AlphaLurker:

Other fantasy races are allowed, though honestly, I didn't make the setting so I'm not a hundred percent clear about what exists - but I know elves do, at least.

You're allowed to make a character and publish it here if you want; there might not be room for it in the first test-fight, but depending on how that goes we might be putting together an adventuring party later on. Besides, making characters is fun!

You're allowed to draw your character, at least as far as I'm concerned.

Ok, cool. Let me know when you know when we are doing it.

And sorry BigMara. Ill change her bio to something diffrent.

2v2 should be fine -- we can start working on character dynamics and testing the system out -- i don't think 4 people should get it too bogged down...
In the long run we should go for "quests/adventuring" but for simplicity's sake arena duels are fine for now, and could even lead into an overarching story. Why have non-combat abilities if the game's gonna take place in the arena all the time?
As far as my 'preferences,' read Enferia Chronicles and you've got a very good idea of the types of girls I like and the parts of them that I like. (hooray for bush, lol) We should spare no details in the description. The agonizingly slow, dreadful, "Oh please no," sort of ENF in which clothing is slowly removed just barely beats my love of the sudden, comically humiliating type of exposure. Full exposure is an eventuality and a must, IMO..! Though I do love EUF.

Fantasy races? I'd say 'go nuts' for the most part. I don't think anyone wants to see dwarves naked, generally, and halflings are kind of pushing it, being a bit child like. Dark elf/drow? By all means! Elves, of course. I'd say stray from anything super furry -- cat ears and a tail and the like are OK, but anything that's more animal than humanoid is probably gonna cause some controversy.
As for your characters, I recommend as full a description as possible. Because I'm feeling lazy, I'm could just point everyone in the direction of the first chapter of Enferia Chronicles for a description of Christie the Grey. However, it's only fair that I also post the inspiration for her character (at least, visual inspiration). That said, PLEASE put a lot of thought into your character and try to describe them before resorting to a character picture. I imagine a picture is sufficient, but sometimes a thousand words is worth more IMHO. I'm liking the other character concepts a lot so far..!


(tempting as it would be to play Christie with the stats she should have, I don't wanna break the system -- so here's "amnesiac" Christie)
Christie Grey
Christie "the Grey Witch" is an ancient sorceress of mysterious origin and unparalleled power. Until recently. Unknown events have robbed much of her memory, and while she retains the body of a gorgeous, blond teenage girl and immortality, she has lost most of her phenomenal cosmic powers. When she awoke, she found that she had her trademark tattered wedding gown on -- she never could get rid of that thing, and no matter how many times it tore or got shredded she'd find it again in it's old ragged state, just barely holding together. She also had her leather, claw-bearing bracers -- she wondered what good they were, since they only seemed to cut through clothing...

Christie

Attributes:
Body:1
Magic:2
Cunning:1
Gear: Sandals (1 pt), Flimsy Dress (3 pts), Circlet (0 pt accessory), Skimpy thong (1 pt),
Claw Bracers (3 pt body weapon/3pt magic weapon)

Moves --
Body: Signature Weapon
Magic: Telekinetic Scissors, Mage Shield
Cunning: Hand bra

Suggested Magic Ability: Paper tiger (minimum 2 magic) -- The mage sacrifices defense to temporarily become an offensive powerhouse. When using this ability the player can exceed the usual limit of three energy points when adding to an attack to strip. The player cannot achieve higher than a +5 bonus, and must spend an additional point for every point spent over 3. E.g. using energy to get a +4 bonus uses 6 energy, and getting a +5 bonus, the maximum, costs 8 energy..! Finally, while making such a focused effort, the character suffers a -1 penalty to defense until her next turn.




I say, let's play here until they tell us something! Who could possibly mind -- the fiction forums are a little slow moving anyways, so let's use em for something. We only need one or two threads, so it wouldn't distract from the other story perusers... not to mention that people who aren't participating in the game might want to observe anyways...! How do we begin..?

How about we start by picking teams? Once we take care of that, Meepo could write out a post to get things started.

