This is not your average roleplay--this is a tournament-style fighting-based roleplay. In other words, the only roleplaying that will be done is in the rounds themselves. The only applicants accepted will be Final Fantasy Characters, though these can range from every final fantasy there is. I would like at least 16 characters before starting, with 8 being the absolute minimum; though, this is FF, so I expect it to fill up quickly.

Tournament Rules:

The rules are simple; offend them, and you will be disqualified immediately, and your competitor will automatically move up.

No Godmoding. In other words, Sephiroth will not automatically defeat all comers.

Keep in character. Squall should not start dancing around like a monkey to distract his opponent.

Literacy IS REQUIRED. Applicants who do not demonstrate adequate levels of literacy will not be accepted. This should not scare applicants off, though. If you're unsure, go ahead and pm me, anyway, chances are good that you'll make it. I'm not looking for Herman Melville here, people, just some decent rping.

One User, One Character. Have multiple favorites? The character you wanted already taken? Life is tough, and first come is first served.

Commitment IS REQUIRED. This is a tournament, people. You can stop once your character has been defeated, but if you've still got rounds to go through, don't just stop.

That should be about it, though I reserve the right to modify/add to the rules at any given time. Members will be PMed about Rule Changes.

Character Listing:

No Made-ups will be allowed. This is a Final Fantasy Tournament, with no reference to story, whatsoever. If a character from a Final Fantasy isn't on here that you'd like to RP, PM me and I'll consider it. Characters from Final Fantasy Tactics ADVANCED, Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy I, and Final Fantasy III will not be accepted--the latter three for the simple fact that none of them have enough personality, the former two because they sucked a**. Final Fantasy II, IV, and Crystal Chronicles are not currently listed because I haven't played them enough to know the characters well. If I leave a character out from a game that you want to play. Also, only characters from current games will be accepted. That means no FF:AC, Spirits Within, Crystal Warriors (or whatever that anime was called), Unlimited, Last Order, Dirge of Cerberus, XII, etc. Before Crisis is also tenuous since it was only released in Japan.

Final Fantasy V:
Bartz
Reina
Galuf
Krile
Faris
X-Death
Gilgamesh

Final Fantasy VI:
Terra
Locke
Celes
Cyan
Edgar
Sabin
Shadow
Gau
Setzer

Cloud
Tifa
Aeris
Barret
Vincent: Iri-hyet

Sephiroth
Zack

Final Fantasy Tactics:
Ramza
Delita
Dycedarg

Er... any other characters you can think of. It's been quite a while.

Final Fantasy VIII:
Squall

Not much out of these will be displayed here, since there are so many characters, but I still need all of this information PMed to me under the title: FF:OTAB

[b]Character Portrayed, Game He's In:[/b]
[b]Description of Character:[/b] (So I know you know what you're getting into)

[b]Summons Possessed:[/b] (number is limited per character, if you're a character that can't summon... well, that's tough for you. Number will correspond to the levels given in the allowable summon list, and cannot exceed a rating of 25 total.)

Notes:

Magic, special abilities, etc., are allowed to be monitored by the players, themselves. Summons will be monitored specifically by the judges, however. Characters cannot have summons that are not in their respective games. No Ramuh for Squall. No Valefor for Aeris. Sorry.

Ultimate Summons not allowed. No KotR, no Eden, etc. Too powerful, and things need to be balanced. The list of allowable summons will be posted after this post.

Battles will be moderated by a small panel of judges yet to be named (I'll probably end up being one, though). Keep that in mind.

If a large plethora of characters ends up joining, they will be separated into divisions, and each division will have a separate thread. Once those divisions have completed they're rounds, the winners will be pitted against each other in the main thread (here).

If you're going to be a character from FFV or FFT, a maximum of five jobs can be completely mastered, and a maximum of 20 other abilities; all abilities and mastered jobs need to be PMed to me as well as the basic information. Links to this information, or perhaps even the direct information itself, will be posted with your profiles. They can change equipped abilities as well as which job your character is between battles, but not during. If a change is made, it has to be told to the referee before proceeding with the next battle, or your character will be disqualified.

If you're going to be a character from FFVII, a list of materia must be PMed to me along with the application. A maximum of 10 materia is allowed, and no master materia. Certain combos may not be approved for being too insta-killish.

For the final fantasies that have them: All Limit Breaks are in effect. Watch where you're aiming that goddam OmniSlash, will you?

Trespassers will be shot on sight. No, I mean it. (Pulls out his .44)

Characters other than those from FFV and FFT are at their maximum levels. If the restrictions on FFT and FFV characters seems unfair, they'll be edited, just PM me with a short description of where you feel the deficiencies lay, and I'll be happy to look into changing it.

Seifer is immune to Odin's insta-kill. My little head nod to that sequence in FFVIII.

Certain characters cannot use summons: those that can't use them in the games they're in anyway, such as Zidane from FFIX, can't use them. XDeath is not allowed to have any, and Sephy's only allowed that meteor-like attack that Safer Sephiroth can perform in the final battle, which is the equivalent of a 25 rated summon.

FFVIII Characters' abilities should correspond to the GF's they have junctioned. I'm not going to look deeply into this, but if something looks wrong, and ends up being wrong, it'll land you a disqualification. Just as an incentive to make sure nobody's trying to gain an unfair edge.

That should be it, but I'm probably forgetting something. So complicated... >_<

Allowable Summons:

All right, there's a system here: Each summon has a certain numeric value, and there's a cap on the numeric value that a character can have, which is a value of 25. FFVII summons require their respective materia to be equipped. Keep in mind, once again, that characters can only have summons from the games they're in. Otherwise weird s**t, like Gilgamesh summoning Gilgamesh, might happen.

