-The horrible, deceitful, maniacal, deleterious mistress of the royal academy of the honorable queen's glorious empire, the incumbent royal scientist who assumed said role under dubious and suspicious circumstances but was ultimately exonerated of all suspicion and took up the mantle of her father's childhood friend with zeal and complete disregard for morality or integrity being only interested in progressing the cause of science, christened Avingalia de Majid Hartmut at birth but affectionately and fearfully referred to as Dr. Gayle.

-A terrifying and powerful, over-sized mechanical syringe capable of spraying or directly injecting into the blood stream a deluge of exotic toxins which infect upon contact, that she herself is immune to, but enslaves and ensnares the victim in a mind fragmenting state where, at least half of the time, they are susceptible to Dr. Gayle's suggestions not unlike mind control, and upon injection, suffer a debilitating case of paranoia and general psychosis that worsens with time until the victim either dies or becomes comatose.

-Perfectionist.

We now have 4 participants; with you 4's permission, I'd like to drop out so we can begin the tournament :)

I'll begin the 1st Round after a few hours, cool?

Okay so we have 5 fighters. That's just great. I will not rescind my application, and we shall have a Round Robin instead.

Sigh. Fine. Change your chars. I'll give it until the end of this day. Then we'll really start. I've also decided to come back in, so we can have a nice even 6. Here's the Round Robin bracket:

Round 1
Kamiroo Wolf vs XDHunterNest
TheBestG vs TheOrg
Cassandra vs Hewitt

Round 2
Kamiroo Wolf vs TheOrg
XDHunterNest vs Hewitt
TheBestG vs Cassandra

Round 3
Kamiroo Wolf vs Hewitt
TheOrg vs Cassandra
XDHunterNest vs TheBestG

Round 4
Kamiroo Wolf vs Cassandra
Hewitt vs TheBestG
TheOrg vs XDHunterNest

Round 5
Kamiroo Wolf vs TheBestG
Cassandra vs XDHunterNest
Hewitt vs TheOrg



Here are the Criterias for Judging btw so nobody complains when this is over:

Criteria
Brevity - This isn't length per se, but it's how much you can fit in a single sentence that makes it work well. TheOrg's intro post is a great example to excel at this.
Size - The more concise your single sentence is, the less it is an eyesore. TheOrg's intro post is a great example on how to flounder at this.
Impact - The sentence should STRIKE at the heart of the matter. Makes you go WHOA when you read it out loud.
Variety - If you think you can pull the same maneuver over and over again, think again. Every round should be unique or different.

***I would put Creativity up there. But if a single sentence is all you have, you're going to make it count anyway.

Rules of the Tournament
1) One Sentence Only. You only get ONE per Round.
2) Attack can be as OP as fuck. Surprise me.
3) NO EDITS. Make your post count. If I see that a post has been edited even if the sentence wasn't affected, it will get a -1 Vote Bonus.
4) Every Round's dead line is 1 day long. If you miss the 24 hour mark, you get a -1 Vote Bonus.
5) All participants are obligated to vote on other people's fights.

I will see you all in 24 hours.



By the way in case no one's figured it out yet, this Tournament is being held in the spirit of April Fool's. It's suppose to be as silly as you'd expect.
