BoD v. SotM -- fight/character info inside

[LocoColt04]

Note: This thread (and this competition) is no longer in the TOA forum, so ignore anything regarding TOA you see in here. Thanks.


Yep, that's right. Brotherhood of Doom has challenged the Soldiers of the Moderate. And I'm hosting. (So of course I'm not judging, because that would be unfair. I'll get some ex-RPBers to come in and look it over or something.)

Here's the plan. Whoever posts in their respective threads first gets to set the stage. I see no reason why all the fights have to be held in the same place, and I want this pseudo-tournament to be more coherent than the Light v. Dark fight was. This means that none of the fights have to be in the same environment, let alone the same time period. Each fight is independent of the next.

Also, when I say pseudo, I mean that there aren't any brackets... just a set of one-on-one fights.

Anywho, that's more or less it. Standard rules apply. Be sure to check out the announcement for an in-depth look at what godmodding is. I'm not saying anyone's stupid, but some people might not know or may have forgotten.


As more pairs are made, just post them in this thread so I can keep track of what's going on and open up the new threads.

And, like in the RPB section, no signatures in the fights. (I don't care if you have them here in this thread though... I'm not that picky.)


ALSO, USE THIS THREAD FOR POSTING YOUR CHARACTERS' STATISTICS.
I don't care about signatures though, at least, not for this thread.

Do not link to them elsewhere; just paste (or write) the bio in here. It makes it a lot easier to keep track of things, right? Right.

Edit: I vote time-based, and like I said, I'll try for 4 posts per week.

Name: Cadavre
Age: 155
Gender: Male
Height: 6' 1"
Eyes: Yellow
Hair: Black
Fleshtone: Pale green
Specie: A human assassin turned Wraith at the age of 36.
Class: Assassin/Ninja
Allegence: TFF Darkside (also referred to as the Brotherhood of Doom)
Abilities: Blade of Icey Depths, Blade of Unholy Vengeance. Must chant incantations to use these spells.
Weapon: Wakizashis, shuriken throwing knives
Strengths: While only twice the strength of a physically fit human, his speed is something else.
Weaknesses: vulnerable to holy and fire magic
Tactics: Usually hides in the shadows or the trees until the time is right to strike.

[LocoColt04]

I'll post my character info in once I actually write one up. I decided to go all-new with this fight, considering the time and your first post. (And no, it's no trouble at all.)


But FIRST, an important question -- do we want to put a time limit on however many threads happen to come along, or should they all be open until both writers agree that it's more or less dead?

I only ask because I intend to have the TOA start sometime during that first full week of April. I don't mind having the BoD/SotM threads active during the tournament, but I was just wondering if you guys (by you guys, I mean either side... not necessarily just the dark side) had a preference.

Personally, I'd like to leave the fights open until each one dies off. At that point in time, we'll find some nonpartisan judges to look them over as they come to a close. But hey, that's just my opinion. Just because I'm hosting doesn't mean I should make ALLLLL the decisions -- after all, the BoD was the one that made the challenge in the first place.

(By the way, when I said time limit, I meant on total thread life. No limit between posts or anything stupid like that.)



edit:
Whee! New character!
(on second thought.. I keep getting distracted. Soon, anyway)

((haha, wow, sorry for the wait... creative lapse))


Name: Elisabeth, <forums don't like Greek, apparently> (Greek: Master of Self)
Age: Unknown
Gender: Female
Race: Demi-Human
Height: 5ft 5in - 165 cm
Weight: 117 pounds - 53kg - 8.36 stone
Eyes: light gray
Hair: autumn blonde (a light blonde with a subtle tint of red)
Complexion: Mediterranean olive-toned skin

Alignment: Soldiers of the Moderate

Clothing:
A short black cloak, mid-thigh, sleeves torn off, hood usually down. Around each bicep, a white leather sheath for her daggers. Handles face downward for quick release, daggers are held in place by a leather strap which snaps onto the sheath. Around the right thigh, two white leather belts with four loops each for throwing knives. Knife tips rest in the lower belt, handles in the upper. No footwear.

Armor: None


Main Class: Monk
This isn't your traditional Final Fantasy monk, either. I'm talking inner chi and paper spells. Spiritual attacks rather than physical magic. You'll see. You'll all see.

Sub Class: Warrior
It only makes sense that a heroine of the earth would be skilled in various forms of weaponry, right? No supreme strength, no excessive skill. Just enough knowledge to pick up anything with a blade and know what she's doing. Knives are her specialty.


