the way we decide is we first pick one or two we arent happy with. We PM it to the other judges, giving an explanation to try to convince the other judges. Then we all reply our pickand whoever gets the most votes, that character is gone. Im just hoping bordeur PM's me back soon to make an update.

Story:
Hatsuma is a runaway Shinobi. His powers are unique in the sense that he wasn't born with most of them, they are also deceptive in nature,since they have a life of their own.He was sent one day on a mission to assasinate a kunochi(female Shinobi) Little did he know that this mission would change his life.
In the beggining Hatsuma was born with the power to control fire.As he grew older his power increaesd and soon was implimented into his pheonix fighting style.In combat, Hatsuma was untouchable.His attacks were fierce and brutal. However, he never let this go to his head.He had an honor code which stated"never harm the innocent,and do not fight if you can avoid it."
One day he was sent to assasinate a runaway kunochi by the name of Iyaka. She was helping a family with bandit problems. According to the Shinobi code, this was punishable by death. When Hatsuma found her he couldn't kill her, he was in love.He alerted her to her peril and let her escape.This would prove to be his biggest mistake. He was monitored during this mission. When he let her go, he was marked for death. As a runaway he was forbbiden to return to his clan alive. Most of the extermination squads which were sent after him were sent home either injured or in more than one piece.One day, Hatsuma stumbled upon an old temple for shelter. When he went inside his eye caught a black luster on a Buddah Statue, when he approached it he discovered it was a black emerald. As soon as he picked it up he was engulfed in flames. The gem started to fuse into his body and into his heart.After the fussion Hatsuma fell, unconsceuss. When he woke up he felt a strange power growing inside of him.Unaware that he was discovered, Hatsuma stepped outside of the temple, as soon as he stepped out he was ambushed.Still weak from the fusion, Hatsuma couldn't defened himself.One of the ninjas rushed at him to cut off his right arm.As soon as the blade touched him,his skin turned into diamon and broke the blade on impact.Enraged,Hatsuma retaliated.He summoned a jade dragon which slaughtered his opponents. Hatsuma realized that he now had the power to control gem stones.He also realised that this new power came at the price of a piece of his humanity.
Late at night Hatsuma would wake up in a cold sweat, drenched in blood, with the bodies of those he slaughtered, among those was Iayka, the one he cared for the most. The Black Chaos would take over his body when he slept.After hundreds of lives taken, the Black Chaos evolved into part of his soul.It opened up a rift to Outworld using the negative energy of all the lives hatsuma took. The jewel promised him, that if he were to take more lives it would grant him anything he wanted. Hatsuma refused to willingly go against his code, even if it ment giving up a chance to see Iayka again. As he stepped through the portal, in the back of his mind, he knew there was someone out there that could give him piece or restor his humanity. He would find away to end his suffering, even if he had to sell his soul to do it.When he reached Outworld the jewel began to pulse. It started to take over his body. Almost all of his right arm was began to glow with the demonic power of the Black Chaos. This is where the Black Chaos was from. This is where it was strongest. As part of his soul the Black Chaos extended control into his mind. He was now a prisoner in his own body. "My will shall not be broken. I will free myself from this even if I have to go to the edge of death to do it." Hatsuma now wanders Outworld with the only thing that is keeping him himself is his will. As Hatsuma wanders through Outworld the Black Chaos is feeding of his soul. Slowly, Hatsuma becomes less and less human. The Black Chaos has consumed most of his soul. At one point Hatsuma collapsed from exhaustion, but his symbiotic soul would not let him die. Like all species, Hatsuma went through an evolution. The jewel consumed his right arm, transforming it from a state of solid matter to a state of spectral flame. The jewel needed to feed on the death of the innocent, and since Hatsuma's will and code kept it at bay, the jewel had no choice, it started to slowly devour his body. "No!!! I don't care what happens to me, I will not kill to feed your hunger." "You will kill, you will obey me and if you resist you will perish." Hatsuma's spectral arm was incased in a black diamond shell which could harness the savage power now in his fist. Like before, the price of power came at the price of his humanity. This time however, instead of taking over what the Black Chaos already had, it increased the rate of consumption of Hatsuma's body. His body is battered and beaten, Hatsuma's will begins to fade and the Black Chaos grows stronger. Hatsuma's natural gift of fire has been transformed into a dark flame which is no longer harnessed from his soul, but from the deepest reaches of the Underworld. Hatsuma is far from the ninja he once was, he is now smothing much more evil and much more mercyless.
P.S. If your wandering how his level ties with his story, here's an explanation. Hatsuma gives up hope of ever finding help. He learns of a technology that can extract souls from their bodies. He decides that is the only way he can stop himself. He now searches for this technology which happens to be in the Lin Kuei lab.

