The Grand Master
09-18-2011, 03:12 AM
The Master held his head in his hands. This wasn't how it was supposed to go.
It was a simple enough idea. Start up a battle to the death between eight powerful fighters across the multiverse. (Eight was his lucky number, after all.) But then he'd realized there were simply too many candidates!
He'd settled on a solution, though; get someone else to do it for him. He called up eight of his fellow transdimensional deities, and asked them to each pick a contestant to enter the battle.
Or at least that was the plan. As soon as they'd arrived at his sanctum to start the ceremony, they began bickering with each other. He couldn't even get a word in edgewise.
This was ridiculous! He was just trying to get eight beings to fight with each other for his amusement, but he couldn't because these... eight beings... were fighting with each other...
He lifted his head from his hands and smiled. Perhaps there was a way to handle this after all.
Welcome to the Grand Master! This is an absolutely terrible idea.
This is a standard Grand Battle, except the Master has decided to enter his Grandmaster-level colleagues. In short, your character is going to be a Grandmaster, with all the ridiculous powers and various mental issues that entails.
I'm expecting an absolute disaster. Anyways, here's a profile template for you:
Name: They're a Grandmaster, so this should be The Noun!
Gender: Assuming they don't transcend it.
Race: What type of godlike being are they?
Text Color: So we can tell them apart without being driven to madness. #3F6109 is reserved for my use.
Backstory: How did they come into existence or acquire their incredible powers?
Description: What do they look like when they allow our mortal minds to gaze upon them? And how specifically are they a terrible person?
Weapons/Abilities: Well, okay, they're basically omnipotent, so this is more of what they specialize in besides being omnipotent.
I'll give you rounds, but given every one of you has dimensional manipulation powers, this is probably a futile exercise.
Now let's board this trainwreck!

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
