Frequently Asked Questions:
Elaborate answers to the most common questions raised by this article.


Owner: Bogrim

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. 

Copycat: Once an opponent's signature ability has been used, Ace can perform an attack that deals moderate damage and duplicate the effect (but not the damage) of that ability.

Owner: Akinokaze

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.
 
Shapeshifting: Akinokaze can use his shape shifting ability to heal himself and temporarily increase his Endurance by two stages (non-stacking). Using this ability reduces Akinokaze's Awareness by one stage (stacking).

  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.

Glacial Reign: Upon entering combat, Acroreas creates a freezing temperature that deals environmental damage and reduces the Speed of all characters to low (1). Doesn't stack with Snowstorm, and grants immunity to damage caused by cold.

Worried about the fury of his boss, Atlas is determined to make his way in the tournament to help sponsor their beach.

Then all those single women will all come running to the beach - followed by the herd of sheep that we call guys."

Owner: Cyran

Small, quiet, and an adept martial artist/psionic mix. He's a wolger, a mix of a tiger and a wolf. Often viewed as a brand for such racial crossbreeding, his eyes have been known to be viewed as a Caste mark. Very socially reserved, however introspective and intelligent. Rarely has he ever had to fight that wasn't for survival, but this tournament gave him some motivation. To prove to Revonar that he didn't need him. Thus far since he had known the lecherous and patronizing dragon, he never once showed what he really could do in combat, nor revealing his psionic nature. His collapsible short sword staff mostly stays locked and used like a bo staff. Relying on making sure he strikes key weak points in opponents or find what his opponent is lacking is his strong point in combat, taking hits is not. He has a strange affinity to the cold and rain, the colder or if rain is present, his psionic abilities are stronger and easier to use.
In a fight, he'd more than likely just casually state "I apologize in advance if I hurt you."

Drake is also extremely merinthophobic, which is the fear of being bound. He was recently kidnapped along with his brother by the devious Miss Veronica. Instead of simply making him another bondage prisoner like she did to his brother, she decided to use her powers combined with her technology to take full control of his mind. Why? She recently heard about a tournament held by Damian Ratsbane. Instead of entering herself, she took over drake's mind and body and entered him into the tournament. Knowing what might happen to him if he lost, she figured that whether drake wins or loses, she'll win regardless. Her prize? Shear amusement and entertainment at Drake's unwilling expense.

Owner: Escafanatic421

Whimsical and flirtatious, this ancient, seven-tailed kitsune joins the tournament for a variety of reasons.  The first is reaching the next stage of a kitsune's life: an eighth tail.  Like all fox demons, emotion fuels Esca's power in an incubus-like fashion, and the chance to tap into the potential of thousands of excited viewers would be foolish to miss.  He's also heard rumors that the founder of the tournament possesses a powerful artifact that is too dangerous in the hands of so "young" an individual and needs to be placed in safe keeping.  Along with these prominent goals, Esca also holds onto the hope that perhaps a romantic partner can be found amongst the contestants.  Thousands of years is a long time to be alone, after all . . .

Esca employs cunning and illusion-based magic in combat, using his ki to craft his masterpieces.  In return for the audience's support, his illusions will make each bout more entertaining than the highest budget film.  Age has made him calculating, but not incapable of fun and showmanship.  With any luck this contest will be the greatest accomplishment of his life!

Artist's Hand: Summoning a brush of pure spiritual energy, Esca can paint illusions that tricks the enemy. If the opponent's Awareness is equal, Esca's Power is raised by one stage. If the opponent's Awareness is lower, Esca's Power is raised by two stages.

 Owner: Fe5ter

Once content with being a sly, small-time street performer, ‘Fe5ter’ grew bored with his lifestyle and now aims to hit it big in the spotlights. As far as the opossum is concerned, this tournament is the perfect opportunity to show off a few knife tricks and net a sponsorship in the process. And hey, if he makes a few friends or enemies in the process, so much the better.

Don’t let his cute appearance fool you - he’s had plenty of time under the wing of retired mercenaries and the like. If you have a weak spot, he’ll find it. With a knife (and possibly an apology). 

