[float=right][/float]Personality –
Blackfire’s pride and arrogance stem from her upper class status, and as royalty. Due to her unpleasant past, she lacks social skills. It also has a strong bearing as to why there is only one person she has ever valued as a close friend. Society made her the way she is, a person that finds it difficult to get close to and trust others; consequently, she is generally wary of anyone she encounters.

Blackfire’s superior level of intelligence blends with her cold nature, resulting in a cunning individual capable of using someone for her own benefit.

Possible Reactions –
Blackfire understands the game very well, thus, she would do whatever it takes to win, even if it means demeaning herself by forming temporary allies. Regardless, due to her untrustworthy nature, she will be cautious around every other participant, even if she’s has to literally sleep with one eye open.

In summary, if anyone so much as gives her a reason to think they are a threat, for instance, something as simple as sliding their hand into their pocket; she will eliminate them instantly.

Relationships –
None.

‘Combat’ Style –
Blackfire considers herself a complete warrior and believes she possesses the physical capability to adapt to any type of adversary.

Aside from her ability to manipulate energy into explosive weapons of mass destruction, she is also a highly proficient martial artist, possessing skills in a variety of combat disciplines: karate, taekwondo, muay thai, kickboxing, boxing, also blended with her grappling skills as a trained, judoka and jiu-jitsu practitioner.

Eligible Powers –

Master Acrobat

“Insolent fool”

“You are nothing but a commoner that should be cleaning my boots.”

“You are finished!”

“I will reduce you to ashes!”

“Hahahahaha!”

“You insect.”

“You are nothing more than vermin.”

“You should be privileged to be in the presence of a Queen.”

I have decided to find a couple of Lubbock gifs that fit somewhat with the theme of DA, and I generated some text to add to them, and I can't decide which one to use! So, I decided to leave it up to everyone else to decide for me!

As you know, this entire contest (starting from the Barracks) will be filmed and 'streamed' (depending on the verse, it might be projected through less technical and more magical means) to all parts of the Omniverse.

Due to how hip Syntex is, there will be a lot of social media activity, and all entrants are permitted to have Dataverse-capable devices on the island (although all they can be used to access is social media websites like Omni Twitter -- no emails, no porn, no nothing). Although you are already being filmed, you may still upload videos and other things to the Dataverse MBs throughout the contest. Think of this as a way to connect with the viewers (and fans) who may support you. This is an optional story element, and while I will be reading everything in the Dataverse that involves DA, it won't have a strong bearing on your chances, because I know some writers are masters of the Dataverse and some are not.

You must have a Dataverse Device to use it during the Island.

The city of Coruscant was marvellous. Its architecture was so impressive. The monarch could not deny that it was as advanced as Tamaran’s capitol, Myand’r. The buildings were allot taller, and as for the streets, they were bursting with constant activity despite the windy weather and dark grey, cloudy sky.

The most significant difference between Coruscant and Myand’r was their transport system. Coruscant contained flying cars. Such a thing did not exist in her home world. Why would they when the Tamaranean race had the ability to fly?

A feeling of mortification consumed Komand’r as she drew closer to the entrance of a skyscraper like building, classy, with a black and brown exterior. She was embarrassed as the only member of her race incapable of flight. Of course, she could help that due to being born with that deficiency, but it was still humiliating knowing she relied on a jet booster as her form of transport, growing up. The only positive aspect as a member of Tamaran’s royal family was that nobody had the courage to tell her she was a ‘joke’ to her face. On the contrary, that would have been better to hear, rather than the snickers and tranquil gossiping at her expense or the finger pointing and amused facial expressions, directed at her.

Growling, Komand’r backhanded the leaflet, which had flown towards her, diverting it towards her right. She did not even have to observe the leaflet to realise the contents printed on it. The ad was the same as the ones on many billboards and on the screens of LCD plasma TVs on display in electronic stores. Dante’s Abyss was returning, and of course, with a new slogan, ‘ARE_YOU_STRONG_ENOUGH_TO_SURVIVE?'

The slogans reflected the event, more tedious year after year after year. Komand’r’s father and brother were big fans of Dante’s Abyss. Myand’r owned every Dante’s Abyss on blu ray. She had only watched one in its entirety, the 1st Annual Dante’s Abyss. She did not like it. Just like professional wrestling, it was fake; the deaths were not real. The queen believed that ‘anything not genuine was meaningless’, therefore, Dante’s Abyss, to her, was meaningless. For that reason, she would never sign up for it, watch it or pay it any interest.

The two stormtroopers escorting Komand’r greeted both of their colleagues, whom guarded the entrance of the five star hotel, Crème De La Crème.

Komand’r was filled with amazement after entering the automatic, double doors. Her delightful grin illustrated how impressed she was by the hotel’s interior. The marble floor was a blend of colours – ontana, sable, prealpi and riccio. The material of the black sofas, armchairs and side chairs was so authentic that the leathery smell lingered into her golden complexioned, nostrils. She liked that kind of aroma, anything fresh, new, and she liked the sight of clean places, and classy and spacious places. Naturally, one would expect that from an individual born into a life of luxury.

The line of the queue towards the reception desk was, approximately, five metres. The type of people waiting in line differed. Other than the obvious differentiation in size and height, were their body structures and skin tones. The only species she identified were humans. Only Omni knew the origins of the aliens and humanoids there since he was the one who brought them from their worlds, into his Omniverse.

