[Showdown] Risorgimento

The World Martial Arts Tournament is one of the most grand spectacles in the developed world. Warriors from across the globe venture in once every ten years to be a part of this fantastic occurrence. The meddle and guts of men and women are tested in the heat of battle, and the crowds that are drawn reach into the thousands.

This year, however, the tournament was not open for just anyone to enter. This year, the combatants were hand-picked by a so-called "Board of Directors", so that dream matches could be assigned and there wouldn't be any of those boring 1-hit KO fights that seemed to fill the ring these days.

Letters were shipped out across the world, but in an even stranger twist, the letters were shipped to other universes, and dimensions. How, or why, is unknown. The letters merely pop into existence, informing the reader in their native language that they have been chosen (and will be required to) attend the tournament, and that the prize is very, very generous. Transportation was even offered if the combatant had no way to get there (which many of them didn't, since they don�??t have dimension-transcending machinery).

It's been a month since those letters were sent out, and today is the day they are set to arrive.

The greatest tournament of all time... Have you been chosen?




Just follow my template for characters. Please note: I reserve the right to reject your application if I believe not enough thought has been put into it. Also note that we will be using standard English grammar for dialogue, so no:

Goku: *picks up a rock* I pikked up a rawk

If you do that, I will destroy you. Or at least dismiss you from the roleplay.

Now.

Name: Goten
Age: 17
Height: 6'2
Weight: 180 lbs.
Appearance: Click here.
Weapons: His fists, and ki energy.
Abilities: (subject to change) The infamous Great Turtle Wave, also known as the Kamehameha. Goten focuses his ki and sends it out in one amazing blast. He can send out an even larger blast, a "Super" Kamehameha, but this depletes much of his energy and tires him out. He can also send out much smaller blasts of focused ki, sometimes using them as a barrage. Goten, along with his great power, has a great amount of speed, and at times can move so fast it seems as if he's teleporting. He also seems to show a strange power when his emotions are stirred...
Personality: Goten is a carefree, easygoing young man, without a worry in the world. He's a bit naive at times, but generally cares about the well-being of everyone around him. He's an undying optimist, and loves to test his power against those of others in spars. His only real weakness is that he can't stand to skip a meal, a trait he shares with much of his family.
Bio: Goten was raised by his mother, Chi-Chi, alongside his brother, Gohan. His father died of a mysterious heart disease not long after his brother defeated the evil android known as Cell. Since then, he has trained with his older brother, who has taken the crown of defender of Earth in place of his father, and plans for Goten to be his successor. Despite never seeing his father, Goten shares many of his traits, something that his entire family notices. After Gohan, Goten is the strongest warrior from his land, although he doesn't boast about it at all.

Name: Aria Dormello
Age: 19
Height: 5'10
Weight: 135 lbs.
Appearance: Aria is a petite girl with long, silky black hair. Her skin is an almost ghostly white, a feature amplified by her ruby-colored eyes. Her attire consists of a black sleeveless skirt that reaches to just above her knees, and underneath that is a white long sleeve shirt and black leggings. She has a long, flowing scarf made of white silk around her neck. She wears tall black boots, with knives strapped to each side. To her back is strapped a katana, the sheath of which is made of a hard black metal, wrapped in red cloth.
Weapons: Two knives strapped to her boots, her katana, and her wits.
Abilities: A simple grasp of healing magic, along with a slight dabble of elemental magic, her strongest being the element of fire.
Personality: Aria is somewhat headstrong, and proud of her power. She has an intense sense of honor and self-esteem, and will let no one say they're above her. This promotes her "never say die" attitude: she'd rather die than be defeated and live on. This is her major fault, however; sometimes she keeps getting up when she should just stay down.
Bio: Aria was raised as an orphan in a village of shamans and elementalists. Lacking the ability to summon spirits, and having only a slight ability to control elements, she instead honed her physical power and swordsmanship. She quickly grew to be the strongest in her village, and has sworn to protect it. Needless to say, she isn't so happy to have to leave there to compete in some senseless tournament.



also, you should probably check out team showdown. why? because we discuss this whole thing there, and that's where the tournament bracket will be posted.