Weaponry: Twin daggers, throwing knives
Each dagger features a four-inch handle wrapped in black leather, a slight crossguard, and a nine-inch pure silver blade sharp on both sides. Throwing knives are made of iron, four-inch handle with a flat ring at the end, six inch blade sharp on both sides, no crossguard.

Magic: Paper spells, spiritual magic
Through spells scribed on small rolls of paper, Elisabeth can summon the various natural elements of the earth -- fire, water, and electricity. She usually carries two of each spell into battle, though that isn't always the case.

From centuries of rigorous studies and meditation, Elisabeth has learned to fully control the spirits which reside within her. Through psychic impulses and concentrated energies, she can harass her opposition with unseen forces. Though very skilled, any serious spiritual channeling takes a lot out of Elisabeth, and is generally used as a last resort technique.

Name:Surtur
age: stopped aging at 27
race: Once human but twisted by necromacy into an undead warrior.

heigth:7'0"
Sex:male

Primary Class: Barbarian.
Secondary Class: Necromancer

Sprits of hate: Summons spirits of vengeful pagans to inflict damage, accurate but they may turn on castor if he has less than half health.

Magic:Necromancy

Weapon:Gram: sword given to him by odin himself onced weilded by Sigurd himself contains his spirit and may cause user to go berserk when health is low.

Armor:Black Plate Mail of the Niblung:Black armor forged by the dwarves for use by a hero worthy of valhalla.

Strengths:
Inhuman strength: several times stronger than normal humans.
gift of immortality:Never gets tired and is extremely tough.

Weaknesses:
Vunerable to holy magic and steadily loses health under the sun.
Poor judgement:may charge into the fray even when it's not a good Idea

Bio:
Origin:A Lone figure stood atop the ledge overlooking the battlefeild. Surtur watched the armies of light and dark clash below him and smiled to himself. "Tonight will mark the begining of the end for the christian scum. Surtur was the one of the last survivor of the Christianization of Scandinavia. He had led the berserkers rebellion against the king and was defeat after a long and vicous fight. He had scince wandered to the furthest corner of the north and came at last upon a deserted castle and heard the wolves howling as he entered, welcoming him. As he entered he was flanked by two statues of Odin and the corpses of those long dead, most of them bore the cross. Surtur felt a prescence and knew he was not alone and felt a current of unholy energy course through him. He suddenly saw before him Odin and, as he looked around he was not in the castle anymore. He was surrounded by star and wraith. They were beutiful but terrible to behold, this was place beyond the world and time itself. Sutur saw the battle of light and dark rage a across a million worlds and many of them were falling to the light. Suddenly Odin appeared before him and siad but two words "Go forth". Surtur suddenly awoke in the castle and know knew what he must do. He descended deeper into the fortress pass the endless bodies and bloodied dungeons, the victems forever frozen in time. He at last came to the lowest chamber and saw a statue of himself. It was like him in every detail except that it bore the cross upon it's sheild. Withpout warning the statue attacked Surtur, impaling him in the stomach and withrew it's sword leaving Surtur bleeding upon the ground. Surtur with his dieing breath struck the statue with his axe and shattered it. As he lay dying Odin again apeared before him. "The statue you faced was an embodiment of everything holy and good within you and when you shattered it you killed that part of yourself, you have passed the test". Odin wove a spell of the darkest Necromancy "I give you a new life, a better life now go forth, for as you can see light is beginning to triumph you must NOT let that happen, now Go and way the light feel your unholy wrath". Sutrur then traveled the land unliving, gathering pagan warriors both living and dead.

His army approached him from behind and Surtur turned to face them. "prepare to attack, today we begin our true struggle against light, We have sworn to fight with ToroMor and the brotherhood of doom and know it is time to deliver on that promise "

The time for Vengence has come.

The story so far: Sutur had come late to the battle of light and dark only to see Melignant crushed by Dark Christ and had not yet proven himself worthy of the power given to him, but with new prey his opportunity will come.

[LocoColt04]

That's nice, but do you know who you're fighting against yet? I know Atma-Noah is up for the conflict, so maybe you should go ask him. ^_^

Send him a PM or something? Or even just go ask him in the Moderates' thread? You know, considering the fact that I keep posting in yours... it's fair, I s'pose.


Also, this --

Odins Sacrifice:Impales himself on spear to inflict a blow that will always hit but sacrifices one fifth of health

-- will never fly with the judges, because it's a blatant godmod. Also, I'm not sure whether summoning undead minions is really a godmod or not (I've never really dealt with such a thing), but I'm gonna advise against it, just so it doesn't work against you whenever your thread gets judged. I mean, turning a fight from a 1-on-1 to a 5-on-1 sounds pretty unfair, eh?

