View Full Version : FKL Deathmatch Tourney Character Submission



Sord
Oct 28, 2006, 07:25 PM
In the past (a long time ago in FKL) a decent writer would somtimes write death tourneys for the people of FKL. There were only a few and some never finished, bust as I said, that was a long time ago.

Now we have new users, new weapons, and new relations. I've decided to write a tourney for those who are willing to submit a character. Each person can submit ONE and only ONE character

The winner of each fight will be determined by a coin flip by me. Since on a large scale, I really don't give a shit about any of you, you can trust my fairness. I will not be submitting a character for fairness' sake.

Other than what you submit for you characters description, stats, and personality, I get full say in how they play out. Granted, I'll obviously keep them in character. In the past tournaments this was usually written tongue in cheek. However, I tend to be much more brutal when I tend to write, so while there may be humorous death or accidents in battle, expect more blood and pain descriptions than anything.

All entries must be in by Thursday. Why Thursday you ask? Because I have a shortened day of school that day and will have a good chunk of time to be bored and thus I can write. How many matches I do at a time is completely up to me.

Anyone submitting a character needs to include the following. Keep in mind, no illegal weapons like nukes or quote cannons! No single move or weapon will cause an instant death. Even something like dropping a colony would still take several minutes before actually hitting, and it would kill both people anyways. However, submit uber weapons/moves regardless since I may do fatality like moves. The stage layout will change at my discretion.

Anyone submitting a character needs to include the following.

Name
Character Appearance (keep it brief)
Fighting Habits (offensive, defensive, strike first, think it through, etc.)
Skills/Abilities (this can be anything from physical strength to fighting styles to fireballs and magic)
Weapon Description (if you are going to use some obscure foreign named weapon google a pic for me)
Additional Info (anything else you want to add)

Keep them comin, I already have the first set of matches written for these contendors. That means you are guaranteed at least six matches on thursday. No I'm not telling anyone who won them, you'll have to wait till thursday http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif I will tell you each one is three paragraphs minimum and that I have nearly 4 pages with size 10 arial font in word.

If I don't get more people then the amount of fights in the next round will get shorter and shorter much quicker than if I had more. Remember, for each round of matches half the people get killed! It's basic math, albight morbid, but basic math nonetheless.

Sord
Oct 30, 2006, 04:49 PM
meh, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to much, I already have all current first round matches done, so I suppose I can let the tension build since you'll be recieving them right away on thursday (hell, i may even put them up before going to school.) Even though I'm displaying them here, they will be put in the new thread I make specifically for the matches. I'll put them up now to save you the nuisance of backtracking through the thread.

Round 1 Matches

Match 1
Sargeant Shligger
Dizzy

Match 2
Ecka
Leviatha

Match 3
Bot-Bot
Eclair

Match 4
Shatteredweasel
Teddy Roosevelt

Match 5
Feelmirath
Zuku

Match 6
Mortimor Kirk II
Shadowpawn

I haven't decided if I will use standard tree format to continue the matches (winner of match 1 vs winner of match 2, winner of match 3 vs. winner of match 4.)
So in the next round of matches winner of match 3 might just fight winner of match 6 or something. Whatever I choose to do, i will never pick it directly. I will merely alphabetize them or roll dice or spin a spinner or something.

Either way I would like at least two more people. That way after this round I will have at least four fighters left (2 matches) and then 2 fights (final) Granted, I'll gladly take 20 contestants if it ever gets that high.

Scrub
Nov 1, 2006, 10:50 PM
Name: Scrub

Character Appearance:A very short Beast, with shoulder length purple hair, the same color for his outfit, and a blue beret resting between his pointy beasty ears.

Fighting Habits:Strikes quick as possible, furiously as possible, as to not allow his opponent a chance to think or react.

Skills/Abilities:Is stereotypically the 'fast small guy,' but being a beast, he packs quite a bit of power behind his punch. Also as a beast, he can nanoblast, though he's more lithe than muscular, and stays the same height(no 20 foot tall behemoth ape bullshit)

Weapon Description:Unarmed, though in nanoblst form, he uses his claws and teeth.

Additional Info:Given to annoying banter to distract and irritate his opponent, like deadpool or spiderman. Often laughs and makes fun of any flaws/screwups that his opponent makes in battle. Often assumed to be a kid, but he's really about 19 years old.

Looking up, Kirk sees that the colony falling like a comet. There is no where to run, but it doesn't matter. The now dead idiot didn't put a homing device in the thing. The crowd watches in awe as a huge mushroom cloud rises in the distance and some small country is obliterated.

well, I hadn't known what order of who was fighting who, but now that Bot-bot has made a bracket I'll be lazy and use that.

also, I might do a loser braket for the hell of it. The idea of a stuffed Teddy vs. a (very) smelly Sgt or something could be funny. If I choose to do so though, it will be after the main tournament, and I will write up all 5 matches before I post them. I also doubt I will do them as fast. Now, if you'll excuse me I'll go finish the next two matches.

Newbie vs Shattered

Shattered looks down on his opponent, a puffball.

"what the hell is this?" he curses. He nudges the creaturn with his foot, it makes a cute squeaky noise.

Suddenly both fighters hear the referee's whistle blow. Shattered looks at the ref and Newbie latches onto his face.

"Oh snap!" he gasps as he falls to the ground and struggles to rip the puffball away. Newbie makes cute squeaky noises in delight as Shattered struggles to say another sentence, "Jesus! Help!"

"I help those who help themselves." Jesus shrugs as he sips his coffee.

Newbie then reveals a limb from his body, and a giant peice of metal attached to it. He then holds the gun up as Shattered finally pries him off and throws him to the ledge. Newbie aims at the ground and fires, propelling him safely back to the middle of the arena. The puffball shuffles to Shattered and kicks him in the shin. After a moment of hopping around on one leg Shattered picks the puffball up and punches it but to no avail. Each blow just makes Newbie squeak, as if he was a chew toy with fur. Newbie then pulls out two of his massive guns and opens fire. The dust settles and Shattered is no where to be seen.

FATALITY
