The Tournament of Life

[shadowdeath]

Okay then.

KI I don't think it's a good idea to submit extra chars. Since with Kev's 2 char's it's 8 total.

And DoD if I were you I wouldn't extend the deadline since it makes me procrastinate more. =P Up to you.

[TOKAM]

Yeah, but if I recall, SD, you don't have a job to contend with, either. I might need the extra time, depending on how busy things get.

[TOKAM]

Characters chosen. Apologies for the double-post, but edits are too easily overlooked.


Name: Cirra Daneir

“Class”: Archer

Age: 21

Basic Appearance (including armor): A short, slender woman, Cirra has dark green eyes and long brown hair, which she keeps tied back into a ponytail. Her attire consists of loose-fitting white pants, soft leather boots, a blue undershirt, and a green vest-like garment. A small hunting dagger at her side and a quiver on her back round out the ensemble.
Pic 1. Pic 2.

Weaponry: A glowing blue shortbow of unknown material and imbued with the element of water, and a plain hunting knife for close fighting.

Spells:
Ice Arrows: Cirra enchants her arrows with a water spell and then freezes them. More damaging than normal arrows, with the added benefit of potentially slowing a foe down from cold.
Serpent Strike: Cirra summons a water elemental in the form of a snake, which then rushes at the enemy, fangs bared. Susceptible to thunder, ice, and strong fire elements, and can be dodged until the summoning spell wears off.
Triple Shot: Cirra fires three arrows at once, making it more difficult to dodge all three. Still dodgable.

Backstory (optional): The last of the royal family of a country that no longer needs a monarch, Cirra fled from her home when dark creatures began pursuing her. In time, she met up with Xylon Altaran and his band of “mercenaries” and now travels and trains with them.


Name: Arc Stevens

“Class”: Brawler/Monk (Fist fighter)

Age: 29

Basic Appearance (including armor): Arc has blue eyes and shoulder-length blond hair, which he holds in place with a simple headband. Black boots, blue pants, a dark blue shirt, and a red overcoat make up his outfit. He also wears gloves with metal studs on the knuckles, to strengthen his attacks.
Pic 1. Pic 2.

Weaponry: A pair of black fighting gloves with studded knuckles.

Spells:
Fury: Arc channels the power of wind to temporarily increase his speed and reflexes.
Wind Bolt: Arc creates a mass of condensed air, then hurls it toward his enemy.
Psyclone: Arc calls down a small cyclone from the heavens, which engulfs him and then moves around erratically. Can be interrupted if Arc can be knocked out of the cyclone or forced to lose concentration. Otherwise dissipates in half a minute. Cannot be used again for another hour.
Note that all of Arc’s spells have a greenish tint to them,

Backstory (optional): A young wannabe bounty-and-monster hunter, out looking for a mark with his cousin, Arctura Langley. During their travels, they happened upon a group of strange dark creatures, and shortly afterward came across Xylon and his companions, whom they have been traveling with ever since.

[killerinstinct]

Well, what do you know. Looks like we don't need to extend the deadline

[shadowdeath]

My job is to procrastinate. And get my char finished up for approval. I'll try to do that today.

edit: Okay done.

[Wulfi]

Name: Neo Kaitai (as always, I gotta enter my best man)

“Class”: Archer

Age: 17 (birthday in June, methinks)

Basic Appearance (including armor): Royal blue hair, electric green slitted eyes, yellow short-sleeve shirt, blue leggings, gray boots, red shoulder guard, yellow cuffs on either wrist, midnight blue cat ears and tail. (He's got terrible fashion sense, ne?) Click here for a pic of Kaitai. He's the one in the first column, fourth row. The pics on the right of their originals are the ones I updated from around December last year.

Weaponry: Rhetfyre Bow (a bow made from the wood of the sacred tree, Rhetfyre, which bore the legendary Wolfen tome holding the same name; this bow has the ability to bestow certain elements of magic unto the arrows which it holds, such as fire, wind, water, earth, nature, lightning, ice, darkness, light, etc...), claws and fangs.

Spells:

Kaitai is a shape-shifting Neko (NEH-koh), or cat-person (Calgor, whatever), so of course he's gonna use his abilities. He's got some new tricks he's been honing since the beginning of this year.

