Sign Up The Games: Conspiracy Begins [pg13]

[Muad'Dib]

[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]This RP is (or [i]will[/i] be) rated pg13, mostly for violence (imagine that) and swearing, though mature themes (OK, OK, sexual content) may appear. If that doesn't bother you, then keep on reading. We go now to Channel 5...

[i]-It's a beautiful day today, with a high of...[/i]

Well, we'll skip ahead a little...

[i]- And for all our Game fans out there, remember the finals are starting tomorrow, that's right, tomorrow! All of the best players that fought through the last two months will be facing off over two weeks to see who's really the best! The top ten include some of this year's and last year's favorites, such as Terra Nova, Orion, and Grinder. We also have a rising star of the game this year, who goes by the name of 'Azarus'. Aparently he's taking the tournament by storm. We'll have to see how it turns out. --[/i]

Now over to the sports network...

[i]- Well Mike, how about yesterday's fight?
- Yeah Bill, a real fan favorite. The sparks were flying!
- We can use that literally too!
- Indeed we can Bill. Well, as you all know, the finals for the Game are starting up tomorrow, and we're all waiting to find out what the line up will be.
- This year we have a multitude of Game titans, including last year's favorite Orion, and the champion from two years ago, Dred-Israfel.
- This will certainly be a tournament to remember Bill...[/i]

Now, if you haven't caught the drift already, let's do soem clarifying. In the modern world, most sports have been drown out compared to a recent invention that we like to call, the 'Virtual Contact Arena'. The VCA was first invented as a possible research tool for studying human and animal anatomy, but a certain sports company saw great potential in the device. The VCA scans a biological form put over it and will design an image of the user's choosing around that form. The special thing is, it becomes completely solid, and recent low-grav technology allows the user to hover and 'fly' arounbd the space within the VCA's limited area. The company, now known as VCA Corp, constucted one massive VCA, and began work on how to turn it into a sport.

It's potential for non-lethal combat was recognized very quickly. VCA Corp now has a total of six arenas across America, and holds a grand tournament every year. The Game, as it is known, has ecome extremely popular among every kind of citizen, and people from around the world are welcome to participate and watch.

You will play a contender in the tournament. One of the top twenty (though I'll accept no more than ten... it would get too crowded) who have made it this far and intend to go home with the grand prize... a whooole lotta cash.

However, this year is different. There are rumors circulating about some kind of underground conspiracy to affect the games. No one knows how, and it may not even hapen, but it's got the Game officials nervous.

So come on and kick some a... *ahem* butt.

[font=times new roman][size=2][color=orange][b]Name:[/b] Willow Danielle Thompson
[b]Arena Name:[/b] Whisper
[b]Gender:[/b] Female
[b]Age:[/b] 19
[b]Appearance:[/b] Standing 5'6", she wieghs 152 lbs. due to fine, firm, toned muscles. She has a very tan complextion, and very slender arms. She has a sharp face, with high defined cheel bones. Her hair is mid-back length; the color is chestnut(dark brown wih gold streaks), wavy, and thick. Her eyes are a medium grey color, with a witchy black rim around the iris. She is seen in many outfits, but usually she is seen wearing the following: a pair of skin tight, flare legged, black leather pants, a black [url=http://www.wetseal.com/images/style/3347242310_lg.jpg]Playboy tank[/url], a black zip-up hooded jacket, and a pair of black Nike tennis shoes(oh, and black ankle socks). She has four ear peircings in each ear: three in the upper cartelidge(a jade stud, a silver hoop, and a aquamarine stud) and two in the lobe(medium sized silver hoop, and jade stud). She wears a silver choker with a pentacle on it, and purple beads.
[b]Arena appearance:[/b] She looks pretty much the same, except she wears a pair of short black denim shorts, a tank(black), fingerless gloves, and knee-high lace up boots(black). Her hair is also up in a high ponytail.
[b]Abilities and/or weapons:[/b] She fights with her fists. ANd feet. She is one whoop-a** fighter. She uses many knives, and ocasionally she uses a 6' whip with a metal tip. She is called Whisper because she can make anyone she chooses fall silent, or atleast tone them to a whisper. She also is able to emmit a high pitched sound that would shatter human hearing - if it was outside their head.s
[b]Personality:[/b] She... varies. Usually she seems bubbly, or friendly, sometimes shy. She doesn't give out trust easily, and when she does, don't betray her, or you've got a wild animal out for blood. Rarely does one see a soft smile come from her, as she usually wears a smirk, or no expression. She has a short temper, but when she looses her temper, she is frighteningly calm, and her eyes never betray emotion. On the inside, she is a fragile girl who wants to be held. She wants someone to care for her. But she fights the emotion, fearin it to be her weakness. She has a phobia of hieghts.
[b]Bio:[/b] Born to abusive parents, Willow never really had a life. Her father stole it from her when she was young, stealing her virginity at the tender age of ten. Her mother came home drunk every night, as did her father, and her father beat he rmother. Luckily for Willow, they both died in a car crash, when Willow was eleven. She went to live with her Godmother, who was gentle, loving, and would never raise her hand unless to defend Willow. Calista(Willow's Godmother) was the only person the girl loved. The rest of her family was dead, and she had no friends.

