The Authority Trials (Signup / All Tech)

[Eztobrughri]

^{Applications Remaining: 49}

Though Eztobrughri is embroiled in Conflict (Like always), The Authority Trials will commence yet again. This will be a semi-annual Event, on the 21st every 2 Months at a different Location with, hopefully, new Combatants. Here's some background:

Ughvarlians, as is well known, are Honorbound Militarists that love nothing more than a good Fight. To keep massive brawls out of the Streets, The House of Authority created 'The Authority Trials', a massive Arena Battle where Houses would prove their Honor and Power by fighting and, hopefully, winning. It has since become a highly-anticipated Event and a piece of Eztobrughri culture as popular as Football in America. Even the most Pacifistic and Caring of of Eztobrughri's society know that there is no more enjoyable Event in the Galaxy.

There will only be one Victor, and 49 Dead. Who will emerge Victorious?

This Round, the Location will be provided by the House Of Authority itself. Our Arena? The Shine of Gin-a!

The Shrine of Gin-a, Barkush, Eztobrughri (House of Void Cultists)

The Shrine of Gin-a is a temple dedicated to the now-deceased Prophetess of the House Of Void Cultists. It features a large Courtyard, the giant Open-Air Temple, and a large Town surrounding it. Your Challenger may lose themselves in the cool Island air, the soft sounds of ancient chants lost in the sound of the unending Rain, the winding Streets and the serenity of the Holy Town surrounding the ancient Temple-but remember that even though this is a place of Faith and Calm, this is still also a brutal arena.

RULES
1. Your Challenger cannot be too OP. The main idea of this is a fair and enjoyable experience, not your all-encompassing God Of Death coming down and obliterating all of the other 49 Challengers.
2. If you apply, stick to it! Don't chicken out or leave us on read-this'll be fun!
3. Don't be a sore loser. When and if your Character dies, don't get upset. You have an extremely low chance at winning this. Your Challenger is going to die sooner or later.
4. No Camping. If you just chill on some secluded rooftop and have a snack, you're not going to win. Even if you're the last Alive, you didn't fight for it. Your Challenger will be put into one of the House Of Authority's real Trials, and trust me, they won't get out.
5. Magic, non-OP Superpowers, and advanced Tech is absolutely allowed. However, you need to keep in mind we could have contestants from the Roman Times. Be fair.
6. No Scanning or Tracking. You must go dark for this challenge. And, knowing where everyone is ruins the fun.
7. Be Original! Boring Characters make for boring game play. Get wild with you Challenger!
8. The most important of all, have fun!

Quick question: is this like PUBG where the objective is to be the last one standing? Also, does it have to be to the death? Why not just stick to defeating instead of killing?

[The Rapture Republic]

Tagged. Depending on whether or not a friend of mine wants to participate with me in this roleplay as a team effort.

Quick question: is this like PUBG where the objective is to be the last one standing? Also, does it have to be to the death? Why not just stick to defeating instead of killing?

Yes, it is precisely like PUBG just without a shrinking Battlefield. The 'To-The-Death' part just makes things more interesting. That, and people are more likely to end up killing each other than knocking them down and saying 'I win!' which could lead to complaints and people saying 'but I'm still going strong!' which then could lead to people loosing Interest. It makes things way less complicated for me, and way less finicky for all of you.

I was going to apply, but the "kill or be killed" rule is a turn-off. I'll probably think of something.

[Vextress Hive]

Hey would it be in character for the House Of Authority to kidnap dangerous creatures from various worlds to fight in the trials? if so, i would play as a warrior drone from the Vextress Hive. Now for him to keep his sentience you would need a "queen" drone near him to keep him connected to the hive mind. This queen can just be locked up somewhere near the battlefield, and would not actually do any fighting itself.

We could station the Queen somewhere, yes, and small things like pets (Like a Falcon or a Horse or something) are more than welcome too.

[Vextress Hive]

Name: Warrior Drone
Origin: The Vextress Hive
Tech Level: Medieval
Weapons: Spear, scythe like front legs, mouth.
Equipment: Heavy plated armor, exoskeleton.
Abilities:The warrior is encased in heavy steel armor, which alongside its hardy exoskeleton, provides a massive amount of protections. Even battle rifles would have a little trouble bringing it down. Alongside this, it is a expert spear-man "as it has a entire civilizations worth of experience, because it shares a mind with every other warrior of the hive" it can also use its two front legs to stab at downed enemies, and its mouth to attack as well.

