Roleplay:Endless War

Okay, first RP. Ever. Never made an RP before. I guess a tournament thread was the way to go.

...Oh, and, a bit of incentive. I'm planning on drawing a mock-up box art for this with everyone's main characters. It'll take a while to draw, though. Quite a while. Might take even longer if this keeps getting buried and doesn't take off.

Rules

 * No Godmodding/Ubering/Powerplaying. Ever.
 * Cussing is allowed to an extent. The f-word and other taboo curses are banned.
 * Don't use frequent edits.
 * Everyone gets to follow their own story for this RP, but don't center it on yourself. Please. This isn't Arcade Mode!
 * Maximum character allotment is 5.
 * RP will start after 4-5 people have joined.
 * Additional RPers are allowed until the end of Round 1.
 * - Do not confuse "Round" with "Rebel".
 * Fights will be randomized... somehow. Don't know how I will randomize them, but they will be randomized.
 * No canon characters this time around. Unless... you want them. If you do, look towards the talk page.
 * The ending doesn't have to be serious. It could be a gag reel! o3o But I still recommend a serious ending.

Combat Rules

 * The fighting logic used will be based on BlazBlue.
 * Basic attacks and specials can be used freely, and can be countered.
 * The fight ends when the opponent is defeated twice.
 * Heat is acquired by successfully using combos. It is used to execute Distortion Drives and Astral Heats.
 * More powerful attacks should be listed as Distortion Drives. Distortion Drives cost 25 heat to use. Defeating an opponent with a Distortion Drive will result in a Distortion Finish. Do keep in mind, Distortion Drives can be countered.
 * NOTE: Transformations are counted as Distortion Drives.
 * Decimating finishing moves will be counted as Astral Heats. Astral Heats cost 50 heat to use and can only be used when the opponent has already been defeated once. Defeating an opponent with an Astral Heat will result in an Astral Finish.
 * Calling your attacks is completely optional. :3 But it's awesome.

Plot
Mobius. A planet faced with war and disaster on a daily basis. (Honestly, it is.)

In this day, the powers that be have come to the decision to analyze every possible timeline, and have prevented time from progressing, rather, forcing it into an endless loop.

All the while, a sinister plot is brewing to bring the planet to its knees. It's source; the Cauldron, the Azure Grimoire in its purest form. The Cauldron has the ability to remake the world -- a power that one may desire and covet. It has the potential to bring peace to Mobius; its abuse, however, could ravage it.

So, will you save the world, or destroy it?

The Wheel of Fate is Turning...

RolePlay

 * This roleplay is ago! Just a bit of prologue for everyone's story, and we should be good to go. You are allowed your own scenes.

Prologue
"Huh... I wonder what dad wants with us this time?" Ciel asked.

"Well, we already know it's dangerous if he asks us to do anything. It's just a matter of what." Sigma said.

The elevator arrived at OmegaCorp's top floor.

"Good evening, Sigma, Ciel. I trust you know why you're both here?" Albert asked

"Not really, dad." Sigma replied.

"Well, let me elaborate. Our scanners are picking up a massive amount of energy somewhere on the planet. The Cauldron." Albert said. "That's where you two come in. I need you to secure that area."

"Alright, why the HELL do you want us to secure something like that? It can only lead to trouble." Sigma said.

"I don't want it to fall into the hands of someone like Telos. Just as well, you are recommended to neutralize anyone that gets in your way." Albert answered.

"Yes, sir." Sigma and Ciel replied.

"I'm also sending Monica along... just in case." Albert said.

"Confirmed."

The two Reploids went back into the elevator, then embarked on their assignment to secure the cauldron...

TRANSITION... Add your own scene for your part of the story!

Joseph: (yawns) Man, what a day!

Jimmy: Tell me about it!

Brittney: Awww, don't worry, guys! It's summer vacation! Don't be so glum!

Joseph: Yeah....I guess you're right....

Tammy: Hey guys! Look! There's this tournament for this Cauldron thing! And we can enter!

