Tai Shen was born and raised on the Chinese streets, raised by the gang that killed his parents. When he learned of this truth, he renounced his life of crime and was given a full pardon after making a name as a vigilante hero nicknamed "Ace" by the Chinese police force for his extensive knowledge of crime networks and gang fighting styles.
One of the names he often heard during his criminal time was "Damian Ratsbane". When Ace learned that the Big Boss himself was connected to this tournament, he decided to follow up on the lead by joining the event to investigate and ultimately bring down the crime lord.
Ace has a unique ability that allows him to adapt in a short amount of time, studying his opponent's moves and copying them almost as perfect as the original. His renounced fighting abilities earned him a large dragon tattoo across his torso symbolizing his fighting spirit.

Akinokaze, or Kino to his friends, is an Incubus and protector. He loves nothing more than spending time with friends and loved ones and having fun with them [often just being a goof.] Many would question how an Incubus could become a protector but it's simple, in his childhood he was bullied and hated by many for his Cubi heritage. His past of adversity has lead him to be a deeply compassionate being and rather than prey upon others he fights to protect them. He still bares scars from his childhood however as hecannot heal injuries prior to manifesting his power in adulthood.
Prior to coming into his full heritage he trained extensively in Taekwondo and the use of the Tonfa. Through survival training and his natural abilities he can acclimate to just about any environment though he is better suited to the cold and heat.

Owner: Starringer Arcoreas' history is not a happy one, even counting only the parts that he remembers. As a young demon, newly appointed to his own domain, his realm was invaded. The vampiric demon assaulted Arcoraes and left a mark upon him. Arcoreas began to succumb, as the other victims of the demon had, his very lifeforce being drained away, leaving him cold on death’s door. Rather than go quietly, he adapted, evolved, and found ways to drain the life force of other beings to keep himself from withering away, becoming a demon of ice and cold. Although he has removed the mark that drained him perpetually, his abilities have put him in the sights of even greater entities. The icy demon refuses to ever be in bondage to any being ever again, and now works to empower and strengthen himself by any means necessary.

Owner: Fullbloodlion Jack is not the most powerful fighter out there by any means. Instead, he relies on wit and intelligence to defeat his opponent. Having grown up more or less on the streets, he needed to find a way to keep himself safe, so he has spent his entire life focusing on how to come out on top with someone stronger than he is.

Jessie Lockhart was trained in combat by the same female who owned him as a slave: Mistress Scarlett. Aside from teaching him the arts of being a proper slave and potential "mistress", Scarlett taught Jessie how to defend himself and effectively subdue his opponents of various sizes, strengths, and capabilities. After all, how else is a mistress going to get a hold of a new slave, especially if she knows they won't come willingly.
Jessie was acquired by her in this same manner and it was only a matter of time that he would learn the same techniques. Along with hand-to-hand martial arts like Judo, Tae-Kwon-Doe, and Karate, Scarlett also trained Jessie how to effectively use a whip and not just for punishing a slave. She trained him to use it offensively for quick strikes and and heavy lashes, to use it defensively for deflecting lunges and strikes, to use it to counter with throws and trips, and also to disarm opponents and even restrain them. Being the quick learning and dedicated student he was, Jessie didn't take long to master this style and even managed to beat his mistress in a fight and subdue her, making her his slave for a weekend until she turned the tables on him. Once he was ready, Mistress Scarlett handed him his own tazer whip or "Lightning Whip" as she liked to call it and now, a "mistress" of his own right, Jessie seeks lovers and slaves to play with and even a good fight to engage in.
Jessie has a habit of making a bet with his opponents that whoever lost would be the other's slave for a weekend. Jessie almost never loses, but sometimes one might suspect that when he does lose that he lost on purpose. This is usually the case if his opponent is a lovely, strong, and confident female or a hunky and powerful and alpha male. Even when he loses by simply being beaten by a better opponent, Jessie doesn't mind being a slave again. He very much enjoys being bound and gagged and at his captor's mercy. He'll even act like a "unwilling" captive and a damsel in distress to make it more exciting for him. But Jessie doesn't plan on losing this tournament. The prize and glory are just too appealing to him.
Lightning Whip: Jessie can perform a whip attack that disarms the opponent's weapon and paralyzes the target. Paralysis reduces Power and Speed by one stage (non-stacking).

