A cold, dark cell. Shackles, chains and a strange brace around your neck that's flashing green. You wear a hooded robe to hide your face from the rest. Suddenly, out of the corner of your eye you see an opening in the distance. Without hesitation, you rush toward the opening, you can see the light, you can feel the breeze of freedom in your hair. You get out into the light, and your spirit dissolves to ashes. What you are standing in is a Colosseum of immense proportions. In the middle of the Colosseum, you see a giant cyclops dissecting the body of another while applause roar from the crowd.
Jormundgar wins again! says a cheerful voice.
You notice several other participants stepping into the light of the Colosseum. The crowd is looking at all of you in silence.
Well, it looks like our new contestants have arrived a little early. the voice laughs, I am Kith Corale, manager of this Colosseum. Welcome to The Contest of Mortals!
The crowd starts cheering furiously. Clearly there was some sort of mistake. You where not meant to be here. This is insane!
Contestants! Reveal yourselves!
Welcome to The Contest of Mortals
Proxima Station, orbiting the planet Alpha Centauri, is a galactic super highway of criminals, smugglersand slave lords alike. Anything goes here, especially when it comes to The Great Centaurian Colosseum. The Colosseum, run by the Centaurian Empire's own Kith Corale is a place alive with thrill and excitement in which contestant, voluntarily or not, fight to the death for prizes of fame and glory.
Rules
In Kith's Colosseum there is only one rule, loser dies.
This tournament will be a mid-tier double elimination event based around Storyteller's Circle's revised edition of the T1 Eden Era rules. These rules are available here.
Contestants should not exceed the mid-tier bar for this tournament. Basically, non-prepped abilities can total small vehicles or physically toss them. Since this is a sci-fi setting, magical abilities should be described in a more sci-fi manner (i.e. instead of, say, "throwing a fireball." it should be "converting kinetic energy into thermal energy creating a small ball of flames.")
All contestants are allowed to use up to three abilities (which should be outlined in their Character Sheet). A primary ability (1-2 turn of Prep), an intermediate ability (3-4 Preps) and an ultimate ability (5+ turns of Preps). Special abilities must be interconnected (i.e. no "Fireball" and "Freeze").
Ultimate magical or metahuman abilities are capable of duplicating the power levels of natural disasters such as earthquakes or meteor impacts, but it is expected that reaching such feats would require several rounds of preps, and are the fullest extent of one’s limitations. Any advanced technology must be earned by winning matches, and won't be available at the start.
Races
The Milky Way Galaxy is filled with beings of all shapes and sizes. Some are small and witty, others big and ruthless. Each unique race has their own advantages and disadvantages. Here are some of the most common races seen around Alpha Centauri:
Humans: Just regular humans
Insectoids: Four armed humanoid bugs
Crustaceans: Humanoid creatures with sturdy exoskeletons
Canines: Humanoid wolf like predators
Avians: Humanoid Birds with wings
Tigrees: Humanoid cat beings
Reptilians: Humanoid reptiles
Machines - Metal constructs
Character Sheets
Character sheets of contestants should be posted into this thread for review. You may also PM your character sheet to myself for review/acceptance if you would like to maintain the secrecy of your character selection until after submissions are closed.
NOTE: Be mindful that during a match your character sheet will serve as a reference sheet for the judge. You may not use abilities that are not outlined in your character sheet.
Winning
Match winners will be determined by KO. In there is a dispute about a KO or anything, then the matches will be judged by Kith and the loser will be executed.
NOTE: Matches are supposed to be relatively fair, that's why each contestant will start each match fully healed and equipped.

Match Rules Summary:
- Match Lengths: Unlimited
- Post Window: 48 hours
- Failure on the part of a combatant to post within the allotted time frame will result in their opponent being permitted to post a second time to resolve all pending attacks into successes as well as make a new round of actions. One extension per match may be requested for real life emergencies. I reserve the right to refuse an extension if I notice a pattern of extensions every single match. An extension must be requested in this thread before the 48 hour period is up, or before their opponent posts a second time if the 48 hour period has passed. If it's a personal matter, post the request here and PM me the details privately. If a request for an extension has been posted, an opponent may not post until the extension has been granted or rejected
- Match Winners will be determined by KO
- Matches without a clear winner will be judged by Kith
- Damage is healed between matches
