Alright, intro here. It's kind of long so bear with me. ...you'll get the pun in a little bit.
The tournament had not yet begun, yet matches were already taking place. These were one-on-one matches where teamless creatures fight to advertise themselves to other teams who were looking to fill slots in their roster. As it turned out, one match was taking place right now: a match between a fan-favorite, and... somewhat of an unintended heel.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" the announce called out. "TIME FOR ANOTHER ADVERTISEMENT MATCH! This fight will have no effect on your possible standings in the tournament, but is meant entirely to advertise these brave newcomers to other open teams looking for partners. ARE YOU READY FOR THIS WARM-UP ADVERTISEMENT FIGHTING MATCH!?" The crowd roared in excitement as the announcer was raising the hype. "OUR FIRST COMPETITOR! HAILING FROM PLAINS OF SAVARA, IT'S THE MIGHTY TYMAX!!!"
Out of one of the arena doors, you could see a pair of glowing eyes six feet above the ground. Loud stomping noises ensued as the creature came out of the darkness. There, we could see the Mighty Tymax was a fairly impressive looking Elephant with superb muscles, nice brass armor and a belt with a large pocket that seemed to hold a gun. He was also carrying a strange spear. It was round, not pointy in the slightest, and there were pads around the edges of the spear that would stop it from piercing much. You would think at first this guy was an idiot to bring this spear in, when in fact he was given a regulated spear by the tourney officials. Tymax raised his arms as the crowd cheered for him.
"AND HIS OPPONENT!!! ...Eh, some guy who will inevitably make a fool of himse... I mean, HAILING FROM THE WINDING RIDGES OF BELDOME, IT'S EVARON THE ENORMOUS!!!"
The announcer seemed less enthused calling this guy out. You couldn't see much in the darkness, but suddenly the arena started to shake. The shakes kept getting louder and more vibrant until Evaron showed up. The shacking stopped once he stood idle. This creature, actually, lived up fully to his nickname. He was a HUGE bear, about eight feet tall and looked to weigh about 800lbs or so. He was wearing a huge open biker's jacket and a pair of shades, but didn't even bother to put an undershirt on to hide his belly. This guy was also swinging a microphone around on it's cord. He... didn't seem to have any weapons, but he seemed to have some impressive strength in his own right. His width would soak up a lot of damage, and he seemed to have very strong arms and legs, which would allow him to move surprisingly well despite his weight. He actually dwarfed the fairly large elephant by quite a lot. Even though he wasn't particularly puny looking, his entrance was followed by several "boos" and jeers.
Suddenly, Evaron stopped swinging his microphone around and brought it to his mouth. It looked like he was about to talk or something.
"Oh no, he's about to sing again!" The announcer groaned.
But before Evaron could belt out a single word, Tymax pulled his gun out and fired directly at Evaron's hand. The bullet, like the spear, was regulated and fired blanks, but it shot enough force out to knock that microphone out of Evaron's hand.
"Hey! That's not very sportsmanlike of you!" Evaron shouted.
"No one likes your singing!" Tymax taunted. "Now hurry up and lose! I got myself a team to join!"
Tymax and Evaron charged straight at each other. Their running was loud and clear, yet the ground wasn't shaking like it did in Evaron's entrance, which suggested that he was using magic as a special effect. Tymax got the first shot as he swung straight at Evaron's leg. Evaron toppled right over on the ground, landing belly first before rolling onto his back. Tymax then stood on Evaron and was about to thrust his spear into Evaron's torso. Evaron quickly swiped the spear, and managed to yank it out of Tymax's hands.
"Ha! Did you really believe that would hurt me, even if you DIDN'T use a tourney-issued spear?" Evaron asked.
"I don't need that spear to do you in," Tymax taunted.
Evaron then launched Tymax right off of him before getting up. Tymax landed into the dirt a few feet away from him. Evaron took Tymax's spear and started advancing toward him, this time causing the ground to shake with his steps: again, probably using magic to do so. Tymax pulled his gun on him and fired at Evaron. His shots did nothing to him as Evaron grew near. When Evaron was close enough, he thrust his spear at Tymax. Tymax rolled out of the way and managed to get up just in time to jump over another swing of the spear. He then punched Evaron's arm that was holding the spear, using enough force to knock the spear out of his hand. Evaron tried to retaliate by clapping his paws together on Tymax's head, but Tymax charged right into Evaron's gut and thrust his palms into him. He clutched onto Evaron and started to lift him. It was kind of surprising Tymax could lift someone so huge, but eventually he hoisted him over his head before dropping Evaron off into the ground behind him. This seemed to have caused Evaron a lot of pain. ...But not as much as what happened to him next. Tymax decided to finish him off by firing his gun right at Evaron's head. This knocked Evaron clean out, causing his massive body to grow lifeless.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOUR WINNER BY A KNOCK-OUT!: THE MIGHTY TYMAX!!!"
The crowd cheered as Tymax started to pose for the audience. Suddenly, some small creatures came out, a pair of lizards, both wearing white robes, came out and went towards Evaron. They went over to him and started to glow as they put their hands toward his head. The blank came out of his forehead, and the wound it left was mending. Eventually, Evaron was recovered and able to get up.
"Aww, man," he said to himself. "I was hoping I would win that one. Now no one's going to take me seriously." Evaron walked out with the two lizards as the crowd continued to cheer for Tymax. Evaron wasn't ready to give up, but this match meant his chances of getting a team for the official matches would go down. This made the eager bear feel very sad.
OOC: Yeah, I'm playing another fat guy. Can't help it, I just love playing as them.
Name: Evaron "The Enormous"
Animal: Bear
Age: 28
Appearance: Mentioned in the intro.
Personality: Evaron has a generally gentle heart, but is a little full of himself. He likes to sing a lot, and hates being cut off. He's also slightly egotistical, but that's mostly towards opponents. He tries to treat any potential teammates with respect, but will get angry any time someone mocks his splendid singing.
Backstory and Motive: Not surprising for one his size, he's a professional sumo-wrestler. ...Or was, until the dojo he was in shut down. Now he works as a freelancer, who takes jobs to get by in life. However, he has a hard time getting work, as many do not take him seriously, so he doesn't get jobs that often, though usually does a decent job when he DOES get them. Sometimes he takes a break from freelancing, and uses some money to fund magic lessons, though so far he's only learned earth-based magic.
Evaron misses his life as a Sumo Wrestler, and longs to one day rebuild his dojo. That is why Evaron went to this tournament, in hopes of making at least ten-thousand dollars to help open the dojo again. ...But he lost touch with his friends from the dojo, and came without a partner. He hopes someone will take him seriously, see what he has to offer, and be allowed into a team.
Special moves/abilities/weapons: For magic abilities, he can shake the ground, summon boulders and cause spikes to jut out, but that is about it. His only real weapons are his immense strength and his microphone, which he often uses as a weapon.
Other: It's arguable whether he really sings, more like raps in a deep voice.
