STOP THAT AMULET: a open RP *EVERYONE CAN JUST JOIN IN NOW*

[terribleyetfun]

okay here`s how this game works you create a character to participate in a brawl for the amulet (which alerts the other competitors to your location so there`s no hiding) also by brawl I mean an all out war with alliances, betrayals and epic destruction. The brawl will start off in a Colosseum in the fictional nation of escaporia (I know it`s unoriginal, so sue me...please don`t I don`t I`m poor) but can go out to the rest of the world and possibly beyond I will be the ref in this little game and there are commentators but you can make them say whatever you want(I have teleportation magic and other kinds so I`l be able to go anywhere you can go but I won`t interfere) and there are only four rules:

1.no god modding
2.you can`t have an invincible hold on the amulet.
3.you can maybe control what other characters say just to move the story along but I`l put this one up to a vote.

keep all OOC messages in spoiler tags or put OOC: in front of them but I prefer spoiler tags
if you break these rules I will kill your character excluding the last rule.

the rules of the sport are that anyone can compete and we mean anyone no dimensional or time period limitations it starts out with two competitors but can eventually lead to every human being in escaporia or exsistance competing.

Escaporia is in the midevil age but due to the discovery of time travel magic, pieces from all periods of history are scattered through out the land, the landscape is mostly plains and mountains with large settlements on the plains and some tribes in the mountains

BACKSTORY: The nation of escaporia has fallen into a state of unrest the masses bloodthirsty and uneducated the king of escaporia a corrupted violent man who is content to sit on his throne like a glutton stuffing his face rather then trying to fix the nation`s problems he has created a series of bloodsports to siphon off the population and to keep the masses distracted from the big picture of poverty and depression this is one of them.

simply post an intro post and if you like some backstory as to why you`re competing you be any kind of character you want


DISCLAIMER: this is not a thread where one poster steals it from another it has a story and characters so THERE HA

The crowd cheered as the event was under way the ref a tall man in a sleeveless black and white striped shirt walked into the center of the arena he stepped onto a floating platform doing a clockwise sweep of the Colosseum the crowd let out a loud cheer.

"yes it is breath taking now as we all know this battle will never end and we will be able to watch it on the jumbo-tron here" harry yelled beating Barry to it this time the ref pointed to a huge screen which showed the viewpoint of a camera panning around the amulet the ref floated down on his platform to the center of the arena and clapped his hands a pedestal appeared with a bust of the king he draped the amulet over the bust he then pointed to the gates they rolled open.

I'll probably join tomorrow, far too tired to think creatively right now. I just don't want you to think this has failed due to lack of interest. Am I a good person now, or am I bad person for even bringing up the possibility?

The crowd of the arena roared. He gulped nervously and stepped out onto the sand of the Coliseum with a small sword in he right hand and a book in his left.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand now entering the Coliseum, coming in at five feet eleven inches and one-hundred and twenty-two pounds. Ladies, gentlemen and whatever Barry is, please give a strong arena welcome to Marcus Zentriliouuuuuuuuus!"
Marcus put his hand over his eyes and surveyed the crowd, not wanting to displease them he opened the book and read a passage aloud, "Ego voco vox di ventus!" The crowd silenced in anticipation... nothing happened. Marcus looked around nervously and shouted, "You knaves believe I would waste my energy before the fight?" The crowd began to rumble, "I need to save everything I've got for the worthless beast behind the other door, you'll just have to wait to see him torn to shreds by my magic!"
The crowd erupted eager for the bloodshed they were about to witness, the sounds of their screams were deafening. Marcus pointed his sword towards the other door and shouted, "Come out and meet your maker, so I can get the amulet and go home!"

Spoiler: OoC

I hope that was ok if it wasn't tell me what I did wrong and I'll fix it.
Also I wasn't sure if you wanted us to use our usernames or create names so, obviously, I went with the latter.

Okay then, I'll join.

As Geoff waited, watching Marcus leave for his battle, he was glad it wsn't his round yet. He didn't want it to be his. He had been sitting there for about 3 hours now and was still afraid about who he was going to face.

His heart was like a Jackhammer. His face was like the great floods you hear of in stories. His eyes were a blur and his hands were miniature earthquakes.

"Don't worry" he said to himself. "You can do this." "Come on."

He repeated those three sentences over and over again to himself, waiting for this round to be over, and for his life to be over...

Spoiler: OOC

Is that Okay or do you want me to fight Dragonrabbit, as I'm good with either

the ref floated down next to marcus as he waited for the next competitor.
"ummmm next competitor you can come out now please I want to see some blood before four o,clock" harry said into his microphone impatiently checking his watch.

"well it looks like the other competitor has forfeit do we have any reserves we can use or do we have to start an exhibition match to fill the time or we could educate some people I don`t know I wanted this battle to start" Barry mused.

