Rules
As stated previously, we are using this thread under the assumption that you know how to properly roleplay. Keep all basics and such in mind as you are fighting. A heavily armored fighter is not going to easily dodge a slew of attacks, a user of the Water-element is going to suffer more damage from Lightning-element attacks, etc. If I find that there are problems with your playing, I’ll PM you asking you to change.
1) Posts shouldn’t be too short or too long. One-liners add nothing to the topic or the story, and posts that are too long make it seem like the other RPers are merely following the lead of the topic host, doing essentially nothing but reacting to everything that happens. Both can make a topic boring. Even worse, some people won’t read the whole thing, and then they’ll make a mistake and mess everything up.
2) Don't rush your posts, especially when opening a topic up, as it makes a very bad first impression. Spelling mistakes and grammar errors make following the topic harder than it needs to be. That said, try your best to use proper spelling and grammar.
3) Try not to post at the same time as someone else; it will confuse everyone, especially if you both did the same thing. This happens – just edit your post if it does. Try not to use the “quick reply” box; you won’t show up on the topic’s user list as posting, and someone may post before you or immediately after. You can also refresh the page to see if anyone posted before you did, after you finish writing.
4) Don't bunny or godmod. This is the only “actual” rule to be enforced here – if you're seen doing either I will tell you to edit your post. If you do it regularly I’ll simply end the fight.
Bunnying: Taking control of someone's character without their permission. If they give you permission to control their character, make sure to make a note in your post that says so.
Godmodding: Avoiding every single attack that is thrown your way, determining by yourself how your target is affected by your attacks, escaping unrealistic situations, and picking up new skills on the fly. If you lose an arm (ouch), you are not going to be able to fight as well as you did when you had the arm. The same goes for basic injuries, etc. Basically, being completely unrealistic and being overpowered for its own sake. Don’t worry – we know! Being an over-the-top action hero is popular, and acquiring latent abilities in a tough situation can be a legitimate plot device. However, if taken too far it can kill the fun.
When a match between two members begins you are expected to show courtesy. You either don’t post and follow what happens, or you may post sideline comments from your character watching. If you choose to do the latter, make sure you don’t overpost.
Gameplay
When all 12 participants have sent in their profiles the opening match will start. For conveniences Werekill and I will be the first fight. Roleplay as you would, but keep in mind because there are a total of 6 fights for the first round you cannot make the fight drag on for too long. Keep in mind human limits of your character. If the fight drags on too long I’ll request that one of you finish the fight.
Winning and losing is completely up to you, as is any roleplay. You are in control of how well your character fights and performs. If you feel you’re being outclassed by your opponent then you can choose to lose. Since this is fighting, a loss is not determined by a death. If your character ends up horribly injured, you can have them call it quits. In fact, since I’m not completely in favor of deaths (especially this is just a jumping-off thread) I can call match finishes whenever it seems plausible.

[2] Werekill
[collapse=Character]Name: Werekill Hazelips
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Description: An average sized, white young man who normally wears dark jeans, no shirt, and a black hoodie that he got on sale at Hot Topic. He has bandages wrapped around his abdomen because it looks cool.
Personality: He is generally friendly, but he can be a little arrogant when he fights. Or fishes. Or plays music. Or competitively eats hot dogs.
Weapon(s): He uses a bracelet with a small crystal hanging from it that amplifies his magical power. He also uses a sword hilt that can freeze and attach to a long and slender stream of water, and this makes a handy impromptu sword.
Fighting Style / Basic Attacks: He uses a self-taught style whenever he uses a sword, but when he uses his water magic, he uses several common techniques, albeit with... “creative” names.
Turn on your fog lights
-This technique increasing the amount of water vapor in the air and creates a fog over the battlefield. This makes it easier to do more powerful water techniques.
Floating River
-This creates a long stream of water that a water-style magic user can manipulate. If fog is present, this technique can be nearly instantaneous.
