Twokinds ARCHIVE Forums

Thought I'd post this up before posting an RP so I know if it's actually worth posting the signup.

OK. Basically this will be a knockout tournament, where if you lose you're out of the main tournament but are free to do whatever you want that doesn't interfere with any of the main draw matches or contestants.

I'll have a consolation kinda draw aswell where all the losers will compete so there's something to do. If you get beaten in one of these matches then the only thing you can do is have casual matches with others or anything else you want.

This RP will be set in modern times on an island complex. The rules for each match can, and at times will, differ as will the location of the battle. I will inform you who you will be fighting most likely by posting it in the OOC, otherwise it will be PMed to you.

Weapons will be allowed in some matches and it will be listed in the rules. If weapons are allowed you can bring in ONE, maybe TWO, weapons that are listed in your character sheet.

So basically I'm just wanting an expression of interest here and if I get around 8 to 16 characters then I'll post the Signup. (I'll allow up to 2 characters per person so if you want 2 then please state it in your post)

8) Maybe maybe

how would the fights work? I mean how will a winner of each bout be decided?

EDIT
fights will be resolved as you resolved them in your Battle Royal.

That is, each person states what they are doing and I resolve if it hits, what damage it does, etc. This will NOT be rigged to favor any character, mine included.

oh, before I forget.
I'll have at least 1 character in this RP myself. He'll be the previous winner, and reigning champion of the tournament.

However I will not bias this RP so my character wins. If somebody defeats my character then so be it, I won't care nor will I discriminate against whoever defeated my character.

i wanted to join a Rp like this but last one i tried never left the ground
so I'm in =3

okay, I'll put up a rough character sheet now.

Just copy and paste it.

I'll see what I can come up with. might have to go with a brawler as i sense there will be many 'poncey la-di-dar fighting styles where they dance more then fight'. that was my character talking btw :P

cool by me
my character will probably be along martial arts lines, with full weapons training.
that or brawler type.

I have multiple characters in mind already and i need to pick one

I wish I could join this, but I'm currently in 4 RP's, two on another website (roleplayer's guild) and I don't think I have time for five. The only hope is that I'm thiiiiis close to dieing in one of them...... stupid lycans.

I'll join so long as I can use my character in the Characters Thread. Character description is on page 23.

@ Testsuya
The character looks fine by me. The only things I'd say are (1)drop the sword abilities because they'd make the fights a bit unfair and (2) change the profile to match the one I post as a good copy on the actual signup (which will most likely be the one on the previous page).

I was wanting weapons that don't have special abilities.


@ Everybody
Please no special abilities for weapons.
Feel free to create your own kind of weapon as long as you provide an adequate description.

EDIT
If there is anybody thus far that is thinking of making two characters can you please say so I get a rough idea of how many characters I have in this RP.

Name: Urg Thrakk
Species: Orgri
Age: 41 Human Years / 50 Orgri (Which is measured at nearly exactly 7200 hours)
Appearance: Urg is of a large being of frightening design. Nearly four meters in height and the color of decaying fruit, this vaguely hominid being seems like it would be more at home in a bog than a marine environment. Like all Orgri, Urg 'stands' in a seemingly hunched stance. Similarly like all Orgri, this is a common misconception as the head of Thrakk is placed upon a short neck projecting forwards instead of upwards.

The head, like much of his body, is large (Almost a yard from top to chin), with a deal of long dagger-like teeth protruding outwards in a seeming mockery of a beak. Large, black orbs form the characteristic eyes of his species, while similarly his 'nose' and 'ears' are simple fleshy slits placed on the head.

Urg's arms stretch from the top of of the shoulders down to barely a foot off the ground, ending in a quartet of webbed digits creating three 'fingers' and a 'thumb'. Each of said arms is wider around than many trees, dark scars etched across them in random patterns.

Urg's short stubby legs also end in webbed 'digits' (which are not capable of a degree of grasp as good as his arms), which work better for propelling him through water at great speeds and providing stability on land than long bounds on the surface.
Weapons: Bare hands, Teeth
Main Martial Art/Fighting Style: None, simple brute strength
Virtues: Durable (Redundant organs, durable bones and flesh, slime makes grappling difficult, etc), Strong (Capable of easily ripping a regular human apart with bare hands), great sense of smell, high tolerance of pain.
Vices: Slow movement rate (on land), less dexterous than the average human, bulky, requires the 'slime' over its body to effectively remain on land (Which must be refreshed with water by resubmergence within 90 minutes of leaving water), poor sense of hearing along with mediocre sight when outside water.
History: Will get to eventually.

Jeez, I wasn't expecting anybody to do something like THAT but it looks good.

Name: Blake
Species: Half Demon. (More on that in history)
Age: 28
Appearance: 6'5". Muscular build. Had long black hair that often draps over his face. 2 small horns that he hides beneath his hair and a long thin black tail that he hides beneath a large leather overcoat. He wears a white tank top and old ripped jeans. He wraps bandages around his fis and up to about hlafwayup his arm.
Weapons: Twin Bracers. More a defensive weapon the twin bracers strap onto Blake's hands and run along his forearm up to just below his elbow. They are effectively a armour plate to protect his arms and hands when blocking other peoples weapons.
Main Martial Art/Fighting Style: Brawling. Blake has never been taught to fight, he had to learn the hard way. His attacks are mainly punch/elbow based but he isn't afraid to use any part of his body in inflict pain. He does favour grappling as well, often pinning an opponent against a wall or the floor so he can pummel them.
Virtues: Physically very strong. 'Never say die' attitude.
Vices: Like ladies and booze a bit to much. Won't hit a women. Self loathing.
History: Life was hard for Blake as a child. Born through a relationship that should have never been it is no surprise that he was looked down upon by both demon and human. said to be too weak to be a demon, and to corrupt to be human he and his mother we forced to flee into exile. His father was said to have gone looking for them, but he never found them.

His exile didn't last forever, and against the wishes of his mother he set off the find his father at the age of 18. He moved from city to city, doing little jobs here and there just to get money. He fell into some bad crowds and found himself working as a heavy for a gang due to his large size and menacing look. He learned his trade quickly, but getting tied down to a 'job' wasn’t for him. He still had a mission, to find his father.

10 years passed and still he had no luck. Now with the tournament coming up he has a chance to get himself in the limelight, and maybe the rumours of his father presence at the tournament are more then just hearsay.

I'm actually going to probably join this. I'm still doing four @#%@#$ing RP's, but I haven't started one of them, two of the others are full of really, reeeealy infrequent posters, and only one (Greyson House) is all that interesting.
