January 2007 TOA Character Applications

[LocoColt04]

If you have not yet read the information for this tournament, do so now.

That said, let's get to the bulk of this.

Every writer must have two characters in order to participate in this tournament. You do not have the option of having one. If you don't like the dual-character setup, then this isn't the tournament for you. Feel free to wait for the next one when July rolls around.

When creating your characters, they MUST have some sort of relation to each other -- whether they're relatives, friends, student/teacher, enemies, or whatever else fancies you, they must know each other somehow. No strangers. They must hail from the same time period, though based upon which time period you choose, they don't necessarily have to be from the same planet.

You MAY use pre-existing characters if you wish to do so. (To those new to the TOA and/or RPB, this means characters which you have created at an earlier date -- not characters belonging to someone else, like Cloud or Sephiroth.) They must be altered so that they know each other and come from the same era.

Your character application must not only include the information for both characters, but should include at least a brief bio explaining how/why the characters know one another. Extensive biographies are not required, though they are not frowned upon. (This has NO affect on judgement, so don't feel pressured to do it.)

Your application must also contain the following items not usually included:

• Planet(s) of Origin
• Era (i.e. Feudal Japan, American Old West, etc.) - this requires a brief description, especially for characters hailing from a planet other than Earth
• Race/Species - not all planets have humans, after all

Of course, all of the usual things are needed as well. If creating non-human characters, detailed descriptions of their bodies are required in the Species category.


Remember, your characters have been abducted by the aliens and transported to the space station wayyyyy in the future. They will be confused, and they will be disoriented. They will also need the inspiration to fight in the tournament. Whether it's prize money for the greedy types or cures for diseases for the selfless types, what they fight for is up to you.


YOU HAVE UNTIL 30 JANUARY 2007 TO REGISTER.
The first round will start on either the 31st or the 1st of February.

[Mistress Sheena]

Name: Fujiwara Taiki/Otenaki Kage

Class: Kage Samurai

Planet/Origin: Earth/20th Century

Race: Naikenlar

Weapon: 3 ft long silver Katana, and when in Naikenlar stage, the blade transforms into a 4 ft long Katana named Kuki.

Ability: When feeling like he's in a corner and there is no other way out of it, he changes into his Yami Stage. Having no emotion, therefore no hesitations or no mercy.

Attacks Human Stage: Various Kung Fu, Ninjitsu, and Taekwando techniques. Uses Bare fists and Legs, feet. Also uses a 3 ft long Silver Katana.

Ki Attacks Naikenlar Stage: Yami Illusion, Surging Slash, Raiken Void, Surging Storm, Shenoki Raiken Slash.

Ki Attacks Yami Stage: Surging Claw, Surging Fang, Shenoki Raiken Slash 5x, Soul Demolisher, Raiken Void 10x, Kiba of Hades.

Life: He was very strong at a young age and attended boarding school. There he made only a few friends, and there, his life has completely changed because he found out I was not human, when he was watching my friends get beat up by the Dragon's Eye, possessing a boy named Kyo, he couldn't let his friend Rick end up beat up as well.

He, Will, and Taiki were the only one's that weren't hurt at all. Will left to take care of Rosa, and only Taiki and Rick were left with Kyo, the boy possesed by the Dragon's Eye. He couldn't let his only other friend end up beaten, so something inside him snapped and out came Otenaki Kage, the Dragon's Eye was a bit more powerful than Kage so he did the only thing that he could and seperated Kyo from the Dragon's Eye and transformed Kyo into a Naikenlar known as Kyosuke.

He does not know what else happened that day, but when he awoke, everything was back to normal, and the first day of boarding school was over. But years later, when he finally mastered his Naikenlar form, he was travelling through a forest and ran into a strong foe, he was able to defeat him, but he too was defeated.

A lot has happened to Otenaki Kage as his life went on. He is now in his early thirties and has a pupil under his wing known as Mitsu Kana. He tought him everything that he knows. During a vicious battle, Kage's wolf friend was killed and his spirit is still with him to this day because of their strong bond. It was as if he never passed away at all, just transformed to an ethereal form. (Taken from Char stats thread, too lazy to grammatically correct.)
------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Mitsu Kana

Race: Human

Planet/Origin: Earth/20th Century

Weapon:
A four foot blade attached to a wristband on Kana's righthand wristband. Known as a Batatsu.