Fe5ter can be remarkably honorable… after a foe is defeated, that is. Don’t be surprised if he bends the rules a little during tight spots.

Preemptive Strike: Fe5ter can throw knives at the opponent's legs, dealing heavy damage and lowering Speed by two stages. Characters with high Awareness (3) can catch a blade to gain a weapon and only have Speed reduced by one stage instead.

Felix loves his friends and likes making people laugh, sometimes by tying up and tickling them. He's very kinky. Oh, yes.

After noticing the disappearance of the fighters in that mouse scientist's tournament, Fury decided to investigate the next tournament that seemed similar. Despite his protests, his mate Larkir also joined.

Like all badgers, Gado is gruff, tough, and stubborn. He'll take all comers and do anything to win be they large or small. He uses his low center of gravity and grappling skills to wrestle his opponents in to submission. When grappling runs short his barrel sized paws lined with razor sharp claws will make short work of anyone's chances of victory. Within his back pocket is a length of rope with 500lbs of pressure, his knowledge of the art of hojujutsu will give him the edge in close combat. Needless to say if the badger gets close badger does what badger wants.

Wrestle: When in close combat, Gado can lock his opponent in wrestling, reducing the target's Speed to low (1) and preventing the target from dodging.

Owner: Galen

Born and raised in a culture that praises the strength and skills of the warrior caste which Galen belongs to. This young lion has made a name for himself in his community as the Captain of the Guard of Mel'Andrea, his home town. His brutal strength is well known throughout the region and more than one opponent of faraway lands has bitten the dust, defeated by his blunt strength, demolishing blows and his knowledge in the Arts of War.

Despite the size of his body, he can surprise many with the speed he can move at and how he can leave the enemy knocked out in a matter of seconds, even managing to match the reflexes of much smaller and apparently more agile opponents. Thanks to his colossal physical build and the long and harsh training sessions of Master Zhal, his muscles can deal truly destructive blows, and it motivates him to put his body to the test in every fight, allowing his opponents to grow overconfident so he may counterattack.

Arts of War: Galen can strategize a potent attack that deals heavy damage and has a chance to knock out the opponent. The chance depends on the target's Power and Endurance (lower stages than Galen's heightens the chance).

Owner: Ishiga-san

A firebrand in every sense of the word, the tiger has an affinity to fire unmatched by any normal being. Though he seems unremarkable at first aside from the unusual color of his fur, his soul is that of a djinn, allowing him to harness flames like none other. Though his power is formidable, so is his temper, despite his rather effeminate demeanor. In times of duress he's quick to burn himself out on single-minded pursuits. His tournament drive is simply something to exert himself on so he doesn't go stir-crazy any longer.

An enigmatic being if observed in an objective light. He has another worldly aura about him that few can pin down.

Owner: Iudicium86

Iudicium is a born and bred fighter, coming from a long family line of Knights Templar. Trained in combat since childhood to uphold the family honor and carry knightly duties in family tradition. Each Templar Family favors a particular fighting discipline, with Iudi’s Tiger lineage favoring an efficient and tactical style, even going as far as the family breeding in bigger than normal tails for balance during combat and special operations.  Favoring technique and tactics, he doesn’t hit very hard or swing with much power, instead he is able to learn, adapt, and exploit the enemy utilizing weaknesses in their own technique, stature, or even analyzing and using the environment to his advantage including being able to make and use makeshift weaponry. Very few of his battles are won by overpowering this opponent, but rather striking with precise and controlled blows in targeted areas to achieve various desired results from disarming, breaking limbs, knocking out, or even terminating. 

Tactical Analysis: Iudicium can utilize the environment to his advantage, causing terrain penalties to raise his attributes instead of decrease them. If there is environmental damage, Iudicium's Power is also raised by one stage.

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. A lot of his knowledge comes from books, studying how criminals and spies use their wits and surroundings to defeat their foes. The rest of his knowledge comes from studying how others work and think, as well as trial and error. Over the years he has gained the experience needed to keep himself relatively safe in almost any situation, even ones where his foe could easily overpower him.

