Roleplay:Trials of Conquest

The Trials of Conquest is a large battle arena constructed entirely of glass and marble; this is one of the main coliseums constructed in order to test the powers and finesse of this generation's greatest warriors. The coliseum was constructed years ago as a training ground for athletes, but after Saizo's refurbishment, it is now what it stands for today; an arena where the strongest of warriors come to prove their strength to the world.

Restriction Notice (Please read first)
There are sveeral restrictions on characters in terms of abilities and such and, in which case, they will be denied to participate in the Trials of Conquest. These include, but are not limited to;


 * Invincible or invulnerable; characters who cannot die, take damage or otherwise have an absolute passive defense will be denied entrance into the Trials of Conquest. This also includes higher forms such as Super Forms.
 * Characters that have instant kill abilities or techniques with no drawbacks or virtually uncountable drawbacks will be denied into this RP.
 * Characters who can do, quite literally, anything and everything will be denied into the RP.
 * Users who have an extensive history with godmodding may be denied entrance into the Trials of Conquest.
 * Characters who have no or very little abilities at the time of a match' creation will have those abilities; this also means that any characters who have no listed abilities will have none whatsoever. However, if a character has no abilities I will be asking the character's author about any abilities, if any exist. If they refuse to divulge information, they will either be removed from the match or the match will continue but with no abilities; in the latter case, if any abilities are used in the match, you will be removed from the roleplay and suspended for a certain amount of time if not indefinitely.

Info, Rules and Regulations (Please read this as well)
A user must first post his character under the Starters section of the fighter's list. Their character must also have a page on this site as reference for various things. They can then post in the Lobby, requesting a certain match, either against an NPC or User. If it is against an NPC, an NPC will be generated according to the skill level chosen (see Skill Levels). If a User is chosen, both participants must accept the match; this can be done through your own Talk Pages, blogs, or in the Lounge section.

All matches are watched over by me (Guyviroth), and all questions or complaints from any parties must be told to me as to avoid any User/User conflicts. There is no strict rules against godmodding or powerplaying, although extensive use will result in penalized points, premature ends to battles or, in severe cases, ban from this roleplay.

The aim of each match is to kill or otherwise incapacitate your opponent to which they concede the fight; this will result in a victory. However, please note that the overall objective is not to win but to develope your skills as a roleplayer, although winning is a bonus. When a character is killed, don't worry; On hand Dragon Clan priests will be there to ressurect you after the match.

Each match is determined on seven categories; Offensive, Defensive, Damage, Strategy, Style, Etiquette and Victory. Offense is the amount of time you spend on the offensive; Defensive is the amount of time you spend defending; Damage is the amount of damage you deal and take; Strategy is the actions you perform in a post to determine your tactics; Style is the length of your posts and the amount of detail in them; Etiquette is the amount of good sportsmanship in your posts such as taking hits, not godmodding, not making up stuff on the spot etc; and Victory is granted if you win.

Each category gives a maximum amount of 200 points, except for Victory which gives a fixed amount of 300 points. However, too much defensive, damage taken and bad etiquette will result in loss of points instead of a gain in points. A maximum amount of 1500 points can be gained per fight.

As you gain more points, you will raise in rank; the higher your rank, the more it shows as a value of your experience as a roleplayer. The ranks are Starter, Amateur, Beginner, Trainee, Practicioner, Advanced, Experienced, Veteran, Artisan, Master, and God. These ranks need a certain amount of points as well as evidence of improved roleplay skills.

There will be no talkplaying on either this pages sections (except for the Lounge) or this RP's discussion page; doing so will result in penalized points or ban for a set duration of time. In relation to this, the discussion page will only be used for any questions one might have about this roleplay or anything in relation to this roleplay, as well as any complaints one may have.

No one is allowed to post in any fight sections apart from the contestants of that fight and me, in case there's a violation of rules or otherwise.

The lobby section must contain only a fighter signing up for a specific match; no talkplay or spam must be posted there.

The Lounge is the only section where talkplay is allowed; however, the top half of the lounge section will be cleared every 2 weeks on a Sunday evening.

When five or more finished battles are present, they will be removed from the Battleground section and archived on a seperate blog page for those to see.

A Character that is owned by one person can be used by another person if given permission; however, if the second party's character challenges the other character to a match, that second character must be controlled by the original creator.

Lobby
I'd like to sign up Krinkinko for Trained. Sonicfan919 21:55, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

"Hm? You must be quite confident," The receptionist, Trey the Mouse, span on his chair and took a small sheet from the cabinet and jotted down the name of the contender. "Newer people tend to start with Starter ranks, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Anyway, your opponent is called Kyris; a dragon trainee mage who specialized in the Fire school of magic. I'm sure you can figure out a weakness of his on your own. Your match will be up shortly."

I'd like to sign up Cielestra for Starter, please. I'll show you a sweet dream, next night...  22:58, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

"Ah, someone with a head on their shoulders," Trey remarked with a smirk. Kicking his feet off the desk he leaned down under it to grab a form, filling in Ciel's name. "Okay, your opponent is an Ice user, specializing in shaping vapour around him; weapons, armor, obstacles, you name it he does it. Anyway, your match should be up shortly."

