STORY:
A man in a white cloak stands in the center of a blue platform floating in the middle of a pitch black abyss. He walks to the edge of the platform and wonders aloud, “Who am I? Why am I here? I can’t remember.” He turns around and ponders the question. He had been there for ages, or so it seemed. What could possibly be his purpose here?

… What was he thinking again? That was odd, why would he forget? “Oh well,” He said, “who cares anyway? After all, I’ve been here alone so long. It’s about time I got some entertainment, is it not?” Walking to the center of the platform again, he raised his hands to the sky, and a ball of light shot up from between his palms. The orb flew into the air then split into several beams of light that then crashed into the ground.

The light dissipates and figures start to appear where they once stood. The man smiled under his hood. “Welcome one and all to my tournament everyone! The prize to win: your memories back! The penalty for failure: your existence.” All who looked at him as he said those lines could see a single glowing red eye in his otherwise hidden face.

Explanation:
The cloaked man has summoned heroes and villains from across time and space to battle for his amusement.
Everyone has been stripped of their memories, including their name and alignment, and they must gain them back through dueling.
Since they have been stripped of their memories, this is the perfect opportunity to craft them in a different light. Ie: a good Gannondorf/Evil Mario
Non duel battles are allowed and will be explained in a later section.

Character Creation:
Characters are anyone you want to use from a media source (Preferably Videogames, but Anime/Manga/Books/TV/Whatever is ok too).
(Sorry, no in-depth creation this time, next one will be custom from scratch characters)
You cannot have the same character as another player. If someone posts the character you wanted, before you: I’m sorry, no doubles.

Format:

Character Name:
Nickname: (Used prior to remembering your name)
Series:
First Appearance:
Alignment: (Originally)
Starting Equipment:
+ Any other Explanation you may want to give.

Ex:
Character Name: Dark Pit
Nickname: Raven
Series: Kid Icarus
First Appearance: Kid Icarus: Uprising
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Starting Equipment: First Blade

Memory Rules:
You gain a plot advancing memory every time you win a match.
You can also gain a plot advancing memory if you win 2 singles. (Tags and Turbos are also allowed: they count as single duels)
If you lose 3 singles or 2 matches before you complete 2 singles: you lose your progress towards that memory. Ie: If you win a single then lose 3 singles, that single you won no longer counts towards the 2 singles you need to win to get the memory.
YOU MUST POST REPLAYS!!!
You cannot remember your character’s name until your 7th memory.

Memory flashes are from a third person perspective as to allow them to be interpenetrated in a different way than they normally would.

Non Duel Battles:
If you participate in a Non Duel Battle, it is expected everyone to give each other’s character a fair chance.
You obtain a Combat Related Memory for every battle you participate in, win or lose. (A combat related memory is any memory that regains you a skill, yet does not advance the plot: AKA the memory of how to use the skill, nothing else.)
You can regain ONE plot advanceing memory from battling out of duels: I cannot be your first memory, or your Name.

Custom Card Rules: (Courtesy of Jakester390)
Each player will begin with 2 Custom cards, with the player gaining an additional card for each month that they are active in the RP. At the end of the month, 9link5 will select the player that has contributed to the RP the most during that month, and they will receive an extra custom card. If your custom cards seem to be interesting to me, I may create an additional custom card for you (max 1 per player).

Restrictions:
Each player can create up to 4 cards that will be Semi-limited, and no more than one per month.
Upon regaining their character’s name, the player is permitted to obtain 1 custom card that is strong enough that it will be limited.
I withhold the right to modify or reject any custom card submissions.

Conclusion:
Ok then, Sign up below, the RP will start when I have 10 or more members, but you can join at any time.
You can only have one character.
The only way to get removed from the RP is if you are deemed inactive for an unreasonable amount of time, without an excuse.
If anything is still unclear, ask and I’ll update the rules.
Please Note: My example Dark Pit is my character that I will be using for the RP.

Jake will not need to sign up as he is playing the villain of the story: something I have already talked with him about. I will however, control the White Robed Man, until the plot gets underway.

BAN-LIST:
You Must reduce opponent to 0 by attacking
NO Stall/Burn/FTK
Anime Cards are allowed

Submitting Custom Cards for Creation:
All custom card requests must be submitted to me via PM and in the following format. Any cards not in the format or submitted elsewhere will be ignored. You are allowed to submit more cards than you are allocated for the current time period. I will respond to your PM if I am changing a card, or determine if it is going to be Semi-Limited or Limited. Adding a card image is greatly appreciated.