Ligers are, of course, bred for their magical abilities. Kimor Knossos is no exception. He loves magic, but there is one part of it that he doesn't like. Escaping. When you're on stage, having been tied up by a nice, big, muscled guy, why would you ever want to escape? Kimor is by no means shy about his proclivity for being tied up, or his love of sexual pain. In fact, when he heard that the tournament was going to re-open, he knew that he had to take the opportunity. He had heard about the previous event and the....strange happenings surrounding it. Ending up as a trophy sounded delicious to him. Of course, that doesn't mean that he'll intentionally lose (moving up the chain as far as possible seems fun) it just means that he won't particularly mind it when he is finally encased in glass. His only disappointment is that he can't compete in the nude.
His weapon of choice is the Dice Flail. When he's not engaged in kinky activities (and, sometimes, even when he is), there's nothing that Kimor loves more than board games. Games and puzzles fascinate him, and that carries over into his personality and fighting style. He's certainly not above using magic to his advantage, either - practical magic is the best, in his opinion. Kimor isn't the type to use fireballs or ice balls or boring things like that, though. Instead, he prefers magic invoking the element of surprise and shock.
Magic Hat: When attacked, Kimor can dodge through a portal in his hat, appearing above the opponent to land an attack that ignores the target's Awareness. The frequency of this ability depends on the target's Speed (lower Speed allows more dodges).

Owner: Ayvee Kirsus the hawk is a drifter, and a shifter. He wanders the world, from city-to-city, culture-to-culture. Everywhere he goes, he observes. Learning to blend in. Assimilating his surroundings. His appetite for information is insatiable, and he is as likely to look for it in a library as he is a must-lousy crypt. Sometimes he stays at the same town for months, sometimes only days. Sometimes, it seems, he even cuts out of civilization completely. Once he feels that he knows enough, he moves on. But all of this is grapevine talk. The drifter mostly keeps to himself. Now his wanderings have brought him to a tournament. There’s nobody that quite knows what he’s after, and plenty who care to guess. Some folks say he is searching for the secret to immortal life. Others believe that he has already obtained it.
Morphing Weapon: Kirsus wields a black metallic substance that can change between the shape of a melee weapon that allows flinching attacks dealing a stacking damage over time effect, or a shield that blocks against ranged attacks or other weapons.

They are the only thing that holds her full fury in check and allows her to maintain control.

Redd was born into a long line of ranch hands, and is the current owner of an animal husbandry business. His success in the field is in no small part due to his unique venom; each manticore's stinger secretes venom with different effects, and Redd was blessed with the ability to send an organism's hormones into overdrive. He tends to be very laid-back and cool-headed, but also a total pervert who isn't opposed to using dirty tactics to sleep with whoever he wants, with a strong preference toward straight men. He doesn't have much trouble turning on the charm for those who don't need a sting to get in the sack, though, what with his sultry baritone Texas drawl and his silver tongue. With sex with semi-willing strangers and his animal breeding business seemingly his only interests, it's a bit of a surprise he bothered to enter Damian's tournament at all, but the manticore cowboy is happy to test his skills against others. Besides, imagine how much he'll get laid with a championship belt hanging around his waist.
Lust-steeped Venom: Redd can sting the opponent with a poison that causes a stacking damage over time effect and arouses the target, reducing Speed and Awareness by one stage (non-stacking).

Ex-captain of a Mercenary-hired army and then accepted General of said army, and far older than his aesthetics would let you know. He has the 'veteran' experience of weapon and hand to hand combat, yet is new and adapting to the magic aspect of fights. The large plated-scaled dragon generally comes off as cantankerous and harsh, always serious. He fights for nothing more than the security of home, food, and bed. His hooksword is his trademark weapon and he uses the blunt side of it to grab more than the blade to slash. He needed to test himself against new magic arts to see if his old-fashioned fighting skills still held up, hence him entering the tournament upon hearing of a few noted combatants and their occult abilities. Finding out later that Cyran entered the tournament only caused that scowl upon his habitual expression to grow deeper and finding him foolish for putting himself, a scrawny small fur, into a dangerous tournament. When asked why he wears barely anything, he'll usually respond with "You try finding something that would fit around me that would fit without tearing." Not that he minds the stares he gets either, as they usually come with their own rewards later.
Ironhide: Revonar is unaffected by any direct damage from signature abilities (but not effects), as well as environmental damage.

