I’m hoping for at least six so I can start us on a 3v3, but 5 would also work since I can sim an NPC.

Okay, we have 3 including you right?

What attribute would you say deals with keeping ones stamina up? I have a guess, but I'd like to get an GMs answer.

Formally, stamina isn't a feature of the mechanics for this RPG, since most matches will only last a few IC minutes. Pound for pound, though, the best representative is probably mobility, because it concerns continuous physical exertion.

Contestant
Name: Selena "Expendable" Rocinante
Sex: F
Short Bio: Born in 2019, she was a sickly child growing up in the urban jungle of Caracas, Venezuela. Her father practiced medicine as
a GP at a local hospital, while her mother co-operated a car body shop with Selena's grandfather. She was the middle child of three siblings. The family would be able to secure refuge in the United States in the early 2020's, ahead of the absolute collapse of their homeland. They would live out the rest of their child and early adult hood in San Francisco in relative peace. As a teenager Selena would develop a love of fighting that saw her achieve local fame in school and amateur leagues.

She was never known for light-footed around the ring, or a heavy hitter. But she could take punishment, outlasting opponents, as they expended themselves against her. Tragedy would strike her life, as both her older and younger brother, the former a police officer and the latter a conman philander, would die within a few years of each other. One to to a criminals rage, the other a jilted husband. Her love of fighting eventually took her to Thoughtdeath; and while not the youngest contestant, modern medical advances and her own iron will allow her to indulge in humanities newest blood sport.
Personal Color: Golden Yellow
Statistics: 1 Attack, 3 Composition, 2 Resilience, 2 Mobility, and 1 Cognition

Purposely going for a interconnected, 'old blood' PC. Let me know if anything needs to be changed, its NP.

This all looks good to me - interesting to see someone building a tank instead of a killer. That'll be very useful for last man standing matches.

V A N Q U A R I A wrote:Contestant
Name: Bu Liao
Sex: Male
Short Bio: A background in gang violence as a youth would naturally lead him to make enacting violence his fulltime job. Serving as a distinguished officer of the Chinese Special Forces for years, he would eventually resign from the military and lend his services as a PMC to those that could afford him. His roots in crime soon drew him back however and Bu operated as a hitman for the Triads before Thoughtdeath made itself known to the world. Sponsored by powerful gangsters, Bu voluntarily joined this new form of combat entertainment, motivated by the prospect of fame and cold violence. At only 28 years of age, he is a young and reckless contestant with a penchant for spectacles.
Personal Color: Crimson
Statistics: 2 Attack, 2 Composition, 0 Resilience, 4 Mobility, and 1 Cognition


This seems to be in order as well - useful statistics for objective based contests. Welcome. That makes four, and, with luck, we'll be up to six on the morrow.

Contestant
Name:Joe Blow
Sex:Male
Short Bio: A janitor from megacity 69. He is an average man in an not-so-average world with massive debts like everyone under the thumb of the megacorps. In order to get rid of his debts, he decided to try his self at winning the ultra-lottery, which failed, transfer to the pleasure towers, which failed, and then try to sell his body for a science corps, which he missed the deadline. Eventually the idea of playing in one of the game shows came to his mind, with death traps and the killing for large amounts of prize money. Thoughtdeath was among the most highest rated of the game shows but with highest death ratios.

The prize money was huge enough that he was desperate for anything. He signed himself up and when they asked what his best quality was, he claimed that he had a vivid imagination.
Personal Color: Edgy black

Ah, well feel free to join us whenever. New contestants will get to chill in the In-Between or do sideshow duels while waiting for the main match to wrap up.

Name: Aedyn Mili
Sex: M
Short Bio: Aedyn was born Los Angeles 19 years ago to an impoverished family living on the outer marks of the city. His mother and father worked endlessly to provide for him and his 3 siblings. Aedyn was always bright and as much as his parents tried to hide the suffering he noticed. At a young age, he did everything he could to make life easier. From the start, Thoughtdeath gave temptation to Aedyn. If he could win it could completely change life for his family. When his father went into debt trying to keep their house he knew he had to take the chance.

Without his father's knowledge, he went broke into the CEO of the corporation's house and decided to workout out a deal. The CEO was impressed as Aedyn managed to bypass all of his security and into his personal quarters. To pay off his father's debt he accepted a sponsorship deal to compete in Thoughtdeath. He didn't know if he could win but at least his family would be free of debt. It was an easy choice for the CEO if Aedyn didn't succeed it would be a minuscule loss for the company but if he won they could have something special.