Okay I

I'd like to sign up Krinkinko for begginer. I thin I've learned my lesson. Sonicfan919 21:51, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

"Obviously. Good fight though, but the outcome was kinda inevitable." trey wheeled his chair to one of the filing cabinets for another sheet of paper, again jotting down Krin's name. "It's the first time someone had come back after a beating, but it'd be wise to rest for a while before going. But anyway, your opponent is ... oh, a robot. Some old model called E-121 Phi. Not much to say except it apparently has copied some strong moves from previous opponents. Best strategy? Hit hard and fast. Your match should be up soon."

i would like to enter my charcter endac Dragonbane the Hedgehog--You versus me and my Dragons?...bring it! 15:17, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

I'd like to sign up Alasdair for a starter match, please."Like the wind, I'm here and gone again." 15:19, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Trey looks up to either combatant, but gives a sigh towards Dragonbane. "Sorry but, you'll need to have a character page before you can sign up. When you have one, you need to post under the Starters section". Trey then turned to Alasdair. "I see, then bare with me," trey said before wheeling backwards and grabbing a sheet from the desk nearby. "Okay... so your opponent is a young lion called Konan; he's a young warrior who you shouldn't have much trouble against. He wields a longsword that's nothing special. Anyways, your match should be up shortly."

Alasdair: *stern face* Bring it

Endac: ah got it, already got one though just gotta put it up

there done

Endac: lets do this

"Much better," Trey said with a smirk, grabbing a piece of paper from the desk and jotting things down. "But, you still haven't told me what kind of match you'd like.."

Endac: are you serious *facepalms*

riiiiiiiight, starter

"Should of read the rules and stuff before even coming here, my friend," Trey muttered, not particularly caring for the guy's attitude. "Okay well your opponent is a fox named Jerimiah; a country bumpkin who excels at physical strength. He's pretty quick for a guy of his stature, and it's said his grapples are deadly. With that said, your match should be up soon."

I'm back again ^^" While Ciel is taking a break, can I sign up Yuuki the Litemon for Starter? I'll show you a sweet dream,  next night...  18:22, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Yuuki: If Ciel can win a battle, then so can I!

Smash vs Gantt

 * The crowd cheers and the applaud revs after the previous fight. However, the next match is up. The announcer takes the stand, trusty microphone in hand, and begin to announce the next contender. "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to another exciting match here at the Trial of Conquest! Next up is, what we all are wishing for, a supreme match as it becomes Echidna vs Dragon; brawler vs swordsman! I introduce to you first, the Dragon Wave; the Black Knight, Gantt!"

As the crowd applauds, a tall dragon species mobian, cladded in heavy dark iron raiment steps forth; his sword was his most distinguishing feature; the blade is wide and thick with extremely sharp edges, and towered over his already large build; the sword's blade alone was about five feet tall. More astonishingly, he seemed to wield it over his shoulder almost effortlessly with one hand. He swung the sword around his body in a circle before planting it in the ground; being able to wield it like it was a katana stunned the crowd, creating an uproar of screams.

"And the challenger, the Blue Quake, Smash the Echidna!"

At the sound of his name, Smash jumped onto the ring, performing a flip in the air before landing inbounds. He took a few steps forward and took a look at his surroundings. The crowd was pretty excited. Smash felt almost like he was at the Blitz Pit all over again. Quickly, he turned his gaze to his opponent. ''This isn't the Blitz Pit..It's far more dangerous. He reminded himself. Never let your guard down, Smash. ''His gaze was focused on his enemy. He looked pretty tough. Judging by his heavy iron armor, he was probably a little slow. He could use that to his advantage. But he appeared to be able to wield the giant two handed sword with one hand only. It would be bad news if he got hit by that. Focus, Smash..He though.


 * Gantt seemingly glared at Smash in a fixating manner through the cross-shaped opening on his helm. He wasn't about to let someone like him get the best of him. As the match was called to start, Gantt quickly unsheathed the sword from the earth and ran, surprisingly, at a very quick speed as though he wasn't wearing the armor at all. As he got to a minimum distance from his opponent, approximately five feet away, he lashed out with his sword, aiming to cleave Smash in half with it.

Smash watched as he approached him. He was rather surprised at his speed, but kept focused on his enemy. He quickly sidestepped out of the way just in the nick of time, the blade just missed him. He took this as his chance to strike him with a blow, and threw a jab towards Gantt's side.


 * Gantt was well experienced in battle, and this kind of maneuver was no different than what he had seen before. With momentum, he spun around and, turning his sword on its flat edge, bashed Smash' hand away from his body, then came in with a horizontal strike to slice Smash in half at the waist.

Smash instinctivley jumped into the air to dodge, but the slash was quick, and just managed to hit the tip of his boot, causing him to lose his balance in mid-air and fall down face first. He held his hands under him and caught himself in a hand stand. He quickly pumped his arms and sprung himself back upwards, balling his fists together as he flipped and attempted to smash Gantt's head with both hands.


 * As soon as Smash had reared his arms backwards in commence of his next attack, Gantt lifted the sword up infront of him, in which Smash' fists collides with the flat edge of the sword. Gantt then pushed smash backwards with a hefty lunge of his sword, then thrusted the tip of his sword forwards to try and impale Smash.

Just as Smash was regaining his footing, he gasped as he saw the sword coming towards him. Without enough time to dodge, he tried to catch the sword by the edges of the blade. He just barely managed to succeed, slowing the sword down but it still struck him in his stomach, inflicting a good amount of damage to him but none too fatal. His gloves tore from the sharp edges cutting through them. Smash stepped back, his hands still on the sword with a good grip, He glared into Gantt's eyes before making his move. He was making a risky move. He slammed the sword's tip to the ground, and quickly ran up the blade a few steps before jumping at him, throwing a mighty punch towards his face.


