    Halloween Bash 2012
    3rd Annual Tournament for the Strange, Scary and Macabre!

    Well folks, it's that time of year again. That time when we all pack away the flip-flops, floral print shirts, and bathing suits for another 365 days. It's that time of year when the summer heat will begin to fade, and the chilly bite of autumn will take root. And before we know it, the leaves will change and drop in some places.*And it's in this time of year that the spirits find themselves in a state of unrest. As September rolls along, it will soon give way to October, and the night of Halloween will soon be with us, bringing with it the mischiefs and horror for at least one night.*

    And so, to usher in this night in the not so distant future, The Arena invites you, fellow role-players, to participate in the 3rd Annual Halloween Bash! This will be a tournament, to be held in the Arena section of our role-playing community. However, there's one small thing to note: all characters used in the tournament MUST be related to Halloween. This means you'll be making such characters as vampires, werewolves, witches/warlocks, demonic entities, and the like. If it's something relatable to Halloween, then it's welcome to this party!​


    NOTE: THE LOGISTICS OF THE TOURNAMENT WILL BE DETERMINED AFTER WE'VE GOT A ROSTER SET!

    Rules
    • All rules mentioned in rule threads for the forum and RP section apply.
    • Don't over-power your character(s). Mid-tier powers and abilities will suffice (think general proficiency of magical spells, and such).*
    • You are permitted to change characters between rounds. Just make sure you post your character and have it approved BY THE END OF THE ROUND PRIOR.
    • If you've been in this tournament before, try something different from what you usually do.
    • While we may be fortunate enough to have a legitimate judging panel of non-combatants, the judges will be drawn mostly from the combatant roster. Be impartial. You should judge on the basis of writing, Roleplaying, and battling ability, as well as a player's adherence to the "Halloween" theme.*
    • There will be no character sheet skeleton provided. Organize it as you see fit. Just make sure you have everything in it that you intend to use.
    • Sign-Ups will run about a week from the posting of this OOC. After that, we go with what we've got.

    Kilet's three forms will serve as the "Character Switch" between battles.

    Name:
    Kilet Jan

    Alias, Nicknames, and Titles:
    Pumpkin Reaper

    Age:
    He doesn't actually have one. I mean, who really does in Halloweentown? Though, he appears to be somewhere in his early teens.

    Gender:
    Male, but extremely feminine in appearance.

    Physical Description:
    Balanced His hair is a dusty blonde, almost a gray. He tends to keep it cut short and down. For style reference, see Mello's original style in Deathnote. I know not the name of the actual hairstyle. Kilet's figure is a very lithe one indeed, often causing others to mistake him for a girl. His high-pitched voice doesn't help matters much. His garb traditionally exist's of a tall brown witch's hat combined with a black and white striped long sleeve shirt. Over that, he wears a brown overcoat that goes to just above his knees. As for leggings, he wears faded and striped skintight brown shorts with black knee socks leading into them.

    Unhinged: His striped tights go black while he loses his trenchcoat. His shirt becomes white and the sleeves go especially long with tattered ends. His hair goes VERY messy. thick leather bracelets with metal buckles are wrapped around the sleeves where his wrists should be.

    Restabilized: Somewhat the inverse of Unhinged. Tights go white, shirt goes black, and the trench goes into something reminiscent of a mage's cape or mantle.The sleeves are still long, but only as long as a regular long-sleeve ought to be. Skin-tight.

    Personality and Mentality:
    I suppose, to start with, I call him a freak. And by this, I mean he's extremely aloof. Bound to give creepy smiles, following you around until you finally are creeped out enough that you yell at him, but then he asks directions to the nearest supermarket. Popping up out of nowhere, things like that. But, that's all just a part of how he was raised - Him being a Halloweentowner and all. But other than that, he's really helpful - and just between you and me, he makes a mean pumpkin pie.

    Weapon:
    BalancedThe pumpkin staff depicted, and a rather large and wicked, black, curved carving knife. Wicked in the sense that "OHMIGODTHAT THING LOOKS SHARP AND DEADLY!"

    Unhinged Uses two Wicked Knives, which can become meat cleavers if he so chooses.