They lived in peace for three years, and then for a couple more. Calista taught Willow how to drive, and helped her with her job. Then it happened - Calista was diagnosed with brain cancer, and died the summer Willow turned 17. Willow lives by herself, and trusts her heart to no-one. She learned fighting to defend herself from her father, and I pity those whose wrath falls upon them. She hopes, though, that she can find someone that she can love... but she keeps thinking of throwing away that dream, for she never finds someone.

This good, Jacob-kun? ^.^[/font][/size][/color]

[Muad'Dib]

[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Ah! Very good Love! Future joiners should use Goddess's sign-up for reference. Speaking of reference, for future reference, it is recomended that your character have at least one weapon. Fist fighting may be cool, but you might get your *** kicked.

Now here's mine...

Name: Micheal Lazlo Denraed (yes, Lazlo is a real name!)
Arena Name: Azarus
Gender: male
Age: 20
Appearence: Micheal is 5'11'' and appears rather scrawny when not in the VC-Arena. He has brown hair (or dirty blonde if you prefer) that almost comes down to his neck. His features are soft and innocent, and his smile is nearly irresistable to the weak-minded. His skin is a very light tan, and his posture often flimsy and eluding. He has bright blue eyes and a spotty complexion. Micheal wears a grey-ish hoody, a white shirt underneath it, baggy jeans, over-used shoes, and often a blue cap (usualy backwards).
Arena Appearence: He has a long-sleeved, white shirt, large, almost mechanicle looking red 'gloves', thick black pants, boots, and a sheath across his back.
Abilities and Weapons: He is known in the arena as one of the fastest players. He can unsheath and resheath his sword almost before you see it. This is conditioned from two years of practice in a VCA unit. As mentioned above, his weapon is a thin sword (it's thickness is not very important, as most substances made in a VCA are nearly indestrucable) sheathed across his back. His sword style is a combination of wide arching motions and quick, curved, slashes.
Personality: Micheal is best described as 'bouncy', especialy for a guy. His smile is his face almost 24/7, and he loves to flirt when not fighting in the VCAs. He is very open to people, accept about his recent (past three years) past. In the arena (or any fighting for that matter) his eyes can turn firey, and his expression cold. He more or less enjoys the publicity of being a VCA contender, but wants peace a lot of the time. Life is taking an uncertain turn for him.
Bio: Micheal L. Denraed was born to Sarah and Harrold Denraed, in a peaceful part of teh suburbs around nice people. He got a good education, and enjoyed most of his youth. At fifteen, his father had a heart attack and died in a hospital bed. This wasn't very good for his mother, who began to drink, though was still a good mother to him. EVerything went downhill from there, and he found himself wandering around the city, lookign for something, though he didn't know what. At seventeen, he was captivated by the Game, and started training with an independent company that provided his own small VCA to perfect his style and his appearence. The rest of what happened in the last three years is for him to know, and you to guess.[/COLOR]