 * It was a powerful blow, but that's what Gantt's armor was for, although it didn't do as much as what it was intended to do. The face of the helmet caved hin slightly, but it wasn't enough to cause a crushing impact on his own face. As soon as the punch was delivered. Gantt grasped his arm with one hand, and then grabbed Smash' face with the other, flinging him overhead and then smashing him into the ground with great force, then tossed him to one side several meters away. Reeling from the blow, he sluggishly grasped at the handle of his sword and pulled it from the ground, waiting for Smash to get up.

Smash tumbled a few feet away, then jumped to his feet. ''That could've ended better. He thought to himself as he faced his opponent. Still, atleast I know how strong his armor is now...This guy is tough. I need to think of a strategy...Going in for a frontal attack may cost me my life. Hmm..If I could somehow throw him off balance, that may give me the upper hand. The bigger they are, the harder they fall...the harder they hit, too. Gotta remember that.'' He changed his stance to a defensive position, observing Gantt's next move closely.


 * Gannt looked on at the now defensive-positioned Smash, but he merely relaxed a slight bit, then stood up straight. Holding his large sword to one side, the grasped thr handle with the other hand. In one swift and powerful swing, he struck the sword upwards. "Dragon Wave!" He bellowed; a pitch black wave of energy erupted from the blade of his weapon, traversing towards Smash at an accelerated rate. After the initial swing, he held the sword over his back, almost as though he was delaying a second attack.

Smash didn't waste another moment to leap to the side and roll out of the way. He somersaulted and jumped back to his feet, turning to face his enemy as he appearingly prepared another attack.


 * It wasn't obviously going to connect; a projectile at such distance wuld of been easily avoidable, but even though it wasn't successful, Gannt now knew what Smash' reaction time was like; from there he could judge the distance and how fast he'd have to swing to execute a direct hit, although it was too short into the match to get a 100% prediction. Gantt swung the sword over his head with both hands, smashing it into the ground, causing a powerful tremor as the earth began to crumble and crack in a straight line towards Smash. "Have some of my Tremor Edge!"

Smash lookred at the cracks coming towards him and gasped. The cracks went right between his legs and began to crumble. "C-crap!" He ran to the side to avoid the attack, but the ground crumbled under his foot, causing him to trip. Panicking, He pulled himself into a somersault and regained his footing. He ran a safe distance away from te crumbling ground and looked back at Gantt. "This isn't good. I've gotta get back onto the offensive!" He said to himself "But with him swinging that big sword around, I can't even get close! I need to think of a plan..." He thought about it quickly, never letting his eyes off of his opponent. Then it hit him. ''Wait..If I do that again..that seemed to damage him a bit before. In that case... ''A grin spread across his face. "Now it's my turn!" He charged towards Gantt, ready to give it all he's got.


 * Gantt looked on as Smash was losing his footing from the tremor. He didn't care though; he had already thought of a counter to Smash, because, in his opinion, he was a bit too predictable. He clammed his sword into the ground again as another quake erupted towards his opponent. "You won't escape your fate!"

Smash ran to the side of the crumbling ground, careful not to fall in, but not diverting his direction from Gantt. He ran up to him and threw a punch towards his chest, following up with a sweep kick.


 * It was somewhat tactical but lacking in finesse, Gantt thought. He grasped at Smash' fist as it came towards him and the sweep did nothing except bounce off of the thick armor. He soun around and threw Smash over his shoulder onto the ground behind him, following with an overhead slash from his huge sword; a hit would cut the echidna in half.

Smash landed on his back, wincing in pain. He looked up and saw the sword coming down towards him. Not wasting another second, He rolled to his right, just barely missing the sword. Now on his stomach, he pushed himself back to his feet. I gotta do something about that armor! He thought. ''Only something really powerful would penetrate that. If I don't, I'm just wearing myself out.'' He moved in quickly towards him while his sword was in the ground from the overhead slash, and threw a powerful uppercut towards his face, hoping to knock his helmet off.


 * Gantt didn't think his opponent would roll out of the way so quickly, especially after a heavy slam like that. With full force, the sword cleaved the earth, but was stuck in the ground. he tugged on it before making it move an inch, but not keeping check on his opponent, Smash ended up hitting Gantt right in the jaw. The impact caused Gantt to be sent flying backwards, but at the same time the sword was able to be pulled free, but at the cost of losing his helmet. Underneath could be seen a menacing black and purple dragon; a cyan jewel layed upon his forehead as a symbol of magical prowess, but exactly what element would he command? Stumbling to his feet, Gantt looked on, then simply threw a hand outwards; tendrils and coils of shadow raced towards Smash, threatening to pierce or entangle him.

"Yes!" He said to himself excitedly. His triumphant expression soon melted down. "Uh oh." He ran to his left, not wanting to get caught by the shadows. He managed to steer clear of most of the shadows, but one of them tripped his leg, right after another had sliced a bit of his back. He fell flat on his face. The cut on his back began to bleed. "Ugh..That hurt..." He stood up, looking over towards Gantt. I can't let myself stay down. He thought. ''Even though I got his helmet off, it won't mean anything if I can't hit him afterwards. Speaking of which, He didn't appear to be able to do that before...I know that jewel on his forehead enabled him to use those shadows, but perhaps his helmet was preventing him from using them before? I dunno, stay focused. Who knows what else he'll dish out?'' He got into a defensive stance.