Joseph: Cauldron, Hmmm......

Jimmy: Sounds like fun!

Brittney: Alright! Let's all enter!

Joseph: (nods) (Maybe I can finally show the world what I'm made of....)

A sinister smile faded into the shadows, knowing their plan was now in effect...

TRANSITION -- wait, is that everyone who's online at the moment?

Clyde: (comes to, notices his Wolfen crashed into a field) Uhh...what?......what happened? (tries to contact his team) Team Star Wolf, this is Clyde! Do you read me?

(no response)

Clyde: Great Wolf, do you copy?!....Ivy?! Angel?!....Kyle!! Anybody?!?!....great! Stuck in the middle of nowhere, with no way to contact anyone....(gets out and gets his equiptment) Well....might as well start looking for that cauldron that General Peppy told me about! (starts walking off)

(Okay, that's it for my characters)


 * Transition placeholder for the other people :3*

Zero knew that something wasn't right, so he entered the tournament with two of the best fighters he knew; Abyss the Hedgehog: a master fighter with plenty of experience who can take down may foes with a single attack and is also a powerful Chaos user and Dan the Hedgehog: also known as Dan the Dark Elementhog, a hedgehog with powerful and numerous abilities and two powerful long swords that is the physical equilibrium of light and Darkness and the embodiment of souls.

"This is gonna be all too easy, some of the competitors aren't really trained for combat." said Abyss

"Don't be so overconfident" replied Dan.

"We had better get top our matches" said Zero.

((Lawl, somebody put those bars for me, 'cause I has no idea how to do them.))

Chapter 1: Calamity Trigger
Chapter 1's battles have been randomized. These are the results!

CH1 - 1 - Telos Nyctores VS. Zero the Wolf

 * Pending*

CH1 - 2 - Abyss the Hedgehog VS. Terrax Lylat
Terrax: *takes his belt off of a hanger and puts it on and tightens it* This is going to be wild...

Abyss then appears seemingly ready for combat. "You ready?"

Terrax: *chuckles* Are you sure you want to lose to a blind man? *light blue eyes sparkling*

CH1 - 3 - Joseph the Wolf VS. Lightning the Hedgehog
Jospeh: (training for the tournament)

Lightning: *gets a sip from his waterbottle, then sets it down and wipes his mouth with his hand*

Joseph: HUH HEE HYAAA!!!!!

CH1 - 4 - Ciel Mackenzie Hale VS. Clyde O'Donnell Ciel had split up from Sigma by Albert's orders, and was now wandering the same area in which Clyde had crashed down.

Clyde: (running around and accidentally bumps into her)

"Hey, watch where you're--... wha... what the hell are you doing out here?" Ciel asked.

Clyde: Oh...s-sorry about that....I'm Clyde O'Donnell, lead pilot of Star Wolf. I was sent to find this dangerous cauldron, and that's when this strange force made my ship crash.

"...!" Ciel immediately got into a fighting stance after realizing the Cauldron was involved.

Clyde: I need to find it and fast! General Peppy made it clear there will be severe consequences if I don't!

"...I'm sorry, but I'm stopping you here. Direct orders." Ciel said.

Clyde: If that's how it's gotta be....(takes out his blaster) So be it!

"I think it's best you knew EXACTLY what you're messing with..."

The Wheel of Fate is Turning...

Rebel 1, Action!

Ciel began floating back, prepared to counter anything that came at her.

Clyde: (started shooting her)

Ciel tried shielding herself, before forming a blade in front and firing it at Clyde, flying forward.

Clyde: (jumps out of the way and does a flip in mid-air, slashing her with his claws)

Ciel formed a barrier in front, and tried to counter with few quick slashes.

Clyde: (poses) HUGH!!!.....not bad for a girl!

"I'll take that as a compliment." Ciel smirked, flying toward Clyde and summoning a blade downward.

Clyde: (kicks her several times)

Ciel was countered, being hit several times.

