This is Fandom Fighters!
Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been in an RP, so I'm particularly excited for this one! If you're interested in the synopsis above, please read on, I'd love to have plenty of characters in this RP.
Rules
General Rules and Guidelines
Standard KH13 role playing rules apply
Due to the nature of this RP, signups will close once the RP begins. Because of this, I plan on starting the RP ten days from when I started this topic (January 8, 2014), giving you all plenty of time to sign up.
Feel free to have your characters interact with each other, but make sure to interact with others too, even those you don't know. After all, nobody likes to be left alone in an RP.
This RP will primarily focus on your character(s) going through various challenges, sometimes with each other, and sometimes against each other, in order to achieve victory. This RP is not about developing on your characters back-story, although that may be done in moderation.
Try to stay in this RP, but if you must leave, let me know, either by posting so on this thread, or by private messaging me. Don't just mysteriously stop posting.
Put "Applesauce" at the bottom of your signup sheet to show that you've read the rules. Why applesauce? Because I said so, that's why.
Don't be afraid to make your character(s) do things unexpected or random, as long as they don't act out of character. It makes the RP much more interesting.
I've noticed that RP's often die because of problems with the rules and mechanics. If you have any ideas on how to improve this RP at any time, please PM me about them.
Character Rules and Guidelines
Due to characters frequently being eliminated throughout the course of this RP, everyone is required to have at least two characters, although even more is greatly appreciated. You can have as many characters as you want, but they must all be signed in before the RP starts.
Each character will compete using an avatar of a fictional character from either a movie, television show, video game, or comic book.
They will experience everything as if they are in reality.
At the beginning of this RP, the characters will be separated into two teams, heroes and villains. Remember, whether a character is a hero or villain is based on their avatar, not that character's personality or motives.
In this contest, competitors don't know what everyone else's names or appearances are, just that of their avatars. For example, someone who uses the Sora avatar is simply called Sora, not their real name. This is in order to keep things fairly simple.
Make sure to increase or decrease your characters powers and abilities in order to keep things balanced. Feel free to use my characters as an example. If I feel that your character is overpowered or underpowered, I'll ask you to change it.
This RP takes place in a reality competition, so like in many reality competitions, none of the competitors know each other, in order to make things fair.
Character Death Rules
One of the features that makes this RP different from most is that your characters can be killed without your permission. This keeps things competitive and unpredictable. Of course, this can also make things unfair and aggravating, which is why I've developed these rules to keep things fun.
Characters may only harm each other if the host of the reality contest (me) says so. Doing otherwise will either penalize or disqualify the contestant.
If you plan on having one of your characters eliminate another character made by another character, PM me first, and only attempt to take the character out if I say it's okay. This request can be made at any time, but may only be allowed to happen when eliminating other competitors is permitted. Each person may only have my permission to go after two characters at any given time, but don't need my permission to eliminate any of their own characters.
Each person is allowed to have one of their characters "protected" at any given time, as long as they have more than one character left, and before I get rid of protecting near the end of the RP. All you have to do to protect a character is PM me saying that you want a certain character protected. This means that they can't be eliminated by myself or any other person. You may request for another of your characters to be protected instead whenever you want.
When trying to take out another character, don't just have your character appear out of nowhere and take them out. Make sure they have a chance to fight back and escape, that way things stay fair. If I believe the way they died doesn't seem fair, the death doesn't count, any your character may be penalized or even disqualified.
Signup Sheet
All right, I know that's a lot of rules, but they're there because I've never seen an RP like this happen before, and I want to make sure everyone knows how this RP is to be played. And now, what you've all been waiting for, the signup sheet.
Avatar Name: Remember, this is the name of the avatar that the competitor will be using, not their real name.
Gender: Is the competitor male of female? In order to make things simpler, male competitors must have a male avatar, and female competitors must have a female avatar.

Avatar Origin: What is the avatar from?
Contestant Age: How old is the competitor? Must be 16-90 years old. Remember, this can be completely different than the age of the avatar they play as.
Motivation: Why is the competitor competing in the first place? For the money? For the glory? Something else entirely?
Reason for Choosing Avatar: Why did the competitor choose the fictional character they did to play as?
Weapons and Abilities: What are the weapons and abilities of the competitors avatar? You may alter this from the cannon character only for the sake of balancing them so that they're not too powerful or too weak.
Weakness: This can be physical, such as being slow, or physiological, such as over cautiousness.
Team: Is the avatar a hero or villain? Remember, these teams are only temporary.
My Characters
I've created six characters for myself in order to help keep things at a fast and fun pace. Don't worry though, I don't plan on having any of my characters win. That's an honor I'm saving for one of you.

Motivation: After he lost his arm in the military, he had trouble finding work. He hopes that winning this competition will allow him to never worry about money again.

Reason for Choosing Avatar: She doesn't want people to think of her as weak and vulnerable, so she decided to choose a villainous and powerful character. She's a big fan of Disney movies, and she remembers Maleficent scaring her as a little girl. Thus, she thinks Maleficent is the perfect choice.
Weapons and Abilities: A magical staff, teleportation, and control over green fire.
Weakness: To balance out her incredible magical power, she's more vulnerable to attacks than her fellow competitors.
Team: Villain
Avatar Name: Darth Vader

Avatar Origin: Star Wars
Contestant Age: 72