 * Gantt smirked and withdrew his hand. Extending his sword to the side, he picked up his helmet with the point of the blade before bringing it to his other hand. replacing the helmet on his head, he held the sword forwards; runes began to glow a deep purple, with an equally colored veil eclipsing the whole blade. "Feel despair as you wither away!" Taking the sword high, Gantt swung it down to the ground; a wave of purple energy launched itself from the blade at a fairly fast velocity. "Corrosion!"

Dang, I probably should have gotten rid of that helmet first. He thought. He watched as he began to launch his attack, and then dodge-rolled out of the way as fast as he could. He rolled more than a safe distance away, and then got to his feet. Okay, I think I know what I need to do, but it's not gonna be easy. He thought again. Here goes nothing... He charged at Gantt and threw a quick punch towards him. He tensed up his leg muscles more than his arms, preparing for something else.


 * "Fool!" Gantt held up his sword, still brimming with a purple haze, blocking the punch with the side of the blade and then pushed Smash away. Gantt smirked under his helm; Smash' glove suffered from burns, with part of the material smoldering and turning to ash before flaking off onto the ground. "You're lucky you've got some protection. This Acherus Blade possesses the power to inflict corrosion to anything it touches, directly or indirectly. I wonder how you'll survive against this." Gantt took a step back, rearing his arms before tossing the blade like a boomerang.

Saizo vs Vice the Lynx
Vice walks into the arena, the entire crowd very silent, wearing nervous expressions the moment he has appeared. Vice looks around the crowd, smiling at them as though saying some kind of hidden message to them, one which seems to scare some members of the audience. Vice then turns his eyes toward his opponent.
 * The crowd seemed to be quite quiet all of a sudden. The announcer stood up, unsure of what to say. However, he looked up and held the mic to his mouth and spoke aloud. "Gentlemen, it seems that the next contestant wishes to challenge our sponsor to a match. It's unorthadox but he has decided to accept. I welcome you to our challenger, Vice the Lynx, and his opponent, Saizo Marushagan!"
 * Saizo stands, arms folded, looking down with his eyes closed as the audience gave off a slight cheer but mainly just blank stares; who would want to face Saizo in an open challenge? Was the guy just overconfident, being one of those guys who think they're all badass, or did the guy just wanna little sparring match? Either way, Saizo looked up at his opponent, noticing his coat. "Seems like long trenches are popular here." He unfolded his arms and walked towards his opponent slowly before stopping just several meters away. "My name is Saizo. And I will show you the extent of my power. Now, show me your strength."
 * Vice grins at Saizo, ammused by his strange character and his remark. "It would seem so, but long trenches do have their uses. Oh, and my name is Vice the Lynx." *He produces some kind of silver-colored weapon handle in his hand and pushes a black button on it, which produces a 3 meter long blade of electic blue light, a light hum emiting from the weapon. "Let's see what you can do" Vice gets into a modified horse stance while pointing his sword ar Saizo with both hands, getting ready to either attack or defend himself.
 * "Hmmm I see..." Saizo casually drew the sword from his pauldron; it was a rather long blade, roughly 8 feet from blade to handle, and about as cumbersome as a pen to him. He waved it around slowly and a full circular motion before resting it to his side. He then took out a small golden kunai and threw it towards Vice rather quick; it would be difficult to dodge, and seeing as it was aimed right at his forehead, a strike would mean an instant death.
 * VIce sees the kunai coming at him and ducks so it would miss him, almost scrapping his head. Vice then runs from Saizo and starts cutting up the ground and moves the two peices of ground upright, so they're standing up. He quckly hides behind them for cover and loads his pistol, waiting for Saizo to come after him.
 * "Behind you." A voice suddenly sprang from the rear; Saizo had used his Flying Thunder God technique to appear directly behind Vice by teleporting to the kunai flying over his head. Saizo immediately grabbed the kunai and aimed to drive it through the skull of Vice.
 * Vice hears Saizo's voice behind him (Thinking: Damn it!!) Vice quickly turns around and grabs Saizo's hand and tries to push the handle of the kunai into Saizo's head, and grabs his other hand so Saizo can't use his other hand. Vice then charges up an electrical charge in his body and prepares to discharge it into Saizo.
 * Saizo watches Vice carefully, almost smirking at the guy's sudden rush of adrenaline; perhaps he's never been so close to death like this before? Vice pushed at Saizo's hand but he merely applied the same amount of force, keeping the momentum neutral. Saizo then looked at Vice's other hand and did the same thing; he grasped at Vice's hand and, with a sudden jolt, spun Vice the other way whilst wrapping Vice's own arm around his throat, but not applying any choke hold, but gave him discomfort. "You're quite phenomenal; you might actually be a challenge... Maybe..."
 * Vice uses his free hand to quickly grab his pistol from his coat and point the gun behind him, shooting the weapon in where be believes his head is located, hoping he won't have time to move out of his line of fire and be forced to let go of him.
