Yup. There are three horses up for grabs, including me.

[Gervassen]

No, Dwarmin, when I say something is a cluttered mess, it's because it's a cluttered mess. OP needs to be a little more out front on the organisation of the tournament. Something like this would have helped in the first post:

Knights

Spoiler: Antoine Gerraos, Knight (Rolepgeek) (click to show/hide)

Full Name: Antoine Gerraos
Title: Baron
Age: 33
Description: Dark black hair, tan skin, and blue eyes. Muscular, but in a way that suggests real strength, not body-building. Somewhat short, and has some scars, but mostly on his arms, particularly around the joints where enemies have tried to dig in daggers and other small weapons have gotten through.
Short Bio: Antoine is an experienced knight, having been blooded in many battles, but this has not made him bitter or cruel, as it does with many. Rather, it has taught him moderation, and while he is not in his peak as he once was, he is good-natured and known to be so, and can engage in a battle of wits better than most.

Spoiler: Norton, Knight (Grizzly) (click to show/hide)

Name: Hemingsworth Norton Tinklebottom
Title: Knight-errant, second son of the lord of Quigsly Castle & the province of Fibblewibble
Age: 20
Description: A lad of decent looks- his brown eyes bulge a bit, but his bones are well-placed. He keeps his light-brown hair short/cropped. Clean-shaven.
Short bio: Like most lads of his status & circumstance, he went out with the wealth and name provided by his father to earn a place among this land's lord-retainers.
Avatar: Haha! Found a perfect one. (though older)

Lancery 5
Charm 4

Spoiler: Samuel Stone, Knight (Gervassen) (click to show/hide)

Full Name: Sir "Stone Cold" Samuel Stone
Title: Count of Folesden
Age: 28
Description: Thick-boned, lantern-jawed, and farmer-tanned. He has a hulking strong physique from years of bailing hay and heaving his adversaries right out of the tourney lists.
Short Bio: A former peasant , Count Stone became a knight after body-slamming and then pile-driving an enemy who was about to slay his king in battle. His non-stop smack-talking and brazen braggadocio outside the wrestling ring tourney lists might confuse his enemies into thinking that his game is offensive. In fact, his humble upbringing precluded martial training, and he simply waits behind his shield, until the enemy is "totally gassed" and then he tosses his helpless opponents around like sacks of grain, just like back home on the farm.

Horses

Spoiler: Antigones, Horse (Harbinger) (click to show/hide)

• Full Name: Antigones the Unhinged
• Age: 22/25
• Breed: Mixed
• Description: A vicious false-horse stands before you!
• Short Bio: In hindsight, naming both their sons after their father was probably not the best decision of Mr and Mr Gates' lives. Thankfully, the father had passed away before his grandsons went insane, otherwise Ithey might have had to come up with an animal with 6 legs for them to imitate. Even more luckily, they each only had one son.

Ox the Tongue-tied, Squire (Gervassen)

Only because you no pay attention! *whacks on head with bamboo shoot*

And, I believe we have all the players we need anyway.

Yeah, you'd like to think I'm not paying attention, wouldn't you!?

With your pathetic line-up of "Team Evil" rag-tag chumps, y'all grim-dark dingbats gonna need all the sneaky tricks you can get away with. Probably dreaming right now that no one has your shifty crew in their evil-purging gaze. Time to wake up, Sleeping Beauty. I got your number already, and your number is... ZERO CHANCE of winning this shit. I'mma lay the smackdown on all y'alls evil arses. So sit down and start taking notes on how this here game is played.

I'm "Stone Cold" Samuel Stone, Knight of Feroshire and Winner of Hundreds of Knightly Duels--IN A STEEL CAGE!

Spoiler: Samuel Stone, Knight (Gervassen) (click to show/hide)

Full Name: Sir "Stone Cold" Samuel Stone
Title: Count of Folesden
Age: 28
Description: Thick-boned, lantern-jawed, and farmer-tanned. He has a hulking strong physique from years of bailing hay and heaving his adversaries right out of the tourney lists over the fences.
Short Bio: A former peasant, Count Stone became a knight after body-slamming and then pile-driving an enemy who was about to slay his king in battle. His non-stop smack-talking and brazen braggadocio outside the wrestling ring tourney lists might confuse his enemies into thinking that his game is offensive.

Change my character from squire to a knight. GWG and Grek, let's do this here. GWG is a talking horse, so between us three, we have a lot of charisma and star power. I vote our team be called Team Braggadocio.

Wait! I want to join! Any empty spots?

I changed to a knight, so squire now has an opening.




 

[hermes]

Wow, that's fantastic, thanks Gervassen!  To be fair I've been at work all day   Will take that info and put into the teams in the OP.

Edit - OK, there are enough free players, I think, for two more teams, with one left over.  If there is an incomplete team, we'll see about letting a smaller team compete.

[Parsely]

Who wants me?


•Full Name: Lap Umomen
•Age: 14
•Description: A young boy with dark black hair, light brown skin, sad eyes with a light of intelligence and a lean physique. He's eager to make a difference and very skilled at his work. He's protective of his lord, and won't hesitate to start a fight in his name. His pride often gets the better of him, and he tends to resent anyone who isn't of the desert. He always wears his tan coloured cap.
•Short Bio: Lap, unlike most squires, is a foreigner. He belongs to a house of lesser nobles of the nation Jariss, in the desert lands, which had a reputation for producing some of the finest and most loyal soldiers in existence, and the sultanate often drew from them to provide members for the royal guard. In 100 years, no sultan had ever been assassinated or killed on the field. Unfortunately the guard could do nothing to prevent political turmoil, and when the sultanate dissolved after it was absorbed by the Westerners, House Umomen had nowhere to go. Now they have been reduced to fighting for other countries as mercenaries, many of them becoming knights in the process. Lap is one of these dishonoured nobles, and longs to bring his house back to its former glory.

I'll form a new team. And we'll call it.. Uhh.. :l

Changed my points around a little bit once I realized I had screwed up the total.

Yup. This is gonna be good. Three team mambers capable of pretending to be human, with the actual human being the least convincing.

Team Uhh. Sounds...intimidating.

[Parsely]

Form Team Uhh!

[hermes]

Heh, the squire and horse in your team are likely to do far more damage than the knight.

This is, as someone guessed, partially (largely?) based on A Knight's Tale.  Who doesn't love Paul Bettany and Heath Ledger??

At least one more team needs to form.  And the fake-horse has to find a rider or the tourney will not begin.

Form Team Uhh!

Roger.  Keep the standard honourable, please.
