RRR - Royal Rumble Resort [Sign-up/OOC], W.I.P Options

[Nicsp]

Summary

Set now in the 2000's, a mysterious entity calling itself The Judge started popping up around the world and distributing to people certain weapons called Telums, these Telums gave whoever wielded increased strength and agility as long as they were holding the weapon, also, most interestingly, all Telums have a mind of their own and are not only self aware, but can also speak to their wielders.

It's not so simple, however, when The Judge appears to someone, he proposes that person if he or she wants to play a certain game, if the person refuses The Judge simply disappears and never will show up for that person again, if the person accepts, however, The Judge will then bestow to that person one of the Telums and explain the rules of the game.

The game is actually quite simple, to fight other Telum wielders. Whenever a Telum wielder is defeated, the winner of the battle receives the loser's Telum. The objective of the game is to acquire all of the Telums. According to The Judge, the one who wins the game will be granted a single and all powerful wish with no limitations, in short, the one who wins the game might as well rule the world.

The game had been going for a while now, with the fights being scarce and rare, until in 2009, a massive artificial island was erected by some millionaire in the middle of the bermuda triangle. This billionaire, however, was a Telum wielder who had lost all of his weapons, and sacrificed the one thing he held dearest, his money. The Judge, having little use for all of that money, used it to erect this artificial island, where all of the Telum users would be able to gather up and fight each other off quicker. The only way in and out of the Island is via helicopter.

Also, for the sake of turning the whole place in a battlefield, The Judge estabilished certain "safe" areas in the island, the residential area and the arrival area, where people are not allowed to fight with Telums. And so, it was opened the Royal Rumble Resort (RRR)


The resort



The island is located close to Japan, it was not heavily affected by the recent earthquake, however. The only way to arrived at the island is either by ship or helicopter.

As expected of a five star resort, the RRR contains all of the commodities necessary for living, including several aparments, all of them equipped with a living room, a bedroom, small kitchen and of course, bathrooms. Adding up to the rooms, the resort has restaurants, shops and several other things...That's the "safe" social area, of course, which is located in the outer layers of the island.

The battle areas are located in the center, alongside with the usual grassy grounds located on the above there are several other battle areas...Which will be unlocked as time goes on.

Arenas currently available

Grassy plains

Found in the center of the isle, this is the most basic arena found in the island, it has a few trees that are randomly located around, alongside with a few lakes. A few small critters can be found skipping around happily around the areas, though they obviously tend to stay hidden from the players for the sake of their own safety.

This arena has no special conditions.

Atlantis

Is an arena found close to the harbor, after getting an elevator, the players will end up in an underwater network of glass tunnels which form a gigantic maze, if one of the players wants to risk it, there are several hatches randomly spread out around the tunnels which can take the player directly to the water so he can improvise a shortcut instead of trying to find his way around the maze.

Players can take the fight underrwater, while swimming defensive stances (Blue) cannot be used.

Naraka

Acessible through an elevator at the very center of the island, this arena is located dangerously close to the Earth's lower layers, rivers of lava stream around meters below the players feet, most people would die in a few minutes under such circumstances but thanks to the Telums powers, players can actually manage fighting in this place, though it is still unbereable to remain here for longer than one hour. The arena is mostly natural, the elevator ending up inside an underground cave, though there a few rails and other measures to try and keep the players from tripping to their deaths too often.

Fighting in this arena makes it so both players take one damage per turn constantly, regardless of what position they're in.


The rules of the rumble.

#1. A Telum wielder may never kill another, the battles are not meant to be lethal. The damage caused by the Telums is also not physical, upon being hit with a Telum sword, by example, the victim will feel the pain of the blade sinking into the skin and flesh, but they won't really be damaged.

#2. You may not give out information regarding the game to non-Telum wielders, doing so, will at first give you a warning headache, if the person insists, their Telum will disappear and they will lose all of their memories regarding the game.

#3. You may only fight with one Telum at a time, holding two of them at the same time during a battle will at first give you a headache, and if you don't stop after thirty minutes, will kick you out of the game with similar effects to rule #2.

#4. You may not attempt to take another user's Telum without battling that person, doing so will return all of your Telums to their respective owners and kick you out of the game.

#5. If, for any case, you lose all of your Telums and become no longer able to participate in the game, The Judge will appear before you and propose you with two options, to either quit the game or to sacrifice one thing you hold dear in exchange for a new Telum. The second option can only be used a maximum of two times.

#6. Upon the beggining of a battle, both participants need to first estabilish how many of their telums will they be betting in this battle. Betting more Telums lowers the pain you receive from your opponent's attack and allows you to stay battling for longer at the cost of an increased risk.


The rules of the RP

The usual. No godmodding/bunnying of other people's chars.
Respect other players and leave in-character conflicts in characters and keep out-of-character conflicts out of character.
You will need to use the battle system provided by Sparrowsmith to fight, it is found below.