I think a boot and immune game with these chars would own!

Sry this is late, but I wanted to know if I could make an addition to my character be4 you judge again. I will wait until you give me the ok, though.

lol That would be cool. Maybe you should bring that up to tgrant?

$anitariuM Wrote: I think a boot and immune game with these chars would own!

I don't think it'd be a problem, there seems to be a little bit of a delay at the moment. So I don't think the second round has begun yet...hmmm maybe your right though, about waiting I mean...Don't wan't to ruffle any feathers so to speak lol.

Well I posted my character's bio and now everyone can see it.

I'm anxious to see who will get booted, anyone here have AIM?

Cool now people can see Him. I just hope the game gets on soon.

Nope sorry dude, no AIM. I myself am anxious for the next round.

Me, too. There's a lot of good characters here. I read all of them, and personally, I could not be a judge, b/c I would be stumped as to who to boot out of here. lol

LOL I have the same problem man, I couldn't choose! They're all fantastic.

Indeed, if i could draw for shit i would draw a pic of my guy ;o

BTW his alignment is evil

It would be great if you added stuff to your character as long as you dont change it haha. Just make sure you post all your characters info over again or edit your character info so we wont get confused.

I might have to edit this post already with the character who will be booted. Michelle_the_bell and myself had a good idea who should be booted and we are pretty clear and agreed on one character. So im going to update it pretty soon.

We need to make like an AIM chat or something ;o I wanna have live updates!

Alright! Glad to hear we'll be moving soon.

Tom... i was browsing google and found this,

----------------------------
1.Scythe
2.Senim
3.Ninto
4.Hatsuma
5.Hellscream
6.Bezou
7.Assault
8.Blitz
9.Tai Tsung
10.Caydeal
---------------------------------------------
"THE CHALLENGERS":
1. Phoenix
2.
---------------------------------------------

Michelle_the_bell and myself have agreed to boot one character. Trust me it wasnt easy. And as we move along even further its going to get harder and harder to decide. As far as Phoenix that character has the potential to replace one of the current characters. Phoenix's story was pretty good, i liked how he made him original in his own way, and not give him the same moves as sub-zero just because he was in the lin kuei. I also liked the character design, how he was made of cyborg parts but not completely, and the moves were awesome too. Now who will he replace? He will replace.................

Blitz. My reasons why we booted you was because firstly the character design, you said his outfit was like sub-zeros but in a white color, that really made me pick you. Not much originality. The moves were ok and the stage fatality was awesome. But you lacked the character design. A character with great moves isnt always loved by everyone. They usually go by their appearance. What Michelle_the_bell disliked was the characters name. She said it wasnt original, and that the character design was not very creative. Please isk8element21 don?t be discouraged. Try again and create something even greater. It wasnt easy choosing who was going to be booted. Thank you very much isk8element21 for participating .

Congratulations phoenixwarrior

Congrats to Phoenix!

Okay, thanks tgrant for the comments. I hope the topic helps now.
Nice to see that the tournament is getting more participants and more creative.
Thanks to the judges for their help.
I don't have to be here for the game to be in progress, you judges can decide amongst yourselves hoping that most of you'll are there would be better, and if any changes are necessary, i'll edit them and let you'll know.
Okay, so far, it seems pretty good, oh and i forgot to put you blitz on the list, i was in a hurry, i had to go offline, it was getting late, so i had to go through the forum quickly.
The first change has subzero and blitz knocked out, by phoenix and Hatsuma.
Excellent job guys.

Note: Eventually, the tournament will need fixes and new ideas will be implemented to help make the tournament better and faster and more creative. I'm sure you guys will come up with fantastic ones, but for now, we'll go with the basics and have fun! Thanks

regarding Blitz... his fit isnt exactly like subs ..i just didnt have time to explain ..i had to leave...And his name Blitz is german for flash...which ties into his moves..after i posted everything about him ..i thought of alot better stuff..jis history and everything but ..guess i was too late ..thx anywaze

Well, you can always update your character and try makin em better to challenge the positions again, although it would be tough, so i suggest spending some time on your character, i'm sure it'll improve. If you make little changesto your character after being knocked out and enter the tournament expecting to knockout one of the contenders, i don't think you're getting anywhere.