Intimidate: Upon direct eye contact, Jack can scare his opponent with a hypnotic gaze, temporarily reducing Awareness to zero. While "unaware", the target cannot dodge any hits. Intimidate loses effect for each subsequent use.

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).

Kalahi, being the dragon/wolf mix that she is, has wandered the deserts and lands for many years, learning different magic abilities. Having never fully practiced them on anyone, she decided to give them her all in Damian's Tournament.

If her magic is nullified at all, she can still use her fire breathing capabilities, unless she is gagged or something, of course.

Kaliak is the product of magical bioengineering from centuries past.  He once fought alongside humans in a war that sought to undo reality and open the gates of Hell, but once the war was over there was nothing left for him to fight.  He now travels the world as a warrior for hire trying to eke out a living for himself and aid those he has come to love during his travels.  He hopes this tournament might provide him with needed income and distraction in this new land he has stumbled into.

Despite not possessing any super powers, Kappa is still a strong and agile combatant. He's world-renowned for exemplifying impressive fighting techniques during battles, the most dangerous of which is the famous "Kappa Kick". Since his early childhood, he has trained with numerous masters of martial arts, acquiring proficiency in a long list of fighting styles such as Taekwondo, Karate, Jeet Kune Do, Hapkido, and Krav Maga, as well as both Japanese and American styles of Kickboxing.

Though his mastery of differing fighting methods is certainly an advantage, Kappa's real power originates from his keen ability to assess his opponents' strengths and weaknesses. While most fighters tend to focus exclusively on brute force and stamina, Kappa's high attributes of speed and awareness allow him to effectively maneuver against more powerful foes. When combined, these characteristics are especially beneficial during close combat.

Kappa Kick: A powerful kick attack that deals moderate damage and pushes the target back. Also has a chance to knock out the target. The chance depends on the target's Awareness and Speed (lower stages than Kappa's heightens the chance).

Owner: Kimor

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).

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.

The daughter of a high senator, she was rejected from her overly pious birth state once they saw her sapping the life accidentally from a blade of grass, mistaking this to be the work against their god, and a dark necromancer. It wasn't until later she met her first of a Lycan, Shiyou, who happened to figure out some nature to her skill and help develop it and help her learn some self defense, thus creating a mentor/student bond with a hidden infatuation underlying. She's a quiet, modest and sheepish girl who puts on a difficult smile if it'll help the situation while her loneliness often got the better of her. Up to recently, she finally felt she had a friend in Shiyou who was distancing himself for reasons unknown to her, her views on herself as unattractive or undesirable when it comes to romance left her trying to at least keep that one friend. As he left without a word, she followed to figure out why. Upon finding about Damien's tournament, she had a bad feeling and felt she needed to be closer to him to at least hear some form of parting words or explanation as irrational as it may of been on her end. Telling herself maybe that if she proved she was strong enough as well, he wouldn't keep distancing himself. Her fighting is very raw and untrained, but with her overcompensating innate skill, a simple thrust of her hand has puissant effect, a mistake made can be made up for with natural healing to try again and again. She is competing for nothing more than hating that feeling of being alone and to show Shiyou she's not useless.

This extraterritorial is a captive/test subject of Mize after Egad's tournament and was kept secret to his friend at the time. Back when Mize was working on the early stages of his newly improved teleportation device to reach destinations that would've take days, weeks or years to reach. On one stormy night, Mize dozed off during one of his late night research that accidentally spilt coffee on the control panel at exactly the same time a lighting bolt strikes the fuse box hits which short circuit the device that somehowmanage overcharged it to produce enough energy to successfully traverse things back and forth to into other destination of the world and much more... the far reaches of space.

While sending out robotic drones throughout the solar system, one of his drones streamed a live recordings and footage of an unknown extraterritorial before it was crushed repeatably by its arm. From what was obtained the footage, the being displayed a lot aggression when provoked and posses great strength and speed for something its size (its like 4ft). The markings on his arm displays colors of his mood but has the mindset of early man (like a neanderthal) which could mean this creature is still in the early stage of its race evolution. Mize manage to trap the being easily and teleport it back to his lab and performed many inhumane tests.

