Every three years, Earth’s strongest fighters gather to show the world their prowess and why they think [i]they[/i] should be the next World Champion. Besides the World Title, the winner will receive ten million zeni. While second place will receive five million, third place three million, fourth place two million, and fifth place one million. The rules are if a competitor steps outside the ring (the square cement platform), is unable to stand up before a count of ten seconds, or gives up, automatically loses. If both fighters are knocked out and neither can reach their feet by a count of ten, then it is a draw. If this were to happen in the final match, then the tournament will wait until either unconscious fighter becomes conscious. The conscious competitor then must stand to their feet and declare “I am the champion!” Weapons, protective body gear, or teams are forbidden in the tournament. Natural weapons are permitted such as claws if this is applicable to your species. Poking someone in the eyes or hitting them in the groin is not allowed—although the latter can be overlooked if it was “accidental.” The most important rule is that killing the opponent is not allowed. Disobeying any of these rules results in a disqualification from the tournament. [b]The Story:[/b] Your character has arrived to the World Martial Arts Tournament as either a participant or a spectator. During the tournament, there is a group of shady humans (at least they appear to be) who have been somehow knocking their opponents unconscious. Moments later, your character learns that the opponents knocked unconscious mysteriously die by unknown circumstances afterwards. This doesn’t seem right; and though the shady group didn’t sign up as a team (because that would be disqualifying), they seem to all be seeking to get into the top five. What are they hoping to collect all the zeni for? You can’t let them succeed! [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/65Gf9vK.jpg?1[/img][/center] [h3]Match-Up[/h3] [i]This will be posted later. This is where the who v. who will be posted. The tournament hasn't officially begun yet.

We will assume you registered already. [*][color=fff200][b]Fighter Waiting Area and Locker Room:[/b][/color] Fighters can relax in this location prior to walking out to the arena. Unfortunately, some fighters like to showboat in this area. [*][color=fff200][b]Concessions:[/b][/color] Hungry? They have the most unhealthiest selection to satiate you from sugar to fried foods. [*][color=ed1c24][b]VIP Lounge ([i]Restricted[/i]):[/b][/color] Only the rich and famous are permitted through here. [*][color=fff200][b]The Stands:[/b][/color] This is where spectators sit to watch the show. [*][color=ed1c24][b]The Arena ([i]accessible only during competition[/i]):[/b][/color] Where the show begins! [*][color=fff200][b]Tailgate Lot:[/b][/color] RVs in the parking lot sometime BBQ, serve beer, and watch the tournament from there. Sometimes it is much safer to watch from a distance. Their food is probably healthier. [*][color=fff200][b]Gift Shop:[/b][/color] Want to buy a tournament memento T-shirt? Want to buy other memorable junk?
