Dragon Kyns Battle Tournament
Welcome ladies and gentlemen, Kyns and Kyn riders alike, to the first ever Kyn Battle Tournament.
Basic Information
This tournament is basically an roleplaying event. It is suitable for anyone who has fun roleplaying their Kyn and wishes to test out their skills with others. This tournament is designed so that there are various one-on-one battles between players until every Kyn and their rider is eliminated except for two. The winner is decided when the two riders both agree that one person has roleplayed out the battle better. Those two are the finalist and the winner between them will be the tournament champion.
Step by Step
The steps of this tournament should be as follows:
1. Kyn riders sign up their Kyn and themselves. They will fight as a team in the tournment.
2. A randomizer is used to pair up two kyns. They will be competing against each other.
3. The winner of each battle moves to the next round and the losers are eliminated.
4. This continues until only two Kyns and their riders are left.
5. The final battle decides who is the champion and who wins the prize.
The Rules
1. No Godmoding.
2. No Bunnying
3. Do not kill the Kyns, stop the battle before they get killed... >.<
4. Please use decent spelling and grammar when RPing.
5. The winner is decided when both players agree upon one person that has roleplayed better and won.
6. When there's a dispute, please listen to the judges.
7. You must post an RP with in one week of your opponents, or you will be disqualified. This is to prevent battles from being drawn out for forever.
8. One rider may sign up with a maximum of two of their Kyns to battle.
9. SS Kyns are allowed in this tournament.
Regarding Spell Books:
-No godmoding or powerplaying spells in RP. Read the Magics Usage in the Roleplay section.
-No all powerful, wipe out civilization, destroy everyone and everything spells.
Quote: Attack Magic- Magics that mainly attack cannot be used freely, and do not hit every time just because they are 'special'. You must use these in the same way that you make your character perform an action upon another character. It is up to the other person you are roleplaying with weather or not the attack hits their character, or they dodge it. Defensive Magic- Magics that mainly block can be used at anytime(try not to godmode though.) Weather or not the attack thrown at your character actually hits, breaks through the defense, or is sucessfully blocked is up to you. Healing Magic- Having healing powers does have an advantage sometimes. Though do not over use the ability. A character that has a healing ability may come in any form, and be used in any way, so long as it is not abused else it may turn into godmoding.(An invincible character who can heal at anytime. BAD and not fun for everyone.) If the ability is used to heal a character that is not your own, you must have the other roleplayer's permission before healing them.(Ask oocly or over messaging or whatever means of communication.)
Contestants
There is currently four riders who signed up. A randomizer will be used to pair them up.
- Ganon Firenight
- poke mattix
- Waarufu
- KiiMeLwi
Prize
The winner of the tournament will be awarded Mushu, the specially colored and cosplay Kyn as a prize.

Will riders who have signed up please state the Kyn they will be battling with and give a basic profile for them. This is to prevent pairing up battles where one Kyn has a clear disadvantage, such as size or magic abilities. Thank you.

Ganon will competing with Hadus and possibly Lorne.
Hadus- An Eastern kyn who has commited himself to protecting his flight and his children. He is practiced in direct physical combat as well as three schools of magic: Fire, Dark, and Illusion. He is most proficient with Illusion magic and is capable of becoming temporarily transparent, only barely visible, as well as creating phantoms of himself for brief periods of time. He is a cold fighter, calculating and swift.
In summary:
Name: Hadus (Eastern)
Rider: Ganon Firenight
Size: Average Eastern Male
Magic: Fire, Dark, Illusion
Most proficient Magic: Illusion
Skilled in close physical combat
Breath: Fire
Lorne- Although a pacifist, Lorne is more than happy to enter the competition if he should be given the opportunity. He is not very combat-experienced or swift, but he is the largest and strongest known kyn, his wings capable of creating gale-force winds when he beats them. He practices no magic himself and is rather susceptible to magic users. However, he is nearly impervious to physical attacks due to the thickness of his scales.
In summary:
Name: Lorne (European)
Rider: Ganon Firenight
Size: Incredibly large; sixty feet from the tip of his nose to the base of his tail, roughly one hundred feet long including the tail. He weighs in at over four tons and has a wingspan of over 220 feet.
Magic: None
Susceptible to magic, but nearly impervious to physical attacks
Breath: Fire
Defeating Lorne may simply be a matter of outlasting his endurance. Large amounts of rigorous movement tire him out, but he is an extremely dangerous foe nonetheless due to his sheer power and size.
Rider: Ganon Firenight
Sex: Male
Species: Winged Snakeman
Height: 7'3"
Weight: 216 lbs
Wingspan: 21 feet
Tail: Prehensile, six feet long
Scales: Emerald green
Eyes: Green
Hair: Crimson, messy
Weapons: Rather than fighting from his kyns' backs, Ganon prefers to fight on foot. He is skilled using swords, but prefers the use of spears, pikes, and glaives. He will choose among a set of weapons for this tournament: His longsword, Redemption; the spear, Serpe; and the rapier, Renewed. He will choose one of the three before each battle and use only that weapon.
Magic: Ganon is skilled in alterative and supportive magic and will be able to supplement Hadus's offensive magic well. (Alterative Magic is a magic much based in alchemy. It involves changing the properties of physical objects; he can create spikes on walls, for example, and try to drive his opponents into them. He can also attempt to cripple his opponent by altering parts of their body, though this is exceedingly difficult.) However, Ganon's defensive magic abilities are low and he is susceptible to ice and wind magic. He has developed some resistance to lightning and dark magic, and is naturally immune to fire magic.
Okay. ^^ That's a bio of all my characters. I try and keep them balanced. Tell me if you want me to tweak any of them to make them more of a match for others. Except Ganon. He's been my main character for way too long to alter him.

