				<div class="floatleft">(http://i48.tinypic.com/1043rrt.jpg)</div><strong>"Welcome to the Dark Tournament!</strong> As we currently have more people willing to join up than create their own complete teams, I have lowered the count from sixteen teams to eight - but only for the moment. If we quickly fill all these slots, we can expand. Or I might just fill the rest of the slots with NPC's. We'll see how it goes from here on out. For the time being, however, you will find the current and up-to-date standings listed below as well as all the teams in the tournament. Please update your roster if your members are killed in one deliciously brutal way or another, otherwise incapacitated, or any other important notes that happen as the game develops. <br><br>Let's take a moment to go over the rules again; your team <strong>MUST</strong> begin with five fighters, though that number is sure to change as the days go on! Teams may assign an alternate, but that alternate may only fight if the committee has proof of the death of a member. So no sneaking in a sub just because you want to sleep in that day! Fight conditions, barring the final round, can be decided by the opposing teams! Best of five is traditional, so three victories wins it! Any skill or weapon is allowed! Don't be afraid to get out there and wild! I <strong>LOVE</strong> the action and the carnage, and so do our viewers! Aside from grisly dismemberment, you can lose if you are knocked out for ten seconds, or if you are out of the ring for ten seconds! In the event of total ring destruction, only KO's and deaths will count! All guests of the Dark Tournament stay in the luxurious Hotel Kubikukuri, a resort with five star service from top to bottom! Though no matter how much I ask they won't add in a pool! But that's okay! Hanging Neck Island has plenty of beaches to tan on! Between matches fighters are welcome to roam the island to train, relax, or do any number of underhanded things! Frankly I encourage you to keep all the violence in the ring where I can enjoy it, though. It's just better that way! Well, with that out of the way... get registering!"<br><br><br><br><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>CURRENT TEAM STANDINGS</strong></span><br>Team Genkou----<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;l------<br>Team Chu&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;----&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; l<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;l----- Mystery Championship Team<br>Team Temple----&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;l<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;l------<br>Team Shinobi----

				<span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>[TEAM TEMPLE]</strong></span><br><em>Player(s): MzHyde</em><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i47.tinypic.com/2j2u81h.jpg)</div><strong>-Team Captain:</strong>Mona Temple<br><strong>--Gender/Age:</strong>Female/27<br><strong>--Human/Demon:</strong>Human<br><strong>--Brief Bio:</strong>A NYPD Detective from the human world, Mona gained spiritual awareness during a time of great stress in her childhood. She grew up on the streets and spent a lot of time in the wrong crowd, joining various gangs until one of them betrayed her and let her take the fall for a robbery gone wrong. She opted to fight on the side of the law for various reasons after that. As she rose through the ranks she started noticing that many of the criminals she was arresting seemed 'off'. They were, in fact, demons in disguise. After much painstaking detective work she found out the truth about the three worlds. She spent many years honing her spiritual and combat abilities and receives much attention in both the Spirit and Demon worlds. As such, she has been given an invitation to compete.<br><strong>--Appearance:</strong>A tough, no-nonsense woman. Athletic. Heavily scarred in places; her left arm, stomach, shoulder, and neck. Various bullet or knife wounds. Usually dresses nicely, despite her punk-rock appearance. A black vest with a white dress shirt, black slacks, and a red tie. <br><strong>--Abilities:</strong>Mona can wreathe her fists in explosive spirit energy, charging every punch with the force of a large explosion. She can form a short blade or&nbsp; what she dubs 'spirit grenades' with her energy. Her strongest weapon is the Fist of The Mortal Flame. Like other spiritually aware humans, she has supernatural endurance, strength, and stamina.