[ToroMor]

Hail everyone!

First, a small preface.
At least some of the members of the BoD have somewhat fixed characters. Since the tournaments are held between the two clubs, we would want to use these chars. So I would like to post "original" char infos with abilities already posted in prev battles or in the club. This surely includes some erm.. at least "questionable" abilities/bios etc. from a judging point of view. But we could simply not use them. I will put a section "Special fight configuration" into my char info. For example, ToroMor will not use his soul drinking blade or his necromantic healing magic. I hope this is fine for everyone.

Now what's more important:

I HEREBY CHALLENGE ANYONE OF THE SOLDIERS OF THE MODERATE!!
PM me anytime or post here or whatever!
(Besides Loco and Atma, who are reserved for Cadavre and Sulfur)


My char:
---------------------------------------------------
Name: ToroMor
Aliases/Titles: The Dark Knight, Christ of Darkness

Alignment: pure evil
Main Class: Fighter
Sub Class: Necromancer

Age: at least more than 2000 years. Immortal.
Gender: male
Race: perhaps once human, now demon
Height: around 225 cm (around 7.5 feet)
Weight: around 165 kg (around 360 pounds)
Eyes: glowing red
Hair: black
Skin: pale white, covered with thick black hair
Short description: a bulky dark giant, a demonic war machine. The spearhead of every army. A juggernaut of destruction.

Strength: abnormal, insane.
Speed/Agility: really not a fast runner but astonishing agile with weapons.
Intelligence: well, even if his evil plots sometimes show signs of ingenuity, he is still hopelessly mad.
Robustness: superhuman
Stamina: his enormous muscles consume his stamina in no time, but he tends to fall in berzerker rage, enabling him to use secret reserves.
Magic/Mana: not really that gifted, but in his endless quests he became a scary necromancer.
Special weakness: bright light and holy stuff. It really pisses him.

Standard clothing/Armor:
- self made, very thick and heavy knights armor consisting of blackened metal and boosted with reflecting black magic.
- gauntlets, boots and helmet just like the main armor
In other words: a tank.

Standard Weapons:
Month Morra Morrigu, an ancient demon in the shape of a 2-handed, dark grey sword with the ability to consume souls and deliver necromantic magic from them to its master.

Magic:
A variety of dark, mainly necromantic, magic spells.

Bio:
Some philosophers once stated that he is the reincarnation of a cruel demon from the dark abyss of time, cursed by the gods of chaos with endless wandering through the worlds, to bring fear and damnation on his voyage and to finally cover all light that trembles through the naked depths of cosmos with eternal blackness. But maybe he is just what seems obvious to himself: that dark knight who once took off to gather fame and honor with his sword and who, with all the magic powers he aquired on his endless travels, remained a warrior in the core of his existence.
And who will continue to travel and conquer the worlds until someday he will meet an opponent strong enough to end his journey.

Fight specific configuration:
For the tournament, ToroMor will mainly rely on his core fighter abilities.
He will not use his armor and his sword.
He will use a rather "normal" blade, few or no armor, bare breasted.
He intends to use only a minimum of magic, besides for some show off effects.

[Atma-Noah]

Yeah I know my avy sucks Necro. I accept your challenge aswell. Don't know why you'd want my soul though? So here's my character. Which is Necro's character's name. Is it Sutur or Sulfur? I'm going to use the basic outline of my character from the moderate rp.
(There are references from Soul Calibur 2)

Name: Kurt Ronan
Age: 32
Race:Human
Height:6'3
Weight:200 lbs
Eyes:Hazel
Hair:Red, medium length, unkept. His bangs usually parted.

Clothing: Grey muscle shirt, an auburn scarf around his neck and lower half of his face, black pants. A glove on his right hand.


Armor: None


Main Class: Mercenary


Sub Class: None




Weaponry: One of the two Lethes. This is one of the legendary twin swords. It is said that those who grip these weapons finds their heart rendered blank. Unable to even remember who the are. They have acted as the final trap that put an end to many a quest. Those who wield this power are said to unleash it's power by burning away their own lives.


Magic: Dosen't have any.



Bio: At one time was a normal mecenary usually found in pubs drinking away his past mistakes. One day he heard about two swords that when weilded together would erase everything he knew.

Thinking that it would be a quick fix to erasing his past. He travelled the world going from job to job hoping it would bring him closer to his goal.

