[BANZAI!!!!]

Like they always say: The third time's the charm. So, I'll give this rp another shot. If you participated in one of the first two versions, then you are welcome to join, provided you can handle the advanced clause that is! On the same note, the plot has also been altered, so please read it if you've been here before.

 

Rules:

1. bear with the long winded plot & battle system description

2. do not god mod or power play

3. abide by my rules

4. Try not to go off on a tangent and stick to the plot

 

plot: the world is much like our own, but with different settings from any point in human history (new york city could be five miles up the road from an indian village, followed by a gothic castle). In this world, instead of dueling with decks full of monsters, duelists use one monster. These monsters' souls are bound to those of their respective human partners at birth. All monsters are born at the same instant their human is. Not all people manage to meet their monster in life, but those that do become duelists. The battles between duelists and their monsters are the world's largest form of entertainment. Although all humans are well aware of the existence of monsters and their soul bonds, it is not quite as well known that monsters used to also have their own societies, and that these groups had the same trouble our society has. These societal flaws led to many wars in the past, the most recent being the great insect-machine war 50 years ago, so named because of the two factions that began the global conflict. The war polarized monsters onto one side or the other, and marked the first time in history that duelists partook in war. The end of the war saw human and monster societies integrating, the society that exists now formed. To keep unity, Humanity elects five monsters of a given type to head the government along with a permanent human group of 4 every four years. The ruling type is selected in the King's tournament. The tournament is held every four years and the winning duelist has the honor of deciding which monster race shall rule. Old rivalries from the war still exist, and recently a group known only as Herald has been stirring up the old grudges, and seems hell bent on re-starting the war. Herald's actions have caused the current political situation to deteriorate rapidly, and war may once again loom on the horizon as the Next King's tournament approaches...

 

The plot of the rp will be divided into "Episodes" Each will contain its own segment of the story, and will last until I deem fit. Episodes will be announced in this format:

Backstory and world information (For your viewing pleasure):

 

Battle System- In this Rp, duels are conducted very differently from the standard yugioh. First, you are only allowed one monster. Second, spells and traps are one shot uses (the cards burn after activation). to make spells and traps, a duelist must put a bit of their blood on a blank card and chant the card's name to create it. Some card effects will not work in this style (trap hole, for instance) and will either not be allowed or will have an altered effect. Simply ask about the card in your application and i will let you know. Monsters battle until one either faints (tournaments) or dies, also killing the human (fights to the death). deaths of humans also kill their monsters. ATK and DEF points are only considered approxamations of strength, so it is possible to defeat a creature with higher ATK points. during battle, duelists can use pieces of their souls to form a marble sized "soul star" (level stars on a card) to throw into their monster giving roughly the equivillent of a 100 point boost. each star fatigues the duelist and the number of stars able to be used corresponds to the monster's level.

Name:Raiden "Rai" Anarzhia

Age:17

Gender:male

Physical description/picture:

Faction: Duelist

Bio: Rai was born in a small town near a very large city. He grew up in awe of duelists, and becoming one was always his aspiration. His dream was realized when he met his partner, Light. His skills in combat are great, and he often thinks up unorthodox strategies. Rai has qualified for the King's Tournament, and is considered by most to be the underdog of the tournament. He is very cool headed and easy going, often slacking off of work to have a bit of fun.

Monster: Stardust Dragon- Light, Rai's stardust dragon, is a bit of a spazz. He gets worked up very easily, but always has some form of work on his mind. He balances out Rai's lazy attitude. In battle, he prefers close range combat over long range, often relying on the dragon nails spell. Light also happens to be the son of the current ruler of the dragon nation: Spectrum, although he doesn't openly admit it because he is on less-than-friendly terms with his father.

Commonly used spells/traps: Dragon nails, synchro strike, magic jammer, silver wing, and battle tuned.
