Tournament Information and Standings

[LocoColt04]

And so it begins.

If you have absolutely zero experience with RPBs or non-spam RPs, it's likely you won't be accepted into the tournament. Aside from that, if you've got any roleplaying experience under your belt, by all means, sign right up. I'm not going to ask for proof of anything, only that you be honest and avoid the tournament if you're either unprepared or know you'll be inactive for long periods of time.


PLEASE READ ALL OF THE INFORMATION PRIOR TO SIGNING UP.


When creating your character, keep all of the following in mind:

• You will have TWO characters -- one for the "real" world and one for the "digital" world.
• Your real character must be within the timeframe. Though no specific year is given, it is to be assumed that the tournament takes place late in the 23rd century.
• You will not be fighting with your real characters. There is a system (explained later) that will allow your characters to fight.
• Your character may have only ONE alter-ego; however, that alter-ego can have UP TO THREE different sets of armor and weaponry. This does not mean you have to have three.
• At the start of each fight, you must choose one set (set involves both armor and weapon, so they cannot be mixed and matched with other sets) for use in that fight.
• The alter-ego can be any race from any world from any time period, but equipment must reflect the alter-ego's timeframe. If it does not, you may be asked to make the appropriate changes, or be left out of the tournament.
• This tournament bends the rules, in that projectile weaponry is allowed; however, curative magic is still against the rules, and will count against you in judging the threads.

Now, as for the reason WHY you need an alter-ego:

• All battles will take place on a holodeck. If you are a Trekkie, you know what I'm talking about. Note that there is one major difference, and you'll spot it immediately.
• The real characters do not actually fight. They send their alter-egos into the holodeck to do their bidding. Unfortunately, any pain received in the digital world is recreated (in a less intense form) in the real world. Your real characters will receive no physical damage, but will feel as though everything is real.
• Characters enter the digital world by stepping into cylindrical tubes that link a computer database directly to their minds. This is why any pain experienced in the digital world is recreated in the real world.
• The first user to be uploaded into the holodeck can create a setting of his or her choice.*
• Again, remember that the equipment chosen upon entry cannot be changed once inside the holodeck.

* - for instance, Spike and I are about to fight. Spike enters the digital world first, and chooses to fight atop a cliff, with raging waters below and strong winds above. I have no choice but to go along with this environment, so I would choose the set of equipment which would benefit me the most in this situation prior to entering battle.


About the holodeck itself:

• Environments may be as large or as small as the creator chooses. Adequate descriptions of the environment should be included in the introductory post so that the other participant knows what to expect.
• Environments which prove to be impossible to maneuver in will be changed by the judges. Such is the joy of using a digital world, eh? Don't worry -- this will rarely happen, if at all. Use your creative liberty to make it rough on your opponents.

About the "real" world:

• Alter-egos are never seen in the real world.
• Characters are situated together in a large facility on Earth. All characters are from Earth (remember, it's the alter-egos that can be from anywhere). Within this large facility are dozens of holodecks, as well as a hotel area with restaurants, so that everyone has a place to stay for the duration of the tournament.

All of the information above is in its final format. Do not ask for anything to be changed.


The tournament will be in a round-robin format. This means that every single participant will face every single other participant. Rounds will go on until this is complete. With an odd number of players, every person will receive ONE BYE ROUND. With an even number of players, there will be NO BYE ROUNDS.

If you know for a fact a timeframe which you will not be available for more than five days, please make a note of these times in your post. I will try my best to give bye rounds when they are needed. In case of conflicts, first come, first serve.

Scoring is done via points at the end of each round. Two for a win, one for a tie, and zero for a loss. This makes not only judgement, but participation a little easier, as there is less pressure on all of us. If you don't post at all during one of the rounds, you lose a point.


You have until Wednesday, 10 August 2005, to sign up. I apologize for not having this ready a couple days ago, but... well, it's here now. With that, I say go for it.