Appearance:
Black as night ninja-gi pants with a white mythril shirt and a matching ninja-gi sleeveless vest.

Hair:
His hair is a silvery grey color.

Eyes:
His eyes are a mystifying blue color.

Family:
His only niece Hitari Mitsu, and his Sensei Otenaki Kage.

Magic:
Chakra

Skills:
Uses the thunder element as a basis for his attacks. He uses different seals to perform the specific attacks. The seals are based off of the chinese zodiac.

Kagerou No Jitsu - Tiger, Rat, Ox, Rooster
An attack that uses the surrounding air and transforms the atoms into that of electricity and shoots a deathening beam of 50,000 volts right into the opponents chest.

Thunder Replication - Goat, Dragon, Rooster, Dog, Ox, Horse
He vanishes into thin air in the untrained eyes, but under the eyes of a talented warrior, he would appear to have duplicates of himself which if they are hit, they explode with 25,000 volts. (Similar to Double Team on Pokemon, except if you hit them, you get shocked.)

Omega Raiken - Dragon, Rabbit, Snake, Sheep, Ox, Horse, Rabbit, Rat, Rooster, Dragon, Monkey, Tiger, Sheep, Ox, Snake, Rabbit, Rat
An attack used as a last resort if facing a really strong opponent that he feels that he cannot beat. This particular move increases his stamina one hundred fold, and increases his chakra two hundred fold. But at a price. Once this technique wears off, his chakra runs out completely, therefore he must rest in bed for several days to recooperate his strength.

Background:
He created his own ninjitsu style of the unique Kesari Reika style which was originated by the great Otenaki Kage. And through perseverance, he managed to gain a contract to summon a great demon fox known as Crevan. The demon fox is ruthless and can ward of armies of great size with a tad bit of difficulty.

He had been Kage's pupil ever since he was an orphaned teenager. Kage opted to take him under his wing because of the tremendous potential he saw within. And was he ever right in his choosing.
-------------------------------------------------------

They have a lot of duo techniques in their arsenal seeing as their styles are similar and they are student and teacher. Heh. As far as what those techniques are, well, I'm going to improv.

Edit x2: Fog Field is their advantage, as they have ninja roots and whatnot. They're used to being hidden and going through the dark and whatnot. >.>

[Anomaly]

Name: Aria Schneider

Race/Origin: The Land of Ram'Stial in the Camulus Star-Cluster

Era: 100 A.C. (After Camulus)

Appearance: A beautiful, slim woman of about apparant age of twenty five. Though mostly human in appearance her pale gray flesh and striking golden hair, cut to just below her ears mark her as something else. If nothing else her strange white, pupil-less right eye is most telling of her heritage. Over her left eye she wears an ornate patch with a stylized golden eye set there upon.

To compliment her fair complexion she wears tight white breeches, white boots, white gloves, and a beautifully embrodered and gold studded sky blue waistcoat. She carries herself with a calculated grace that speaks of great nobility while at the same time under-scoring her lynx like musculature.


Family: Sister (?) to Canticle Schneider, whom she often quarrels with.


Magic: A master of the element of Wind, she uses her control of the atmosphere in any element to increase her speed, the thrust of her attacks, kick up dust and ice storms (depending o nthe climate) and even allow herself to fly. Though she can use her magics in very precise and telling fashion, it is said her Brother has the bulk of the raw magical talent between the two.

Skills: Using her power over the wind she can augment her weapons, spreading posions into the air, hurling a tornado of blades at an adversary, or even blades made from the very air itself. One of her most telling techniques is the ability to thrust with her Symphoney and cleave out the heart of an adversary several yards away. The sound the blade makes when it is used thusly is how it got its name.

Weapon: Symphony - A flexible rapier made of a special metal alloy that increases the strength of the blade, allowing it to bend but making it near impossible to break. The reflective surface is capable of confounding most light based spells, allowing it the unique ability to reflect some magics. The ornatly worked gaurd of the weapon protects its mistress dainty hand far better than the gloves she wears.

Daggers - A set of un-named daggers that can be weilded singley, in pairs, thrown, or otherwise manipulated when Symphoney does not prove to be enough.

