This is a little game involving showy gladitoral fights where doing over the top finishers and entertaining a crowd are the name of the game. Mostly anything goes for fighters but try to stay around something that you might see in a Mortal Kombat or one of the many copycats games like Killer Instinct - Humanoid-ish and around human-ish size (e.g. An Elf with fire based powers is fine but not a Godzilla-like entity as tall as a skyscraper). Characters should also be adult and original characters are recommended - though they can be based on and/or use the images of a fictional character (I say this because established characters come with a lot of lore and can discourage people unfamiliar with the specific characters from participating).

Anything goes with finishers; feel free to use using magical or other special powers in finishers and all fighters can even use a special regression power to regress their opponent (ala MK Babalities) as part of their finishers. Finishers don't have to all end in death, if a fighter is feeling 'merciful' they may leave their opponent barely alive but horribly brutalized/maimed or in a humiliating fate worse than death.

Fighting arenas can be anything from dark evil forest with deadly plants, a factory with deadly machinery, or even such a mundane place as a classroom. If the fight isn't in a purpose built arena there will be a camera crew filming the fight or a crowd cheering on and they demand a good show for their entertainment.

So here's how this thread is going to work:

1. Come up with a character who would be in a Mortal Kombat-style death tournament. Give them a short bio and write an entrance for them as they enter the Arena where their opponent is already waiting. Be aware that the crowd is watching!

2. (Optional - if you prefer just finish the previous opponent) Flip a coin or use https://www.random.org

If it lands Heads/Obverse/Odd Number then your character wins and gets to use a finishing move on their reeling opponent.

If it lands Tails/Reverse/Even Number then your character is left reeling and the winner of the last match defeats your new character.

3. Write out the scene starting from when the loser is reeling. Remember when writing the finishing moves that there is an audience watching and they need to be entertained so the more over the top, perverted, showy, degrading, creative the finishing off is the better. Also you can use the environment to your advantage (think Stage Fatalities like tossing them into man eating plants in a dark forest, crushing them in machinery in a factory setting, gouging out their eyeballs with pencils in a classroom before doing more...).

4. Give a short description of the next fight's arena. As a reminder the winner of the previous fight continues on to face the next challenger.
