Changing Scenery: Arthur was exploring a fantastic lost city, one that had rumors of possessing knowledge of how to enter other worlds as well as fabulous treasures, when he found a hidden side chamber that looked somewhat like a ritual chamber of sorts. As soon as he walked to the middle of the room, the floor gave way under him and he fell into the darkness below...

2. The Stick sctijkc01

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Player Name: The Stick
Character Name: sctjkc01
Race: Minecraftian
Class: Pretty much a Jack-of-all-Trades
Basic Info: About 1.7m tall.  Nobody knows weight.  Very, VERY, VERY blocky.

Bio:
A specific individual from the humongous world of Minecraftia.  Wears glasses and a polo shirt.  Very versed in many different crafting recipes, and can produce a large number of items with a single wooden workbench.  Oftentimes called "Stick" mainly because of his hard-to-pronounce name (don't even try).

Changing Scenery:
Everyone always said, "Don't dig up!  Don't dig down!  Don't dig to any side!  Just don't dig at all!" but honestly, who cared about that?  There's diamonds to be had - especially since diamonds are such an integral part of getting to the Nether.

Iron Pickaxe in hand, sctjkc01 started mining down in a torch-lit cavern.  It's been pretty rich in materials thus far - coal, iron, gold, copper, tin, nikolite, silver, and redstone abound.  But not once was there a sing--

Wait.  Was that a blue shiny ore?  It... it is!  Finally, diamond!

sctjkc01 started mining out the ore eagerly.  Payday was just about to come, baby!  Maybe finally he could invest in a--

The ore broke, and a diamond was dropped.  However, the lava behind the diamond ore reared its molten head, and covered sctjkc01 with hot, firey ooze.

And sctjkc01's consciousness faded away...

3. Spinal_Taper Jane Doe (TF2 Soldier)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Player Name: Spinal_Taper
Character Name: Jane Doe, RED Soldier
Race: A True Patriot! (Human)
Class: Soldier. Completely insane soldier.
Basic/Note Data: http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Soldier

Bio: Jane Doe was an utter patriot. If it was American, he loved it. When he heard of the great American quest to stop the Nazi menace, he leapt at the chance to sign up and start busting unamerican heads. Unfortunatly, for various mental and physical reasons, no branch of the army would accept him. However, giving up was a communist thing to do, and so he left for Germany himself, where he led, fed and trained a one-man crusade against the Nazi war machine. During his self-made tour of duty, he earned several self-made medals. Sadly, like all things, the war ended, as did Does favorite hobby. That is, until he was contacted by a certain individual working for a certain group offering him employment as a mercenary for a certain world dominating company. He took the job with a smile, his rocket launcher and his bloodlust.

Changing Scenery: Just a short while ago, in an old, dingy bar, Soldier sat on a barstool, with an empty bottle of scotch in his hand. His scowling face rested on the bar, giving any who approach him a hateful glare.
"Goddamn hippies. Ruining America for true Americans, like me."
The other patrons of the bar gave him a suspicious glare, which Soldier returned in earnest.
"Hippies."
By now, the other patrons were done with him. One of them, a muscular man who dwarfed Soldier walked over to him.
"I think you should leave."
Soldiers head jerked up.
"Make me, hippie."
The taller man swung his fist, but Soldier caught the punch with surprising agility given his drunkeness.
"You're no Scout, commie!"
He twisted the mans arm then swung it into the bar. With a resounding crack and a scream, the mans arm shattered. Soldier grabbed the mans head and brought it down onto his knee. The man dropped with a low groan, and his friends stared for a moment.
"COME GET SOME, FRENCH SKIRT-TWIRLERS!"
Three men raced at him, breaking off to surround him. Soldier slugged one in the face, sending him to the ground in a daze. He was just to follow up with a kick, but a barstool shattered against his back. After stumbling forward, he turned to look behind him. The dazed man was being helped to his feet by another man, and the third guy smirked at Soldier. Soldier ran at the dazed man and the guy helping him up. He grabbed the dazed man by the head, swung him around and smashed him into his assistant. Then he released his grip, sending the man flying into the shelves behind the counter. Twinkling glass shards flew into the air as Soldier charged the last man. Soldier tackled him, and began a savage beatdown upon his newest victim. Punches fell like fist-sized hail onto his body, bruising muscle and cracking bone. Soldier swung his elbow down onto the mans chest, causing him to hack blood onto Soldiers red peacoat.
"Filthy Communist bleeder."
Soldier stood up and grabbed a bottle from the counter. People recoiled from him as he walked out of the bar, muttering vulgarities against Communists and hippies. He began striding down the street, then the accumulation of the alcohol and fight came onto him and he passed out on the street. When he awoke, he was nowhere he had ever seen before.

