The Forum Games King For a Day Tournament!

IF I CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU.

(Just kidding, carry on)

maybe some gay angel fanarts will change your mind.

These are certainly cute (especially the apple pie one awww (and the last one is also super cool)) but..... you've pegged the wrong guy for that 😔

dang

surely there are others to be swayed

While I do see some characters I may root for, I suppose I should post my manifesto for my characters.

First of all, I'm just gonna say that Lackadaisy is a completely free webcomic available to read at any time. The art's to die for - starts off good, but becomes amazing as time goes on - and the story, focusing on a gang in 1920s St. Louis, is intriguing and enjoyable. Feel free to read it.

Now for my two fighters. Let's start with Calvin "Freckle" McMurray. He's a bit crazy when it comes to gunplay. He was rejected from the police force because of it. However, he is very much a team player, cooperating with Rocky's plans through the comic so far. Chances are he'll work well with Ivy, too, mainly because they're most certainly in love.

Now for Ivy. While not as mad as Freckle, she is a decent fighter for her build and age. Being a college-going girl, she's the more intelligent and diplomatic of the duo. Chances are, in the coming fights, she'll come up with a plan or two.

As the only duo, and by extension the only romantic pairing in the group, I have no clue how the votes will go regarding them. I'm not expecting much, but there's only one way to find out what happens.

AWH THEYRE SO CUTE

ugghh...... now im not sure who to vote for on their bracket...............................

Here's my argument for why I.P.S. should be backed. I.P.S. is one of the finer examples of a Power Trio that exists. A group of people from the Ruling establishment of wizards, known as "Shapers", who create and alter life, from the fine Fantasy Bio Punk universe of Geneforge. Their academy was attacked by a rebel shaper, and they set out to get revenge for those lost.

First, on the right, Alwan, a staunch loyalist to the Shaper establishment, is a notable swordsman in his first appearance, taking the career path to be a leader in the military. After the events of the game in which he appears, he becomes an exemplar of the Determinator, working his way up the ranks to become a general, then, after being horrifically wounded in combat, surviving anyway, (though without the use of his body, as he becomes almost completely paralyzed) and becoming the rebellion's most ardent foe and one of the 7 leaders of the Shapers, and the only one who consistently keeps his lands relatively safe from rebel attacks. In any ending of five where he survives, he will continue to fight the peace with the rebels, though not attack, until he finally dies of his long-standing injuries, unless the war against the rebels is won. In that case, he dies of his injuries anyway, happy, for his job is done.

On the left, Greta. No one leaves the Shapers voluntarily. The promise of that much knowledge and power is too great to pass up. Greta did, after seeing their more abusive practices towards their creations. Alwan hates her for this. She is skilled with a sword, but more than that, one of the best combat spellcasters around, as she was training for a job as a spy and ambassador. After the events of the game in which she appears, her career works out much the same as Alwan's, except for the rebellion. She takes the rebellion from a miserable state during their darkest hour of the wars, and, after taking over responsibilities as one leader after another is killed, she becomes the De Facto leader of the humanoid branch of the rebellion and is declared General Greta, and quickly brings the rebels to equal footing with the centuries old Shaper establishment. In any ending of the final game where she survives, she becomes the outright leader of the new Rebel Controlled Country.

In the center, in green, the Third One. They have no official name, as they are (or were) the Player Character. References to them in later games describe them as a skilled craftsperson, who was training for a research position capable of crafting a variety of powerful implements, capable of Super-Speed Reading, and certainly they were a skilled diplomat to keep Alwan and Greta working together as long as those two did. They likely accomplished many difficult tasks, though what happened to them is unknown, as whatever it was, both Alwan and Greta refuse to elaborate beyond it being painful for everyone involved. Either way, after that event, Alwan and Greta never worked towards a common goal again, and the Power Trio dissolved without the Third One to lead it. There is also implications that they may have ended up as the Amnesiac Hero Player Character for the fifth and final game, deciding the fate of the world a second time. Either way, they are an extremely skilled spellcaster, capable of summoning creatures to do their bidding and casting powerful spells to empower their allies or destroy their foes.

Two had storied careers, and one vanished into obscurity. Together, they got revenge, in one way or another, depending on the ending received. Apart, Alwan and Greta are charismatic and powerful enough to fight to a standstill on the battlefield, in politics, and in person, and the Third One is capable of bridging those divides between them to make them fight as a cohesive and incredibly skilled group of adventurers.

TO THOSE WHO HAVE SPOKEN AND THOSE WHO HAVE YET TO SPEAK, COULD YOU PLEASE ELABORATE ON YOUR CHARACTERS' PERSONALITIES? I MAY FIND IT USEFUL.

I want to post my candidate, the Penitent One.

He is man of faith, and a man of a few words. He strives for order and law, keeping it strongly as he believes that "if it's law, then it is right". He promotes the ownership of weapons for self-defense and civil defense, as he lives in a world filled with monsters.

