Click the link for the tournament bracket!

Contact the soldier with whom you're competing in Round One. (Tidus is on vacation until the 29th.) How you decide the winner is up to you: You can both write spontaneously and figure out a winner as the battle goes on, or you can decide from the start, or you can let us decide (by random number process--can you tell we like our random numbers?).

Battles will take place in the Town Square (not on headquarters). Remember, soldiers should not compete to kill. When a soldier feels he cannot go on, he should surrender the fight, and the other competitor must respect that decision and cease fighting. 

Besides the rule above, we're not imposing any other strict rules; we wanted this tournament to be a fun chance for soldiers to actually fight each others (and not just monsters). Just as long as competitors are on the same page with any additional rules they decide, we'll be okay with it. Whether you want your match to be a contest of evasion ('first hit wins'), strength ('first disarm wins'), or overall strategy is up to the competitors.

When a winner has been decided, message the Admin. We will update and repost the bracket as winners are decided.

Once your opponent has been decided, you may start the next round. Continue the above process until there is a winner!

How was this bracket decided? Names were first ordered alphabetically and then assigned a number. Then, we used a random sequence generator to pair up numbers (thus, names) together. Thus is the result!

Be sure to message us if any problems arise or if you have any questions. Also message us if you're still interested in competing but forgot to sign up, and we'll create a new bracket. 

With some time to kill between his tour and his first mission, Arc decided to explore by himself a little bit. Who knew, maybe he would make some friends in the process. Arc set off in the general direction of the briefing room. A light breeze ruffled his brown hair as he began his trek.

He enjoyed walking alone like this, just him and his thoughts. Many a time he had lost track of what he was doing and, without really noticing, would meander miles away from where he began. Eventually he would snap back to reality, due to a strange noise or sight. Sometimes, he wasn't sure why, his train of thought would simply reach the end of its tracks.

That was basically what happened on his first day. Thinking back on it, he wouldn't even remember what he had been thinking about. Anyways, on this day, Arc found himself in a small building that was almost filled by some sort of engine or motor. Arc had read a book on machines not too long ago, so he decided to test what he knew by trying to figure out what the machine was designed to do.

Yuffie was excited...No. She was ecstatic. Her first mission upon being enlisted into Taejins Army. The ninja couldn't wait to show them what she was made of. This mission would for she be a piece of cake! There wasn't anything the girl couldn't handle. They'd probably be done before they knew it! Yuffie was curious as to who she'd be paired up with. Hopefully a cutie! Like all the other soldiers she'd been fortunate to meet as of late.

The ninja made her way towards the headquarters, where she'd receive the details of her first mission. A small hop in each step she took. She'd felt a bit deprived of battles as of lately, this was her chance to finally get back into the groove of things! Her thoughts wandered to the mission. What kind of mission would it be...? Something excited, hopefully!