    Restabilized Uses two, albeit shorter, pumpkin staves. They're more like extended maces.

    Powers:
    Pumpkin Summoning - From the vestiges of hammerspace, Kilet can pull a pumpkin out of nowhere. Not particularly an offensive move, but fun nonetheless.

    Balanced] His usual state of mind. Bonkers as all hell, but fairly tame.
    Ignite! - Ya gotta light pumpkins somehow! Equivalent to Fira. Flame spews from the head of his pumpkin staff.
    Ghostly Chill - Ya gotta put out the pumpkin fires somehow! Essentially the equivalent to Blizzara. Same effect as the first, but with ice.
    Stopra - There's never enough time in the world.
    BoneTool - Kilet summons a weapon or tool made out of bone from the earth, or can launch them out at high speeds from the ground. Only works with soil. Weapons range from daggers to scythes and everything in between.
    Ghostly Gait - An passive ability that can be activated to give Kilet the ability to float/hover above the ground. Cannot go through walls.
    Banshee Shriek - A chilling shriek. Scares or stuns with a high chance.
    Tomb Shield - Kilet pulls a tombstone out of the ground and uses it to block an attack. They're much thicker than an average tombstone, about 4 inches thick to be exact.
    Ghoulish Trickery - A ghostly hand comes out of something inanimate or from Kilet and can be used as another arm.
    Beware the Raven, Nevermore! - Black wings come out of Kilet's back. He can use these to fly, send sharp feathers at an opponent, or cause the wings to disappear in an explosion of feathers, obscuring view.
    Mirror, Mirror - He summons a doppleganger of himself or his opponent to control. Can either be an illusion or solid, but the doppleganger posesses nothing more than a stronger body than an average human and the weapons the 'doppled' is wielding.
    Seven Years. . . - Kilet summons a rather expensive and nice looking mirror and uses it to reflect an opponent's energy based attack, or blocks an attack. Far sturdier than the tombstone.
    - Nightmare Reveal - Using the mirror, Kilet can show somebody their worst nightmare. (Uses the mirror like a screen)
    - Nightmare Reality - Allows Kilet to place the visage of the nightmare upon himself. Only works for certain fears for obvious reasons.
    Gift - Set of moves, boons granted by other Halloweentown residents that owe him favors.
    - Sally's Gift - Kilet launches a needle or a multitude of needles from his sleeves, attached by thread strong enough to hold his weight. He can also just pull a needle out. These needles range in size and thickness, from sewing to knitting needle standards.
    - Lake Monster's Gift - Gives Kilet the ability to breathe underwater. Not much use besides that.
    - Mummy's Gift - Technique that allows Kilet to summon bandages. Really, it's got no use besides wrapping wounds, but it's certainly funny to turn somebody into a mummy with.
    - Werewolf's Gift - Kilet has obtained a limited form of lycanthropy, naturally augmenting his own abilities under various stages of the moon. As long as the moon is out, Kilet can either lycanthropize his arms, legs, or head for obvious ability increases. The fuller the moon, the better the bonus.
    - Three Witches' Gift - A magical flying broomstick. Better than Nevermore because of the control, and requires no energy to use. Downside is, much more flammable.
    - Vampires' Gift - Bloodsucking ability. Allows Kilet to give himself fangs at will to drain energy/lifeforce (rather than blood) from foes. If he doesn't bite anybody, though, he suffers a form of karmic whiplash that shocks him greatly.

