DUDESOFT'S PROFILE

Because of the low amount of entries, we are forced to make this one a Round Robin Tournament. 11 rounds. What's different from last time? We vote for the entire round of matches. There are five matches every round.
You can vote based on Powers, Fighting styles, your own imagination, the work put into the sprites, or just because you feel like it. No one is judging you. You are judging the matches! Vote as you see fit. At the end of the Round Robin, we will tally points to see who is the winners. In the event of ties, we will have a final bracket to decide the winners.
If you are fighting and wish to write a back-up reasoning for why you should win, or a battleplan... go nuts. Be warned, not everyone will take it into account.
Lastly, the people who will be awarded the Pathofist Gauntlet Achievements will be the winning team (read: both members), the runners up will be given the "silver" achievement, and third place will get the "bronze". That makes 6 winners. If you are on two of these teams, you're a lucky bastard.

LockeZ burden was tiresome. I'm going to try and eleviate him of 1/2 the trouble. Even if it'll be tiresome to me! This is like Space_Monkey's RPG that we played back in August this will be an RPG played using the Roll To Dodge system.
I will also be including the levelling system of Dungeons and Drag-Queens, except none of you will have stats.

If you aren't familiar with Roll To Dodge, it's a really really simple tabletop RPG. Instead of the typical forty thousand rules, it really only has one main rule once the game starts. On every turn, each player gets to attempt one action. I will then roll a standard six-sided die to decide if you succeed:
1) Critical failure plus major backfire
2) Failure
3) Partial success
4) Success
5) Epic success
6) Success plus backfire or collateral damage (items or skills that grant a bonus to hit chance cannot change your roll from a 5 to a 6)
(I will probably be doing this more like Dungeons and Drag-Queens, since it's what I'm used to.)

This means everything you do has a high chance of failing and a high chance of backfiring, resulting in typically hilarious scenarios. On the plus side, if you die, you will be revived at the next inn.

ABILITIES
When you join you can pick one usable spell or ability from any Final Fantasy game. Your character will have that ability. I will do my best to approximate the effects of this ability in the Roll To Dodge gameplay; it may not be as powerful as it was in the original game. You will be able to use your ability once per day.
You must learn skills from the job class you've selected the first two abilities from. From now onwards, you are those two classes combined. I will deny any claim of skillsets outside your classes, should you make them.

LEVELS
You will gain 1 EXP after each creature/character kill. Each level up costs the current level EXP amount. (IE Level 5 -> Level 6 = 5 EXP) Each Level will give you 1 HP.
You will gain 1 skill on every tenth level, as well as 1 MP.

The Crystal Quest

The game started outside Narsh (FF6). Here, the world began to splinter. While some warriors were killed inside the caves, a select few were sucked into a Rift between time and space.
The travellers found themselves in a vast emptiness, later understood to be the Void (FF5). Here they each found a shard of a crystal. Each shard granted them a Job Class. The shards united power brought a nearby tree back to life. It turned out to be Neo ExDeath. Reborn, the great tree did battle with these travellers, only to be victorious! In the battle ExDeath broke free of his shackles to the elemental spirits blinding him. At once, ExDeath cast the travellers through another Rift, and resumed his desire to combine the two worlds into one.

The travellers fell down a hole after exiting the Rift, and landed in a goblin-infested cave. The team battled valiantly, even after Allen Hunter lost one of his legs, they came to a wide chamber. In it, newcomer Khos was battling a giant turtle. After the battle, the travellers found themselves in the presence of a giant Crystal. It spoke the the travellers and dubbed four of them thw Warriors of Light and the other four, the Warriors of Darkness. Together, they would be the Warriors of Dawn. The Crystal sent them on a quest: find the other Crystals and return balance to the universe.

South of the cave is the Village of Ur. After Zeuzio receives a MogNet message, an earthquake destroys the village. The heroes barely escape with their lives as Locke and Cid arrive in an airship to rescue them.


The Reactor Incident

Heading skuth further, based on Xavion's guidance, the team arrives in Nibelheim. Here they meet and join Sephiroth's expedition to the Nibelheim Mako Reactor. Acting as a local tourguide, Selphie joins the party as well.

