Gladiator Tournament Round 1 Welcome to the first round contestants. Before we start I would like to go over few things with you.
This form should be in ALL of your gladiator posts, always. At the beginning of all replies.
[b]Name-[/b] [b]Breed- [/b] [b]Age-[/b] [b]Gender-[/b] [b]Height-[/b] [b]Alliance-[/b] [b]Health-[/b] we would like to know both mental and physical health. This is a number, normally said in % [b]Past injuries[/b]
- Make sure to fill out the form completely. After each post the Health % should drop, if not it will lead to your fighting not being realistic enough and you loose points for that. - For past injuries we only mean injuries that happened in previous rounds of the Gladiator Tournaments (so when you enter a next round the person you are fighting against can read at the top of the post how the character got injured in the last round). For round 1 you leave it blank since there are no past injuries. For Round 2 you write in Round 1 = and then fill out what injuries your character had in round 1. And then this will go on.
At the bottom of your post use this form.
[b]Status[/b] (is your post completed or not) [b]Word Count[/b] [b]Attacks/Hits[/b] [b]Dodges[/b] [b]Injuries in this round[/b] [b]Personal Note[/b] [b]Wins/losses/ties/buy[/b]
- Word count can not go over 1000 words. - The attacks/hits are completely up to you, so are the dodges. Just make it realistic. To many attacks compared to opponent and to many dodges will have you loose points. - Injuries in this round = how your character gets hurt by the equine it's fighting against right this moment. - Personal Note - feel free to leave any kind of message you want (hate message, bashing message or anything like that will not be tolerated) - You need to include your wins, losses, ties and buys (though for Round 1 you leave it blank)
THREE days to reply, 2 replies per person. Gladiator Style = you do not have to wait for the opponent to show up, he is already in the ring and person that goes first can start attacking in post number 1. You need to make sure you have the surroundings and weather conditions right through out your post
SURROUNDINGS & WEATHER CONDITIONS - The ground is covered with thick layer of snow. Since it has been snowing heavily for the last couple of days. Right now though it has stopped snowing. For this round the snow is still to thick so the ice underneath it won't be a problem. The sky is clear, though there are some dark clouds creeping in in the distance.
fleabittengray with Quantum Physics will go first followed by @cats with Echo

His ivory daggers sank into the fresh snow with ease. Thankfully, they didn't make any contact with the ice buried beneath it. The snow was still deep enough to keep it concealed but that also meant it was deep enough to make movement more difficult. His lower legs were damp and felt almost numb but he ignored the pain as he stalked in a circle around his opponent. He didn't know much about this other brute except that his name was Echo and that he was a member of the pathetic new Neutral group, the Vigilum. They were around the same age from what the grullo could tell but Quantum figured if this guy was in some sort of big shot group, he probably went through some training so it would be stupid to underestimate him. Quantum didn't get any regular training. When he lived with his mother they would spar every so often and he would bully his brother but Overkyll never fought back so it wasn't much practice. Find any weakness, that is always the first step. He could almost hear his mother's voice in his head, nearly making him smile.
Quantum couldn't see any obvious weaknesses on the golden hellion but he was determined. He arched his neck, snorting and huffing out air, not stopping his movements for a single second as he focused in on the bridge of Echo's nose. He studied it for a moment before focusing on his ears. Both were sensitive areas. However, Echo was taller than him. Not by much, only a few inches, but if he lifted his head it would make any attack toward his facial area difficult. He gave a low hum of thought before bounding forward, teeth bared and aimed at the upper portion of Echo's left foreleg. He wasn't low enough for his head to be in danger of a kick. Bites, on the other hand...
In order to protect his ears as much as he could, he pinned them flat against his skull as his teeth sought to sink into his opponent's upper leg. If he could get a good grip on it, he would bite down as hard as he could, trying to bruise and break the skin. It wasn't an attack that could cause serious injury but, hey, they were just getting started. There was plenty of time for blood and gore later.