Story/Background: One of untold millions of drones from the the deep Vexan Jungles, this warrior drone was kidnapped by some unknown entity "it could either be the House of Authority, or a third party" to fight in the famed intergalactic Authority Trials, kidnapped alongside one of its worm like queens "as whoever kidnapped the warrior would have seen it lose its mind without a queen nearby" The warrior, not having a mind of its own is just one small part of a gargantuan hive mind. Its goal is nothing but shear survival, it will do the best that it can to follow the biological directives that have kept its species alive so long. It will try its best to survive, feed itself, free the queen, and find a way home. While the warrior is sentient "as it is connected to a sentient hive mind" it is incapable of speech, and will see all other forms of life as either a threat, or as food.

[Shwe Tu Colony]

I was going to apply, but the "kill or be killed" rule is a turn-off. I'll probably think of something.

Make a clone of the character or say they came back from the dead, but never explain it. As for if I'm interested in this roleplay, I'll send in a location application (I was earlier considering a different one, but then realized it would take too long to do it). Oh, & can Sekka Verndara's Two Seas Trading Company advertise/sell concessions?

Where?: Mac's Mansion in the forests near Mount Fuji, Japan in the Onmyoji Universe (Ayakashi Ghost Guild/Otogi Spirit Agents universe)
Weather: Generally cool temperatures & moderate humidity, maybe rain
Environment: In a ruined mansion surrounded by a forest (if desired, the Psytrines are willing to set up borders to prevent contestants from leaving)
Description:
Mac's Mansion is an abandoned mansion that had been owned by Mac, a universe's god of the mind & its creator's avatar, while he was working for a Japanese ghost guild that was best described as oriental ghostbusters. However, Mac eventually abandoned the manor in a fit of rage & never looked back, leaving it for whatever "daemons" (in truth, they were a diverse cast of spirits & mythological figures, some good, some bad, & some spirits of weapons) he had befriended throughout his journey. Almost all of the residents have left, with the exception of the spirit of a pocket watch, who has refused to leave out of what most assume to be nostalgia. Mac is aware of the existence of the mansion & has visited it, but hasn't done much about it himself.

The house itself is a grand one on top of a hill with a small pond that pours over the hill into the nearby lake. While nature has taken over most of the mansion, with the portal near the door having been consumed by various plants, the walls, furniture, & even the roof have managed to survive, although the walls & flooring are greatly damaged & filled with holes, some of which having become ponds by this point. On the floor with the entrance door, one would enter into the ruins of a lobby that stretches forward towards two sets of stairs. From this room, one can continue moving forward to the stairs, move left (facing away from the door) for the dining room, or move right for the kitchen. All of these rooms had clearly once been sumptuous, being decorated with vases, paintings, & painted white, gold, & pink — the trio of colors most appropriate for someone like Mac.

If one goes downstairs, they will encounter Japanese-styled rooms, some of which are surprisingly empty. This whole floor had contained the rooms Mac used for his work with the guild, the empty ones being used for summoning or enhancement circles that he would have to magically summon himself. The rest of the rooms had been used for storage, repairs, medical rooms, communication, & other such services that would be necessary for effective combat or warfare. This floor also produced electrical & magical energy using a semi-magical nuclear reactor that fused, split, & combined atoms with a crossbreed of magic & science in order to create monumental amounts of energy. However, the reactor had been taken by Mac & given to Psytronius, who — while unable to produce electricity out of it — have used the device to power their floating city & be able to rapidly produce their infamous war machine of Magnum Opus: War whenever someone destroys it.

If one goes upstairs, they will encounter a hallway going straight & intersected by another hallway perpendicular to it. In these corridors are doors leading to many bedrooms that had clearly been styled in hundreds of different cultural styles despite their decay. If one continues to go straight, they will find the only occupied room (the occupant is, of course, the spirit of the pocket watch) on their left, with this room being decorated in a style reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. However, trying to go down the other two hallways will lead to endless corridors wherein one will eventually find themselves back by either room 300 or 301 on the right part & 800 or 801 on the left if they turn back after going down the hallway, even if they have walked for several hours. The bedrooms in these endless hallways will begin & count on even numbers in the right wing & begin & count on odd numbers in the left wing, & anyone who looks back & between rooms 300 or 301 & 800 or 801 will see that the space between the beginning of the seemingly infinite corridor & the normal one has seemingly folded.

These hallways are semi-existent illusions that exist in a fold of space that Mac had created.

