Ultimate Baseball of Doom: First Final Tournament of the Ages

Alright, I posted the IC! First come first serve so hurry up if you wish to be the first batter! Zuubassballe can't be killed until the grand finale, unlike everyone else.

Ultimate Baseball of Doom: First Final Tournament of the Ages

As the crowd roared in anticipation, Zuubassballe, the great demon lord with rippling muscles, purple skin, and nice, erect horns, was in the center of the baseball field. He was sniffing the finely trimmed grass with great vigor as he squatted around in observation of their handy-work. Ah yes! This was perfect! His vision had finally become a reality in only a single evening! Hopefully he'd be able to go back home in time to avoid disaster by way of the oven that he had accidentally left on. However, he had a duty to see this baseball game through due to not only inventing it just now but also because it was to settle a very dramatic feud between his fellow demons and the angels. He was also eager to see how it would play out, not doing this simply as work, and this factor was even more important to him. It actually seemed like such a good pastime that maybe it would be called...like...the national pastime? No, that would be silly, but it should certainly be interesting due to all the chaos that could potentially unfold on this beautiful field today.

"Alright! Are...you...READY!!!" He roared as he jerked into a standing position, causing the crowd to up their applause even more until it was almost defining. In fact a sonic boom shot out that nearly blew him over if not for his highly athletic body keeping him on his feet. He brushed his silky black hair back into place with a flick of his demon tail. "Everyone, take your positions! The first pitch belongs to me!"

His tail wrapped around the baseball that had been laying on the ground next to him and he took a stance where his right leg raised high up into the air in the splits while his left leg and hands were planted onto the ground. He then breakdanced for a couple of seconds before his tail let loose the ball straight at the center of mass of the batter at such high speeds that it was only a blur and fire formed around it. He wanted the first pitch to be remembered so was not going to hold back no matter who the batter was. They'd have to be really talented to move out of the way and hit the ball back without exploding. Either way it would be a remarkable show.

Thor convinced Odin to let Loki out of prison so that they could go to Earth and watch a Mets game in Stark's private box. Unfortunately, the Bifrost was on the fritz and they ended up at the wrong baseball game.

@TheUnknowable

That sounds perfectly reasonable.

Here's the OOC.

Ultimate Baseball of Doom: First Final Tournament of the Ages

WARNING: If you're expecting a serious fight then turn away now. This battle is completely for fun and may or may not have your characters suffer a super ridiculous death. Come in here with a sense of humor and you should be fine.

(This music plays for dramatic effect for the riveting backstory)

Angels and Demons have been at war for as long as anyone can remember. It was then that a great demon lord known as Zuubassballe remembered that he left his oven on and couldn't really spend thousands of years fighting or else his kitchen would catch on fire and he wasn't the fire kind of demon so that would be bad. So that being said he managed to convince the Angels and Demons to stop their normal way of fighting and invent a new game named after him, called Baseball, that would be used to settle matters instead in a single evening. Both Angels and Demons could recruit outsiders to play for them, be it cyborgs, really muscular butterflies, pirates with laser swords, King Arthur, Cthulhu, Goku, Godzilla, etc. This takes place in a multiverse where all universes exist from different media and also original characters and settings of our own. A planet was made specifically for the upcoming match to contain all of the awesome destructiveness that would surely follow and a special field of gooblygook plot device thing that allowed weaker competitors to fight evenly with some of the greats (patent pending, don't ask how it works).

It's not like how baseball later evolved, but instead is really chaotic with limited rules. On a team's turn they have someone up to bat (could be anyone), and if they hit the ball then they must run around all of the bases back to home base to score a point. However, if they get killed or hit with the ball while they're not touching a base then that's considered a strike out and they no longer play for that round (or forever depending on damages). They cannot be killed while touching a base, which is their safe zones that magically shields them from attacks other than the ball. They have three chances to try and hit the ball and if they don't all three times then that's a strike out as well. Both teams can only try to kill each other when the ball is in play and rounds are often settled in quick strikes where defenders try to stop attacks from reaching the batter trying to run around the bases. There will be 9 players on each team out on the field at one time. Both sides can call in air strikes, asteroid impacts, etc. as well. Once a team goes through three strike outs then the round switches to the other team. This goes on for 5 rounds to decide the winner by who had the most points and every 5 kills also counts as a point.

So...that's about it! Each person can have one player on both teams at once and if they die they can get replacements from the bench on the next play. Expect players to be able to die from single attacks or else the game would never end. This is supposed to be fast paced with crazy attacks or else a battle of this style wouldn't work out very well. When you come in with a character, don't bother waiting for a reply on some character sheet. Just jump on in and have the start of that post being the announcer giving us all a basic introduction about them. Who goes up to bat will be based on a first come first serve thing as well as being the one to pitch on the opposing team, although you can only choose one or pass up on both if you desire. Anyone not controlled by a player is assumed to be an NPC Angel or Demon unless you jump in the spot with a character, then it could have been them all along. Alright, now with all that out of the way...

...LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!

100 vs. Big Bad!

Most of his strength is used up just to move his armor around so he doesn't have too much extra to spare. With his charging at you it would hit a bit harder then you'd imagine the best football player slamming into you while wearing metal plates.

100 vs. Big Bad!

I posted Wrath's sheet in my Character A Day and will get to posting Yurzia and Vyrdia next. The blowfish will come later whenever I can't think of a character to post that day due to only being as likable as a D rank to me right now.

I added on to Wrath's ability as water puppetry thanks to him using his fingers to manipulate the water in my post. Well, he can create blobs in the rough shape of people to attack like puppet minions.

I get the feeling that most of my guys will end up bishonen.

Insane Lethal Baseball (Don't need to know how to play!)

I think rather than sheets we could just have the announcer introduce characters as they take the field to give all relevant information. They could announce additional stuff in the play by plays.

The forces of darkness have agreed to settle matters with the forces of light by way of a baseball game. However, due to several misunderstandings there exist so many loopholes that it allows for giant robots, missile strikes, assassination attempts, etc. The rulebook was so mangled that only the main rules apply such as you have to have them throw the ball at you (you can't be killed beforehand) and once you hit it you run around the bases to score a point once you get back to home. After three people are struck out (by death or otherwise) then play switches to the other team.

Any NPCs to fill the remaining spots will be played by demons on the dark side and angels on the light side. Each person can control one on each side and they don't have to be an angel or demon, having been recruited from outside sources to aid them in the baseball game. They can be practically anything, real life people, characters from other canons, or you could make up your own. King Arthur can use Excalibur to bat a ball to Cthulhu is but one example. Expect things to get super crazy and lethal. If your character dies then you can come in with a new character from the bench.

Anyone interested?

100 vs. Big Bad!

I'd say you can have it go the way allowing you the most awesome post. But if you ask me I see it wide edge parallel to the ground.