Name: Fan "Night Wave"
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Age: 22
Height: 5'8
Weight: 115 lbs.
Appearance: Fan has long black hair, reaching about an inch past her shoulders. Her eyes are black as coal, although some claim seeing them turn red once in a while, like a spark struck the coal. Fan wears a red long-sleeved shirt swirled with orange, and over it a short sleeved black jacket, held partially open (about four inches from edge to edge) with a leather strap holding the sides of the jacket together. Her pants were dark blue, and made out of a material that she didn't know. All she knew was that they were made out of a strong, light, flexible material, and that was all that mattered. She also wore light flexible black shoes that allowed for quick footwork easily.
Weapons: Fan primarily fights with a brother and sister sword combination. Kimaru, the brother, is a saw blade that has about a dozen large rippers facing the hilt of the sword. The inside of the ripper is dull, allowing it to easily catch and opponent and adding ripping power, and the outside is sharp, allowing for quick stabs and to escape parry's more easily. Naria, the sister, is Fan's favorite of the two. It's a single-edged dagger with a knuckle guard. On command, the blade will release, revealing a chain extending from the hilt to the blade, making a sort of chain-blade-whip. This is a very flexible weapon, which can be used to shield the user from smaller projectiles, strike the opponent from a range, entangle them, strangle them, disarm them, and many other uses. She can also launch the blade from the hilt at great speeds like a gun. She likes to use this for trick attacks. In addition to the stated weapons, Fan keeps six throwing knives and a dagger hidden on the inside of her jacket just below the back of the collar, which she uses for quick surprise attacks. She also keeps a knife on her right ankle. In addition, Fan is quite competent as a hand-to-hand fighter.
Abilities: Fan's greatest asset is her speed and stamina. She can run faster than a cheetah nearly indefinitely thanks to Flame's intense training. She can also push her speed to break the sound barrier, which makes her virtually untraceable, although this tires Fan out much more quickly. Fan is also in possession of a darkness ability, which she can channel into attack and weapons. When shot from her bare hand, the attack can burn as if fire, and has a strong impact. If concentrated, it can be formed into an attack Fan calls "True Night". This attack will literally eat through anything and anyone it touches, leaving nothing left. The downside is that it takes time to charge. Several minutes, although Fan can move while charging it. The dark energy can also be charged into Kimaru and Naria. When charged into Kimaru, it can give the sword the ability to slice through anything like it was made of butter, draining Fan's energy quickly, or into Naria, where it can be used as a spread-shot long ranged attack, or as a heavy impact close attack.
Fan is also very good at hand-to-hand combat. With her amazing speed and reflexes, she can catch almost any opponent off guard and hit them dozens of times in a matter of seconds. She isn't particularly strong, but makes up for it with the sheer volume of hits she puts in.
Personality: Fan is snarky and arrogant. She believes herself to be the greatest assassin who ever lived, and the most loyal follower of Lord Flame. Loyal to death to her lord, she will carry out an assassination he sends her to do without question and complete it with incredible efficiency. Fan is also quite intelligent, although she doesn't show it much. To her enemies, she often taunts those she views worth her time, and simply cuts down everyone else, being quite picky on who is worth fighting. Recently, however, she has been acting very skittish and distant, with something on her mind which could either strength her resolve even more, or change her forever.
Bio: Quickly abandoned by her mother and father in life, Fan grew up most of her life alone in a town called Whispering Gale with her best friend Sky. Fan lived in an abandoned house alone and stole food, which is how she passed her days. One day, however, an evil presence came to Whispering Gale, chasing Sky and Fan down. When it came down to it, Sky abandoned Fan, and Fan was consumed with the darkness, leaving her with her dark powers and another presence within her, which has stayed dormant for a long time.
For a while, Fan had no control over her powers. She would destroy any town she got close to without even realizing what she was doing and get run out of town. She eventually met Flame. The lord of the land, he saw potential in Fan and began to train her. Putting her through training too gruesome and cruel to describe, Fan became a perfect killing tool. One of a silence and shadow, and one of swords and blood. Efficient and powerful, she became the perfect tool for Flame to use. Until one day.
Finally, she was getting her chance. Flame was sending her to kill Sky, who had finally been identified. That's when everything was turned around. After the first attempt failed due to a lucky break by Sky, she was revived by an old seer named Briggs. With the help of her friend Blade and a new teammate named Devin, she had actually managed to defeat Fan when she returned. But not on her own. Fan was trying to make her suffer, tear apart any memory she held dear, but some spirit that was lying dormant within Sky woke and defeated Fan, nearly killing her. When Sky came to, however, she saved Fan. Fan eventually left without completing her mission, greatly angering Flame. She headed north, trying to avoid Flame's soldiers, trying to figure out what had happened, and how her world had been turned around so much in so little of a time. That's when she got a letter and found the perfect place to hide until she had everything figure out.