 * It was quite interesting this match, but even Saizo didn't seen this coming. The shot caught him right in the face, but instead of a cataclysmic bloodbath from the wound, all that could be heard was a slight *Kink*, but it caused Saizo to let go of Vice as he reeled backwards, holding the left side of his face. He removed his hand, but there was no blood; just a bullet hole in his mask and what appeared to be a black shell-like hide around his face. "Ah... well that wasn't expected. I shouldn't take you lightly." He dashed in, rather quickly, almost appearing right in front of Vice and took a horizontal slice at his midsection; the attack would surely cleave him in half.
 * Vice draws his other Beam Katana into hos other hand and puts the blads at both sides of his mid-section, blocking Saizo's attack. He then kicks Saizo with his right legs, sending him flying to the ground. Vice then dashes towards Saizo and jumps into the air, pointing the Beam Katana in his left hand downward whiel falling towards Saizo; the attack could end up impaling Saizo if Vice lands on top of him.
 * It seemed like this would be a good match, which was excellent considering the amount of downtime Saizo has had in terms of finding a worthy opponent. Saizo watched carefully, then as soon as Vice was about to drive the blade in, Saizo quickly rolled out of the way; his speed was amazing as well as his agility, being able to move with mere second left to dodge. As he rolled out of the way, he saw Vice's sword sink into the ground, then took the opportunity to make a slash of his sword at Vice's neck. If Vice stayed, the attack would behead him, but if he dodged he'd be fine, but that possibly meant relinquishing one of his swords.
 * Vice, knowing that he'd be beheaded if he stayed in his current position, pressed both buttons on his beam Katanas to sheath their blades and quickly rolled foward on the ground, barely dodging Saizo's attack. While rolling, Vice refused both his Beam Katana's into one weapon, and shot a bolt of lighting at Saizo as soon as he stopped rolling; the attack could seriously injure Saizo and breifly paralyze him, should the attack make contact with him and sent electricity throughout his body.
 * Saizo looked on and noticed the bolt of lightning towards him, so he quickly extended his left arm forwards, allowing it to be enveloped in the electricity, but began to use his own energy to control it; it caused little damage to the carapace on his arm, but he could feel his muscles being affected by it. Quickly, he began to mold it into an aura surrounding his hand, which began to crackle loudly due to the amount of energy in this amount of lightning. He looked at it, and then smirked. He dashed towards Vice, with his hand dragging across the ground as it began to tear the earth around it apart, demonstrating how powerful the attack is.
 * Vice quckly took out his pistol and jumped several dozen feet into the air. (Thinking: So that blue skin of his must act as a kind of armored hide... Well, I wonder how his human skin can handle my attacks?) Vice takes steady aim with his machine pistol and fires at the passing Saizo, hoping some of the bullets will hit his human skin before Saizo had time to dodge the bullets.
 * As Saizo sprinted across the ground, several bullets flew and made impact passed him and below him, but with no notice, he stood still and flickered; having left an afterimage behind him, Saizo was already above Vice, aiming to drive his hand, formed into a karate chop, through Vice's skull. "Lightning Release: Misogi." The Misogiken was a powerful attack in itself, so who knows what damage a lightning powered variation could achieve.
 * Vice, knowing that he ad no time to turn around and counter Saizo's attack, quickly forms an electrical barrier around his body and concentrated to keep the barrier intact from the oncoming force of Saizo's attack. However, the barrier will last only a few seconds, so Vice would have to act quickly in order to get away from Saizo, should the barrier succeed in protecting him from his attack.
 * Saizo instantaneously collided with the barrier, but its spherical shape caused the chop to be redirected slightly, missing Vice completely but also shattering the barrier. Saizo collided with the ground and, from the impact, created an enormous crater; chunks of earth of rock exploded from the point of impact and flew everywhere, while also a burst of lightning struck from the air and created a huge shockwave of electrical energy; anyone caught in it would of been paralyzed from the impact. Saizo slowly got up then turned to Vice. "Lucky break; don't think it'll work a second time."
 * "I'm far from what you would call a "typical" opponent, my friend. You're only beginning to learn what I'm capable of." Vice shoots a ball of electricity in the air, which then floats over to and hovers over Saizo. The ball then starts shooting minature bolts of electricity down towards Saizo, some of them coming right at him; The attack could paralyze various parts of Saizo's body should any of the bolts manage to hit him. However, Vice knew that the attack won't last forever and anyone who was fast could manage to dodge the bolts, so Vice begins to reload his gun and draw back out his Beam Katana and watches Saizo's next move carefully.
 * "Hm. No problem. Behold the power of science." Saizo seemed rather confident, and he had the right to be; he quickly sheathed the katana in his pauldron, then dug the tip of the sword into the ground and hid behind his pauldron, kneeling down; every lightning bolt that struck him his his pauldron, which then earthed the electricity through the katana. After the ball was done and dissipated, he stood up again, and smirked, drawing eight different kunai. "Well, my turn." Saizo burst at a high velocity, leaving behind a sharp bright flash of light, typically blinding anyone who was staring at it, and then laid all eight kunai around Vice in a circular formation before stopping at the first one. "So, show me what you've got."