Ice blade, mang
-This requires a Floating River to be in a long, slender form. Normally used in conjunction with a sword hilt, this technique creates a sword out of ice. The hilt replaces the freezing cold ice as a handle, but it isn't really needed if the user wears thick gloves.
Lick it and see if your tongue sticks. You know you want to.
-This creates a wall out of ice, which can be used as a shield. Like the floating river, this can be used very, very quickly if fog is present.
Hold your breath.
-This technique uses all the water vapor within a large area to create a large, spherical body of water around an enemy. The outer shell is then frozen, and the enemy drowns. Not only does this tire out the user, but the frozen shell can be shattered if enough force is used against it. Because of this, this technique is not recommended for use except for in the most desperate situations.[/collapse]
[3] Zook
[collapse=Character]Name: Chon Hondid
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Description:
Personality: Charismatic and cheerful, Chon has a way with people. Beneath his friendly facade, however, is a cunning and conniving man, easily capable of finding out what makes people laugh and what breaks their will. He uses his forceful personality to con people out of money, get out of sticky situations, and win fights without ever throwing a punch.
Weapon(s): He carries with him a few weapons: a small crossbow, a dagger, and a cane which can turn into a cobra once per day, at Chon's request.
Fighting Style / Basic Attacks: Chon tries his hardest to keep a safe distant from his enemies. He hides his identity as a spellcaster for as long as possible, using illusions to distract and confuse his foes. Chon resorts to his dagger and staff only in desperate situations.
Mind Reader
- By concentrating intensly, Chon can scan the thoughts of others. He can either seek out specific information (generally, he tries to find things which the character cares about) or get a general idea of their surface thoughts. Using this ability takes several seconds, and puts Chon in a sort of trance, causing him to ignore everything around him except for his target's thoughts. It would be very difficult - and very dangerous - to use this in the heat of battle, making it unplausable to be used to, say, dodge attacks.
Hallucination
- Chon causes an illusion to appear in his target's mind. This illusion can take on various forms, from a hallucinatory creature to hallucinatory sound and anywhere in between. Of course, the illusion isn't real, and if the character afflicted with an illusion realizes what it sees isn't real, the illusion vanishes. It takes Chon a few seconds to cast this, and requires him to moderately concentrate on it to keep it going.
Displace
- Chon snaps his fingers and displaces his image, appearing to be a few feet from where he really is. This spell lasts 30 seconds, and makes it difficult to hit him.
"Your mother was a *****."
- Words hurt, too, you know. This minor spell takes the form a short insult, and has several different outcomes, depending on how personal the target finds the insult. Barely insulting may just make them a bit angry; moderately insulting may sap a bit of their fighting will; highly insulting literally feels like a punch to the gut.
Whelm
- Chon causes his target to experience a headache. The headache becomes more painful the more he breaks their willpower, and can be used to make it appear as if illusions are hurting them.
Vertigo
- A disoriantating illusion which causes the target to feel as if the ground fell out beneath their feet.
Phantasmal Killer
- Chon creates a phantasmal image of the most fearsome creature imaginable to the subject simply by forming the fears of the subject’s subconscious mind into something that its conscious mind can visualize: this most horrible beast. Only the spell’s subject can see the phantasmal killer. Everyone else sees only a vague shape. The phantasmal killer proceeds to come in contact with its victim.[/collapse]
[4] Finalark
[collapse=Character]Name: Has no known name, goes by the title "The Red Vengeance"
Age: Unknown(looks to be late 20s/early 30s)
Gender: Male
Description: A man of average height but has a strong, muscular build. On his right cheek he bares a scar that looks like it was left by a quick slash. He has short black hair and his face is as stern and stoic as he is. Think Captain Falcon + Judge Dredd + Kenshiro
Personality: He doesn't say much around other people and tries not to form bonds or any sort of friendship. He's stoic, his face rarely gives emotion but despite this he shows through his actions that he genuinely cares for the well being of others and rises up to stop injustice when he sees it.