Name: "Jaganshi" Hiei
Race: Demon
Sex: Male
Age: Unknown. Some claim Hiei is close to 250 years old, although he appears to be about 15. Being a Demon, it's almost impossible to guess his real age from appearance, and Hiei has never admitted how old he is.
Height: 4'10 (Without his hair)
Weight: 110 lbs.
Appearance: Hiei wearing his cloak.
Hiei without his cloak.
The Jagan Eye
The Darkness Flame Tattoo + Dragon of the Darkness Flame
Weapons: Hiei primarily fights with single edge katana-like sword. He was trained to use this weapon by Shigure, the Demon Surgeon, and is quite proficient with it. He sometimes fights with his fists, although he prefers not to because he isn't very good with them in comparison to his sword skill.
Abilities: At a glance, Hiei's two most notable skills are his sword, which, as stated before, he is a master with (Allowing him to throw or stab the blade with pinpoint accuracy), and his speed. Hiei also possesses powers of an S-Class Demon, the best of the best. Hiei's speed is second to none where he is from, and he often seemed to be teleporting depending on how fast he moves. Also, being the son of a fire demon and an ice apparition, Hiei has an unusual resistance to heat and cold. Most lesser ice and fire attacks don't even register to Hiei, and even powerful ones have reduced effects. Hiei is in possession of the Jagan eye, although not a natural one, Implanted by the Demon Surgeon Shigure. This eye grants Hiei many psychic abilities including Telepathy, Telekinesis, Long-Distance Sight through some objects (As Hiei puts it, there is nothing that the Jagan doesn't see), and the ability to erase memories. The Jagan even possesses the ability to control weak-minded humans and demons. It should also be noted that the eye seems to bridge Hiei's flame abilities when it is open (It is commonly kept closed behind a white headband):
Fist of the Mortal Flame - This technique allows Hiei to use the power of the flame from the mortal world, harnessing it into his fist for a devastating punch. The punch can also be paired with his other hand for double the devastation. Hiei has also demonstrated the ability to shoot the attack at a range for a flamethrower-like effect.
Dragon of the Darkness Flame - Hiei's most devastating attack. Using this attack, Hiei summons forth a Dragon from the pits of Demon World, sending it at his opponent to annihilate them. This attack has been known to reduce fire-users to ashes and rip apart anything in its way. Hardly anything can stand up to the might of the Dragon. Hiei used to need to use his Demon Energy as a lure to bring the Dragon from the pits of Demon world, but in a fight against the demon Bui, Hiei absorbed the dragon into himself (It taking form as a black tattoo) and can now release it from himself with even more power by reinforcing it with his own Demon Energy (As Hiei put it, "I am the dragon"). After using the Darkness Flame technique, Hiei normally has to sleep for a while, having used so much energy.
Sword of the Darkness Flame - A less potent version of the full flame technique, this version uses Hiei's sword as a channel for the sword, creating a weapon that can slice through just about anything. Hiei has also demonstrated that he can create a darkness flame sword without using his own as a channel. Despite being devastating, Hiei dislikes using this move. He finds it devoid of any taste or artistry (comparing it to Kuwabara's Spirit Sword) and also cowardly to contain something as powerful as the Dragon in a form like a sword. Even so, he uses it as a filler move for those he sees unworthy of facing the full brunt of the technique.
Personality: Hiei often stays alone, and comes off as aloof and elusive, having quite a cynical view on the human world, mocking emotions humans feel, especially those of friendship and love. He also seems to be indifferent with allies he has, often mocking or bickering with them. Despite that, he respects people who deserve it deep down.
Bio: Hiei was born a monster, a boy of fire in an Ice Apperation village of all women. His mother, Hina, also gave birth to a girl named Yukina, who was allowed to stay, however Hiei was not. He was banished from the village, thought to die. Hiei actually survived and began to run with a group of demon bandits, the only token from his mother a necklace with a precious gem made from the crystalized tear his mother shed while giving birth to him. Eventually, the bandits shunned Hiei too, in fear of his power. One day he became careless, having been showing the rare necklace off to attract strong enemies. It worked, and one opponent slice the precious stone from Hiei's neck and below into a river before Hiei finished him off. Despite his searches, Hiei was unable to find it, finally realizing what it meant to him.
His searches brought him to the Demon Surgeon Shigure, who agreed to implant Hiei with the Jagan Eye to help him find his Mother's Stone and his homeland, where he sought his revenge. The operation took its toll, reducing Hiei's abilities form a Class-A Demon to a lowly Class-D. In addition, being one who appreciated irony, after hearing Hiei's story, he decided the price of the surgery would be that he would never be able to tell Yukina that he was her brother, to which Hiei replied "I never intended to anyways." While his eye couldn't find his stone, he found his home village easily enough, soon seeing it for the dead village it always was, deciding to spare it. He soon learned that his mother had committed suicide some time ago.
Soon after, Hiei met up with Kurama and Goki to steal the Spirit World artifacts, which he planned to use to make himself more powerful in the coming years. This backfired, however, when the Spirit Detective Yusuke Urameshi defeated all three, even killing Goki. Afterwards, Hiei found himself in service to Spirit World, still serving the time for his crime. He ended up teaming up with Yusuke, Kurama, and a human named Kuwabara to stop the Four Saint Beasts, win the Dark Tournament (Defeating the Demon Toguro in the process), and defeat the last Spirit Detective, Shinobu Sensui, and stop his plan to open the portal from Human World to Demon World.
After all these trials, Hiei finally left to Human World to serve under Mukuro, one of the Three Kings of demon world. It was here he fought and defeated Shigure, who refunded his original price, allowing Hiei to tell his sister of their relations if he wished (Although to this day he hasn't). It was also revealed here that Mukuro had Hiei's stone, which she returned to him. Ready to move on the other king, Yomi, after the third, Rizen, died, they were all shocked when Yusuke Urameshi suggested that they all break up the armies and fight in a tournament to decide who ruled sprit world, which everyone agreed to.
Hiei fought in the tournament, losing in the third round to Mukuro, but releasing her from the chains of her past in the process. The ruler of Demon world, Enki, as decided by the tournament, then made deals with Spirit World to allow Demons to roam free in human world without interference with humans.
Hiei was stuck on patrol duty, making sure no Humans wandered into Demon World, and those who did were returned safely. He was so bored that he had actually tried to pick a fight with Mukuro for some fun. Until a letter appeared, telling him of an interesting proposition for a tournament. And Hiei had never been one to turn down a challenge.

