Let's have a Halloween battle: nominations
« on: October 17, 2018, 02:34:13 AM »
  Because we can.  It's a season to bring out all those Halloween and cheap horror themed characters fro some action.  Vampires, werewolves, witches, ghosts, and many more all in the name of fun.  Battles will be 3 on 3 matches where team members have a characteristic/type in common.  Specific format is to be determined based on how many teams end up participating.

  Here's the checklist of loose guidelines:

- Type or characteristic first followed by character.  Ex.  vampire: Brahms (VP)  scarecrow: Scarecrow (Wizard of Oz)
- I'm playing fast and loose with categories.  As long as it's associated with Halloween, spookiness, and or horror, it will be considered.  "Sexy (whatever) outfit" is often associated with the season and thus is a valid category, as just one possible example.  If in doubt, go ahead and nom someone.
- Up to 12 noms per person.  Naturally, there's no pressure to actually use them all if you have trouble coming up with ideas.  You can nominate full teams, individual characters, or both.  In groups that don't have full team nominated, participants will be chosen at random when it comes time to draw up teams.
- In the name of having interesting matches, no high godlikes.  Overkilling the opponents in one shot the moment they get a turn is too powerful.  Other than that, anyone's fair game with regard to power levels.  It is welcome to nominate someone puny if that's what amuses you.
- While it's probably best to stick to characters with a stat topic entry, in practice I'm going to be lax about this.  Though if all or most of someone's noms are from non-RPGs, I'll regard it as a troll post and ignore the whole thing.
- Please specify any differences from a character's regular dueling setup, if applicable.  Alternate setups are welcomed so long as they are disclosed ahead of time.

  The plan is to roll out right around Halloween, either the day before or after since I'll be offline on the 31st.

Sounds like a fun way to get some more unorthodox team matches rolling. Some of my noms I think can fit into multiple categories - all the better you can be flexible in the team making I suppose:

1. (Vampire/Magical Girl) Hilda Valentine
2. (Ghost) Pamela Ibis
3. (Elf/Pirate/Jack Sparrow) Rufus
4. (Demon) Beatrice
5. (Robot) Asgard
6. (Princess) Princess Toadstool
7. (Witch) Lulu
8. (Cat) Mao
9. (Maid) Sharon Krueger
10. (Samurai/Demon) Kurando Inugami
11. (Jason Voorhees) Edgar Roni Figaro
12. (Sorcerer/Necromancer/Harry Potter) Lezard Valeth

Magus seems more of a warlock/sorceror/reaper to me.  He'll fit in somewhere anyhow.

I'll add more to my list as I think of them.

Werewolf/were-creature:  Kevin (SD3)
Superhero: Red (Saga)
Superhero: Mystere (Lunar2)  How does one scale him anyways?  Most likely to get replaced before the battles begin.
Sasquatch: Umaro (FF6)
Demon/ghost/animal mascot: Kurtis (Disgaea)  Prinny form only
Jason Vorhees: Vincent Valentine  (FF7)  Limit Level 3 for Hellmasker, Limit bar starts full and he must transform first turn.  He's also given a Ribbon so that he's immune to status that could prevent him from transforming.
Vampire: Brahms (VP)
Robot: Zero (MMX: CM)  Reploid, close enough.  I forget there is a MMX RPG.  Half of my username does indeed come from this character.
Ninja: Frank Goldfinger (SH3)  I think the trying too hard to be ninjalike somehow fits the spirit of this tourney more than the competent ninjas.
Cute witch: Wilbell vol Erslied (Atelier series)  No stat topic warning, not likely to be selected

Yeah, I was just going off of design for Magus

Also removing Molly since there's now a third Werecreature that I can actually vote on.

Extending nom deadline over the weekend.  Ideally would like noms from one or two more people for variety.  Will roll with what we've got end of Sunday or Monday.

Going to use what I dressed up for Holloween as a kid as ideas first, then more generic ones.

1. Paladin (Cecil Harvey, FF4)- I went as him.
2. Ninja (Ninja, FFT)
3. Soldier (Darril Traubel, FM4)

Those are the costumes I remember. Now for more generic things.

4. Zombie (Erik, BoD7)
5. Vampire (Joachim Valentine, SH2)
6. Werewolf (Bob, S2)
7. Serial Killer (Torhu Adachi, P4)
8. Demon (Laharl, Disgaea)
