Mittoo -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (News/Update Only) (7/6/2008 12:42:22)

Name: Tryx "The Booterang"
Element of Participation: Wind
Class, if applicable: N/A

Vital Statistics: Bare-chested, but armoured on arms, legs and boots. Medium build, mainly muscles, and tall.
Weaponry: Two bladed fist weapons, carried with the hands in a 'knuckleduster' grip and covering to the wrists in armour. Can be used for either stabbing or slashing. Also, a plated greave hangs on his waist. Magic isn't really incorporated into his fighting style, except for control of winds in order to slow an opponent down or himself up, to turn the boot he carries at his waist into a boomerang, or even (in extreme cases) to deprive his opponent of air for a few seconds.
Secondary physical description for reference's sake: Short, blonde hair, and blue eyes. Carries a smile with him almost continuously, but drops all emotion once the combat starts.
Background: Tryx was the son of a blacksmith, and he crafted his armour himself specifically for the Championship, which contributed somewhat to his muscle mass. He hopes to best the competition to impress his parents and to gain something of a reputation with his unique fighting style.

...Woof.

Yes, she's a cat, deal with it.

Rational, I feel sorry for the royal herald.



Biophysicist -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/7/2008 11:54:39)

Name: Alexander Killraven
Element of Participation: Ice
Class, if applicible: Probably fighter, but he is... somewhat atypical.
<Edit in a link to your first post here, since that is where you ought to be describing your character>
Weaponry: A longsword of a material which is neither ice nor metal, but somewhere in between. It has a distinctive noise that it makes when struck: Rather than a metallic crash like other blades, it produces a loud unearthly shriek, much to high-pitched for steel to be making. The sword has a powerful ability, and a massive weakness: It can create anything its wielder wants from ice, but it will produce only a limited amount of ice in the wielder's life. (So, if I make a three-story-tall ice dragon, I will probably win that fight, but it will use up all the swords 'charges' making me much less likely to win any other fights.) Worse, there is no way to tell how many 'charges' are left. As Alexander is not exceptionally gifted at melee combat, he is careful to create only the smallest constructs he can.

(Note: This ability could, in theory, be used to instantly win a fight [eg. the ice dragon example I gave] but if I do this, there is a 100% chance I won't have enough ice left to even come close to winning the next fight. So, while it might seem like it could be godmoded, if I do so I'm going to die very soon, so it really can't be.)

EDIT: I just read Rational's name. Ouch. *tries to cure headache*



Nightly -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/7/2008 18:37:05)

Name: Nightly
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Race: Human
Element of participation: Wind
Class: Holy Wind Knight
Weaponry: One sword held in his right hand. It has an ornate blade and handle and is very lightweight. Nightly can swing it around effortlessly but it is heavy for others to use. It has the ability to send off blasts of air. (think like he slashes and then air comes and hits you. Kind of like magic.)
Amor: Just thought I'd put this in here. He is armored from chest to toe in red armor. The armor protects him from most attacks. and is able to shield him from some magic attacks. He has a shiled in his left hand embossed in a strange symbol.



Torikton -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/7/2008 18:51:24)

I've a question, O Ronin of Dreaminess. When it says that the Dropoffs will run "about two weeks, give or take", does that (or can that) mean three weeks?

I'm trying to decide if I'll be present during enough of the Dropoffs to bother applying. It wouldn't be fair to the other combatants if I signed up and then only posted half the time.

We could have had more felines.

Geddesmck -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/7/2008 21:35:38)

Name: Jon Gabriel
Element of Participation: Earth
Class: Student of Magic

http://forums2.battleon.com/f/fb.asp?m=14281143

Vital Statistics: Around 5’9”. Roughly 160 lbs without armour. He has crystal clear blue eyes and short, light brown hair. He has some scars and burns around his body from various experiments. Looks to be in his late twenties.
Weaponry: A long sword, a short sword and a knife. He also carries a variety of potions, although he might leave these behind for the championship.

Jon Gabriel’s enchanted items:

Long sword – Unbreakable by any means (enchantment can fail if enough damage is inflicted on the weapon)

Jumper – Fireproof (up until a point, if enough fire is used for long enough the enchantment will fail)

Earring – The arena’s layout is mapped in Jon’s mind. If visibility is low Jon can still find his way around (although people will still be concealed)

Necklace – Can store up to 5 minutes worth of air. If for some reason Jon cannot breathe through normal means the air the necklace will keep him alive for 5 minutes. When not in use it recharges (every 5 minutes it gets 1 minute worth of air)

Watch – Shows the ‘true’ time, so that time spells will not disorientate Jon (this is merely a left-over from a previous quest as the watch might be useless in this setting... but it looks nice)
Ring – Glows blue when Jon is in immediate danger

Bracelet – Allows Jon to block any attack. Only has enough charge for 1 attack and takes 6 hours to recharge


Yay! Got back in time for the EC.



