Introduction:

It is said that before a person dies, their life flashes before their eyes. They become obsessed with life and living that they gain strength beyond the average man's capabilities. Their dying testimony is written in the final moments of their life. The adrenaline, the will power... they will not go down without a fight. Be it convicts in a jail or assassins in training, everyone will have to face this final moment.

What is WOTL?

WOTL stands for Will of the Lost, a role playing tournament that will be taking place back to back and each having a different theme. To win this tournament, you must use your skill as a writer as well as logic and cunning to outsmart your fellow competitors.

How do you win?

The game master (me) will give different challenges that you must complete. Usually, people whom do the best get the most points and whomever is still alive by the end of the day phase moves on to the next day. One person at the end of each day phase will be eliminated from the competition.


Character Skeleton

In the RP, you may or may not know each other personally, but everyone will know each other by reputation.

Some changes that may be needed to be make your characters acceptable for this RolePlay:

1.) They have to be born on this planet. (Z'Tun) I understand that some of your characters have backgrounds but for this instance, they will be forced to participate only in this role play. Once it is over, then you can revert your character back to his old standards.

2.) Use of magic is prohibited, however, there is a loop hole/exception. You are allowed to use enchanted weaponry. For example, you can have a blessed blade that slices through unholy protection. Or perhaps your boots have blessed speed. Just make sure that the enchantments work on their own and are not something that you have to be magically inclined to use.

3.) Give yourself a slight backstory for role playing on this planet. Do not go too in depth as it might clash with someone else's back story, but the purpose of this role play is for everyone to contribute some to the story.

Story Pillars

I am going to go into a little more detail on the backbone of our story, the rest is for everyone else to decide. This will be covered in greater depth once the Player List is announced.

Z'Tun is a standard world, perhaps a few years behind some of its neighbors, but by no means less powerful or willing. The beings there vary in all shapes and sizes. The mighty cyclops in the Northern Blue Mountains and the Gorush, slick snake creatures to the south. Humans and Orcs are common, wagging war among each other for their differences. But perhaps the most interesting creatures of all, are the Dakra.

These colossal elemental beasts control the balance of the world. They roam about the wilderness, aiding the planet in its struggle to maintain its ever growing population. It wasn't until a young philosopher discovered that these creatures had weaknesses that things began to go wrong. Nations clashed for the chance to control each Dakra, but only a handful of beings could take on such mighty beasts. These "heros" as they are called, will be used once again. Now that a greedy Emperor has spoiled the balance of the world, and the Dakras loose and destroying what they normally protect, it is up to the last of the hero's to reign them in... for good.

Game Mechanics:

The game is divided into day phases that last a certain amount of real life days. (1 game day could = 1 week real life) Each day has a challenge of some sort that you must accomplish before your fellow competitors. In order to do this, you must use a variety of Role Playing skills.

The game master (Me) will establish an objective. Throughout the roleplay, you will use your talent as a writer and the opportunities that the Game Master will gives you too accomplish these missions. Every round, one person will be eliminated from the game till only one person remains.


Miscellaneous rules:

*Spamming posts will not be a valid tactic for this roleplay. You will have a maximum of two posts every day and no double posting.
*As stated above, if you do not post within 72 hours of each other without valid reasoning then you will be eliminated. (I understand that is harsh considering real life issues come up but this is a competition and you can always enter again next time.)
*There will be a max of 8 competitors for this specific tournament and a minimum of 6.
*Basic battle style rules apply (T-1) should you be forced to fight each other or choose too.

1.) Your Favorite Role Play you did on this site.

3.) Submit a character sheet of a Warrior, someone whom could be used as a hero of an army.

4.) Write a 100 to 200 word introduction to a story based on a theme of your choice so I can see your writing style.

More rules and specifics to come once the tournament is filled. If you have any questions, post them below. Everything has already been planned out and scheduled by me so I expect this to run fairly smoothly and quickly.

Thanks for showing interest!