[Ryu_Sakura]

[FONT=Fixedsys][COLOR=deeppink]Name: Alice Malice
Arena Name: Bubblegum Pink
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Appearance: (See attachments, sorry, I really like them and felt there was no way to describe?)
Arena appearance: She basically looks the same, but she normally has a royal blue short dress (down to her knees) with slits up the sides up to her lower hips. The design on the dress is bubblegum pink (hence the name) sakura flowers. Tying back her already short hair is a dark pink ribbon that holds a bit of her hair up on one side. On her feet she wears white toe socks and pink sandals.
Abilities and/or weapons: She is very fast and lightweight enabling her to jump to great heights. Her weapon range consists of shurikens and mini explosives. Carries around gunpowder, matches and other tools for making explosives.
Personality: Alice when in school or with friends is very? odd. She likes books, politics and stuff? She also happens to be a smart mouth. She doesn?t show feelings very often, but when she does, it?s usually a twisted evil, like enjoying others pain, and stuff.
Bio: Well, she has a few great friends, her mother and father sent her to a foster home when she was little? she blew up her school in 6th grade, she likes manga, anime, and politics? Yeah, and she HATES little kids.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[Onix]

Name: Zeos Uchiyama
Arena Name: Zeos the Night Fire
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Appearance: Zeosn is on the taller side, and of a lean build. He never wears anything besides t-shirts (dark colors like black, blue, and dark red) and jeans. He is usually seen wearing either a leather jacket or a silky black over-shirt with blue flames lining the bottom. His hair is silver and shaggy, his bangs hanging in his gray eyes. He also tends to wear sunglasses.
Arena appearance: Similar to his regular appearance, but a few key differences. First of all, his arms have become partly coated with an organic-metalloid substance, covering his hands and wrists completely, just covering the backs of his upper arms. Also, his wardrobe changes to a black leather duster, no shirt (showing some more organic metal) and baggy black pants. The organic steel has spread to one eye, covering part of his face and replacing the eye with a red cybernetic one. His back is mostly organic metalloid, with two wing bones of steel jutting out of his shoulders.
Abilities and/or weapons: His key weapon are the blood-red energy blades that extend from his wrists and wing-bones. He can also utilize energy blasts of a similar type. He's very fast and agile, as well, playing for quick hit-and-run strikes with a brutal finish.
Personality: Zeos is cocky and sharp-tounged, an egomaniac if there ever was one. He's always ready with a snide comment or smart remark, a smartass to the core. He is the master of trash-talk, the king of insults, and a God among sarcasm. He lives for the fight, if only for the opportunity to reduce his enemy to a quivvering mass through his bitter words. However, he is very honorable and sticks up for his allies and friends. Though all alliances do break down on the battle field.
Bio: Zeos has lived for VCA ever since he first entered the arena. His skills are unmatched by most, and he has dominated the arenas up until the tournament. He came from a fairly well-off family that has supported him, monetarily at least, in his conquest. However, his family is rarely seen, provoking rumors that they don't care. It's a sore-spot in his organic armor, and any who touch on the subject invoke his greatest onslaught.

How could I possible stay out of this? Zeos the Night Fire...shall own you all.

[Muad'Dib]

[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]OK, pretty good guys. Ryu_Sakura, first off, the attachments didn't show up, so you probably just forgot to add them. Also, I'd like a little more detail in your bio... after all, it's your life.

Xion, very good. Creative appearence, I must say.

Kitty, yours is good overall, though are you sure you want to stick with a quarterstaff? A wood one? It would most likely be annihilated. But whatever.

Unborn Lord Xion and Kittychanann are accepted, and Ryu_Sakura will be as soon as you get your appearence and bio.

This is really enough to start with, though the sign-ups will remain open... now here's a list of a few of the other top twenty contenders...

