In-Character thread up.

I had this idea for this forum game.  Each player composes a team of various video game characters, and combat their teams in a tournament in order to have control over the tournament matches.  This is going to be first come, first served, if it takes more than a day to get the number of players needed.  If I get more than 9 over the first 24 hours of sign-up, I will select the 9 applications via RNG.  The reason behind this?  I want to get this started and rolling fairly quickly.  I would like to note that there will be a chance to role-play interactions between characters in between matches (which will all take place at once, on different sets of battlefields).

Spoiler: Sign-up Rules (click to show/hide)

1) At most 1 hero and 1 villain can be used from a single series in all applications.  If there was a restart to the series (eg. Spyro and Legend of Spyro), the restarts are each considered their own series.
2) The selected characters must have been major forces throughout the series, as defined in rule 1.
3) 3 characters must be selected.
4) You can mix heroes and villains on the same team.

Spoiler: Arena Grandmaster Gameplay Information (click to show/hide)

Everyone else will battle in a tournament of 8 in order to get the opportunity to have their characters become the arena grandmasters.  They must win a fight against the existing Grandmasters after the tourney to gret the position.  The Grandmasters each choose the terrain for each battle between each of the teams fighting, as well as creating additional regulations for each match.

Spoiler: The Team (click to show/hide)

I: The Apprentice
Origin: Dungeon Defenders
Role: Tower-builder
Abilities:
Exposition: An ability picked up more recently. Through a combination of divination, magically-enhanced intuition, and near-morbid bibliophilia, The Apprentice can quickly surmise information about nearly anything he encounters.
Mana Bolt: A bolt of magic is summoned and fired at the target. The magic ignores nonliving matter but is a dangerous attack. Strangely It doesn't cause injury--it whittles away at the enemy until it drops dead and slowly fades away. Killing an enemy this way causes several gem-like constructs made of acute magic, called Mana, to appear; these can charge the Summon Tower ability. (Such Mana can be gotten in other ways as well.)
Summon Tower: Some mana is infused into a staff, which holds itself upright. Towers can have many effects, but typically involve firing various kinds of projectiles at enemies. Mana can also upgrade these towers.

II: (The) Wander(er)
Origin: Shadow of the Colossus
Role: Protagonist
Abilities:
Iron Tough: Wander is difficult to slow, let alone kill. Falls from angry mountains knock him down for several seconds, electrical discharges that would turn a rhino to cinders give him pause, but it takes a massive effort to kill him.
Magical Sword: Wander has a magical sword. Among other qualities, it discharges bolts of magic to help take down enemies--especially larger creatures--and shines with a light that points to whatever object or being Wander is seeking at the moment. (Handy, except when he loses the sword.)
Master Archer: Wander rolls three times for any archery-based roll and takes half penalties for poor circumstances (poor weather, riding a horse, moving target, etc).

III: T(he). rex
Origin: Jurassic Park: Trespasser
Role: Antagonist
Abilities:
Clear Beta: T. rex causes many unpredictable effects in its environment. While a universe like its own leaves relatively few anomalies between rex and world to cause issues, between it and another universe--let alone a heavily bugged one of a different sort--odd things start to happen. Graphical and hitbox errors are the most common, which allows T. rex to follow the team. Oddly, these errors have also permanently corrupted its AI, with effects varying on universe.
Nigh Invulnerable: T. rex's coding is poor enough that it does not assimilate more advanced (or even significantly different) wound tracking very well. Thus, it is only taken down by whittling its hit points down to zero...which is absurdly difficult with most weapons.
Tyrant Lizard King: Bugged or no, T. rex is...well, a T. rex, which makes it rather frightening.

A team tossed together by fate or fortune, and stuck together because they actually work together well.

In progress! More detail, specifics, and/or abilities will be added once I understand the game better.

Alright, I think I covered a couple Special Abilities for each character. I'd like a bit of understanding on how the game will work before I get into too much detail. d20, d30, RtD, no specific system? Hit points, DF-like wounds, varies by arena? What?

DF-like ordinarily (unless there is something like the Original Series Spyro (4 hits no matter how strong) or Ratchet's nanotech from the orginal game of that series), but the Grandmasters could create an HP system for a match.  d100 is going to be used for accuracy/penetration depth.

This looks really cool, I'd join, but I've got enough on my plate right now.

If I did join, I'd get one of the gods from the Reus game. Or maybe a villian from Evil Genius.

Or is that just a wee bit OP?

I just had a suggestion for this. Would it be possible to make a sub team- say one member of the main team was dead a sub could be tagged in?

The people don't actually die, they are just knocked out.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

I see. But barring certain abilities (i.e Recarm, Wish, Fairy in a Bottle, Life, Children of the Grave) participants, once down, stay down, right?

Until the end of the match, yes.  (Truthfully, it less knock-out and more after-action full heal.)
