Yes, yes, I know the title makes it sound like this is an Abridged Series roleplay. Unfortunately, running one of those would be even more impossible then running this one, which is going to be a difficult enough matter. Before we move on to the actual plot of this roleplay, I'd like to point out that as I suck at card games, I'm looking for somebody slightly more experienced at playing them to give me a hand. (Yes, I, wordiest RPer of the month, need help to play children's card games.) If I don't have anybody to help I'll start the roleplay anyway, but it would be nice if I did...
It happened fifteen years after Muto Yugi, the reigning King of Games, ascended his throne. Through many trials he had somehow managed to stay atop his throne, even without the help of his former "otherworldly" partner. However, his life was rocked with a tragedy when mere days after winning his fifteenth straight KC tournament duel his grandfather, Muto Sugoroku, suffered a fatal heart attack. Three days later, Muto Yugi ascended a podium at a press release and made the controversial announcement that he would be retiring from proffesional dueling in order to take over his Grandfather's position as the proprietor of the Domino City Games Shop. In other words, the coveted title of "Duelist King" is now up for grabs. However, the problem remained as to how the new King of Games would be selected. The problem was argued back and forth by various factions, until finally a compromise was reached. Two weeks after Yugi's announcement, Kaiba Seto and Pegasus J. Crawford, the owners of two of the biggest gaming companies in the market, finally announced that they would be sponsoring a worldwide tournament, open to any and all duelists. The tournament's opening rounds would take place in the large country of America, and eventually move first to Germany, then Domino City, and finally, to Egypt. The winner would be considered worthy of holding the coveted title "King of Games".
However, dark powers are stirring. There are rumours of duelists with cards that have had dark magic sealed in them. There are fanatics who will do anything to win the tournament. And somewhere in Egypt, the Sennen items are still there, their powers sealed. And even with a collapsed temple covering them, their powers can still be faintly detected. And if someone with a strong enough will were to approach them...
But no. That couldn't happen...
After all, the Sennen items set off the Yami no Game events years ago. If even one of them were to find their way into the hands of anyone, good or evil...
Chaos.
Okay, let's break this down. Basically, we are all compeititors in the tournament. And by the way, this tournament does consider all aspects of GX to be canon, but the plot does not revolve around said aspects. (Aspects here meaning duel spirits and Duel Academia). All duels, until the finals, will be conducted between your character and NPCs, in which you will dictate the actions. You need not post duels, however, unless you want to. Most of the story will focus on the interaction between our characters and as we get closer to Egypt, and once we get their it will focus mostly on the possibility of a re-awakening of the Sennen items. Anyway, here's how to sign up:
Name: (You know, the thing your parents call you by.)
Age: (The number of revolutions you have made around the nearest star to Earth)
Personality: (A good six lines, please, unless you can pack a heck of a lot into less)
Appearance: (I'll be very forgiving here, so just give me a good idea of what your character looks like. There's no line minimum, but try to aim for at least six in order to give everyone a good idea of your character's appearance.)
History: (Optional, but if you do one it had better be at least six lines.)
Deck: (Give me a decklist, and a description of any made up cards and their effects. The deck should be built reasonably well, since the build of your deck affects whether or not you will be KoG when we get to the finals. Decklist MUST be complete, but you need not have a side deck, as all duels will be played using offical TCG rules, with the exception of the "Three duels in a match" thing. We don't want to draw these out TOO long.)
Other: (Anything else you wanna put).
IF YOU HAVE A DUEL SPIRIT YOU MUST FILL OUT HISTORY AND PROMISE NOT TO GOD-MODE IT OR USE IT AS A DEUS EX MACHINA.
IF YOU WANT TO PLAY AN ORIGINAL CHARACTER FROM THE SERIES (All GX and and original series characters are open with the exceptions of Yugi, Honda, Anzu, and Pegasus, since Honda and Anzu are idiots, Yugi is laying around at home, and Pegasus is mine.) YOU MUST HAVE AN ORIGINAL CHARACTER OF YOUR OWN INVENTION ALREADY ACCEPTED AND HAVE YOUR REQUEST APPROVED BY THE RP MASTER, AKA ME.
THE FOLLOWING CARDS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN YOUR DECK:
Sacred Beasts
All Neo-Spacian monsters.
All Cyber-Dragon and Cyber-Dark monsters.
Chaos Emperor Dragon.
Black Luster Soldier-Envoy of the Beginning.
Blue Eyes White Dragon.
All Destiny Heroes.
All Crystal Beast/Gem Beast monsters.
Anything banned on the current official banlist at Upperdeck.com (which can be found here:https://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/forbidden/advanced_current.aspx)
I realize that all of these make deck-building a bit restrictive, but things must be kept Canon, ne?
Also, rules: As RP master, I say who wins each duel in the finals, along with my jury of roleplayers. That is to say, if you and your opponent don't give me a decision within 72 hours of your match being announced about the winner and send it to me, I will decide, and all my decisions are final. If I say you lose, you lose. You and your opponent may then stage a duel, or one of you could write it alone, or whatever, I don't care, just work it out over PM or something. Anyway, that pretty much covers it, so I'll just post the rules.
1. All original characters will be referred to by their Japanese names, last name first.
2. No God-Modding. Not that there will be much chance for you to do so, but if there is, don't take advantage of it.
3. No powerplaying or bunnying without getting permission and notifying me, please.
4. No questioning the laws of ACC. If I say no, then no.
5. No over-the-top romance. You know what I mean here, I trust.
6. You aren't Kaiba. Even if you have money, you are not allowed to screw the rules.
7. I have the right to turn you down for no good reason. (.00000000001 percent chance of that actually happenning.)
8. Mary Sue-ism is equivalent to Nazism here. You use it, you get shot by the UN.
9. Use the force only when necessary.
10. References to the Abridged series are permitted, but don't completely fill your post with them.
11. Finally, all made-up cards in your deck must be submitted and considered balanced in the "Make Your Card" thread in the "Other Cards" sub-forum.
Anything the rules leave open, feel free to ask about. Don't complain unless you have a really good reason to do so. And have fun!
EDIT: Whoops, forgot to include this important little rule:
12. I would have hoped it would be fairly obvious to you all, but I must post it now. All made-up cards must be your own original work. If you take a card from somebody else without their explicit permission, you will be considered a thief and possibly banned. There, it's even highlighted for you. Don't be evil.