Name- Echo Breed- Friesian x Hannoverian Age- 2 Gender- Stallion Height- 17hh Alliance- Unallianced Physical Health- 100% Mental Health- 100% Past injuries [—]
The past few days it had been snowing relentlessly and it seemed as if no end would come to it, but this morning it had finally stopped. Echo didn’t mind the cold and snow so much as long as he was able to walk normally in it. He knew that underneath it a treacherous layer of ice was hiding, waiting for someone to slip over its surface. The layer of snow was thick enough that one could walk and trot normally but it could never hurt to be more careful. The cream stallion looked up to the sky to see if it could indicate whether it would snow again soon. After the raging storm had stopped it had cleared up nicely but without the clouds the small amount of warmth that had gathered itself on earth could not escape freely into the universe, abandoning all animals that had hoped to gain some comfort from the warmth. For fighting however it also meant that there was no snow or rain that would blur Echo’s vision and it stayed light enough for him to be able to keep an eye on his opponent. The list had stated that stallion that neared him was name Quantum Physics, certainly a unique name for a horse.
Echo nodded his head towards Quantum, as a sign of respect before the battle would begin. He had no idea if he was facing a light, neutral or dark opponent and to be honest, he didn’t care. It was just in his nature to be like this. He didn’t really expect a greeting back, he had already noticed that most horses here just wanted to fight and win. As if all good manners could just be shoved aside when winning a big prize was at stake. They could do what ever the hell they wanted to, Echo was representing Tremala Woods which was owned by the neutral king and queen, and he would not forfeit his manners. All honor that he was able to win at this tournament would be shared with his herd, so that it could be raised in status and esteem.
Echo noticed Quantum was readying himself to attack and Echo didn’t really mind that he didn’t have to start this fight. He thought that defending himself and then lashing out would be easier than to engage on the other. The teeth of his enemy were aimed to snap at his left foreleg and even though his face was still to high to strike out of nowhere, Echo reflexively pulled up his leg. He didn’t avoid getting hit, his skin was damaged and bruised where the sharp teeth of Quantum had bit him, but he at least hoped that he had surprised the stallion by moving his limb towards him and hopefully hurting his teeth in the process. Echo took advantage of the now vulnerable neck of his opponent and lashed out with his own teeth to make him feel pain. He aimed for the upper part of the neck, just behind the ears, and hoped to get a good grip on his skin and bite through, or maybe tear out hairs out of his mane. It certainly wasn’t a lethal attack, but ripping out someone’s hair could be extremely painful, depending on the force used and the amount ripped out.
Echo then reared up and intended to hit the other stallion with one or both of his hooves on either the chest or neck, hoping to leave behind some bruises or perhaps sore muscles. He didn’t really care or have time to think about what he wanted the effect to be when he attacked, just that he hoped he would hit his target. Fighting wasn’t his favorite thing to do at all, but tournaments like these were exciting and building up some experience couldn’t harm in the slightest. It might help Echo in the future to protect the herd of Tremala Woods against enemies. It was among his jobs as Beta after all.
When he landed back on the ground, his weight caused the light snow to fly around in an attempt to get away from the hooves that could damage the small crystals. He landed safely, this time, but also realized that move like this could be much more dangerous if the snow had been walked over more often so that it would turn into slippery ice. He had just wished there was no snow or ice at all, so that he had to be less concerned about his surroundings and more focussed on the other Gladiator.

He saw the dip of his opponents head, he did, how could he not? But he just didn't care. Quantum had not been taught to give any respect to anyone until they proved that they deserved it. And this Vigilum guy? He did not deserve it. He fought for the "good side." He was weak. Worthless. Pathetic. Just like his baby brother, Overkyll, who got sick just from the sight of blood. He wondered if Echo would have the same reaction to blood... doubtful, considering he had entered into a competition that was all about bloodshed. Still, he was curious, so when he felt his teeth sink into flesh he was more than pleased. However, the excitement was short lived because his mouth did not fill with blood as he wanted. Instead, he just got a mere drop of the crimson fluid before the leg was suddenly being shoved toward him. The grullo gagged slightly, pulling back to release the leg, before a pained growl was forced from his lips as he felt a sharp tug on his mane. Without thinking, he jerked his head away, only for a hiss of pain to leave between his clenched teeth.
A wad of black hair had been pulled from the crest of his mane. He wasn't sure how much but it was enough to leave a stinging ache in the area. Annoyed, the slightly inexperienced fighter snorted and shook his head and neck, prancing away a few steps to try and gather his thoughts. However, Echo's attack was not finished. The taller brute was rearing up, front daggers striking out toward Quantum's chest. Thinking fast, the two year old jerked his body away, ivories struggling for traction in the snow, but he managed to get away from the hooves, thankfully, because they would have left painful bruises. At the last minute, he twisted his body again and kicked out with his hind hooves. He didn't have a clear shot but he was pretty sure he had aimed at Echo's right shoulder. If both hooves landed on the attack, it could be decently damaging, perhaps leaving the other young brute with a limp for a few days.
There was a problem with his attack, however. His body was twisted at an odd angle and his front hooves slipped, digging far enough into the snow to hit ice. He scrambled to get his hind legs beneath him again, harks pinned and banned twitching in irritation. He didn't feel any pain after his fuck up, at least not at the moment, but it had been a close call. He would have to be more careful... another mistake like that could cost him the whole competition.

A taste of blood spread through echo’s mouth, making him flinch because of the iron flavor. He had never tasted blood before, nor pulled someone’s hair out. He spat out the red fluid, tainting the virgin snow that covered the earth. Even though he hadn’t attacked first, this blood of Quantum was the first sign left at the earth that they were fighting. It wasn’t Echo overly enjoyed, but it would be useful in so many ways for the future to gain this experience.
His high and forceful rear had missed target as his opponent had rushed out of his way, twisting his body enormously quickly. Echo had landed on his hooves but before he could move out of the way, Quantum had bucked and aimed with both of his hooves to hit Echo right in his right shoulder. They crushed together with his muscles and bones, and even though the attack had not been powerful enough to break his bones, it would leave some painful bruises.
He saw that Quantum slipped, the beast had wanted too much in too little time. Echo took advantage of it, pushing his body forward in aim to slam his full body weight into the stallion. If he would hit his target, it might seriously disturb the balance of Quantum which would be an advantage for Echo. The cream stallion pulled back from his enemy and lowered his head towards his left hind leg. He bared his teeth and then tried to bite in Quantum’s hock, determined to bite as hard as he could and damage his muscles, if all would go according to plan.
He moved away from the dark stallion, analyzing the damage that had been done. Echo realized that soon this fight would be over and was determined to attack once more, to show that he was more powerful, or so he was in his mind anyway. He pawed twice into the soft snow, inhaling deeply and preparing himself for his next move. He jumped forward, closing into his enemy with the speed of fast trot and just as he wanted to attack the end signal was sounded.
He broke off his aim to hurt Quantum, not wanting to be brutal any longer than was required. The fight had been fairly even and now all Echo could do was wait until the judges had decided who was best and strongest and who would get one strike. Echo could still advance with just one strike behind his name, but he preferred to pass on to the next round with a clean slate, so that he could use his one and only strike later in the games. Now he just had to be patient and wait.