Weapon(s): His fists, which are covered by black gauntlets with red gems in the center of them.
Fighting Style / Basic Attacks: The Red Vengeance is a practitioner of a style of martial arts all his own, combining attacks and stances from every style that he encounters. However, he focuses on strong, steady styles rather than light and agile ones. He also has power over fire and puts it into his special attacks:
- Dainsleif: The Red Vengeance charges at his foe and grabs them, causing them to erupt into flames.
- Gram: After throwing his opponent high into the air, The Red Vengeance leaps after them, grabs them then throws them into the ground with unstoppable force after turning them into a living fireball.
- Gungir: The Red Vengeance performs a hard, strong, flaming kick (also works in mid-air).
- Hrotti: The Red Vengeance causes his entire body to engulf in flame, raising his strength and speed. However, this is only brief (lasting for about two and a half minuets) and drains him of his energy.
- Laevateinn: After slamming his flaming fist into his opponent's solar plexus, this attack sends it's target flying several yards backwards.
- Mjolnir: He charges all of his power into his fist and slams it into his opponent, causing catastrophic damage. However, he is incredibly venerable if he misses.[/collapse]
[5] Quirkynature
[collapse=Character]Name: Quain
Personality: Your standard guy, 30 years of age. No smiles. Dead eyes, like something’s gone out of him. He has an iron will, forged by 5 years in captivity and 3 years escaping. He is openly hostile when approached but calm and content when left alone.
Weapons: He carries two short swords with him and steel bracers on his arms. For the rest, add in jeans and boots, a normal shirt and an overcoat engraved on the inside that provides limited protection from magical assault. And a codpiece, because some people just want to hit where it hurts.
Fighting style: His style depends on flashy deception. He twirls and weaves in and out a lot. As such, he has a lot of near misses, but those near misses are purposefully done—to wear the opponent down slowly, but steadily.
Rush
Quain rushes forward very quickly and strikes at his opponent’s legs with one sword and at the opponent’s torso with the other. If, and only if, he misses, or the opponent steps back, he steps forward and strikes again. If that, too, misses, he trips and falls. Chains into Focus only.
Focus
Once every five minutes, Quain can deflect one attack completely. Think of it as perfectshielding, but once every five minutes. Since he has two swords, it essentially means one free hit as long as it’s close range. If not, it chains into Rush or Tension.
Blur
Multiple images of Quain appear on the battlefield, the real Quain among them. He cannot attack while in this state, however, because it uses too much concentration and he is still a n00b at it. Primarily used defensively. Offensively, he can appear behind the opponent. Key word: can. Using this move leaves him drained and unable to use any special moves for twenty seconds.
Tension
He coils like a spring and sprints forward in bursts to throw the opponent off track as to when he will strike. The last burst fully closes the distance, his swords extended to impale the opponent on them. Chains well into Saccade.
Saccade
A primarily offensive move, where he can move preternaturally fast within a radius of six feet for five seconds. Using this move puts a great deal of strain on his legs, and makes it difficult to move for twenty seconds.[/collapse]
[6] Fuzz
[collapse=Character]Name: Warren Stone
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Description: (Images can be used)
A tall, kind of scruffy white male. A guy who is fairly skinny and a little bit taller then average. but always wears a scowl. Always wearing a T shirt and Beanie. His hair is like a mop, unkept and dirty.
Personality:
He is a man who is passionate about winning this tournament. He doesn't care much for fighting and used to be incredibly carefree living a life of peace. He had a passion for the arts and loved indulging in creative pursuits such as painting, DJing and producing music. He started working on a unique style of martial arts because he lived in a dangerous town, and although violence clashed with his personality the style of martial arts and his unique weapons were so dangerous he became infamous and feared for them. He was captured and imprisoned by the tournaments organisers, They currently have his lover taken captive and the condition he has been given for her safe return has been to win this tournament. Now he doesn't care who he has to kill to get her or his old life back.
