Tournament of Agon sign up

[ShadowDemen]

Before I start, yes I know there was something like this, but it has been deactivated for a while now, so I'm creating this thread. Rules are simple, two or more people enter a fight and duke it out. There is no god-moding, if iin real life there was no way you could dodge it, be a good sport and take the hit. Don't enter hellbent on winning, and admit when you have lossed. Also, no automatic hits. If the fighters are unable to continue, then the judge, me, shall declare the winner by a simple point system. The categories are: Damage(how much damage they did to their opponent),
Stlye(how fancy the fighter was while doing things to impress the crowd, no matrix moves unless suitable),
Magic(same as stlye, except with magic, more points for variety of magic),
Endurance(how much more damage their character can take, the more the better)
And cunning, which should be self explanatory. If you wish to join, please explain you chatracter in depth. All arenas will be created afterward.

[ShadowDemen]

Also, since I'm too lazy to edit, allraces can compete(duh), and fighters can win by a multitude of things besides the point system, such as if their opponent surrenders or is killed. And some arenas will have certain "ring-out" areas. Characters can be however they want, unless they want to have infinite magic and an invincibility spell, or any other kind of ridiculous ideas.
Max number of people in the tournament isn't decided yet, so you might want to join soon. Also,(can't believe I forgot to put this) the first few characters can get a certain advantage, by being able to chose an arena themselves, as long as it isn't cheating.

[izzi]

I'll join.

Name:Izzi
Race:Mahirim
Fighting Style: Necromantic spells, and two claw weapons on both hands (NOT the the ghost claw, just claw weapons.)
Equipment:Two claw weapons, and light leather armor around chest.
Description:Tall, with dark grey fur and a short snout. Eyes are dark green, with specks of gold during full moons. Leather armor is grey to match his fur. His claw weapons are two feet long, with four blades each.

Is this ok?

Also, Izzi will not raise dead, but its more like shadow bolts and corruption stuff, if he's desperate.

[ShadowDemen]

Which arena shall you start with, seeing as how you are the first one to join?
BTW: nice character, fits rules exactly.

[Aerys Kain]

I'll sign up for this.

Name: Sir Aerys Kain, called the Wolf of House Kain
Race: Human of Mercia
Age: 30
Physical description: Nearly seven feet in height and weighs nearly two-hundred and fifty pounds of pure muscle, athletic and sinewy by nature but heavily muscled by over twenty years of war in the service of the Mercian crown. He is decievingly agile despite his size, and he has a superb sense of distance and timing as well as an illusionist's sense of hand-eye coordination and deftness.

Combative expertise: Trained from boyhood in the ways of armored and unarmored combat, as well as the multitude of weapons avilable in a knightly arsenal. He can weild most weapons of war with considerable skill, though his area of distinction is far and away that of the two-handed sword of war. Fond of wearing heavy platemail armor into combat, it's burden lessened by his great strength, Aerys does not require the use of a shield and thus uses the largest longswords in the Mercian armory, his size often allowing him to use the two-handed weapon in a bastard fasion and maintain the use of his left hand. He has no magical aptitude what so ever, but is well trained and experianced in temporary wound field-dressing and treatment.

Fighting style: Aerys fights like his namesake the Wolf, stalking his prey and looking for a weakness to exploit. He is meticulous and patient in combat, his physical fitness giving him the endurance necessary to maintain peak levels of response well into the fight. He does nothing fancy in combat, relying instead on well-timed use of the simple and basic attacks he knows by muscle memory and the sheer ferocity of those attacks rather than the stylistic fighting that is more common in dueling arenas. However, this is not to say that Aerys is not inventive in battle, and much of his reasons for favoring the great sword is for it's amazing versatility as sword, staff, and spear all depending on where and how you grip it.

Armaments: Aerys wears a suit of high quality Mercian steel platemail armor, masterfully constructed for his body and well articulated in all the important places. The gaps between the plates are protected by tightly woven chainmail, and beneath it all is a layer of boiled leather over a padded undershirt for added protection. Though the armor is thick and heavily plated, it's weight is well distrubuted over Aerys' frame and well-designed straps and buckles ease and distrubute the burden, giving the knight freedom of movement to rival that of someone wearing a heavy chainmail or scalemail coat. The armor plating around his legs is equally well designed, allowing him to swiftly advance in any direction and shift it just as easily, but naturally limiting his acrobatic capabilities somewhat.