Krinkinko vs Kyris

 * The crowd cheers and the applaud revs after the previous fight. However, the next match is up. The announcer takes the stand, trusty microphone in hand, and begin to announce the next contender. "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to another exciting match here at the Trial of Conquest! Next up is, what we all are wishing for, a supreme match as it becomes Hedgehog vs Dragon; brawler vs spellcaster! I introduce to you first, the Dragon's Flame, Kyris!"

As the crowd applauds, a tall dragon species mobian, donned in a garment of the finest threads; mostly red with darker highlights within the gown, the dragon was of a medium build, perhaps no more than 3'7''. He smiled to the crowd before igniting his fingers in flames, aiming to impress, with much success.''

"And the challenger, the Green Hedgehog, Krinkinko!"

Krinkinko:(Folds his arms)Let's get this party started.

Kyris smirked at the hedgehog, proccing a ball of flame from his hand. "Well, you don't seem much, spotty; let's see how well you dance." Kyris launched the small fireball towards Krin, arching it so it would hit his legs, aiming to disable them early.

Krinkinko:(Quickly dodge rolls out the way and runs towards Kyris with his Scythe in hand)

The dragon watched carefully, then as Krin got within a few meters, Kyris launched a quick spark of ember at the hedgehog, aiming to blind him.

(Krinkinko quickly spins his scythe in a propeller motion towards the ground then while he's in the air he uses

a spike dash at Kyris attempting to stab him with his quills)

Kyris smirked, as before Krin could hit him the dragon had teleported away, a few meters forwards behind the green mobian. "Gonna have to try harder," Kyris taunted, before throwing a ball of flame at the feet of Krin, which then expanded into a circle of flame around him as it burns everything in the circle.

Krinkinko:(Gets burnt)AAAH! This is going to be harder than I thought! (Krinkinko used sonic burst towards Kyris and threw a rage punch towards him)

The attack was quick. Too quick for Kyris to prepare for, taking the punch to the jaw before stumbling backwards, rolling ass over head before laying on his back. A hand on his chin, the dragon looked on in anger first, then smirked. "O spotty, so you can fight then?" Standing up, he held his hands together in front of him, while a large fireball began to form, almost looking like a meteor.

Krinkinko:(Krinkinko fired a small beam of rainbow energy at the fireball hoping to detonate it)

"Not such fast, my friend," Kyris muttered. As the beam neared, he again teleported, this time right in front of Krin before launching off the attac. "Have a taste of my Pyroblast!"

Krinkinko:I'll never give up! (Krinkinko made a leaf clone and the clone took the hit instead of him)

With the attack, the clones explodes in a shower of charred leaves and assh, with the embers of the attack burning away whatever was left of it. "Hm, not bad," Kyris stated, but began to charge another Pyroblast. "Let's see how quick on your feet you really are."

(Krinkinko coughed then quickly ran behind Kyris and threw another rage punch in an attempt to knock Kyris off his feet)

"Please, I'm not blind." Kyris sighed then trailed Krin's movements closely, as he got behind Kyris turned quickly, making Krin punch the Pyroblast, which then violently exploded outwards towards him. "You'll have to try better, my friend."

Krinkinko:(Falls back)Heh like this? (Just then a leaf clone thrust his scythe towards Kyris' back)

Kyris launched forwards with a grunt as the scythe pierced through the robe, but went no further. Instead of rending through flesh, it collided with something hard. "Well, getting there," Kyris turned and blasted away the clone in a torrent of flame, then turned back. "You see, conventional attacks don't matter much to me. But I won't divulge my secrets to someone like you. I wonder how much you can withstand." Again, Kyris created embers in his hands, but blasted them into streams of high intensity spouts of fire at Krin, enough to turn flesh to ash within only a few seconds.

Krinkinko:(Heart thudding)I'm going to give this my all! (Leaps up in the air) Final...(he gathers bio enrgy in both of his hands)..FLASH! (He brings both of his hands in front of him and launches the enrgy at Kyris at astounding speed)

Kyris smiles, and again teleports forwards, allowing the beam to pass right over his head as he charges a fireball before launching it straight up towards Krin. "You're much too slow for my liking..."

Krinkinko:Dang! (Throws his scythe at the fireball)

Kyris smirked as the density of the ball pushed away the scythe to one side, allowing it to fall to the ground some meters away from the two while the fireball collided with Krin, blasting him in the chest and sending him away back. "You've got a long way to go."

Krinkinko:(Takes the hit and rolls over)I-....give up...

Kyris stands and folds his arms, smirking, before walking away. "You shoulda stuck to the beginner levels first... or better yet, you should of stayed home." The crowd, however, applauded both characters, regardless of whatever outcome it could of been. Saizo stood from the stands, and also clapped. "Not bad, both of you," Saizo exclaimed to the combatants. "regardless of the short duration, the crowd's enjoyment is what matters here. I digress; let's see how well you did."

Offense: 110(Your offense was definitely strong, unrelenting in the assault. You dealt good damage as well, despite only the single attack working.)

Defense: 90 (You kept a strong defense near the beginning, but was rather lacking near the end.)

Damage: 70 (Your damage dealing was little, while damage taken far outweighed it.)

Style: 90 (Your posts were short, sometimes rather vague that left for some interpretation. However, what was posted was legible, so some credit is deserved.)

Strategy: 80 (Unfortunately the only strategy was the use of a couple of clones; not really enough to warrant a higher score.)

Etiquette: 60 (You allowed yourself to realise that the match was rather far beyond you; you didn't powerplay or godmod as I had, admittingly, expected. Only problem is that your Final Flash is not on your character's page at the time of match creation, which warranted in reduced points.)

Victory: 0(You didn't achieve victory, so no points scored.)

Total: 500 pts (An interesting match to say the least. You've gained much more points than I had initially anticipated. However, you can work on the length of your posts; try numerous actions at a time, perhaps read through the archived matches to get a good idea. Also, you can take into consideration on using your clones more diversively.)

Cielestra vs Cryo

 * It was no shock that the crowd continued to cheer; near enough every match they had seen had been such a spectacle that it was unavoidable to just enjoy them immensely. The commentator took to the stand to make his next speach. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you're ready for the next match!" The crowd's cheering ignited more, not relenting for several seconds at a time. "I give to you our next match! Ice against Ice, who is the better person? From the frozen north, I give you the Glacial Wolf, Cryo!"

The crowd cheered on as a bright white wolf, as pale as the snows of the northern continents themselves, step out. Hands frozen in gauntlets of ice, one could see the air around him crystalizing into small hailstones.

"And the challenges, the Ice Queen Cielestra!"

