Sai.
Because he’s a fucking gangster.
Does the fact that he actually lives in an alternate universe of sorts where Nazi Germany appears to have not just crumbled apart count?
Still need help hosting this? If not, I’m reprising Kujo Jotaro for both.
Okay, so I got more Aeternity ideas than just Abbey/Cassie now…
-
Abbey Chase and Cassie Hack
Danger Girls, special operatives sent to take down evil, world-threatening powers and save lives. Abbey Chase and her new partner, Cassie, would be sent to investigate and possibly stop the evils at LOL-Mart before they do too much damage. Abbey is generally happy and very adventurous (an Indiana Jones type with tits) while Cassie is generally angry and antisocial (a hot goth chick with a nail bat). -
Captain Jack Sparrow
Hailing from Geisterra, but sailing the entire world, the Pirate Lord of, well, something, I’ll figure that out later is rather familiar with modern technology, though he chooses to use very little of it, finding it ill-fit for a true pirate. Crafty, sly, selfish, and wanted dead or alive by Beckett, Regional Manager of LOL-Mart. -
Duela Dent
She’s not the Joker’s daughter here (okay so yeah she is). This fun psycho claims to be the daughter of the one and only MIKE HAGGAR (and a fuckton of others). She’s a bit of a schizo, not sane at all but not so batshit that she can’t make sound decisions. Duela just wants a place to belong ;_; -
Painkiller Jane
Former cop at New Gotham who, while investigating a drug ring, was injected with an experimental drug that gave her an extreme healing factor, making the woman nigh-unkillable. Presumed dead, she becomes a vigilante using her connections in the NGPD to get inside information on criminals and investigations.
Way too busy juggling like 2 fan fics and battle poll outros (man how do these things happen? 
) so I’m gonna have to bow out of this and the SRK Battle Poll for this year. I’ll keep a close eye on this one though. If you need voters put me down. :tup:
Further news: Niggapocalypse drafting is scheduled for this Monday and will be held on General Discussion at about 10 AM CST. The beta tournament proper will begin the following week. On Monday you’ll all get your first look at the AEternity PvE battle system, which promises to be completely unlike either the SRK Battle Polls or the Eternity tournaments you’re used to.
Oh yeah, I just remembered. For the Negro tourney you can consider Sonic. Not verbatim, but from what I remember from another forum some time ago:
Sion Eltnam Atlasia for the negro.
Wears gold bracelets, beats down anyone in her way, and oh, she carries a gun.
and for The Bastards, would Aoko work?
She appears in Tsukihime, she’s indirectly mentioned in Fate, and belongs in a shared universe. And has been in a cross-over game.
It’d be awesome if you could do Sion for TBU, she’d be great to write alongside Roger, espescially since I’m familiar with the character from how another writer protrayed her in a past tournament.
Holy shit, Sion and Aoko Aozaki work out so well.
Note: if you intend to play Aoko in TBU, we’ll be talking later.
I have a better idea for the negros.
Dinobot from Beast Wars.
Do I really have to explain?

Niggapocalypse drafting thread is now up on General Discussion! Drafting closes one week from today.
This is Coin from RI
For Niggapocalypse, my options are :
Augustus Gibbons from xXx
Or
Somehow, i’m a little more excited for Niggapocalypse… hehe…
I’d go with Blade. There’s a good amount of Marvel characters signed on already, so Blade’ll fit right in.

For TBU, Bright Noa should do very nicely.
ternity: The Numbers System thread
**Teams
**
[LEFT]In ternity, each player is allowed to bring one Sponsor, and if he or she so chooses, one Personal Assist… People still interested in the game but not wanting to commit may register as a Voter, who will also choose a character to represent him or herself. Sponsors and personal assists must be assigned **skills. **A description of these skills and how many you may equip will come later.