Name: Magni [NO LAST NAME PROVIDED]
Race: Human/Machine Space Marine
Sex: Male
Age: 70
Height: 7'0 (With Armor)
Weight: 1,600 lbs (With Armor and Servo-Arm)
Appearance: Magni
Weapons:
Storm Bolter - A powerful weapon designed to shoot "Bolt" rounds. These rounds are explosive, designed to detonate upon hitting their target and are quite deadly. This weapon in particular fires with two barrels, making it much easier for Magni to hit his target. The gun is designed to be held be a space marine, and would be almost impossible for a normal human to handle well, let alone fire. Magni, on the other hand, can fire it one handed. The downside is that it doesn't have a particularly large clip and takes upwards of 15 seconds to reload.
Dark Angles Ceremonial Sword - A large sword that would be a two-handed weapon for most people is held in one hand by a space marine. This sword is often used in the Dark Angle chapters for special ceremonies and such, but is a powerful sword and can be used in combat. Other than its size, there's nothing else remarkable about it.
Lascannon - This shoulder-fired heavy weapon is designed for felling tanks. It shoots out a highly concentrated beam of energy that can slice through nearly any enemy. With a traditional backpack feed, the gun can shoot almost 100 rounds before needing to be reloaded, but Magni doesn't use that feed, and giving the gun only a few shots and the gun has an enormous reload time, every shot needs to be aimed carefully. Besides that, the sheer size and weight requires a long time to ready and aim, especially with Magni's minimum training with it. Normally it's only used under the cover of the rest of his team, but in this situation, it would only be used to fell a huge target.
Servo-Arm - Standard Issue for all Techmarines, this mechanical arm uses a spinal implant to perfectly sync with the Techmarine's thoughts. This arm has incredible strength, able to life objects weighing up to several tons. The arm itself can extend up to 1.5 meters from Magni. It's also a deadly weapon capable of smashing through nearly anything, pulping normal humans in one swing. Despite its power, it isn't incredibly flexible, and swift opponents could dodge it well enough.
Abilities: Space Marines were grown from a young age to be killing marines, and have many enhancements made to them, including organs that reduce their bleeding, reinforced bones, a gland that will let them spit acid, and lungs that allow them to survive gases that would instantly kill most. Magni's body is also modified to be stronger and tougher than most humans, allowing him to take damage and destroy things that could normally take out platoons of soldiers. The Armor Magni wears is incredibly strong, made of reinforced metals not known to many, forged with care, increasing his strength even further, allowing him to operate without food for long periods of time, and enhancing other basic abilities, but giving him poor dexterity, poor sneaking, and impressive speed, but poor turning.
Techmarines themselves have given their bodies up for more enhancements. Magni himself has had all of his limbs replaced with cybernetic ones, as well as several internal organs. With all of these parts in him, he's more machine than human now, and can take a great deal of punishment and experience very little pain because of it. These limbs also make him stronger, quicker, and help to make up for his poor dexterity, which is still well below par. With his Techmarine training, Magni is also proficient at repairing his gear, limbs, and armor, although doing this in the heat of battle is impossible. Also, the Techmarines, being members of the Mechanius cult, have learned to communicate with the machine spirit that resides within every piece of tech, including his armor and servo-arm. He's a true warrior to the end, but unlike many Space Marines of the Deathwatch, he knows restraint and will give up when he knows he is beaten.
Personality: Magni seems to have a very emotionless personality, as most of his personality was ground out of him in training. Despite this, Magni is actually very calm and collective, choosing mostly to calculate his situation and act without haste, knowing that most fights are won with the mind rather than with pure might. He also has a sense of humor that survived despite all the mechanical changes, and tends to joke a bit, although this is rare. Unlike many Space Marines, he's a little more accepting of other states of mind and beliefs, and is more willing to accept how others live in comparison to his Battle Brothers, although life without technology confuses him greatly.
Bio: Magni is a Dark Angle's Techmarine within the Deathwatch. Serving through the Terminus system, the Deathwatch and all of its chapters are dedicated to wiping out all threats to humanity, and keeping them united and peaceful. The Space Marines, genetically modified super humans, are the most effective members in this regard. From quick Tactical Sniper Marines to the hulking Dreadnaught, they're all specialized and incredibly effective killing machines. The Techmarines themselves are dedicated to maintaining technology, capturing alien technology, and preserving what they have, as well as making upgrades. It is with them that the most powerful and blessed pieces of technology are trusted. Magni is a relatively new recruit (In comparison to other Space Marines who have lived for over 1,000 years), and had completed several very important missions across the system. He and most of his battle brothers were sent invitations to some "Dimensional Tournament", although they never gave this any thought, as fighting along side the Deathwatch was much more important than any tournament. However, on a more recent mission to find a missing ambassador, one of the Librarian Space Marines (Those who use Psychic Powers), accidentally ripped a hole open in the Warp, unleashing a Demon Prince, and sending Magni spiraling through time and space. When he awoke, he found himself in need to return home, and only one way to do it: Enter the tournament. With that, he accepted his invitation and was transported to the tournament, where he plans to win decisively and demand passage back to his Deathwatch squad.