[Mistress Sheena]

Alrighty. I shall sign up. Let me muster up a character profile. I'll probably use my BoD character as the Alter-Ego, and make up some average profile for the 'real' person.
--------------------------
Alter Ego
Name: Victoria
Age: 21
Hair: Red/Black
Eyes: Grey (Red when angry.)
Ethnicity: Latina

Appearance: Her outfit consists of: This. Except imagine the cuffs rolled up higher to not get snagged by her shoes.
Set 2: Black pants that fall down to her ankles. A black long sleeve top covering her would-be clevage. A black headband that ties her hair into a ponytail.

Background: Usually indifferent about most things, except for things that interest her. Is known to have a very bad temper. A decently sized fuse, but if it manages to reach the end, it is told that she 'awakens'.

Description:
Species: Human, although people say differently when they witness her anger. Some say that she becomes silently agile and sometimes is known to vanish. She can't get a job anywhere cause of her temper problem. So she lives as an Author. Her victims, those rare enough to survive her wrath, say she's the incarnation of Lilith.

Weapons (Set 1) : Kunai, Fingernails, Shruiken, Throwing Daggers.
Set 2: Broadsword, Bow & Arrow, Fingernails (Not the normal kind, mind you. If you've seen Hunter x Hunter, it's the assassin kind that Killua uses. He manipulates his nails to turn into claws, so that's what I mean.)
Set 3: Shruiken, Throwing Daggers, 2 Short Swords.

Strengths: A high intellect and a tactical mastermind. Due to her creativity as an author, many ideas flow into her head.

Okay, one issue. I need you to organize things into three (or fewer) sets. So, when it comes to equipment, you'll want to divide things that way. Pair up weaponry with armor (or in your case, no armor in any of the sets?) Of course, if all of that is supposed to be one set, and your character is only going to have that single set of equipment, then you don't have to worry about it. Just keep that in mind though, because this thread is closed upon the start of the tournament, and you won't be able to use anything that isn't listed in your profile.

This goes for everyone, and is probably something I should have mentioned beforehand.

For instance,

*sample profile*

Name: Bob
all sorts of physical features
blah blah etc.

Equipment
Set 1: blah
-- Armor
-- Weaponry
Set 2: blah squared
-- Armor
-- Weaponry
Set 3: infinity blah
-- Armor
-- Weaponry

bio or whatever, blah blah, etc. again


I thought this would have been assumed, but I suppose an example would have been better. That's a mistake on my part. So, for you and those of you who haven't signed up yet, keep this in mind when creating your profiles.

[Malevolence]

--REAL-WORLD--

Name: Alex Nolan
Age: 23
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 130 lbs.
Hair: Red, fauxhawk
Eyes: Hazel

--DIGITAL--

..name.. Taere Flarion
..age.. 26
..height.. 5'10"
..weight.. 150 lbs.
..hair.. dark brown, fauxhawk forward (result of unrestrained RSI)
..eyes.. green


..set 1 - battle-hardened..
..weaponry..
--Malevolence - An Idari-made crystal blade, with a reservoir hilt for storing liquid crystal when sheathed. The blade edge is coated in chorizite, a magic-nullifying mineral.
--Gauntlet Blade - An extendable blade from the left guantlet of the Idari Battle Armour Taere wears.
..armour..
--Full Idari Battle Armour - a large set of the following - a breastplate, pauldrons, gauntlets, a set of full-leg greaves, and a pelvic armour piece. The armour is linked to an under-armour tightsuit by crystal and mithril wires, detecting and interpreting nerve signals to enhance and correct muscle movements. It is powered by three solar-celled topazes mounted in each of the guantlets and the breastplate. The suit is also linked the Blacksun Fulter in Taere's eyes, using a multitracker, UV-enhancer and light filter to enhance battle perception. The armour also includes a flashbang launcher and a plasma overflow vent directed from the right gauntlet.

