User blog:The Black Dragon of Orihara/Aetherium/Annual '16

The Aetherium has landed for it's annual visit this time. This means the tournaments are at their biggest activity. The Diamond Arena, as ever, is taking new challengers. This will hold the list aside to the Aurum and Amethyst Dragon descriptions.

=Useless History= Originally, the Aetherium Tournament in it's first and second years, have been held as a means to determine the strongest within Trinity's ranks, therefore whoever had won would prove their regiment or citystate to be the best compared to its' fellows. Whether or not it's the means of a way to determine the ruler is entirely up to debate, or if it's just a series of battlesports to show their muscle, the entire reason as towards the Aetherium Tournaments' holdings have been up to debate, and it's unknown whether or not the case is the same or different each year.

The host of the Aetherium tournaments is generally, always and formost, the First Oriharan Regiment and the citystate of Orihara, due to them being the owners of the massive flagship

=Rules=
 * The seed is randomly generated, bitching will only make you look stupid.
 * For those new to RPing or new to the Aetherium; Please confer to my guide to roleplaying. Everything you're advised to not do, it's against the rules, if you fail to read this and say "It's not in the rules", it will count as an automatic disqualification, because I have no time for your systemic bullshit.
 * Shortly put, no godmodding, powerplaying, metagaming, or anything of the like.
 * Harassment of fellow RPers, is prohibited.
 * Each character is allowed to use up to two summons to help them in the 1v1 bracket, but not in the doubles, trio, or party brackets.
 * Sign up like this;


 * Name (Bracket 1v1)
 * or
 * Name, and Name (Bracket 2v2)
 * you can figure the rest.


 * Brackets will ultimately have different slot numbers unless demanded to expand more if we can.
 * 1v1 has 32 slots
 * 2v2 has 24 slots
 * 3v3 has 16 slots
 * And 4v4 has 8 slots.
 * You can team up with another user to enter a team, but that would just make things more complicated, in a way.


 * To prevent chat clogging, we may host this chat at a different location and chat.


 * There is an optional Diamond Arena mode for bragging rights, but do note that the Diamond Arena mode is facing my characters at their peak fighting condition, and in the form of Limitless.
 * The odds will be stacked against you, find a way to make it even, but recommended, not by OP super forms or rage forms.
 * Enter upon your own risk.


 * If you won't be active during the tournament, then don't join at all.
 * Failure to show up for one week on the chat or wiki during launch will result in an automated drop out.
 * You are excused if you had an emergency (Does not include panic attacks or drama), or vacation.


 * There are Apothecaries in the case of emergency.

IMPORTANT

 * You are not qualified to join if you've been disqualified from last year's tournament, or at least had 3+ rule violations, you may ask me if you qualify if you're not sure. I will ignore sign-up requests from those that are not.

=Updates to the Diamond Arena=
 * The Amethyst Dragon has been added.
 * Every match will be considered Lunatic, do your best!
 * Descriptions are not available for Amethyst and Aurum Dragon, ask Sol.
