NAME: Osouf Amir

Checks out with 0.5 points remaining. Do you want to change the Adequate Spearman into an Adequate Pikeman skill? They cost the same.

That would be fantastic! Thanks!

Lore:
Ine is a black-faced impala man, who after being cast out for his bachelor trials, decided to follow a party of hill-dwarves mining copper in the dry shrublands of his home.  When the foul goblins fell upon the small prospecting company, he became entranced with the shiny properties of the dwarven survivors' armor and weapons.  He followed the prospector's retreat to the hills, after scavenging gear from the fallen.  Training each night in the dusk outside of camp, he has taught himself some of the language of the dwarves and the use of their weapons and armor.  Ine believes that entry into the tournament will assure him a place of prestige when he returns to the herd afterwards, but the full details of what the tournament entail may have been lost on this fame-seeking impala man...

In spirit of good fun, I'm going to have to attempt to appeal this 'being inclined toward disallowing a creature.'

Bogeymen are eligible to transform into most of the non-vermin, and non-under_swim creatures, and as such, the RNG is weighted far more toward sticking me with something awful or underwhelming, like a rhesus masque or a penguin, then it is toward landing me with a giant elephant during a round.


Or you could turn into a giant alligator, a saltwater crocodile, an anaconda...several of which break the 300 size cap. When we spawned a bunch of bogeymen in the arena, we did not see them take harmless forms. While RNG is a part of DF and the Tournament, it is not, and should not be the deciding factor in either. We, the tournament organizers are all in agreement on this.

Free clothing wise, does a cloth Shirt, Chausses, and Hood work for you? Or do you just want a Robe and Hood for similar coverage?

Name: Athra Acikadis (Clawclosed)
Race: Reptile man (235)

Equipment:
  • Copper cap (13 rounded up)
  • Leather armor (12)
  • Leather gloves (4)

Skills:
  • Proficient wrestler (60)
  • Adequate striker (12)
  • Skilled biter (40)
  • Skilled dodger (50)
  • Competent observer (18)
  • Competent discipline (18)
  • Adequate armor user (6)

Total spent: 233

Athra was hunting in a cavernous lake for food when he found a bright opening above him with sounds of battle coming from the other side. Curious he climbed up through the opening (apparently a sewer grate of some kind) and found himself inside some kind of holding area where a bunch of warriors were preparing to do battle inside an arena. The gladiator handler spotted him and quickly fixed the obvious error on his ledger before pointing to him and shouting "You're next!"

Name: Morris Sr
Race: Goblin
Points: 220
Points Used: 220

Skills:
Professional Fighter (135)
Proficient Dodger (75)
Novice Wrestler (4)
Novice Observer (3)
Novice Discipline (3)

Equipment:
None

Clothes:
Cave spider silk robe (0)
Cave spider silk trousers (0)
A pair of cave spider silk chausses (0)

Points Left: 0

Backstory:
After his son's spectacular failure in last year's tournament, the Morris clan have become a laughing stock. Their dojo that trained their students in the way of The Crab, a martial art that seeks to teach people how to kill crabs by imitating them, soon collapsed, and their students left. Rumour has it that this was partially caused by the dojo's extremely strict selection process based on certain physical qualities, but Morris Sr is adamant that the fall of the dojo had nothing to do with him being a perverted old man. Although he did not deny the latter.

Morris Sr the father of Morris Jr, claims to have had to endure the worst of this humiliation caused by his son's loss. He has practically been ostracized by the rest of his clan due to the failure of his son. As such, he has been waiting for the chance to clear the name of his clan and bring honour once more to the Morris name.

He has spent the past year honing his skills and training. Which he claims involves equal parts practicing martial arts, fishing for crabs, and admiring fine artwork of the tasteful variety.

Morris Sr appears to be nothing but an old man, but looks can be deceiving. Under that bad posture, decades of wrinkles, and slow movement, is a mind well trained in martial arts. As such we recommend all contestants and spectators to avoid walking too close, as his reflexes defy his age.

I'm pretty sure they aren't on account of some of them having abilities that give them an edge in combat. Stuff like feel no pain, no need to breathe, the ability to throw fire balls, or skin made of hard material, etc.