..set 2 - night-fighting..
..weaponry..
--Sahanannoron - A 4-foot compound bow carved in the shape of two althernately-facing knarled horns of a dragon, with composite joints of sinews and mithril cord. The bow can convert force equivalent to a 20-pound pull to the firing force of a 200-ppound pull.
--Graphite Arrows - A set of arrows made from solid blocks of naturally occurring graphite, Taere carries a set of 2 quivers of graphite arrows, each containing 25 two-foot shafts tipped with obsidian heads. The arrows are fletched with feathers from Pyrian Green Eagles.
--Straightblades - Straightblades are long, double-edged swords of Shojuni manufacture that are reknowned for their hardness and well-tempered, stay-sharp blades. Taere carries 2 when night-fighting for quick strikes. After they were purchased, Taere modified them with pieces of Idari blade-crystal to be better-weighted for quick strikes and to have an extra 4 inches of thin, almost invisible cutting edge on the tip of the blades.
..armour..
--Partial Idari Armour - When night-fighting, Taere only wears the top breastplate and gauntlets (the three power sources) of the Idari armour. The Blacksun Filter still works because of the presence of the power source, and Taere still has limited strength enhancement, though less so as to have less weight to carry for fast movement and high dexterity at night.
--Light Supplemental Armour - Taere, in addition to the three main components of the Idari Armour, also wears smaller pieces of protective yet sparse armour to be used at night. The ses comprises pauldrons, greaves, and an abdoemen guard, all made of mithril plating coated in quietsilk to silence the joints and edges of the plates.

Maybe I'll write a bio later.

[Akira]

Real World Character

Name: Kenji Matsura

Age: 19

Hair: Brown

Eyes: Brown

Ethnicity: Asian (Japanese)

Height: 5' 8"

Weight: 150 lbs.

Appearance: Wears a red leather jacket with red biker pants. His hair is never really done in any special style.

Bio: A normal Japanese teen who likes to ride his custom motorcycle and participate in battle tournaments.



Alter-ego

Name: Akira Kurosawa "Giroan Berserker"

Age: 22

Hair: Pretty long black hair

Eyes: brown with yellow right around the pupil

Race: Giroan Berserker Warrior

Height: 5' 12"

Weight: 190 lbs.

Appearance: Quite a tall man who's build is pretty muscular. He wears a black samurai linen covered by his strong armor. He usually wears a helmet an mask that cover his face which is said to be scarred and a terribe sight for any eyewitness. His mighty sword, which he wears on the side of his hip, is never farther than 4 inches from his hand. He will also occasionally wears his mighty bow on his back.

Background: Akira was a legendary warrior that stemmed from a warlike country known as Giro (GEE-RRO). He used to be an average boy in the ranks of one of the Giroan warlords but quickly distinguished himself as an extraordinary soldier and warrior. He would go on to win many battles, leading armies and sending his enemies to their awaiting doom.

One day, at one of the armies camps, he went to explore the surroundings and to secure the parimeter. He stumbled upon a dark cave. He could feel something very eary coming from this place and decided to adventure further. It was dark and he could barely see anything. Then all of a sudden, a small faint glow was noticeable. Akira's curiosity got the better of him and he continued ever more. He eventually made it to a small pedestal which held up a box. There was ancient writing on the lid which was glowing faintly. Slowly opening the box, he felt the eary feeling increase, until he saw the inside of the box. It was a finely forged sword, that had a similar luminescent writing on the blade, as the box had on the lid. He picked up the mighty sword and fealt an incredible strength cover his body. He started to shake irradically. He returned to the camp, hiding his new find. The next battle he was in, he pulled out the sword, which then took control of him. He had no more will and crushed his enemies with massive blows. After the battle the fellow soldiers were shocked by the power exsuding(sp?) from the warrior, who from that day on was referred to as the "Giroan Berserker".


