Colosseum Anyone up for a serious tournament?

So as somebody who's been on and off the Colosseum thread for awhile now I notice some decent folk hanging out there. But a lot of the RP seems to be kind of on and off. People mostly make open fighting arenas, and join fights randomly and then lose interest before their character has properly finished in the fight. What I want to know is if anyone is interested in a combat RP thats a little bit more organized and set to conclude.

For those who are interested, I also want to see what characters you'd be interested in playing, and a complete rundown of their abilities and weaknesses if you have one handy. This can help me to get an idea of approximately what power level people are interested in fighting at. I would like there to be some in-character acting and use of peoples OCs, as its preferable to everyone making overpowered hax characters that are as interesting as cardboard cutouts.

As for what you win? Bragging rights.

Thinking on winging an OC for this particular one if it takes off, That, a random fandom dude, or I'm tossing Reed into this.
 
Yeah I'm interested! Still deciding on what character to use. Might even try to make a new one. When would the RP be?

Probably a tournament style. I would be the GM/grand master, set up the fight conditions. (who fights who, which arena, special conditions). If people wanted to the entire RP could be canon (characters would be resurrected/fully healed and restored of all their gear after a battle.) and there would be a break room where characters could interact when not fighting each other.

What I haven't decided is if, even though the RP combat will be soft and not system based is if we should use a point system to balance the characters... I have a half-built character building system in my private files that I could finish and use.

Well, it'd be best to decide those matters before we actually pick the characters- so that we can pick characters more fitting of the system to be used.

PS: You didn't answer my question though, about when the RP means to start. I don't have time to actually make a new character at the moment since I'm in the middle of my exams, but if starts in like a couple week's time, I should have time then to make something

sorry I misread that. Yeah since I've been considering that this would probably have at least 8 people, and since well need awhile to get the CSes squared away we could give it a couple weeks until everyone is out of school.

In that case, I'll probably be making a new character until then.

I'm going to start accepting character applications.
Do you wish for the character sheets to go on this forum link or will you be making another forum for the characters?

Will there be an OOC?

This should square everything away:


 
This looks super interesting to me! I'd love to submit a character in just a bit, but I was wondering, how in-depth should I be? Like, from 1 to 10, 1 being like a paragraph and 10 being a full blown college essay. I know you want us to be descriptive of our character's weaknesses and abilities, but I can be more lax on the other stuff if you'd like?

Well, we've already started. I don't know if we're open or not, not my call, but if you'd like I could link you to the IC so you can check out the current level of detail?

That would be great! Thank you!

tere you go.

and for characters:

We were encouraged to be as detailed and precise as we could, with things like powers especially.
 
Thank you very much! It does seem like it's closed, though. So I don't think I'll be joining. There's also the fact that most of these posts look miles out of my league lol. Thanks anyways!