<br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i48.tinypic.com/29pp1s1.jpg)</div><strong>-Member #1:</strong>Gale Barrows<br><strong>--Gender/Age:</strong>Female/30<br><strong>--Human/Demon:</strong>Human<br><strong>--Brief Bio:</strong>A criminal from New York City, Gale is a recurring player in Mona's story. Constantly evading capture, this hitwoman has formed a strange relationship with the detective. They seem to actually enjoy chasing one another. It helps that Gale is generally only accepting contracts to kill other criminals. On their last encounter, Temple noticed that Gale was showing signs of spiritual awareness. Disbelieving of the officer's warnings, the sharpshooter fled and did her own research. Upon receiving an invite to the tournament, she sought out the detective and the two formed a temporary alliance. <br><strong>--Appearance:</strong>A fiery redhead with a penchant for firearms. Missing one eye, wears a heart-shaped patch over it. Dresses in black; a long coat or leather jacket, pants, boots, and shirt. Often, her jackets are made of heavy moose leather or lined with Kevlar plates for added protection. Due to this making them extremely heavy, she is a very strong woman.<br><strong>--Abilities:</strong>Gale's spirit energy bolsters her endurance, allowing her to shrug off the mightiest of blows. She can also create 'bullets' with it and flick them towards her opponents with nothing but a little snap of her fingers. As an experienced markswoman, her shots are deadly accurate. Her strongest attack is called Spirit Shotgun.<br><br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i50.tinypic.com/v324hy.png)</div><strong>-Member #2:</strong>Jack The Ripper<br><strong>--Gender/Age:</strong>Female/150+<br><strong>--Human/Demon:</strong>Demon<br><strong>--Brief Bio:</strong>The truth is clouded in mystery, but she calls herself Jack The Ripper. This odd British-accented demon was caught by Mona while she was investigating a string of unsolved murders. For some reason, being caught actually enamored Jack with the detective and she continually pops up in Mona's life. Odd and very hard to catch, Jack has proven to be a staunch ally and often times shows up out of nowhere. If she really is the Ripper as she claims, she must be well over a hundred years old. She has apparently been stuck in the human world for quite some time.<br><strong>--Appearance:</strong>Jack is a demon, despite her humanoid appearance. She seems to be a lovely young woman with a British accent. She dresses oddly, in a dress, bowler hat, and boots. Rarely is she ever seen without her umbrella, which hides a number of cunning weapons. Jack seems to always be wearing a smile, which can be slightly unsettling.<br><strong>--Abilities:</strong>Jack's specialty lies in her frightening speed and her strange fighting style. Her umbrella contains a number of hidden blades and a grappling hook. She is adept with knives and in hand-to-hand combat fights with acrobatic, kick-based style. Lastly, she can use her demon energy to summon a spectral fog and shroud her movements, confusing things even further.<br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i45.tinypic.com/2ynqfxj.png)</div><strong>-Member #3:</strong>Reiko Gozen<br><strong>--Gender/Age:</strong>Female/200+<br><strong>--Human/Demon:</strong>Demon<br><strong>--Brief Bio:</strong>Another demon caught in the human world, Reiko was operating an illegal infirmary. Gifted with a skill for surgery and anatomy, but no way (or desire) to do things the human way, Reiko simply donned a human disguise and opened her own clinic. Since she could not conduct legitimate business, she would often cater to underworld criminals. Mona was wary at seeing criminals she'd gravely wounded back on the street in no time, and eventually managed to track Reiko down and capture her. The demon was delighted to see Mona's vast collection of scars and often wondered how she managed to survive all this time. Upon getting her invite to the tournament, Mona asked Reiko to fight on her team and the demon accepted. <br><strong>--Appearance:</strong>Though she often disguises herself as a beautiful Asian woman, Reiko's natural demon appearance is that of a green-skinned female, alien-like being. She dresses in a white, tight-fitting bodysuit and boots. <br><strong>--Abilities:</strong>Reiko has vast experience with medicine and surgery and she can spot weak points in other beings quite easily. She is deadly skilled with scalpels, saws, and other surgical instruments. She can even use her demon energy to summon such blades and throw them with incredible accuracy. Her regeneration is also off the charts, making it very difficult to injure her. <br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i49.tinypic.com/2aescwh.png)</div><strong>-Member #4:</strong>Medusa<br><strong>--Gender/Age:</strong>Female/Unknown<br><strong>--Human/Demon:</strong>Demon<br><strong>--Brief Bio:</strong>While most certainly not THE Medusa, it is the only name she goes by in both the demon and human world. Medusa is an ally of Gale's and she works in the human world as an arms dealer, selling rare and unique weapons. Unbeknownst to most of her clients, she gets a good deal of her more exotic wares from demon world. When Gale became spiritually aware she saw Medusa for what she really was. Medusa refuses to reveal her background, insisting that 'It's best not to dwell on the past'. Arrogant and self-centered, she fights only as a personal favor to Gale, whom has given her considerable business.