Restate of what was said in the interest thread
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.


New information
The tournament is known as the Quang-Feng Tournament and entry is by invitation only. You are all here because you're perceived as the best fighters in the world.

The Tournament is on the remote island of Kuamaui and matches could take place anywhere on the island.

All fighters will be staying in the main complex and are allowed to explore any part of the island they wish, except for the Host's complex (aka Me, will post a character sheet for him but he won't participate). Any participant found in this forbidden area will be immediately disqualified from the tournament and sent home.

MY CHARACTERS

1-THE HOST / BOSS (he IS trained to defend himself and whoop your arse if necessary. He also will NOT be competing in the tournament)
Name: Hernando Diaz, known to the participants as "The Boss"
Species: Human Male
Age: 42
Appearance: 6'4", 160lbs. Has black hair, brown eyes, tanned skin. Wears a black shirt, black jeans, black shoes and black sunglasses.
Weapons: Great Sword, 10 Throwing Knives, Morning Star. (He's the host and an exception to the rule)

Virtues: He can do anything he wants (he's the Boss), incredibly strong and fast, trained in 4 Martial Arts.
Vices: Believes in a fair fight (ie He will give you a chance to remain in the tournament if you break one of the tournament rules. You have to fight him, which will most likely end with you losing.)

2- THE CHAMPION
Name: Kor-Lee Rang
Species: Ger’Kah Male (details in appearance)
Age: 9166 human years, 24 in Ger’kah years (One Ger’Kah year is 383 human years)
Appearance: Rang stands 7’ tall and weighs in excess of 400lbs. He wears a black kimono and a red head band. His arms bulge with muscle mass and he has an eye in the back of his head.
The Ger’Kah are a race created, by accident, by Hell Worshippers. Over time these gentle beings were corrupted by demons and used by others as sacrifices to summon demons. This summoning has never worked and instead created the Ger’Kah, a race of beings that resemble humans yet are possessed by a Demon, resulting in slight transformations to appearance (large muscles, mutated faces, extra limbs, etc). All Ger’Kah are blessed with super-human strength and speed, making them worthy adversaries for fights and also making them a race of “perfect”, or near perfect, fighters. This is helped by the fact that Ger’Kah have a high resilience to pain.
However, the Ger’Kah believe that they can’t lose a fight, leading to them being overconfident and sometimes under-estimating their opponents.
Ger’Kah tend to stick together and form tribes. They tend to live in the desert as this is where they are least disturbed by others. As such they can go for weeks without any water.
Weapons: Rang carries a great axe but rarely uses it, instead relying on sheer strength and speed
Main Martial Art/Fighting Style: Karate, Wrestling and Boxing
Personality: Rang is reserved and rarely talks. When he talks it is to answer direct questions and to inform people of important information.
Virtues: Superhuman strength and speed, great resilience, eye in the back of his head, can go weeks without water.
Vices: Occasionally overconfident
History: Rang’s tribe learnt Karate and have specialised in this martial art. As well as this he took up boxing and wrestling, and knows how to throw a punch with power and speed as well as how to grapple.
Rang left his tribe to attend the last Quang-Feng Tournament. He came and won, easily defeating his opponents and killing his final opponent in brutal fashion. He ripped the head off his final opponent and that head now sits on a spike in the entrance hall of the competitors complex.
He stayed at the island after winning and now resides in the Host’s complex, awaiting the next tournament.

EDIT 5:11>There I just added the personality to my character profile.

TETSUYA YOU ARE APPROVED

YAAAY!! *does the Caramelldansen dance* :D

*slaps Tetsuya*
I'm the only one who's allowed to dance in this thread.

And just so everybody knows I'll post my main character (the Champion) after everybody else has posted their characters just because I can.

d'oh. I forgot to mention how the fights will be resolved. Please see the first post for fight procedure.

Also the following characters are approved unless they are withdrawn for any reasons







Also I'm waiting on Auronblades and Phoenix Fang to post up characters

hey optix, maybe you should draw out a map, so that we know where we can and can't go in the island (and so that we dont get lost.....................................................................
................................:!: wait a minute...a tournament for master fighters on an island in the ocean??? this is kinda reminding me of that one movie that Bruce Lee starred in (i can't remember the name of it though). i'm sure it's gonna be a good RP nonetheless.

......................added content......................

i forgot to add my character's personality, i think that everyone that's signing up should do so as well (that way we'll know what they're like, and how they'll act in and out of combat). so i'm gonna re-post my char with his personality in the profile. he's already been approved, so i figured that i'd tell you guys more about him.
here's Raphael Felidae's final edited profile

----------profile has been edited------------

Name: Raphael Felidae

Species: Ocelot morph

Age: 22

Appearance: 5',11", half human/half ocelot (think of what a keidran looks like). hazel-green eyes, he has short, spikey hair (imagine Roxas' hair style in kingdom hearts II) the same color as the pattern (brownish-black) on his dark goldenrod colored fur. leanly built with defined muscles instead of built ones. he wears black cargo pants and a red muscle shirt with black trim. on his left claw he wears a red frayed bandage wrapped up to his elbow. his feet also have red bandages on them. on the back of his neck there is a black skull surrounded by three 6's in a triangle formation around it. this "mark" was a curse from one of the devil's sons.
*Weapon equipment* on his back is a sheathe for one of his two swords, and a backpack of bombs for fights against larger more destructive enemies.