Poisons - In the form of powders or vials of liquid, sometimes the only way to down a superior opponenet is to first disable them and then go in for the kill. The poisons range in effect from mere blindness, to loss of the ability to properly breath and even limited paralysis...costly detriments in battle.

(Below for Background)

------------------------------------

Canticle Schneider

Race/Origin: The Land of Ram'Stial in the Camulus Star-Cluster

Era: 100 A.C. (After Camulus)

Appearance: A hulking stooped brute of a man. Shorter than his sister while stooped but easily taller than her and most other creatures when standing at his full height. Like most of the males of his people, his body fairly ripples with muscle beneath his dark gray flesh speaking of incredible physical power. Over his imposing form are draped grey, brown, and even green furs from slain beasts, adding to his opposing physical presence. Every inch of his body and clothing seem covered in a fine dust...most of which seems to smudge his bare feet and black nailed hands.

His hair, less golden and more a pale blond than his sisters hangs in lank, discheveled locks down his back making an almost lionian mein. This illusionan is enforced by his broad jaw and scared face. His mosty grevious wound he does not bother to hide...his right eye socket lies vacant...though oddly enough there is no scaring or sign of any kind of burns, as is the eye was plucked from the skull without any undue force. An air of savage intellegence is about the lionian countenence, as if capable of deep thought most mortel men would never dare to contemplate.


Family: Brother (?) to Aria Schneider, whom he openly dislikes.


Magic: Lord over the element of earth, his magical prowess is raw and unyeildingly strong. Able to errect mountains, create massive pits, summon up the techtonic forces of the earth and those things they effect such as geysers, steam, lava, and even the magnetic forces triggered by the planets influence. Truly a powerful mage, he can even make molten and processed earth bend to his will with the proper incantation.

Skills: Using his powers over the earth he can send out a pulse to give him a general over view of the area, both above and (in more detail) below the surface. He can form rock around his body to form a protective armor and augment his strength. He can also form any weapon he likes from the earth, weapons only he can weild, which is why often he will be seen unarmed until he envokes his craft.

Weapon: Canticle uses no weapons save what he can form fro mthe earth. When there is not enough time for magic he will resort to his own, massive brute strength.

--------------------
Background: 100 years ago, the Planet Camulus was at the height of its civilization. A realm of many varied species, incredible magics, and startilingly beautiful landscape had enjoyed over 3000 years of peace. It seemed as though this peace would last for another 3000 years under the rulership of the great Elemental Mages of Camulus, the Eluminati. However, this was not the destiny fate had planned.

100 years ago the Planet Camulus was ripped to peices. The magical forces of the land had drawn the attention of mysterious beings from another dimension. These creatures, similar in appearance to the primary race of Camulus, approached first as friends...challenging the Eluminati to a friendly contest of skill. The leader of these pan-dimensional travelers, however, had a hunger only for destruction...a destruction he unleashed upon the Eluminati, whos powers did little to stop him.

One Eluminati, though, stood his ground to protect his land...only to be ripped in twain when the leader of the dimension walkers summoned up his dark God to ravage the lands. Without any further protectors, ravage the land he did, shattering the planet into thousnads of peices. Believing the realm destroyed the dimension walkers, thankfully, left. They did not notice the few large floating islands that were still habitable by the now almost destroyed Camulus races.

The magic of the land, hurt, but not dead, bound the peices of the planet together, and though there was dramatic climate shift and many deaths, the people of the planet banded together to try and forge a new home. War, naturally, broke out in this time of strife, but after a period of 50 years things seemed mostly settled. The people of Camulus still suffer, but they continue to seek desperately for a way to heal their homeland...and to survive.

Aria and Canticle Schneider are powerful mages born to their people who existed before Camulus was shattered and helped to found the floating forest land of Ram'Stial. Using their power over the elements, they helped to gather more and more earth and air to their land, increasing its size and resources until Ram'Stial again began to resemble its former glory. Little other than their relationship is known of the brother and sister otherwise and it is suspected that their names are merely assumed alias's. Their origin is a mystery, but the reason for this may lay in the fact neither enjoy the subject of the other and tend to work seperately safe when the need is truly dire.

When the need DOES arise however, their combined might is truly staggering.