Weapon(s):
Recimitars- He uses a pair of refined scimitars originally made from a broken vinyl record which have certain time-based qualities.
Fighting Style / Basic Attacks:
He fights using two swords and has a lot of attacks that manipulate time though some have drawbacks.
First and foremost he has a strong sense of rhythm and is good at seeing through patterns in peoples attack.
Largo- A technique which slows down Warren's perception of time. This technique is used to read the patterns of a persons body language and predict and understand the fundamental basics of the attacks.
To start up the technique warren must put his swords together and form a whole record. It is then that the record starts to spin and his perception of time becomes affected.
While using Largo Warren must keep completely still. He simply cannot move. the technique is useful for observation only and warren can exit Largo at any time.
Decellerando- A technique which slows down the opponent. Puts warren in immense pain. The pain distracts his focus so much he is unable to attack properly. This technique is only used to dodge, repeated uses are incredibly debilitating. can only be used twice in a day or warren will need to be hospitalised
Accelerando- An attack which is a sped up flurry of slashes. The attack is so fast most slashes are invisible to the naked eye. lasts for a maximum of 4 seconds but is visibly tiring to use.
Crescendo- places recimitars and causes records to spin to create a loud noise which is used to reveal the location of the enemy
Fortissimo- Slashes which are so strong they cause strong gusts of wind which can send opponents off their feet but not flying back-- used to disrupt the "tempo" of the enemy[/collapse]
[7] Sephiroths Masamune
[collapse=Character]Name: Seph
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Description: Has the height of 6 feet 1 inch and has a fairly muscular build. He wears a black leather outfit and has his jacket open so people can see his abs.
Personality: Usually calm and collect, but is very decisive. He has a strong mind and thinks alot during the heat of battle and will focus all his attention towards the enemy.
Weapons: He owns a Katana crafted from a meteorite, it is made of a special alloy that is indestructible and resistant to any element know to man. This sword is so sharp it can cut through diamond.
Fighting Style: Seph only purpose in life was to become the world’s most powerful swordsman. At an early age he became a sword master by fighting his master in a one on one dual to the death. Soon after he searched the world in order to find someone who could match his skill, all the while learning the ways of the sword as he fought. He now knows every move in sword play. Since Masamune is resistant to any form of element, Seph has to rely on his swordsmanship, so Seph journeyed to find ways to improve his abilities of speed and supernatural movement to compliment his swordsmanship.
Mimic
-Seph sword play is skilled enough to mimic the others move in mid combat. He cannot mimic the elemental aspects of the move but he can mimic the motion, movement and force of the blade. This will take as much energy it is required for the original move minus the elemental strain.
Teleportation
-Seph gathers energy to teleport around the stage, this move is fast but takes alot of energy doing so, and should be used sparingly.
Arial Rush
-Slashes the opponent into the air, moves behind them and slashes them towards the ground. If Seph misses with the initial slash he automatically goes into the air because of how fast you need to react with this move leaving him wide open for an attack.
Oblivions Draw
-Sephs ultimate move, he moves at blinding speeds and slashes you multiple times faster than the eye can see. This move is a last resort and not an instant kill although it does do high damage. After this move Seph will be vulnerable for most the remainder of the match.[/collapse]
[8] Cutter
[collapse=Character]Name: Rettuc
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Description: A moderately tall (6’2”) white man, Rettuc wears mainly all black clothing, including a leather jacket.
Personality: Erratic by nature, Rettuc can be frenzied and excited one moment and stoic and analytic the next. He tends to side more on the impulsive side though, and enjoys being able to take action while not trying to err on the side of stupidity or pride.
Weapons: Rettuc is able to generate, magnify, and manipulate electric fields and electric currents. He creates them by converting any other form of energy around him, such as metabolic energy in his body, or the thermal energy from sunlight on his skin into electrical energy.
Rettuc also carries a three-foot sword named Volta. It is entirely made of a metal (including the hilt) that has perfect superconductivity at room temperature.