Let's Get This Party Started!
 

Okay, we have four players! As they say in Japan: Let's dancing!

Meepo will randomly assign teams himself in the interest of speediness, unless anyone objects. I approve of the characters posted - but kindly post your character sheet as a response in the "Chronicles of Enferia: Character Sheet" thread that I just made. All to be able to keep track of them a bit better.

In the blue corner:

cerindclvr as Christie the Grey
BigMara as Analise Fleurette Rouge

In the red corner:

Dew0427 as Alison Erving
Murplefleem as Arihalna

Next post begins the actual in-character test fight, including rolls for initiative!

It's a swelteringly hot day in Enferia – as most days have been this particular summer. The sun is beating down upon the arena, and the hot dust seems to hang in the air, in exactly the manner that bricks don't. Besides dust, there's also a kind of tension in the air, for this is a highly anticipated match. The crowd is – unusually for the crowd in the Grand Arena – very silent, and it's almost as if they were all holding their breath. Only one sound is heard: The slightly awkward cough of an announcer clearing his throat.

“Citizens of Enferia! Today is the day you have all been waiting for – the first match in which we will try out the new Arena! I'm sure you've all eagerly anticipated the day when the devoted team of kobolds would finally be done with the renovation – well, today is that day!”

There's an awkward pause, and the sound of someone whispering something very loudly.

“Correction: Two days ago was that day! Today, however, is the day when we will first see it in action. I've never seen the Arena this packed full of people – we've all been starved for action, haven't we? Let's hear a cheer for the Enferia Arena, and of course, for the guest of honor... our beeeeeeloved Queen Syndra!”

As the Queen enters her royal box, high above the sands of the Arena itself, the audience explodes into a torrent of applause and loud cheers. She smiles, extending a hand in a royal greeting, and perhaps in an attempt to calm down the rabble, takes a seat. By her side stands the architect of the new Arena, a strange, reptilian little creature with gleaming eyes, eagerly admiring its handiwork and anticipating what might happen next.

“Well, let's cut to the chase, shall we? The view-sphere is up and functioning; you'll get a look at our contestants in a moment. Ladies and gentlemen, we're starting this show with a two-on-two fight! Ahem... Iiiiiin the blue corner, Analise Fleurette Rouge, and an old familiar face: Christie the Grey, having returned from a mysterious adventure. Let's see how she fares in this battle, shall we? Personally, my money's on her.

And in the red corner: Alison Erving, and the charming Arihalna!

In a moment, the view-sphere will show you a close-up of their faces... and their other assets, though they're still regrettably covered up. That is about to change, though - I'm sure you all remember the rules, good folk: First one naked, wins! Let the games... begin!”

[OOC: In the next post, please describe your character as she enters the arena, as well as what her first action in combat will be. Initiative has been rolled: The Blue Team rolled 5 + highest Cunning 1 = 6, and the Red Team rolled 2 + highest Cunning 2 = 4. Blue Team with Christie and Analise begins!

Please keep it to one action for now, as we'll want to include descriptions, as well. And don't forget – cool and sexy actions give more dice than boring ones!]

Christie
 

((this is fairly daunting as a first post -- I know who my opponents are but I don't really have any idea who I'm attacking if you know what I mean. That said, and in the interest of kicking things off, here goes. Also, wasn't sure if activating mage armor counted as an action so I'm writing as if it's just a 'reflexive' thing that costs energy when you first activate it...))