Freckle: Not a man of many words, Freckle is usually a little shy. Ivy's interest in him terrifies him at first, but he warms up to her later. When his dsrk side shows, usually during combat, he laughs maniacally and has no hesitation. He has a little cunning, as shown when he ambushes two of the pig farmers here.

Ivy: Ivy is rather forceful, with very few qualms about expressing herself. Described by Tracy, the author and artist, as being fickle and enjoying provoking others to open up. She's a smart girl, with interests including science (2nd-to-bottom row) and rifle-shooting (click on her image, 2nd-to-top row).

i probably won't do a good job at this but here i go with SDG

Sora's just your typical boy who one day was randomly handed immense power. He hails from an island where he grew up with his best friends, Riku and Kairi, and he carries a weapon called the Keyblade, I'm sure you've heard of it, which he uses to vanquish darkness and unlock doors.

Sora's incredibly loyal to his friends, whether that be Riku and Kairi or his other best friends, Donald and Goofy. In fact, loyalty to his friends is probably his defining characteristic. He has a strong sense of justice and a good judge of character. Even against people he considers enemies, he's more than eager to forgive them if they're sorry - however, he has little tolerance for cowardice or selfishness. He can also be a little cocky and competitive, never backing down from a challenge. But despite all that, he's still a goofy kid at heart, and what he wants most is to spend time in peace with his friends.

As far his abilities, Sora's a formidable foe. Apart from Riku, he was the strongest fighter on his island, and he's managed to prevail against evil time and time again. I could go into the full extent of his powers and all the things he's done, but that would make this page incredibly long. Just rest assured, that Keyblade sure is something.

As for Donald and Goofy, well, you know them. But in Kingdom Hearts, they're a little different. Donald is the Court Magician and Goofy is the Captain of the Guard of Disney Castle, serving under King Mickey. They're eternally loyal to their king, even to a fault, but they're equally loyal to Sora. Mickey tasked them with finding Sora when the Heartless first came to the worlds, and the three of them have been best friends ever since.

Now, let's talk about their powers. Donald is a potent magician and is capable of casting high-tier Final Fantasy spells (including the most ultimate spell, Zettaflare). He also doubles as a healing, proving an invaluable ally during the tough battles. With his spells, Donald can decimate groups of Heartless and his heals have saved Sora on countless occasions. As for Goofy, he's more defense focused. He has a lot of health and a lot of defense, often lasting in battle much longer than Donald does. He attacks with his shield, using bashing and spinning attacks to knock Heartless out every which way.

As a group, the three are the perfect trio. They complement each other well, with Sora and Donald having a Red Oni, Blue Oni style relationship and Goofy acting as The Heart that keeps them together. They really are the best thing about these games and their interactions throughout the Disney worlds brings so much fun and charm to the series. You can really tell they're good friends, it shines through in their every interactions.

Lastly I'm just gonna dump some art of the three of them cuz I suck at choose good spots to pothole em. [1]◊ [2]◊ [3]◊ [4]◊ [5]◊ [6]◊ [7]◊ [8]◊ [9]◊ [10]◊ [11]◊ [12]◊ [13] [14]◊

they also!!! have different outfits on some of the worlds they visit!! That's really cool, and I will share those too! Halloweentown◊, Atlantica◊, Christmastown◊, Timeless River◊, Pride Lands◊, Toy Box◊ (those are actual action figures but its also exactly how they look in-game), Monstropolis◊, AND The Caribbean◊ (look at that HD!!!!)

And if that's not enough to sway you, they ALSO have a number of team attacks together!!!! Here's some showcases of them in KH2 and KH3!

Right, in relation to personalities.

Alwan is a true believer in his cause. He knows that he can be wrong about his methods in battle, and will listen to advice as given, but he knows his cause as a whole is the right one and will not be swayed from it. Though he will speak against actions others in the Shapers take that he disagrees with, he will not impede those actions unless the actions are actively treasonous. He is largely humorless and determined to see things through. Sometimes, he can be bloodthirsty and paranoid though, veering into Tautological Templar territory at times, and will not make choices he has not explicitly been told to make to those above him. He does not forgive easily. He is fully willing to die for his cause, and will not back down from a fight. He will not seek Top Secret information before he is authorized to get it, because that would be against the law.