His weaponary consists of a two-handed Mercian war sword, likewise crafted of high quality steel and masterfully balanced and constructed. It's blade is over three and a half feet in length, stout by the guard but tapering into a well defined point, diamond shaped in profile with a shallow fuller halfway up the blade to reduce it's weight. It's edge is honed thick, best suited for crashing against armor and for grabbing onto during half-swording techniques, but it's tip is finely angled and will glide effortlessly through unarmored targets. It's handle is almost a foot in length itself, with a long strait crossguard and a heavy round pommel to give the great blade balance and fast response. His only other weapon is a foot and a half long rondel dagger that rests in the left side of his sword belt, a thin triangle-bladed thrusting weapon with disks for guard and pommel, designed to penetrate even the thickest chainmail and slay an incapacitated opponant.

Overview: Aerys is a very one-dimentional character, his entire 'life' has been spent only fighting in wars for the kingdom of Mercia, so that is the extent of who he is. I have taken everything else away from Aerys, all magical abilities or stealth or secret tricks or anything of that sort, and left him with only the skills and experiance that would come from life on a high medieval battlefield. As a result of this specialization, especially with Darkfall's vast selection of diverse directions to choose from, I believe someone so focused would be among the best in their area and as such when I write about Aerys I write as if he were a very powerful force when confronted in a face-to-face, hand-to-hand combat situation (nothing inhuman of course, but somone of his discription should be a handful to deal with in that specialized capacity). Anything that diverges from that template and comes from a different angle then already has Aerys at the disadvantage.

Let me know if you need me to clear anything up or if you want to run anything by me.

[ShadowDemen]

Aerys Kain, nice character, I hope you can live up to your potential. Also, you can create yourself an arena, or fight in Izzi's.

[izzi]

Wait, we can make our own arena? Thats awsome! And if not... well... yea... Let me think.........

[Aerys Kain]

The arena that I guess would suit me best would be a wide open circular area, at least fifty yards in diameter, and without any objects along the walls that could be used or obstacles or pillars to hide behind. A solid floor, nothing like mud or sand, with an open-air ceiling preferably (think of the Roman Colosseum) or if it must be in a contained room, one that is well lit and with very high ceilings. No dangers or hazards would be present, because in my humble opinion, they take away from action that should be happening between the two combatants.

I would be just as happy to work with what ever arena you decide would be best though.

[izzi]

Man, I have no clue how to fight RP style. It'll be really hard to do, I would think...

[Aerys Kain]

Its not as tough as it might seem initially, and infact I find it more fun than I thought it would be when I first started back on shadowbane's pre-release forums. Just imagine the fight in your head, keep your character within a reasonably equal level of power with the other person's, and try and describe and draw the fight for the reader as you see it in your imagination. Don't be afraid to let your character get roughed up in the fight (if mine don't walk away bloody and beaten, if they can walk away at all, then they haven't been in a real fight heh) and be as creative as you can be, no one likes to read "and then he parried, and then he swung, and then he moved" and so on, liven it up and try to really show the reader what it is that you can imagine happening with your character.

The best part about doing this with someone else as opposed to simply writing a story about your character is that the other person can throw something completly unexpected at you and by adapting to it and going with it, you can end up comming up with all sorts of things you might not've thought of before.

[ShadowDemen]

New announcement: I'm only going to accept 8 people for this tournament, seeing as how there isn't a large crowd. Also, a friend of mine should join the forums today, and will sign up. Oh, and no, I will not rig matches.

[Raybur Ravenloc]

Name: Raybur Ravenloc

Race: Mirdain
Gender: Male
Age: Middle-Aged

Favored Weapons: 5' Hunting Bow and 6' Quarterstaff
Favored Armor: Full suit of Steel Studded Mahirimskin Leather
Equipment: Wide-brimmed straw hat over leather cap; 4" dagger in each boot; 6" stiletto in each sleeve; 3" dirk under hat brim; 2' gladius, bola, flask of brown liquid, vial of yellow-green paste, small bag of dust, and small purse of various coins at belt; quiver of broadhead and bodkin arrows, forest green cloak, and satchel with assorted bandages, herbs, foodstuffs, and trinkets across shoulders; good-luck charm on mithril chain around neck.

Description: Short and heavy for a Mirdain, Raybur is 5' 8" and 160lbs. Among other Mirdain, he is looked at as almost a stranger, due to his human-like build, and a thick layer of hairs across his upper lip and chin, almost unheard of in pure-blooded Mirdain. In the way of Mirdain, he has smooth limbs hiding his wiry strength. Raybur also has a tendency to slouch, which lends him a falsly diminutive appearance. This appearance is aided by the loose cloak he wears with the hood back to reveal his long, straight, dark blonde hair falling just past his shoulders and his shining blue-green eyes.

