Welcome to the city puddle-jumper.


This is parkour:
Quote:
Parkour (sometimes abbreviated to PK), or l'art du déplacement (English: the art of movement) is the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one's path by adapting one's movements to the environment. It is a non-competitive, physical discipline of French origin in which participants run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible. Skills such as jumping and climbing, or the more specific parkour moves are employed. The goal of a practitioner of parkour, called a traceur if male, or traceuse if female, is to get from one place to another using only the human body and the objects in the environment. The obstacles can be anything in one's environment, but parkour is often seen practiced in urban areas because of the many suitable public structures available such as buildings and rails.


Who are you?

People have made you seem like an outcast because of the sport you practice, and somehow the rest of the world thinks this is right?

You've been chosen to compete in a parkour tournament in a undisclosed location, part of an international T.V. series, where you will fight with nothing but your bare skills in parkour.

The prize? You get to walk away with more fame you can imagine. You'll find that only the best of the best will be here, and as such, you should compete as well as they do.

Your only equipment is the clothes you have along with any pads, and some martial arts gloves.


Battles will continue until all participants are eliminated, the last man standing wins.

Rules
Just follow the Gaia TOS. I don't care about swearing. No GodModding. Have fun.


Parkour Styles:
Quote:
Fast: Your moves are quick and usually unnoticed. You clear obstacles very easily and always maintain a perfect flow, although most people don't see this because you're usually the quickest one in the group.

Flowing: Your style is based on the flow of parkour, not being overly fast, but still keeping pace, making sure every single movement is deliberate and perfectly executed. You strike out when least expected.

Powerful: Your movements are slow, but everyone hears and feels the ground shudder when you do an extreme land or a vault. You're the crowd pleaser, and most people's eyes are on you only because you're the easiest to track.

All-Around: You try to blend in the best of all the styles, but this in itself will hinder your performance. You will get cheered on, but your knowledge is so wide-spread on parkour that your movements have no definite origin and lack complete structure.

Stealth: You are never noticed unless you want to be. You're very fast and quiet, all of your movements sinking into the ground instead of making an impact. You are no crowd-pleaser, but when you want to be seen, you are.

Vicious: Your movements look angry and fast. You lash out with movements so quickly and suddenly that most people gasp. You're an aggressive traceur, and it shows.
