OK... my first entry ever for a gladiator tournament. Here we go.

"Borberrorb the Thirsty"

Dark gnome: 290 points

Steel dagger -64
Featherwood buckler -22.5

Proficient dodger -75
Skilled fighter -30
Proficient knife user -75
Adequate shield user -12
Novice discipline -3
Novice observer -3

(5.5 remaining)

Lore:
Over the past month, Borberrorb got caught no fewer than 12 times in the cage trap leading to the booze stockpile of the arena.
The last time, rather than trying to talk some sense into the dark gnome, the arena staff decided not to bother and made him a last minute entry for the gladiator tournament instead. Even though he is now caged, Borberrorb seems to be blissfully unaware that he was signed up for anything at all.

Aww yeah, gnome power! Love the picture Bralbaard.

This is your first time in the tournament? I have been a part of the last 4 and they're super fun!

Wow. I believe Kesperan has just won adventurer mode.

Steel Crossbow - 96 pts
Expert Crossbowman - 108 pts
Competent Dodger - 30 pts
Competent Observer - 18 pts
Novice Discipline - 3 pts
5 pts left

Bruis is wearing what looks like a black blanket tied as a cape. No one can understand what he is saying, but he is frequently seen standing in dark corners holding the blanket halfway over his face and mumbling deep raspy noises.

Unfortunately, Competent Dodger is 30 points, not 24, which exceeds your point limit. Would Adequate Dodger (15 points) be alright?

I have decided to reduce points in Discipline instead. Novice Discipline for 3 points, Competent Dodger for 30 points. I've been trying to use the gladiator builder spreadsheet but some of the values in my copy seem incorrect. I think it all adds up now. Sorry about that.

NAME: James "Mephit-One" Misayuki
RACE: Skunk Man (250)

EQUIPMENT: Iron Mail Shirt (48 pts)

Iron Long Sword (48 pts)

SKILLS:
Proficient Fighter: 45 pts
Talented Swordsman: 105 pts
Novice Armor User (2 pts)

SPENT: 248 pts
EXTRA: 2 pts

BACKSTORY: This Skunk Man seems rather floofy and anxious. In an alternate universe, he was a fighter pilot. In this timeline, he entered a gladiator tournament in a quest for glory, even if it results in his death!

(I can't write good backstory, sorry. Expect his next of kin next year using his coffin as a weapon, and a running gag where each tournament has HIS next of kin, and HIS next of kin, using a coffin with their dead bodies in it as misc object users. I had to cobble this fighter together in a serious hurry because I originally didn't want to participate but changed my mind literally last minute >.>)

Name: Bughead

Race: Drone Ant Man

Points used: 277/280 (3 remaining)

Skills:
  • Skilled Fighter (30)
  • Talented Spearant (105)
  • Proficient Dodger (75)
  • Competent Observer (18)
  • Adequate Discipline (9)

Equipment:
  • Iron Spear (40)

Background:
Bughead shudders and begins to move. He looked around confused. He was dead, but not anymore. He also wasn't undead, at least he didn't think so, considering the headache he's been having since the moment he woke up. Resurrection isn't that nice, but at least it beats dying. He remembers all that happened, his time in the hive and his journeys after he was exiled, his fights in the arena and that unlucky hit. That was it, an unlucky hit that he should've prepared for better.

Wandering about, Bughead realised that he's still in Arena City, days after the tournament ended. At least the Reaper didn't win, he thought to himself. He would've loved to fight Papi in the finals. He had the fight planned before he even faced the Reaper. But he's alive, and he still has a chance.

During the time between the tournaments, Bughead enjoyed a pretty good life, thanks to the fame he earned. None of his kin have ever achieved as much as he did in the tournament, despite many having tried. But Bughead remembered what he needed to do: prepare for the next one. Death took a toll on him, and he was in no fighting shape. When the next tournament starts, he will be ready for it.

**Diago Pastor 53rd**

**RACE:** Roach Man

**POINTS:** 260

**SKILLS:** Fighter 4 (SKILLED) (30)

SPEAR USER 4 (SKILLED) (50)

DODGE 4 (SKILLED) (50)

SHEILD USER 2 (ADEQUATE) (12)

OBSERVER 2 (ADEQUATE) (9)

DISCIPLINE 1 (NOVICE) (3)

**EQUIPMENT:**

WOODEN BUCKLER (22.5)

STEEL SPEAR (80)

**LEFTOVER POINTS**
3.5

**BACKGROUND:** "Hola my fans and worthy adversaries, my name is Diago Pastor the 53rd! You may remember my brother, Carlos Pastor the 113th,  but unlike him, and many of my 254 brothers and sisters, am not a knife fighter. After the brutal strike that felled my late brother, I looked to use the skills he developed and expand them in a different direction, the spear. While this has saddened many of my fellow family members, I seek to show them that this combat style is valid and is a new path to glory for our family."

"I seek to do this for the 200 siblings watching me at home! With the death of my brother, we have now lost 54 siblings. In his memory, I have taken his knife as the head of my spear.  I only hope that our dear mother can forgive me should I disgrace both my brother and the family."

"However I know that I will make my brother proud and ensure that he his remembered by everyone for the proud, strong warrior that I and my family know he is! Though he died young, he was one of the greatest knife fighters we had ever seen!"

"As my brother once said in these hallowed grounds! I wish the best of luck to my competitors! You are all great in spirit and pride and I cannot think of better foes to seek battle against! GOOD LUCK! AND MAY THE BEST MAN WIN THE TITLE!"