Combined Abilities:
Aria and Canticle can harness their mastery of the elements to unleash a massive opposition Earth/Air spell that sends millions of bolts of lightning down to meet a churning, rising earth of spikes. This is perhaps their most powerful technique, but drains them both of the ability to use magic for a short time after wards. When envoked, strange glyphs begin to glow on the right side of Canticle's body and the left side of Aria's. It has been said that from time to time the two will seemingly combine...and become a completely different being all together reminiscent of a time long past...

[Itachi Uchiha]

Name: Vincent Kai
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Height: 6ft 11Inches
Weight: 17.4 stone
Hair: Slightly long, dark brown hair.
Left eye: light blue Right eye: Dark brown
Skin Tone: Pale


Weaponry:

Wind katana: When the battle starts getting serious, he forges this blade from the very wind itself. It increases his speed as well as the strength of his attacks. The main weakness of this is that it takes a lot of his energy to forge it.

Pendulm: A small piece of sharp crystal attached to wire. Usually empowers it with magic and is incredily fast.

Shuriken: He has five belts of these that he keeps under the robes on his chest and are most commonly used.

Spells/Skills: Over time Vincent has mastered two of the four basic elements. He is able to control wind/air and fire at will. These two elements are what his spells usually are, although in tough situations he may turn to rely on a non-elemental spell such as ultima or flare. He favors the element of wind which is why he forms his primary weapon, wind katana, from it. also since he favors this element, he can draw energy from it in small portions.

It is also easy to see when Vincent starts to take battle more seriously. As he draws on more of his power, an aura of blackness will form around him. The darker the aura, the more power he has drawn out.

Armor: Vincents only clothes and armour are the light weight black robes that he wears at all times. They cover all of his body except for his eyes and hands. He can easily lift pieces of them to get to his weaponry undernearth

Hidden skill: Dark/Light power- This skill is one of the rarest things used by him although he has no control on when it happens. Usually when it happens, the aura surrounding him will engulf him completly. When he emerged from it, he being controled by either one of his two sides for he has lost control of one or the other. This results in his body being pushed to its very limit. All his strength and speed is maxed out until all his energy is drained.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Mike Kai
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Height: 6ft 5inches
Weight: 16.6 stone
Hair: Long, wild silver hair
Eye Colour: Green
Skin tone: Slightly tanned

Weaponry:

Scorched earth: When battles start to get more serious, Mike can forge a weapon of his own like his brother. His elemental weapon is a spear. However making this drains a large amount of his energy.

Throwing knifes: Mike choses to use throwing knifes rather than shuriken. He finds them easier to carry and to hide. Mike has one on either forearm and shin under his armour and also there two belts of them across his chestplate.

Spells/skills: Just like Vincent, mike has mastered two of the basic four elements. His two elements are earth and water with his favored being earth. Mike solely relies on these elements in battle and never changes from them. So while fighting, he uses mixtures of earth, water and sometimes mixes them to create spells.Being a true master of earth (like his brother is to wind) he can draw small portions of energy from it.

Armour: Mike wears full Black armour except for a helmet. He dislikes them as he thinks they impair sight. The armour he wears is unique to the Planet him and his brother originated from. Since leaving there planet, mike has had custome fittings on his armour to it fits him better and makes movement easier. Also fitted onto his palms are pressure pads. When pressed, these pads make the two knifes on his forearms shot out into his hands.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Brief Biography: Vincent and Mike once had happy lives back on there home Planet of Therion VI. They were very close until the civil war. Thats when there relationship broke down and were forced to fight each other. However, an accident during a mission caused almost all life on there Planet to die. A chain of bombs erupted. The cities leveled. The Planet was thought dead until a handful of survivers rose from under the ash. Mike and Vincent became close family again and left the Planet in search of help but so far have only found violence and hatred. This many could be blamed on what happened to Vincent after the accident. Something awoke within him and his mind was split into three. These three parts being: himself, a good side and a dark side. All they really seek is there Planets restoration.