Weapons: Raphael has 3 weapons that he brings into battle, but due to tournament rules, he is obligated to leave one weapon behind during each fight. i'm only gonna give the names on here; i'll let the others figure out which sword i pull out during each fight. the weapons that he wields are as follows:
-Heaven's Blessing: a sword created by god that he found stabbed into the ground near a demon's remains. its blade has the ability to make any slice mark in the the flesh burn for anyone with a corrupt heart (key word, HEART)
-bomb bag: a backpack filled with a variety of explosives; scatter-bombs (the main explosive in his arsenal), smoke bombs, incendiaries, various gas bombs, etc...> (used mostly for larger enemies, or for strategic purposes).
-Cursed Soul: look under extra abilities list

History born into a middle class family, he was raised to become a hunter for his own family when he became older. because of his stealth and skills with a sword he was cursed by the devil's son, Belial, at age 16 as a means to force him to become an assassin for his army. Raphael's refusal to cooperate resulted in him being forced to kill his entire family (he was being controlled like a puppet, so he had no control of his actions). he then had no choice but to join, otherwise he would lose more loved ones. he has been in Belial's army for about 3 years. after finding a sword, with strange markings in the celtic cross shaped hand guard, he was able to gain full control over his will. it's been 3 years and he wants payback for what Belial did to him. planning to take him down, or die trying. this tournament is only as a means for training himself, should he win is only a bonus.

Personality: although he is kind at heart and will help an innocent in danger, Raphael has a hard time opening up to others. he has a tendency to hide his emotions and keep others shut out. he doesn't want anyone else to be killed because of his actions against hell's army.
Raphael only wants to live a normal life, but until he succeeds in his goal to either stop Belial's plans of a full scale invasion on Earth, or take out Belial himself, his chances of actually settling down are very slim.
Raphael is an honorable fighter, and tries to avoid using any dirty tactics in a battle unless he has to (he would only resort to those types of methods in a battle against hell's army).
he is sometimes deep in thought, mostly thinking about his past. usually when he's like this he prefers to be left alone, and dislikes being disturbed
for future reference, a * symbol shows when he's going to be thinking to himself.

Fighting style: A brawler; he relies mostly on kicks, but can deliver strong blows from his left hand (see extra section). Some karate training (basic defense skills). he also has single and double sword style experience from his time in Belial's army.

Strengths: utilizes speed in most of his battles, he only relies on power when needed.
Raphael's Feral Mode increases his speed, strength, reflexes, and senses.
the curse mark on the back of his neck that he received from Belial has made Raphael more powerful, and has given him more weapons for his arsenal in battle (in a manner of speaking).


Weaknesses: sometimes quick to anger, which will trigger his Feral Mode, lowering his rationality.
the curse mark on Raphael's neck will start to burn after he finishes using it's power, the amount of pain that the mark inflicts onto Raphael's body depends on how much he uses it (this is considered physical pain and not as battle damage)

Extra Abilities
<Feral Mode>: he was born with this ability. when Raphael becomes angered to a certain extent, he will become a rabid beast <so to speak>. his senses heighten, his movements will become twice as fast, and more unpredictable. and his attacks are double in power. the downside to this form, however, is that he loses the ability to think rationally. he still has control over what he does, but his instincts influence his actions, making it hard to know when he has to stop.

<The Curse Mark> After he was cursed by the devil, Raphael has "acquired" certain abilities that he uses in his battles to increase his chances of winning. Although these abilities are very strong and can deal an immense amount of damage, the after-effects are quite painful, and if used excessively, can be fatal. so he resolved to only use them in tight situations:
-Demon Wind: with a swipe of his left hand, he can send a 5 foot wide crescent shaped wave of dark energy toward his opponent (the angle of the wave is the same as the angle that Raphael used when using Demon Wind).
-Demon Fist: using the curse mark's power, he can make his punches more destructive. he is right handed, so it's mostly used on his left hand to balance out the strength between the two.
-Cursed Soul: when Raphael is unarmed, or has Heaven's Blessing in hand, he can summon a red bladed sword with a pentagram shaped handguard into his left hand that he can use for single or double sword style fighting (this disables all use of Demon Wind until Cursed Soul is called back). Raphael is forbidden from using bombs during the tournament if he uses this sword, and must also give the referee a heads up on what weapons he will be using before hand.

You're reminded of a Bruce Lee movie. I'm reminded of The Dark Tournament on YuYu Hakusho.

well it's been a long time since i've seen the yuyu hakusho series, and my father is obsessed with classic movies. so that bruce lee movie is the most recent show/movie that this RP reminds me of.

Oh man, I know what Bruce Lee movie this is like, but I can't remember the title. All I really remember from it are the histerically cheesey sound affects when someone punches.

:lol: yeah, i know what you mean :lol: the sound effects in those moldy oldies did kinda suck, huh? *makes cheesy karate sound effects*

and I have no idea what movies any of you are talking about

also I will add personality to the character sheet when i get off my psp and on a pc

yu yu hakusho is a japanese animated cartoon about a kid that gets killed and becomes a spirit detective (he comes back to life eventually)

later in the show, he goes to the spirit world to enter a tournament (why, i cant remember)

the movie that i was talking about was "Enter the Dragon" starring the late Bruce Lee that was made in 1973. this movie's plot is similar to your RP's plot line only the host of the tournament was a dealer of some sort (an illegal dealer), and had no honor in battle (he relied on tricks like a room of mirrors and a claw for a hand); he lost his hand somehow, how it happened i cant remember. i also cant remember if it was his left or right hand.

---------------edited-----------------