<br><strong>--Appearance:</strong>In her human form she appears as a normal woman in her 20's, very attractive, with black hair and a thick Russian accent. In her demon form she appears humanoid, with green skin and darker green hair that can turn to snakes at her will. She often dresses in clingy, expensive-looking dresses or outfits that show off her shapely figure.<br><strong>--Abilities:</strong>Medusa has all the abilities one might expect. She has a hypnotic gaze and looking at her for too long can turn someone to stone. She can summon snakes at will and fights elegantly with a Snakesword (a longsword that can seperate into many bladed segments and give it extra reach, like a whip). <br>

				<strong>Captain of Team Genkou</strong><br><br><strong>Name</strong>: Senshin Genkou<br><strong>Gender/Age</strong>: Male/4000<br><strong>Human/Demon</strong>: demon<br><strong>Brief Bio</strong>: He is a quiet man at first but after some time he will start to speak more often and at times can even appear kind. He was raised to fight and kill, being trained in a unique combat style passed down through his family. The sword he carries is an heirloom that predates his family's existence and is more precious to him than life itself. He becomes more comfortable around women and even better when he's getting close to one of them. Though the award money is appealing his main goal is to add more powerful warriors to his roster of stolen souls, which adds to his power with each new addition.<br><strong>Appearance</strong>: http://freeimagesarchive.com/data/media/15/anime_9.jpg (http://freeimagesarchive.com/data/media/15/anime_9.jpg)<br><strong>Abilities</strong>: His abilities focus mostly on his demon skills and his sword.<br><em>Copy slash</em>: If an opponent is slashed with his sword and blood is drawn, the sword gains a slightly weaker version of their powers and takes a new form to accommodate those powers. This is a power that has no time limit and will only stop when he tells it too.<br><em>Kamikaze doll</em>: When enough physical contact is kept with his opponent he can spawn a doll that will fight for him and retain the appearance of his opponent or anyone he would like. The dolls have some abilities like his enemy but their powers are 90% weaker than the original. He can summon any number of dolls he would like and, if it seems necessary, he can make them explode. He would use it more often but it is extremely taxing to use for an extended amount of time.<br><em>Execution absorption:</em> When his enemy is near dead, or their life energy is depleted&nbsp; enough, Senshin can stab his sword into his opponents torso and it will send shock waves through their body before it begins to suck them into the gem on it's blade. Any enemy he kills this way is a permanent addition to his abilities, his sword gains whatever techniques they used, that make sense, and can use them at will. They are also a permanent addition to his doll collection. He has killed three people this way so far.<br><em>Call of the fallen</em>: If victory seems to be slipping away, Senshin can and will stab his sword through his body, performing traditional sepuku fashion. When it is complete his blood will spread out around him and the fallen enemies he has killed will appear, wearing faceless masks and ready to defend their master. They retain their abilities since he has returned them for a brief time, though they are mindless. If any of them are killed during this technique he loses them, their power, and it causes him severe pain. He will only do this as a drastic, last ditch effort. After words he will have lost whatever blood he spilled and will need healing or death will be very possible.<br><em>A returned force:</em> When death is near Senshin can take any of the life force he stole from his fallen enemies to heal himself. This will lose them and their power but will heal him. He cannot use this while he is using Call of the fallen.<br><br><strong>Team Member:</strong> #1<br><strong>Name:</strong> Ri'Staraa Akkad<br><strong>Sex and Gender:</strong> Male<br><strong>Age:</strong> 17<br><strong>Race: </strong>Human (demon-blooded)<br><strong>Bio:</strong> Only in the last year has he made it to Japan, but he is happy enough to remain in this country due to the accepting and safe culture. He's taken to learning the language and attending public school. He has since abandoned his parents' religion, seeing it as oppressive - even though his mother still stands by it and he respects her decision. He was invited by Tatsuya to further his unknown demon power and learn more of who he is and where his family hails.