[Kaitou]

Name: Tobias
Race: Cherubim - Winged creatures that bear a resemblance to humans. They possess dove-like wings on their back that allow them to fly. These wings can grow to a length of two to six feet.
Origin: Astera - A planet dominated by Cherubim. Their society is of a caste system with a single ruler. The City of Astera spans across the entire surface. Because the Cherubim are capable of flight, the structures of the City are built above ground, supported by vertical columns (think Jettsons). This frees up the ground for wildlife, and more importantly, farmland, which are tended to and harvested by members of the lower castes.
Year: 800
Description:

• Hair: Straight, blonde, falls just below eyebrows
• Eyes: Blue
• Wings: 2' wide, white

Equipment:

• Astera - A longsword decorated with the Crest of Astera, given to members of the Divine and ruling family. Its blade extends four feet from the hilt. The Seal of Astera allows Tobias to wield the sword with a single hand, while requiring two hands without it.
• Seal of Astera - A necklace that bears the Crest of Astera. In addition to its function as a sort of authoritive badge, it provides the wearer with energy, increasing his or her stamina. The Seal also allows its wearer to wield the Divine's heavy equipment without difficulty.
• Aegis - Shield bearing the Crest of Astera, given to members of the Divine and ruling family. The shield measures three feet in height and two feet in width. Without the Seal of Astera, Tobias would be unable to lift Aegis due to its weight.

Abilities:

• Flight - Tobias's wings, although small, grant him the ability of flight. Due to the size of his wings, his aerial movements are simple and his ability to glide or hover is limited.
• Divine Powers - Tobias's training under the Divine has allowed him to release and wield energy in a variety of ways. Because of the Divine's influence, this energy is released in the form of light and holy attribute attacks. The amount of energy he can release at any one time is relatively small, but he does contain a significantly large energy capacity.

Background: Tobias is the descendant of the ruling family, the son of King Evandar, and is prince of Astera. Unlike most Cherubim whose wings are gray or brown, Tobias's wings are pure white, albeit small.

Tobias disliked his position as future king. He preferred to fly freely among the other Cherubim rather than be educated and supervised under the Divine, a group of elite Cherubim with superior wisdom and strength. However, he respected his father's wishes and devotedly studied and trained in preparation for kinghood.

After the uprising and King Evandar's death, Tobias was crowned king at the age of nine (equivalent to 18 on Earth).

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <><><>

Name: Damion
Race: Fiend - Cherubim born with black wings. They are treated as inferior in Astera and are of the lowest caste.
Origin: Astera; Year 800
Description:

• Hair: Straight, silver
• Eyes: Green
• Wings: 6' wide, black

Equipment:

• Bastard Sword - The sword used to slay Astera's king. Its blade extends 3'6" from the hilt. Its black guard is shaped in the form of wings that resemble his own.
• Gauntlet - A protective leather glove, reinforced with steel bars, that covers the forearm.
• Third Wing - A broad, flat weapon resembling a short, toothless saw. The blade is similar to that of a boomerang and behaves as such when thrown correctly. It is sheathed on Damion's back and is drawn from the side.
• Kris - A small dagger concealed in Damion's gauntlet. Its waving blade extends ten inches from the hilt. The compartment it is stored in coats the blade with a paralyzing poison.

Abilities:

• Flight - Damion's black wings grant him the ability of flight. Due to the size of his wings, he is able to maneuver quickly and with a variety of movements.
• Shaded Powers - Damion's training under the Winged Fiends has allowed him to release and wield energy in a variety of ways. Because of the Fiends' influence, this energy is released in the form of shadow and dark attribute attacks. The amount of energy he can release at any one time is significantly large, although his energy capacity is limited.

Background: Fiends are of the lowest caste. In accordance to the law, the wings of a Fiend are to be removed after birth. Damion, however, was born under the supervision of a revolutionist group of Fiends beneath the City, where he was allowed to escape such a fate. The group was raising winged Fiends for a planned rebellion.

Damion proved to be a powerful force in the uprising that occured nine years (equivalent to 18 Earth years) after his birth. He displayed incredible aerial maneuverability and strength. He became a natural leader among the winged Fiends, leading them successfully to the Sanctuary, where King Evandar resided. There the winged Fiends fought valiantly against the Divine. Damion had slain King Evandar before the rebellion was finally suppressed, after which he and the surviving winged Fiends were imprisoned and sentenced to a painful death.

[postalblowfish7]

Name: Pokepoke

Planet of Origin: Nameless Planet (languageless species) - 10 lightyears from the Pudding nebula.

