Character Scramble! Character Scramble II Sign Up Thread

Welcome to the sign up thread for the second Character Scramble!

Don't know what the Character Scramble is? Well, aren't you in for a fun time?! To play, all you have to do is pick 5 of your favorite characters that fit this season's theme and enter them into the tournament. Then, the characters will be scrambled, and you will receive 5 random characters that will become your team for the remainder of the tournament.

Not enough description? Well here is the hub post from last season!. That contains every post for season 1.

Now, onto the rules for this season and how to sign up.

The Grand Champion of Season 1, /u/xahhfink6, has decreed that the teme for season 2 shall be Mid Tier Heroes. This has been defined as somewhere between the power level of Spiderman (last season's upper limit) and Aquaman. Only characters that are/would beat Spiderman and are/would lose to Aquaman should be submitted.

Rules:

  • Each entrant will list 5 characters. Each character should have a link or two with information on them. These links should include Fan-wiki pages, Respect Threads, and anything else you think would help them out in learning all about them.

  • Submissions are player policed. If you see someone outside the bounds of the power limits and caps, please explain to the entrant your views as to why they should not submit that character.

  • Please be as specific as you can in terms of iteration of the character you are choosing, any modifiers (we had Deadpool without healing factor last season), and anything else you think is relevant.

  • It is not against the rules to submit a character that has already been entered by someone else. It is encouraged, however, to make that person a different version of the character to make it interesting.

  • After posting your character to this post, you will then go to this google form and fill it out. After that you are officially in the tournament.

  • Please keep the link that lets you edit your post. Someone may convince you that one of your characters is too underpowered/overpowered and therefore needs to be changed. It is much easier for you to edit your post than for me to do it. This will save everyone time.

  • Rosters will be rerolled until no one has more than one character that they suggested on their roster.

  • Participants will receive the permalink to your post if they receive your character. That is why it is important to have a lot of information on it. They will be encouraged to reply to that comment to ask questions.

  • Brackets/Pairings are randomly decided.

  • Every week, you will have to explain, either through role play or arguments, why your team would beat the other one.

  • Every week, the scenario may be different. It may change the way the fight is structured, or it may make it not a fight at all.

  • The Scenario topic will be posted, and players are expected to argue why there characters would defeat there opponents.

  • At least 48 hours later, the voting topic will be posted.

  • Entrants must vote on all fights, and there votes count double. Not voting results in forfeiture. If you cannot vote due to time constraints, msg me and we can work around that.

  • Voting will be done using Google forms

  • The grand champion is allowed to pick the theme of the next tournament

And that is just about it! Lets have a ton of fun, guys! Sign ups close on Sunday sometime after NFL football, so tell your friends! If you have any questions, please ask away.

TO MAKE IT CLEAR, YOU ARE NOT IN THE TOURNAMENT IF YOU DO NOT FILL OUT THE GOOGLE FORM. DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? THEN YOU DIDN'T READ THE RULES

Strength / speed / durability feats on Edward?

u/angelsrallyon ​ Oct 23 '14 edited Oct 23 '14

Strength-one arm can produce force equaling that of a cement truck going at 60 miles an hour(acording to bella). feat wise he has uprooted a tree, thrown cars, and crushed granite boulders. I'd place him firmly at Spiderman tier.

Speed- can run faster than 100 miles an hour and is easily FTE. can leap over 50 meters. Also very spiderman like

Durability- no weakness to sunlight. skin as hard as diamond(but not as brittle) No human weapon(IE, swords/guns) can harm him. Falling from atmospheric hights and drowning will not affect him. his teeth and claws are the same. he has been harmed by other vampires and werewolves, but thats about it.

Extra- He is telepathic, and can read surface thoughts(he has used this in combat effectively) his senses are also super keen.

here is some general stuff on twilight vampires http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Vampire

EDIT: also, weaknesses include 1: things as strong as a vampire can harm and dismember them and 2: Fire, however, they must be dismembered first or they will just run fast enough to put themselves out.

What does it take to kill one? Beheading, stake through the heart?

u/angelsrallyon ​ Oct 23 '14

Dismemberment+burning is the only confirmed way. Lava might also work. It is also inferred that a nuclear warhead would also work. Dismemberment has to be by something stronger than a Vampire(or equal) but then the body has to be burned just in case, or else the pieces might be put back together.

Twilight vampires are more durable than most. A stake would not pierce the skin(unless the 'stake' was an anti tank round, maybe), and even then damage to the heart would not do much. they would just keep going. Beheading leaves one immobile, but still technically alive.