<br><strong>Appearance:</strong>http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee406/Mostly_roleplay_pictures/People/zeek.jpg (http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee406/Mostly_roleplay_pictures/People/zeek.jpg)<br><strong>Abilities:</strong> Ri's skills are a combination of the streetsmart skills he picked up due to his rough childhood, 3 relics that he owns and the gifts of his spiritual awakening. <br>Having to steal and hide to survive during his time in Saudi Arabia, he is adept at sneak attacks and disappearing when he does not want to be found. With the addition of his first artifact a colorful scarab-shaped amulet - his speed is greatly increased, which makes him nearly undetectable to human eyes.<br>His second great item - and his personal pride and joy - is a pair of shortswords. They work together as a single unit, each projecting a flow of electrical energy that doesn't harm the wielder. The shock swords are particularly lethal when combined with his Combat Cadence skills that lead for a distracting and alluring battle dance - that is, when Ri actually <em>wants</em> to be seen.<br>His third item is a pair of goggles/sunglasses that he wears usually outside of combat. They make it easier to search for anything, but in a fight might be cumbersome so he only uses it if looking for someone who is partially invisible.<br>His supernatural abilities are restricted to that of the air element. Although he doesn't know the cause of it yet, his lineage leads back to a great Djinni (a wind demon - his grandfather on his father's side). While he cannot fly, he can levitate and summon wind around him, calling it up to knock opponents back. He has an internal purification system that makes it impossible for airborne poisons to affect him - he can hold his breath indefinitely because part of his being actually <em>is</em> the air around him. On the other hand, his most powerful attack could possibly be when he is very focused and able to suck the air out a breathing opponent, collapsing their lungs. <br><br><strong>Team Member</strong>: #2<br><strong>Name:</strong>&nbsp; Lilith<br><strong>Gender/Age</strong>:&nbsp; Female/5000<br><strong>Human/Demon</strong>:&nbsp; Demon<br><strong>Brief Bio</strong>:&nbsp; Lilith, one of the oldest and strongest of the succubus demons from the Demon World, has finally stirred from a self imposed slumber for 1000 years. Being one of the few that faced Senshin and lived she was gifted her life in exchange for servitude, though she is free to go where she wishes she is bound to return to his side if he summons her and he wishes her to fight by his side in the tournament.<br><strong>Appearance</strong>:&nbsp; http://www.badfon.ru/image/34707-2560x1600.jpg (http://www.badfon.ru/image/34707-2560x1600.jpg)<br><strong>Abilities</strong>:&nbsp; <strong>Shapeshifting;</strong>&nbsp; She can shape shift to make herself more alluring and enticing to anyone, as long as it's a female form of some sort.<br><strong>Soul Drain;</strong>&nbsp; A simple kiss or a full on ride from Lilith is enough to suck the life out of any 'partner' she chooses to take to her bed, or on the ground, or wherever she happens to get lucky.&nbsp; The more she drains away the stronger she becomes and the stronger any resulting attacks that follow become.&nbsp; To another incubus or succubus however, they equalize when they mate together, meaning they can't be killed by each other's soul drain attempts.<br><strong>Expert at hand to hand and grappling;</strong>&nbsp; Centuries of fighting has made her a dangerous opponent up close.&nbsp; Able to grapple and pin her opponents with ease thanks to her flexible body, Lilith uses whatever opportunity she can to gain more strength at the cost of vital life energy from her opponent before pummeling them into oblivion...or screwing them to death.<br><strong>Flight;</strong>&nbsp; Self explanatory, but needless to say her wings aren't just for decoration.&nbsp; She's exceptionally dangerous in the air given she's quicker when she's flying, and the pinions on her wings are sharp enough to cause damage to anyone she cuts or pins down with them.<br><strong>Illusion Copies;</strong>&nbsp; She's able to make multiple copies of herself that have all of her abilities but only the real Lilith can do any damage.&nbsp; It helps to confuse and confound her opponents, making it easier to take them down.<br><strong>Soul Suck;</strong>&nbsp; Usually she doesn't use this move only because she doesn't like it oddly enough, but when she's riled up, Lilith's spiritual energy focuses itself into a funnel that when directed at an opponent allows her to absorb most energy blast attacks into her mouth, thus feeding her and weakening any attack that might follow if it is successful.