Set 1: "Of the Brute"

-- Armor:
Giroan Armor of the Dark Warrior: He wears a full white body armor consisting of a white breast plate, a black linen, white shoulder and hip covers, brownish white hip bracing, two white gauntlets, black ankle and wrist guards, white shin plates, and a white helmet and black mask that covers his head. The breast plate is a leather coupled breast plate made of mythril that has the engraving of a huge demonic beast on it with two red rubies for eyes. This engraving is reoccuring on the rest of the armor. The gauntlets are not traditonal and are much more lacking in size and weight, as to not hinder any movement of the weapon. They consist of a daimond plated hand guard and a mythril base. They also are able to shoot little poisonous needles out from the top of the hand (kind of like wolverines claws, only they leave the hand and dont stay attached). The hip and shoulder covers are made of finely woven mythril and leather plates to optimize defense and mobility and bring these two elements their optimum points. The hip brace is made of a hard leather and diamond material which has a small hollow running down the middle which contains a steroid like drug that boosts the abilities of the warrior in crucial moments. The drug is immediately inserted into the blood stream when the body falls below a certain strength level. The wrist and ankle guards have all been created using the most advanced Giro smithing/synthing techniques to give the best defense while not surrendering agility. Therefore they were created from a back dragons hide, which has hardened over time to create the perfect protection for joints and other vital areas. The shins are protected using two finely forged plates of crystal and mythril that are fastened by a mechanical closing device making the protection go from the shin all the way around to the calf (sp?). Lastly he wears a white samurai helmet that has been created molding a pure slab of mythril into the shape of his head making it only useable by him. The neck guard of the helmet was then made weaving leather with diamond silk strings making a strong yet extremely lightweight form of protection. The helemt can also be attached to a black mask that has the face of the evil demon that is pictured on the breast plate. This mask used to only serve the purpose of scaring would-be enemies but no one has seen the mighty warriors face in years. What lurks under this mask is unknown to all.

-- Weaponry:
Jin's Revenge is a mighty katana style sword that was forged by dark magics long ago in the caves of Hotu. It consists of a masterfully smithed diamond and mythril material which still seems to take on a dark almost putrid black color. There is, however, luminescet writing on the blade which captivates any passer byer to take a second look. The handle of the katana is made of the finest ivory wrapped in a brownish maroon silk to give it grip and make it almost stick to the wielders hand. It is said that the sword holds the spirit of dark demon and grants the user mystical powers. Some have even recorded the user of the sword to be possesed at times, right before a whole battlefield was drenched with the blood of a thousand men.
Gauntlet needle shot are the poisonous needles that shoot out of the gauntlets of the fierce beserker warrior. They are black in color and as good as invisible in the night making them perfect for assasinations and sniping. Their range is however limited and could never outdue the purpose of a bow.


Set 2: "Berserker's Mountain Kit"

-- Armor:
Giroan Armor of the Dark Warrior (scout version) minus the hip and and wrist covers making mobility in the mountain easier.

-- Weaponry:
Jin's Revenge (same as above)
Akuosado is a grapling hook which aids the user in getting around cliffs and mountains fast and effectively. It was concieved from the horns of a Yusuku Elk which are known for their lethal attacks on humans using their horns. The rope coupled to the hook is a highly durable material which was created by feeding mythril to silk worms. This weapon can also be used in battles to pull the enemies in from a far, to get them close for the attack with the katana.


Set 3: "The Assasin's Strike"

-- Armor:
Giroan Armor of the Dark Warrior (stealth version) takes the standard strength of the Giroan Armor but takes away some of the vital pieces to increase the stealth and silence of the wearer. The shin, ankle, and wrist protection are completely removed, as is the hip and shoulder covers. This leaves the user potentially open but is a worthy trade for the added silence and mobility.