Clyde: (slashes her hard)

Ciel was sent back by the hit, though recovered. Ciel skewered forward, before stabbing the ground and caused energy to spike up under Clyde.

Clyde: Huh?

The energy came up in a concentrated burst from Ciel's attack.

Clyde: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I apologize for such a late response... conditions on this end have been... hectic.)

Ciel flew upward, and tried to do a slash combo in the air.

Clyde: UGH!!!!

Ciel skewered forward, trying to catch him off guard.

Clyde: Aw crap!

Ciel floated back once she made her attack, giving Clyde a bit of slack...

Clyde:.....huh?

"This ain't exactly a playground, ya know." Ciel said, supposedly standing by.

Clyde: I'm not here to play! I'm here to find the Azure Grimoire!

CH1 - 5 - Brittney the Bat VS. Eryka Capoeira Eryka seemed to be practicing, having signed up for this "tournament" like Joseph and the others...

Brittney: (training) HUH!! HYAAA!!! HUDIAAAA!!!! HAAA!!!!

Eryka panted, going outside for a breather... according to the rules, weapons could be used... however, she preferred her handheld thermic lances over submachineguns, so she practiced fighting with her fists.

Brittney: YEAH!!! I keep this up, I can win the tournament!

Eryka smirked, rather sure of herself. She walked on, and ended up walking in on Brittney's training session.

Brittney: HAAA!!! (accidentally kicks Eryka) Oh my god! I'm so sorry!!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! What's the problem?" Eryka asked.

Brittney: I-i-i-i-I swear it was an accident! I was just training for the tournament and din't see you there! I'm so sorry!

"Ohhhh, so you're in this too, huh?" Eryka said.

Brittney: Yep! Me and three of my friends too!

"You do know, the rules state the fights can take place anywhere at anytime, right?" Eryka said.

Brittney: No...I-I didn't....so the tournament's already started then?

"Not for me. I'm still waiting for my first fight." Eryka said.

Brittney: So am I.....

"So, uhh... tell me a bit about yourself." Eryka said, trying to strike up some sort of conversation instead of going straight into the fight.

Briitney: My name is Brittney. I stand by this thing that a girl can have more than one boyfriend. But I'm not a slut. I hate being called that....I love being around my friends and doing things with them! I entered the tournament so I could be taken a bit more seriously and I can do something that can get people to like me! What about you?

"Oh, me? I'm Eryka Capoeria, a maintenance officer in the Mobian airforce. I like to build things from scratch -- these thermic lances are just one example." Eryka said. "I thought I'd join this tournament to demonstrate what I'm capable of. Well, that, and I'm just plain bored."

Brittney: So glad it's summer vacation!

"Yeah... and I figure it might get quite eventful..." Eryka said.

Brittney: (nods) So....ya ready?

"Question is... are you?" Eryka said, getting into a stance.

Brittney: (gets into fighting stance) Just bring it on!

CH1 - 6 - Tammy WaterColor VS. JT the Androhog
Tammy: (training for the tournament)

Hazama: So. You must be Tammy...

Tammy: Huh? Y-Yeah! I'm Tammy Watercolor, junior pro wrestler and model! But....who are you?

Hazama: (Always Smiling) That doesnt matter Tammy...

Tammy: Huh?

Hazama: Hehe... Now.. Can I ask you a question... Tammy..?

Tammy: What is it?

Hazama: Do you know... Monica DeLouise..?

Tammy: No...I don't....

Hazama: (Says Evily But still Smiling) Aww... Thats a shame... (Opens eyes) Looks like your useless garbage then...

CH1 - 7 - Sigma Hale VS. Dan the Hedgehog Sigma was currently on his way toward the Cauldron, on his own path...While Dan was already awaiting him in the arena.Sigma sensed his presence... "Alright, I know you're here. Come on out."

CH1 - 8 - James the Wolf VS. Jimmy Canvas
Jimmy: (training for the tournament)

CH1 - 9 - Monica DeLouise VS. Jester the Hedgehog Monica was on her own path to the Cauldron, as well...