All three are accepted.

((Mmmm. I'm going to enter one for now. Blank Bio would be nice too))

Name: Dru Smith a.k.a Ziedi the Reaper
Race: African American of a enhanced Human Race in a Parallel Universe
Age: 32
Height: 6'2
Appearance: He wears a basic Samurai Gear(Similar to that worn of Afro Samurai), which are resistant to fire damage and wide brimmed straw hat, usually hung over his eyes. He was a dark complexion and expresses a calm, relaxing aura. He wears wooden block sandals that are extremely light and strong, and are able to absorb massive shock. His skin has been interwoven with an armor, making it extremely tough. He keeps his hands and nails neat and is clean shaven. On his back marks an ornately drawn tattoo of the Phoenix which ties into his powers. Over all that he wears a tailed coat, which also relates to his powers. He also a fire imbued cinnamon toothpick in his mouth usable in battle.

Weapons: The Repears Demise- A snaking Scythe that has Celestial elemental powers. The head release it's chain mode. It has control over the stars and sky, and allows him to drop meteorites at a whim and draw the power of Supernovas to eradicate foes. He is very nimble with Scythe itself, and uses it with his advance Martial Arts training. At times he won't even use the powers of the Scythe, being able to disperse enemies with his fighting skills. The Scythe however, will only work in his hands.

Cinnamon Pick: While holding the form of an innocuous toothpick, it actually allows him to spit fire blast and storms, similar to a flame thrower. Mixed with his elemental control over the wind, it's a deadly combo.

Sari The Phoenix: His pet, Dru will often summon it before battles he know he will fight. It will usually follow him in it's miniature form, and Dru loves it deeply. It has a pierce screen soundwave and a dark flame attack. It also allows Dru to attain his highest form. See Abilities for more.

Abilities: Dru is skilled in elemental magic having control over wind,fire,water and sun, though it relies on him being able to make the hand signs. He knows what combos are best used to together to buffer his strength. He is a highly skilled martial artist with skills matched by no one. He has serious stamina, and if he doesn't use his magical energy, has been known to be able to fight for three days straight. The Phoenix Tattoo on his back allows him to summon his Blue, gold and Silver tipped Phoenix named Sari. Sari actually can be summoned in a small form, and will sometimes accompany Dru into battle. It's full size form is about the size of a large elephant with a wide wingspan. Dru can merge with Sari to form the Element Phoenix Knight, but this form takes a lot of energy out of him.

