For simplicity's sake, here's a new idea that I'll be adding in:

Creating a Duel

When creating a duel, simply post a post on the HQ topic in the following format:

Title: (Title of Duel Goes Here)
Duelists: (Full names of both duelists go here)
Star Wager: (Number of stars to be bet goes here)

It makes it easier on us when making topics. Jalan, you can be the first to use it! =D

I completely forgot about this. I apologize deeply. I have been caught up in a LOTR MUSH (Multi-User Shared Hallucination) and haven't had time to work on my sign-up. I will, however, post everything EXCEPT my combat sample. That's all I have left to do.

OOC: Trust me when I say this, I am not a literary masturbator *coughMGcough*, and this sign-up is probably around five posts. MAYBE.

-VITALS-

Name: Kosari

Age: 48 Human Years

Nationality/Race: Dwarf

Class: Kosari is an expert craftsman, and can make weapons as well as items. Ranging in difficulty from a mortar and pestle made out of stone to a 6-foot tall statue of a Roman god made of platinum, he is an extremely reliable architect, and, with the right tools and the right team, can build just about anything.

As well as being an expert handyman, Kosari is a ferocious fighter. He is trained to be able to use almost anything as a weapon, ranging from a battleaxe (his favorite) to a thick piece of wood.

-INFORMATION-

Physical Description: Kosari is stout. There isn’t any other word for him. He stands around 4’7”, and weighs around 250 lbs. His facial features are rough, but his eyes tell a different story. They are deep brown, and extremely friendly. His thick, scraggly beard and long brown hair cover his features well. His beard covers his mouth, but his small eyes crinkle slightly when he is smiling.

His body is muscular, and his frame is small but stocky. His muscle has been built up from many years of mine work in his childhood, countless hours of battle training, as well as his 20+ years working with his hammer and chisel, building monuments and countless swords, axes, staves, and various other weapons.

His apparel is unimportant to his personality, but required nonetheless. On his head, he wears a leather helmet reinforced with a plate of steel, and red warpaint streaks across his face in three diagonal lines. He wears a thin leather vest, and under that is a mesh made of mythril and a white cotton shirt. The mesh, crafted by Kosari himself, covers his chest and waist, but does not protect his arms and shoulders. He wears leather leggings and on his feet are, you guessed it, tight-fitting leather boots.

Personality: Kosari is proud, as is with most Dwarven warriors. He is proud of his warrior heritage, and doesn’t tolerate insults, especially about his height. He is smaller than most, and is rather sensitive about it. His fuse is short, and his temper is hot. He is set off rather easily, but if you don’t insult him, he is probably the most affable person you’ll meet.

Inside, Kosari is a wreck. Death and destruction throughout his life torture his dreams. His experiences in war have taken their toll on his mind and spirit, and have left him hardened on the inside. His friendliness is feigned so people won’t try to psychoanalyze him and tell him what he should do to fix his problems. He says, “My problems are best left alone…”

-POWERS-

Magic/Ki/Other Explanation and Limits: To perform his magic spells, Kosari forces his power through his battleaxe, making the runes on it glow or flash, depending on how much of his strength he forces through it. Then he is able to cast his spell. He does not use ki, but knows of it and knows how to defend against it.

Outstanding Traits Explanation and Limits: Kosari is an expert craftsman, as I have explained, and his physical strength is unmatched. However, strength comes at a price. He is rather slow and his reflexes aren't the best, but his stamina and endurance are incredible. He may not be very fast, but he can win a marathon with his stamina.

Elemental Strength: Kosari’s elemental strength is in the element of fire.

Weapons: Kosari is compatible with many types of weapons, but his main weapon is Flame, his axe. The handle is almost a foot long, and the blade sits on the top of the handle. It is rounded, and the edges are sharpened extremely well. This axe is lightweight so he can use a shield. Made out of titanium, it is an astonishing piece of work. Runes of a forgotten language make their way down the handle and stop where the head of the axe begins. They act as interpreters with the earth, and allow Kosari to use some of the Earth’s energy to increase the power of the weapon.

He wears a large steel shield on his right forearm to compensate for his slow reflexes. The shield is emblazoned with two axes crossed, one flaming, and one frozen, the sign of his clan.

Magic: Kosari doesn’t use any magic, but he can transfer his own energy into the blade of the axe.

Bio: Kosari had a normal Dwarven childhood. Days in the mines, evenings in front of the fire with the rest of his clan. He was always tinkering around with his dad’s tools in his spare time, building little wooden figures and simulating war with them. His father did not stop Kosari, but encouraged the curious behavior. He hoped for Kosari to become a craftsman or a military strategist, or possibly both.

When he was six years old, his father went off to battle. Kosari desired to go with him, but his father denied him this privilege. He was angry, but Kosari obeyed his father, doing all of his father’s work plus his own.

His father, brave as he was, was cornered by orcs and slaughtered at the Battle of Three Princes. Kosari grieved for a week, as is normal with Dwarves, and moved on. He became the man of the house, and moved quickly up in the ranks of the clan. At age twelve, Kosari was Second-In-Command of his tribe. The older members were slightly resentful that they took orders from someone half their age.

