CONGRATULATIONS EQUESTRIAN WARRIOR! You have been called to a distant land, deep beyond the Everfree Forrest, To participate in the third Dark Tournament of Equestria! You, and fifteen other of this nation's finest fighters have been given this very special invitation to join in the blood bath! Of course, in compliance with the dark tournament rules, participation is not an option for you, so get ready for the fun time of your life!

 

Nothing's more fun than blood and guts, but we still need guidelines to make things run smooth:

 

Each warrior will compete tournament style in our special bracket. Four bloody victories and you win! What do you win, you ask? You can have one wish for anything you want from our honorable tournament committee!

 

The fight is won when one of three criteria are met:

The opponent is dead

The opponent has been out of the ring for more than ten seconds

The opponent has been on the ground and not standing for more than ten seconds (However, if your opponent is incapacitated we encourage you to finish him/her off for the enjoyment of the fans. We musn't forget our torturing!)

 

AND THOSE ARE THE RULES! You may bring one of any weapon you want!

 

 

 

Dark Tournament 1 Recap:

 

Sixteen Warriors were called to participate in the first Dark Tournament. Among those sixteen were Standoff, a brutal fighter who quickly became the crowd favorite; and Swordpoint, a commonly hated contestant who showed mercy to all his opponents. Those two fought through the ranks and met each other in the championship round. Big Shot, the greedy head of the tournament committee, bet his entire fortune on Standoff's victory. Rail, the tournament director, bet the same on Swordpoint's victory. When Swordpoint won, Big Shot was ruined and Rail's fortune was doubled. No one knew what he wanted with all that money.

 

Dark Tournament 2 Recap:

 

Sixteen warriors are called to participate in Dark Tournament once again. Among them are many of the surviving veterines from the first tournament. However, the returning champion, Swordpoint, is surprisingly defeated before the semi finals can even begin. In the end, Sole becomes champion over the fifteen fighters.

 

However, the tournament did not conclude. Rail revealed his plan to put half of his entire fortune on the line in a bet between the champoion Sole and his own fighter, a sadistic and evil creature named Mason who had been used to carry out wicked deeds behind the scenes. If Mason won, Rail would have a of fortune nearly four and a half times Equestria's gross product, enough money to to complete his plan to plunge Equestria into chaos for his own twisted amusemnt. Luckily, Sole narrowly won his fight and Rail took his own life in a dramatic final act. He destroyed the entire arena along with himself and his legacy, leaving his daughter, Topaz with what remained of his fortune.

 

For three years the Dark Tournament was all but forgotten, until an older, more mature Topaz brought back her father's evil tournament under new management.

 

 

 

Meet this year's staff:

 

Topaz: The tournament's owner, announcer, and a member of the Tournament Committee. Armed with half of her father's old fortune (which is still a ridiculous amount of money), she has brought back the once forgotten tournament. She is known for her cute looks and peppy attitude, however, the events of the second tournament have created a sadder reasity beneath that smile.

Juri: The tournament's most recognizable refferee, this young, blue pegasus is Topaz's best (though slightly less intelligent) friend. She's a bit of a ditz and a coward, but she's easy on the eyes, and that's all that really matters in a Dark Tournament Ref.

 

Gatasubal: Replacing the tournament's previous security chief, Gatasubal is an enormous, autonomous robot with multiple, tentacle like appendages, stumpy but sturdy legs, and a nearly impenetrable, metallic shell. His cold calculating, yet respectable personality make him the ideal machine to keep the tournament's miscreants in line.

Grant: Topaz was uncomfortable taking on the duty of Tournament Director, so she left it to this spiffy business-stallion. Grant is a pampered white unicorn with an inflated opinion of himself an an ego that can barely fit inside of the Dark Tournament Stadium. However, he's also an intelligent business-stallion who built his own fortune from scratch. His current goal is to outsmart Topaz and cheat her out of her fortune.

 

 

 

Other staff:

 

Referees:

 

1. Open

2. Open

3. Open

 

*** Referees must be young, female characters. They are not allowed to interfere with an ongoing fight. The referee is to announce the start of the fight (once both combatants are in the ring) and announce the winner after the fight is over. They are also, obviously, meant to enforce the rules (luckily, there aren't many rules) and give a ten count to out-of-ring combatants. If you want to play as a referee, post a link to your OC in the OOC thread and specify that you want to do this. PM me for more information. ***

 

Co-announcer:

 

1. lonewolf1375: Re-boot

 

*** The Co-announcer can be any character. He or she is not allowed to interfere with an ongoing fight. The Co-announcer will mostly be inside of a booth along with, or separate from Topaz to commentate on the action. If you want to play as the Co-announcer, post a link to your OC in the OOC thread and specify that you want to do this. PM me for more information. ***

 

 

All sixteen players will be given a bracket before the tournament starts. I will have several fights going on at a time to keep things running fast. If a character doesn't respond in 48 hours, he is disqualified.