Bio: Dru Smith was a video game God. In his home planet, they had developed a video game called the "The world". Ziedi played and was one of the top five players of the whole game. He held a programmer position as bug fixer, earning him his nickname. But the game held many dark secrets. To fix it, he had to merge the game with his home world to rid it of it's evil. He fought diligently for years with other and against many foes to make it right again, which greatly enhanced his skills. While all other lost their in-game powers with the destruction of the game, Dru for some reason kept his and has been honing them ever since, under his old gamer tag, Ziedi a.k.a the Reaper.

My turn. Excitement lol. I will post one character for now because I will need time for my brain to recharge lol.

Name: Fraus
Age: Unknown but has the appearance of a 25 year old.
Gender: Male
Height: 5'9
Weight: 164 lbs.
Appearance: Being an entity with the DNA of many beings his is able to become almost anything at will. He seems to usually be in a human form. His human form is almost always wearing a full set of green battle armor, created himself which covers everything except his completely dark green eyes. He is able to completely remove this suit if necessary with ease usually during tough battles. This reveals a man with short black hair which reaches to about half his forehead. He also has a strange mix of tan and green skin tone. He wears a dark green coat with a dark blue cape that reaches to the back of his shin.
He also wears dark green pants that reach the bottom of his shin right before his foot. He wears boots that are, you guess it dark green. He also wears a bandanna that is dark green on the right half and dark blue on the other half. He also wears black gloves. Being specially made by Fraus for Fraus, his clothes can enhance all of his abilities. He doesn't wear anything to store his weapons because he can summon them at will.
Weapons: Fraus has a huge collection of weapons he can summon at anytime. These weapons can range from daggers to rifles. They are also designed by him which makes them react positively to his energy which increased their deadliness.
Abilities: Can change form into almost any being in the universe making him incredibly versatile. These forms all have their own special abilities but have a lot in common such as wearing lots of green. He is also a master of a ridiculous amount of weapons but he favors his first creation, the incredibly powerful sword know as Viridis. He is a master of deception and confusion to the point where everything might seem as an illusion to the opponent. He is also able to use a large range of magical abilities such as elemental attacks, light and dark magic and some magic abilities created he himself created. He is also very fast, strong, and flexible. He eyes also give him a 360 degree field vision allowing to see almost any incoming attack even through solid objects. He also has and endless amount of energy since his body is able to quickly recycle energy used. When he does get hit his "blood" which is pure energy can actually harm his opponents. Causing harm to him requires either very quick, strong, or multiple attacks at once. He does not have much experience with taking hits which can lead to him taking a lot of damage.
Personality: Fraus is actually quite a friendly but isn't very open to most people. He treats everyone with respect and has a strong sense of honor. In battle he seems to have a lot of lust for blood and tends to go overboard. He likes to keep "trophies" of the enemies he gruesomely kills. He still does respect his opponents and never underestimates them.
Bio: Fraus is a one of a kind being that tends to be alone most of the time and actually enjoys it. After visiting many worlds he decided to start creating his own weapons for himself. He first creation, Viridis was an immediate success and he upgrades and modifies it frequently. He soon started to take his skills and put them to good use helping end conflicts everywhere in the universes. He was very good at this and was seen as a legendary hero in many places in the universes. One time however he made a huge mistake. He went overboard in battle and wiped out a whole dimension. He disappeared for many centuries after this. He slowly was going a bit crazy for not having anything to battle or anything to do. He then received a letter inviting him to join the World Martial Arts Tournament. Noticing a possible danger for the tournament's world due to inviting warriors from all over the dimensions and universes he quickly begins to make his way to the world to make sure nothing goes wrong as an act of atonement for his mistake and also for a good fight.

Ziedi the Reaper is in. Fraus is as well... but he seems a bit over-powered. Keep tabs on him, god-modding is a big no-no. I'll let it slide for now, though.

I had a feeling you would say that lol. But everyone here is an awesome fighter so he will have a lot of challenge.

It's cool if he seems super strong in his bio. As long as everything is generally on even ground in the fights, it suits me fine.

Exactly the point lol.

Keryn (Pronounced: Care-ren) and Cydran (Pronounced: Psy-dren).

