Fighters from around the world have gathered in Brass City, capital of the Japika region. The annual Super Monster Fighting tourney has begun again, filled with fresh faces ready to duke it out and see who can reach the prestigious title of 'Ultimate Monster Fighter.' But there have been murmurs surrounding the tourney. The Rocket Gang, a futuristic group of ruffians, have been growing bolder as of late. Some say they'll even strike SMF LXXVI and steal the prize belt. Either way, there's gonna be a lot of fighting.
Characters
You'll be playing as a fighter, be you good or bad you have to have some kind of combat ability. Generally you should be an anthropomorphized animal doing martial arts and utilizing type-based powers. Digimon, Pokemon, or original characters will all be accepted. I'm willing to accept some more unique characters like some kind of ranged fighter or someone who walks on 4 limbs. They'll have to be well balanced against the other characters to do so. Speaking of balance, characters should be a definite step ahead of the general populace but no huge energy blasts or anything like that. You have the power to take on multiple people, not take down a building with a single blow. We might just get to that later though. We'll also probably get to evolutions later; some fighters, under such duress and after having fought so much, can develop a new form that they can freely ascend to. This can cost a lot of energy at first but one person has acclimated to it so well that is their new permanent form, though this is just a rumor and even than evolution isn't exactly well known even inside the martial arts community.
Setting
This is a world full of super-powered animals, walking on two legs, four, flying or swimming. The technological level is around the 60's, we've got radios and TVs, landlines and plumbing. People are definitely more intune with nature though, often keeping their dirt roads, trees and lakes as they should be. Of course, there are many great scientists, and tech level can sporadically burst in certain places or with certain people. Brass City is one such city, with the fighting arena having large, thin TVs, color enabled, and an advanced shielding system so fighters can go all out without worrying about ring-outs or hitting the audience.

[b]Personality:[/b] 1-2 decent length paragraphs.
[b]Biography:[/b] At least 3 paragraphs. Give your character an interesting backstory!
[b]Fighting Style:[/b] your general fighting style. Do you focus on kicks? Punches? Type powers, or a weapon? Are you defensive or offensive? [b]Type:[/b] What power your character has. The more general, the weaker but more versatile your ability is. 'Steam' types would have the ability to generate and manipulate steam, while 'Fire' types might only be able to blast fire from their hands. Get creative with your powers too. Could go for shapeshifting, psychic, shadows, gravity, etc. [b]Inventory:[/b] any items that your character will always keep with them.
@BCTheEntity Well, I was thinking in the shower and you could also develop a sort of 'faux-evolution' for them, sort of like the kaioken. If you want to keep it to strictly two forms though that aesthetic change may be for the best, since you could go for an actual type.
@DracoLunaris@GingerBoi123@Argetlam350@jynmi88 feel free to run character concepts by me as well. I might wait for one more person but I'll probably get the actual thread up in a couple days.
@BCTheEntity Hmm... I'll allow it, but your Type would have to be something like 'shapeshift' or some such, basically making form switching your ability and focusing almost entirely on regular combat.
@BCTheEntity Growing up is like evolution over time. Regular people do grow and develop into different 'forms' but there's no going back from them like with an Evolution. Basically evolution is like mega evolution from pokemon, or as if a regular monster went from baby to rookie, and certain mons could get to Champion through battle. Of course, some mons simply grow.