&nbsp; Unfortunately she has to be standing still and a simple hand over her mouth will stop it cold.<br><strong>Arousal Aura and Fog;</strong>&nbsp; Simply being near her for too long tends to make even the most celibate of people unable to focus on anything but the way she seems to fill out her sexy armor, among other things.&nbsp; Not only that but she can generate a thick, dense pink fog that does the same thing only in a wide area.&nbsp; The former takes a lot longer but the fog, unless her opponent(s) prove too strong willed for it, does the job a lot quicker and much more effectively.<br><strong>Aphrodisiac Venom;</strong>&nbsp; When she's particularly hungry or her opponent has proven immune to everything else, Lilith has a potent venom in both her fangs and her whip like tail which doubles as a weapon thanks to the strong, whip like quality it affords her as well as the scorpion like stinger which she can shape change just like the rest of her body.&nbsp; The venom when injected into a living opponent, forces the body to become far more sensitive as well as enriches and forces her opponent's soul energy to the surface for easier feeding.&nbsp; For men however their cum output is also multiplied considerably.&nbsp; Normally a last resort tactic when in a fight, otherwise just for fun and her personal pleasure.<br><br><strong>Team Member</strong>: #3<br><strong>Appearance:</strong> http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/6003/demonwarrior.png (http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/6003/demonwarrior.png)<br><strong>Name:</strong>&nbsp; Tatsuya<br><strong>Brief Bio</strong>: Not much is known of the demon besides his apparent obsession for collecting weapons and his constant striving to become the best.&nbsp; The armor he wears is made of unknown materials, and it appears to control his power. Tatsuya came to the human world shortly after the end of the previous Dark Tournament and began to travel the world to challenge other demons and humans at random intervals during his travels. Tatsuya was a powerful warrior who fought with Senshin in the past and was one of few he allowed to live after defeat. Despite it, he was asked to join team Genkou. He is known to carry weapons such as: The sword of mars, green dragon crescent blade, Thuan Thien, and Gáe Bulg<br><strong>Powers:</strong>[i<br>]Weapon Summoning:[/i]&nbsp; Any weapon owned by Tatsuya has been transported to an extra-dimensional space that is within his sheath.&nbsp; Whenever Tatsuya summons a weapon, the sheath will change its shape respectively to whatever sheath that will hold the respective weapon.&nbsp; However he will need to re-sheath each weapon one-by-one when he is done.<br><em>Enhanced Speed and Strength:</em>&nbsp; While he has not attained the levels of many upper echelon demons, Tatsuya has considerable speed and strength despite wearing armor.<br><em>Expert Weapon Master:</em>&nbsp; Tatsuya is a master of many weapons.&nbsp; Any weapon in his hands can be a deadly weapon, however he mainly uses swords and spears.<br><em>The Weapons of Legacy:</em>&nbsp; Tatsuya possesses several weapons once wielded by great figures in human history.&nbsp; Tatsuya has learned to awaken the powers of each weapon in his possessions to the levels that made the weapons great in the first place.&nbsp; Each weapon has a unique ability but only four weapons are publicly known to be in Tatsuya's hands.<br><br><strong>Team Member:</strong> #4<br><strong>Name:</strong>&nbsp; Nicodemus<br><strong>Appearance:</strong> http://tako.flexnet.pro/sites/default/files/warrior-angel.jpg (http://tako.flexnet.pro/sites/default/files/warrior-angel.jpg)<br><strong>Human/demon:</strong>&nbsp; Bird Demon<br><strong>Age: </strong>150+<br><strong>Brief Bio:</strong>&nbsp; Nicodemus has lived most of his life alone. He was abandoned at an early&nbsp; age.&nbsp; He was forced to fight to survive and get strong to protect what little he had. At an early age he left for the human world to see its sights.&nbsp; Nicodemus quickly fell in love with the sights and beauty of the human world.&nbsp; One thing he noticed quickly was that he&nbsp; resembled&nbsp; one of the myths figures in the angels.&nbsp; To play on this Nicodemus chose to change his name to take better advantage of his appearance. He was recruited for the tournament team by Tatsuya who he had met and come to know during Tatsuya's travels.<br><strong>Abilities:</strong>&nbsp; Nicodemus has full control of lightning and uses it to protect and attack.&nbsp; As a bird demon he has full powers of flight.&nbsp; He can channel lightning through his armor and his body with out having an effect on himself.&nbsp; Nicodemus wields a sword and is a master swordsman. He prefers to channel lightning through his sword for an attack.&nbsp; Nicodemus has the ability to move at incredible speeds on foot and in the air.