-- Weaponry:
Shinzui-san is a mighty bow that Akira wears on his back when going into fights. He especially likes taking this on assasination attempts and night battles. It serves as a perfect companion, for its lightweight and silent design. It is made of a tree only found in the temple areas of Giro and has a dark brown hew. The bowstrings are made of the hair of Kazoui and allow the arrow to be knocked back quite far. The bow itself is not any bigger than 2.5 feet but has tremendous power none the less.
Gauntlet needle shot are the poisonous needles that shoot out of the gauntlets of the fierce beserker warrior. They are black in color and as good as invisible in the night making them perfect for assasinations and sniping. Their range is however limited and could never outdue the purpose of a bow.
Giroan Shurikens for a quick hit assasination. These are made of crystal shrapnel which is left over from forging. This crude material is only to be used as a last resort.


Special Skills:
Jin's Revival summons on the dark spirit inside the katana. The demon takes control of the swords wielder and gives him unnatural powers. The demon will occasionally take the soul of one of the wielder's enemies and rip it into the depths of the sword. This skill barely ever is useable since the sword decides when it's activated and its only used in dire moments.
Berserker Rage: Activates the steroids in the hip bracing of Akira's armor boosting all his stats for a small duration of the battle.

Strengths: He is a very inteligent strategist, who can make good decisions at crucial moments.

Weaknesses: He seems to become very weak when being around holy relics and places of holy worship.

[LocoColt04]

I'm quite impressed with what I've seen thus far. Note that not all character profiles need to go into such depth (though it certainly isn't frowned upon), so don't let these three scare any of you off.

I need a minimum of five people for this tournament to work. As it stands, I don't see any issues with any characters posted thus far. Kenji, since I haven't seen you around the RPBs before, I'd like to stress that you take a glance at the announcement, just to be sure you've got a firm grasp of the rules. Your character is very strong, and it would be very easy to begin godmodding. It's something I'd hope you can avoid.

Five more days for signups, kids. Keep it up.

[Akira]

I know he sounds too strong (which was definitely not my intention) but he wasnt actually supposed to turn out like this hehe. I could tone down some of the info. Ill go edit now I guess.

EDIT: You dont see a problem in his weapon line up though right?


edit by LC:
No point in getting the thread too sidetracked, so I'll just answer you here.

No, I don't see a problem with any of it except for the poison darts. That one raised an eyebrow, and I'm interested to see what you do with those, if you ever even use them.

Remember, in an RPB, you cannot force your opponent to take a hit. You end your posts with the attack sequence, and your opponents choose whether or not to take the hit or dodge it somehow. (Just in case you didn't know.)

I look forward to having some fresh blood in the competition for a change. And... this edit is more than long enough.

-t3h Colt


Well they only serve the purpose of damaging as any other wepaon would. They are meant to be a weak weapon. Most of my post was just to add a setting for the character. Most of it is just show hehe.


Well, as long as you're comfortable with the rules and everything, then I don't mind one bit.

[Liquid Shadow]

Real World Character

Name: Kurt Sharle
Age: 28
Height: 6' 0"
Weight: 164 lbs
Eyes: Green
Appearance: Lanky, with an untrimmed goatee and mess of unkempt, medium length brown hair. Usually dressed in a black t-shirt and jeans covered with a dirty green trenchcoat. The section of his arms between his elbows and his wrists has been mostly replaced with advanced cybernetics that allow him to insert two different 'modules' to into each arm at any one time.
Bio: Minor adjustments to his muscular and nervous systems have granted him speed and reflexes slightly above the normal max for a non-altered human being, as well as allowing him a complete interface with the units in his arm. Was 'volunteered' to represent EON in this tournament.

Digital Character

Name: Zeto Numbra
Apparent Age: 22
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 152 lbs
Eyes: Hazel
Appearance: Weathered. Usually barefoot and wearing tattered black pants and long sleeved blue shirt, both showing many ineptly sewn patches.

Set 1 - Cardinal Quality
Weapons
Autocrossbow, capable of carrying 50 shots that can be fired in 5 round bursts, adding elemental quality (Earth, Air, Fire, or Water) as desired on launching.
Two sai's.
Armour
Despite its appearance, the tattered clothing Zeto wears is actually very effective armour. It has been expertly weaved and enchanted to stiffen around the area of impact when struck, spreading out the force of any sudden collision and is also extremely resistant to being torn. The apparent tears are glamers put onto it when it was first made.

