I started to watch Dances with Wolves on the Airplane and I loved the soundtrack.

CHARACTER NAME: The Hunter

CHARACTER SOURCE: Enter the Gungeon

CHARACTER HISTORY:
Contains Spoilers for Enter the Gungeon

1,147 years prior to the Hunter's adventure into the Gungeon, she travelled to Blacksword Manor to defeat Dr. Wolfenclaw; however, she was captured and stored in a Cryo Pod. Upon awaking and seeing that she had failed her bounty she was filled with remorse and regret. Word was that in this new world there was a gun that could travel one back in time so that they could change their past. Wanting to atone for her mistakes and to return to her dog Junior, she entered the Cursed Gungeon and battled many powerful beings to reach the Gun that can Kill the Past. When she finally passed the Gungeon, she opened up the chest to the Gun that can Kill the Past but was instead taken by Omni at this point.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:


STATS:
ATK: 4
DEF: 2
SPD: 2
TEC: 2

STARTING PROFICIENCIES:
Ranged Proficiency (1000)
Area Defense Proficiency (400)

STARTING POWERS:
Advanced Enhanced Senses (2000)
Master Acrobat (400)

STARTING MOVES:

Rusty Sidearm (Requires Ranged Proficiency) 300 OM - The Hunter's trusty sidearm is a classic revolver that can hold up to six shots. She can shoot the revolver six times before reloading which takes about two seconds. These shots deal moderate damage and the accuracy can leave much to be desired. If she is shooting as fast as she can, she can empty the revolver in about two seconds.

Crossbow (Requires Ranged Proficiency) 300 OM -The Hunter's crossbow is a more powerful gun that her revolver and can only hold one arrow at a time. Reloading takes the Hunter about 4 seconds. This bolt is much stronger than her average bullets and if it connects with the target, the force pushes them away from her. She, however, has very limited ammo for this weapon and can only use it for one round in a fight.

Blank (Requires Area Defence Profiency) 300 OM - This is a clay bullet that the Hunter can carry with her. She can toss the clay bullet and smash it into the ground. When this happens an instantenous blast of air forces its way out in a 3 meter radius. All projectiles have their momentum slowed or stopped and anyone in range of the burst of air gets pushed back and knocked off their feet. This takes a while to summon so she can only use it once a minute.

I confirm that I have read and agreed to the Rules of Conduct. Yep

Does one make a new roster if one's current roster from a switched character is archived, or does one just unarchive the roster and edit it? I did the latter with Ballad for Isaac Clarke and I was wondering if that was the "proper" way or not.

In Round 2, the team that scored the highest will, by default, 'begin' the post order.

So if Person A and Person B scored 3.0 in Round 1 and are now facing the team of Person C and Person D, who scored a 2.8, the post order would be...

Person A -> Person C -> Person B -> Person D

If you hold posting precedence and you want to 'pass' it to the other team, you may. That'll be what this thread will be for.

Tomorrow morning, I'll go through and post the list of current matchups and the teams that will post first. In the meantime, you're more than welcome to do the math, if you wanna start planning now. I'll also post updated brackets.

Wario grinned his iconic toothy smile as his bike rumbled through the portal. It wasn't his first time falling through a portal. In fact, it seemed to happen very often. So the fat man was actually gently surprised when he realized that this was less of a wormhole or swirling endless abyss through which Wario had to fall, and more of an instant doorway. After all, he had just repaired his bike, and Wario figured that dropping through a wormhole with a bike wouldn't end well.

Wario instantly realized that he absolutely should have checked the signs before entering. This was a world of fire and ash. Wario's... unique physique meant that any sort of heat would be very unpleasant, indeed. The sweltering heat instantly drenched Wario's face with sweat and he felt his clothes starting to dampen already.

If Wario had any insight, he would have been worried about the state of his tires as they spun over the rough igneous rock of the Ashen Steppes. The relatively smooth path Wario had chosen was still bumpy from the cooled lava that froze mid-flow. In the distance, a giant volcano dominated the horizon, half of it split open and leaking like a cracked egg.

"Mamma-mia," Wario groaned, his words barely audible over the roar of his bike.

Wario had planned to ride aimlessly for a few minutes, when suddenly his bike jumped upwards, along with the squeak of a living creature. Wario shifted his weight accordingly, teeth gritted and eyes wide in surprise. The bike landed heavily on the craggy rock, miraculously still intact and carrying its passenger. Wario stopped the bike and hopped off. The fat man waddled over to where the bike had jumped. He wasn't concerned for the well-being of whatever he ran over, but in his experience, inciting incidents like these led to great treasure.

And he wasn't wrong. He had seemingly run over a Koopa Troopa, one of the ones from back home. Its shell was smashed to smithereens, but the turtle itself was still crawling around. The Troopa spat blood from its mouth and glared at Wario.

"Just my luck," the Koopa Troopa snarled, "I go looking – erk – looking for Apokalips Troopas and I find – cough – Wario."

"No need to sound disappointed, asshole," Wario cackled, stepping on the Troopa's trampled back with his foot. The turtle screamed as he did. “Is Bowser here? Seems like his kind of place. Very World 8.”

“Why should I tell you?”

“‘Cause I’m looking for work and if you tell me I won’t snap your back,” Wario cackled, “You remember how heavy I am, don’t you, Koopa?”

Wario put some more pressure on the turtle’s raw back, causing it to scream again.

“Okay, okay!” the Koopa Troopa wheezed, “I’ll tell you! Please, just stop!”

Wario lifted his foot and crossed his arms expectantly.

“He’s... he’s in the castle. To the north.”

“How far north?”

“Maybe 4 levels distance.”

“Levels?” Wario scowled. “Your king ain’t gonna throw me any of his welcome parties, is he?”