Christie strutted out into the blazing hot glare of the arena, shading her eyes with one hand. Sure, some of this felt familiar -- the eyes of the crowd, the magic at her fingertips -- she simply had no memory of who she was or why she'd chosen this highly impractical outfit. Her tall, curvaceous body had just the right amount of athleticism -- a bit of tone in her rear, her legs, and her tummy. Her body's suppleness though, where it counted, gave her a little bit of jiggle and made her ample breasts and plush bottom feel like they might tear out of her dress at any given moment.
The dress, which she'd woken up in every day for as long as she could remember, was gauzy, faded white, and perhaps was once a wedding gown. One main difference was that it ended at mid-thigh, and the other difference was that it was so shredded and torn, almost methodically, that the outline of her lacy bra and hints of her matching thong were visible through it! Leather sandals with high straps wrapped about and accentuated her calves, and Christie curiously regarded the shiny silver hooks protruding from the bracer on her hand. Finally, in a calm gesture, she adjusted the thin gold circlet that sat atop her head. That part didn't feel familiar -- it felt new, in fact, though powerful. She'd have to thank whoever gave it to her before she lost her memories...
Gazing across the desert sands she first noted the woman who was to be her partner... Annalise was it? She looked cute enough -- maybe they could get to know each other more.
Across the sands she saw presumably her two opponents gathering. Instinct kicked in here. Christie set her feet about shoulder width and stomped hard; the sand about her feet kicked up in a miniature cyclone around her. With her hair billowing, she suffused some of her magical essence with the sand, creating a sort of barrier for herself...

(continuing, assuming mage shield does not consume a turn)
"Hmm... I don't know why, but I really must get that one naked," Christie mused, biting her lower lip.
Simultaneously, she focused the shockwave of force that had gathered around her into a stream aimed at Arihalna's blouse. This felt familiar -- the magic, the stripping -- so much so that she found herself channeling a fair deal of power into this blast of wind -- in theory it would fill the girl's top and cause it to come exploding off of her...

(the sum of Christie's actions -- keep her distance, activate mage shield, and attack using magic and targeting Arihalna's blouse with an attempt to strip. She'll be using her circlet (3pt weapon) and putting three points of energy behind the attack. Do I have it right so far?)

Annalise strode out of the cool shelter of the combatant waiting area, momentarily surprised by the collective chorus of nothing from the usually-ecstatic crowd. They had certainly sounded that way whenever she happened to pass by the arena on her way through the city, after all. Perhaps she'd just caught them at their most-excitable, she decided. In any case, she wished they might do something about the open-air colosseum. The sort of heat she and the others were enduring couldn't have been healthy. Then again, some of the others did seem to be wearing quite a bit less than she was, so perhaps that was the problem. She had no intention of revealing any skin unnecessarily today, of course, so the unfortunate climate was something she'd just have to endure.

Speaking of her skin, it was currently being concealed by quite a lot more clothing than what the other fighters had brought with them into the arena. Standing at a somewhat-unimpressive 5'3" and sporting a thin, girlish frame, Annalise was positively petite compared to Christie and Arihalna. Those around her would see a wide-brimmed hat made of red felt perched atop her soft, chestnut hair, adorned with a single large, white feather. Covering her torso was a matching red jacket, buttoned thrice up the middle, which led downward to a crimson skirt which fell to her mid-thigh. A pair of sheer, black pantyhose covered her legs and disappeared beneath her skirt, and a pair of fashionable traveler's boots adorned her small feet, ending just above her ankles. At her hip rested the scabbard of a thin dueling sabre, which was emptied almost immediately as Annalise spied her opponents.

As the rules for her match were bellowed out Annalise could be seen wearing a small, complicated frown. On one hand, it wasn't as though she hadn't known what sort of match this would be, but on the other, the prospect didn't exactly appeal to her. Best to get things other with quickly, she supposed. As scantily-clad as her teammate was, and as...unsettling as what she had said might have been, it was at least somewhat comforting to know she'd been lucky enough to be paired with another magic-user; and a powerful one, from the looks of things. This was going to be easy.

"I hope you're prepared. Good luck to you both." Annalise quipped confidently, raising her left hand from her side and deftly moving her fingers in preparation of her spell. No need to get up close just yet, she decided. They had the advantage as long as there was sufficient distance between them and their opponents. Tiny embers danced between each slender digit, before spiraling inward into a tiny sphere approximately the size of a marble, which was now clasped in her palm.