Set 2 - Fixed Quality
Weapon
Quarterstaff with a light mace head mounted at each end.
Armour
Same as above, but adding two rings that support a skin tight protective field that covers his hands and forearms.

Set 3 - Mutable Quality
Weapon / Armour
Armguards of the Moon. A set of matching, silver armguards that, on mental command, dissolve into a mist that floats around Zeto, leaving just a small bracelet on each wrist. Naturally forming a vague sphere shape around his body about six feet in radius, the silver can be mentally commanded to take any shape and also provides feedback to the user at the same time, granting a complete sense of his surroundings. Can be commanded into any shape although stretching it too far causes more of a strain on behalf of the user.


Still need to work a bit on that, but it's late, and I've still got one last exam on monday, so it'll have to do for now.

[Bryan]

Here goes...

Real World Character

Name: Patient 520
Age: 24
Eyes: Very pale, light blue...almost white
Sex: Male
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 160lbs
Hair: Black with blue streaks, down to the end of his face and messy.

Quick Rundown: Patient 520 is a mental patient that has been confined to maximum security for the past 8 years. The reason why he has entered, or has been entered, into the tournament is because of crooked guards from the asylum...and their wagers. Two guards have promised to let Patient 520 free if he wins the tournament. While money is the only thing important to the guards, the small flicker of light that could be Patient 520's freedom is the only thing important to him. With his past records sealed away and unknown by the state, it's hard to say what put him in the asylum in the first place. But there is no mistaking, even by taking a quick glance at Patient 520, that he belongs in that asylum. Nobody has ever been able to see what goes on in his twisted and chaotic mind....until now.

General Appearance: In torn hospital scrubs. Small blood spots can be seen on random spots of the scrubs. He is shackled by the ankles and wrists, being guided by a guard from the asylum wherever he needs to go. On his face, there is a metal device going over his mouth and pretty much the lower half of his face. The device is to keep Patient 520 from biting his tongue off or biting others. It has been painted black, but some rust spots show through.




Alter-Ego Character

Name: Unknown
Age: Unknown, roughly 30ish
Eyes: White
Sex: Male
Height: 6'11"
Weight: 400lbs
Hair: Longer, down to almost his shoulders. Very stringy and black.

Quick Rundown: This horrible looking thing is Patient 520's made up alter ego. In his mind, this character carries out all of his dirty thoughts by means of killing and torture. Though not very agile, "Unknown" uses brute force and his surroundings to bring a violent end to his encounters. This marks the first time that he has even faced anyone who has dared to strike him. His taste in weapons is very wide, though he prefers old to new. For instance, if there was a lead pipe next to a plasma rifle, he would go for the lead pipe with no hesitation. Another high point for this character is his ability to take several hits. Though, eventually, he would be killed, his endurance level is very high.

General Appearance: Wearing a surgeon's mask. His hair always seems wet, also. This character wears a very old doctor's outfit which is splattered with blood and clearly aged by time. The reason being for his attire is through Patient 520's imagination....in his (Patient 520) mind, he would like to see someone on his side of the wall playing the roll of the doctor with everyone else....to see what it feels like in the worst ways possible.

Equipment Set #1

*NOTE* All armor is covered with the same dirty, white-ish doctor scrubs and a torn and bloody surgeon's apron...it's for looks, guys.

Name: The Cutter

Armor: Bulletproof vest, normal. As a note, though it is a bullet proof vest, it does not mean that a bullet cannot penetrate it and it will usually stun the character in the process of being shot. This is not a god-mod by any means.

Weapons: Two 4' curved blades, rusty and bloody (looks!) which strap onto the tops of the character's forearms.

