Well well, it has been a while! Glad i had this account from a... somewhat ancient iteration of this tournament back in 2015.

Joanna D’Grandsknecht

All sorts flock to the arena. In this case, a seven foot tall lizardwoman mercenary, with a nasty halberd and a nastier attitude, informally known as Joanna the Goanna.
Packing only the essentials, definitely not because she got drunk and lost half her kit, she's unshakably confident. Either that, or its hard to read nerves on a lizard's face.

Name: Malchus

Race: Lion Man (+175)

Equipment:
Iron Halberd (-56)

Skills:
Proficient Axeman (-90)
Novice Discipline (-3)
Adequate Dodger (-15)

SPENT: 164
LEFTOVER: 11

Backstory:

Malchus was a bred to battle. Decades long breeding experiments by a crazed civilization wanted to create the best warrior. They wanted to make someone who could compete with vampires, titans, and eventually... those that lurk beneath. Malchus was entered into this tournament to display his skill and to bring others into the fold, to accept this breeding program to make lots of lionfolk heroes. Malchus' self worth is tied directly to his battle prowess, due to his experiment like upbringing. He already had to beat a rival competitor from his own fortress to make it this far... His own best friend, a hyenaman whip wielding madman. It pained him to kill his friend, and yet it showed his value to society and therefore was worth it. It had to be worth it, just as the deaths due to come must be worth it so that more of his kin can be bred for heroic deeds.

Hi all, I hope there is still some space for this sweet boy!

Sweetteeth

Leech Man (250)

Skills:
Proficient Wrestler -60
Proficient Biter -60
Novice Dodger -5
Adequate Fighter -9

Equipment:
Black bronze helm -24
Black bronze breast plat -40
Black bronze greaves -36
Black bronze gauntlets -16

Remaining Points: 0

Known to his friends as Sweety (his real name is unknown, since his face seems mainly to consist of a gaping round hole of teeth), this agreeable fellow became a good friend to a dwarven fortress when he was found deep in the lower caverns, stuck on a towering demon who nearly broke into the fortress proper, sucking its boiling demon blood and minding his business. When the distracted (and visibly discomforted) demon was struck, the dwarves didn’t know anything better to do with Sweety, now unlatched, than shoving him into some spare armor and enlisting him in the fortress’s Wrestling Squad. Currently lacking any demons or forgotten beasts to throw him on, and to keep Sweety nice and turgid, they decided to submit him to this years tournament. Telling by his increasing drooling and eager snapping of his mouth hole, Sweety seems to enjoy the idea.

Excited! Glad to get in a couple of days before the deadline :)
I've been doing this every year since the third. Was u/black_n on Reddit.

Slappybara

Capybara Man (220)

Skills:
Competent Striker (24)
Competent Dodger (30)

Equipment:
Adamantine Gauntlets (96)

Remaining Points: 70

A capybara man who got called cute one too many times, Slappybara now travels the world fighting in every underground wrestling tournament he can get into to prove his macho.
He sneaks his trademark cyan "brass" knuckles into every fight he gets into, and they always pack a punch (or a slap, rather). Secretly, he likes being called cute, though.

Sharpfist

Hyena Man (215)

Skills:
Proficient Fighter (45)
Talented Knife User (105)
Competent Dodger (30)
Novice Observer (3)

Equipment:
Large Iron Dagger (32)

Remaining Points: 0

Backstory:
Sharpfist was always unstable, even for a hyena. At a very young age he fashioned his own dagger out of a piece of iron he found outside and now he never goes anywhere without it. He loved hunting small critters with his knife, and his parents feared he might try to kill someone, so they signed him up for this, so he could kill and they wouldn't have to worry about him.

Logan the Wolverine Man

Hello this is such an awesome idea! I am a new entrance and hope there are still spaces left! Let me know if I goofed up as well...

Logan the Wolverineman fights to avenge Jean the beautiful sorceress who has been captured by the evil emperor. Logan had been captured by the same evil emperor who had forced to drink a powerful elixir that gave him the ability to regenerate however drove him into a maddening bloodlust and amplified his rage. Logan attempts to fight his way through the brutal gladiatorial ranks and tales of his fearsome prowess and indomintable spirit spread like wild fire, reaching Jean's ears. Her heart clings to the hope that her beloved wolverine, now a slave, still existed within the violent shell he had become.

Comp Fighter   30
Talented Knife   105
L. Iron Daggers (2)   64
Lion Leather mask   5
Adequate Dodger   15
Lion Leather Armor   12
Lion Leather Leggings   7

How do these feather-light gauntlets slap anyone? :D