Terra-Nova - Terra, whose real name is Rei Ishimuta, hails from Japan. She is a favorite among many female fans, sporting a javeline-like weapon, and a very realistic VCA appearence. She came in second last year in the fight versus Orion.

Orion - A VCA veteran, Orion's real name is Sam Gregin, he hails from Russia. His VCA body is flashy and efficient, sporting armor over most of his torso and two rather large 'beam cannons' as he likes to call them. He is the champion from last year, and is determined to win the title again.

Grinder - Grinder's real name is James Hawkins. Grinder is all American, and has a personality to fit it. He's a recent addition to the Arenas, starting up last year. This year he's made it to the finals, leaving smoking opponents in his wake. In the Arena, he is covered with metalic plating all over, in shades of black and blue.

Dred-Israfel - His real name is Timothy Arnok, and he hails from England. He is one of the longest lasting VCA participants in it's history. His style is ruthless and unforgiving. He is the champion from two years ago. Dred-Israfel's VCA appearence is a sight to behold. He has small black wings (witch are actually useless) and a long, flowing, Japanese style outfit. His weapon looks like a cross between a spear and a long gun barrel. The 'barrel' emits a blast wave capable of leveling a brick wall.

Let the games begin![/COLOR]

[ColourDeaf]

Name: Tobias Morgans

Arena Name: Maul

Gender: Male

Age: 21

Appearance: His face is long and angular, sharp featured and bearing a distinct likeness to a serpent's. He wears his dark brown hair in a short, functional ponytail, which he keeps slick and well-kept, and his thin eyes are an incredibly dark brown. His regular attire is a buisness suit for normal occassions, or for more casual affairs, a dress shirt with half the buttons undone and a pair of tight jeans.

Arena appearance: In the Arena his outfit is a rot of colour, piecemeal, with some parts made of tight leather, others made of seemingly rags. It's hard to describe the outfit, as it seems to change slightly before each of the matches, the only bit staying definitie is the legend "Hurt Me" embossed on his right sleeve, although the material it is printed on changes regularly. His hair is long and bright red, black ribbons running haphazardly through it, and a black cap is stuck on his head. His hands are wrapped in bandages, his eyes stare out bright green, eyes that seem to bore into a person's very soul, and his face is twisted into a permament sneer. He carries himself low to the ground despite his tall, lanky body, his back slightly hunched, as if he's about to pounch at any moment.

Abilities and/or weapons: Maul is the worst nightmare to of a fighter who depends on weapon skills to win. Anyone who dares wield a weapon against him better make use of it quickly, because the oppurtunity won't last long. Maul is the best back-breaker, limb-twister and neck-snapper the Arena has to offer. A grappler of the highest order, he wears no armour so he can maximise his fighting ability, and he uses no weapons to achieve his gruesome victories. He seems to be blessed with near cockroach-like longevity, and opponents should fear his extreme hardiness.

Personality: Maul seems to carry himself with an air of invulnerability. When it comes to the simple pleasures in life, he beleieves that the world exists for his convenience. If something can be taken by force, he feels that it must naturally belong to him, and rarely does anyone openly oppose this concept. In battle, he wants to be close enough to his opponent to taunt them with whispers as he crushes the life out of them, to smell their fear, and to watch the despair creep over their face as they realise how useless their weapons are in a grapple.

Bio: Tobias grew up in a loving household, his family stuck close together, his parents loved himself and he had many, many friends.
He, however, hated it.
He hated the suburban prison he lived in, he hated the buckled-down Christian household, and he loathed the Brady-Bunch attitude his parents seemed to carry around with them like a stench. In public, he was the epitome of charm and politeness, but in his mind he seethed with the idea of pain and misery, and tried to escape the world the choked him like a cloying mist. As he discovered VCA, he grew almost obsessed with it, taking out all the frustration and anger he felt on his opponents. He had no formal training, and his attacks were simple instinct. He simply knew how to hurt people, and he was good at it.