    Unhinged - Unhinged augments Kilet's Melee abilities and leaves him with a particularly vicious moveset. Very feral.
    Ignite! - Ya gotta light pumpkins somehow! Equivalent to Fira. Knife ignition and firebreath.
    Ghostly Chill - Ya gotta put out the pumpkin fires somehow! Essentially the equivalent to Blizzara. Same effect as the first, but with freeze. (Or, in the case of his knife, a freezing aura)
    BoneKnight - Kilet summons a weapon or armor made out of bone from the earth, or can launch them out at high speeds from the ground. Only works with soil. Weapons range from daggers to scythes and everything in between. Armor could be ribcage chestplate, bone helm, etc.
    Banshee Shriek - A chilling shriek. Scares or stuns with a high chance.
    Tomb Shield - Kilet pulls a tombstone out of the ground and uses it to block an attack. They're much thicker than an average tombstone, about 4 inches thick to be exact.
    Beware the Raven, Nevermore! - Black wings come out of Kilet's back. He can use these to fly, send sharp feathers at an opponent, or cause the wings to disappear in an explosion of feathers, obscuring view.
    Mirror, Mirror - He summons a doppleganger of himself or his opponent to control. Can either be an illusion or solid, but the doppleganger posesses nothing more than a stronger body than an average human and the weapons the 'doppled' is wielding.
    - Nightmare Reveal - Using his eyes (close range), Kilet can show somebody their worst nightmare. (Uses his eyes like a screen)
    - Nightmare Reality - Allows Kilet to place the visage of the nightmare upon himself. Only works for certain fears for obvious reasons.
    Gift - Set of moves, boons granted by other Halloweentown residents that owe him favors.
    - Werewolf's Gift - Kilet has obtained a limited form of lycanthropy, naturally augmenting his own abilities under various stages of the moon. As long as the moon is out, Kilet can either lycanthropize his arms, legs, or head for obvious ability increases. The fuller the moon, the better the bonus. In the case of Unhinged, this ability is magnified so that he constantly maintains one part with no cost to his energy. For a full moon, he can achieve full lycanthropy at the cost of rational thought.
    - Vampires' Gift - Bloodsucking ability. Allows Kilet to give himself fangs at will to drain energy/lifeforce (rather than blood) from foes. If he doesn't bite anybody, though, he suffers a form of karmic whiplash that shocks him greatly. In Unhinged, it can be combined with the Werewolf's Gift for one mean bite.

    Restabilized A much more calm and collected Kilet. Still strange and chatters about riddles, but nowhere near as crazy as the others. Made for ranged attacks.
    Ignite! - Ya gotta light pumpkins somehow! Equivalent to Fira. Flame spews from the head of his pumpkin staff. Magnification x2, and it's a flamehthrower rather than a bullet.
    Ghostly Chill - Ya gotta put out the pumpkin fires somehow! Essentially the equivalent to Blizzara. Same effect as the first, but with ice. Magnification x2, and it's a freezing cannonball rather than an ice shard.
    Stopra - There's never enough time in the world. Can only be applied to projectiles.
    BoneShot - Kilet summons a weapon made out of bone from the earth, or can launch them out at high speeds from the ground. Only works with soil. Weapons range from throwing knives and arrows to boneshrapnel cannonballs and everything in between. See Graveyard Reverse for more.
    Ghostly Gait - An passive ability that can be activated to give Kilet the ability to float/hover above the ground. Cannot go through walls.
    Banshee Echo - A projected chilling shriek. Scares or stuns with a high chance. Aimed towards one area rather than the Shriek (which affects the area around Kilet)
    Pumpkin Aegis - A shield made out of the tough skin of a pumpkin appears. As strong as leather against physical blows and is highly resistant to magic. Usually is a Buckler, but can be an all around pumpkin that swallows Kilet up.
    Graveyard Reverse - He summons a skeleton (up to four) for himself to control. The minion posesses nothing more than a brittle bone body and bows, though they can lob whatever Kilet supplies them with.
    Seven Years. . . - Kilet summons a rather expensive and nice looking mirror and uses it to reflect an opponent's energy based attack, or blocks an attack. Far sturdier than the pumpkin.
    Gift - Set of moves, boons granted by other Halloweentown residents that owe him favors.
    - Mummy's Gift - Technique that allows Kilet to summon bandages. These bandages have the ability to seal over wounds as to stop bleeding and stabilize one's condition.
    - Three Witches' Gift - A magical flying broomstick. Better than Nevermore because of the control, and requires no energy to use. Downside is, much more flammable.


    History:
    He's a side-character that crops up in my roleplays from time to time, and bears no special or significant storyline.

    I didn't have anything else Hallows related, so I decided to implement a concept that's been lingering for a while.