				<span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>[TEAM CHU]</strong></span><br><em>Player(s): MzHyde, Anyone</em><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i49.tinypic.com/2jbr3vk.jpg)</div><strong>-Team Captain:</strong>Chu<br><strong>--Gender/Age:</strong>Male/Unknown<br><strong>--Human/Demon:</strong>Demon<br><strong>--Brief Bio:</strong>A wanderer and master of Sui Ken (drunken fighting), Chu spends most of his time in a drunken stupor, hitting on women, or hitting on women while in a drunken stupor. None the less, he is, at his core, a good and honorable man (for as much as a demon can be honorable). He is longtime friends with Rinku and the two of them took part in the previous Dark Tournament where they lost to Team Urameshi. <br><strong>--Appearance:</strong>Chu appears to be a well-built and muscular man with a large blue mohawk. He is very tall, towering over most other contestants in the tourney. He dresses in a black leather jacket, black boots, and green pants. He speaks with an Australian accent.<br><strong>--Abilities:</strong>As a master of Sui Ken, Chu gets stronger the more inebriated he is. His movements become unpredictable and his attacks become hard to dodge. He can even mix alcohol with his demon energy to create strong attacks. His physical strength and endurance is top notch. Chu carries around a flask of Ogre Killer, some of the strongest booze in both the Human and Demon Worlds. Upon drinking it, his strength and ability will skyrocket. His only weakness is women. <br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i46.tinypic.com/j9smdt.jpg)</div><strong>-Member #1:</strong>Rinku<br><strong>--Gender/Age:</strong>Male/Unknown<br><strong>--Human/Demon:</strong>Demon<br><strong>--Brief Bio:</strong>Despite all appearances, Rinku is not a child. At least not in the human sense. He is a very young demon, but in human terms he is more than likely fifty or more years old. Rinku has been friends with Chu ever since the drunken stumbler saved him from a gang of demons a few years back. They've stuck together despite Rinku's childlike behavior and Chu's slurred antics. Both of them were in the previous Dark Tournament and lost to Team Urameshi. Rinku loves to pretend to be weaker than he is to get his opponents to underestimate him. In combat, he is actually quite deadly.<br><strong>--Appearance:</strong>Rinku appears to be a young boy. Very short, with brown hair and eyes. He wears a red and yellow shirt and a puffy red and yellow cap as well as jeans and sneakers. He is never seen without his pouch, which he uses to carry his weapons.<br><strong>--Abilities:</strong>Serpent Yo-yo. Rinku carries a number of small yo-yo's which he can wield, four in each hand, and channel his demon energy through. This allows them not only to have enough force to slice flesh and smash rock, but to also go in any direction he chooses. The strings and stretch, turn, and bend in unpredictable ways, allowing him to compensate for his lack of melee fighting ability with powerful ranged offense. <br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i49.tinypic.com/xgegso.jpg)</div><strong>-Member #2:</strong>Kokou<br><strong>--Gender/Age:</strong>Female/1000+<br><strong>--Human/Demon:</strong>Demon<br><strong>--Brief Bio:</strong>Wife on Enki, the peevish and consistently inebriated Kokou has a violent and competetive spirit. Once, she was close friends (and perhaps lover) to one of the strongest demons in all of Demon World - Raizen. Now she is together with Enki (somehow) and her fighting spirit has never been stronger. Her drunken nature caught Chu's eye and she was invited to join his team, which she did after much pressuring from Enki. <br><strong>--Appearance:</strong>Like most high class demons, she appears human. She takes the form of a very buxom woman with green hair and golden eyes. She wears a deep purple leotard with long gloves that go up past her elbows, and an orange sash around her waist. She smells like booze from constant drinking. <br><strong>--Abilities:</strong>While not adept at Sui Ken like Chu is, being drunk doesn't seem to inhibit her fighting any. Kokou is incredibly strong and fast, and can channel red and white energy blasts through her hands. Her rapid, violent, and constant attacking style allows her to overwhelm single opponents or fight multiple opponents with ease. <br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i45.tinypic.com/fla550.jpg)</div><strong>-Member #3:</strong>Enki<br><strong>--Gender/Age:</strong>Male/1000+<br><strong>--Human/Demon:</strong>Demon<br><strong>--Brief Bio:</strong>The husband of Kokou (though sometimes people joke that he's the wife), Enki is a surprisingly gentle and kind-hearted demon. Along with Kokou, he was once friends with Raizen, one of the lords of Demon World. He chose to join Chu's team because he hoped that if his wife had someone to drink with, maybe she would stop hitting him so much. He also feels the practice fighting will be good for them, and is eager to get back into the fighting spirit. Enki may appear foolish, but is much smarter than he looks.