Sparrowsmith's Battle System

[Show/Hide] Move Chart

CO - Close offensive
QO - Quick offensive
SO - Strong offensive
TA - Tackle
PA - Parry
C - Counter
DO - Dodge
BL - Blocking
O - Open

Counter and Parry can ONLY be used if the opponent just did an attack (red)
Dodge can be used at any time, but you CANNOT go from a Dodge straight into an attack (you have to get back up off the floor)
Tackles are almost always successful, but only do damage against Blocking. There's no logical reason for this, tackling was just underpowered and blocking was overpowered. Make up your own insane justifications.
You must change stance every turn.
Your Telum can only ever use Strong attack OR quick Attack.
Health varies from match to match. Players choose a "default" value within a maximum of twenty and then that number increases by one for each Telum being bet.
Both players start in defensive Stance, damage can be dealt in the OP of a fight
You can only change stance once per turn.
Some arenas have special conditions which are exclusive to them.

Suggested:
Players bold their opponents last stance and then bold the stance they are changing to each turn, followed by a [score-score].
-Example: "Eden recovered from being offensive attack and dodged out of the way of the next onslaught [3-2]"
Problems with scores (people reading the chart wrong, breaking rules) be corrected by PM, and then edited. Me and Sparrowsmith actually moderate the forums, so editing posts for people will not be a problem if they don't cooperate (no sore losers people, though I might have to run this one by Kaz)
In the event of a draw, the last attacking player declares that they have no intention of continuing the fight. This can ONLY be done when both players simultaneously reach the limit for the battle. The other player must agree to the draw - that is what the system has dictated.
Posts should be be made definite "Eden's blade swung deep into Clive's stomach" rather than implied "Eden's blade swung towards Clive's stomach". The system gives you the right to inflict damage. No ifs or buts, your player can be harmed by other players where they choose to hurt you, and you can hurt them too.

After making Tom, I'm already in love with him. Mainly because his personality and philosophies are basically the same as mine. o.o HE SHALL BE DEVELOPED TO DA MAX!

Biography: Tom fears death. That's the most important thing someone needs to know about him. Part of the reason he agreed with the Judge's "game" was to cure his mother's cancer, and he remained dedicated to this cause up until he defeated his second opponent to earn "Guile", doing so with "Slugger", who he had earned a few weeks previously. Guile talked Tom out of this cure, and persuaded him to take a more selfish path. Tom did it not because he was desperate... But because it went with his philosophies. He didn't believe in God, Alah or anyone else... But he feared death. He feared what would happen if he lived life as an Atheist, only to discover that God is real. Or if he lived as a Christian, only to discover that the Islam faith is right. As such, he chose to live peacefully and help those around him; surely in this, he could be on good grounds with all religions and be accepted by them all. And hey, if they're all wrong and science is right, then at least he helped people before the end. These beliefs allowed Tom to listen to Guile, and so his wish changed. Instead of curing his mother and TEMPORARILY preventing her death, he could create his own world, one that was guaranteed to exist, and one where he could choose who was worthy or unworthy. It would be a paradise after life available only to those that were "perfect".

Tom's mother died a few days after the RRR was founded, and his father had died while he was but a toddler, so with the exception of a few aunts and a single uncle, he had nobody to turn to. Instead, he moved to Japan and got the first ship to the RRR. His dream had to come true. He needed that afterlife to make his fear go away... To bring his parents back to him, including the father he never really knew... and to reward the people that deserve to be rewarded, by granting them life after death. He didn't want to win "the game", he didn't hope to win "the game". He needed to win "the game". The game had become his life, and, hopefully... His afterlife.

What is it that you wish for? A utopia-like afterlife, available to Tom and anyone he chooses to allow entry. In other words, he wants his own form of heaven, as explained in his biography.

Telum

How many do you have? 3

What are their names? Joutei, Slugger, Guile
What do they look like?

Slugger: Slugger takes the form of a shield, perfectly rounded, and large enough to fully engulf Tom if he crouches down. However, the shield is easily seperated, turning it into a pair of large, semi-circular weapons, similar to a pair of gauntlets. Slugger is completely white.
[Slow, heavy attacks]
Guile: In essence, Guile is a Katana, about a metre in length, with ruby and saphire ornaments running up the blade. It curves at the top, similar to a scimitar, yet is still thin and slicetastic like a Katana. [Swift, accurate attacks]
Joutei: Joutei takes the form of a long brace that covers Tom's forearm. From this brace, there is a single long spike that projects from the front, along the back of his forearm, as well as a set of smaller spikes on the under arm side, for when Tom is holding someone against him.
[Counter- and grapple-based attacks]

What are their personalities?

Slugger: Slugger enjoys the thrill of combat and the adrenaline of pummeling an enemy. He apparently fears nothing, even going so far as to laugh at the fears of "mere mortals", as he calls them.
Guile: Guile is the weapon form of dashing, daring, deceiving rogue. He is quick-witted, but evil beyond belief; moreso than he would openly admit, and moreso than even Tom Warden knows.
Joutei: Joutei was Tom's original Telum, and the two get along very well. Joutei has a strange personality disorder, in that her beliefs and opinions adapt based on people around her, meaning she will agree with absolutely ANYTHING someone tells her, and she has no fixed personality of her own. Which explains why she gets along with Tom, unlike Slugger and Guile.
