Please put your character in the characters' tab, I think he is a fun guy, and I'm excited to see him in the mix. @Weird Tales

You can join the tournament, just please keep in mind that I have already decided how the tournament will go. I'll inform you guys on that as we get closer to the matches. XD

EDIT: Please go ahead and post an RP post if you already understand what's going on. Right now, I believe you guys can choose a number in between.... 101-120, 41-60, anddd 141-160. So choose an number in between one of those three, guys. That's one for each of the last characters. XD

"Will fighters 83 and 84 please step into the ring." A referee called for them from ring C, holding a clipboard in his hand, as he looked around for the two fighters.

"I'll try to make it quick and painless." 84 snickered, as he jumped onto the ring. He hit his boxing gloves together a couple of times, as he eyeballed the small woman get onto the platform to face him.

"Fighters ready?" The referee confirmed, as he stood between the two. "Begin!" He exclaimed, a bell rang simultaneously, as he quickly moved out of the way. It was his first year refereeing at one of these events, and he was scared out of his mind that someone was going to end up accidentally throwing a punch his way!

(You can just roleplay up to the fight, and also RP the whole battle with him and Akita, since he's just a throwaway character. Same thing with any sort of reaction from his friends. XD)

"Kick his butt, Akita!" Kiro requested of her, cheering her on from the sidelines. These jerks deserved a beat-down, and Kiro was glad Akita was going to give it to them while testing out her new-found skill set. When Kiro thought about it, this was actually Akita's first real fight. She had sparred with Ally and him before, but now she'd get to see exactly what fighters were like outside their island.

"Stop talking and look." Eno ordered Samu, as he gestured his head over to Akita's battle. This was perfect, now he'd get to see just how strong his supposed rivals were. If it were him fighting, it'd probably take only half a second to beat an oaf like fighter-number-84. He'd use all sixty seconds to really show him what a defeat looked like, though, especially if the guy was talking to him like he was the trio.

"Hmm." The mysterious Jackie Chun stood on the other side of the room, just out of sight from his disciples (or should I say, his alter ego's disciples. XDD). "Number 126, huh?" He read his slip aloud. "I guess that puts me in..." He looked at the several brackets on the wall, trying to decipher which one he was in.

"Uh, that puts you in the first half of block D, Mr." A young, 20-something fighter standing behind him informed him.

"What!? Mister!? I'm young enough to be your brother!" Jackie Chun argued, with his glued on hair, he thought for sure he'd look several years younger.

"Right, sorry about that." The man awkwardly replied, slowly backing away from the delusional old man.

'That's another poor fool that's fallen for your disguise, Roshi. You're a genuis.' Jackie Chun thought maniacally to himself, as he began to laugh (on the outside). 'To think, all it took was a wig.' He added, also making note that perhaps it was his shades that made him appear older in the past.

I appreciate the second attempt, friend. This one looks like a really interesting (and fitting) character for the RP. I am excited to see his wind manipulation abilities in action. I apologize for the trouble. XD

"Yes, what luck." Eno said quite sarcastically, as he rolled his eyes, crossing his arms. He couldn't care less if Samu and he fought, there only could be one winner, after all. "It's doubtful, but I do hope at least one of the lousy fighters makes it to the real tournament. I'll need more than a minute to show them the full extent of the power of the Crane School." He expressed his feelings, never taking his eyes off the trio, as he watched them laugh and giggle with one another. Just watching them have so much fun made him want to punch them that much more.

Before Kiro could laugh at Akita's utterly horrible number (by whatever rating scale he's going by), a burly, muscular man wearing only gym shorts and boxing gloves (and shoes), suddenly turned around to face the group, as he held out his number with a wicked grin on his face. "I'm number 84, green girl." He laughed in her face, as his friends all joined in with him.

"Man, the only fight that would have been easier is if you got the 5 year-old kid over there!" A man next to fighter-number-84 laughed, as he pointed over to Kiro.

"I'm 13 years-old!" Kiro angrily shouted at them, as he got in his own sort of fighting style, almost ready to lunge right at the jerks.

"What kind of fighting style is that!? You're completely unguarded!" A third man pointed out, tears actually rolling down his cheek at the hilariousness of it all.

Hey, guys! Just one more thing! Make sure the numbers you pull out don't throw a monkey wrench into things by making you fight someone important in the preliminaries. For example, I put Kiro's number as 12 (or something, I already forgot.), so no one should choose a number that's from 1-20 (first block in section A). For another example, my second character, Eno, drew out 78 (or something like that), so no one should pick any numbers that are from 61-80(second block of section B). I hope this makes sense! There are eight blocks, so you'll definitely have a number to pick. XD

EDIT: I made some edits to Kiro's form, please check them out. The added information is highlighted in red. I think this is a good idea to keep track of your character's progression, I encourage all of you to do the same with your characters, as time moves on (please have it approved by me first, however. XD). I kept the old stuff as well so you could see the transition.