Species: Pokepoke is a Bon-Ton; a slug-like creature with very strong telekinetic powers. They have a tubular body with a pointed tip on the end and a rounded head. They're about 5 feet long, bend to face upward about 2 1/2-3 feet high. their bodies are about 2 feet in diameter - getting large in the middle and then tapering at the end. Bon-Tons have no mouth, no eyes, no nose, no ears, no expression. They never touch the ground - rather they hover, about 1 foot above it. Whenever they use their telekinetic powers to communicate or to do anything else, where their face would be an orange glow erupts from under their slimy, frog-like, dark green spotted skin. They do not communicate using words - rather they can successfully communicate great amounts of information via the telekinetic transfer of pure thought. Ideas and images flow between the minds of all Bon-Tons. Because of this lack of language their planet has no name, and neither do the individual Bon-Tons themselves. In fact, their entire race was named Bon-Ton by a passing group of marauding space pirates. After trying to catch one for food, they left the planet in a frightened hurry, later writing anonymously in the Universal Space Travel guide "Stay away from the Nameless Planet 10 lightyears from the fading side of the Pudding nebula! Unless, of course, having your insides split open from within your unbroken skin sounds appealing!".

Era: Pokepoke lives in a time which, while still relatively undisturbed, the Nameless Planet and race of Bon-Tons have been discovered and documented by the outside universe. While it may take some time, it still places him at the beginning of the twilight of his race. While the immense telekinetic powers of the Bon-Tons may frighten away seedy pirates and upper class twit space paraders on jubilee ship rides through the cosmos - eventually serious humanoids with serious weaponry will strike well outside the range of the telekinetic powers of the Bon-Tons and even a race so powerful and mysterious will be crushed beneath the cold steady hand of greed.

Family: Bon-Tons all emerge mysteriously from the Cave of Origin; a singular spawning point for the entire race. They drift slowly away from it's massive mouth, floating through the use of involuntary telekinetic signals acting upon them. Eventually the stark hands stop pressing them forward, and their faces light up orange as they first become aware of their own existence. All memory of conception and the cave are lost, as they are freshly born into being. However, something deep within every Bon-Ton tells them to NEVER return to the Cave of Origin. Because of this, no Bon-Ton know where they come from at all, even though they are a race infinitely more intelligent than most creatures in the galaxy (humans included). They all go about their life on their rocky planet - sharing music, images, and the spark of imagination without ever uttering a single word, or even telepathically constructing words.

Weapon: Only his mind, and his mind acting upon the environment around him. He can propel rock with his mind for example, paralyze a foe, transfer his energy to another location to avoid a swift attack, or float high in the air. However, such use of this power is a strain on the Bon-Ton's metal powers - every 3 or 4 "moves" (including dodges) he need to find a place to make contact with the ground, where he can replenish his supply of life force energy from deep within it's mysterious dark green body. This can take up to 2 minutes.

------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Chase Pritchard

Planet of Origin: The pirate colony inside the abandoned space station DX-27.

Age: 22 Earth years.

Occupation: Space Pirate

Race: More or less human - just not an earthling.

Height: 5'10"

Weight: 150lbs

Hair: Short and black, with a single ultra-thin braid about 18" long coming down the left side of his hair.

Clothes: Dark blue jumpsuit with a utility belt at the waist. He wears energy rounds for his data communicator, and packets of food and water stored in box like containers lined like two sashes making an X across his chest.

Equipment: Chase wears a data communicator over one eye - it interprets the telekinetic thought patterns of the Bon-Ton Pokepoke into understandable language. His outfit is that of any typical space pirate. His main weapon is a massive two handed sword that he wears on his back. The only other are three to five throwing knives on his belt, and a large skinning dagger strapped to his left boot. The sword is electrically charged, and will shoot back an opponent if they are foolish enough to let it touch their bare skin. The daggers and throwing knives are charged similarly.

Chase's utility belt also has some combat technology built in to help give him the edge in a universe filled to the brim with magical abilities and secret techniques a lowly space pirate could never hope to possess. These include a standard shot-grapple, a high grade light class shield telekinetic/physical shielding device, spark tacks (small electrically charged spikes that can be scattered on the ground to injure, trip up, and eventually electrocute an opponent), small smoke bombs, and a 'last resort' device - a small hole is revealed in the center of the belt's buckle, and flames erupt from within it for 10 seconds. This is a one-shot weapon and can cause harm to the wearer of the belt as well as anyone in close range. His boots also have gravity boosters, allowing Chase to hover a short distance (10 feet or so) off the ground. This can't be done for more than 30 seconds or so before the boots need to recharge.

