My own character:

Name: Pandogar Takk
Age: Unknown
Human Mage
Equipment: no armour, a staff of black wood and a short sword.
Description: No one knows how old he is or where he's from, but Pandogar Takk has been around for a long time. Last mage of an old magic school, he has spent many years researching the legends around the Tournaments of Fate. Now that they are back, he decided to join, hoping for ancient magic to be his when he wins. He's a friendly person to those who know him but he may appear cold and dangererous to strangers.

Character:

Name: Saightakk Uhr

Age: 23

Elven Warrior

Equipment: Full tempered black platemail with golden trimming, a magical elven smithed brute longsword, and a shortsword crafted from Intyranium (the strongest element in existance founded by the elves).

Description: After his father's death, Saightakk Uhr inherited magical weapons forged from the very fires that his father raised him around. Seeking fame and fortune to support his family, he departs his hometown of Ryghrivv and heads west to Galoriknak, the richest and most desolate city on Earth. As he is travelling he stumbles across an old, wrinkled and faded scroll laying on the ground. He barely makes it out, "Join in the Tournament of Fate, where fame and fortune is to be had". He decides to see what it is all about and compete to bring glory and riches to his family.

And suddenly everyone roleplays X(

Character:

Name: Marco Kaufman

Age: 26

Human - Rouge

Equipment: 2 Steel Daggers, lock pick, Elven cloak, poison-making kit

Description: Marco grew up on the filthy streets of Dolroth, a seaside metropolis, where he was forced to steal for food, or die. He never knew his mother, who died in childbirth, and had no knowledge of any other family. He because adept at stealing and pick pocketing, which kept him barely alive for several years. Eventually one of the gang in the poor area of the city found him and took him in. He quickly rose in power inside the gang

I might join. Though playing Ryzom for three months now tempts me to sign up as some sort of mage-knight-crafter, I will refrain.

Name: Stonehawk.
Age: Who knows anymore? I don't. If you really want a number, roll 6d6x25.
Class: Human thaumatologist.
Equipment: A quill pen, gigantic spellbook, twenty-sided watery diamond magic focus, a pair of ruby spectacles, a set of blue robes with silver trim, and some magic wooden gloves.

Description: Fascinated with magic since his earliest days, he has sought not merely to learn the art of magic, but also to learn its structure - the things that make magic tick. Where his colleagues concentrated on the practical, Stonehawk sought to learn the theoretical. Never afraid to tinker despite the dangers, he has been credited with the invention of numerous useful - and often highly lethal - spells.

He is old now, unassuming to the eye, the subject of jokes made by the town's younger generations. But the elders know better. Everyone remembers the last time someone tried to attack his hometown. Everyone knows what happened to that foolish deity. The statue of black marble thus generated still stands fifty miles south of the town.

He is now a traveler passing by Singador in search of old texts from which to continue his hazardous research into time manipulation, which has already claimed the lives of many of his fellow humans (and countless mice). With the Tournament of Fate approaching, though, he begins to question himself - has he done enough with his life...?

Dont worry, his ass is grass

Name: Ka, formerly Ka Ah out of Ok by Ga Ah of Sou Pride

Age: Approximately 30 (see Description)

Doka

Equipment: Iron shackles, iron chains, iron balls, and an Iron Mask.

Description:
  Ka Ah is the son of Ok, a former Rah Pride female who was forcibly impregnated by Ga Ah during an attack by the Sou Pride upon the Rah Pride. It became apparent soon after his birth that Ka had taken more blood from his mother, Ok, than his father, Ga, who became increasingly hateful of the son who thought more than he fought. Ka was nothing like Ga, and yet he was clearly destined for greatness. Jealous, Ga denounced Ka on his eighth birthday, and made him a slave, binding his face in a mask that bit his jaw should it open too wide, ensuring that Ga's word would never be questioned again. Ok dissapeared, never to be seen again.
As Ka began to reach physical maturity Ga had him shackled, bound to great iron balls that slowed his feet to a laborious pace and restricted his hands to no higher than his torso.

  During his sixteenth year Ka stopped taking note of the passage of time, mainly to preserve his own sanity.

  It was during Ka's twenty sixth year that Ga returned from an attack on Keh Pride with a battered and traumatised young female called Am, who would die giving birth to a son later that year. It would take Ga four years to realise that Ba, his son, was not developing Sou features but Rah features, like those of his former mate Ok... or like those of the slave, Ka.
When Ga's neighbours were finally brave enough to enter the home of the greatest warrior the Doka had ever known, the home from which such terrible noises had come, they found Ka cradling Ba's body by the embers of the fire, and Ga slumped upon the hearth, his body beaten almost beyond recognition.

  Ga was burned without ceremony, his life ended without note, and stories of the Doka who was as cruel and fearsome as he was great became taboo. It was decided that although they could not imprison Ka a moment longer, they could not free him either. As the elders, now free from the fist of Ga, deliberated this paradox the invitation to the tournament arrived for Ga.
As the infant, Ba, was buried Ka was sent place of Ga, to meet what would hopefully be a swift and merciful death.

Most confusing description ever. Could n't pick better names?
Approved though. I'm glad to see someone using the less obvious race.

We stll need everybody to post their initial entrance, so don't worry about it

  Sorry about that, but describing what "made" Ka gives a clearer description, and impression, of Ka than simply describing Ka specifically: "Masked slave-monkey-man with serious psychological problems". Not exactly in-depth is it?
  And what kind of names do you think the Hominid offshoots should use? Fluffy and Bobo?
  It is an odd habit of mine; if there is a wierd alternative then there is a good chance I'll pick it. Besides, what fun would it be if we were all powerful sorcerors and great knights?

I'm not playing Team DM (>_<)
I always get stuck with the selfish tit who picks up ammo for weapons he does not even have, let alone use, leaving me to poke at people with an empty pistol.

Ogre is acceptable, but could you stop capitalising words that don't have to be capitalised?

Fokker, I didn't mean the storyline, I meant the names being all alike. I mean, Ga Ka Rah Ah Bla
It's fine namewise, just confusing in the end result of your short description. Your character in itself is great. A good alternative to the mages

As for how the tournament will go, I'm sorry for not saying this earlier.
You will be magically teleported to different places, some alone, some with others. The idea is to return and meanwhile defeat/kill the others. But to defeat others, you may have to work in teams at times, so it's not a "kill right away" kind of thing. Deals can be made. In fact, you can even decide if you want to share your victory. The idea is that in the end, the winner or winners stands before the Order in Singador without any rival remaining.