Muse -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/8/2008 16:20:58)

Let's hope my RPing skills haven't degraded as totally as I think they have. =/

I'd explain Eriphael's history and race, but it would need to be in depth and, frankly, nobody needs to hear it.

Name: Eriphael Dazan

Race: Uncertain - for all intents and purposes, a resilient human.

Gender: Male

Elemental Affinity: Darkness

Age: Uncertain - looks to be in his late twenties.

Appearance: Roughly six feet tall and muscular in a lean way, Eriphael displays an acrobat's physique. Medium to short sunbleached blonde hair and dazzling green eyes mix strangely with tanned skin and muted leather clothing. His face is thin and ageless; his age can only be taken at his word, and ranges from 21 to 36 depending on what version of his history he tells. Possesses wings, big white ones. Seem to be able to fold into disproportionately small spaces; with his coat on, you couldn't even tell he has them. May or may not have a secret stash of Red Bull fed intravenously into his arm.

Weapons/Abilities: Has a sword of moderate length and sharpness. It's a bit thinner than a normal sword and is quite strong, being tempered steel. In time-honoured fashion, he also has a small dagger down a sheath on the inside of his boot. Doesn't use it much, but has it just in case.

Aside from wings, Eriphael also has control over darkness-aligned magic. I'm not going to go into details and do the cliché'd 'HE HAS THIS SPELL, THIS SPELL AND THIS SPELL' thing 'cause that kinda sucks. Suffice to say, it's darkness magic. It does dark things.

To paraphrase an old friend of mine:

Peace Out.



DWeird -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/8/2008 18:02:37)

Finally! I will *compete* in one of these things. :D

Name: Snur
Element of Participation: Darkness.
Class, if applicible: Scholar of various bad things. Mage.
First post

Vital Statistics: Skeletal. Average human-sized, but lighter than one. Due to the lightness, pretty quick on his feet, even if not too agile or dextrous. Brittle.

Weapons: Teeth replaced with fangs, fingers sharpened, short talons for thumbs. Various other things, probably.

Items: One bag of assorted sharp bones, teeth, nails, and so on. One bag of eyeballs in small glass-like spheres. Two eyeballs in small glass-like spheres in eye sockets. Ten white gold rings, one for each finger. One small circle-shaped artifact mirror in the forehead, currently covered with a white bandana. One white bandanna. One white robe. One small chest (container) in the chest (body part - and, apparantelly, also a container). One long, sturdy blond rope, wrapped around the chest (body part). Chest and rope currently unseen due to the robe.

Abilities: Can manipulate any dead organic matter he can maintain eye contact with. Can issue simple commands to select pieces of dead organic matter without prolonged eye contact. Can use dead eyes for vision.

Limitations to abilities exist, but you're not aware of them (though Ronin is). Likelly to be revealed IC - same for background and physical appearance.



The Extinguisher -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/8/2008 18:13:17)

Great. I've got DWeird for my competition.



Geddesmck -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/8/2008 18:51:55)

Ultimately we all do. There is only one actual winner.

This must be your first post in months DWeird. I think if we had more events similar to the EC it would drag the inactive super-rpers out of hiding.



Biophysicist -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/8/2008 22:56:44)

Then, how about we make one? Get Kell/Ronin or one of the Tutors to look at the first OOC post and offer criticism on it, get some hype up... POOF! We could end up with a non-AK/Tutor run annual RP!

Anyone interested, PM me.



Ronin Of Dreams -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/9/2008 5:32:53)

If I have my way, Arya, I'll be dragging a lot of the Old Guard out of the annexes, with a bit of luck. And don't choose *this* thread in particular to try and advertise ideas, especially during applications phase. That's bad form in one of the worst ways...