Fightning style/basic attacks: Most of Rettuc’s attacks come from his electricity manipulation, though the Volta can be used to channel and focus other attacks for some long-range or mostly melee attacks. While he can fight at both long-range and melee ranges, Rettuc prefers to engage enemies at midrange.
Power Surge
Rettuc’s basic energy-based attack. Rettuc creates an electric current and projects either hand outward to send it out to any given target(s). The voltage is directly proportional to how much energy is used.
Volta Shaft
Rettuc raises Volta and either raises it into the air or slams it into the ground. Electricity will flow from Rettuc into Volta effortlessly as the electricity is then transferred to the medium that it’s touching. This can be used as an area-of-effect attack and its effectiveness depends on the resistance of the medium that the electricity flows through, among other factors. It also doubles as an effective melee attack.
Circuit Buster
Rettuc changes the electrical resistance of whatever he’s physically touching, either making the material more resistant, or making the material less resistant, depending on what he chooses. This is temporary and it will only adjust the resistance of that object to within a range of about +/- 10^8 ohms. As a result, Rettuc can make any material conduct electricity more or less.
Faraday’s Vengeance
Using electromagnetic induction, Rettuc can generate a magnetic field based on the type of electric current that he creates. The magnetic fields created from this can then be used to do things such as attract/repel metal, and pretty much do anything that a typical magnet can do. This does require a great deal of energy to maintain however.[/collapse]

[2] Werekill
[collapse=Character]Name: Werekill Hazelips
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Description: An average sized, white young man who normally wears dark jeans, no shirt, and a black hoodie that he got on sale at Hot Topic. He has bandages wrapped around his abdomen because it looks cool.
Personality: He is generally friendly, but he can be a little arrogant when he fights. Or fishes. Or plays music. Or competitively eats hot dogs.
Weapon(s): He uses a bracelet with a small crystal hanging from it that amplifies his magical power. He also uses a sword hilt that can freeze and attach to a long and slender stream of water, and this makes a handy impromptu sword.
Fighting Style / Basic Attacks: He uses a self-taught style whenever he uses a sword, but when he uses his water magic, he uses several common techniques, albeit with... “creative” names.
Turn on your fog lights
-This technique increasing the amount of water vapor in the air and creates a fog over the battlefield. This makes it easier to do more powerful water techniques.
Floating River
-This creates a long stream of water that a water-style magic user can manipulate. If fog is present, this technique can be nearly instantaneous.
Ice blade, mang
-This requires a Floating River to be in a long, slender form. Normally used in conjunction with a sword hilt, this technique creates a sword out of ice. The hilt replaces the freezing cold ice as a handle, but it isn't really needed if the user wears thick gloves.
Lick it and see if your tongue sticks. You know you want to.
-This creates a wall out of ice, which can be used as a shield. Like the floating river, this can be used very, very quickly if fog is present.
Hold your breath.
-This technique uses all the water vapor within a large area to create a large, spherical body of water around an enemy. The outer shell is then frozen, and the enemy drowns. Not only does this tire out the user, but the frozen shell can be shattered if enough force is used against it. Because of this, this technique is not recommended for use except for in the most desperate situations.[/collapse]
[3] Zook
[collapse=Character]Name: Chon Hondid
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Description:
Personality: Charismatic and cheerful, Chon has a way with people. Beneath his friendly facade, however, is a cunning and conniving man, easily capable of finding out what makes people laugh and what breaks their will. He uses his forceful personality to con people out of money, get out of sticky situations, and win fights without ever throwing a punch.
Weapon(s): He carries with him a few weapons: a small crossbow, a dagger, and a cane which can turn into a cobra once per day, at Chon's request.
Fighting Style / Basic Attacks: Chon tries his hardest to keep a safe distant from his enemies. He hides his identity as a spellcaster for as long as possible, using illusions to distract and confuse his foes. Chon resorts to his dagger and staff only in desperate situations.