Paige will be fighting alongside Shinju and/or Zareb. Paige KendarianAge: 16 years Race: Human (( Bio information taken from another Gaia RP journaling pet, which is sadly closed, with modifications from her den and to fit into the kyn world )) Appearance: Light brown hair that drops around her shoulders, naturally straight. She doesn't really place much towards appearance herself, so it typically looks unkept. She's rather short for her age, only standing around four foot seven to five one maximum. She has green-gold eyes, that have a tendency to change ever-so-slightly in tint from day-to-day. Personality: She's shy around people she doesn't know very well, the kind of person that would most often be found on the floor of a good gaming or book store reading the backs of the manuals/books, spending hours making a decision. She isn't flaky in the least of the matter, wavering more towards being clingy in the sense of loyalty. She does have a slight temper than can be set off, but she usually keeps that temper internal until it really blows on someone/something. She does the same if she feels upset, doing her best to mask her problems. She lives with her kyns as opposed to in a home nearby, and is completely comfortable around them in comparison with her actions around other people. Background: At eight, her parents shipped her off to a boarding school in Japan, run by Buddhist monks where she studied martial arts and began on a summoner track in the arts. After the accidental death of one of her classmates, and the suicide of one of her two best friends, she left the school and ended up on the kyn island. It was in the second flatsale (I believe - I know it was the first or second) wherein she purchased the small, circular egg that hatched into Shinju. Her whole life took a turn for the better, and she's forgotten most of her training. Techniques: Having done most of Shinju's hunting when he was a little one, she's proficient with the bow and arrow and has good talent at stripping down a carcass with a small hunting knife. She may dust off a few shuriken for the competition, but it would take some luck for her to have the same skills with them she used to. Zareb Breed: Lunar Gender: Male Magic: Flame, Earth, Illusion By far, his strongest magic is earth. He's warped his spells to deal primarily with taming and controlling sand, which he finds to be more effective than some of the other, more basic techniques. He uses his illusion abilities topped with his natural camouflage to hide, and his flame techniques are the most aggressive of all of his magic. Overall, his magic is used as a compliment to his physical attacks. He is hindered by not being able to fly, but his pride won't allow him to admit that. ShinjuBreed: Japanese Gender: Male Magic: Light One of the oldest kyn, Shinju is Paige's prince. He's used to fending off feral kyn from his home and territory, a feral encounter being the first meeting of another of his own kind when they moved into the dens. Like Zareb, his magic skills are mainly used to enhance his physical techniques. He prefers to use acrobatic aerial skills to avoid attacks, and utilize his magic to blind and immobilize his prey. He can also use it to heal and reflect spells cast at him. *thinks she's done*