There are five levels of Shape-shifting in Neko standards:

Level 1 - House pets and small animals. People also.

Level 2 - Large mountable units, such as wyverns or horses.

Level 3 - Tihger (TY-gher), the form attained after long periods of continuous training, often resembling a 30-60 foot tall cat family relative, usually a tiger (hence the name) with fangs resembling some sort of unbreakable material (Kaitai = Diamond fangs).

Level 4 - As the shifter reaches levels 4 and 5 with painstaking progress, it becomes harder to shift to the lower forms. Level 4 is quite powerful, but has many flaws such as low defense and stamina. In this level, the user can transform into any of their earlier stages, but they now become invisible and can move in silence.

Level 5 - It is highly recommended not to use this method of battle unless willing to die. The use becomes their enemy's worst nightmare (literally) and delves out of view and into their mind. While inside their head, the shifter will lose approximately one year of his life for every minute he remains inside the psyche. If the user is 17, for example, they would die if they remained inside the mind for 17 minutes. It may not seem like much when you think about how quickly the foe may give in, but it's unbelievably difficult to break free of the opponent's mind and return to the outer world.

<> Rhetfyre Enhancement 2: Cyclone Shot - A speedy, curving arrow forged by wind energy is fired at the foe. If it hits, the opponent will be quickly encircled by fierce winds and thrown quite a distance, not to mention injured.

<> Shape-shift Level 4: Ghost - Transforms into an invisible, noiseless version of a previous form. (Kitten, Wyvern, and Tihger are all available.)

<> Combo 1: Mindbomb - His first combo attack with Kaoniban. If Kaitai is able to touch the skin of his foe, Kaoni will swiftly travel through to the foe and confuse the shit outta them. XD

Backstory (optional): To summarize, Kaitai was banned from his village because he was born with human ears, an omen of bad luck. Wherever he was, bad luck would follow. He met Lady Luna when she fell from the sky (this is when she was caught in the wormhole between Gametalk and ToM) on a rainy, fateful evening. When he met Haylo, however, his luck became better than he could have ever imagined.

Later on, he met Kaoniban, the spirit of his dead twin brother who had been tailing him for years and finally mustered up the courage to meet him. Kaoni is very prone to mood swings, though he's more serious than he seems.