Mind Reader
- By concentrating intensly, Chon can scan the thoughts of others. He can either seek out specific information (generally, he tries to find things which the character cares about) or get a general idea of their surface thoughts. Using this ability takes several seconds, and puts Chon in a sort of trance, causing him to ignore everything around him except for his target's thoughts. It would be very difficult - and very dangerous - to use this in the heat of battle, making it unplausable to be used to, say, dodge attacks.
Hallucination
- Chon causes an illusion to appear in his target's mind. This illusion can take on various forms, from a hallucinatory creature to hallucinatory sound and anywhere in between. Of course, the illusion isn't real, and if the character afflicted with an illusion realizes what it sees isn't real, the illusion vanishes. It takes Chon a few seconds to cast this, and requires him to moderately concentrate on it to keep it going.
Displace
- Chon snaps his fingers and displaces his image, appearing to be a few feet from where he really is. This spell lasts 30 seconds, and makes it difficult to hit him.
"Your mother was a *****."
- Words hurt, too, you know. This minor spell takes the form a short insult, and has several different outcomes, depending on how personal the target finds the insult. Barely insulting may just make them a bit angry; moderately insulting may sap a bit of their fighting will; highly insulting literally feels like a punch to the gut.
Whelm
- Chon causes his target to experience a headache. The headache becomes more painful the more he breaks their willpower, and can be used to make it appear as if illusions are hurting them.
Vertigo
- A disoriantating illusion which causes the target to feel as if the ground fell out beneath their feet.
Phantasmal Killer
- Chon creates a phantasmal image of the most fearsome creature imaginable to the subject simply by forming the fears of the subject’s subconscious mind into something that its conscious mind can visualize: this most horrible beast. Only the spell’s subject can see the phantasmal killer. Everyone else sees only a vague shape. The phantasmal killer proceeds to come in contact with its victim.[/collapse]
[4] Finalark
[collapse=Character]Name: Has no known name, goes by the title "The Red Vengeance"
Age: Unknown(looks to be late 20s/early 30s)
Gender: Male
Description: A man of average height but has a strong, muscular build. On his right cheek he bares a scar that looks like it was left by a quick slash. He has short black hair and his face is as stern and stoic as he is. Think Captain Falcon + Judge Dredd + Kenshiro
Personality: He doesn't say much around other people and tries not to form bonds or any sort of friendship. He's stoic, his face rarely gives emotion but despite this he shows through his actions that he genuinely cares for the well being of others and rises up to stop injustice when he sees it.
Weapon(s): His fists, which are covered by black gauntlets with red gems in the center of them.
Fighting Style / Basic Attacks: The Red Vengeance is a practitioner of a style of martial arts all his own, combining attacks and stances from every style that he encounters. However, he focuses on strong, steady styles rather than light and agile ones. He also has power over fire and puts it into his special attacks:
- Dainsleif: The Red Vengeance charges at his foe and grabs them, causing them to erupt into flames.
- Gram: After throwing his opponent high into the air, The Red Vengeance leaps after them, grabs them then throws them into the ground with unstoppable force after turning them into a living fireball.
- Gungir: The Red Vengeance performs a hard, strong, flaming kick (also works in mid-air).
- Hrotti: The Red Vengeance causes his entire body to engulf in flame, raising his strength and speed. However, this is only brief (lasting for about two and a half minuets) and drains him of his energy.
- Laevateinn: After slamming his flaming fist into his opponent's solar plexus, this attack sends it's target flying several yards backwards.
- Mjolnir: He charges all of his power into his fist and slams it into his opponent, causing catastrophic damage. However, he is incredibly venerable if he misses.[/collapse]
[5] Quirkynature
[collapse=Character]Name: Quain
Personality: Your standard guy, 30 years of age. No smiles. Dead eyes, like something’s gone out of him. He has an iron will, forged by 5 years in captivity and 3 years escaping. He is openly hostile when approached but calm and content when left alone.