Cielestra stepped on, her attire was silver armour with a cyan cape. "I hope to be of a good opponent to you" she said to Cryo, forming an ice blade adorned with sapphires.

Cryo watched as she formed an ice blade, but laughed at the visage. "You waste your time making your weapon look fancy instead of making it better," the wolf, however, created long, three feet blades that extend from the back of the gloves, jutting forwards. "While I don't take things too lightly." The wolf sprinted forwards, dragging the blades across the earth, scarring them and leaving trails of ice.

Ciel created her magic seal, "Ice-make Lance." Several lances of ice burst out from the seal, aiming to either pierce through Cryo, or shatter the blades.

Cryo still pressed forwards, taking a couple of slashes from the lances across the side and leg, but at the same time went to pierce Ciel through the chest with a stab of one of his blades.

Her seal appeared again, a orb of ice formed in her hands as the seal disappeared, she then cast the orb into the air, "Ice-Make Shield!" An ice shield appeared infront of her, while she jumped back a bit, steading herself and raising her sword a bit, ready to attack.

"..." Cryo watched as the blade drove into the shield but the point of it stopping only several inches away from her chest. However, as Ciel was about to raise her weapon, Cryo began to manipulate the ice that made up the shield, absorbing it into the blade and quickly making it longer, the blade extending to pierce through her chest like before.

"Can your ice pierce through armour?" Ciel questioned, but she wasn't going to stay in the same spot to find out. She formed ice wings and flew back, she then casted another ice orb, "Rose Garden." Ice covered the floor, and ice roses rose from the iced floor, binding Cryo to the spot.

"... Pierce?" Cryo looked at his feet to find the roses of ice entangle him like vines. Only difference being that, like the shield, he touched them with his hands and began to absorb the ice into his gauntlets; this time sprouting a second blade on each hand, each four feet in length. "Pierce, slice, shatter or dismantle; no defense is too much for me." Cryo seemed confident in his abilities, but this time ice began to form at the tips of his fingers before firing them like bullets, pointing at the ends, towards Ciel.

Ciel was hit by several, a few cut through part of the armour on her left arm. "Damn..." Cryo was a good opponent for her; she could learn a lot from this battle. "I'm not giving up easily" she then stated to Cryo. "Ice Blades: Seven Swords Dance." Her ice blade she held in her hand split into two, one in each hand. Five more then formed around her, slashing at Cyro at rapid speed. Ciel then used her two blades to try and deal an extra attack to him.

Cryo tried to defend the best he could while backpeddling, but while his eyes were on the five whirling blades, he had forgot about the two in her hands; the two blades cut through his chest and side as he stumbled backwards, but maintained some footing on the ground. he looked up and held a single hand up to Ciel's body, launching the two four-foot blades at her to impale her, while they quicly grew back but at only half of their length.

Ciel flinched as one of the blades went through her armour, but she quickly moved one of her swords up and shattered the other one. She managed to keep standing after the attack.

Cryo smirked as one blade shattered while the other pierced through the armor, nudging sharply into her chest. "You'll not win so easily." Cryo kept pushing the blade through her, eventually puncturing a lung.

Ciel gasped in pain, and used an emergency teleport to distance herself from Cryo. She fell to one knee, a hand over where the blade went through her chest, which was bleeding. She found it hard to breathe, but she wouldn't give up. She staggered back to her feet, her two blades merging back into one.

"Hm, Like i'd let you." Cryo ran towards her, then hoisted his arm backwards and launched the remaining blade at her like a javelin, aiming to pierce her through the same wound as before.

Ciel's focus came back to her. She created an ice doll (clone) and quickly teleported, the blade shattering the doll into pieces. Ciel appeared behind Cryo, using the Seven Swords Dance technique again, but this time also using the Ice Lance as well in time with the swords.

Cryo managed to tumble forwards to avoid, before quickly getting to his feet and swinging his other arm behind him, aiming to slice through Ciel's blades and across her body, if not straight through it.

Ciel remembered about her ice wings. She moved one infront of her for protection, which shattered after. She jumped back again, but stumbled. ''Just.... one more idea left.... if this doesn't work... I'm finished. ''She thought. She then made two ice dolls. She used Ice-Make: Rose Garden again to bind Cryo to the ground. The first doll used Ice Lance, along with throwing an ice blade with them. The second, used Seven Swords Dance from behind Cryo.

Cryo was again bound, but he required time to absorb that ice; time which he didn't have. It was a last ditch effort, but he gathered as much frigid air around him before unleashing his more powerful attack. "Gah! Cryo Spine!" Numerous tendrils of ice erupted from his back in different directions; a few piercing the first doll and the weapons it launched, but the second doll was able to cut through the attack and seriously wound Cryo. However, three remaining tendrils were already heading towards Ciel, again threatening to impale through her body at different points.

Ciel had only enough energy to defend herself. Summoning her magic seal for what would seem the last time of this match, she cast Ice-Make Shield, a big one. She collapsed to her knees, the only hope of her winning being the shield infront of her.

The tendrils came and struck hard against the shield. However, the shield remained intact with only a few dents in the husk, while the tendrils themselves cracked under the force of its own weight, before crackling and shattering to pieces. Cryo, visibly struggling to even stand, let alone keep his powers in control, coughed blood after just letting his strength go, before slamming his fist into the ground. "Damn it... Damn it! DAMN IT!" Shaken from defeat, his sudden outburst drained whatever energy he had left, falling unconscious.