 

Rules:

• Only Pony, Griffon, and Donkey OCs
• You are only allowed to play as one fighter and one staff or one of the two.
• Listen to the referees. If you're out, you're out.
• Arguments should be settled in PM conversations
• No Godmodding
• No Mary Sues
• No unreasonably powerful abilities
• No inter-dimensional portals

Fighter Bracket:

 

1. lonewolf1375: Overlord

2. Gloomfury: Trench Club

3. Dusk Shade: Prince Godric

4. Sage Of Six Mirrors: Mirror Quake

5. Evil Dragon Master: Skuldaf

6. Majestic Nightfury: Tempest

7. Scrambled_Egghead: Kiwi Puff

8. GameytheGeemer: Chain Mail

9. NioniosTheRenegade: Selune Darkeye

F.A.Q.

 

 

 

Q. So, I have an alicorn OC, and I was wondering if-

A. No. The answer is no.

 

Q. What do the fighters do when they aren't fighting?

A. There's always something to do outside of the ring. Walk around, watch the other fights, hang out in the fighter's lounge, flirt with Juri, train, sleep, flirt with Topaz, get mugged by stupid thugs that thing they can take you, flirt with Juri again, etc.

 

Q. How do we find out who wins a fight if we both want to win?

A. That's up to you and your opponent. After you've had your fun, discuss who will win. If you can't decide, I will by random chance (flipping a coin).

 

 

 

Enclosed here is a horribly made 3D picture of the basic design of each of the four arenas (Warning: zero effort was put into this!):

Seeing as you've got a robot referee can I use a robot OC?

The robot is the head of security. I'm not sure about the robot thing. PM me the OC and we can discuss it there.

I'm updating the list now.

[Concerto Dusk 240]

I wish minotaurs were allowed. I will have to look at my ocs.

I might allow a minotaur. If you can't find another OC, I can give the minotaur a look.

[Gloomfury 243]

Alrighty, when I looked over the second Dark Tournament a while back I was scared to enter cause I didn't want to see my OC die. But now I think I'm ready. I'll be using my OC Trench Club.

I can definitely allow this OC. He seems like someone the crowds would me more likely to root for. I'll add you to the roster.

[Gloomfury 243]

@,

 

Awesome to the max. 

[Hive King 2,001]

Oh goodie, we're back in business. I'd like to enter with Vokun.

I don't think I can allow Vokun but the backup, Skuldaf, seems okay. You may want to consider changing his appearance, though.

Didn't know we was entertainin' royalty. Of course, the only authority that's recognized here is brute force!

 

That's a good Griffon OC if I ever saw one! I'll add him to the roster.

We haven't had a good demo-man since the first tournament and it's high time we had another! You're approved.

In what way?

[Literally Snails 2,307]

In what way?

maybe less polka dots, eyes that aren't solid black, normal ears. If your character isn't a demon/monster/thing, he shouldn't look like one either. I'm not trying to be critical, I'm just offering my input.

 

At any rate, the character itself is okay, so I can add you to the roster.

[Hive King 2,001]

@,

You have a tendency to hate the way my OCs look. I remember last time that my OC was "slapped together"?

 

I'm not mad though

Oh, I remember that but I forgot it was you

[Hive King 2,001]

Oh, I remember that but I forgot it was you

I had a lot of trouble entering the old one, mostly because pretty much all my OCs are non-pony

[Literally Snails 2,307]

I added one of my own characters to the roster. Now we need ten more, so invite your friends if you can!

[IridscentNionios 1,420]

I'll leave it up to you to choose one of my three ocs located in my sig and choose one for this tournament. I will analyze each after further reccomendation.

[Drago Ryder 641]

Yay. Time for Tempest and Xena to dominate. Anyway, you know what Tempest can do, but the link is in my sig.

If it's all the same with you, Selune is my favorite of the three.

Can I get the OC link?

 the link is in my sig.

Oh... never mind.

Okay, we have about half as many sign ups as we need, but with an RP this big that iis to be expected.

Okay, now I'm a little worried. I don't mind waiting, but I don't like making the other seven of you wait as well :/

[Concerto Dusk 240]

If we have eight can't we start, just take one round away?

[Scrambled_Egghead 16]

I'm making a character for this right now! Just hold on a sec.

Okay, here she is:

I gave her a cute name that matches the actual show, but her character is based off of Chu. Can I be approved?
