User blog:BerserkerNox/Dead Or Alive AU RP Reboot

Yo party people! ....Right, never doing that again. Wait...I did it again!. Argh, okay not doing that again for reals this time. Anyways, everybody loves a good fighting game right? I in particular and partial to the fighting game Dead or Alive. Now don't worry, I can already see some of you backing away slowly. While DOA's main draw is the fanservice the game does have a decent plot and some interesting characters and stories. Also fanservice will not be the mainstay of the RP. And yes people guys are allowed. There are actually quite a number of male characters in DOA.

Premise-
DOA takes place is a world much like our own. Of course some of the lines of technology are blurred. However the biggest thing about this world is the Dead or Alive tournament. The Dead or Alive World Combat Championship, more commonly known as the Dead or Alive Tournament, is an international fighting tournament held by the Dead or Alive Tournament Executive Committee or DOATEC. Started by Fame Douglas DOATEC is a former international weapons research and development company that has now turned into a full time entertainment company. However with Fame Douglas' passing and the takeover by Victor Donnovan DOATEC does much more in the shadows. The Dead or Alive Tournament was made so that fighters from all over the world could gather and compete for the title of champion and a vast sum of money. However Donnovan uses the tournament now to analyze and if he can manage it capture great fighters to complete his project. The creation and cloning of the greatest killing machine to ever be born, using the knowledge, experience, and power of these fighters. He seeks to make this one soldier, this one grunt, a being of killing perfection. And then, he will make more. Perfect clones, a literal army of the greatest fighters to ever be. With such force he could truly become the most powerful man alive. This tournament will provide him the last of the data he needs. Unless he is stopped.

Mechanics/How it will work-
Alright then for this AU RP you can take any OC you have and enter them. Not much is actually needed. All you need to put down is your characters nationality, whatever age you want them to be in this RP, their stats, a martial arts style, and maybe a small excerpt on their backstory/how they got their training or where they trained as well as their fighting ability.

The stats fall into six categories. They have ratings from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 5, the stat total typically falls into the range of 17-22 but can be less or more within reason. They are as follows

Strike-This stat symbolizes a characters potential for multiple strike attacks. OC's with high Strike stats tend to be able to chain together their attacks really well and can really press an offensive. In layman's terms this stat refers to combo potential

Throw- This stat refers to how good a character is with throwing attacks. Throws can have multiple forms, from a simply hip toss to an armbar or a powerbomb. The higher this stat is the more powerful an OC's throws tend to be and the more they have.

Hold- This stat despite its name actually refers to an OC's counter ability. Holds are when a character is able to predict or react quickly to an oncoming attack and intercept it and launch an attack of their own while the opponent is caught off guard. The higher this stat is the easier characters can pull off counter attacks.

Power- This stat is pretty self explanatory. The higher this stat is the more power each each singular attack an OC has.

Speed- This stat refers to an OC's movement speed. Speed refers to how freely and quickly an OC can move and dodge attacks.

Moves- This stat refers to how fluently a character transitions in battle, both for offense, defense, and even tricks of their own. This stat mainly goes hand in hand with technical or trick styles of martial arts. Like Drunken Fist, Lucha Libre, and Capoeira for example.

Now these stats are mostly for reference to what your OC is good at rather than a hard base line of if you have these stats compared to these stats you automatically lose. There are other things that determine your OC's strength. Like how well can they take a punch, do they fight dirty? Do they specialize in fighting people with a certain style or are they good at analyzing a fight and breaking down their opponent.

Finally the last thing needed to be said OC wise is that there are ninja clans in this setting. The Mugen Tenshin ninja's are a prime example. You can have your OC be a part of them or if you are willing to put the work in for another ninja clan you can have your character be a part of them. However I am stipulating a rule of only one ninja per user. And if too many start showing up I may have to institute a hard limit so that ninja's don't over saturate the game. Also don't be afraid to put in a few villains for the RP. Donnovan could use a few cohorts. They don't even have to be fighters if you explicitly want to make them scientists. Even assassins or spies paid to check out DOATEC or work with DOATEC would be welcome, though for them the tournament might be their best way in and to get close to their target.

Finally no matter what you guys decide to do for your characters, just try to have fun.

P.S: This setting, thanks to tie-ins with Ninja Gaiden does have supernatural backgrounds and the potential for them. However unless there happens to be a lot of people that want it in, that part of the setting probably won't be showing up. At least until the second part of the RP if people like it enough.

P.P.S: For the tournament segments and some parts of the game only martial arts are allowed. Your character can have and be trained with weapons and if here secondarily for the tournament and primarily for something else they can smuggle theirs along, however if that was what they were primarily trained in they will have some problems in the actual tournament.

Aurea was born in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil to her mother Liliana and her father Reinholdt as their middle child. Aurea pretty much grew up around martial arts seeing as the family practically lived in her mother's Muy Thai dojo. It had been in her family for some generations now. Like her mother Aurea had loved martial arts and taken an interest in them from a young age. As such she was all to eager to be trained by her mother in the style. However upon once seeing her father train out in the dojo's backlot she took an interest in her father's martial abilities as well. With her older siblings having decided to purely focus on Muy Thai and her younger siblings disinterest in martial arts he was glad to have someone to pass his martial arts onto. Thus began her training with her father to learn Krav Maga and Army CQC. As her skill with the styles grew Aurea took any spare time she had left to better herself by trying to mix the three styles where she could. Part of it was already done by the way her father taught Krav Maga, and CQC often showing her how to link certain moves together but truly mixing the styles was an arduous process, gaining her many scraps, bumps, and bruises. Her parents training didn't help as both of them didn't believe in coddling students, and felt the best way to learn a martial art was to have it beaten into you, almost literally. Still Aurea wouldn't have preferred it any other way, and their tough love paid off. Aurea learned at a rapid rate, and toughened up significantly from how her mother and father, two opponents that were beyond her skill at the time, constantly sparred with her and subsequently thrashed her. These training sessions also taught her how to analyze her opponent and try to find a weakness in them or their style, especially if she could tell they were stronger than her. In her teenage years Aurea started competing in many martial arts circuits and made a bit of a name for herself. However Aurea sought stronger opponents, loving the rush of a good fight against a strong opponent. When this year's DOA tournament was announced she was unable to keep the grin off her face as she signed up for the tournament and passed the preliminary testing round.
