Fuck. I am so in for it now... if I don't show up I've probably been grounded.

Ugh... that deck list.... it.... it....
IT MADE ME HUNGRY DAMN YOU ;-;...
But other than that, your character seems like she'd along well with the Sarah, another character here who shares a similar personality.

Awesome! So, anyone want to play as the NPC? It'd be nice to carry out a duel, just to get the hang of it. How will cards be drawn though?
The only solution I can see to this issue so far is either limiting or simply excluding Extra Deck monsters. It's usually monsters here that have annoying and easily exploited effects, and are what have contributed a lot to the metagame structures as of late. I for one don't even use my Extra Deck that often, but I'm not sure how willing others would be to ignore it considering sometimes the monsters here are the centerpoint of their decks.
Steelswarm Scout's role in the Steelswarm Army was obviously to spy on the enemy and return to his superiors with learned information. He was sneaky and knew a great deal of making himself seem inconspicuous. Because of this, Scout was easily able to tell what it was that the new and shady looking duelist was doing each time he "yawned".
*Psst, hey Lars...*
Scout whispered in Lars' left ear to tell him of what he just saw.
"Doing a bit of recon himself, huh? Not surprised, I'd want to know what I'm up against too."
Lars thought about switching his main deck with his Archfiend one. It would give off a false impression to the spying duelist and to anyone who was trying to scope him out. Then again, what good would it really do? By the looks of this guy, he was probably from the Obsidian District, or at the very least lived there for a time. If that was so, then he probably already knew what he used. Oh well, didn't hurt to do as such. Besides, if there were any premature challengers out here, it'd help in not giving away his moves. Also, the old Archfiends needed another whirl. He turned his back and switched decks quickly.
*Don't call the King over.... he scares me...*
"Well his is called Terrorking for a reason. Relax, he rarely ever comes to me, it's Heiress or Stygian you need to concern yourself with."

Lars had finally arrived at the stadium where the tournament would be held, the time of travel from his part of the Obsidian District taking shorter than he had expected. That was okay though, as now Lars could easily watch for potential opponents as he observed those who rushed to get into the stadium.
*Hey look! A cat!*
Lars looked in the direction where Scout was currently pointing towards, just enough to see what appeared to be a real life version of a Ruby Carbuncle monster walking through the crowds alongside someone else.
"A spirit partner eh? Obviously I knew I wasn't the only one. The fact that there is someone here who also has a spirit monster means this will be a more interesting and possibly tougher tournament than I thought!"
That was okay though, Lars needed to test his skills and luck anyway. Hopefully he'd be good enough to last for a few duels and not be booted so quickly from the tournament. It would be a really crappy way of honoring his friends if the tournament they had wanted to go to was lost by him in like... one duel. Afterall, they were the main reason Lars was doing this tournament. He sighed as he remembered them.
*No worries, we'll be fine....*
Lars nodded. Of course they would. They would definitely not go down without showing whomever they fought the ferocity of the Steelswarms!
He began to think about some of the rumors that circled the man, Gero Anima. Lars and the person he just saw both had a spirit partner, and it was commonly known by everyone that Anima had a fascination with the phenomenon. The tournament could easily be a means for him to study those duelists who experienced the phenomenon, but to what end? Lars shrugged simply, and walked around slowly as he watched for potential opponents.
*Another one, this one bright and shiny... and sizzling...*
A red haired girl with a hat and an eager expression stood before the stadium with another monster by her side. He'd never seen that monster before though, but it was amazing to see another person with a spirit partner nonetheless.
"Three of us already...."

Brackets? I'M SO NERVOUSCITED!

In the poorer parts of Anima City, Lars sat nonchalantly on a bench as he messed around on his phone. Normally something like this wouldn't have been such a smart idea in these parts of the large city since it eventually would make some guy want to mug you, but the duelist wasn't concerned. People, at least here where he lived, had come to know of his name and abilities, and would not dare mess with him unless they wanted to risk losing and be punished in some humiliating way.
"Huh? Oh... nice."
Lars commented softly as a small smirk appeared on his face. The G-Clock Tournament had finally been initiated by the city's founder, Gero Anima. It was-
"About time!"
A shrill and childlike voice broke the silence Lars currently had around him, and instantly a strange and fiendish metallic looking creature was floating near his head.
"It's been for-frigging-ever since we started to wait for this thing to start! Are we going to go now? Do we get to duel more people? Do I get to make a stunning performance while Steelswarm Mantis-"
Lars cut him off out loud.
"Yes, Scout!"
"To everything?"
"Obviously. Now, want to keep it down a bit? It's compelling for me to just shout at you when you're being hyper even if other people can't see or hear you. That in turn just provides for a weird looking picture."
"Ok." Scout laughed and then sat himself on Lars shoulder. The teenager stood up and began to head in the direction of where the tournament would be held. It was obviously a long walk from here to there, but obviously he'd be making use of some transportation systems along the way. He didn't mind walking for long periods of time anyway, at least not anymore since he moved here.
Besides, it gave him time to think and mentally prepare himself. Lars pulled out his signature deck from a box found in the inner pocket of his coat, running his fingers over the cards everyone around had come to be wary of. Steelswarms, the destructive horde of demonic creatures. He had used this deck for some time now and couldn't wait to finally use it against other people from different places. Placing it back in the box and the box within his inner coat pocket, Lars continued to walk and think of several possible scenarios and the things he could do with his cards to deal with them.
This would be a fun and interesting thing, and he hoped that he'd get more out of it than what he anticipated.

I'd love to join... But this thread doesn't seem to have addressed the major flaw in each and every Yu-Gi-Oh! thread. The Meta-game.In every other RP, it is fucking annoying when one guy has all of the power, and you aren't allowed to win against him. The problem is that Bandai are building Yu-Gi-Oh! as a professional game, the game is not about getting the maximum amount of enjoyment to the consumers, it's about building better and more powerful cards so that the pro players will be forced to buy them. This means that, anyone wanting to build a deck like Yugi's or Joeys will find themselves shit out of luck, as someone in the RP will be running Ghostricks or Necrodolls, which is going to absolutely rape the Joey deck 999,999/1,000,000.So the problem becomes "Do I want to not have fun, because i have to run a Darkworld deck that I REALLY don't want to run, so that I can stand a chance in a duel against his Six Samurai and her Malefics? Or, do I want to not have fun, because my Vehicroid deck that I love will never be able to beat that guys Hieratics, or that girls Evilswarm?"I can already see the problem beginning to make itself known in here, I mean, Gem Knight dude, you won't beat Ghostrick dude... Unless Ghostrick dude suddenly suffers a massive heart-attack half-way through your duel and you win by default. And this is why I'm torn between joining or not. I WANT to play HERO's, but unless I use that assbackwards "Competative" HERO deck that has about 8 HERO cards in it all together, I'm not going to stand much of a chance of beating anyone, and a game is not much fun if you lose every single time, and you know that the only way to win is to make the game boring... which it already is, so that plan defeats itself.Did this get brought up at any point throughout the OOC? I haven't had a chance to read it in detail yet.
I do agree with everything's that's been said here, and it is my primary reason why I dislike playing against people who adhere wholly to metagame structures in... pretty much anything. Pokemon, Yugioh, etc. Hell, the metagame ruined Pokemon battling against others, namely cause I can't freaking play with a pokemon I want without it having all that bullshit EV, IV, breeding crap going on.
Regardless, I don't believe there are any decks here that adhere to metagame structures, so I wouldn't worry too much right now about it.
Anyway, I added a personality to the character sheet. Am I good to go now?
