You may only enter in with one of your characters, you must provide a link to that character. Characters in registration are allowed to enter however if the character takes a long time to be accepted, it will be moved to GM+ chat whether your entry will be defaulted to the runner-up.
As you're all aware if you win the lotto it does not guarantee you the weapon, but guarantee's you a shot at it. Once won you will post a D-rank PB consisted of one thread, that one thread will be to retrieve the weapon. I will accept your PB, and then throw up the thread necessary for your weapon retrieval. However anyone of equal rank or below can invade the thread and attempt to steal the weapon. However if you have a stat total more than +10 of the winner you cannot enter the thread.
Anyone who enters the topic will have the opportunity to take the weapon. How you do so is entirely at your discretion, may it be killing the owner, or simply grabbing the weapon and running.
The topic will remain open for 10 days, if no one enters, the winner can exit the topic unhindered. If anyone does, the topic will continue until completion, with a 5 day post requirement.
Now, I should make a few things clear:
You MAY NOT enter this lottery (or attempt to usurp a lottery winner) if you have a Genma. Or if you have won any other weapon lotteries, and exited the plot board with a weapon. Or if you won any of the positions from the Kage/Bannin lottery
There is a cost of 25 points to whoever ends up with the weapon, not to the lottery winner.
Winning the lottery does not promise you the weapon, I cannot make this any more clear.
Death in these plot boards is real, so proceed with caution.
Remember that the 5 Evils of Mankind are village locked, meaning they will remain in circulation where ever they end up after this, please keep this in consideration when entering.
As with everything else produced by the forum, OOCs cannot place any of the weapons in their own villages unless they are willing for forfeit their position as OOC.
The weapons for the lottery will be...
Emperor Reizei's Pauldron, Emperor Ankan's Greaves, & Envy
Emperor Reizei’s Pauldron A pauldron often worn over the right shoulder with an attachment that actually clamps into the body to function. When engaged with an opponent, the pauldron acts as a stat shifter. Splitting the users stats into two groups: Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Control, and Instinct versus Taijutsu, Speed, Stamina, and Strength. Every post the Pauldron reduces the highest stat on the wearer in the first group, by 2 points, and increases one of the stats in the second group, whichever is highest on the opponent, by 2 points, until the second stat matches that of the opponent. Then it continues on with the 2nd highest stat for the wearer and opponent, so on for 10 posts. At the end of 10 posts, the user’s stats become locked as they are until they are disengaged from combat with that opponent. In battles with multiple opponents, the Pauldron elects a target with the highest stat total, should it be tied the user can select a target, but cannot change it unless the chosen target disengages.
Envy
“What’s mine is mine, what’s yours is mine” A beaded necklace most often worn around the neck, Envy is a precarious weapon. By snapping the string that holds the beads and channelling chakra through them at the same time these beads quickly increase in size and mass, becoming 18 lbs each, which float behind and can be controlled by the user. The beads can be controlled as if like a swarm, functioning via the user's Control as the Sync stat. The beads can be destroyed with a strike great than the users stamina; however they can repair themselves, taking 5 posts to repair at the cost of 3 Stamina per bead to the user. The beads can only extend up to 20 meters from the user, any further and they immediately return to orbit behind the user's back. These beads all have a almost gravitational like pull to them, pulling things towards them with a strength equal to ½ the control of their user.
Good luck, feel free to ask questions. Drawing will be done on April 27th.