Also available in the game are storyline characters called Public Assists. Public assists are overstory NPCs who have their own skills. They can join teams, but lack the AP with which to actually use skills. A property unique to publics is that they can join multiple teams at a time, so two, three, or more teams can have the same public assist enlisted. Most public assists will only be available in their round of origin, although public assists may actually be granted to players who sufficiently interact with them in the overstory as their new personal assists. If the player awarded already has a personal assist, the original personal assist becomes a permanent public assist, unless someone else decides to re-privatize that assist. [/LEFT]
[LEFT]
Players are encouraged to join Teams. Teams are groups of three characters that must be chosen by the designated Leader; The leader will be able to enlist other sponsors, personal assists, or public assists into a team not belonging to his or her own. The leader will dictate the skills used by public assists, while all other player characters will be responsible for their own skills. In order to enlist another player’s sponsor or personal assist, that player must indicate consent on the gameplay thread by writing ?Confirming draft into [Insert Leader’s Name Here]'s Team.?[/LEFT]
**Voters
**
[LEFT]Unlike sponsors or assists, voters cannot equip skills or join teams. However, voters have a total of 15 BP that replenishes at the beginning of each round, with which they may grant to Sponsors in any way they wish.[/LEFT]
**Scenario
**
[LEFT]In Niggapocalypse, you will sponsor a character who for one reason or another would want to cooperate with a small battalion of niggas. Be it for fame, wealth, or to want to make a difference in the lives of people living in poverty, you will be enlisted into the Niggapocalypse by the overstory lead called Princess Bea Pin, who is otherwise my self-depreciating satire of self-insert characters in fiction. Your sponsor and assist will join a group that is already comprised of approximately 60 recently emancipated niggas, most of which will remain nameless for the purposes of the players and writers to do with however they wish. Note that we are extra lenient for what constitutes ?nigganess? - we have a player planning on sponsoring a PlayStation 2 because it is black and plays Madden.
As with the main tournament, This Bastard Universe, all sponsored characters in Niggapocalypse will come from the one, amalgamated universe the tournament is located on. Reprisals from either the previous Eternity tournaments or the Battle Poll are ineligible and may be retconned without warning.
At the beginning of each round after the first, writers and players will be asked to vote for their favorite written scenes and characters. Characters who win Story Awards are eligible to win *ternity’*s separate “Scenario Competition,” ensuring victory and props to the game’s writers. It’s possible to win both the scenario competition and the gameplay component of the tournaments, albeit not quite likely.
Missions do not need to be written in-character for them to count, although it is recommended that you write your character undergoing that mission just so he or she has something to do. Besides - if you mess up the mission, you can still win the story award, right? RIGHT?
[/LEFT]
Missions
In every round, the hosts provide a number of Missions. Teams or players may attempt to complete missions to score BP, or attempt to make a mission harder to complete, or help or hinder other teams in their efforts. Players interact with missions by using Skills, which are assigned before each round into skill slots. Missions allow a range of AP, based on how complex it is-- basic missions might allow 1-3 AP, while complex, involved ones expecting cooperation might be 3-5 or even more. Each AP invested allows the player to apply one of his skills toward that mission. These can be “doubled up”; if a player is sure a mission requires, say, Brawl, he could invest 3 AP into Brawl (and cry if it really needed Stealth…).
Skills take 1 to 3 slots; Sponsors begin with 4 slots, while personal and public assists begin with 2 slots. All characters can gain more as the tournament progressions. Sponsors also begin with 12 AP to invest their skills into missions, while personal assists have 6. Public assists do not have AP on their own, and the AP required to use the skills of public assists must come from the active team leader.
Here’s a rough outline of how the mission block will look:
**Sample Mission *[Mission Type] - Base BP Worth
Brief description of mission here, look closely for hints about what skills to try
[Amount of AP allowed (typically, the minimum number is also the number of skills required)], Hazard Rating
- Missions are divided into four types: Combat, Technical, Puzzle, or Social. These correspond to the four basic skill types of Fighting, Specialist, Mental, and Charismatic. A mission’s type always indicates the primary skill type required to solve it, but what skill that is may not be as certain.