<br><strong>--Appearance:</strong>Enki is absolutely massive, without a doubt the largest demon participating in the tourney. He stands at ten feet tall and is built like a brick wall, wide and muscular and imposing. All this is offset, however, by his pleasant smile and amiable nature. He has deep red skin and brown hair. Enki dresses in a white tank top and blue pants. <br><strong>--Abilities:</strong>Enki's strength and endurance are almost unrivaled, even in Demon World. His attacks may be comparatively slow, but every blow can utterly destroy lesser demons on contact. Enki's only real weakness seems to be his wife. <br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i45.tinypic.com/eslp2u.png)</div><strong>-Member #4:</strong>Souketsu<br><strong>--Gender/Age:</strong>Male/1000+<br><strong>--Human/Demon:</strong>Demon<br><strong>--Brief Bio:</strong>Another one of Raizen's old friends, though thankfully he manages to avoid most of Kokou's wrath. She concentrates her abuse mostly on Enki. Souketsu loves combat and, perhaps even more, loves trash talking. He can come off as over-confident, but that confidence is earned with his incredible fighting skill. Despite his brash nature he can see the strength in others and admires strong fighters. Souketsu is lifelong friends with Enki and Kokou and so he goes where they do.<br><strong>--Appearance:</strong>Human-like with blonde hair and two long, downward-pointing horns. He dresses in light blue shirts and pants, a purple beret, and dark blue pants. He has some more demon-like qualities about him; those horns, pointed ears, and clawed hands and feet as well as a serpentine tail.<br><strong>--Abilities:</strong>Speed is Souketsu's main asset. Not only can he travel impossibly fast, but he can also use his demon energy to levitate himself off the ground for extended periods of time. He likes to strike from surprising angles to keep his opponents off-balance. His claws can slash through the toughest armor like butter and even his tail can strike with force enough to shatter rock.

Masho were ninja, a group of professional assassins that originated in Demon World. They fought hard for their wish; a place to call home in the Human World. Ultimately, they were defeated, but Toya managed to gain respect for Team Urameshi. He has since continued training to restore honor to his sect and is taking the new Dark Tournament as a chance to restore their good name.&nbsp; He is in control of this new sect and has been training several new members.<br><strong>--Appearance:</strong>Toya appears as a young man, short in stature, with slicked back blue hair (save for the odd green stands hanging in his face) and blue eyes. He dresses in blue and white clothing adorned with lavender-colored gems. <br><strong>--Abilities:</strong>Complete control over ice. Toya often begins with freezing the ground solid and chilling the air all around him, making conditions miserable for his opponent. One of his signature attacks is 'Shards of Winter', in which he uses his demon energy to freeze the very air and blow razor-sharp slivers of ice at his opponent. Toya is a very calculating and intelligent opponent whom rarely toys with his prey. <br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i45.tinypic.com/30hx73d.jpg)</div><strong>-Member #1:</strong>Jin<br><strong>--Gender/Age:</strong>Male/Unknown<br><strong>--Human/Demon:</strong>Demon<br><strong>--Brief Bio:</strong>Jin, master of wind, the second in command of the newly formed Shinobi. Jin is an easy-going demon whom enjoys equally a good fight and a lazy afternoon. Much like the wind, Jin seems to go where he wants and does what he wants to. He comes off as rather careless, but in actuality, is one of the more powerful fighters in Demon World. Like Toya, Jin is one of the surviving member of the old Team Masho. He fights again, not for honor, but for another chance at a life in the Human World. He is tired of the dark and dreary surroundings of Demon World and longs for a place in the Human World where the skies are clear and the air is sweet. <br><strong>--Appearance:</strong>Jin is a young, human-like man with pointy ears, pronounced canine teeth, and a single horn growing from the middle of his forehead. He has fiery red hair that falls to his lower back. Jin's athletic physique is often shown off thanks to his loose-fitting white clothing. <br><strong>--Abilities:</strong>Jin has an astounding command of wind. Not only is he impossibly fast, but he can fly with ease. He often uses this to keep himself out of reach of his opponents attacks, or use hit and run strategies. He can&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;create a wall of wind around himself, or even wreathe his fists in miniature tornadoes, giving him incredible striking power. <br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i46.tinypic.com/34i62ph.png)</div>The remaining three members of Team Shinobi are shrouded in absolute mystery. Only the ruling committee knows their actual identities and abilities. All that is known about them is that they are Toya's apprentices and he has been training them dilligently, exclusively for this tournament since it's announcement. If they are Shinobi, however, they are assured to be absolutely deadly. Team Shinobi Sect will no doubt make another grand entrance disguised in their hooded robes, much like they did when they were Team Masho. So the identities of these tree remaining members will be shrouded in mystery until their first battle. It will no doubt get the fans pumped and the bets flying like crazy!