Weapons: He carries two short swords with him and steel bracers on his arms. For the rest, add in jeans and boots, a normal shirt and an overcoat engraved on the inside that provides limited protection from magical assault. And a codpiece, because some people just want to hit where it hurts.
Fighting style: His style depends on flashy deception. He twirls and weaves in and out a lot. As such, he has a lot of near misses, but those near misses are purposefully done—to wear the opponent down slowly, but steadily.
Rush
Quain rushes forward very quickly and strikes at his opponent’s legs with one sword and at the opponent’s torso with the other. If, and only if, he misses, or the opponent steps back, he steps forward and strikes again. If that, too, misses, he trips and falls. Chains into Focus only.
Focus
Once every five minutes, Quain can deflect one attack completely. Think of it as perfectshielding, but once every five minutes. Since he has two swords, it essentially means one free hit as long as it’s close range. If not, it chains into Rush or Tension.
Blur
Multiple images of Quain appear on the battlefield, the real Quain among them. He cannot attack while in this state, however, because it uses too much concentration and he is still a n00b at it. Primarily used defensively. Offensively, he can appear behind the opponent. Key word: can. Using this move leaves him drained and unable to use any special moves for twenty seconds.
Tension
He coils like a spring and sprints forward in bursts to throw the opponent off track as to when he will strike. The last burst fully closes the distance, his swords extended to impale the opponent on them. Chains well into Saccade.
Saccade
A primarily offensive move, where he can move preternaturally fast within a radius of six feet for five seconds. Using this move puts a great deal of strain on his legs, and makes it difficult to move for twenty seconds.[/collapse]
[6] Fuzz
[collapse=Character]Name: Warren Stone
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Description: (Images can be used)
A tall, kind of scruffy white male. A guy who is fairly skinny and a little bit taller then average. but always wears a scowl. Always wearing a T shirt and Beanie. His hair is like a mop, unkept and dirty.
Personality:
He is a man who is passionate about winning this tournament. He doesn't care much for fighting and used to be incredibly carefree living a life of peace. He had a passion for the arts and loved indulging in creative pursuits such as painting, DJing and producing music. He started working on a unique style of martial arts because he lived in a dangerous town, and although violence clashed with his personality the style of martial arts and his unique weapons were so dangerous he became infamous and feared for them. He was captured and imprisoned by the tournaments organisers, They currently have his lover taken captive and the condition he has been given for her safe return has been to win this tournament. Now he doesn't care who he has to kill to get her or his old life back.
Weapon(s):
Recimitars- He uses a pair of refined scimitars originally made from a broken vinyl record which have certain time-based qualities.
Fighting Style / Basic Attacks:
He fights using two swords and has a lot of attacks that manipulate time though some have drawbacks.
First and foremost he has a strong sense of rhythm and is good at seeing through patterns in peoples attack.
Largo- A technique which slows down Warren's perception of time. This technique is used to read the patterns of a persons body language and predict and understand the fundamental basics of the attacks.
To start up the technique warren must put his swords together and form a whole record. It is then that the record starts to spin and his perception of time becomes affected.
While using Largo Warren must keep completely still. He simply cannot move. the technique is useful for observation only and warren can exit Largo at any time.
Decellerando- A technique which slows down the opponent. Puts warren in immense pain. The pain distracts his focus so much he is unable to attack properly. This technique is only used to dodge, repeated uses are incredibly debilitating. can only be used twice in a day or warren will need to be hospitalised
Accelerando- An attack which is a sped up flurry of slashes. The attack is so fast most slashes are invisible to the naked eye. lasts for a maximum of 4 seconds but is visibly tiring to use.
Crescendo- places recimitars and causes records to spin to create a loud noise which is used to reveal the location of the enemy
Fortissimo- Slashes which are so strong they cause strong gusts of wind which can send opponents off their feet but not flying back-- used to disrupt the "tempo" of the enemy[/collapse]
[7] Sephiroths Masamune
[collapse=Character]Name: Seph
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Description: Has the height of 6 feet 1 inch and has a fairly muscular build. He wears a black leather outfit and has his jacket open so people can see his abs.