Character Story: Raybur was raised by an aged Human poacher on the Human border of the Mirendil forests after his parents were killed in an Ork raid. By the time his mentor was caught by a band of Mirdain forest guardians, Raybur had already far surpassed him in the skills of stalking prey and eluding predators, as well as use of his hunting bow and assorted knives. Growing tired of the lonely life of a poacher, Raybur decided to join a band of mercenaries selling their services along the Human-Ork border. As a scout, Raybur quickly became feared by the Orks, who lost many officers and supply wagons to his swift strikes. During this time he also picked up the use of the quarterstaff, after deciding that trying to kill an Ork with a 2' blade was dangerous work. After a long while, Raybur again grew tired of his lifestyle, and left the mercenaries to become a roving thrill-seeker. In his travels, Raybur took jobs doing everything from assasination to bodyguarding, and even picked up his first and only spell, a breif incantation that creates a small spark up to a few yards away.

Favored Armor: Full suit of Steel Studded Mahirimskin Leather

I am sad now, and rather disturbed. Excuse me while I go curl up in a corner now. Oh, and Raybur, Izzi has natural Mahirimskin armor that covers everywhere. HAHAHAHAHAH!!! *Twitch, Twitch*

Oh, and since both of you are in my clan, don't be surprised if I act insane ingame. RP is my life, for I am not much of a fighter.

[Raybur Ravenloc]

hehe, mahirimskin is excellent, i assure you it wasn't a relative... :D

Lol Raybur, Shadow is the newest member. Check our forums once in awhile :p

[RavenLord]

Character Sheet
Character Name: Kyron
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 24

Favoured Weapon: Twin daggers, just a bit shorter than a short sword, with curved blades.

Favoured Armor: Light leather armor, wristbands and soft leather boots that allow him to move very silently. Some say that these boots of his are enchanted, because he moves with no sound when he so wishes....kyron has never personally said that his boots are enchanted...though he has never denied it either..

Any additional equipment:
Kyron is a professional thief, so he has a bag full of tricks... He has a throwing dagger in each of his wristbands. The blades of these two daggers are covered with a layer of lethal poison. He also has four poisonless daggers strapped on his chest in a criss-cross pattern, two more on his belt, and one in each of his boots.
Three small bags can be found on his belt, each containing a small amount (about one and a half to two handfulls) of some kind of powder. One contains white powder that turns into very bright white light when Kyron takes it out of it

[Raybur Ravenloc]

Lol Raybur, Shadow is the newest member. Check our forums once in awhile :p

[Aerys Kain]

Nice characters Raybur and Raven, they sound interesting and well thought out. Looking forward to seeing or reading about them in action :)

[ShadowDemen]

Izzi, Raybur, Sir Kain, and RavenLord. That's already four people, so theres only four spots left. Oh, and thanks for joining, RavenLord.

[ShadowDemen]

Just to kick this tournament in gear, I've decided on something. I'm joining as well. That's right. you now get to vent your anger on me! Here is my character:

Name:ShadowDemen
Race:Human(Mercian)
Height:6'7"
Weight:235 lb.
Equipment: 12 shurikens on various spots on body, two swords of mid-length on his sides, one longsword draped across his back, pair of iron shoulder pads, blackened breastplate made of steel, pair of leather bracers, leather armor under neath his breastplate and on his shins, a black mask that covers his mouth and nose, and a pair of leather boots. All weapon blades are steel, and all armor is sable.
Magic:Necromancy and "Assasin" magic, as he puts it.
Background:ShadowDemen is an adept assasin who relies on his uncanny speed to defeat his opponents, and thus is weaker than most warriors. He got his name from one of his victims last words, and the "e" substitutes the "o" in demon because he has a split personality. As an assasin, he shows no mercy, but as a blacksmith, he rarely makes weapons, and instead creates armor for anyone to use. The only thing linking these two is his longsword on his back, which he hand-crafted for himself out of jet, silver, and steel. As of today, it is his only weapon he has ever crafted. When fighting, he uses his twin blades located at his sides for speedy kills, as well as his favorite magic spell, which sends a darkened flame towards his opponent. On rare occasion, he will also use his longsword and his assasin techniques, which he refers to as "spells", even though they are considered only skills. But for all his cunning, speed, and dexterity, he still has one major flaw, his arrogance and cockyness.

[Atreyu Milo]

... I guess ill join.


Name: Atreyu Milo
Race: Mirdain
Sex: male
Hair:Medium length silver straight hair that goes diagnal and ends at chin/leaves a gap so you can only see Atreyu's right eye

I also have throwing dagers tipped with poison kept in a steel plated pouch. a steal bow with steel arrows tipped with poison. (poison: slowly effects them until unconsious/ or will effect vision(th stronger the persons will the longer the pioson will take to effect them.))