"Let's see how you deal with this!" she shouted, tossing the marble flame at Alison, attempting to hit her square in the stomach. Assuming it connected, the sphere would suddenly expand again, engulfing Alison's dress in a plume of radiant fire.

Were that to fail, Annalise would imbue herself with a speed-increasing spell, then prepare to dodge in the case of an incoming counterattack.

(Annalise is making an attack to strip using her spell, but she's not putting any energy into it just yet. She's keeping her distance and attacking Alison's dress, then speeding herself up if there's still time for that. Sorry for the delay, guys.)

[OOC: Okay, first some stuff I've thought about. Blue Team started the combat, so I'll post the outcome of their actions now - I was checking the forum and I might as well, to allow the other two players to act accordingly. It speeds things along a bit.

Second - I will assume that everyone, if they have enough Energy, will always try to go for a last-ditch defense when possible. It's just easier that way, then I don't have to ask. If you for some reason wish to be exempt from that, please state so. Third, I'll be posting status updates on everyones' state of dress and Energy total at the end of each of my posts, so we can keep track of it.

All right, let's see...]

The crowd gasps in awe as the first one to kick off combat is the famous Christie! Sand rises from the arena and swirls through the air as she directs a shockwave of air straight at the hapless Arihalna, who's barely had time to accustom herself to the Arena. She tries to dodge it, but it's nearly impossible – there's just too much force behind it!

“Wow! What a fantastic start, folks! It's only been a couple of seconds, and... and look at that! Her blouse is popping like a balloon!”

And, indeed, it is. Air rushes into the tight blouse, and within seconds, it's exploded off the poor girl – exposing a strapless bra underneath!

“Christie doesn't disappoint, folks! Would you look at that skill! Would you look at those breasts, eh? Let's hope we get to see more of Arihalna shortly. Perhaps she'll have the skill to recover from this... but I doubt it!”

[Rolled 4 + 2 Magic – 1 for Mage Shield + 3 Energy Points = 8. Just enough to succeed!]

Meanwhile, Analise Fleurette Rouge is on the move. Focusing on a single spell for a few moments, she doesn't exactly draw the eyes of the crowd – particularly not after what Christie unleashed – until she throws the small marble towards Alison, causing a huge explosion!

“Wow! Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me? What a fantastic spell! The question is... did it hit anything?”

There's a great swirling cloud of dust, and for a moment the curvy noblewoman is nowhere to be seen. When she emerges from the dust cloud, though... she does so triumphantly, her purple dress intact!

“It was a fancy spell, but it looks like Analise's aim could be a little better, huh? Come on, Alison, let's see your response to this! Analise, you'd better get ready to dodge!”

[Rolled 4 + 2 Magic = 6. It exceeded her Defense by only one point – not enough to strip off a whole dress, sadly!]

//Status Report:

Christie the Grey: Tattered Dress (3), skimpy thong (1), skimpy bra (1), sandals (1), Circlet (Weapon: 3) // ENERGY: 4 // MAGE SHIELD ACTIVE: +2 Defense, -1 Magic attacks

Analise Fleurette Rouge: Feathered Hat (1), Modest Bra (2), Modest Panties (2), Ruffled Blouse (2), Stockings (2), Boots (2), Skirt (Mid-Thigh) (3) // ENERGY: 6

Arihalna: Shoes (2), skirt (3), strapless bra (1), panties (1), hair bow(0) belt(0) // ENERGY: 10

Alison: Red Lace Bra (1), Red Lace Panties (1), Black Sheer Stocking (2), Purple Knee High, short sleeved dress (6), Black Leather Corset (3), Black Leather Boots (2), Ribbon in hair (0), Gold Necklace (0), Matching gold bracelets on each wrist (0) // ENERGY: 5

I apologize for the slightly choppy post. I'll try to do something better-looking next time. There are also two errors in the Status report, above: Christie should have 5 Energy, not 4, since she made a successful Attack to Strip and therefore recovered 1 point. Also, Christies' +2 to Defense don't apply vs. Magic attacks. That is all.