There he discovered many interesting things about the creature like that its capable to survive underwater and withstand the pressure depths for long periods of time, manages to float in the air and propel through currents thanks to it its those wing-like appendages that acts as its natural thrusters, uses its arms to easily crush open shells of its prey or rocks to make its home, has a symbiotic tapeworm-like parasite that acts as its immune system, its tentacles are use to lash at predators and to examine things like holes or crevasses to snag prey. Eventually after a week since its capture Mize decided to called it Norug-gul due to it Lovecraftian appearance and that he got the name after running out a Ragu sauce for his pasta dinner that night.

After nearly a year of successfully manage to control the creature Mize finally reveals the alien to his boss Damien and his friend Egad, who both also helped fund Mize's research, after inviting em to his laboratory for a demonstration of the extraterritorial's capabilities. As Mize, Damien, and Egad make their way to the extraterritorial, Damien soon notices his magical ring seem to slowly become unresponsive as if some unseen force is affecting it but he didn't let that bother him and still continues to spectate the creature display its raw strength and deadly speed on some unfortunate drones. As demonstration come to a close Damien put Mize's request to have the creature displayed in any of upcoming events into consideration. As Egad and himself make there makes their way out the laboratory Damien's ring started functioning again this gave the big rat an idea as he's figured out it how its potential will prove to be of use for his upcoming tournament.

Dead Zone: Norug-gul can create an area on the ground in which disables the opponent's signature ability when standing in it.

Owner: OnyxTanuki

Onyx runs a company that specializes in sexual health products, such as contraceptives, lubes, and sex toys, mostly due to a scholarly interest in sex and sexuality. He doesn't see himself as much of a fighter, but if he gets it set in his head to do something, he's bullheaded enough to fight tooth and claw to achieve it, even when it's an altogether impossible task. He doesn't easily forget his loyalties, has a very strong sense of justice, and does his best to be a stand-up guy in spite of the world's tendency to reward duplicity. This doesn't mean he's a white knight though; he prefers to let others handle their own affairs rather than let himself get dragged into it. He recently heard rumors about the mysterious stone in Damian's ring, and not knowing the extent of its corrupt power, hopes to convince the rat to let him have a sample for analysis and to use the information he gleans to further his business.
 
Dark Druidism: Tapping into the arcane  power of his bloodline, Onyx can create thorny vines from any sort of earth or wood. The vines are stationary, can attack an opponent and defend Onyx while he stands in them.

Owner: Electrocat

Electrocat toiled for years in the Furaffinity art mines, trying to meet the demand of the worst freeloading fanboys ever seen in history. After one particular assault upon the English language to the tune of “C@n 1 h@z fr33 @rt5?” she reached her limits and snapped transforming into the beast known as Predator.

Though the transformation increased her size and strength it robbed her of her eyesight, however through concentration she can use her new demonic senses to give her an awareness far above that of most people but it takes it's toll on her by slowing her movements and acting as a constant strain.

She can be seen wearing broken shackles, you'd be forgiven for thinking that these came from her time in the mines but they are actually a projection of the breaking of her restraint that caused the transformation. They are the only thing that holds her full fury in check and allows her to maintain control.

Owner: Onyxtanuki

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.

Owner: Cyran

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.

Thorn is a sentient computer virus able to manifest in physical form in the “real world”. Thorn was created when a computer virus infected an advanced A.I. program roughly 3 years ago. Being a creature made entirely of data, he is able to change his form to some degree - although extreme transformations may interfere with his vital processes, so he does not attempt them. His most common modification is simply hiding his genitals – a trick which can be disabled by a skilled hacker. He loves mischief and makes a habit of infecting systems and people for no particular reason; it is simply his function as a virus and a way to stave off boredom. Often he experiments with different ways of screwing up a conquered computer or dominated victim. For Thorn, the tournament is just the latest opportunity to try something new and exciting.

One night after being pulled by a mysterious stranger Tokky awoke tied to a chair in a dark room with shadowed figures around him and a head braid on him that blocked his psi-wedgie ability. The figures had selected the hyox for a top secret experiment which utilised the injection of experimental organic nanobots to enhance physiology and rewire a subjects brain to make them a top class fighter.