Greta is a believer in her cause, but more than that, she's a pragmatist. (Combat and otherwise.) If she can avoid an unnecessary fight, or knows a situation is too bad to risk, she will retreat. She listens to advice, and can be swayed from her cause, as long as that cause she is swayed to is against the abusive behavior towards creations (the life made by the shapers) within the Shaper establishment. She will speak against actions others in the rebellion take that she disagrees with, and will quietly work to impede them, by leaving fights, not providing adequate support, or other similarly subtle methods. She has a dry, slightly dark sense of humor, and will back down from a one-on-one fight if she can, unless it's against Alwan or someone closely tied to the elements of the Shapers or Rebels she dislikes. She's a risk taker, and thus willing to take any allies she can get, even if they are dangerous to her in the long run. She's willing to forgive, and perhaps too trusting. She is not particularly willing to die for a cause, but she knows her crimes against the Shaper establishment are punishable by death, so she won't deal with Shaper Loyalists who are opposed to her being alive. She will make choices she has been authorized to make, and plenty of ones she hasn't. She will attempt to find out Top Secret information before she is authorized to get it, partially out of wanting to have all the details for her next move, and partly out of curiosity.

The Third One is more of an Adventurer with a capital A than the other two. They are very talkative, talking to everyone they can. They take more risks than Greta and Alwan combined, and have no strong loyalties to either the Shapers or those fighting them. They are studious and clever, and probably could have gone far in service to either the Shapers or the rebels had they not vanished. They have a strong sense of humor, and are willing to betray people not working for them directly, if it furthers whatever goals they have. They are extremely diplomatic, yet often violate rules or provoke fights to get to treasures. They have an excellent memory. They tend to see people more as a means to an end than as people. They come off as sociopathic and detached lots of the time, but most people they talk to are either in awe of a Shaper talking to them, or Shapers themselves who don't particularly care, as long as the job gets done. They can have mood swings. They will avoid dying for a cause at all costs, and make choices whether they are authorized to make them or not. They are slightly petty at times, and supremely confident in their combat ability, often to the point of overconfidence. If someone they are working for takes an action they dislike, they may not actively speak against it, but they will use extreme violence to stop it. They will go after Top Secret information they are not authorized to get, mostly out of a fear of missing out.

im copypasting this from the wiki lol but for personalities

The Penitent One is a quiet, serious man. He is a man of faith, determined to stop the chaos occurring in his lands. He doesn't flinch at the horrors he sees, and keeps a calm, cool demeanor.

As I wrote before in my previous post, Mostima generally keeps everyone at arms' length. Finding her in the first place is no small feat, and she likes to come and go with little to no warning. It's not that she dislikes companionship; she just thinks that she has no need for friends. She usually works alone and isn't much of a team player as a result. That said, Mostima isn't a hard person to talk with. She's actually pretty eager to share stories of her travels over tea and cakes. Relaxed and easy-going (perhaps overly so), Mostima responds to scorn and admiration alike with the same wry smile, almost like she has no other emotion on display. It's not clear yet if this nonchalant attitude stems from jadedness from her work as a messenger, or perhaps something else in her past.

Have a listen to some of her lines. Nana Mizuki did a great job voicing her.

Lol June cool. She hosts a show. She bullies Henry. She can beat your ass up. She is the underdog. She is 10. She is also participating is the Hunger Games.

Here’s an episode

Edited by DookieIdiotNimrod on Aug 30th 2020 at 5:13:54 AM

I’m not done with my petition yet but imma just leave this here, it’s on the wiki anyway.

Abū Nuwās (al-Ḥasan ibn Hānī al-Ḥakamī) was a classical Arabic poet of mixed Arab and Persian heritage. Known in life for his homosexual dalliances and drunken rave-ups, he would be immortalized in the One Thousand and One Nights (sometimes known as the Arabian Nights) for his...........homosexual dalliances and drunken rave-ups.

In such tales, he was either with a man in a pre or post-sex haze, working off a debt at a tavern or working on poetry to lose the ire of the Caliph (all things he is suspected to have done in real life). One such tale has him held in a tavern for a huge debt that he has run up. They bring him to the caliph's palace and the caliph asks him to create a poem based on a slave girl's musical verses, and then a poem about a cup that he has hidden between her thighs. Abū Nuwās's poems are so accurate that he seems to have the power of prophecy.

aight abu has my vote sorry zor

Goat Mom is Best Mom because she's kind, fluffy, and bakes a mean cinnamon-butterscotch pie! And if you're daring enough to survive the Ruins in Hard Mode, she'll make you her favorite, snail pie, instead! (beat) What? Escargot's a delicacy, why not this?

She's supposed to be the annoying tutoriel character by holding your hand through most of the puzzles in the Ruins, but who could say no to that motherly attitude? She likes taking care of kids and is said to be intelligent, which is why she wants to be a teacher someday. Oh, and she also has a knack for puns, like a certain skeleton in a blue hoodie.

wait since when does undertale have hard mode?????!!!??

When you name the PC Frisk?

nuh uh. i thought it just didnt let u do it...?

Zorua's right, there is a Hard Mode but it stops after Toriel because it's meant as a joke.

I've a collection of Adoriel avvies if she wins Queen for a Day! 1◊ 2◊ 3◊ 4◊ 5◊ 6◊

Oh and now there are 8 June avatars to choose from.