"no wait I think we got one goes by the name of geoff was scheduled to go against gramlak the killer troll but I think this is much better SO LET`S BRING HIM OUT" harry shouted the crowd let out a thunderous roar as the jumbo-tron camera focused on the second gate everybody waiting for geoff to come out.

Spoiler: OOC

etuners said he`d join later so zombie_fish you`re in let the battle commence

 

[Zombie_Fish]

"Oh, just great." Geoff thought to himself. He sighed a sigh that he really didn't want to end, picked up his gargantuan warhammer and strolled out, acting as if he didn't care that these may be the last few minutes of his life.

As he strolled into the arena, taking his time, the crowd became silenced, as they gazed down at a fairly lanky bloke with grey hair that stuck up, down and sideways as if it needed another few dimensions to get the full picture of it. He could sense their dissappointment...

Then they saw his hammer. This was made out of solid wood, was almost 3/4 his own height, and had spikes on the end, despite him thinking they weren't practical but his mate had made it for him and said they were for effect, and since he didn't want to argue... Anyway, he just dragged this... thing along side him as he walked along. This man, known as "Geoff" wore a grey suit of armor (Also equipped with spikes for dramatical effect- His mate said that was all people cared about now, not the actual fighting skill- not practical means) and an indigo cloak with gold trims on it.

The audience were now cheering a combination of "Marcus" and "Geoff" which came out to him as "Gearcus" or "Meff", either way he didn't care.

Ans so, with onme swin of his right arm, his lifted his warhammer- spikes and all- onto his shouldher and said one thing, in as smooth a voice as he could muster, and still seem menacing:

"Bring it." And with that he made a scream as massive and powerful as his hammmer and charged at Marcus with all his might.

 

[terribleyetfun]

"WELL IT LOOKS LIKE THE FIRST CONTESTANTS ARE OUT" Barry screamed .

"don`t wet yourself the ref`s still gotta explain the rules" harry laughed watching barry nearly fall into the crowd below.

the ref floated down to the two competitors stopping geoff in his tracks and brought them close together.
"okay here are the rules first one to grab the amulet and kill all the combatants wins it you can leave the arena but the amulet alerts others to your location so there`s no hiding and the amulet augments your strength so there is an advantage to holding it" the ref explained.

"what do you mean all the combatants we`re the only ones" geoff asked.

"we`rent you paying attention anyone can compete from anywhere you have to kill everyone to win just look at that crowd" the ref pointed them in the direction of the crowd it was full of mercenaries and warriors all armed to the teeth with weapons from various periods of history.
"and they all jump in as soon as one of you grabs the amulet or in an hour whichever comes first or if you both kill each other at the same time" the ref then gave a sadistic grin and floated away.
"okay the ref`s finished LET`S GET THIS PARTY STARTED" Barry yelled his chair rolling backwards sending him face first into the desk.

Spoiler

the battle has started

 

[Zombie_Fish]

"Well, with that out of the way now..." Geoff thought to himself, before repeating "BRING IT!" and swinging his hammer at Marcus' left hip.

 

[Dragonrabbit]

"GAH!" Marcus shouted jumping away from the hammer. However, it still clipped his hip and sent him spiraling into the ground. He opened his book and fumbled through the pages, "Please for the love of God, work!" He thought to himself as he found the spell he stood up and pointed his open palm at Geoff's general direction, "Incendia superum!" He shouted and a massive fireball blasted out of his hand, unfortunately at the same time Geoff launched him with another hammer strike making the fireball go into the crowd destroying about a fifth of the Arena and all the audience members within the destroyed section.

"Hey Barry do you think our insurance covers that?"

"I'm not sure Harry, but I don't care that was cool!"

"Folks just a reminder, you were entered into a legal contract when you entered the stands that states that Escaporia is in no way responsible for any physical, mental, or emotional damge that may occur while you're here."

 

[Zombie_Fish]

As Geoff swang his hammer for the second time, just missing Marcus, he saw the fireball enter the "audience".

"Meh, they're all competitors anyway." he concluded, before turning and just missing another fireball, flying off and killing more future competitors. He decided to parry this with another attempted swing of his hammer and screamed "AHHH-"...

Before being struck on the side of the arm with a fireball, his arm becoming terribly burnt and the metal melting onto the arena.

"OUCH! THAT'S gotta hurt!" Harry and Barry said at the same time. "Say Barry, what chance do you think Geoff has now?"

"Well Harry, I think he's got about as much chance of beating Marcus as you have, but either way, this is gonna turn into one awesome battle."

Meanwhile, Marcus tried for another fireball. "Incendia super- GAH!" as he tried to dodge, as Geoff thrusted his hammer at Marcus' chest like you would with a sword.