“Not if you bring me with you,” the turtle wheezed, pulling out a black and red flag from, well, frankly, who knew where Mushroom Kingdom creatures stored their things. “And this flag.”

Wario looked at him thoughtfully, before grinning widely again. If you were at Wario’s mercy, that was a smile you never wanted to see.

“Okay,” Wario smirked, then promptly threw his whole weight into an elbow slam.

***

Kevin Koopa grinned as he laid down his cards.

“Read it and weep, bitch,” Kevin chortled.

Kyle Koopa groaned and let his cards drop to the floor. He could never beat Kevin at cards. He wanted to just sit quietly for his shift, but noooo, Kevin wanted to play. What was more, the top platform of this guard tower was very tight, with just enough room for maybe three Koopa Troopas. It was awful enough that the tower was made of constantly hot stone, and captured all the sweltering heat into where they were. Now he was burning through his money too.

Kyle disdainfully tossed two coins at Kevin. The other Koopa continued to chuckle as he pocketed them.

“Something to do,” Kyle muttered as he looked away.

The tower was at least 60 feet in the air, and didn’t have much in the way of hand railings. The only way to get to the top was to climb the carved divots that the boss called a “ladder.” The inside of the tower was hollow, but Kevin could swear he heard something rumble every now and then. Kyle was less convinced. Who the hell would want to live in the towers?

Kevin’s eyes perked up at something. “Do you hear that?”

“Hear what?”

Kevin stood up, listening.

“Uh uh, I’m not falling for that again. Last time you did this I chased my shell for two hours-“

“Shut the hell up, Kyle. I hear something.”

Kyle groaned and rose to his feet as Kevin drew his binoculars. Kevin scanned the horizons before his jaw dropped.

“What?” Kyle asked, visibly more nervous.

“Erm,” Kevin attempted, “I, uh... You should take a look.”

Kevin handed Kyle his binoculars, his gaze unmoving. Kyle snatched them and looked where Kevin had looked.

He saw an obscenely obese man dressed in yellow and purple riding a motorcycle almost equally as large. Red plumes of dust chased its large wheels.

“God dammit, it’s Wario,” Kyle groaned bitterly, setting down the binoculars. “How the hell did you even hear-“

“Would you keep fucking looking!” Kevin snapped.

“A’ight, chill,” Kyle replied, looking again.

Once again (after briefly losing sight of the bike), Kyle saw Wario on his motorcycle. Badly attached to his handlebars, flapping in the red ash of the Steppes, was a black flag with the red outline of His Majesty’s head.

“Where the fuck did he get...”

Kyle peered more closely and noticed a rope tied around Wario’s engorged belly. As the bike jolted on the rough earth, a familiar Koopa’s unconscious face slid out from behind him.

“Is that Kenny?” Kyle exclaimed.

“Wait, Kenny? Gimme that.”

Kevin snatched the binoculars from Kyle and looked through. After a few seconds, he lowered the binoculars.

“Oh my God, he killed Kenny!”

"Blow the fucking horn, Kevin!" Kyle hollered, grabbing his flare gun.

Kevin dashed over to the giant horn perched at the top of the tower. He breathed in deeply and loudly, then blew into the horn. After an awkward second where the horn didn't make a sound except for amplified exhaling, the horn bellowed a note into the crimson skies. Meanwhile, Kyle fired the flare gun upwards, a bolt of blue light and smoke clashing against the red and grey ash clouds.

***

Wario had heard a loud horn earlier. He had ignored it. That was a poor choice.

A line of a dozen green-shelled Koopa Troopas were holding spears forward, completely blocking the path. As if that could injure Wario. Still, it would probably do some damage to his bike, and that would be a hassle. Wario growled as he jerked the bike to the side, sliding it and grinding the stone underneath into fine red dust.

"The fuck do you want?" Wario shouted.

From between the green-shelled soldiers marched forth a red-shelled Koopa Troopa. It had a long scar on its beak, visible even to Wario from his bike meters away.

"You seem to have killed one of ours," the red Koopa said, his voice deep and lordly, "That cannot stand. Get off the vehicle and surrender immediately in the name of His Burning Majesty, the Koopa King-"

"I don't wanna," Wario shouted back.

The red Koopa Troopa's jaw tightened irritably.

"Then we will be forced to apprehend you and bring you in for-"

"Wait, you arresting me for this one?" Wario yelled, pointing backwards with his thumb at the very dead Koopa Troopa, "I didn't kill him. It was an Apoka-whatever Troopa."

The red Troopa sneered. "You expect us to believe that the Apokalips Troopas killed a fine soldier like Kenny Koopa?"

"It was the last of them," Wario asserted, "They're all dead now, I guess. Good ol' Kenny here died fighting them."

"The Apokalips Troopas are all dead," the commander shouted back.

Wario pulled out the picture that he found on "Kenny".

"I don't fucking know, I’m new here. He said he was hunting them and offered a reward for helping. He died in battle, but so did the other exploding fuckers. Where's my reward?"

The wall of Koopa Troopas shuffled uncomfortably and started whispering. The Apokalips Troopas were still alive? The red Koopa Troopa raised his hand to quiet them.

"This seems more complicated than I expected," he said, "I should take you to His Burning Majesty."

"Where is the fucker, anyway?" Wario chortled.

The red Koopa Troopa scowled. "His Burning Majesty is in Castle Seven Dash Eight. One of our scouts can accompany you-"

"No thanks," Wario said, kicking the pedal of his bike. It roared to life, and the wall of Troopas broke in half to make way for his outrageous motorcycle.

The red Koopa Troopa sighed. He had heard Luigi was in the Omniverse not too long ago. He wished he stayed. At least Luigi was polite when he massacred them.