The crowd cheered immensely between the mirror match of ice powers. People in the higher crowds strew signs bearing Ciel's and Cryo's names to show their support. Saizo himself then rose from the seat, giving both of them applause, bearing his eyes upon Ciel, glad to know she had become strong. "Both of you put up a great fight. It's not often we get to see two people of the same skills face eachother, and I'm sure the crowd loved every last moment. Anyways, it;s time to see how well you did."

Offense: 120 (Your offense was good, plenty of attacking and rarely letting up.)

Defense: 80 (Your defense was there with the couple of instances of avoiding or reducing damage.)

Damage: 80 (The damage you dealt was on par with this kind of match, but you also took a lot of damage yourself.)

Style: 100 (Your posts were definitely of desired length and everyone was easy to follow and never vague or left open for interpretation.)

Strategy: 110 (Definitely what I like to see; it is only so little due to the length of the match.)

Etiquette: 30 (This is the difficult part... The good side being that you took hits and never tried to do something that your character obviously can't do at the moment. The bad news being that you added moves to your character after her match was made and used them; even though she is clearly an ice user, the rule still stands. It's because of this that I won't give you negative points, but instead award only a little.)

Victory: 300 (You won the match, so 300 points are yours.)

Total: 820 pts (Definitely impressive for your first match here. It's a shame about the moves that resulted in loss of points; without that problem you perhaps would of been promoted.)

Krinkino vs E-121 Phi
Thw crowd began to become much more lively; the newer matches were definitely standing out from the more recent ones. The announcer grasped at the microphone, ready to speak. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I bet you're raring for the next match! The first combatant, one of Doctor Eggman's test robots, The Grey Gizoid, Phi!" Boos erupted from the crowd though; it was one of Eggman's robots so no good things could be said.

"And the challenger, the speckled hog, Krinkino!"

(Krinkinko walked up looking more alert than the last match)

The robot seemed to move rather jerkilly; the knee and elbow joints tend to lock up at points, though it wasn't known why. "Initiating Combat Mode... Directive 04; Complied... Begin Combat." The Phi robot seemed to maintain a rather martial-looking stance, unknown as to whom it was imitating, but it waited patiently for Krin to attack.

(Krinkinko summoned about 20 clones and commanded them to attack E-121 phi to attack)

Phi seemed to scan each and every one of them in quick succession. Without much hesitation, its movements seemed much more quick and fluid, deflecting the attacks of each clone easily, even causing them to redirect their attack to eachother, before only a few clones remained, and jumped backwards. Cupping it hands to its side, he began to charge Chaos energy. "Initiate Attack: 05... Launch Iminent... Initiate "Heaven Surge Wave." The robot launched a small stream of bright green chaos energy, decimating the other remaining clones while the blast still carried towards Krin.

(But Krinkinko wasn't in his oringinl spot,he used the clones to by himself some time he was behind Phi and he used a rage punch in an attempt to knock Phi upward)

Phi wasn't able to keep up with the speed, but while trying to turn and fire he took the oncoming punch. However, the lack of control this derived the robot of made the gathered Chaos energy still within its hands explode, blasting both Phi and Krin away from eachother. Phi laid on the ground for several moments before sluggishly making its way to its feet. "Balance systems... restored. Resume Directive... Complied. Resume Combat." Instead of waiting for Krin to show any sign of movement, Phi went to attack the hedgehog without hesitation, aiming to drive its fist through his body.

(Krinkinko waited patiently for Phi to try and punch him then when he was about to punch Krinkinko he caught Phi's fist then threw a punch of his own)

A glimmer in Phi's eyes shone as soon as his fist was caught, then did the exact same motion to Krin's fist, catching it before it could touch his chasis. "CAP Recieved... Download data; complete." Still holding to his fist, Phi hopped back and pulled Krin to hit feet before throwing him towards the wall of the coliseum grounds.

(Krinkinko stumbled back but caught himself then rapidly fired three final Flashes towards Phi he then jumped up high into the air)

Alasdair vs Konan
The roar of the crowd could be heard echoing for miles around the coliseum, definitely something that should be noticed. The clapping of hands to the cheers of the voices of the crowd kept going throughout the minutes of wait until the announcer grasped at the microphone. "It's about time for the next match, don't you agree?" A pause was left for the crowd's cheer to fill. "Then I give you the Heart of a Barbarian; Konan!"

The crowd cheered as a rather tall, muscular Lion made his way to the stadium grounds, holding a rather large sword over his shoulders, resting on a hardened steel spaulder. The girls gave out loud whistles at his visage, while he simply smiled back at them.

"And the challenger, Alasdair!"

A fairly muscular Lionolf appears in the arena, holding a Scimitar and Axe, keeping his eyes on his opponent. The crowd suddenly silences at his sudden appearence, pulling of his coat and throwing it aside, his musles rippleing

(He doesn't wear shirts)

Konan hoists the sword from his shoulder and holds it in both hands, watching Alasdair intently before charging forwards without a word, dragging the blade along the floor before quickly slicing upwards, aiming to rend his opponent's body in half with his attack.

Alasdair disappears and reappars behind him, striking him in the head with the flat of his blade, landing easily

Endac vs Jerimiah
Not one for subtlety, the crowd roars with the cries of enjoyment and the cheer of wanting more fighting. The announcer grasps at his trusty megaphone, ready to lay down the next round. "Ladies, Gentlemen, Children of all ages; it's time to get the next round going! I introduce to you both, the Mountain Crusher, Jerimiah, and Endac!"

Jerimiah made his way from the area gates, waving at the crowd as he made his way; bulky and yes for some reason had a sense of agility about him, as though fighting a battle was nothing to him.