Abilities: Able to produce fire from her hands. Sometimes, if provoked enough her whole body is able to be on fire without any burn marks afterwards. She can also call upon a pheonix made of fire. She can control said pheonix almost like pokemon, but the pheonix can only be summoned once a round (a day outside of the tournament.)
Personality: Kydren is caring like her mother, but can be a real hot-head around her brother Cydran. She gives her opponents respect and dignity in battle and wishes for everyone and anyone to win in the tournament.
Bio: Keryn was born on the same day and same time as her brother Cydran. It's unknown how she got her powers but it could be genetics of her mother and father having magic. When she first learned how to summon the pheonix, around the age 8 or so, the pheonix was young as her to. And as the years went by, both grew up to the way they are now. Keryn waits with her brother for the tournament to begin.

Personality: Cydran is very laid-back and keeps to himself some times like his father. Him and his sister head butts most of time, like regular siblings but of course they do have there moments where they care about each other.
Bio: Cydran, like his sister, was born with the power of ice. Again it is possible it's genetics for his mother and father having magic like powers. He always loved to be in the coldest of places, warmer areas alittle to much for him. But luckily he could keep his his temperature cool without a problem. He got his mace in a mountain top in some ruins. He didn't know who left it but the mace seemed to want him. Now he waits with his sister for the tournament to begin.

Also for both, if there is a double battle, they can combine their powers to become even stronger.

((Sorry it took so long, but here's my bios.))

~ ooc: Accepted. Let's begin.

The noon sun rose above the site of the newly re-established World Martial Arts Tournament. Crowds were already gathering in anticipation of what was promised to be one of the most grand showcases of raw power and talent the world had ever seen.

A loud rumble was heard. In front of the stadium, the air seemed to stir like a heat wave, before finally ripping open and exposing a large rip in space-time. From that rip emerged a small single-passenger ship, many of which were sent to pick up competitors from far off worlds. The ship landed, and the hatch opened to reveal a slender girl with long, black hair. She hopped out of the ship and began stretching.

"That thing is no place for a lady to be comfortable..." After sucessfully popping her back a few times, she looked around. She was clearly in the area the competitors were supposed to meet at before heading in to the tournament... but no one else was there.

"Of course, everyone else would be fashionably late."

Soon after a another small rip formed, as a similar ship cruised through; except this one was a double passenger. After making its way out of the rip, said rip slowly closed itself, not even notice-able as to where the ship came from. The ship slowly landed where the first one was. Even though a soft hum could be heard from the ship's engines, the muffles an argument of some kind could be heard from inside. As the doors opened, the argument grew louder.

"You know what? I don't even want to see you for the rest of the tournament!" yelled someone with a young man's voice. Soon after, said person stormed out of the ship heading towards the arena. The young man could be seen wearing almost all blue with a mace on his back. He didn't make any eye contact as he stormed off, into the immense cloud.

"Ya..well, I hope you get lost.." said another voice from inside, which sounded like a young ladies voice. Soon, everyone knew who it was, if they were to pay attention, as the voice belonged to timid young woman who was dressed in almost all red. She looked around at sight before her, stepping off the ship to let the doors close before her. She stared in awe at the huge arena and the ton of people. Her eyes then turned their attention to another young woman standing near a similar ship. She walked over holding her hands together. "Um...are you a competitor?" asked the young woman. "My names Keryn and that was my brother Cydran. Sorry about the yelling and my brothers actions." apologized Keryn as she bowed down, hoping for forgivness.

Heavy foot falls were heard that seemed to shake the ground as a man who seemed to be made of metal approached. He hadn't been transported by a ship, or a rip in time so it was likely he had simply walked, possibly waiting nearby for the start of the tournament. It would have been odd that someone like this had already been here before the others arrived, if everything else about him wasn't already so odd that it made how he entered look trivial in comparison. Around 7 feet tall and with a cybernetic arm poised high above his head, he looked like no others around. He carried strange weapons that looked larger than anything a normal human could use, and much deadlier. Despite his size, he seemed to carry himself with careful precision. His face was hidden behind a red helmet that seemed to reflect no emotions. He made his way over to the girl. "Is this where the tournament will take place?" He asked. His voice gave little hint at emotions, especially since it was being played out through a speaker in the helmet, making him sound quite robotic.

The hum of the second ship woke Dru from his nap. He lifted his a bit and looked at the first three who had arrived. Only the first one had interested him.
"She looks a powerful young lady. The other two seem like squabbling brats."

He stretched in the tree he was laying in, the noon soon providing sun and an excellent place to relax and focus his energy. He and Sari and arrived much earlier, he always liked to watch the other arrive. And why not? It was beautiful out. And he was itching for a good brawl, though he would never show it. He called Sari softly from her perch above him and put her in a summon holding chamber. She wasn't gone, but she couldn't be seen or felt either, and could comeforth with the snap of a finger.

