Season 12, Week 1
Olan Durai
(Final Fantasy Tactics)
 
The nephew of the legendary T. G. Cid finally makes his debut in the DL - and what an opener it shall be. Ashamed by repeated denials from the arena, Olan has spent months preparing for his first match. The bad news is he’s drawn a professional fighter and fan favorite in Big Joe. Luckily, Olan remembered to pick up a new dictionary at his local weapon shop. After completely immobilizing Joe with his awe-inspiring Galaxy Stop, he’ll put the book to good use smashing his head in.

Great! Dynamic! What better way to describe Light's most popular fighter, the ultra-cool Big Joe? Adored and despised by fans and detractors alike for his legendary audience-involving fighting style, Big Joe is ready for his chance to show the world what he's really made of. Few in Light can withstand his mighty martial arts techniques. A couple terrific thrusts and flashy fists should easily fell the astrologer and start Joe off on his terrific run towards a Light championship.

Big Joe strode into the arena, a cocky grin on his face. He flexed his mighty-esque muscles, and sneered at his opponent, Olan Durai. The audience, of course, was roaring for their favored champion.

Olan looked somewhat skeptical at the whole display. "You know," he said. "I've seen you fight before. I think... that without your mountains of fans... I can actually take you on with this book." He hefted it for good measure.

Joe laughed. "You act like it's cheating to use the audience! I say, if the fans want a winner bad enough, then any contribution they supply to the fight... from their seats, of course... is fair game. That's how the Romans played it, baby." He paused. "Besides.... there's no way you could beat me. My millions of fans, or no." And oh, how the audience cheered at that. The applause was as deafening as it was short lived, for within a few seconds, the entirety of the RPGDL bleachers were frozen in place, to a man.

Olan admired his own handywork. "Wanna prove it," he said, extending an eyebrow to the flashier fighter.

Big Joe hasn't been heard from since.
