Every player gets a blade imbued with power- a "muramasa", if you will. Each one has different abilities- but that's something the player will have to figure out.
Strength is rolled for basic strikes not using abilities.
Dexterity is dodge, or speed based rolls, like manuvering.
Endurance is how well one can endure hits, and keep fighting.
Spirit is how well one can commune with their blade- with enough spirit, one could directly ask their blade it's abilities and it could respond.
Will is how well one can resist and hold to their own mind, such as resisting corruption. Sometimes used as save rolls.

The arena is a classic, walled-in circular area. It's basically a large field of grass with a few ruined pillars.

Players are going to die. Your swords are fueled on blood. One person refills the entire energy of the blade, and energy only lasts for 5 turns.

A sword becomes weak after not feeding for 3 turns, and it's abilities begin to falter. A sword that could harness fire would be reduced to heat and sparks. When your sword is fully depleted and you haven't managed a kill, the blade will substitute you as a sacrifice. And no, you can't take someone elses sword even at this point- they're bonded to it.

There are some swords that bend the rules a bit- like ones that don't require to be fed as often or change what stat is rolled, etc.

I'll start at 6-8 players.

[Tsuchigumo550]

Ah yes... I realize I've made a mistake. You may spend up to 12 points on stats. Rolls are added to (stat)-1, so a 0 in a stat gives a -1 to rolls. Every time you kill a player, you can increase one stat by a single point.

A stat of 4 (+3) is considered a technical max, but you can go above it.
Doing so will begin to net you side abilities that can be used so long as it's feasible- a super-high Dexterity will allow for a near-instant dash, for instance, that can be used even if you're starving for blood. Like the sword contains abilities, so does your own body.

[Wwolin]

Name: Gareth Cigydd
Age: 38
Description: A giant of a man who looks as if the world was made slightly too small for him. Back in his homeland, he could easily take on several foes by letting them pummel them until they collapsed of exhaustion, and then slowly and sadistically hacking them to bits, earning him the surname Cigydd, meaning butcher. However, he does have a soft spot for the small, perhaps because they praise his size and strength more than anyone else.

Why am I not surprised that Doomblade was the first to sign up?

[Tsuchigumo550]

I'm going to assign everyone that's here blades in a moment. You are told minimal information in all but the most special of cases, such as blades with convoluted, description-less effects. They're heading out, but everyone who's just coming in, feel free to sign up as well.

Why am I not surprised that Doomblade was the first to sign up?

Because you know I basically only work FG&R and RTD forums, and therefore am able to see what happens, and quickly.

Also, I have a complement for Bladedoomed. (another joke entry). This version's based off of the art of minimalism.

IT'S TIME TO START

Released into a walled off grassland complete with broken stone pillars and statues, you hear the rumbling of rich spectators outside the walls. The space feels like a slice of nature, but the walls break the feeling of freedom.

You all start within visible range of each other. Seeing each other for the first time, you hear a single word broadcast to your minds by an invisible overseer.

"Kill to live!"

Nah, you can get the spot. I only counted 7 o.o

Nah, they're pre-set. I try to make them as interesting as possible, but if I leave some descriptor out or something, you can make it up.

"Kill to live!

That doesn't make sense

Ask Gareth if he wants an alliance. attack anyone who attacks me.

[Tsuchigumo550]

That doesn't make sense

You're in an arena, and there's a person watching over the arena, whom is a wizard. He's speaking with you telepathically.

There -is- a way to "win", although it only means you have the option of retiring a character as a legend and getting a free pass right back in- sort of a "reset stats and tell everyone I'm awesome" button after a certian point.