His entire culture revolves around a strong bond with nature, and his very fur is steeped in spiritual protection. As a young otter, he joined his nation's army.

Now that the prince is a general and the war is over, they are no longer needed on the front lines.

He tends to pull his punches to draw things out, or to gain a better understanding of his opponent. Fighting is also a way to understand a person’s feelings and thoughts he believes, you never truly know a person till you fight with them. The biggest reason he wanted to join this tournament is to get to know a more versatile set of furs.
Stance Change: Zero-pro can enter different fighting stances, raising another other attribute than Endurance by one stage.

A cobra that enjoys the dominance and power that comes with controlling others. His thrill comes from the reward of stalking and assaulting another's mentality until they eagerly serve him. Each conquest and victory only serves to further his desire for the next catch. Although he is one to prefer others to do the fighting, he himself is an able enough fighter. He is naturally quite fast and bases his attacks on speed rather than power, though he generally will depend on his hypnotic gaze to slowly lull his opponents into a position in which he can coil around them and work more of his hypnotic ability on their mind. His dream is a simple one, a desire to one day have a kingdom or territory set apart for himself with followers made loyal through his ability. He believes this is a simple and humble enough desire for a naga such as himself.
Hypnotic Daze: Zsisron can ensnare an opponent at range with his hypnotic stare, causing the target to become Dazed. Daze reduces Speed and Awareness by one stage (non-stacking).

In this post I would like to share my thoughts on how I balance signature abilities. Balance, in short, is about keeping all abilities on the same level while still allowing characters to be diverse and unique. It is a loose concept, but I still have a few principles I use when reviewing abilities:
The most important thing about a signature ability is that it should make people think about and consider how the ability affects the match. The way the combat system works is that it puts characters randomly at advantage or disadvantage and then the voters have to decide which character appear stronger, which makes the thrill of the game. However, if an ability is so powerful or so powerless that there's nothing left to consider then the design has failed.
Tip! If you're thinking about how to balance an ability, the key is to build your ability with a strength and a weakness.
When I review an ability, I consider:
• The number of effects. Generally, I try and limit all abilities to a maximum of three effects. An effect in this sense is something like reducing an attribute by one stage, so if you have an ability that reduces two stages worth of attributes and causes moderate damage that would be three effects.When you submit a character I will review the ability, and if you are unsatisfied with the final draft we can discuss it further.
• The strength of the effects also determine how much the ability is allowed to do. For instance, an effect that causes heavy damage is more powerful than an effect that causes moderate damage, so naturally you won't have as many effects if you have a higher damaging ability (or a very useful effect).
• The hardest kind of ability to design is the type I like to call "All or Nothing", which is an ability that settles the match in a single move like knocking out the opponent instantaneously. These abilities are bad because they don't leave any room for consideration, so when an ability like that is submitted I make the knock out depend on attributes so the character still is affected by the other combat elements (such as Kappa Kick, Fish Smash, etc).
• Powerful effects can be off-set by having a draw back, such as an attribute loss. Although this leans towards the "All or Nothing" design, it's different because the attribute loss can determine how many times a character could use the ability in advantageous or disadvantageous conditions.
Hey it's Grifter, I had a quick question regarding the stats in a situational stat.
ReplyDeleteI've gotten my drawings colored and I'll move them over to send them to you tonight the information I set up with my ability of water manipulation though is a 1 or 2 stage loss of Awareness depending on the amount of water available plus a 1 stage endurance loss (exhaustion from trying to catch me) and a add of 1 stage of power.
Since the Combat Awareness is situational 1 or 2 points loss will that count as 2 points regardless? If so I'll need to adjust it up. Shoot me an email and let me know if you can griffiewolf@gmail.com
Bogrim, I think it's unfair that Crocdragon89 has 3 entries in the tournament. I thought only 1 fighter per owner to join the tournament. He's like having 3 chances to win.
ReplyDeleteA lot of contesters have entered several characters (and some have entered more than three) because there was no restriction to the number of characters you could enter.
DeleteOther people have more than one character. He said it was allowed from the getgo. It was further allowed and encouraged when the cap was raised to 128.
DeleteWill you upload the version of Jack with the ball gag?
ReplyDeleteThe ball-gagged version of Jack will remain unique to the match and will not be posted here.
