes and Brown Hair.

Skills, powers and abilities:

Peak Human Condition (Description from the Superpower Wiki, I'll write a more appropriate one if this is OP) - Peak-humans are superior over normal members of humanity. They're strong enough to punch an individual through a wooden/thin metal door, break thin steel bars with their bare hands, fast enough to catch-up or outrun moving vehicles, they can exert themselves to peak capacity; therefore, eliminating build-up fatigue chemicals, producing top-endurance and lung capacity; agile enough to climb the tallest of buildings, leap to high feats into the air and distant yards; durable enough to withstand normal physical/projectile attacks and flexible enough to co-ordinate their limbs perfectly.

Natural Weaponry (Serrated Teeth and Retractable Talons) - All of Daniel's teeth are serrated in a similar fashion to a shark and much tougher than normal teeth allowing him to use them in order to deliver powerful bites. Furthermore Daniel possesses retractable 3'' bone talons in place of fingernails which are both incredible sharp and harder than normal bones which can be used offensively to lethal effect. When these natural weapons are combined with peak human strength he is able to cut/bite through flesh and the vast majority of natural materials (this varies depending on the thickness and hardness of the material and the force he is able to exert).

Elastic Jaw - Similar to a snake, Daniel's jaw is incredibly flexible allowing him to open his mouth much wider than normal enabling him to bite into large objects, at its limit his jaw can open wide enough to accommodate something the width of a human head.

Character Equipment:(Warning, I know shit all about weapons)

Bastard sword - Lightweight yet powerful, the bastard sword is a variation of the longsword which is balanced so that it is able to be used effectively as both a one handed and two handed weapon.

Semi-Automatic PIstol - A handgun able to fire a single shot every time the trigger is pulled. While it is not nearly as powerful as the vast majority of guns, it's small size and fast reloading make up for it. It carries 20 9mm rounds per magazine.

(Another question, what kind of arena will we fight in. Will it vary or be the same? Open or with obstacles? This is going to affect if I change my weapon choice but for now I've gone for adaptable)

[Green]

Neat character K-97 :D

I´ll have mine up in a few days.

Approved. Is he like a sabertooth character?

And armour, weapons, and stages will all be dependent on the match, it will be different for each round.

Yeah I would say they have too many superhuman advantages, that doesnt mean cyborgs are out of the question but they would need to be seriously nerfed to fit in.

Yeah thats sort of what I was going for.

So if I understand correctly you'll choose our equipment for us?

[Dolerman]

Depending on the round, I might let you keep your weapons or as you say, just choose yours for you.