They wanted to test the nanobots by injecting them into a subject with no fighting skills and enter them into a tournament to study their effects. Seeing as the only other option was him lying face down in a shallow grave the hyox agreed. Upon injection Tokky noticed an immediate increase in his strength and speed, as well as being able to master combat moves and tactics he never dreamed he would learn. Before being sent to the tournament the hyox was presented with two razor sharp gauntlet blades to use as a weapon and assured that no matter what the outcome was the nanobots would be deactivated and his memory wiped.

Yamato Iouko is an esteemed lightning mage who has made a career out of law enforcement using his prolific gifts.  Aware of the disappearances in the last event of this kind, he has taken it upon himself to investigate the tournament outside of proper channels, going so far as to risk his safety by entering directly.  His preferred style of combat is straight forward, combining his lightning spells and brutal punches to quickly overwhelm his opponents from a variety of distances.  As well, his intellect allows him more tactical options if “the direct approach” is less than successful.

Inazuma Kick: Yamato jumps then makes a dive kick at his enemy, which discharges electricity causing moderate damage and Paralysis. Paralysis reduces Power and Speed by one stage (non-stacking).

Zeke is a pretty happy go lucky dragon that enjoys spending time with people. On the flip side he can be very eccentric, extreemly clingy and inability to understand personal boundaries. While he prefers to go out and meet people, there are times where he just wants to try a change of pace in things. While he was getting coffee he noticed the paper had information on a tournament. Of course this appealed to him on various levels. Not only could he meet people, but he could also take a crack on seeing how well he could fight. Pretty hyped up he goes to join it in order to try a different hand at meeting people and having a nice test of his abilities along the way.

Arial Acrobatics: Zeke can fly up in the air and use his Speed to make his attacks stronger, making his Power equal to his Speed and lowering the opponent's Awareness by one stage.

Owner: Zennikens

Brilliant but lazy, Zennikens entered the tournament after hearing his close friend Gado was entering but also out of sheer boredom, this wolf has nothing to loose!  Zennikens uses his wits to fight his way out of a situation, from fighting with his wolf like instincts, to using the environment around him for ideas. He'll even play dirty if he has to. 

Dirty Trick: A cheap shot that causes heavy damage. Dirty Trick pisses the target off, increasing the target's Power by one stage and lowering Awareness by one stage.

Owner: Zeroblinddragon

Zero used to be a normal dragon with a normal life, until he got kidnapped one day. Following this fatal day, inside an unknown laboratory, he underwent painful transformations that progressively made him closer to machine. However, while the scientists who captured him were testing the new drilling feature of Zero's brand-new mecha-tail, he managed to escape. Unfortunately, Zero left many of his memories behind in the lab that nearly took his life. He did not have the courage to look back at his past and instead, took advantage of his new mechanic features to start a new life. He entered the tournament in hopes to raise enough money to find the thing that gives him the will to continue to live : his boyfriend. Little did he know that his kidnappers are behind the tournament that he is currently participating... 

Tail Drill: Zero can perform a drill attack with his tail that raises Power by two stages (non-stacking) and ignores any defensive ability effects.  Each Tail Drill attack reduces Zero's Endurance by one stage (stacking).

Owner: Zero-pro
Artist: Cyran

To Zero-pro, fighting is a pointless when it is without a good reason, doing it for fun was a bit of a different story though. He has gone to countless competitions, earned his Black Belt at the age of twelve and is now attempting to become a 13 Degree Black Belt (age 19). But his problem is finishing his opponent, dying by his hands or someone else is a pointless way to gain something. He believes there is equivalent exchange, but when you take something more valuable for lesser value, it will come back later to haunt you. His fighting style is known as wushu, a uncommon and disliked stance, most say it is to open, he says it’s just right. 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.

Owner: Zsisron

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).

Ability Balance

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.

•  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.
When you submit a character I will review the ability, and if you are unsatisfied with the final draft we can discuss it further.

  1. Hey it's Grifter, I had a quick question regarding the stats in a situational stat.

    I'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

  2. 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.

    1. A 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.

    2. Other 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.
