| Plot Hook/Synopsis The world is in chaos. Today is the day that Maximillion Pegasus died of a mysterious wasting disease that claimed his life in less then twenty-four hours of showing symptoms. With his death, the fate of Industrial Illusions the company founded and solely owned by him that publishes the Duel Monster trading card game is unknown. Since the games creation several decades ago it has taken the world by storm, affecting global culture, business, and politics greater than any single invention since the creation of the written word.
He who takes control of Pegasus's legacy will become one of the most powerful men in the world. Such a prize draws the attentions of many people whose intentions may be not pure. The good news is that the Duel Monster Magnate had more foresight then most and in his last will and testament he put in place safeguards to keep the unworthy from claiming the ultimate prize. The bad news is that Pegasus was more then a bit eccentric and his method for doing so fitted his dramatic persona to a tee.
To put it quite simply Pegasus's solution to finding a proper heir from beyond the grave was to host a tournament. A battle royal where the last man or woman standing will become the new Chairman, CEO, and owner of Industrial Illusions. In preparation for this event Domino City has been bought out via funds set aside for this purpose before his death for this purpose. Anyone with 40 cards and a dream may enter the tournament, and hundreds have. The stage is set, and the tournament's opening date is coming up and so the eyes of the world turn to Domino City to watch as the world changes to a different era and a new King of Games is crowned.
But more lays beneath the surface then just a seemingly straight-forward tournament. Rumors exist of arcane magic, magic supposedly lost with the return of the Millennium Items to their crypt in Egypt being seen once are being whispered among the underground. With Pegasus's death and his almost presentient preparation for it along with these whispers have to be more then mere coincidence...right? Will you take the chance to join the game for your chance at collecting the ultimate prize and all the power, fame, and wealth such entails? The better question is how could you not.--------------------------------------------- The above is as it says, a plot hook for an RP I would be willing to run/GM given the chance. The usual drill regarding rules (IE decent length posts, no god-moding, etc). I prefer to see a couple of paragraphs or more on each post, if only to keep up quality. This is a yugioh RP so I am going to use a custom Character Sheet for it, as the one in the sticky does not suit my needs like it should. --------------- Name: Something normal-ish. No Gary Sunburst people. Gender: Obvious Age:The protagonists of the yugioh series tend to be seniors in high-school or older if the original series and GX are any indication. Lets keep the characters right around that range please. Personality: Describe your character in depth, what drives them, how do they act? Physical Appearance: Either written or a picture. I prefer the former but the latter can work too I suppose. The more detailed the better. Play Style: How does your character play the game, is he aggressive, going for the risky explosive gambit? Do they prefer to play it safe going for the controlled tactical win? Are they the type to toy with there opponent before finishing them off, what? This should tie into your character's personality, and the deck they use somewhat. Deck: Please put here what type of deck your character is playing as a header, but put the specific card list in Spoiler tags please. PS: I call dibs on the Inzektors archetype. They would be my favorite | |

| Then fill out a character sheet. Now we need at least one or two more people before we can start. I will fill out mine. | |

| I think I'll try. But I'll need a little bit of an assist when it comes to dueling. | |
