The Legacy of the Tournament of Champions (OOC, Open)

[Olthar]

Anyone who thinks a corpse, animate or not, is a sexual being needs some help. Or has read way too many vampire romance novels.

Honestly, I thought you were referring to the biologial bits.

Well, undead tend not to have much in the way of biology, either.

Oozes are literal collections of slime that don't even reproduce and merely emerge through spontaneous generation. Even the robots are arguably more sexual than that.

I mean, sure, reproduction is out of the question, but Thist did learn enough social skills to be more sexual than Data.

I think you're conflating sex with romance here. I'm not doubting Thist's ability to form relationships, but all oozes are intrinsically asexual. No amount of social skill will change that.

How about any amount of shapeshifting ability?

The kind of shapeshifting an ooze can do is a purely superficial thing and has no affect on whatever passes for ooze biology. That's why, in game terms, it has no affect on your stats or faction.

I mean, sure, but I just figured out that if you can shapeshift into a person, with all the limbs required, what's stopping you from shapeshifting other anatomical features, even if you're not replicating the biological functions. All that's necessary is to shapeshift a stick or a hole, none of the chemical or plumbing aspects are required.

Sure, but simply having parts isn't enough to make one a sexual being, just like with undead. Or kids. An ooze could make an organ but would utterly lack the biology, instincts, or desire to use it.

Does it really matter? It's just an RP character.

Additionally I would note that Winthrop enjoys a fair bit of wenching and whoring.

It's pretty far down the list of pleasures, but definitely there.

I mean, the desire comes from Thist's ability to form relationships.

What else is there to talk about?

Sorry. I'm literally Hitler.

Sorry. I'm literally Hitler.

So the rumors were true, and you really did flee to Argentina. But, damn. You must be super old by now.

The blood of the innocents is a great anti-aging remedy, turns out.

Ah, that would explain why wrinkle cream is so expensive.

Shelling out for the genuine baby instead of the imitation baby is where the price really gets inflated.

[Olthar]

I would really like more players, but it seems we're not getting any. Maybe I should make a character, myself.

@ Lab: You're mixing up the different rooms. Yours is not flooded and also does not have the chicken dispenser. Those are only parts of Thist's room. Also, undead don't need to eat, either.

Ohhh, well I imagine that eating is still a rather enjoyable pastime.

Character Name: Jonna Moonborn
Faction: Monsters
Gender: Female

Stats:
Offense: 6
Defense: 6
Speed: 4
Special: 2

Talents:
Stealth: 3

Equipment: Ragged clothes, a totem amulet of bone and twine
Personality: Jonna is a wild free spirit who lives by herself deep within the untamed lands. She loves both the freedom and danger of loving outside of civilization, and she admires the harsh beauty of nature. She vociferously supports the separation of the factions and is especially hateful of the humans.
Backstory: Jonna is a werewolf who was born in a small, nameless village located in a chilly forest on the northern shore of the untamed lands. She spent her youth playing with the other children and learning to fight and hunt from her parents. When she was barely ten years old, a band of human invaders settled outside the forest and began chopping it down. When they learned of the village, they burned it to the ground and slaughtered everyone. Jonna, the only survivor, was forced to flee into the wilds. She thrived on her own and, many years later, returned to take her vengeance on the human settlement.

Sorry, had work yesterday and passed out as soon as I got home. Have work in an hour and a half, so I won't be able to post until later tonight or tomorrow.

[The Knockout Gun Gals]

Character Name: Thist
Faction: Ooze
Gender: Genderfluid

Stats:
Offense: 4
Defense: 4
Speed: 4
Special: 4

Talents:
Shapeshifting: 4

Equipment: Deez Nuts, a bow and arrow, a hunting knife, and a walking stick.
Personality: Thist is very curious, albeit cautious. They are usually shy and reserved, fearing being discovered to be an ooze, only letting those they trust know. Their most frequent "solidsona" is an elf, due to their more androgynous features, though they also have been known to shift into a few of the other solid factions from time to time, obviously being discreet about it.


Backstory:

Thist used to be an ordinary ooze, just rolling over the terrain of the Eternal Forest and gobbling up whatever animated protein source they came across, until one day they rolled into a human village. Curiosity got the better of them, and they stayed, hiding in various nooks and crannies (or, simply shifting to blend in with their surroundings), observing human customs, and listening to the language. Eventually, they came to be very fluent in human language. One day, while rolling around outside the village, they noticed a human hunting party heading for them. With little time to think and no time to escape, they shifted into the form of a human child.

Shockingly, the ruse worked, and the party believed they were a human. Unexpectedly for Thist, the hunters, fearing for the wellbeing of what they believed to be a child, they took Thist into the village, where they were raised by an infertile woman named Carlotta and her husband Mitch. They were so overjoyed to finally have a child that they didn't even care it was an ooze (after they discovered Thist was an ooze, of course). Carlotta and Mitch were great parents, all things considered. They coached Thist in social skills, kept their secret from the rest of the village, and did all the things good parents are supposed to do. That was 30 years ago. Over time, they moved away, explored the world (and themself), and came back to Carlotta and Mitch's house every year or so, until they started to get infirm. Caring for their adopted parents until the end, Thist decided the best way to honor their memories would be to enter the Tournament. So they did.

Accepted.

So far, 100% of the players are playing as sexless creatures. I wonder if this is the first time that has ever happened?

But I made my undead character a female.

Will post tomorrow.

Character Name: Douglas the Dimetrodon
Faction: Dinosaur
Gender: Male

Stats:
Offense: 9
Defense: 5
Speed: 4
Special: 2

Talents:
Useful barking:1
Regeneration: 1


Equipment: Big pointy teeth, big pointy claws, a sail thingmy running along his back used either for regulating body temperature or attracting mates.
Personality: A mammal-like reptile who is less-aggressive than King Rex probably.
Backstory: Douglas was found and named by a trio of foolhardy human mages on an exotic hiking trip while on break one springtime at their magical university. They were a bit drunk at the time and offered him some of their rations they had brought with them when the great reptile stumbled into their camp one morning. This was enough to satisfy his hunger, and the group used their amazing intellects to teach him to bark in understandable ways, heal himself a bit, as well as roll over on command. They smuggled him back home when Spring Break was done to keep him as a mascot for their school since the previous one was stolen by their fueutbol rivals.
