Throwback!: Classic Scenario Tournament

Premise:

Back in the day scenarios were a lot simpler and shorter. This is a salute to the old days of scenarios, where there was a single game or objective that you were supposed to compete. For this tournament, a unique scenario-type will be chosen randomly for each match from a list of classic scenario types, such as assassination, theft, hunter/prey, capture the flag, and so on. Some scenario types will include giving you fodder soldiers to command. Others will pit you in head to head matches, or ask you to utilize stealth, or maybe even diplomacy. Thus, flexibility will be key. this will be a traditional build-a-character style tournament, with a few tweaks.

Story:

Dark things are stirring at the borders of this country. Each day they grow stronger, unchecked by a once proud champion. A torch has gone out, extinguished by old age. Malice grows in the shadowy corners. A new champion must be selected before the blackness spreads.

The nation of Javoss must replace their great champion, Aron D’Reath, a living legend - or at least he was. Now he is dead, with even the powers of the champion unable to sustain him. The selection ceremony must be completed for the first time in over 300 years. Eight guilds vie for power, eight chosen Exemplar's thrust into a harrowing tournament to crown a champion. Who will prevail and bring glory to their guild?

General Rules:

• I will be accepting 7 players (I will fill the 8th slot)
• Each player is an Exemplar (representative) for a different guild.
• I will use whatever guild and class remain after the other 7 have chosen.
• This will be a single-elimination tournament.
• Each match in the tourney will have a scenario-type and setting chosen randomly from the list provided below.
• CaV-Style debates will be used, with minor alterations. Speed and simplicity will be emphasized.
• Limit of 3 posts (Intro, Rebuttal, Conclusion)
• You may not average more than 2,000 words per post.
• Combatants have 10 days to complete the debate before it automatically goes up for debate.
• If one combatant posts in the last two days of the 10-day period the other combatant may request a 2-day extension to make a counter if they are the second poster and need more time to compile a final post.
• First post can be volunteered for, or will be selected randomly unless certain perks come into play.
• Last one standing is crowned champion and wins.

Random Elements:

Build Rules

• You will select a guild, class, body, power set, skill set, and an item.
• Only one person may use a specific character for a specific category. For example, if someone chooses Spider-Man for their powers, no one else may choose Spider-Man for their powers. It will be a first come, first serve basis.
• The same goes for classes and guilds. Only one person per guild/class and first come first serve.
• Nerfing may be allowed in certain circumstances but requires my permission first.
• You may choose anyone from fiction so long as they fit all of the rules.
• If you are vague or I feel it will break the game AT ANY POINT IN THE GAME, I will enforce Rule 0 (which means I say no and the conversation is OVER).

@stormshadow_x: As a Skyhunter you get the option to have a bonis flight-power or air manipulation power.

@warlockmage: As a Steelshaper you get a bonus metal manipulation power.

Seems like a fun idea. I'd like to reserve if possible, but if you get a lot of requests before tomorrow, then I'll step out and let someone else have my spot. Not 100% sure I can commit.

@lunacyde: Reserve and I'll join the Duskdancer guild

Reserve

• Guild: Duskdancers
• Class: Rogue
• Class Skill: Batman's Stealth
• Body: Cassandra Cain
• Skill: Solid Snake
• Power: Obito's MS
• Gear: Batman Beyond suit.
• Darkness Manipulation: Marvel's Cloak

I'll let Reav have Duskdancers, I'll take Truthgazers

@defiant_will: Thanks for being flexible. You get the option of true sight or the ability to use alchemy from FMA (capped at Edward Elric) as your bonus ability.

@defiant_will: Thanks for being flexible. You get the option of true sight or the ability to use alchemy from FMA (capped at Edward Elric) as your bonus ability.

@reaverlation: You get darkness manipulation as your bonus ability.

Batman breaks the "knows every martial art on Earth" rule.

@lunacyde: would I choose a specific character for feats?

@lunacyde: I also chose a different skill set

To clarify

1. Do I choose a specific FMA character to replicate alchemy from? And would Edward himself be allowed?
2. Is Scar's deconstruction/reconstruction allowed under this perk?

