DEATH BATTLE ROLEPLAY TOURNAMENT

Posts

Pages: 1

Welcome to the first(and possibly last - this is more of an experiment than anything) RMN Death Battle tournament! Here you can test out your writing skill beating the opponent to death!
Fun! :D


MAJOR DETAILS
  • First off, the tournament will be a classic tree branch system - each round will consist of pairs of fighters, and the winner of each pair will move on to the next round fighting more winners, rinse and repeat. Depending on the number of people who join, some people may sit out during certain rounds. This may be obvious, but I will not be participating, for the sake of fairness.
  • Rounds will go like this: after the brackets are made, I will generate a random location to fight and start it off setting the scene. Then the two opponents will fight until a victor comes out naturally, as in, when someone dies or gives up. Once a victor for one pair is decided, we move on to the next pair and so on down the line until the first round is complete, and then it repeats with the next round.
  • To keep rounds from going on for too long(say, 30 posts between each fighter), I may intervene and decide the victor based on various different attributes rated out of 10 such as Entertainment(how fun your posts were to read), Creativity(how creative you were), Balance(how fair you were), and Clarity(how clear your writing is). Hopefully, this won't be necessary at all, but it acts as a good method to let everyone get their turn in and makes the deciding factor actual RP and writing skill.

RULES
These rules are held pretty strictly because there are only three of them and they are basic rules of freeform RP. If someone breaks these, chances are, things aren't going to be as fun for everyone. Depending on the offense, you may get DQed, meaning for that round you are instantly considered dead and your opponent moves on instead.
  • Be sportsmanlike. No god modding, ghosting, or auto-hitting. This game is basic freeform RP, it doesn't use dice. Trust and common sense is important, and it won't be fun for anyone else if you think you can always hit the opponent without giving them a chance to dodge and dodge every attack yourself. If I catch people doing this, they may get DQed.
  • To add on to the first rule here a little, no metagaming either. For those who don't know, metagaming is when an RPer does things based on info. only they would know. The traditional example is a character knowing another character's name before they are even told it, and your character isn't capable of reading minds. In the context of the tournament, this just means characters shouldn't have prior knowledge of other characters. Once again, any offenders may get DQed if the offense is bad enough.
  • Finally, no controlling other people's characters. If I catch you doing this, you will be asked to edit your post. If you refuse, or it becomes a constant problem, you may get DQed.

CHARACTER SUBMISSION AND SIGN-UPS
Here's the fun part! So, you've read the above stuff, you should know what's going on, it's pretty simple really. Now you just need a character. It can be any character, whether it's from television, video games, books, or from your own imagination(original characters or OCs). To sign up, you fill out the character application below, send it to me in PMs, I'll look over it and, if it seems good, I'll accept it and add you to the list with your app included. I'm not going to be too strict with this, as long as I can understand what's written and you include character weaknesses, it should be good, and even if it's denied I'll tell you why and let you fix it. Note, you only get one character, so make it count.

Participants
AtiyaTheSeeker - Dana Cooper
Name: Dana Cooper
Nicknames: Dana of Wilder, Fox-Tits,
Age: 25
Species: Mutant Fox ("Fox Chimera")
Gender: Female
Occupation: Scout, Herbalist, and Monster Hunter

Appearance:


Personality traits

Likes:
- Music on the radio (especially hits of the bygone era)
- Stories told by others
- Soft drinks (not always easy to come by for her!)

Dislikes:
- Losing at contests and challenges
- Debating against others' opinions (especially ones she dislikes)
- Cold canned meat products

Personality: Adaptable, determined, communicative, inquisitive and youthful. Is also guileful, inconsistent, and a sore loser. Alignment-wise, she's Chaotic Good.

Combat traits

Powers: Has a strong (but not superhuman) threshold for pain and injury. Is able to power electronic devices with the use of her latent magic. Is resilient against mind-affecting powers, such as psionics or illusions. Possesses natural "low-light" vision and heightened sense of hearing and smell compared to a human.

Her main weapon is a plasma pistol that fires high-energy bolts at subsonic speeds. Though powerful and able to deal ballistic damage on impact in addition to third and fourth degree burns, the plasma projected can be evaded at longer distances. In addition, the blaster also possesses a close-ranged "stun mode" which emits cold plasma rings to electrify a target as if using a taser.

Lastly, Dana is equipped with a pen-sized jet injector that can be loaded to inject healing serums, antidotes, and other potions and drugs into one's system, taking immediate effect. She tends to carry at least a couple doses of healing serum on her at a time.

Strengths:
- Can apply traditional medicine skills to battlefield scenarios
- Has good reflexes and reaction speed when aware of others' presence
- Trained in various weapons; is most skilled with pistols and knives

Weaknesses:
- Isn't as dangerous of a fighter without a weapon in hand
- Lesser upper-body strength compared to the average human male
- Atavism (see History) or desperation can lead to her fighting with less skill

History: Born an orphan in a post-apocalyptic world, she was brought into a family with ties to a monster-hunting faction called the Hunters' Den. She trained in said guild since her youth, seeking to help others by her own means. During puberty, she developed a defect mutation over time, causing her to become prone to bloodthirsty and predatory instincts if not kept in check. Despite this, she does what she can for the good of her hometown.


Remember guys, this is all just for fun! A little experiment on my end, but I figured this would be a cool idea to try out.
Of course, there are no prizes really - I have nothing I could give you guys… but regardless, let's keep it happy and enjoyable for every one!


If you have any questions, please ask.

Hey hey, I might give this one a shot. I'm probably going to throw an OC of mine into the mix, though gimme a few to write up her application (and decide which character to use)? Hoping this can garner some interest~

EDIT: Sent my character application, lemme know what's what when you read it over?
First participant has entered! :D

Welcome to the first RMN Death Battle tournament!
GULP.....

I'll read the rules later and join up. Always down for a deathmatch.
Sadly I am not much of an RPer anymore. Not without dice, at least.
I understand. ^^;
Personally I prefer freeform, not the biggest fan of dice. Thank you for looking though. ^^

At least 5 more people needed.