Background (Relation to Pokepoke): Chase Prichard is a space pirate from the DX-27 space station - a place infamous as being home of one of the most ruthless and feared space pirate clans - The Exit Captains. He grew up in many pirate ships, learning hard lessons about the gritty realities of space piracy from a very young age. During a visit to a yet-uncharted-planet 10 lightyears off the fading side of the Pudding Nebula, his captain and crew were attacked by the native inhabitants. This race of slug-like telekinetic creatures were dubbed "Bon-Tons" by the pirate group. Only 13-year-old Chase and 3 others survived the psychic maiming of the Bon-Tons - but Chase was forevermore ensnared by the mystery of the Nameless place, and the powerful Bon-Ton race.

7 years later Chase returned - this time a young man in his own ship. Using telekinetic shielding and tractor beam technology he was actually able to capture and study a Bon-Ton. He named it "Pokepoke," after the slight poking sensation he would feel inside his own brain whenever he was near the creature. Through advanced telekinetic technology developed using stolen parts from an alien race advanced even beyond the Bon-Tons, technowizard Chase began to communicate, and eventually befriend, the Bon-Ton Pokepoke.

Working as a team (the Bon-Ton largely not knowing the humanoid ideals of 'right and wrong') they've spent two years becoming the richest space pirate pair in the galaxy. One day while traveling through space, however, both were mysteriously beamed out of their space craft and woke up in a new and strange place. Cold metal surrounded them, and the light was white and pure. Chase rubbed the back of his head as he looked over at his companion Pokepoke through the fog of hibernation sickness. He was asleep. Suddenly a voice boomed from overhead "WELCOME TRAVELERS, TO THE TOURNAMENT OF ARMS..."

Raven's story
Once a man with nowhere to go and nobody to turn to, Raven was nearly a lost cause. Near the age of 19, he lived in an old, run down farm house just outside of the region he grew up in. It was not always rainy in this area, but now, it never seemed to stop storming. But this is a different story altogether.

Raven lived here with Raziel, the raven bird that has been by his side since birth. The bird simply judges character of other people and navigates Raven in directions he may need to go and that are unknown to him. Little is known about Raziel's past. With his home village in shambles for years, Raven was left with nothing to do but hunt and train with his twin blades. That, and try to teach Raziel new things (which often ended in failure).

He kept with him in this old farm house very few things aside from essentials. These being two hollowed out marble stones, filled with black and white paste material that he used only when hunting....humans (we will get to that in a bit). You see, Raven's always had a bit of a confidence problem and a fear of what ran through his veins...the killer's instinct. Thus, when he killed, spoke of business, or was around somebody he was not familiar with,he wore a skull-like design on his face, using the paint from the marble containers. To him, it was a different person...someone he could be aside from the person he really was when he was not taking care of business.

Ah, business. Raven was a self proclaimed contract killer at this point in his life, traveling wherever business took him. Over the years, he had been given various jobs which he took on and prevailed flawlessly. Things were content for Raven until he received an offer for a kill. The letter nearly made him collapse. Somebody in a far off area, which would not be revealed until he accepted the offer for the kill. It was a name he recognized. GORATH was written in bold letters in the middle of the page, in what looked like blood, followed by instructions.

Here's was his problem. Even when he was a boy, he heard of Gorath's tales of horrible murder and rape about various regions. There was even a tall tale among the children of the village claiming that if you were to wonder off into the woods at night alone, Gorath would be waiting with a twisted grin....to take you back to his home, which the whereabouts were unknown. All Raven knew is that he was a part of a group called the Brotherhood Of Doom, or at least that's what legend had told. He had only met a few of the members and actually drank with ToroMor in various pubs about Raven's home region on a few occasions.

He had rarely talked with anyone else, but he knew of their being. Back to the letter, Raven's stomach dropped as he saw the kill's name on the paper, however, there was a nice reward involved, thus, he had to take the job. Without any time to waste, Raven armed himself with his knives as Raziel landed on his shoulder. He walked across the creaky antique wood floor with heavy steps. The storm was picking up outside to the point of rattling the window panes.

