Event Description:


A loud commanding voice booms out the greeting, leaving an echo of strangely whispered voices in its wake. The voice seems to surround you, leaving behind a nearly physical sensation of things crawling across your skin.  

You stand in a sparsely forested area, thin sickly trees stretching their almost bare limbs up to the darkening sky. The ground is damp, with small pools of water intermingling with the dying grass and shrubbery covering the forest floor. Before you stands a grotesque looking woman, her skin so pale it appears blue in the dim twilight. Long strands of inky black hair fall down her shoulders, ragged bits sweeping across her face with the force of the slight evening breeze. A soft eerie glow radiates from the woman, making it clear that she is otherworldly. With a flourish of her bony hand, the Yokai points a finger out at each of the contestants standing before her. Her long talon like nails seeming to punctuate each sentence as she jabs her finger in the air while speaking.



The Yokai gestures around the area, drawing attention to twenty four evenly spaced floating blue lights that have created a circular perimeter. The lights appear as orbs of fire, hovering one meter off the ground, each four meters from the next on either side.


A wicked laugh ripples through the air as, with a malicious sparkle in her eye, she spreads out her arms and glowing energy travels quickly through the air, from her to her children. As the spokes of blue light pass near you, you feel suddenly empty, and a chilling knowledge fills your mind. Your chakra is gone.


With her task given out, the Yokai sends out a shriek as she spins in place and fades from view.

Event Details: This trial is considered complete when only one contestant remains able to fight. The rules for combat (though listed elsewhere) are as follows;

No Metagaming or Godmodding. If you are caught doing this you will be warned and if it persists you will be disqualified.

Post within 24 hours of your opponent. As this is a timed event we want these threads to go quickly. If you do not post within 24 hours your opponent will be able to auto hit you.

The event (The Championship Cup), will last a total of fourteen [14] days. It will begin on December 2nd and end on (or by, as it may be concluded earlier) December 16th.

You may not bring in any items that are not approved at the time that the Championship Cup starts. Your lists will be considered frozen for the duration of the event.

You must keep track of your chakra at the bottom of each of your posts in spoilers (see the chakra guideline). This is to keep track of your exhaustion level.

All disputes regarding combat will be mediated by the Championship Cup organizer, and all rulings are final.

Have fun!

No contestants will have any access to their chakra pool, meaning that jutsu, KKG etc. are unable to be used. Weapons, and unarmed attacks are the only available means of combating. Furthermore, all stats for contestants are effectively removed for the duration of the event. They may not be boosted by any means, as they are considered non-existent, putting all contestants on an even playing field. The perimeter of blue fire orbs drain life essence when you are in close proximity to them. Mechanically, this causes a drain of 100 chakra per post, as long as you begin or end your post within five [5] meters of one of the orbs. The available area within the perimeter is a [60] sixty meter radius. While your chakra is currently inaccessible, the rules regarding a character's chakra pool reaching 10 or less apply, as per the Chakra Guidelines..