[The Frozen Forest]

Name: Nikita "Wendigo" Byko
Age: 17
Origin: The Western Territories Region | The Frozen Forest
Tech Level: His Home Village: Medieval (800's AD) | The Rest of the Nation: Modern
Themes: Wendigo | Exordium Project

-2x Norse Blades (As seen in the picture)
-1x Norse-Scraeling Battle Axe
Equipment:

-1x Carrying Sack
Skills: Tracking | Dressing and Setting Wounds | Hunting | Knife-Combat | Trapping | Evasion | Climbing | Swimming |
Story/Background:

Nikita was born on the Salmion Tribal Norse Reservation in the Western Territories of The Frozen Forest. The Salmion, along with five other nearby Tribes are entirely unmonitored, untaxed and barely contacted except to maintain amiable relations. His father was a Chief-Hunter and his mother one of the local squaws, he was destined to live a violent and short life. He had no brothers and only one sister by a different mother but the same father, and its with this sister than he bonded with. Being around the same age they were quick friends, often sneaking out of camp to hunt elk with primitive spears, tribals games were often brutal and when they came upon one hapless baby they slit its throat and brought it back to the tribe.

When Nikita was ten years old his father began to take him on the more professional hunts. Throughout his childhood there had always been food in the Tribe Hall but a famine had struck, they needed the extra hand. These hunts were savage and during one particular encounter he was struck in the head by a Elk, leaving him unconscious for days. When he finally awoke his Tribe was surprised to find that he had changed. Not all but most of his empathy had disappeared, he become much more focused on his hunting, becoming the most successful hunter in the tribe. The downside was that he tended to show no mercy towards the animals he killed, often taking more than what was necessary for the Tribes survival.

He earned the nickname Wendigo not much later for his brutality and lack of love for anyone, even himself. To his family it seemed that he survived merely for the purpose of surviving, he showed no interest in girls and resisted their advances. Conversation with him had disappeared, he would respond mainly with nods, grunts or silence, even he doesn't remember the sound of his own voice. Earlier in the year his tribe had been raided by the Tamchusu and many were killed. He responded with a raiding party of survivors and exacted revenge in a horrible fashion, brutally raiding and destroying their entire camp, slaughtering most of the tribe including women and children. For the first time in their history, the Tamchusu contacted the Frozen Forestrian Government. Prior treaties had allowed inter-tribal warfare on conditions that it only pertained to small amounts of violence, the killing of Women and Children was an unforgivable offense. When teams came to the tribe with the intent of capturing him, he disappeared.

It took advanced technology and elite scouting units two months to track him down in the frozen wastes of the Tundra. He succeeded and killing two armed men with his knives before being apprehended. Originally it was determined that he would be put to death, that is until the Tamchusu appealed for him. Despite the horrific slaughter he had imposed on them, they found it was dishonorable to put him down like a dog. It was decided that he would be given another chance, The Authority Trials. Should he survive he will be allowed to reenter his tribe (As a hero), should he fail it is hoped that he will die fighting and bring honor to his tribe and the justice to the Tamchusu. His sister has made her appeals, begging for his life to be spared but it wasn't to be. He would either win The Authority Trials or die. He has not expressed fear or anger over this decision, seeming to understand the blood that was to come. As calculated as he was on his hunts, he consented.

Where?: The Ivarson Tundra | The Frozen Forest | Planet Earth
Weather: Depending on the time of the year, it can generally be said to be dry and freezing cold. Rain, when it comes often turns the ground into a hellscape of mud, slosh and frozen dirt.
Environment: The Ivarson Tundra is a unique area of the Frozen Forest. It is surrounded entirely by mountains which can only be bypassed with good climbing gear, apart from a single narrow opening. A river runs through the center year round and is a common place for the plethora of species to gather. The Ground is a combination of frozen dirt, rock and in some rare spaces, soft grass. Plants are few and far between, edible ones even less so. In a few areas of the Tundra there are man-made structures, usually shacks that once belonged to criminals and traitors.
Description:
A brutal place for a human to survive. None have done so, and it is often called the Viking Castaway, in the past Criminals, Traitors and other horrible members of society were sent here to die. The practice ended seventy years ago, though to last to live within died that same year. Surrounded by an impenetrable circle of mountains, only a single viable pass exists which is guarded at all times by elite Frozen Forestrian Troops. A single river runs through the tundra, providing fresh, clean water to the multitude of animals species living within. These animals include Frozen Forestrian Grizzly Bears, Wolves, Foxes, Mountain Lions, Lynxes, Elk, Caribou and Moose. Through the river Salmon and other fish species travel through to reach their breeding grounds on the other end of the mountains.