These items will vary from weapons, to gear, and occasionally, he will gain a hat. Everybody loves hats,
Crafting: When he has an excess amount of gear or weapons, he can combine them to form varying quality metals. He can use these metals to craft more useful equipment
Hit it Doc!: Due to his surgical enhancements, he causes any healing or buff attempts on him to passively gain energy. Once the healer gains enough energy, they can trigger either a stage where he does 10 times damage or is utterly invincible. the quick-fix does not exist.
Respawn: Upon his death, he does not fade, but shows back up at a Mann. Co. Respawn Room.

4. Tack Tor Armitage

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Player name: Tack
Character name: Armitage (or Tor Armitage)
Race: Human
Class: Grimdark Test Subject
Basic: 6"4', tall and trim. He has an odd nanotechnology abnormality which causes damaged cells to be replaced with metal proto-cells. As such, he's a bit metallic in some areas, particularly high-wear like his hands and such. Most of the time he wears a Grecian-inspired metal helm, to protect his face from being metalified. In the rare cases in which he is not wearing it, he has straight dark hair which falls to his chin, and dark eyes.
Bio: Posessed of the kind of cynicism only an imprisoned immortal can have, he's slightly broody, or very flippant or light-natured in situations which don't exactly call for it. He does have a very strong moral fibre, though, and while he'll bend for the greater good sometimes, there's some behaviors he just won't stand for. He likes fine food and drink, but due to his 'condition', he can obtain nutrients from anything down to sand, and his liver metabolizes alcohol before it can hit his brain, so it's a little depressing. Also, he's extremely protective of his face and head, as mentioned above and below. Having been raised in one of those 'subject zero' style containment areas, he doesn't have the full grasp of social conventions, or, politeness.
Changing Scenery: He escaped from the lab sometime in his past- (either recently or long ago, however you wish to spin it). But, naturally, there's always people going out of their way to get him back. They can't exactly stop him, but destruction of his brain would cause it to he replace with a "superior" metal one, and he doesn't like to think of the effect that would have on his humanity. So he's pretty desperate to get away, in any way possible.

Advanced:
Abilities: He has a Jetpack! It's a small, self-contained one. Pretty much the smallest you can get without going into the 'subtle jets for ladies' section, in his time period. It usually runs off solar power/atmospheric gas, so it'll work anywhere, but it'll work best in direct sunlight, or sulphur pits. He also has his cell deficiency, so any damage taken is quickly repaired, and made stronger and more efficient. This includes his metal parts, as the destruction of it will cause the nano machines to re-optimize, so they just keep improving. He can also kick, and punch, like any roughhousin' lad.
Stats:
HP:5
MP: 0
AGG:5
FOR:7
NIM:3
BRA:3
SPI:5
AWA:4
COM:3
ALL:5 (probably -2 with the helmet on)

5. Ochita Rúmil Seregon

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Basic
Player Name: Ochita
Character Name:  Rúmil Seregon.
Race: Male Worldly Spirit: When somebody dies, and they cannot accept death, or if a magical immortality spell went wrong, the result is a worldly spirit, a soul trapped in the mortal plane, until it can escape either though accepting death, or undoing the cause of magical effects. Most of them have at least a little magical skill, their status as spirits leaving them closer to the ebb and flow of mana. Some can also inhabit dead corpses, although very few choose to do so, because of a multitude of reasons. If a worldly spirit is damaged to the point of 'death', then their mind starts to fragment, and they become nothing more than ambient mana in the air, as the mind keeping the mana has been 'shut down' for lack of a better term.
Class: Ghost Magi

Basic/Note Data: Rúmil's 'body' is mostly just the head, arms and upper body of an elven male. Instead of having legs, Rúmil has his lower body lead into a tendril of spirit, which hovers above the ground. This leads him to hovering to reach a hight of 5'11", with his actual body being as tall as 5'8". His actual body is a faint blue, and opaque, and waves left to right, the tendril swaying to a mental beat. His face is a little bit more blurred, but his eyes are a brown, despite the rest of his spiritual body. His mouth still makes a distintive shape, as does his eyes, allowing him to properly convey his feelings on current subjects. He wears robes that are an icy white, to show that he was an ice magi.