Reserve for now but I’ll take sunspeaker guild

@lunacyde Also for further clarification, does "tactical skill" under the Captian Class apply to someone like Neumann? She has super intelligence that lets her form calculations and anticipate the enemies next attack and outline an optimal course of action

@reaverlation: Yes, you could for example choose the Shroud for example.

@defiant_will: No, I consider that a power. I know it's a fine line but tactical genius is like Batman, Cyclops, LeLouch.

Oooh, lemme in!

Guild: Earthslingers

Class: Spearman

Body: Nightwing

Powerset: Cyclops (Marvel)

Skillset: Nightwing

Item: Nightwing's suit

BTW, I never watched or heard of FMA so that example means nothing to me. This is Comic Vine, not Anime Vice. What is "alchemy"?

@lunacyde: How would someone like vixen's powers fit under the power limitations?

@lunacyde: would Sudou Kaname from Darwin's Game's power start out with no items being available or can I just create anything he has created before?

@defiant_will:

1.Yes/Yes.

2. Yes, even though it isn't technically alchemy I'll allow it.

@sazzmi: Your bonus is you can pick a character to get water manipulation from.

@stormshadow_x: @seagod:

I will need a little while to get back to you.

SSx...you mean DC Vixen?

@lunacyde: Yep, Didn't plan on using the few feats of her using animals that break limits like the one time she used a whale

@lunacyde:

Guild:Willshifter

Class: Tank

Body: James Rogers

Power: Kaname's sigil(tentatively)

Skill: Nagisa Shiota

Item: Iron Spider suit

@seagod: Your Willshifter bonus is that you get an emotion manipulation power.

Wait, nevermind. You're on reserves, we already had 8.

I believe that is all the open slots. I'll step out so that another person can play. In order I have:

1. SSX
2. WM
3. DefiantWill
4. HigherPower
5. Reav
6. Watcher
7. Sazzmi
8. Whathappened

There will be reserves in case someone drops out.

1. Leonhart
2. Seagod
3. Myself
4. Ingenuity

• Guild: Truthgazers
  • Scar's Alchemy
• Class: Fighter
  • Composite Garou's H2H Martial Arts (RT)

I'll reserve.

@lunacyde Finalized build (for now)

  • Scar's Reconstruction/Deconstruction
• Class: Fighter
  • Composite Garou Martial Arts
• Skillset: Meruem

@stormshadow_x: as long as you dont use any feats that break the limits I'll allow Vixen.

Just be wary that if you use feats clearly above the limits you will be punished.

@defiant_will:

You have a good start, but just to be clear, you get a general power set and general skill set. The guild and class bonuses are in addition to the general sets.

@lunacyde: Too late to reserv?

Won't have to worry about that, thank you.

@lunacyde

StormShadow_X's Build - Wolf-Kissed

• Guild - Skyhunters ( Aang's Airbending)
• Class - Marksman (Green Arrow Post Crisis-Rebirth)
• Body - Composite Timeline Liu Kang (Mortal Kombat)
• Power Set - Vixen ( Post Crisis-Rebirth)
• Skill Set - Kraven (616)
• Special gear - Hawkeye's Bow and Trick Arrows (616)

@supremegeneration:

You would be on the reserve list. I'm going to try and figure out a way to fit more people in.

@stormshadow_x: I'm sorry but I'm going to have to say no to using a byakugan as a sense for scout. I intended it to be normal senses such as Daredevil's hearing or Wolverine's sense of smell. I dont want to open pandora's box with these senses that are too crazy and essentially grant superpowers. Class bonuses are meant to give a nice specialization boost but shouldn't be overpowered.

@lunacyde: No problem, I'll change it

@lunacyde: Could I switch my Class to Marksman since no one has taken it yet?

@lunacyde: Can you let more people join? I would love to do this.

@stormshadow_x: Yep.

I'm working on maybe expanding it. I don't want to really expand the rounds of the tournament but I think I have an idea so more people can participate.

@lunacyde: If I can (if not, then reserve me) I would like to have

Guild: Will shifters

Body: 616 Deadpool

Power Set: 616 Nightcrawler

Class: Marksman (616 Bullseye's aim)

Item: Green Arrow's bow and trick arrows

Skill: Deadpool's martial arts

@lunacyde: New Build is Up,