Kaitai still blames himself for Elvina's death.

~~~~~*****~~~~~

By the way, Foxxi can't sign up until Friday, but she REALLY wants to. Maybe you could extend it a bit just for her, hmm...?

And I'll sign up Haylo later.

[killerinstinct]

If Foxxi signs up, and you want to sign Haylo up, too, then Foxxi has to sign up two characters. Or I sign up another character. Just to balance things out.

[Wulfi]

Foxxi'll sign up Dorian and Mignon, I think. ^_^

[Griffin]

Kev - Approved.

SD - The Pharaoh's Trap and Wall of Scales are overpowered. Please modify.

Wulfi - I trust you enough to keep Kaitai in check. Approved.


For lazy SD and Foxxi, deadline extended to Saturday.

[shadowdeath]

Lol I was going to say I'll have it done by tonight or tomorrow.

I guess not now.

[Wulfi]

Change:

Exchanged Kaitai's Wyvern form for the Cyclone Shot.

[Wulfi]

Name: Haylo Shoiki

“Class”: Thief

Age: 17

Basic Appearance (including armor): Blond hair in a loose ponytail held by a red sequenced bandanna, dark red eyes, a forest green wrap-round cape, a pink short-sleeve shirt, forest green mid-thigh ruffled skort, brown knee-high boots, red cuffs on wrists.

Weaponry: Steel dagger, lock picks, throwing knives.

Spells: Forgotten upon Lady Luna's death.

Backstory (optional): Haylo's past is shrouded in mystery. She refuses to venture back to her village and would rather wear a smile than be in pain whilst speaking of her past experiences. She met Kaitai and Lady Luna, joining them, and accepted Luna's offer and received her training. She gained outstanding speed and flexibility, and though she's not as quick as Stella (Lone Wolf Lightning), her acrobatic reflexes are not her only trump card against challengers but prove to be a useful upper hand.

This is her first tournament and chance to prove herself. Not being much of a fighter and hence making her feel utterly useless, she longs to show Kaitai how great of a battler she can truly measure up to.

[Griffin]

Approved. Sign-ups end tomorrow. Foxxi, Alex, get on it.

[shadowdeath]

Lazy.

[Griffin]

Do it or you're disqualified.

[shadowdeath]

Eh.

I'll opt out of this journey. I'm really that lazy. XD Well, and I don't feel like writing much anytime soon. So yeah.

[Griffin]

KI, mod his profile for him please.

[♠ Foxxi ♠]

Name: Dorian Kref Corvi

"Class": n/a

Age: 16 (Birthday - November 14th)

Appearance: Short black hair with dangling sideburns that reach his chin (the one on his left is light blonde), pointed ears, small steel loops on each ear (one on each earlobe), white trench coat, devious gray eyes, light gray undershirt with black lining, black jeans, black belt with a hexagonal buckle with a small sickle on either side, gray fingerless gloves. PIC BY WULFI FROM JUNE 2007 HERE.

Weaponry: Stealth Fang (Chakram), fangs and claws, (suppressed) great speed and strength (though he's got terrible accuracy due to the drug in his system... ;; ).

Spells:

Revolution Fang - Spins wildly on his large chakram. Very powerful but has little control.

Apocalyptical Stalk - Hangs on to the edge of his medium sized chakram and leaps high into the air, then crashes down with great force (hopefully) on the foe, but accuracy with this move is not too good.

Roundabout Stalk - Throws the Stealth Fang to the wall, it trails around it quite fast. With each revolution, it closes in on the two of them.

Backstory: Parents killed by rogue vampires. His sister and himself were the only survivors and were raised by squirrels during their changing period. Later found by Miss Reagan and her group.

[♠ Foxxi ♠]

Name: Rake Kearney

"Class": Swordsman

Age: 23 (Birthday - February 10th)

Appearance: Wild light brown hair that slims at the ends (he has three separate strands of his hair wrapped tightly in bandages so they look kinda like tails added on to the hair at the nape of his neck; they go down to just passed his shoulder blades), stern blue green eyes, a dark brown vest over an off-white long-sleeve tunic, dark blue jeans, brown boots, black belt around waist on top of all the other top layers, two black shoulder guards, brown leather straps that create an X shape over his broad chest, a large brown sheathe on his back for his broadsword.

Weaponry: Steel broadsword, hand-to-hand combat skillz.

Spells: none

Backstory: Saved Miss Reagan from a group of mercenaries who mistook her for someone else. Has been traveling and training with Dorian ever since.

[Griffin]

Foxxi - Super speed and super strength? Also, Roundabout Stalk confuses me.

SD - Change or you're out.

[shadowdeath]

I'll try to get it in by the end of the day.

[♠ Foxxi ♠]

He's a vampire. ^_^;; They come with super speed and super strength. I'll keep him in check.

And it's like he throws the chakram at the wall, it latches on and makes a full circle. As it continues, it gets off the wall and continues its revolutions, getting closer to the center with each full circle. Get it now? ;;

[Griffin]

Seems overpowered in my opinion. It keeps spinning and spinning and someone could just lose track of it, then it comes out of "nowhere" and knocks them unconscious. Make it possible to be knocked off track or something. It should be able to be knocked off course in the first place. You're fine.

[Griffin]

KI, I have to ask you to sign up another character, seeing as SD is too lazy to participate.

[shadowdeath]

Changed the sand thingy to assassin thingy.

Working on my defense.

[killerinstinct]

Uh... okay, so... am I supposed to do anything or no?

[shadowdeath]

DoD, my edits good enough?

Or KI, you can check it.

And as for the wall by excessively I mean like I can't spam them all the time. Like I can't go wall, wall, wall, wall. But wall, attack, run away, attack, wall would be fine or something.

[TOKAM]

. . . I've been trying to keep my mouth shut, but I kinda feel like I need to point this out. If Kaitai can turn invisible and Foxxi's character has enhanced speed and strength, why are Allegro's walls causing such a problem? It's not making a lot of sense...

[killerinstinct]

Kay people... I'll look over everyone's profile again, and see what needs to be changed and stuff...

[shadowdeath]

Thanks KI.
