Canon Battle Tournament Low Power Level Division

[Giant Brother]

Fight Organizer GB here. I've always liked playing Canon CHaracters, so I figured I'd start one of the best ways to play them. A battle tournament! Here is a compiled list of rules:

1. I've divided the tournament into power level categories. One for each power level. The thread you are looking at right now is for Low Powered characters. Just as a reminder, Low Power Level characters are normal people. Either they have no supernatural powers or the few they have make them on par with normal or exceptional (but still average) people. Captain Picard from Star Trek, Batman, Lex Luthor and Stormtroopers are good examples of low power level characters.

2. This tournament is for canon characters only. A canon character, for those who have a few gaps in their knowledge of the term, are characters that already exist, from books, movies, games, ect.. Please provide a link to some basic info on your character, wikipedia works great for this. Also, please be up to date on your character. For example, Metal Sonic was previously a lower power level, but with the powers he has received in the recent Sonic games, he has boosted in power.

3. The fights of this will be simple, elimination matches using a style from the old EAB that I have.... well, grown attached to. Matches will last 80 "turns". This means that not counting the posts for the basic introduction of characters and a victory post, each fighter gets only 40 posts. In other words, fighter one, on the first attack, must post (1st post, whoever Vs. whoever). The other fighter then posts his retaliation with (2nd post...) and the fight continues like that.

5. Now, the arena. The arena will be chosen at random selection by myself, if it is my fight, one of the judges will select the area. These arenas will be based on any of the characters in the tournament, though not exactly those fighting, like Super Smash Bros. In other words, let's say someone uses HK-47. Taking this character's story, we may have an arena like the Ebon Hawk. Understood?

6. Let's keep it clean gentlemen. Do not use a technique that a character does not have. For example, Mario does not have ESP, so he won't use it. If you can prove that your character has such abilities, that is fine, but I will have done drastic research. I will know what you're capable of, and if I don't, I'll find out.

7. Remember the time limit rule on the RP rules. You have only so long before you forfeit by default. We'll send you a warning when your time is almost up. Please try to make sure you have the time for this befroe joining. If you have a good reason for holding us up for a long time, we'll let it slide, things can happen.

I think that's all. So, to buisness! We'll start with eight combatents. I shall use Andrew Waltfeld, from Gundam SEED.

I would like to enter the Shogunate assassin Sara. If not her, then I'll go ahead and fall back upon my usual entry, Jin. Both are from Samurai Champloo.

[Giant Brother]

Hmm. I suppose you can use Sara, Donut.

[Ninmast]

I want to use Batman.

[Teh Donut]

You can't use Batman! His power level is, like, 3, but his awesomeness is over 9000! It is to much the peril!

[The Silent Orator]

This is just a placemaker post... I'll edit as soon as I find a character.

EDIT: I have no idea what Tatsumi Saiga's level is. I'll include some links for help.

Wikipedia's info, IMDB, Anime News Network, IGN.

All I could find were summaries of the show, but most of them say pretty much the same thing about Saiga's powers. He has the ability to create an explosion on whatever he takes a picture of. The different types of cameras and lenses determine what kind of explosion ensues. A camera with a powerful zoom lens would create a larger explosion than a disposable camera, but, in turn, would be harder to use in close-quarters combat.

I thought he might be low-leveled since without his cameras, he's just a normal person... and low-powered character, I thought, were just supposed to be normal people with weapons.



I'd like to use him in his condition BEFORE the end of the anime. Without spoiling, it kinda makes him useless for battle in the last two episodes. If anyone has any questions as to what happens in the end and whether that makes the character unusable or not, then please PM me.



If he's not low-powered, then please give me a day to figure out who I want to use.

[Enigma]

I want to use HK-47

[Ninmast]

HK-47 isn't low-powered. His strength, defense and accuracy is too high. He's medium-powered.

[Enigma]

( Ninmast.. HK is at best a High-tier Low. Even Revan was a medium-tier medium at best. HK isn't -that- strong. He's a droid, but he was only made for assassinations, not wrestling tournaments. Defense is just durasteel. Even anything, it's up to GB. )

[Ninmast]

You really expect us to believe advanced metals are akin in toughness to human skin? That servos capable of ripping a human body apart are comparable in strength to naturally trained human muscles? That senses and reaction times driven by processors the speed and power of supercomputers are equal to those of a trained human? No, HK is not in the Low Power Level. And that's not GB's decision to make.

[Enigma]

I see your point, but it's too over-calculated. I think it's Veers who should be saying anything. Let him have a say, he is the smartest person in Sci-fi in this board.

[Ninmast]

Alright, I'm willing to get an outside opinion. I'll get hold of Veers and we'll see what he says.

[Enigma]

Alright.

[Ninmast]

Alright, I've spoken with both parties, and we've come to an agreement. HK-47 can be considered High-tier Low (3) only at the point of his release to Revan on Tatooine, where he has nothing more than the absolute basics. After that point, he raises in power level and no longer fits the requirement. Enigma has decided that this is the HK-47 he wishes to use.

If no one minds I would like to use Marth from Fire Emblem
