Somewhere in the multiverse, a large stadium stands. It is an extremely large stadium, enough to hold hundreds of thousands of the various creatures that can be found across all universes. Usually its used for the various fights held there, but today is a special occasion.
A tall man in a red suit walks down a long hallway, the roaring screams of the large crowd can easily be heard. The man stops for a second and lights a cigarette, he takes a puff from it and continues walking.
After what seems like an eternity he walks out of the hallway and onto the bottom of the stadium, he grins and pulls out a microphone. “Welcome one and all to the Heroic Clash!” , the crowd roars in excitement. “This year we have eight brand new contestants, all completely different from each other. Let’s introduce them now!”.
Large floating screens float around the stadium, showing everyone the first of the eight contestants. The screens showed a green lizard-like humanoid standing on a barren landscape. The lizard man then pulls out a book and writes something down, and then suddenly plants and trees grow from the ground transforming the landscape into a lush jungle.
The man smiles and say’s into the microphone “Say hello to Tyetoechl, a renowned scholar in his world. He carries an ancient book which allows him to write anything down, and that becomes a reality!” the crowd cheers, albeit a bit disappointed that the lizard man isn’t a bloodthirsty warrior.
The screen flickers, and then changes to show a few asian soldiers playing cards. Suddenly the wall bursts open, and a tall scarred man leaps through the hole in the wall and runs to the nearest solider. He picks one of them up and throws him at a nearby wall, breaking his spine. Another soldiers tries to bash him over the head with his gun, but the scarred man turns around and kicks him. The soldier is launched into the air, and lands a few feet away.
“Meet Wesley King, also know as the Queens Knight! A super soldier created by his government, he has the strength of ten men and he is faster than one too!” the crowd cheers, clearly excited to see him in action.
The next clip shows a crystalline creature holding a large futuristic weapon, it spots a group of enemy soldiers and it springs into action. It throws a small ball at the group and when it lands it launches out a flurry of lazer beams, killing a few of the enemy soldiers. It throws another small ball and it splits into several smaller balls in midair, the small balls home onto the remaining enemies and once they get near the target they explode.
“Welcome one of the few contestants actually willing to join this battle, Xyl! A crystalline creature who is an expert in various forms of advanced weaponry, expect him to be bagging a few kills in the future!”.
The view changes again to pitch darkness, all that can be seen is a human running from some unkown threat. Suddenly, a man jumps out of the shadow and lands on the running human and plunges a knife into its back. The man then drags the body out of sight, and disappears into the darkness. “This intimidating figure is Cohen “Whirl” Brayden, watch out because this gentleman could kill you in a second. And he won’t think twice about it!”.
Next is a clip showing a young red headed human sitting on the ground with his eyes closed. A shadow lurks behind him slowly getting closer, just as its about to leap at him the human rolls out of the way and pulls out a large knife. He jumps on top of the creature and stabs it multiple times, once the creatures is dead the human returns to his original spot and sits down.
“This psychic human is Rederick! He has the power to see things others cannot, and detect things that others would never know!”
The next shot shows two men standing on the deck of a ship, they both suddenly pull out their swords and begin to trade blows with eachother. One of the humans, the one that has an odd set of clothing suddenly rolls to the left and slashes at his opponents legs. The other human lets out a scream and falls to the floor, the winner takes his sword and plunges it into the opponents head.
“This 18th century Lieutenant is Samuel Pierce, atleast that’s what he thinks! He is actually an android, created to perform in recreations of great battles. After realizing this he escaped, and that’s the point where we picked him up!”
The view then pans to a village, it shows farmers doing their daily work as usual. But then a house suddenly lights on fire, and then another, and another, and another until most of the village is in flames! The villagers work desperately to put the fire out, but some of the villages even start to burst into flames. The view then changes to a human looking creature, made entirely of fire standing on a hilltop looking over the village. Seeing that her job is done, she turns and leaves.
“This feisty devil is Felicia! A former human turned into an undead fire servant, trust me when I tell you this lady is hot!”
The last shot shows a drunk man walking down a dark street, judging from the tattoo on his arm and the chains in his hand it shows that he is a slaver. The man hears something behind him and he sluggishly turns around, he lets out a scream of surprise as a loud bang is heard. The slaver falls to the ground, and behind him is a small goblin holding a flintlock pistol.
“Our last, and smallest contestant Chimerus! A former slave, he killed his owner and ran away to join our little contest.” With all of the contestants introduced the man in the red suit say’s “Well now that we’ve introduced all of the contestants its time for a little break, in a bit we’ll throw them into their first arena!” and with that the man was gone.
Far away from the stadium, in a large room the contestants woke up.
They were in a large white room, void of any objects except for a one way glass window and a speaker attached to the wall. "Ah, I see the contestants have woken up. You eight can mingle for a bit, then we'll throw you into the arena".
(Feel free to have your character's chat amongst eachother now, try not to kill eachother yet!)