Most missions aren’t hazardous, but some are so dangerous that merely attempting them may cause you damage. Make certain you have the proper skills before attempting them! For each incorrect skill applied to a mission, your leader will incur levels of Damage indicated by the hazard rating. For example, if a two-star hazard mission requires usage of the skill Engineer, but you declared Drive, your leader will incur two damage levels. If your leader incurs five damage levels, your leader will be unable to complete the mission. Surviving team members may choose to continue the mission, and one of them must be declared the new leader for the mission.
The BP earned is determined by how many AP are invested into the mission total from successful skill usage. For example, let’s say your teammate, another player sponsor, invests 2 AP into Seduce and 2 AP into Heal into a mission with Base BP 12 and a hazard rating of 2. You decide to also invest 1 AP into the mission by declaring Investigate. If it is later revealed that to succeed in the mission, you had to have Seduce and Investigate. Your teammate earned 24 BP thanks to his contribution of Seduce, but his Heal fizzled. Meanwhile, you earn 12 BP for your contribution of Investigate. Unfortunately, if you were also the leader, your teammate has also just inflicted two levels of damage on you. Keep a tight reign on your teammates, and communicate, communicate, communicate!
Obstructing a mission works similarly to completing it, in that you invest AP into it and choose a number of skills. However, instead of attempting it, you compete with other teams trying to complete it themselves, and they must bypass your obstruction or suffer the consequences in order to even try to score BP on it. Generally Mission Obstruction (MO) skills require AP investments, which limits how many you can have active on the same mission. MO skills grant you a small reward in BP for each team you foil; and a larger bonus if you prevent anyone from completing it.
A Mission Variable (MX) skill is unique in that depending on the mission type, it will either aid your team in completing the mission or hinder another team trying to do the same. Pay close attention to the description of the missions and the MX skill.
[LEFT]Team-affecting skill uses are a bit different. Team skills can’t be “doubled up,” and you can only invest 1 AP per skill (unless the skill says otherwise, such as Demolitions). Team-affecting skills use different rules for BP as well, although for the most part, Team Aids (TA) skills grant you half the BP earned if the team you help succeeds after all, while Team Sabotage (TS) skills grant you the minimum possible BP earned if the team ends up failing. Teams can’t play Team-affecting skills; only individual players can. For the most part, Team skills don’t work cumulatively, so keep an eye on the team you’re targeting and watch out for co-conspirators. [/LEFT]
Skills
Skills can either be applied to a mission where they will cost 1 AP to use, or used to target another team leader who is also undertaking the same mission. The mission component of the skill is called the skill’s “M-ISM.” The component of the skill which directly affects another team leader is referred to as the skill’s “T-ISM.” You must declare which version of the skill you are using when you are casting it in the gameplay thread.
Say TRT, want to form a team?
Well, I’ve reached my decision.
Duela Dent it is.
Arkham Asylum
Arkham Asylum is a mental institution located on the outskirts of New Gotham, just outside the city limits. The very sight of the building bleeds insanity, and it houses most of the worst cases of madness mankind has to offer. The patients are usually kept in small, though somewhat comfortable rooms with one glass wall facing the hallway for observation purposes by the private security guards and the doctors alike. The more dangerous cases are kept in the lower levels, a bleak, grimy section in the underbelly of the asylum, roach and rat infested, it looks almost like something out of Silent Hill. The current director of Arkham is a reformed Jonathan Crane who,after being given a clean bill of mental health, managed to get his position back. Sadly, many of it’s patients escape on a regular basis, most not staying long enough to get any sort of lasting treatments. In addition, many very financially and socially powerful villains (such as Wilson Fisk) use their pull to get sent here instead of a real prison when caught.

EDIT: I just reread the rules Does my Rasputin/Bon Clay team work?
Pin says it’s three characters to a team. I told him I can give up my assist (Yuffie) for now, but we can restructure the team later if we decide to. I myself am still reading up on the rules and such
