CONTESTANT THREAD --------- BATTLE THREAD LOUNGE Tournaments will be announced by the style (1v1, 2v2, etc) and the theme of the battles (Volcanic, arctic, etc). There will be a limit of how many characters each player could put into one tournament based on active players. Brackets will be decided by random rolls. POSTING The fights will be advanced by the GM once all fighters have posted, or a maximum 3 days have passed. Unless a player has said they will be gone and left instructions otherwise, all their characters will auto-roll a balanced every turn. COMBAT In combat, each round a character may choose an action: ALL-OUT ATTACK - 2 Attack dice BALANCED - 1 Attack die 1 Defense die TOTAL DEFENSE - 2 Defense Dice Even Rolls (2,4,6,8,10) are successes, odd rolls (3,5,7,9,11) all fail. 1's are Critical Fails, 12's are Critical Success There may be other abilities one can use, which will be explained in the GM's post, such as... ORK RAGE - 3 Attack Dice, Opponent succeeds on 5 & 11 as well PSYKER I- Gain 1 Extra die, rolls 1-3 all fail 1 Attack deals 1 health 1 Defense blocks 1 health Crit Attack deals 2 health 1 Attack and 1 Defense cancel out Critfail Attack causes 1 health to attacker Defense makes Crit Attack deal 1 health Crit Defense cancels Crit Attack Crit Defense deals counter vs normal attack Critfail Defense allows a counter vs Successful Defense Critfail Defense makes a successful attack a Crit Spoiler: Example Turn Player 1 rolls Balanced ; Player 2 rolls Total Defense Player 1 - Attack = 12 (crit) Defense = 1 (CritFail) Player 2 - Defense = 12/6 (Crit/Success) Player 2 Defends (Crit cancels Crit) Player 2 Gets counter (P1 Defense Critfail + P2 Defense Success) Counter = 5 (Fail) End Result = Stalemate HEALTH CONDITIONS Healthy -> Slightly Wounded -> Wounded -> Heavily Wounded -> Near Death -> Dead 9hp -> 8/7hp -> 6/5hp -> 4/3hp -> 2/1hp -> 0hp, Dead WINS AND PROGRESSION In general, the characters will 'level' in a balanced manner. The farther a character gets in a tournament, the more of their gear they can make look 'fancy' with no real gameplay difference. The winning character(s) of a tournament will get something new and fancy, progress towards 'win-locked goals' (such as 3 wins for terminator armor) and must sit out for the next tournament. Other characters will also gain new gear for participation if they haven't won in a while LOSSES In most cases, battle losses will have no consequences beyond being out of the tournament. However, in some cases, or if decided upon by the players in one match, the loser may have to give up one item, may become inactive for a number of tournaments, or even be killed outright CHARACTER SHEET (Each Player may have up to 3 Characters) Name: Race: (Stick to 'standard' races [Imperium, Eldar, Ork, Chaos, Tau, etc] Class: (Same as above, no 'huge' leadership roles like Waaaaghboss or SM Captain) Equipment: (2 weapon sets of 2 hands) [Only Common/Standard weapons] (Armor) [Nothing Similar to Terminator armor] (1-3 Accessories and Special Items) EXAMPLE BANS - Volkite - Rad-Weapons - Terminator Armor - Vehicles / Mounts (as 'weak' as Sentinel & Bike) - Phoenix Lord Weapons - Other named relics Allowed Equipment examples: - Plasma Weapons - Melta Weapons - Missile Launcher - Power Weapons - Las & Auto Weapons - Exarch Weapons THE FIRST TOURNAMENT WILL BE ONE VS ONE BATTLES, IN A STANDARD COLISEUM

Hoping they're all fine. Character #1 - The Alchemist's Daughter Name: Athena Dionys [Female] Race: Human [Chaos] Class: Marauder Champion [Lost and Damned equivalent to Storm Trooper?] Equipment: Scoped Lasrifle Chainsword & Laspistol Well-Kept Carapace Armour Devotion to Slaanesh [grants heightened sense of smell] Flash Grenades [1 use per battle?] Calming Drug [Based on Gladstone; calms the nerves, allows concentration and steady hands where sobriety would allow fear] ---- Character #2 - The Sleeping Horrors' Keeper Name: Nefryr [Female] Race: Necron [Maynarkh Dynasty] Class: Immortal Equipment: Tesla Carbine A pair of clawed, sterile Necron hands Slightly ritualised Immortal Necrodermis False Immortality [Nefryr might be incapacitated, and even very much broken, but given enough time, she will eventually get back up] Enhanced Intelligence and Personality [A rare sane Maynarkh, Nefryr has been updated with the capacity to adapt to unconventional battle situations and serve as something of a conversation partner for the sane Lords and Lychguard to bounce conversation off of] Enhanced Speed [Visited by Szeras once, for a price paid by Toholk the Blinded, Nefryr is capable of walking, running, and climbing at roughly the speed of a human] ---- Character #3 - The Dragon Knight Name: Skipeth of Ghaelen, Daughter of Cynbel (and a whole host of other pompous titles) [Female] Race: Eldar [Exodite] Class: Dismounted Dragon Knight Equipment: Eldar Longsword [One-and-a-half hand style] Shuriken Pistol Exodite Metal Armour [Roughly on par with Light Aspect Armour] Bottled Dragon Fire [Think Molotov Cocktail; a sticky liquid that ignites when coming in contact with air. It is extinguished by water or stop drop and roll, though] Reinforced Heater Shield [Blocks arrows, autobullets and probably las-shots. Bolter rounds or power swords? Not bloody likely.] Ilygad [A declawed, round-toothed roughly parrot-sized flying dragon incapable of breathing fire. He is not trained for combat directly and somewhat cowardly, but Skipeth can direct him with whistling commands and use him to spot opponents]
SKIIIIPPEEEEETHHHH!!! -glomp- .... Sorry about that.... Mhhhh.... Makes me want to bring a char from a different RP in, too or something....
This isn't the Skipeth you know though It's the 90's Comic Book version of Skipeth that went with her mum instead of her dad. Also Athena Dionys is the adopted daughter of my CSM character for EC, so from my watch, this is a two-fer :3
@Uriel1339 @TuskatheDaemonKilla @Casavay (and all others who wish to join) In most cases, assume that accessories will be either a "narrative" aid or will be given a special ability to the character when appropriate. For example... Banshee Mask (Supersonic Scream Ability) Mark of Slaanesh (Grants Slaanesh Psyker Powers) Breath Fire (can breath the flames of Tzeentch) Flash Grenades [1 use per battle?] Calming Drug [Based on Gladstone; calms the nerves, allows concentration and steady hands where sobriety would allow fear] ^^ Those may give abilities in the battles, which will be specified in the posts Ichor Blood (Chaos Mutation - Deadly / Acidic blood) Exoskeleton built into the armor (increases strength) Pain med injector built into armor (eliminates pain for a period of time) Ilygad [A declawed, round-toothed roughly parrot-sized flying dragon incapable of breathing fire. He is not trained for combat directly and somewhat cowardly, but Skipeth can direct him with whistling commands and use him to spot opponents] ^^ Will be usually narrative unless something especially appropriate happens
I don't care.... Skipeth! And well, Yriel Velodonus you should have guessed where from. But yeah... Idk what to do for #3, I want to do something cheesy Uriel-ish.... But I don't wanna go necessarily Tau, I just don't know -shrug- :3 oki doki
Name: Victor Sierra Race: Adeptus Astartes Class: Scout Marine Equipment: -Bolt pistol x2 -Combat Knife x2 -Scout Armor -Frag Grenades -Mines -Demo-charge Name: Gorewrencha Race: Ork Class: (Big) Mek Equipment: -Wrench (2 handed melee weapon) -Burna (1 handed with smaller fuel tank, looted) - 'Eavy Armor -Mek Toolz -Kustom Force Field (Effect can be pretty much anything GM decides, it'z Orky tekh afta all) Both of my 40ksonas get a go this time.
Good friend, I know of Yriel, from her humble beginnings as an eventually blue-haired ex-Guardswoman to the witch who flirted with Echidna so much that the Slaaneshi Chosen got uncomfortable. Also. Go Monty. Go Monty, and fight for Se'hen and their many babies!