On the way to the Reactor, their airship crashes in the ocean as the engine fails. Here, the team unravel the secrets of License Boards when Locke and Allen Hunter attack a mysterious hooded woman. Vanishing in a flash of fire and smoke, Locke finds himself with a special License Panel.
Forced to now travel in the water, they first encounter a legion of angry seahorse, followed by a crashlanding on the shore nearby the Reactor. Here, they encounter a giant Guard Scorpion (FF7). During the fight a mysterious hooded casts Magic Missile on the monster, vanishing as well. Also, Archeia joined the party in her search for the Fire Crystal.
The Warriors of Dawn barely survive the battle against Guard Scorpion. When they wake up from being unconscious, it is three days later.
Apparently, Sepiroth had been inside the Reactor already, and brought the Warriors back to outside Nibelheim. Zeuzio heads into the town, and finds Sephiroth holed up in a secret room in the basement of the Shinra Mansion.
There, he was busy reading, and told Zeuzio to bugger off.
For another three days and three nights, Zeuzio waited. At long last, she decided to look into how her amazing SOLDIER friend was doing. True to the FF7 Destiny layed out before him, Sephiroth went mad. Claiming Zeuzio's ancestors took what was rightfully his mother's. And so, he set off to go visit Mother at the Reactor. On the way, burning down the town of Nibelheim, and defeating the entire party.
When Zeuzio arrived, the Party was out cold, and the airship had been stolen.


Prison

The aftermath of the Reactor Incident left the Warriors of Dawn in discontent. Deciding that Sephiroth had to be stopped, they head for the Reactor. Only one little problem: there's an ocean between them and it. So, following Cid to the next town, they enter a normal Random Encounter against an easy goblin foe.
When suddenly, an armored man on chocobo-back arrived to tell the Warriors that they were in violation of the Maximum Party Size Law, and gave them a Yellow Card.
Soon after, when the Warriors disregarded the lunatic, they were given a Red Card, and instantly teleported to a desert prison. Corel Prison as it turned out.
The only way out, is up the giant tower in the middle of the prison.
Splitting up into groups of four or less (the apparent new Law that prohibits groups any bigger) the Warriors venture onwards.
4 go to visit Arthur, the head honcho of Corel Prison. 4 attempt to leave the prison using the spell Warp (which led to a long trek through the wasteland desert, fighting Sandworms). 3 went battling some bandits. One of the bandits stole Ceal from the group. Locke and Selphie were forced to chase the bandit to Bandit's Hideout.
It turned out that 'the Don' of the bandits was looking for a new bride. Locke and Selphie were permitted to try their luck with this game.

It was revealed that Arthur was two things. First, a drunk. Second, the killer of Khos' wife. Khos dueled Arthur in a 1-vs-1 man's battle. Meanwhile, the Don turned out to be, Don Miguel, an inspirational speaker or something. He picked Locke. Ceal and Selphie battled the perverts they were discarded to after Don's rejection, alongside the other wife candidates. Ques Quen, Indrah, EvilEagles and Elements joined the escape.
While Ceal, Selphie, Indrah and Ques Quen left the normal way, Elements and EvilEagles left yet another way.
On their exit, Elements and EvilEagles found themselves faced against a summoner marvelling at the larvae spawn pit of the Sandworms. He at once engaged the duo in battle, summoning the powerful waterfiend, Cagnazzo!
Drawn to the commotion, Zeuzio and MrChearlie notice the ruckus while standing near Khos' man's battle. They rush down the earth slop to help out, but the battle is short-lived. When Cagnazzo was defeated, the summoner, Seymour Guado, vanishes into a portal of darkness. Elements and EvilEagles dive into the portal at once before it closes, leaving Zeuzio and MrChearlie to return whence they came.
In this time, part of the Party is fighting Allen Hunter, who failed his Focus and turned into the fal'Cie named Sacrefice.
Locke all-the-while, has pilfered everything in sight in the Don's chamber. He was cast into a trapdoor, and fell into a dark pit.
While everything was going on, he was trying to find a way out of the Dark Dungeon. At the end, he came across a waterfall chamber. Though he saw a way out, he was stopped when the floor started rising, only to ultimately turn out to be Ruby WEAPON (FF7). When all hope was lost, EvilEagles and Elements appeared out another dark portal, and he found an Ultima Weapon.

Back in town, Arthur agreed to get the party up the tower, after getting severely drunk during his battle against Khos.
After a great feast, prepared by Archeia, Arthur unraveled his past. The story led Xavion aka Vicks to remember who he was. It also brings realisation that Arthur needs to hand over a device named Flushex, and pay for his crime of murdering Khos' wife.
Back in town, those who waited behind are greeted by Ester, the chocobo jockey manager.

That's where we are. At the end of the Prison chapter.