One summon per round is all I'm allowing (with certain exceptions in the FFVIII summons, read to find out), sorry guys. Even if you miss, that's all you get. Too powerful to manage, otherwise, so use them wisely. EDIT: Er, also exceptions in FFIX, if you're using Eiko or Garnet, who can use 2 per battle each, and in Tactics and V, if you're currently a summoner, in which case you can use up to 4 summons per battle.

Summons cannot be changed between battles. Once you choose 'em, you're stuck with 'em for the entire tournament. Multiple characters can have the same summons, but the same character cannot have two of the same summon. Why you'd want that is beyond me, but just in case you think it's cool or something.

In all likelihood, I am forgetting certain summons. If you want these, PM them to me, and I'll add 'em with a number value. If the number value of any summon seems unfair, PM me, and I'll probably edit it. Been a while since I played most of these.

Final Fantasy V:
Chocobo: 1
Sylph: 1
Remora: 1
Ifrit: 2
Shiva: 2
Ramuh: 2
Titan: 5
Golem: 6
Shoat*: 10
Carbuncle: 10
Hydra: 15
Leviathan: 17
Odin^: 15
Bahamut: 25
Phoenix: 20

*Shoat will have a one in two hundred chance of turning your opponent to stone, which will defeat them. This will be calculated by a judge.

^This Odin will operate the same as Final Fantasy VII's, in that either a light attack or an instant kill will take place when you summon him. Instant kill is a 1/120 chance occurance, and light attack is similar to Titan's. Only Seifer can survive the insta-kill.

Final Fantasy VI:
Kirin: 1
Siren: 1
Stray: 1
Ifrit: 2
Shiva: 2
Ramuh: 2
Unicorn: 3
Maduin: 7
Shoat*: 10
Phantom: 9
Carbuncle: 12
Bismark: 15
Golem: 10
Zoneseek: 10
Seraphim: 13
Palidor: 13
Fenrir: 9
Tritoch: 18
Terrato: 13
Starlet: 18
Alexander: 22
Phoenix: 20
Odin*: 15
Bahamut: 25
Raiden*: 25

*Odin works exactly the same as FFVII's and FFV's Odins. Crusader works in a similar manner, but the attack is now brought up to Maduin's standards, and the chances for insta-kill are now 1/90. Again, to be calculated by judges. Seifer can survive both of their insta-kills.

Final Fantasy VII:
Choco&Mog: 1
Ifrit: 2
Shiva: 2
Ramuh: 2
Titan: 4
Odin*: 10
Kjata: 10
Bahamut: 12
Alexander: 13
Neo Bahamut: 16
Leviathan: 17
Phoenix: 18
Hades: 20
Typoon: 22
Bahamut Zero: 25

*Odin's Gunge Lance is only about as powerful as Titan's attack for the purpose's of this tournament. His Steel Bladed Sword has a 1/120 chance of appearing when you summon him, which will be determined by the judges. It will defeat all characters except for FFVIII's Seifer.

Final Fantasy Tactics:
Moogle: 1
Ifrit: 2
Shiva: 2
Ramuh: 2
Titan: 4
Golem: 8
Carbunkle: 8
Bahamut: 23
Odin*: 18
Leviathan: 15
Salamander: 15
Sylph: 2
Lich: 10
Cyclops: 25

*If I remember correctly, Odin has attacks analagous to FFVII's version in Tactics. In this tournament, this version will only have a very powerful normal attack.

Final Fantasy VIII:
Quetzacotl: 3
Ifrit: 3
Shiva: 3
Siren: 3
Brothers: 5
Diablos: 18
Carbunkle: 5
Leviathan: 12
Pandemona: 13
Alexander: 15
Doomtrain: 18
Tonberry: 13
Cactuar: 20
Cerberus: 15
Bahamut: 25
Phoenix*: 15
Odin*: 15
Moomba: 2
Mini-mog: 1
Chocobo: 2
Gilgamesh^: 20
Griever: 25
Tiamat: 23

*Denotes summons that will only appear randomly. Odin has a 1 in 100 chance of appearing sometime during the battle, and will be controlled by a judge. FFVIII's Odin will automatically defeat anybody except for Seifer. Phoenix has a 1 in 20 chance of appearing upon your character's defeat, and will be controlled by a judge. Neither the appearance of Odin nor Phoenix will affect your ability to summon during the current battle.

^Gilgamesh will not have the Zantetsuken. His other three attacks will be determined by a random number generator, each having an equal chance to appear. For the purposes of this roleplay, Masamune will be an attack as powerful as FFVIII's Bahamut, Excalibur will have a medium attack (roughly equivalent to Leviathan's) and Excalipur will be equivalent to a scratch on your opponent's face. IE, it does nothing.

Final Fantasy IX:
Carbuncle: 8
Fenrir: 8
Phoenix: 20
Madeen: 24
Ark: 24
Atmos: 20
Bahamut: 20
Ifrit: 2
Leviathan: 14
Odin*: 15
Ramuh: 1
Shiva: 2

*Works exactly the same as FFV's, FFVI's, and FFVII's Odins.

Final Fantasy X:
Valefor: 3
Ifrit: 3
Shiva: 3
Ixion: 4
Bahamut: 20
Yojinbo: 20
Anima: 20

Note: I have not played FFX to the point where I have anything more than Valefor. I don't know the relative powers or weaknesses of any of these summons, and I don't know the ideas behind them. Yojinbo sounds like it might be Odin-esque, but I've really got no idea. If anybody could inform me, that'd be great. Thanks.

Tournament Match-ups:

Matches will be determined by assigning each character a number and then using a random number generator once we've determined how many characters we're getting.