Two years later, orcs slowly moved towards Kosari’s village. In those two years, he had learned all he could about craftsmanship and weapon making from the chief of the village, and he had created the battleaxe he owns now, using experience he had received from messing around with his father’s tools to make the weapon unique, to make it his own. At that time, however, it had not been blessed with the holy runes that it has now.

The day came when the orcs assaulted his small town. Kosari killed nearly 25 of them, but he could not save his village. He was the only person from his clan to survive. His family and friends were massacred mercilessly by the orcs. He survived, and journeyed to the Druergar capital to live. Here he is trained further in architecture & craftsmanship, and refines his battle training. There he met his soulmate and life companion, his wife.

They, along with a few other families, went above ground to start a new village. He and the rest of the men designed all of the plans for the buildings, and within a year, it was complete. It grew to a population of 3,000 within a year. At this time, Kosari was only 21, a child to the dwarves, but he was wise and knew much. The village continued to grow, and by the time Kosari was 35, the village was larger than the capital, and had its own army.

His son, Losari (Dwarven boys take most, if not their entire father’s names), was 15, and took much after his father. He was wise and thought much, but was also a genius at the forge and on the battlefield.

He, along with his son, instructed the men of his village in the finer points of combat, and soon they became fierce warriors. Kosari’s village became the Dwarves’ military capital, and Kosari reluctantly accepted the title of Commander. His son was made a General, and took direct orders from his father. In the Battle of Narta Village, Losari stood firm, until an arrow went through his head, from the bow of an Orc sniper.

There the battle started. Kosari went into a bloodrage, running through the orc troops as if they were weak doors against a battering ram. The fivescore orcs were obliterated by Kosari and his men.

He grieved again for a week, and went on. At 36, still young by Dwarf time, he left his village to his oldest daughter, Mona, and went away. During the time after his son’s death and before his departure, however, he was leader and the weaponsmith / armorsmith for the his city and a city nearby. He was one of the greatest. Tales of his wondrous weapons spread throughout the lands. Heroes and journeymen came in from hundreds of miles away for Kosari to improve their weapons or make them a brand new one.

When he left the city of Narta, Kosari took 50 of his best warriors on a crusade to destroy the orcs, slaying any orcs they came across on the 150-mile journey. They were joined by a group of freelancing humans with a vendetta on the orcs, as well. Their force went from 51 to 101.

On the path to the capital, Kosari met up with the army of the Dwarven capital and joined with them. Meeting them reaffirmed his hopes of victory, and doubled his fighting force, so he marched on the Orc capital with his head high. His bowmen stood on the border of the forest, and shot down the guards at the entrance. Kosari and his team took an enormous log, created a makeshift battering ram and broke down the gates. They charged in, and massacred the orcs.

At the end of the day, Kosari and his men had taken the throne from the Orcs, and the leaders of the orcs were filled with arrows. He had won, and there was peace. He was offered control of the castle, but refused. He didn’t want anything to do at all with the Orcs. Therefore, he left his men and went exploring. He built monuments for the Elves, Humans, anyone who wanted something built, he would build it.

While he was building a statue of Galadrien in the Elven capital, he saw an IG recruiting poster. He was interested, but only mildly. As he continued further east, he saw more and more of them, so he found a representative in the nearest city and he gave Kosari a brochure in Dwarven, so he could read it properly.

The translation was rough, but Kosari got the drift. It was a clan of warriors from all over the world, together to tell stories and make friends and enemies all in the same place, as well as to adventure and duel and such. He looked at the recruiter and smirked.

“This sounds like a place for me. I could live here forever and never tire of my duties. Where is it located, again?”

The recruiter looked at Kosari. “Kotir.”

He nodded in acknowledgment and gave the pamphlet back to the man. Kosari made his way to Kotir to show himself as a prominent fighter, and perhaps gain entrance into the Intrepid Genesis faction.

OOC: So it was three posts instead of five. So sue me.

...ehh.

You detail's decent, and your skills are good enough, but your history makes me want to kill myself. It's the living embodiment of cliche. The only thing that would make it more cliche is if his girlfriend was stabbed in the back with a katana by a silver-haired man in a black trenchcoat.

I'm going to accept you (reluctantly) as a Greenhorn with 10 stars.

Okay, I have a few things I point out:

First off, I want to set up a realism scenario. What do you mean, X? Well, I don't want you pulling stuff out of thin air. If your weapon gets destroyed, it's not going to appear in the next duel unless you get it repaired IC, or simply forge a new one. I'm not going to go as far as to, say, make you write posts about washing your dirty clothes or cleaning your blood-stained hair, but I think it'd be interesting to try and limit pulling weapons and such out of your ass. I'll play around with that idea more.

Secondly, the main story topic. Frankly, we have no good plot ideas. Where do you come in? Well, you get to MAKE it...maybe. Submit your ideas to the awesome IG email (mine) at xleader@insightbb.com, and I'll sift through them to find a semi-decent idea. No specific characters should revolve around it unless you're Omni and finally decide to get off your ass.

Thirdly, we need to fill more positions. And frankly, we need more SUBMISSIONS for these positions.

Fourthly, there's no reason why you people can't write character progression topics to give your character some new technique or something. Get at that. =O

Fifthly, someone think of something else!
