FIGHT CLUB PT DEUX.

[saam]

WHAT:

For those of you not in the know, Eshal runs an underground boxing ring, oocly known as 'fight club' because I'm lazy and uncreative. Medieval boxing was definitely a thing and yadda yadda who cares about the history lesson. The important thing is, while the fighting is real, Eshal treats it a little like our modern concept of show wrestling.

After last month's round, we thought it would be fun to add a little flavor, both IC and OOC, and start electing Crowd Favorites each month.

WHEN:

First week of every month, in this case, specifically October.

WHY:

See, last time we didn't do signups. This time I figured it might be fun. To sell the narrative of the fights and get people invested, Eshal will encourage fighters to assign themselves a role (heel or hero) and some simple characteristics she can shout about characters before the match.

This is where you come in: Your characters get to play personas in the ring (however much or little as they wish). Here are some examples.

HOW:

If your character is the type to fight in the arena, use the form to fill out what your character's character persona will be.

You can make these IC choices your character would provide Eshal with, or if you want to make the persona something your character wouldn't like, feel free to assume Eshal foisted it upon them (so long as it's not something actively rude or overly insulting. If you're unsure, ask).

If they can't choose between Heel or Hero, Eshal will decide for them based on evening out the categories (last time it was almost all heels lmao).

TL;DR:

Signup in comments if you wanna do something extra fun / weird / creative for the next fight club log, coming out soonish.

Please note that you do not need to sign up here to participate in Fight Club.

You do need sign up if you want to add your characters the rng poll of Crowd Favorite for the month. There will be a favorite for both Heel and Hero category.

The deadline for signup is whenever I can get the next Fight Club log up (so, sometime in the first week of Oct, work schedule permitting), and the results will be revealed in said log.