Personality: Usually calm and collect, but is very decisive. He has a strong mind and thinks alot during the heat of battle and will focus all his attention towards the enemy.
Weapons: He owns a Katana crafted from a meteorite, it is made of a special alloy that is indestructible and resistant to any element know to man. This sword is so sharp it can cut through diamond.
Fighting Style: Seph only purpose in life was to become the world’s most powerful swordsman. At an early age he became a sword master by fighting his master in a one on one dual to the death. Soon after he searched the world in order to find someone who could match his skill, all the while learning the ways of the sword as he fought. He now knows every move in sword play. Since Masamune is resistant to any form of element, Seph has to rely on his swordsmanship, so Seph journeyed to find ways to improve his abilities of speed and supernatural movement to compliment his swordsmanship.
Mimic
-Seph sword play is skilled enough to mimic the others move in mid combat. He cannot mimic the elemental aspects of the move but he can mimic the motion, movement and force of the blade. This will take as much energy it is required for the original move minus the elemental strain.
Teleportation
-Seph gathers energy to teleport around the stage, this move is fast but takes alot of energy doing so, and should be used sparingly.
Arial Rush
-Slashes the opponent into the air, moves behind them and slashes them towards the ground. If Seph misses with the initial slash he automatically goes into the air because of how fast you need to react with this move leaving him wide open for an attack.
Oblivions Draw
-Sephs ultimate move, he moves at blinding speeds and slashes you multiple times faster than the eye can see. This move is a last resort and not an instant kill although it does do high damage. After this move Seph will be vulnerable for most the remainder of the match.[/collapse]
[8] Cutter
[collapse=Character]Name: Rettuc
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Description: A moderately tall (6’2”) white man, Rettuc wears mainly all black clothing, including a leather jacket.
Personality: Erratic by nature, Rettuc can be frenzied and excited one moment and stoic and analytic the next. He tends to side more on the impulsive side though, and enjoys being able to take action while not trying to err on the side of stupidity or pride.
Weapons: Rettuc is able to generate, magnify, and manipulate electric fields and electric currents. He creates them by converting any other form of energy around him, such as metabolic energy in his body, or the thermal energy from sunlight on his skin into electrical energy.
Rettuc also carries a three-foot sword named Volta. It is entirely made of a metal (including the hilt) that has perfect superconductivity at room temperature.
Fightning style/basic attacks: Most of Rettuc’s attacks come from his electricity manipulation, though the Volta can be used to channel and focus other attacks for some long-range or mostly melee attacks. While he can fight at both long-range and melee ranges, Rettuc prefers to engage enemies at midrange.
Power Surge
Rettuc’s basic energy-based attack. Rettuc creates an electric current and projects either hand outward to send it out to any given target(s). The voltage is directly proportional to how much energy is used.
Volta Shaft
Rettuc raises Volta and either raises it into the air or slams it into the ground. Electricity will flow from Rettuc into Volta effortlessly as the electricity is then transferred to the medium that it’s touching. This can be used as an area-of-effect attack and its effectiveness depends on the resistance of the medium that the electricity flows through, among other factors. It also doubles as an effective melee attack.
Circuit Buster
Rettuc changes the electrical resistance of whatever he’s physically touching, either making the material more resistant, or making the material less resistant, depending on what he chooses. This is temporary and it will only adjust the resistance of that object to within a range of about +/- 10^8 ohms. As a result, Rettuc can make any material conduct electricity more or less.
Faraday’s Vengeance
Using electromagnetic induction, Rettuc can generate a magnetic field based on the type of electric current that he creates. The magnetic fields created from this can then be used to do things such as attract/repel metal, and pretty much do anything that a typical magnet can do. This does require a great deal of energy to maintain however.[/collapse]
Is this strictly reserved for people who know how to play?