Bio: Rúmil used to be a male Elf. He would work at the local wizards tower as an apprentice, learning a fair amount of magical technique. He unfortunatly turned into a spirit one day when the head mage of the tower wanted an apprentice to use in an experiment, involving the flow of mana. Rúmil was picked, and instead of becoming something akin to a mana battery, he was instead ravaged by it, and his mortal body perished, while his soul remained, and he turned into a spirit. After leaving the tower and exploring old dungeons and forgotten ruins to find a way to at least pass on, he stumpled across a particular magi tower..

Changing Scenery: Rúmil was exploring an old magi tower, searching around for any incantations, or books that would help him with his long and arduous quest. Finding an ancient leather-bound tome, he saw a incantation, with a note, explaining that the incantation would take the user to a different plane of existing. Feeling hope for the first time in his journey, Rúmil quickly incanted, only failing to recite the last word correctly. Instead of leaving his spiritual shell, he instead felt a tugging feeling, as his ghost body was pulled though the planes, until he reached Daros.

Player Name: Bohmer
Character Name: Henry Clark
Race: Human
Class: Antic Master
Basic/Note Data: "Antic Master" class would be focused around crafting tools to use in battle to throw a number of status effects on enemies.
Bio: Henry had a certain gift for antics. After taking a few advanced science classes, he learned enough about the universe to use his skill as best as possible. He is considered to be one of the greatest Antic Masters of his universe, though he believes there's always a higher level to reach.
Changing Scenery: In an attempt to bring his antics to the next level, Henry built a machine that would transport him through dimensions to gain more materials for antics. At one point, he learned of Daros, and the playground of madness it was.

Race: Catchamonster. This Thing!
Class: Battling Monster
Basic/Note Data: Well, he's a blue dog with a really big nose. He weighs 55 lbs. and is 1'9" from tail to nose.
Bio: DJ Spew started off as one of many Catchamonsters, stuffed in a crate and waiting for a trainer. Geromy Hatsnock was that trainer. They trained hard, unlocked powerful secret abilities, and were prepared to enter all four Catchamonsters tournaments. They even teamed up with a bluish woman named Sandy and her robotic Catchamonster! Life was great, not that DJ Spew acknowledged it.

[Digital Hellhound]

So THAT's what I look like coloured. Awesome.

We have such a perfect team.

[freeformschooler]

Which one are you again? Pink tie or grey cloak?

[Digital Hellhound]

Four-armed, blue-skinned badass captain, foo'!

[Caellath]

My character looks like a helpless geek.

[Dwarmin]

I guess Sadie's bright yellow tie indicates her understanding of Human fashion?

[Burkhart]

Bowser doesn't look too happy. Hahaha.

Green and white looks good, though.

[Dexexe1234]

erch, its been eventful, but I guess I have to go sleep now. Gonna bring da updates tomorrow though! Have a good one!

[Skyrunner]

Manly female fighter! >_<

[Caellath]

Manly female fighter! >_<

She looks perfectly capable of splitting more than half of the other members in half. Elves are great punching bags, or so I heard.

[Fortis]

Eh, Bowser strikes me more bored than anything. His mentality probably wouldn't mesh well with office work.

EDIT: I decided to collect all the combat info and stick it in one post for a reference.

Combat:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Basics:
It is simple turn based combat, but with a strategizing twist! You must wittle down your foe's HP, or in other ways make it unfit for combat before a Conquest is won! If the foe wittles your HP down, you fall unconcious. From there, if you are not healed, you will die after a set period of time.

Pacing:
One can each Conquest Turn, take one action and one non-action turn. The non-action involves using an item or skill labelled non-action, or moving Zones. An Action turn is using a skill or Assault.

Assault:
The basic Aggression based combat command. If a firearm is used, often that will run through Awareness instead.

Skill:
This is where the skills you own can be chosen and used against a foe/friend/yourself/no one. See the skill data for what it does.

Zone:
The Combat Field is parted into three parts! These are called Zones. The center one is the melee zone, where close combat weaponry is functional! The one beyond that is the Medium Zone, which is where firearms and magick can work. Some close combat weaponry also work in the Medium Zone. Furthest are the Magi Zone, where firearms and spells are needed to do damage. The Magi zone also reduce the amount of damage you can give a foe, but not the amount that you heal your friends. The zones in front will guard the people standing in the zones behind. So the people in the Melee Zone will guard the people in the Medium and Magi zone from direct frontal attacks. The Medium Zone will also guard the Magi Zone.