EDIT 2: World Tournament bracket is on the first page, I will edit this as we move through it. The question mark will either be Weird Tales's character, or a character Shazbot has in mind.

Goodnight, @NacNak. XD

Akita followed Kiro and Ally to the building. She was slightly intimidated by all of the people showing up for the preliminaries. It was good that people weren't going to be watching because she didn't want the distraction from her first real fight.

"Don't worry, Akita. We'll fly through these preliminaries!" Kiro assured her in response to her reaction, giving her a small pat on the back to try and cheer here up a bit. He walked alongside the other two, as they found an empty space to stand and wait. There were had to be over a hundred people in the large room! Everyone looked like such amazing fighters, which did intimidate Kiro, but he'd never admit to it.

One of the many preliminary referees stood atop of one of the four fighting rings located in the center of the room, as he patted the head of his microphone, making sure that it was actually on before speaking into it. "Ehem." He grumbled, as he signaled his sound man to turn the volume just slightly up. "Welcome to the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament, I'd like to begin by thanking each and everyone of you for coming out here. Because, let's face it, without you fighters, we wouldn't have a show, now would we?" The referee awkwardly laughed at his failed attempt as a joke, as he blankly stared off into the harsh crowd. Not a single laugh. "Uh," He coughed to fill in the void of silence. "You all will be divided into eight brackets, competing in mini-tournaments to decide who will move on to the actual tournament. You will have a one-minute time limit on every match, you lose if you either fall out of bounds, or get knocked out (being on the ground for more than ten seconds). If neither of these events occur, it will be up to the judge to decide who wins, and moves on to the next round. There are 160 fighters this time around, and so every single one of you will receive a number from our helpful referees, these numbers will decide who goes in what bracket. Numbers 1-20 will be in the first half of bracket A. Numbers 21-40 will be in the latter half of bracket A. And so on and so fourth. I appreciate your time, and I wish all of you the best of luck." With that, the referee exited the stage. Only moments after, eight referees went around carrying a silver container containing 20 slips of paper, giving everyone a chance to reach in and get a number for themselves, to determine which bracket they're in.

Kiro took his time reaching in to get his number, making sure he got the luckiest one. "This is the one!" He exclaimed, pulling out the slip. Once he opened it, he read it aloud: "Number 12!" He excitedly informed his fellow students.

Eno reached into the box, as he pulled out a slip. He opened it up to read, number 78. It didn't matter what bracket they put him in, though. There wasn't a single fighter there that even resembled someone that could cause him any trouble. He eyed the turtle hermit's students from across the room, recognizing their insignia. The faintest smile formed on his face, he was glad that they were able to make it in time. Now he'd have the chance to embarrass the pathetic school in front of everyone.

I updated the map again. XD

And, sorry, @Weird Tales. I just don't think it's a character I'm willing to accept because he's so out there. Especially as a serious one. >_<
I feel bad about saying that, as I really want to encourage creativity, I hope you understand, man.

@NacNak

I'll wait for you to reply now. XD

Master Roshi sighed. How could he be mad at them when they were so darn respectful? "Well, you made it in time. That's all that matters. We should get to the hotel, we're going to-...I mean, you're going to need your rest for the big day tomorrow. Hundreds of fighters are here to register, but only few will actually make it past the preliminaries. Keep that in mind." Master Roshi informed them, as he proceeded to yell for a taxi. Immediately a cab stopped for them, as Roshi naturally took the front passenger seat. "Hurry up and get in!" He yelled, as the three of them piled up in the back.
-------------------------------------------------
(I'm just going to skip to tomorrow. Not much point in dragging things out. Gotta keep things fast paced. XD)

"If you are a competitor in the World Martial Arts Tournament, please proceed to Building C-2." A short Indian gentleman explained through a speakerphone, as he stood on top of a box to make himself known throughout such a large crowd. Hundreds of thousands of people had made their way to the small island from all over the world just to watch these amazing fighters compete. "Please note that the preliminary rounds will be closed off to the public eye, I am sorry for the inconvenience." He further explained.

Master Roshi, still wearing his suit, led his three pupils throughout the crowd, as the message was heard. "Oh, darn!" He exclaimed, as he overheard that it was going to be closed battles for the preliminaries. "I was really hoping to watch you kids fight!" He snapped his fingers, trying his best to act as if he were thoroughly disappointed. If anything, this actually helped him. Now they wouldn't be searching for him in the crowd. "You know what? Why don't you guys go ahead to where you need to be, and I'll uh..." Roshi quickly tried to think of a reasonable excuse to disappear. "I need to use the bathroom! Yeah! That's what I need to do!" He exclaimed, quickly running off in the distance.

"Wait! Master Roshi! The bathroom's the other way!" Kiro exclaimed, but it was too late, he was already long gone. "What building did the guy say again?" Kiro scratched the back of his head, as he tried to remember. "D-5?" Kiro mumbled, as he looked around for a building labeled as such.
