Ahoy me buckos! Be ye ready fer a quest? An adventure across th' Seven Seas fer some lovely booty? Well, ye're not th' only one! But 'o course ye th' one who deserves th' treasure! So get out thar 'n fight fer it, matey!

Rules:

Well, if you didn't guess it from the title and intro, this is a tournament where you get to assemble a group of pirates and battle across the seas! You will chose a team of 5 streetlevelers, a crew, and a ship and take it to battle for the ultimate treasure.

Captain:

Your Captain is your leader. He or she must have some experience in leading and follow the rules below.

  • Strength: 20 Tons.
  • Speed: Mach 2.
  • Durability: A shot from a tank would kill them.
  • Power Output: You can not destroy a yacht with a single attack.

Gunner:

The gunner is the expert in long range attacks.

  • Strength: 10 Tons.
  • Speed: Mach 1.
  • Durability: A shot from an RPG would kill them.
  • Power Output: Equivalent to an RPG.

Swordsman:

The swordsman is the melee expert. He/she doesn't have to use swords, just some close range weapons or ability.

  • Strength: 10 Tons.
  • Speed: Mach 1.
  • Durability: A shot from an RPG would kill them.
  • Power Output: Equivalent to an RPG.

Wildcard:

The wildcard can be anyone with any special ability, as long as they fit the rules.

  • Strength: 10 Tons.
  • Speed: Mach 1.
  • Durability: A shot from an RPG would kill them.
  • Power Output: Equivalent to an RPG.

Parrot:

The trusty pet of the pirate. Is doesn't have to be a parrot, just some kind of animal.

  • Strength: 10 Tons.
  • Speed: Mach 1.
  • Durability: A shot from an RPG would kill them.
  • Power Output: Equivalent to an RPG.

Crew:

You get 15 nameless fodder for crew aboard your ship.

  • Strength: 1 Ton.
  • Speed: Olympic Athlete.
  • Durability: A gunshot to the head would kill them.
  • Power Output: Equivalent to a handgrenade.

The Ship:

The vessel your team rides upon. Can be any seafaring boat. Keep in mind the weapons on the ship and everything is what your team will have access to.

  • Speed: Mach 1.
  • Durability: 3 shots from a tank would damage it.
  • Power Output: Can not destroy a yacht with a single attack.

Misc. Rules:

These apply to all categories.

  • No offensive telepathics or teleporting.
  • No attacks that can not be avoided by a person within the limits.
  • No intangibility, power theft or nullification, duplication/summons, time/reality warping, or invisibility.
  • No force fields on your ship.
  • Your team gets only their standard gear and what's on the ship.
  • Your ship can not be bigger than the Titanic.
  • Information must be given on every one of your characters and your ship. Whether it's a sentence or two of their abilities or a link to their wiki, I need something to go off of here.
  • Regeneration rules for all classes: You must go down from decapitation or a RPG to the chest.
  • Nerfing is ok only if the character only slightly breaks that rule.
  • Your characters will want to work together to win but not perfectly.

The Dangers/Luck of the Sea:

Before every match, your team will receive one buff and one debuff from a random list. This could be anything from having some crew members eating by a sea monster or having the enemy team's gunner come down with scurvy.

Contestants:

Please give your pirates a team name and use the dots when possible.

@agentghostrider: I coulda swore something was in the OP, I'll have to edit. Decapitation must kill. Stats can only be nerfed if they're barely above the rules.

@jacthripper: Not even gonna ask.

I've heard Midnighter is crazy hax. Unless I've heard wrong, his battle computer allows him to counter everything and his doors allow BFR. If that's true, he's a nope.

You gotta be full animal. No Goku.

What are the Mikakuru soldiers?

@joewell: Midnighter is hax, I'll admit. He's the best possible choice for captain though, and his battle computer will be limited to what I can think up. I can go without Doors.

Hmm, Could I get Beast Boy limited to basic animals (no dragons or anything)?

@joewell: Also, Mirakuru soldiers. One was able to punch Arrow into the air and bend the vent he hit. They basically ragdoll people with their strikes, and they have minor healing factors. A shot to the head would kill them, but an arrow was bent when fired into one's leg. However, they've been brought down by peak human's strikes.

Deadpool breaks the durability limits

Technically they break the regeneration limits, not the durability limits. Without their healing factors an RPG should kill them.

@lunacyde: There's no regen limits stated. Unless the people want to use a healing factorless Deadpool then I'd suggest picking someone else.

@joewell I had a lengthy explanation for all four, but CV ate it. Long story short, they all break the limits to such an extent that Nerfing them would be counter intuitive to their powersets and fighting styles.

@juiceboks: The regen rule is that decapitation or something equal would have to kill them. It's in the OP.

Meh, if they wanna use faulty characters, let 'em. Just let it be known they'll be placed on the level of everyone else.

Do you plan on joining?