((Ganon, your way to describe your characters seemed easiest to me...I hope you dont mind I'm basically writing the same exact thing! XD))
Mararan (kyn rider) shall have Tranduil and Jaswinder to fight with her in this competition.
Mararan::
Nicknames- Mara
Gender- Female
Age- In her teens. wink Alright, I'll tell you this much...she's older than 16
Size/Build- Short for a girl...but she does have a good build for combat...or at least living in the wilderness, which is the very reason she HAS it. She's not one of those tiny, skinny girls, but there's not much actual fat on her body. She has muscles that have developed ever since she first moved to the caverns she resides in now. All that hunting and running around and about in the wild to help a huge bunch of kyns grow big and strong seems to make you tough enough to survive in harsh conditions. ((weight- around 135ish; height- i forget....5ft something...))
Appearance- Has brown hair that goes down past her sholders. But since she knows that anyone she might go against could manage to hurt her by pulling her hair, she tightly pins up her hair for this competition. She has bright green eyes, a bit unnerving when shes upset. During these battles shes decided to wear tigher clothing, so anything loose could not be grabbed easily. Pants, boots and a tank are good enough for her. She does not wear earings when fighting.
Personality- One of the problems that might occur would have to be due to her more delicate personality. Mara doesn't exactly enjoy hurting, let along killing when she hunts...she even says sorry to the animal she sets her sights on as her next meal. This is all to say that none of her own are harmed...the second she feels that the only way to get out of a jam is to cause pain, oh will she bring it. wink
Weapons- Mararan isn't exactly trained in all sorts of weaponry, but she did learn the ways of the bow...and isn't half bad at all, since she practices everyday. It is rare she misses, but, as any human being, she does miss. Mara has also created a makeshift spear of sorts for fishing, and figures if she practices, she can use it once her arrows run out. Those things certainly dont last forever!
Magic- Mararan is a typical, non-magical human. She does not have any such abilities. Only her kyns do.
Types in- Green
Tranduil:: ((Eastern Kyn))
Nicknames- Tran, Dui
Gender- Male
Size/Build- Largest kyn in Mararan's kyn clan, but certainly not the largest Japanese kyn. He's only a little larger than average.
Personality- Tranduil is a kind kyn; a gentleman. He has a huge heart, and loves just about everything. But being the oldest kyn, he is basically the top claw of the clan and will defend all its members with everything he's got. He's no stranger to fighting, as he's often had some sort of scruffle with a stay creature...or one of his younger brothers. *cough*wontaru*cough* Dui is not exactly the smartest when it comes to warrior intelligence, but is more than smart enough to make guesses at what he SHOULD be doing. He's just lucky like that sometimes.
Magic- Fire, Wind and Illusion (Dui often uses his wind magic to enhance the powers of his fire magic, but he only does this about once or twice in a BATTLE. Wind magic takes up much of his energy...even healing wind magic. He can't use his illusion magic very well; cant even manage to hide himself completely, but can alter small things around him.)
Types in- Black (Normal)
Jaswinder:: ((European Kyn))
Nicknames- Jas
Gender- Female
Size/Build- Smallest kyn in Mararan's clan. Small for a European kyn. But being small does have its uses. She's swift, and can more easily dodge things than a larger kyn would be able to.
Personality- Jaswinder is a quiet, contemplative kyn...but at the same time, isn't afraid to speak her mind, or start up a conversation. She isn't a blabber, and keeps her speeches short and sweet. Sometimes she can be a bit direct...maybe even painfully honest, but the second she realizes shes harmed anothers feelings, she'll apologize. Jas enjoys hunting, but she's never actually fought anyone before. Her brothers usually did the defending of the territory. She's certainly not afraind to try it out, though.
Magic- Lightning, Light, Dark (Jaswinder is THE lightning kyn. It's her elemental. So, obviously, it is her greatest strength. Her light and dark powers are used to enhance her lightning powers, or at least make them flashy...-er. Just like Dui, Jas can't use her light and dark powers to enhance her lightning more than once or twice during a battle. It takes a lot of energy to enhance magic of another power. But Jas can make things appear more light or dark quiet easily. Not that it lasts long...)
Types in- Gold

heres my profile, and l will be using 2 kyn; Taku and Kichi
Rider: poke mattix (poke for short)
age: 18
physical descruption: A medium sized girl with long brown hair and hazelnut eyes. Manily wears Jeans, t-shirt and sneakers. A monkey/cat like tail protrudes from her behind
personality: Can be a real goof most of the time, making jokes and trying to be friendly. In sersious situations she tries her best to help out and not make a complete fool of herself.
Techniques: Poke leans towards physical techniques, as she is skillied in martial arts. She also uses a sword which does not have any special powers. At times she can appear skillied with her weapon while others she can be quite clumsy, especialy if she is nervous.
Kyn
Name: Taku
Breed: Lunar Kyn
Gender: Male
Size:A tad larger than most humans
Weight 150kg, or 300 pounds
Magic flame, illusion, light
Skills/Technique:Because of his size his pysical attacks aren't that strong on normal kyn skin. However his speed makes up for his size and he is able to doge most slow moving attacks. He can use flame attacks, and if he has enough time can create a fire duplicate of himself, using his illusion spells as well.
Name: Kichi
Breed: Eastern Kyn
Gender: Female
Size: About the size of a one story house
Weight: 700kg, or 1500 pounds
Magic Water, storm, earth
Skills/Technique: Kichi can use her claws, tail and body size to inflict some heavy damage on other kyn if they decide to get to near. She can also use a flame attack, and her water and storm spells can create nasty storms to weaken the oppontents. However she can be slow to react and move because of her size
hows that guys?

Tournament Roster
Battle 1
Zareb (Waarufu) Vs. Taku (poke mattix)
Battle 2
Hadus (Ganon Firenight) Vs. Kichi (poke mattix)
Battle 3
Tranduil (KiiMeLwi) Vs. ShinJu (Waarufu)
Battle 4
Jaswinder (KiiMeLwi) Vs. Lorne (Ganon Firenight)
The above roster should provide fair and interesting battle for all four battles. They are paired by species (lunar vs. lunar), and almost all of the Kyns are magic users on some level. Regarding the battle between Jaswinder and Lorne, despite Lorne's size, the smaller Jaswinder should provide for an formidable challenge with her exceptional magic skills. If you have any question or concerns, please post here.
I will be setting up individual battle threads soon.