Komand’r gazed at the stormtrooper to her right and then to the one by her left. “You don’t expect me to join the queue, do you?”

“How else are you expecting to register for a room?” replied the man to her right.

“Registering is not the issue. The issue is me, Komand’r, Queen of Tamaran, having to…” She squinted her eyes at the people in line, repulsed. “I cannot even utter those words. You,” she glanced at the man on her right once again, and then to the woman on her left. “You want me to wait in line, with these people?! That is absurd. Surely, both of you have not lost your minds?”

The young, female trooper turned towards her, gazing up at the Tamaran who was a couple of inches taller. “Look, your highness, while you are at the top of the hierarchy on your planet, you’re not here.” The female trooper turned towards the queue, which had gained three new people. “If you were, those people wouldn’t be queueing to check-in; they’d be queueing up to get your autograph.”

The reality of the woman’s sentence stung; a type of moment when you had no reply.

Komand’r’s mentor Tyrand’r, entered her mind. So this what you meant by learning how to adapt, she thought.

What are some songs you expect would be used in the background for Dante's Abyss as if it were a tv show?


For example I'm picturing this playing in the background while everyone is taken to the barracks and gets their stuff before a TO BE CONTINUED flashes on screen.

I just want to say that, in my opinion, you are all winners. Unfortunately, only one of you can walk away as 'the' winner of Dante's Abyss.

I think the more difficult part than the writing will be trying to ultimately figure out who lives and who dies. I just ask that you understand the position I will be in and don't take it to heart if you bow out before you think you will or if you think that something went unfairly for you. I'm trying my best to create an event that will be entertaining and enjoyable for everyone.

That said, this is also a contest of sorts, and a tactical one at that. We're all friends, so I think we should all be able to handle some friendly competition from writers and the inevitability that someone may trick you or out-play you. Someone might be banished, and someone will undoubtedly be shot with a one-hit KO. Don't be mad. Have fun. We're all friends, so we should able to do the token baby face move where we all shake hands and then pull out all the stops to win.

Appearance - Negi appears to be seventeen years old. He has spiky, reddish-brown hair and brown eyes. He has a thin scar on his left cheek and another on his right arm. He usually wears a white cape, whose fringes are ragged from use.

When using Magia Erabea, Negi's skin becomes suffused with darkness and his movements leave dark flames in its wake. On both arms, intricate spiral based designs appear, extending from the back of the hand to the forearm. These designs are black, edged with purple.

Personality - Negi is kind and loyal, the kind of hero who might just save the world in the process of saving his friends. He sees the best in others and would like to be friends with them, even with former enemies.
Negi is also single minded to a fault. When he sets his mind to accomplish something, he often disregards everything else to pursue it. He tends to operate alone, unwilling to drag his friends into his problems.

When using Magia Erabea, Negi becomes much more aggressive and impulsive.

Possible Reactions - Negi has entered as he has vague recollections of competing in fighting tournaments, but he hasn't yet realized that the fights in this one are to death. He will usually fight only in self-defense and in a fight, he will aim to knock out the opponent, rather than to kill. He will only use Magia Erabea when the situation is desperate as he may lose control.

Relationships - Guu: He feels indebted to her as she brought him into the town of Ambrosia when he was injured

Combat Style - Negi is a tactical fighter and is able of quickly adapting to changing conditions. He uses his speed and acrobatics to evade and augments his strikes with magic, though he is a capable fighter even without magic. Negi will attempt to avoid confrontations when possible, unless an ally is in danger, in which case he will jump into battle to protect them. If forced to fight, he will attempt to knock out the opponent,quickly with a powerful strike to avoid dragging out the battle.

Eligible Powers - Burst Movement, Basic Super Jumping, Master Acrobat

Moves - Ouka Houken (Tier 0 Super Move), Magia Erabea:Sim Fabricatus Ab Incendio (Tier 1 Powered Up Form)

Extra - Negi uses a variant of a form of martial arts known as Kenpo, which features low stable stances and short powerful movements that combine both attack and defense, focusing mostly on the use of the arm and full body techniques as well as counters.

Quotes - "I won't let you harm my comrades."

Personality – He's like the The Fonze, only ninja style.

Possible Reactions – Sasuke has joined the Abyss, partially forced by the Empire, but mostly due to his search for Itachi. Upon encountering someone, he is more likely to try to 'beat answers out of' people he comes across. He wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone he could, and he wouldn't think twice about using anything to his advantage, save for betrayal. If the shinobi has actually offered you an alliance, he'll keep his word.

Relationships –

Jon Snow- Recently encountered Snow and doesn't know much about him, but he knows Jon is being forced against his will, like him, and so born of the same situation, Sasuke intends to help and receive aid from this person during the games.

Mami- First person Sasuke came across in the Nexus and also, in his opinion, the most equipped to handle themselves compared to any others he's encountered. He also finds her, as a person to be genuinely appealing, though he doesn't know why, but is drawn to her. If he comes across her, he'll more likely try to persuade anything outcome other than combat and would only do so if it mean elimination. However, if he must, he must, he will not lose Dante's Abyss over this fondness he has over her.

‘Combat’ Style – Sasuke is overly confident in his combat ability, however, being trained as a Shinobi, he is likely to access a situation before rushing off into conflict.... thought not always; he's really cocky. He is proud of his martial art skills and quick to display them. Likewise with his intellect, he is clever and quick in crafting a strategy on the fly.