Raven stopped at an old desk and removed the two marble containers with the paste-style paint and began to apply it on his face with shakey hands.

"This may be the last time I see this place, Raziel...at least for a long, long time....are you sure you want to go with me on this one?"

The raven rubbed it's head on the side of Raven's neck in a calming manor. Raven cracked a nervous smile. An enormous bolt of lightning struck nearby, lighting up the area in a quick flash, followed by a rumble of thunder great enough to threaten the foundation of a well built house.

"Let's go see if the boogie man is real, shall we?"

As Raven completed applying his dreadful skull design upon his face, he turned around and headed slowly for the door, picking up the letter on the way out.

"My luck....I can't believe I'm going to try to kill Gorath...." mumbled Raven, chuckling in disbelief.

He opened the door and peered out into the pouring rain. The storm had turned wild at this point. He looked down at the letter and read where to meet his employer for further details. It was a place he was not familiar with. It was a holy place that was far across the body of water not far from where Raven stood. He was to meet this man in a temple....Azma Raah, the place was called.

He then rolled up the letter and put it in his back pocket and headed through the storm to the shore, where there was a boat waiting for him to his suprise.

"What the hell is this?" said Raven, confused.

It was a pearl white boat, elegant and almost angelic looking. There was a figure in a dirty white robe, that almost look war torn. The figure's face was covered in shadow by the hood of this robe. The figure was holding an long paddle, so Raven put two and two together and figured this would take him to Azma Raah. Raziel clucked in caution as Raven stepped slowly onto the boat and sat down. The figure turned slowly around, facing the front of the boat and began to paddle. Raven kicked back and tried to relax in the chair.

"So...who exactly am I doing this for?" Raven asked the cloaked figure.

There was no reply. Raven gave a short chuckle and sat foward, impatient.

"I asked you a question...who ordered the kill?" he asked impatiently.

The figure slowly extended it's arm and pointed foward out into the black abyss of the water.

"Okay then.....anyone ever tell you that you talk too much?" he said sarcastically.

The figure did not respond and Raven replied with a sigh. He figured this ride would be a long one, so he began to think about the mission at hand. Who would have thought that Gorath was actually real and that Raven might be the one to put an end to his reign of terror. The thought of going head to head with such a beast could turn anyone's blood to ice. Raven didn't even know what Gorath looked like, however, he had a mental picture of something horrible.

More thoughts came and went as they sailed about the night and eventually, Raven fell asleep...Raziel in his lap.

"Raven. Open your eyes and follow me immediately." said a stern, demanding voice.

Raven quickly opened his eyes, Raziel was standing alert on his shoulder. The boat had stopped and the cloaked figure was gone. It was no longer raining and it was dusk. Stood in front of him was of all things, a glorious looking angel. He must have stood about 7' and weighed roughly what looked to be about 300lbs.

He had an almost blinding white aura around him and was dressed in ancient looking battle armor, which Raven had never seen before. His hair was almost completely white, his eyes glowed a deep blue. On his back sprouted wings that moved in what can best be described as a smoke like fashion. These enormous light blue and white wings were truely something to see...something again, that Raven had never seen before. The angel turned and began to walk towards the overwhelming pearl and white marble fashioned castle. Raven followed.

Upon entering the doors, which seemed to be about two stories high and made of white marble, the angel stopped as they close, crossed his arms and looked at Raven.

"I expected you to be bigger." mocked the angel.

"I expected you to be some person who is scum of the earth that was too big of a coward to kill a man...but I guess I was wrong....you aren't a person." Raven shot back.

"I'd watch your tongue while you were in these walls, if I were you. Never has a murderer been in between these walls and never will there be again." said the angel.

Raven yawned. "I'm sorry, I wasn't listening there. So where do I have to go to do this thing?" he asked.

"Fool...you are such a complete fool. Nonetheless, you have been hired, so I will give you your instructions. You will be going to a place most opposite of where you are standing now. It is a castle surrounded by deep, dark woods which will not be a pleasant hike. The castle itself is a maze of hallways and chambers. Chambers that are used for unspeakable acts....hallways that have been walked by those so evil, I dare not speak it. Somewhere in this castle, you will find Gorath. He must be ki
