Two men walk into the middle of a clearing near a cemetary. Both men different, yet the same. They each carry with them gleaming blades that glisten in the light mist of rain that had jsut begun to fall.

One of the men removes his hat to reveal a bald head and malevolent looking eyes. The second pulls off his raincoat making his long black ponytail wave.

In a flash, the broad blade of the first man's sword flashes forward in a split second. The second man acted just as quickly. Both swords connect in a streak of white sparks. The man with the ponytail takes advantage of his adversary's momentum to trip him.

The bald man recovers quickly. But, not quickly enough. Before he can turn around for a second attack, the slightly curved blade of his enemy plunged deeply into his back. He fell to his knees.

"You're better that I thought, MacLeod." sputtered the bald man through a mouthful of blood, "I guess I made a mistake."

"There was no reason for us to fight, Aaron!" bellowed MacLeod, "Why couldn't you see that?"

Aaron slumped deeper as MacLeod pulled the blade from his body. "You should have known our friendship wouldn't have lasted. The tournament is about to end. There are so few of us left. And as you know..."

MacLeod lifted the ivory handle of his weapon high above his head and spoke "There can be only one." With a lightning fast sweep and a sickening squelch, the match was over.

A thick mist rosed from the now lifeless body and enveloped MacLeod. Flashes of electricity spark all around him and explode with deafening booms. A ring of flame circles around him, but soon dies.[/color][/size][/b]

This thread goes along the lines of "The Highlander" story. If you are unfamiliar with the story... Well, I'm not gonna waste my time explaining it to you. The basic premise is:

The Immortal Tournament is coming close to an end. There are only a couple hundred left all across the world. This particular thread follows the story of Mason MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod and his small group of Immortals that believe, or at leat hope, that all Immortals can live in harmony with one another.

Although Duncan MacLeod is still alive, he has not been seen or heard from in one hundred-fifty years. So, using the lessons Duncan has taught him, Mason clings to the belief of eternal balance, but also uses unmatched skill in defending those he cares for.

The once noble Watchers are now completely corrupt. They are now all out to destroy every living Immortal using their age-old skills in tracking and deceit. Little do they know that their own leader, Arguyle Greenwillow, is an Immortal himself. Using their inherent jealousy for his own gain.

Planning a simultaneous attack on all Immortals at a time not yet disclosed, Greenwillow hopes to permanently cripple the undying population all across the earth in one fell sweep. Making him "The One". Only after hearing this during an interrogation of a captured Watcher does Mason MacLeod decide to act.

With his small band of Immortal soldiers, he will try and stop Arguyle Greenwillow from carrying out his devious design.

What I need are some Immortals, obviously. What I also need are some enemies for the good guys. (anyone who signs up to be a good guy will also be playing the role of their enemy. so, you would actually be playing two parts until you decide to kill them off) One enemy per good guy, for five good guys, excluding myself. Finally, I will need someone to play Greenwillow.

Watchers are expendable, many of them will be killed. (in self-defense, of course) So, there is no need for anyone to sign up to be a Watcher. Except for one. There will be one permanent Watcher, who is Greenwillow's right-hand man.

I will be playing the role of Mason MacLeod and you can use my sign-up as a template for your own:

Name: Mason MacLeod

Designation: Immortal/Good Guy

Age: 257

Description: The spitting image of Duncan MacLeod. Tall. Long, black ponytail. almost always wears a long black raincoat.

Sword Description: [URL=http://www.thewebcollection.com/highlander_sword.html][u][color=blue]Dragon-Head Katana[/u][/color] [/URL]

Short Bio: Born in 1968 and having his latent Immortality awakened in the year 2004, he was disowned by his family, who feared him greatly due to his inability to die. Found and trained by Duncan MacLeod, Mason realized the reason for and the possibilities of what he had become. He now fights for only righteous causes and hopes for peace between all who quarrel over the unknown prize which awaits them at the end of The Game.

My name is Aden Nephilim of the Nephilim generation. I am a good guy but only if you are not of the Syreth dynasty. I am under 200 years of living but I have killed over one hundred Immortals. My only enemy is Syreth, the slayer of my destiny. I may look like Connor MacLeod but I am ot as dead as he is. It will be an honor serving you.