    EtherealSummoner Lamentations 3:22-26

    Name: Lilith
    Age: Looks as though she is 27.
    Gender: Female
    Type: Fallen Angel
    Personality: Loves to seduce men. has anger towards the earth and heavens and will fight women and even kidnap children to gain power. Desire power.
    Title: "Divine Lady", "Queen Succubus", " Seducer of Men" "Woman Destroyer" "Child's Nightmare"

    Appearance: Has a demon and human form. Her human form consists of her with Long, brown hair, different gowns that comes in crimson red, Outer Space, Onyx and licorice with the decoration of taupe or silver coloring and silver heel shoes. Her eyes is yellow but can get darker when in her demon form. In her demon form, she is more revealing, only covering her private parts. Her wings also get more violent and darker and her hair is more wild and darker.

    Power: Commands power over Wind/Storms, Death, Sickness and confusion. Her magic is strong that it can lure anyone to captivity if she so desires.Her flying ability allows her to be more evasive and agile. The reason as to how she is able to command the power of Death, sickness and confusion is through her ability of being able to seduce and lure in people, her strong ability of able to trick people. Her magic over death and sickness involves with being able to tap into the supernatural realm that leads all the virus and toxin that is carried in the air and make it more physical and visible and directing it at her opponent to make them feel ill. Death is tapped into the supernatural realm so that she can use the magic she learned from the death realm to try to inflict an instant but swift sleep.

    Name: Blaze
    Species: Hell Hound
    Forms: Wolf form, Human form
    Apperance:

    Wolf:
    [​IMG]

    Human:
    [​IMG]

    Age: He looks 15 in his human form

    Weapons:

    Human: Fire katanas (These three blades are basically the handles of a katana that are red with white diamonds, with the blade being formed by fire when Blaze channels his fire powers in swords.

    Wolf: Claws, teeth, fire

    Personality: Cunning, quick tempered and very rash are some terms people describe Blaze as. He is very self centered and prideful, though despite his bad attitude, he actually does have a soft spot, though this isn't revealed often.

    Abilities: (APPLIES TO BOTH FORMS) Blaze has a number of abilities, he can control fire, he has incredible speed, and in his human form he can turns his fists into fire and has super human strength. Despite having speed in his wolf form, he has no strength in his wolf form, and he isn't really fast in human. He can transform into either two forms, but he has to wait a while to change again.


    Human:

    Fire Fists: Blaze eclipses his fists into Red hot flames, using them for brawling.
    Blaze Uppercut: Blaze covers either his left or right arm into red flames, upper cutting his foes into the air.
    Scorching X: Blaze uses two of his Katanasand slices them in an X formation, with the blades turning into flames.
    Tri-Fire: Using all three of his katanas, Blaze slide and dices his foes, which can leave several wounds, though this move takes a lot of strength and speed, so he must rest after he uses it.

    Wolf:
    Burning Fang: Blaze's mouth turns to flames as he bites his foes.
    Inferno Charge: Blaze becomes cloaked in flames and charges towards his foes, turning into a wolf rocket, eclipsed in flames.
    Flaming Whiplash: His tail extends, turning into a thin, long whip made of fire, and strikes his foes with this whip attack.
    Hell Howl: Blaze howls and sends a sonic wave at his foes, followed by a red inferno of fire. The song wave mainly causes temporary deafness, making them think this is a pitiful attack, though when the inferno hits, his does will be sent back. Though like Tri-Fire, this takes a lot of energy, making him have to rest for a bit.

    Zacax:
    1) describe a little more about the "Fire Katanas." IE - Katanas coated in flames? Fire formed into blade-like forms in his hands?

    2) I'm assuming that "Hell Howl" is a sonic wave accompanied by fire? Just making sure that, despite your wording, you understand that a sonic wave is not simply made of fire. Also, how powerful is this sonic wave?


    Summoner:
    Give me a little more detail as to how she controls death, sickness and confusion.

    My I just inquire then how he wields three blades?
     
  11. FON

    FON A Lazy Comic Artist

    By the handle of course.

    Though when performing Tri-Fire, he wield two katanas in each of his hand, one on the left and the other on the right, while holding the third with his mouth (Inspired by Roanora Zoro).

    It's just like wielding regular katanas, though the blades are formed by fire.