As for Applications thus far (and you'll notice I refer to character names):

From Page 2
Roch the Crusher => Approved. Old Guard indeed.
Cryoface => Approved. Interesting take.
Bolbi Derevian => Approved.
Saint Michael the Archangel => Tentatively Approved *shudder*. FMA, I swear if that sword bursts into flames and you remain Darkness....*grumble*
Selah Sussura => Approved. Better see some innovative tactics. =P

From Page 3
That Guy Guts => Approved, and I swear if you ruin giants for the rest I will have your head. Capiche? =P
Rotch Tai => Approved.
Tryx 'The Booterang' => Do I even want to know what a Booterang is? Approved.
Slash => Approved.
Alexander Killraven => Approved. And I don't think I even need to state the inherent warning here.
Nightly => Approved. First namesake character of this year's EC. Whoo.
Sabadhai Gelam => Approved. Second 'shorty' of the bunch, too. Heh.
Jon Gabriel => Approved.
Eriphael Dazan => Approved. Need I say that any information that *I* ought to know you *still* ought to furnish to me via PM?
Snur => Approved. I've already told you what you needed to hear via IRC anyway.

Also, need I say that the comment to Muse applies to everyone? =P Carry on. Oh, and you'll notice the first post has been updated, so do report any broken or mis-links to me, as it is 5:30 in the morning right now. I'm liable to have messed at least one up.



The Extinguisher -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/9/2008 9:22:25)

Bah. Fire's for chumps. There are plenty of other ways to enchant a holy sword.



Muse -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/9/2008 13:49:09)

It's not a holy sword if you're Darkness, Axel. =P

Many words apply to darkness: Foul, Corrupt, Twisted, Blackened, Rotted, Pulsating, Deathly and Doom but to capitalise a few. Archangel and Holy, not so much.

Edit: Ronin, there isn't anything especially that you need to know about Eriphael. If you really want to make sure, talk to me on MSN (ritosfaar@hotmail.com) - it's easier than PMing.



Biophysicist -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/9/2008 14:47:31)

Sorry Ronin. Checketh thine inbox.



Kellehendros -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/9/2008 15:05:18)

Actually Muse, from the perspective of a creature of Darkness, a weapon blessed by a Dark deity would be Holy, and a weapon blessed by a Light deity would be Unholy, its all a matter of your perspective.

Ronin, I don't get a smarmy comment after my approval for entering a cat? I'm almost disapointed.

Edit: Not even one Fire entrant yet, what is this world coming too?



Lord Memphis -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/9/2008 15:39:30)

Name: Salvador Rattigan

Gender: Male

Age: Looks to be in his early thirties.

Element of Participation: Fire

Class: Some cross between a scoundrel and a bombardier/grenadier.

http://forums2.battleon.com/f/fb.asp?m=14290148


Appearance: Salvador stands at close to the 5/6' border, yet this is most likely bolstered by the thick-soled boots he wears. He appears slightly underweight for his height, yet not alarmingly so. In the same respects, he is pale, but not enough to draw attention. His black hair is worn messily, flopping to either side of his face without much styling of any kind. It looks rather greasy. He also sports a thin mix between a moustache and beard surrounding his mouth completely. It looks to be very neatly cut, with much attention to detail.

Items and Weapons: He carries a walking cane, which detaches to reveal a sword concealed within. There are several small pouches attached to his belt, each one labelled with a combination of various letters and smaller numbers. When not walking, his hands seem to stray to them, as though checking the pouches haven't somehow opened.



Geddesmck -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/9/2008 15:57:03)

Just added to my application that Jon will be using a lot of enchanted items. His 'job' is making these things and he'll be relying on their protection alot as he has no healing spells and very few defensive spells. Don't worry, they'll all be described in the first post so he doesn't magically have whatever he needs whenever he needs it.

The giant rock fell towards Jon. Luckily he had an 'anti-giant rock bracelet' which meant it bounced harmlessly off his skull.

^Basically I won't be doing that. [;)] (Unless Ronin isn't looking).



Nightly -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/9/2008 16:00:09)

TormentedDragon -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/9/2008 16:48:42)

*shoots*

Innovative tactics, Ronin? Very well. Your wish is my command.

Opening Post

Vital Statistics: 6'2" Slender build.

Black Trench coat with single foot long spikes on each shoulders, no other shirt. Black boots and pants. A large diagonal scar across the left side of his chest, also a faint red glow* emanates from beneath the scarred area.

*Possibly to be explained later.



Sate -> RE: =Elemental Championships= OOC 2008 (Applications Phase) (7/9/2008 19:12:54)

DWeird, the new mod-person-thing competing in a tournament? I'll bet you've got connections that can get you to the top, right? :wink:

Ha ha. I'm kidding. Hey, everybody have fun with this thing, though.
