The World Martial Arts Tournament.
For centuries the tournament has been held so that the strongest fighters in the world can prove their skills and discover which is deserving of the title champion. The event is one that so many travel the globe to see and take part in, the collection of fighters present always some of the greatest ever to assemble in one place. Since the publishing of Gohan’s book, Groundbreaking Science, and general acceptance of other races on Earth, the tournament has become quite the spectacle. No longer does someone lifting off the ground or launching a Ki blast so easily draw cheers from the crowd. For any that have watched one of these tournaments the showcase of martial skill is surely unmatched.
The largest compound in Monarch Heights was owned by none other than Prometheus Zex. Attached to his master bedroom was a grand balcony that overhung the elaborate courtyard he had built. A number of exotic plants dotted the small ecosystem, small critters scurrying from plant to plant, always trying to hide from their alien lords eyes. Lifting his eyes Zed was able to look at a relatively large chunk of Alpha Prime, the large structure his pride and joy.
Over the years a certain stigma had grown about the Collective, the small system seen as a place for criminals and cutthroats. Its ruler knew this was not the complete truth. Sure the Collective had its share of vagabonds and unsavory characters, but didn’t most cultures? Prometheus Zex planned to change the galaxies outlook on the Omega Collective and he had taken steps weeks ago to do just that. Smiling to himself the dark skinned alien knew today the day his plan would be revealed. ”Remember today brother, it is the day Alpha Prime becomes the new focus of the galaxy, but for reasons other than its criminals.” Wrath would only grunt at the statement, always confident that his older brother knew what he was doing. After all Prometheus was the brains, and Wrath the brawn.
Weeks ago Zex had initiated the launch of dozens of small silver orbs, each of them no larger than one of those basketballs the humans so enjoyed on Earth. One third of the spheres had been sent for Namek, while the rest had headed in the direction of Earth and its moon. All of them had been directed to wait just outside of their destinations respective orbital fields…until today.
Spread out around their targets the orbs reactivate, forcing their way through the atmospheres of the planets and down towards their surface. If any were to notice their descent all they would see was the glint of sunlight reflecting off their polished surface. As they balls closed in on the surface they slow, sensors on their exterior able to detect anything or anyone they might collide with. The greatest concentration of them focused on places like Central City, New Vegeta, the Guru’s village and Piccolo City, but others had been programmed to spread out the best they could.
Many would not arrive unnoticed the sudden appearance of a floating sphere on a crowded city street the sort of even to draw attention from passersby. Hovering in place the devices do nothing for a couple of minutes, checking their systems and making sure they had arrive in the appropriate destinations. Once their locations had been confirmed and registered they activate. From opposite sides of the spheres a small pre-recorded hologram appears in the shape of Prometheus Zex, the tall dark alien dressed in his usually robes, hands folded calmly behind his back.
”Greetings brothers and sisters from the corners of the known universe. For those of you that do not know who I am, my name is Prometheus Zex. I am the benefactor and Lord of Alpha Prime and I hope this message finds you in good health and spirit. I ask for only a moment of your time so that I may extend an offer to those that might be interested.
The end of this millennium draws near and I wish to celebrate it by hosting what I have dubbed The First Annual Galactic Tournament. Any fighter that wishes to test himself is welcome to join and all that wish to be spectators are also welcome to attend. In the spirit of competition I promise that all rounds in the tournament will be purely for sport and not fights to the death.
I realize that a trip to Alpha Prime is not free and I will personally front the bill for any and all that decide to attend. Now I realize that The Omega Collective does not have the best reputation, but I can assure you these tales are not true. So please, come participate in the tournament or simply enjoy the spectacle and I assure you these misconceptions will be washed away. Alpha Prime is a home to any that wish to live here and now the official host of the galaxies first Galactic Tournament.
Upon its completion the announcement would begin to replay itself after a small pause, the silver orbs starting to slowly float along, spreading the word on the upcoming Galactic Tournament. Between the numerous orbs and word of mouth it would not take long for the news to spread. The first Galactic Tournament was soon to begin. What assortment of fighters might it host and which of them would rise to become its first champion?
Mini Saga Event - The Galactic Tournament
(OOC - The Galactic Tournament is going to be our first Saga based event. As stated in the rules saga's offer increased PL rewards among the potential for other benefits. In order to let people get their characters a little more established this Saga will not start until July 1st. However, we would like those interested in joining to post under this thread with the character they will be entering by June 28th. Now we realize that a couple of you have multiple characters, but we request that you only enter one for the simple fact it will be bracket based and the possibility of one individuals two characters getting paired up against each other is unfair, and not allowed since rping with yourself in not allowed. The bracket set up will be randomized since we quite literally plan to draw names from a hat since we believe a random draw is the fairest way.
The tournament will take place in an amount of rounds needed to establish a winner, with each round lasting up to two weeks. This is so that everyone will have a chance to roleplay their fight and come to a decision on their own for who is the victor, which is common practice in his type of role playing site. However, we realize that two players might not so easily come to a decision so after two weeks if a fight is still going on we as admins will vote on who we think deserves to win and that will be the outcome. This is set in place so that one fight does not go on for two months and stall the Saga. In the case that everyone finishes their fight in a week the next round will start sooner.
When the Tournament begins we will also be announcing some sort of exhibition type matches so those that happen to lose in the first round can have a second match to take advantage of the Saga bonuses if they wish. We look forward to this as our first Saga and hope you are all interested to join. Please PM us with any questions you may have!)
Also, any threads you have open when this Saga starts can of course continue and be finished. At the start of each round, anyone in a fight will have their PL locked until their fight is over, but you can still do training rps and the such just know your PL wont be added until the fight you are in is over.