It is not uncommon for unholy, unnatural sounds to be heard throughout the Tundra when night falls. Many believe it to be haunted by the spirits of those who died there, as well as more dangerous nature spirits, including Wendigo. These are of course unsubstanciated, though no one can deny the feeling of dread suffered by those who are fortunate enough to be allowed to visit. Resources are rare here, and survival often means constant competition with the wildlife and the weather. Sunlight, when available is dull and often-times this in combination with the howling wind can lead to a sensation of being watched or stalked, insanity was commonplace.

[Kowani]

Name: Lucás Odom/26831
Origin: Allied States of Kowani
Tech Level: PMT
Weapons: Extendable plasma katana, magnetic shurikens, poison darts, camouflage, plasma knives (throwing), paralyzing darts, various lethal and non lethal poisons, electronic-charged darts, EMP grenades.
Equipment: Reflex and strength boosting armor, secondary power pack, climbing claws (retractable), lucky charm. The armor’s visor contains infrared and x-ray options, as well as heat vents.
Abilities: Acrobatics, poison-making, stealth, swordfighting, knife fighting, stealth, running, tracking.
Story/Background: When the Kowani government needed assassins, instead of training new soldiers from nothing, they began a new part of the vat-growing program. They began to create humans with better reflexes, higher lung capacity, greater physical resistance, a super-soldier. But this was not enough. They then worked on a suit designed to help this soldier even more. Most models have no names, using only their serial numbers, and a name Incase of infiltration. 26831 was defective, and is being sent to the Authority Trials to see if he can be salvaged. As 26831 has lived his entire life in the government’s facilities, he is not used to social norms. He knows more than just death, but very little.

[Ascion]

Name: Na Ro Ho / N-1 / Naro
Origin: The Empire of Ascion
Tech Level: PMT
Weapons:

• Combat Dagger(s)
• Energy Sword
• Directed Energy Rifle
• Sniper Rifle
• Directed Energy Hand Gun
• Rocket Launcher
• Explosives (frag grenade, smoke grenade, flashbang, pulse grenade)

Equipment:

• Feather-Weight Armoured Exosuit (disguised as normal clothes, and absorbs kinetic energy to some certain limits until a bullet can go through the suit)
• Motion-Tracker
• Med-Gel (a medical substance used to heal wounds instantly in emergency)
• A small box of Enhancement Pill (a special-made pill used to enhance Naro's abilities and physiology by 50 times for a temporary time)

Abilities:

• Marksmanship
  Naro excels in marksmanship and long-distance combat, and he is also an excellent sniper. Naro possesses incredible accuracy and faster-than-human reflexes with his weapon as he was able to destroy a falling lamp without turning in its direction. He's also known for his excellent vision and is an expert not only in sniper but other weapon as well.
• Advanced Condition
  Naro possesses considerable physical strength. Naro has been shown to be remarkably fast and has an incredible reflex (and he would be extremely faster when he take a temporary power up pill). He's also shown to have an excellent stamina, and jump farther than the furthest jump ever done by an experienced athlete. This allowing him to jump between buildings.
• Regenerative Healing Factor
  Naro is able to regenerate any lost, damaged tissues, organs or limbs faster than normal human (5 minutes to heal a lost limb while using the Enhancement Pill, and 10-15 minutes in normal state)
• Accelerated Perception
  Naro's mind and senses process information at such speeds that time appears to have slowed down, allowing him to perceive what would normally be moving too fast to see and respond accordingly.

Story/Background:
Na Ro Ho , N-1 or Naro (real name unknown) is one of a modified human made by Dr. Kim Seong Shin of Union Technologies. Not much is known about his past, some rumors said his identity was erased completely and hired by Union Technologies to work for the country. He is also a member of an counterterrorism and intelligence group of Ascion namely S.W.I.F.T, positioned as a sniper and often works hand-in-hand with his teammate, especially Z-5.
He's shown to be a soft, caring, down-to-earth person. Albeit his soft personality, he's a fierce, furious, and serious and does not hesitate to use 'completely erase' a human being from existence. Underestimating his capabilities is a big mistake. One small move and his opponent would die, with a shot in the head, from a distance where enemies couldn't even see where he is.