Two 4' blades (bloody and rusty of course) that strap to the underside of the character's forearms, remaining snug against his arms and past his elbows.

A very old looking surgeon's cutting tool with a saw blade on the end attached to the character's left hand, which can be controlled by a device inside of the fixture.

The apron pocket holds several basic scalpals with this set.

Equipment #2

Name: The Masocist

Armor: A vest that gives a high voltage electric shock to both parties if contact is held for more than 5 seconds, hurting both characters. The point of this device is to prevent any choking or holds and to get the character so angry from the shocks that he pretty much goes berserk.

Weapons: Two saw blades which always return to their owner, which are meant to be thrown at the enemy. However, if they miss their target, they return to do damage to their owner.

An older looking nail gun, which is hooked to the character's back by means of a meat hook, through the flesh. The chain leading from the gun to his back is just long enough to cause extreme pain if the gun is brought to the front of him, so if this weapon is to be used, there are catches. Extreme pain and stiffer, slower movements while the gun is in use.

Equipment Set #3

Name: The Deranged

Armor: Offensive armor. A bullet proof, metal plate. In the middle of the plate is a drill, which is lined by sharp, rusty spikes that would tear through flesh and snag in muscle tissue if pushed into the opponent.

Weapons: A large and very loud chainsaw (you knew it was coming!), which is strapped to the character's wrist, via chain, for putting the saw in gear and wrecklessly swinging it at the opponent. It may be used in the normal fashion as well.

A metal device that goes over the lower half of the face and represents a mouth of some sort. This device is lined with razors and rusty shards of metal, to represent teeth. When used, it opens up, clamps down on the limb of an opponent and locks down. Once locked down, it begins to violently grind back and forth, shredding the opponents limb. Though very difficult for this character to use the jaw device, once it is locked down, it is very difficult to remove. In this set of armor, the point is to bring in the opponent close and finish them with the saw as they struggle to break free of the mouth, causing a hard to watch ending for his opponent.

DONE! Hopefully he passes all rules and regulations!

[LocoColt04]

Well, I've reached my minimum, but there's absolutely no reason to stop there. The IDEAL number for the tournament is seven. I know of a sixth who will be here without a doubt, and I'm really hoping we can get a seventh.

Why seven? Seven means that every participant will have a bye round. I've noticed that none of you have listed preferred times for bye weeks (times when you know you won't be around), so please be sure to list them if you know for a fact when you'll be MIA. For those of you who don't list anything, well, you'll get it whenever it comes your way.


A side note to everyone here:
BelleOfTheNight may POSSIBLY disappear from the tournament for reasons which I'm not sure I want to disclose to everyone. If he does, then anyone who has faced him prior to disappearance and anyone who would face him afterward automatically is granted one point for that round. This means that even if you defeated him, you would lose a point. Why? The idea behind that is to phase the character out of the tournament, as though it were never in it to begin with. It's fair, that's why.

But we're hoping that doesn't happen.

[Autumn]

Yep. What's listed is his one and only set. Figured I'd save anyone from possible confusion.



Digital Character

Name: Veldrin Cauthion
Sex: Male
Age: 27
Race: Dark Elf
Class: Fighter
Hair: Jet-black but kept deliberately short and neat as to not become obtrusive during fights.
Eyes: A dull grey colour exhibiting an air of sadness.

General appearance:
Standing almost six and a half feet tall, Veldrin has a very average build for a Dark Elf with deceivably slender looking limbs. His skin tone is a strange dark grey and brown composition yet posing a resemblance to animal hide. He has typically sharp ears, a strong jaw line and many of the other chiselled facial features for an elf. His face is hard and expressionless – showing no emotion even in the midst of battle.

Clothing:
In order to take advantage of agility, the armour over his torso is thick leather hide accompanied with a standard iron neck guard. On both forearms Veldrin wears the Cauthion family bracers created by his Great-Grandfather and said to have been forged from the Shadow Dragon’s scales after the Gre
