Fantasy Aether: The Age of Light OOC [being rebooted]

also for the purposes of simplicity, I'd recommend doing 1v1.

Do a max of 2 if you're gonna lose. 3 will be against the "Champion" for whoever wants to get through. Only one player however.

The battle against the champ will be decided via dice and other factors.
 
I'm assuming these fights will be strictly 1 v 1 with a bracket, not a melee free for all?

Or maybe you start with a melee free for all of all the combatants that want to enter the bracket to narrow the field. The eight (or some number) who make it through the melee are paired off randomly and put in a bracket; they face each other 1 v 1 until we have a champion.
No no, usually that one's just a straight up free for all. Jousting is 1 v 1, and where the real money's at
Alright, correction, there are 1 v 1 duels with brackets, but they're not as important as the full free for all melee. The melee is the second most popular event in tournaments like this, with archery coming in a bit below (usually used by the city guard to get more recruits), and the most popular being jousting, which is the most popular sport. Especially when someone is accidentally killed.

Looks like this is gonna get interesting" *guy gets smashed with hammer. Swap to shocked anime face* "NANI?"
 
Presumably more people than can fit in a reasonably small bracket are going to enter this thing for their shot at the prize and the title.

That's why I recommend you start with a Melee of EVERYONE who tried to sign up. You are disqualified from the Melee if you're knocked out of the arena, incapacitated, or yield. Top 8 or so victors in the Melee move on to the bracket. They're paired in 1 v 1 matches based on their placement in the Melee. You lose if, again, you are removed from the arena forcibly, you're incapacitated, or you yield.

That way, we have a valid reason to exclude all other faceless, nameless participants from a tiny bracket that focuses solely on matches with our characters in them.
 
OR

we could roll an Inquisitor out and it can just be whoever survives longest wins. lolololol
It'd be the run of the bulls, but even the ones who survive are killed

Harmon isn't THAT inept. Gawsh.
 
actually they wouldn't be used for such inane purpose. This ain't WWE.

This isn't an anime tournament arc.
 
Hey guys, I think I might pack it in; just looking at the way you describe your characters and the depth and ability that you possess when writing your posts in the RP, I feel really out of might depth. Plus, it doesn't really help the way I've written my character and what contribution he could add to the story, I really don't know.

Makes sense.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just write what you write and I'm sure it'll be fine as long as its legible and consistent. No pressure.

bare in mind those are first posts, and those are always longer than average. Coz like, it's an introduction.
 
Thanks guys, but I'm just not as good as the rest of ye, that's fairly plain to see. I'd honestly just keep you behind, with Dominicanes getting a Inquisitor send after him! XD

I mean, I think you should at least give it a shot. But hey, all you buddy.

Very true, intro posts tend to be some of the largest

Thanks guys, but I'm just not as good as the rest of ye, that's fairly plain to see. I'd honestly just keep you behind, with Dominicanes getting a Inquisitor send after him! XD
I hope you consider staying to at least give it a try, but if not it's cool
 
I'll probably have to do it tomorrow however if that's the case, since it's rather late over here at the moment.

Dude, over half my post was a higly edited version of something in a really good mod. I will fully admit, most of that post I put up was plagiarized. My original idea for a post was shit. Trust me, you'll be fine.