It was winter when his search lead him to an underground harbour that pirates from the past used to hide their ships. He searched the wreckage of ships until he heard it. The sound of laughter but not like a child's giggling it was dark and almost in mocking. He followed it still. As the laughter grew he came to a ship called The Adrian.

Entering the ship he saw where the laughter had come from. A pirate captain stood before him. "Come with me to hell." The captain said drawing his weapons. The two Lethes. Seeing the captains pale blue skin Kurt realized the captain was an undead. Kurt nodded and drew his long sword.

The battle raged within the old ship but at the end Kurt stood victorious. Before Kurt could kill the pirate. The undead tossed one of the Lethes into the ocean. Kurt knew he needed both to erase his past. Quickly he dived after it. As soon as his flesh touched the blade he blanked out.

Kurt awoke on a nearby shore, without memories. Something was wrong though. He couldn't taste the salty water nor could he smell it. He had become emotionless, he was unable to taste and smell. Not even revenge had overcome him. Now knowing the cost of the Lethe he seathed it and drove his long sword into the ground promising he would get back what he had lost.

Abilities:
Lethes toll: The Lethe absorbs some of the owners life in exchange for a great boost of speed.
Twins calling: With his Lethe Kurt slashs the ground causing a shock wave.

[Kyreaan]

Greetings.
I have somewhat of an unusual request. See, I'd like to chronicle this faction battle, but through roleplay not just through a simple post. If it is ok with everyone, I'd like to post every now and again in the battle threads. My character will not interfere in anything that takes place. He will sit and watch from afar writing accounts and making visual depictions of what is taking place. This will most likely turn out to be my main or 'fixed' character in SotM since I never completed one.
I'm not sure if anyone's ever rp'ed an artistic-bardic pc in their respective factions; it seems everyone prefers combat monkeys. But, to each his own, right?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the character:

Name: Anuiehn Kyreaan
Aliases?: The Black Troubadour

Alignment: neutral; SotM
Main Class: troubadour
Sub Class: fighter

Age: 265
Gender: male
Race: Human, however, his race of people do not age at the rate of humans on this plane. He looks only 29.
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 185 lb
Eyes: silver
Hair: dark blond, shoulder length
Skin: caucasian, Nordic complexion

Strength: above human average, but not as it once was
Speed/Agility: very quick when he has to be, but he has been very shaky due to drug problems
Intelligence: very astute and sharp, genius
Stamina: does not have very much stamina due to current health problems
Magic/Mana: some, but is not as advanced as any wizard
Special weakness: Anuiehn suffers from an addiction of a powdery drug made from the blue mushroom. As much as he travels his stamina is low, and his hands often shake. He does not engage in combat like he used to, but can defend himself if need be.

Standard Clothing/Armor:
-wears a regal looking long coat that is mostly black with dark brown leather pants and boots
-also wears scale and chain armor covering his upper body and jewel studded leather gloves

Standard Weapons:
-he has had many weapons, but now carries only a high quality, Russian-style cavalry sabre, which he keeps for defensive and sentimental reasons

Magic:
Basic cantrips and bardic magic; can sing and cause low to mid-level effects

Short Bio:
Anuiehn hails from a different space and time. He looks like any other human except for his eyes. He is alien to this plane like so many others he has traveled before. Anuiehn was once a straight fighter, but now seeks knowledge and the knowledge for all, while helping people for a price.

[LocoColt04]

Ummm... no.

Considering the fact that the fights aren't even in the same place, let alone the same time, you can't feasibly have a character in multiple planes of existance. On top of that, I couldn't let you post in anyone else's thread anyway.

This isn't RP. It's RPB. Interruptions ruin the flow of the fights.

Completely different guidelines for this style of writing. "Combat monkeys" are exactly what you want for a brawl.


edit:
You know what though? You went through the trouble of creating a character, so I'm gonna let you use him.

I'll set up a bystanders' thread where you, and whomever else isn't going to fight, can post their "observations" on the fights at hand.

I'll let you and the others decide exactly how you're gonna pull off the multi-dimensional spectating thing though. Use your imagination. You said your character was an alien, so go with something technology-based. You could make it work if you really wanted to.

[Kyreaan]

Alright. That works for me. I think I have a way to make it work, although it would only involve my character. Others would be on their own.
-And as I said before, yea, I haven't touched this forum in a long time.

[ToroMor]

It looks like there will be no opponent for me.
For this, I consider some comments too.
But only if it's fine with you Kyreaan.

EDIT: OMG I called Surtur "Sulfur". Alzheimer meets Freud.
