As Royce Piedmont is a school that collects students from around the globe, it isn't unusual that many of them are proficient in the martial arts. Over the years several dojos and training halls have opened up in the study of these martial skills around the campus. To quell the 'Spirit of Competition' that often goes hand in hand with multiple schools of combat so close to one another full of teenagers looking to prove themselves, the heads at Royce Piedmont decided that a annual tournament was to be held as a means of providing an outlet for the students to put their energy into. 1 student from each registered martial arts club was allowed to enter into the tournament, the student chosen was often done such by that particular clubs own choice of either a democratic vote or a micro-tournament to determine the best candidate (though more often than not the latter occurred as many students from the same club wanted to compete themselves). Recently the heads of Royce Piedmont have decided that individuals are permitted to enter the tournament regardless of whether or not they are affiliated with a specific martial arts club. Winners of the tournament receive a total of 200,000 Yen (Approximately 1704 US Dollars) and the Champion's Trophy.
Rules:
1) No Godmoding of any kind: this includes auto-hitting, ghosting, tanking, puppeteering, chaining, or any other derision thereof.
2) While it isn't really a problem here, please refrain from OOC while in the roleplay, we have 2 chat rooms that are for that purpose.
3) You are allowed three defensive moves (one per post) when attacked which can be any combination of a dodge, a block, and a counter (counters count as both a defensive and an offensive move, so they are unavailable during a warm up / cool down period explained below).
4) After the three defensive moves are used, you are expected to take the next attack. You can choose to take an attack early if you believe that the damage incurred will be minimal.
5) Attacks can range in strength to light, medium, or heavy. Light attacks are worth 1 point and can be posted continuously, medium attacks are worth 2 points and require a warm up / cool down period of 1 non-attack post (you must either wait one turn in order to use this attack, or wait one turn after using the attack, your choice), heavy attacks are worth 3 points and require 2 warm up / cool down periods. Please note that warm up / cool down periods only mean that you cannot attack, you are still capable of using defensive moves. Please indicate which attack you are using in your post.
6) Fighters are given a total of 15 health points per round. Once a fighter loses all 15 health points, they lose the match.
7) Because this is a school where the majority of the population has abilities, powers are permitted during combat.
8) It would be unfair to force weapon users to forgo their 'extension of themselves,' so the school will provide non-lethal variants of all weapons used.
9) While the fights themselves aren't point based and are instead 'knock down, drag out', please refrain from permanently injuring or killing your opponent unless permitted by the character's creator.
10) Have fun.
I will leave the number of sign ups open, you are permitted to use multiple characters for the tournament, but remember that you may have to sacrifice a few so as to avoid fighting yourself in the finals. Sign ups will close on the 18'th of February.