"There's no point in showing tricks yet. I might as well go meet the competition."

He hopped down as who he nicknamed iron sides was arriving.

Now that's interesting. I haven't seen someone so armored sinced I gamed. He thought to himself. He answered the newcomer's question.

"I would assume so good sir, or else someone seriously mislead us all here."

Wow, Aria thought to herself, they weren't joking when they said the competitors seem tough. I don't even know if I could dent the guy in that armor... I wonder if that's even fair. Hmph. I'll just have to rely on someone else to take him out, then..

She placed her hands on her hips and looked around. "Shouldn't there be a guide.. or host.. or something? Or are we just really early? You'd expect they'd get us here on time, waiting before such a big even is nerve-wracking... hopefully everyone will show up soon."

She let out a quick sigh and began lightly tapping her foot on the ground, her impatience building by the minute.

"Thank you," The massive armored man said to Dru. His heavy foot falls led him a small distance away, where he took off his helmet. A feint heart might scream. The man's head didn't seem to have a hair on it apart from his eyelashes and eyebrows. A good portion of his head seemed to be replaced with a metal plate. His face didn't have much of an expression on it, although his eyes quickly scanned the rest of the combatants. He quickly laid his weapon out on the ground and began muttering to himself. Anyone getting close to him or with great hearing could possibly hear him muttering nonsense, but it seemed as if he was saying some sort of blessing for his armor. Not asking a god for luck or anything, but almost like he was blessing them himself.

Almost at that exact moment, there was a loud smacking noise. Where a moment ago there had been nothing, there were now two people lying flat on the ground. One was a young girl with long black hair, very beautiful. Her cloths were rather dark, and she looked rather angry. The other was what appeared to be a short man with tall black hair wearing a black cloak.
"Hey shorty! Watch where you're going!" The girl barked as she stood, dusting herself off.
"I was perfectly aware of where I was going. You were the one who was being reckless, you pathetic human," The young man said, standing up quickly.
"Pathetic? You looking to fight short stuff?"
"Obviously."
Anything the short man would then say was drowned out by a sea of insults and swears coming from the woman.

"Your Welcome." Dru watched him do his little chant. "He's a strange fellow. I wonder if his metal goes all the way through." He half said to Aria, half to himself.

He then turned and focused on Aria. "Your right about that. I've been here for a few hours, though I came quite early. No one even came to greet me." He kicked a rock. "My name is Dru by the way, or Ziedi. Either which you prefer, I'll respond to each. May I ask you from milady. You seem the most likable so far out those who have arrived."

He smiled, though he was analyzing everyone. I bet she could kick the crap out of most everyone here. he thought. The wind blew, the sun shone. Dru was getting nervous the nonetheless. He wanted Sari out, but couldn't risk exposing here just yet. His Scythe glittered in the sun.It had been awhile since he had worn it in the sun. The weight felt comforting in a way to him. It held a lot of memories. It had destroyed a lot of evil. And it was going to win him this tournament.

"Listen, guy," Aria said with a slight huff. "I'm not here to make friends. This isn't a social event. I want to hurry and win this thing and get back to my homeland. I don't care if I have to go through every single person here. You know what that means? I'm not interested in chit chat. If you want to play the dating game, I suggest you find someone else." At that, she folded her arms and stared intently into the horizon.

Men are such despicable creatures. Her ruby eyes narrowed as several bitter thoughts ran through her head.

He politely backed down. "I was just trying to make conversation. Besides, I'm not looking to date. I have a wife at home."

He smiled and backed off. Though he was slightly rattled.

Man, what did I do? I just said hi to the woman. Note: do not make her mad. And hopefully I don't have to fight her anytime soon.

He walked back to his tree and his perch, and once again lowered his hat. Might as well get some more sleep.

"Like man has never betrayed the trust of his lover before." Aria's reply was cold. Usually she wasn't this venomous, but she just took a trip through the space-time continuum in a cramped little pod to go to a place she didn't want to go at all.

A few moments of silence passed before a blond man wearing dark black shades and a tux approached them, smiling broadly. "Hey folks! I'm the announcer of the tournament, here to take roll. Let's see..." He began counting the participants that had arrived. "Five... six... seven. Hmm. Well that's no good. There's supposed to be nine of you. Anyone know anything about a..."

The announcer peeked over his glasses to read the roster. "Goten from Earth, or a Fraus from... parts unknown?"