Shift Zone:
This lets you move through a zone adjacent to the one you are in right now. From Medium you could enter Magi or Melee, or from Magi and Melee you could enter Medium. If there are no foes in the enemy's Melee Zone, you can Shift Zone into it to claim their zones as yours. In this case, the closest zone to a zone with an enemy becomes the Melee zone, the one adjacent to the Melee becomes the Medium and the rest outwards become Magi.

Item:
This lets you choose an item from your inventory and use in Conquest. Some items cannot be used in Conquest, others work best in it.

Flee:
Gives you a chance of running away from an encounter. Wont work all the time, and some foes restrict Fleeing altogether.

Charge:
A Charge is activated when a character rushes into a Conquest. They can choose which Zone they stop in, unless there are 3 people in the same Zone, then they have to stop in the zone behind the one they were trying to get to. There are skills that can only be activated through a charge. A Charge count as a non-action turn.

Charge Assault:
A Charge Assault is precisely what is sounds like, an Assault that needs a charge to work. Often, these Assaults either give more damage than a regular Assault or they increase the change of a critical hit. Every character has a different Charge Assault, making them count as skills since they have a requirement before they can be activated.

Discovered Charge Assaults:
Bowser: Slam
Sadie: Haymaker
REGIS: Brick Wall
Nikolai: Twirl Axe

Charge Slam:
A Charge Slam is when two groups rush into combat with each other, smashing into each other to try and do as much damage as possible. This initiates the two groups entering the Melee Zone to count together their Aggression and compare them. If it is a tie, none take damage as both got just as rustled as the other. If one side wins, then all the opponents take the amount of damage dealt. Due to this, Charge Slams are often a great way of getting rid of weaker foes if you just wont bother battling them.

Throwing:
All the items in ones inventory can be thrown, no matter what. The effect of the item, of course, depends on the item itself. This way, people in the Magi Zone could heal their friends in the Melee Zone by tossing a potion their way! Though there is always a chance that the thrown item will miss. They say the chance of missing decreases with more Awareness.

Thrown item damage:
Spirer Fruit: 1

Combo Move:
These special moves are born when two people have a large enough affinity for each other. Randomly when both these characters are attacking or using a skill, they might realize that these abilities can be chained together into one very strong ability! Companionship is very important in the creation of Combo Moves.

Guarding:
To guard against attacks is an easy feet. You give up your turn, but you double your regular toughness, making it much harder to damage your HP! Simple as that.

Guard Link:
Guard Linking is a special technique that makes two or three people cross together their Toughness to protect one another. Basically, if character A has 3 toughness and character B has 5 toughness, Guard Linking makes both of them share a whooping 16 toughness, due to both the duplication that Guarding makes, and the power of the Guard Link!

Flanking:
Flanking has always been a highly viable tactic in war and combat, and in this world it is also great! What it does is force a Melee Zone into the enemies Zones, parting them up or closing them in a pincher! It even keeps opponents from fleeing.

Encountered Monsters:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Scale Thrashers:
Sadie looked the creature over, but in all ways it didn't really make any sense! It looked like some kind of mammal, but it was covered in hard, light reflecting plates! It seemed to have at least 2 rows of teeth in its mouth, and its eyes seemed little more than bulbous shells that guard some sort of light rustling fluid inside the cranium. When they moved, they sounded like armor, but they were still light and agile like squirrels! Truly these were either wonders of natural evolution, or the wicked creation of mad biologists! The creature did not seem to have a weak point in it's body, though what would she know, she has never seen it's like before!

Estimated health: 3
Estimated attack: 1-3?
Drops: Spirer fruit, Plum juice, Tones

[Dwarmin]

Yeah, and why is Sadie standing the furthest from the water cooler with her back to it? Maybe she's reminiscing about the ocean? 

[Tiruin]

Manly female fighter! >_<

She looks perfectly capable of splitting more than half of the other members in half. Elves are great punching bags, or so I heard.

Eheh, oh wow. D:

My character looks like a helpless geek.

And mine doesn't know fashion at all in the modern day. XD

Also, on a completely unrelated note, Dwarmin makes best lore. Most of what Sadie said coincides with what I was actually thinking at the time, albeit different names were used. 

[Dexexe1234]

(looks like sadie is best pon-)hrrhrrHRRMM!!

Also I am sorry the Out Of Character image is out of character! How foolish of me!

[Dwarmin]

And, my portaits is done, courtesy of Caellath!

"Honestly, blub, blub?"
"I'm currently feeling a proclivity toward naughtyness.
"You're perturbed me the last time."
"Very sorry, but your race is sort of extinct. That must be hard for you to hear."
"Science is happening! Squeee!"

I think they looks good.
