Since my last magical tournament was mysteriously deleted and went bust, I'll be making this gauntlet, instead! ><
Following your origin, you somehow find an artifact, or are given access to a blessing(s) of your choice. The lore and plot device aspect is up to you ;P
You have 100 points to pick the blessings and equipment that you want. You may pick one origin for free.
Post your character for me to look over!
I'll post up the rounds a few days from now.
Origins
Blessed Dirt - You were molded from the magical clay of Paradise Island - you are practically wonderful in every way!
Grants slightly enhanced stats, martial arts training and resistance to magic. (2 ton strength, 15mph speed, heightened agility) You are also equipped with the Amazons' Bracelets of Submission, durable enough to block gunfire. You are also given a 25 point discount on the Bracelets of Victory, bringing their cost down to 25 points.
This time for sure! - You are a magically-empowered super villain of some kind! After being defeated at the hands of your nemesis for the umpteenth time, you somehow gain new abilities. You have the ability to cast rudimentary spells (bolts, weak barriers) and you are able to pick one 25 point "equipment" or "blessing" for free.
Gone! Gone! the form of man - You are cursed into a demonic form of some kind. You have knowledge of the arcane, the ability to throw balls of flame and breathe fire. You are also highly resistant to magic, and a little more durable. You also smell kinda bad. (No strength, speed or other benefits.)
The Name's Billy Batson! - You are a little boy able to magically transform into a super hero! Grants the ability to renew yourself ONCE with magical lightning. The lightning cannot be used offensively. You may also choose one extra blessing at HALF efficiency.
Child of Greatness - You are the offspring of a god. Being half-god, you have a base strength of 3 tons and are slightly more durable, able to shrug off standard human-level punches and blows. You gain access to a free blessing at 25% efficiency, or an extra 25% efficiency on one blessing. This will give an extra use on any limited use powers, as well.
Joe Schmoe - You are just a normal dude. You were, through some plot device, given powers, or found a magical artifact that grants you powers. (Grants an extra 50 points to spend, but no other benefits.)

The initial gauntlet will be several rounds, and I'll be posting them either tomorrow or the day after. After that, I'm thinking of letting the people that clear vs. each other, but I'm not sure. The focus will be clearing the gauntlet!
I tried to make as many options available as possible. I'm hoping for a lot of variation.