Black Chain mail underneath a white sleeveless cotton polo shirt that has string weaving through the V-dip(collar bone area) in the shirt were the buttons usually are (no buttons on this shirt) Black cotton shoes with a white outline of a wolf howling and a dragon on the left.

[Aerys Kain]

Nice Shadow and Atreyu

Sounds like some other interesting characters are going to be involved in this, can't wait to see them in action :)

[izzi]

Aw man, my char sux...

Aw well, i got this thing going. Maybe i'll throw in a few surprises to devolpe Izzi a little more.

[Oben]

I am not joining the competition, I am just watching the roleplay due to Jorem's personality, religion and belief's it's against himself to participate in this. I'm just merely creating this character sheet for fun and to let whoever in to Jorem's character.

Name: Jorem, The Sacred/ Sacred Jorem.
Race: Mahirim
Age: Unknown, certain people witness him being as old as 100 yet his physical features go against that; He looks as if he is in the mahirim primal age.

Physical Desccription
Height: 214cm. Smaller than most mahirim.
Eyes: A dark navy blue difusing into the black of the pupil.
Body Description: Brownish grey white twirling together over his fur. His snout is shorter than most mahirim. Other than those two features, his body when uncovered is of the typical mahirim.
(At night) His body glows with the moon's radiance. His eyes can only be seen at night. (During daylight) A dark, shadowy smoke emitts from his entire body. even in the daylight the air around him stirs with the night's cold embrace.
His body is very well built with muscle but he does not show it at all or attempts to boast. Some can say he hides it from his enemies in precautionary measures, others say it's just that he doesn't want anyone to think he is not intellectual.

Clothes: He wears all dark clothes, consisting of different manipulations that weren't originally there when made. Cloak has a white double helix pattern from top to bottom showing on both sides, the rest of it is a swirly dark blue with black giving off the image of smoke. He walks barefoot, upright casually, giving no appearence that he runs like a wild mahirim. He carries a walking stick decorated with symbols of the different tribes he has united together. His body is concealed with a robe, matching his cloak, having the same black and blue smokey appearence. The hood is worn only during the day, again having the same smoke color, but with small white diamonds littering across the surface of the hood like the night's sky of stars.

Jewelry: He does have a necklace; A thread of an innocent white. In the center of the thread holds a lunar flower, perfectly white pedals with a very light yellowy center. The whole flower glows like the moon at all times and gives off an essence of complete nirvana like atmosphere, yet at the same time brings loneliness to the surrounding area, wishing death to anyone who dares to break the sacred essence and purity of this necklace. Anyone who touches it with out the flower's trust it will drain sorrow, passion, and lust. Yes the flower is alive, it does trust, and it does have a mind of it's own. To where the mind had came from it is unknown, but it was certainly not there to begin with. No other jewelry is seen on this mahirim's body.

History will be told later... (( way too much for me to type right now and I need to study, btw I know my signature says Jerom but it's a mistake, it's Jorem, i'll fix it later.))

[valerion]

Name: Valerion
Race: alfar
Sex: male
Hair:Black
Eyes:Red
Height:170cm
Weight:150lbs.

Weapons: Lightning Imbued Sithra, Crossbow
Armor: Dark black Manthe Web Armor, Manthe Hide boots

Magic Darkness changes the Day to Night.

Skills:Sithra mastery, stealth, detect traps

Bio: more later got to go

[ShadowDemen]

With valerion, there is now only one slot left in the tournament.

[Atreyu Milo]

"I'm Atreyu nice to meet you!!"

"I'm Atreyu now go away!!!!!!!"

"I'm ALSO Atreyu :) !!!!!!"

[Aerys Kain]

Interesting, er.. angle, you have going for yourself Atreyu. Full marks for originalty and creativity without a doubt, but I don't know if mental instability will go very far in winning fights, hehe. Just my opinion :)

Should be entertaining to read in any case.

[ShadowDemen]

What's sad is the fact that in real life atreyu has a randombility disorder.

[ShadowDemen]

Oh, by the way, the above was a joke, and I can't edit it now...

[ShadowDemen]

Oh, and one slot is left in the tournament, and anyone can join.

[Aerys Kain]

Hehe, I wasen't sure if Lok was signing up for the tournament or if he was critiquing Izzi's character.

The more depth you add to your character, the more you find you can do with him or her in a story.

[ShadowDemen]

Lok-tar-ogar, are you or are you not joining? :confused: If not, please don't post here, as I'm starting to get anxious about aquiring the last member of the tournament. :(

[ShadowDemen]

Aparrently lok-tar-ogar isn't joining so there is still one spot left. :mad:
