Return to Aldrect, the Holy City

[* Seasonal Tournament: Winter

Postby Jaykobell » 12/18/2009 1:21 AM

It was this time of the year again. Bright, pure white snow was falling from the sky, and the wind was crispy and cold. The snow would crunch under the footsteps of passersby. Everyone was walking along the streets of Aldrect, scanning the shops and their items to find the perfect presents for their loved ones. It was a busy time of the year, despite the cold and the harsh conditions overall.

And you were one of them, walking along the sidewalk, checking those stores. But nothing seemed to catch your attention at all. The items were either over your budget, or they were simply not the kinds your friends and your family were looking for. It was getting dark and even colder, too. Was this going to be a wasted day for Christmas shopping...?

"You seem troubled, my friend."

Image

A man dressed in a long cloak walked towards you, his yellow scarf fluttering in the wind. There was a mysterious presence about him, but he seemed to be trustworthy, from the smile he had on his face. "Good evening," he greeted, revealing a hand for you to shake. "You seem to be looking for gifts, am I right? You can't seem to find the right one, however, am I right...? But I can help you find the perfect gift. If you would kindly follow me..." And without waiting for a response, he headed towards a fairly large dome not so far away from where you both were. Where was he taking you?

The dome looked like a battling arena. The sliding glass doors opened smoothly with a quiet "swish" as you both stepped inside. Immediately you noticed the difference in temperature, and you feel warm and comfortable again. You are first greeted by a long hall, which lead to a large room, much like a lobby. A large desk was at the front, but nobody seemed to be at the desk at the moment. Countless doors were located on the walls of the lobby, and behind the desk were stairs that were leading up to another floor.

The mysterious walked up to the desk and slipped behind it, greeting you again. "We usually work as a bank, or an insurance institution, during the year. But when seasonals come around, we like to do something... a little different," he explained, taking off his scarf and his cloak to reveal a plaided sleeve shirt and a regular pair of jeans. "I am known as Astrophel, and I am the one behind this event. Ah, what is this, you might be wondering? This is, in fact, a tournament. You will fight for the prizes... Here are the rules for you to read." He picked up a book, the cover made out of leather and the pages soft to the touch. He also put a form besides the book, along with a quill pen. The feather glowed with the colors of the rainbow, but the feather itself was silver in color.


[* Rules

* Please Roleplay your registration.
* This tournament defies the Displacement Rule. You may have your pet in two places at once, like the Breeding Area.
* You may enter only one (1) pet.
* The level range is levels 1 to 10, 1 and 10 included.
* It doesn't matter how many posts you have! Everyone can enter.
* We expect this to be fun! So please no whining. Unfortunately, not everyone can win, but everyone can have a bit of fun!
* You have to include, absolutely:
Code: Select all
-Your stats
-Your Traits (elements included)


[* Procedures

* This is an Elimination Tournament, with eight (8) fighters.
* The tournament will start once we have all eight (8) participants.
* You will be matched randomly. If you lose your battle, you lose the tournament; no second chance.
* Traits and elements are accepted, of course!
* You will be notified by PMs to tell you that your battle is up. If you do not reply in the lapse of three (3) days, at any point in any battle, you will automatically be disqualified.

[* Prizes

[* 1st - 1,oooKS + A Gift Shop Limited Edition Giftbox of your choice
Note: Every participant must PM me their choice of giftbox prior to the beginning of the tournament. This is to prevent winners to just choose whichever pet they want, if the tournament goes beyond the gift opening date. =3 When people buy them as boxes, they don't know what they're getting, so this is the same thing.
[* 2nd - 7ooKS + A Seasonal Shop Giftbox of your choice
Note: The same rule as [* 1st applies: you must PM me this choice as well.
[* 3rd - 5ooKS

4th - 4ooKS
5th - 35oKS
6th - 2ooKS
7th - 1ooKS
8th - 75KS


Now... Would you like to wish upon a star?

Dyugra looked around. Christmas was...bah. Full of love and hope and joy and everything he disliked. So when he heard of something which had to do with slaughter...well, okay, more fighting than slaughter, he had to check it out. Since this was also an official thing, mother had permitted him to enter and Hilal, that do-gooder, had had no way to stop him. Hah!

So this place looked less like a battlefield than he had wished, but a battle was a battle. He walked up to the desk. "Hey, you there. I'd like to enter this tournament." Dyugra skimmed over the rules. Oh, just great, the prizes were presents. Even more holiday stuff! Then again, mother would be probably pleased if he brought some of the stuff home and he only cared about the fight anyway... "Right, read the rules...I'd like either that Gift Shop Deluxe Box F or the Seasonal Shop Box 8." Whatever they were. "But I suppose I also send you a letter about that." Man, people these days made slaughter unnecessary difficult. "So anyway...I'm here."

So many strong people. Maybe, just maybe, one of them was tough enough. He only needed to find one.

Chariot held his proud head up high. His hooves clacked against the groud. He would enter this tournament. He didn't care about winning, really. He just care about scoping out the competition.

He walked up to the counter. Well, now, he couldn't write. What then? Ah, but there had to be someone with both thumbs and a pen around somewhere. He'd dictate to them. Then they'd fill out his statistics...

Stats:

Level: 6
Element: Unknown (none)
Toughness: 17
Exploration: 16
Endurance: 17
Intelligence: 11
Battle Traits:  Battle Hardened, Battlefield Inspiration, Subduing Strike, Frightful Moan, Diehard

Wait, something about presents, too? Hmm. He didn't care so much for those. But if he have to...

"I'd like... either Deluxe Gift Box F or Regular Gift Box 16, please."

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!

I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!

Pyris had dragged him here, she had.  Of course, he was curious about this Winter Tournament.  He'd heard the whispers of others in Evelon that it would be great, so he'd allowed the deranged woman to bring him.  Stepping up to the counter, he nodded to the one behind it.  "I'd like to register for the tournament.  Here's my information," he states simply, pushing a piece of paper across the flat surface.

This was it. This was where he was to put his skills to the test. The Kuchi Nagi stopped outside of the dome, looking it over with steady, serious eyes. He was ready, he knew he was. Daishou had been preparing for a moment like this for years and now he was ready. With a deep, steady breath, he approached the registry, handing in his papers to join this battle. Daishou had a confident air about him, but by no means was he arrogant. He knew there was a great chance that he would not survive this. But that did not mean he was going to give up without a fight. Daishou would go down fighting, or die trying. All his information filled out and ready, Daishou stood ready to enter... and ready to fight.

Look into my eyes you'll see
A graveyard filled with dirt and defeat

Look into my eyes you'll see
The weight on my soul

Where the fallen angels sleep
The crooked hearts and the crossroads meet

Where the haters say my name
And carve it in stone

I'm gonna dig six feet up tonight

I'm gonna get it all back
I'm gonna make a comeback this time

Led hated (HATED) the cold, which only made her in a more foul mood then usual. The only thing keeping her in check was... Moofius. She hated that cow more then anything else but... also had a healthy respect for the girl. Should she ever show weakness, well, it would be the last thing she did.

Moofius lead her "steed", Led, into the building.
"A tournament, hey?" She asked, "I'd love to win another tournament but Cynder is too strong and busy. My gallizar, Led, here seems to fit the strength parimeters."

FAME: 15
Passive Traits: Dash, Prehensile Tail
Battle Traits: Blinding Speed , Arterial Strike, Deft Opportunist, Great Rend


Moofius added all of Led's information to a sign up sheet while the gallizar looked at her potential opponents. Feh, weaklings, everyone.

"If we win... What do you think? How about... E? Yah If we win we want either Giftbox E or, second place Giftbox #14. What do you think, Led?"
The gallizar hissed, looking moody. Moofius patted her side, "Behave."

Everything seemed a bit... hazy currently. She didn't seem to know where she was or what she was doing. All of this almost seemed like a dream in truth. Apparently she was.. signing up for something. Everything seemed to be a lot higher than she remembered it as well. As if she was a young child again or something. What she didn't know was that she currently wasn't in her normal form. Actually, she didn't know anything about the form she was in right now. She would eventually fall asleep, wake up again, and not remember anything at all about what she had just done.

Was that... her name? She couldn't seem to even make out whatever name was scribbled down on to the piece of paper. Either way, she signed up for something.

(Crap post is crap, but you guys are way too fast for me to make something good for her to pop up here. xD;  Sorry for the edit. Forgot to add her name. >3<)

Corr was pretty stoked about being able to join a battle arena. They’d said there were a few requirements he’d had to pass before being allowed to join, and he’d just managed to slip by, by the skin of his teeth. He’d heard that another guy in the menagerie had entered one of these quite a while ago. He hadn’t gotten very far, and Corr was determined to get farther than he had (If only to gloat in his face). But that aside, he was pretty happy to finally have something to do. He’d been sitting idle for what felt like days now, and this would take his mind off the fact that he rarely got vacation time anymore. He grumbled under his breath as he slipped the piece of paper with the required information across a desk to a weird looking man manning it. He really needed a break.

I love adventurous tales like that. That uplifting feeling that comes from seeing unknown lands and the knowledge that you came across—nothing can replace it! It opens a path from which self-confidence, experience, and important friendships—from the sharing of life or death situations—are born! But hearing it just isn’t the same. I want to create my own magnificent story!

The tournament was now all ready to go. Surprisingly, he had gotten eight fighters in a single day, in a matter of hours! How incredibly surprising! Apparently those young guys were all itching to fight. Or maybe it was the prizes~ Heh heh.

Astrophel stepped away from the registration desk after lighting on the match-up board, showing the order of the battles. It was simple; the winner of the first round would battle the winner of the second round; and then the winner of the third round would battle the winner of the fourth round. Finally, the last two would fight for the big win.

Once that was done (no time to waste, nope), he directed six of the fighters to the rooms on the side. They could use a room for themselves as they waited for their turn to come around. Of course, he kept the first two that were to go out first. "Shieba's Dyuga and MillietheWarrior's Corr, if you would walk up the stairs and to the arena, please. And may the best win this first battle," he wished as he pointed to the stairs behind the registration desk; one staircase to the left, and one to the right.

The stairs lead to another floor. Upon opening the door at the top of the staircase, the challengers would stumble upon the arena. The dome was made out of glass, so you could see the sky, and the round shape of the arena allowed for spectators all around the battling field.

And may the fun begin.

Corr was super excited. He was very nearly bouncing where he stood, fur standing on end as his two tails swayed behind him. He wasn’t exactly sure who he was battling (Because he’d been too excited to stop and see what their name was) but he knew it was a Fellox. He’d never actually…met a Fellox before. This would be a new experience for him, both in the battle arena and in meeting new people. He couldn’t wait to get started. With a grin, he nearly bounced up the stairs (Managing not to trip, surprisingly) and into the arena, spinning in a small circle as he stared across the way, patiently (Or rather, not-so-patiently) waiting for his opponent to enter the ring.

Dyugra - Level 3, 14 posts
Element: Dark
Toughness: 15
Exploration: 11
Endurance: 7
Intelligence: 10
Battle Traits: Battle Hardened, Vorpal Strike, Shade, Spectral Strike

Dyugra walked into the arena. He had seen who his first opponent was - a Lucain who looked like he was quite good in battle and could take a lot of hits. And those wingblades would mean trouble. Oh, how they'd mean trouble! Really, it was just his luck that he didn't get some easy prey to toy with. But then again, Dyugra enjoyed fights, even if they put him at a disadvantage. And if he'd lose, he would blame his brother for stopping him from fighting more, meaning it would be his brother's fault if Dyugra came home without a present and mother would fuss all over him (okay, that wasn't desired at all) and Hilal would be in trouble. Maybe. Which meant Dyugra couldn't really lose.
Climbing up the last stairs, Dyugra calmly watched the Lucain who seemed rather excited, but Dyugra knew better than to underestimate his opponent. Oh yes, this would be an interesting battle indeed!

Now it was time to battle. Corr couldn’t quite believe he was getting a chance like this, but he was ready. He knew he must not look too intimidating with his girly colors and all that pink he had on his fur, but that was better for him; maybe the Fellox would underestimate it’s opponent. Corr imagined an imaginary whistle had blown on the match, and he immediately darted forward, paws flying over the arena floor. Why not start with a head on attack? Who was to say it was stupid (even though, in the back of his mind, Corr knew it probably was)? But he didn’t seem to mind; he was doing this for fun, and whatever happened, happened. As he reached the Fellox, he leapt, jaws open wide as he reached out with razor sharp claws, hoping to inflict a direct hit.
