Our story begins in a city called Exodus. The core of it's buildings were built on the concept of safety. The safety of any, and all, creatures who would decide to live there. Or at least, that is what those brightly colored little brochures say. This city has been taken into a strangle hold by a "medical research" company that simply goes by Ecks Corp. While it's facade is shiny and new, it would be honest to say that it's tallest buildings have an intimate affair with the clouds, and it's slums walk hand in hand with drugs and death. While the city itself tries to function without Ecks Corp, there is no doubt that the company keeps the city on it's feet, by whatever means it wishes.

Ecks Corp itself, the main catalyst of our story, functions under the
facade of a medical research company. Behind the scenes is where anything
important happens. Once they have "hired" some of the worlds best
researchers they will put them on small, seemingly meaningless assignments
until a breakthrough is found. In the restricted testing areas, however,
Ecks Corp does not test on animals, but humans or any human like creature
they can manage to capture, or trick into agreeing. These experiments hold
only one purpose: To become the perfect weapon. A living, breathing,
thinking weapon. Ecks Corp is beginning to exhaust it's options within the
city, so our beloved CEO, a Mr. Vladimir Warren, has decided to track down
several other people and creatures from all over this world, and other
worlds if need be, and force them to eliminate each other in one way or
another to prove who is most worthy of becoming the next weapon. With luck,
this person will not become a pawn, or at least not one of the ones sitting
in rows of cages, howling in pain or insanity all hours of the night and day.

And now, for some real information:
There are four main areas in which the battles can be held, and one for
the final rounds. I will be accepting only 32 entrants. There will be eight
judges. Judges are require to create one NPC from one of the following types.
Ecks Corp executive, City Official, Experiment, or some closely connected to
an Experiment.

Ecks Corp executives have full knowledge of the goings on of the company.
It's experiments, it's plans, and what Mr. Warren wants out of this
tournament. However, no one but Mr. Warren himself know whether he wants
this weapon to sell to another country, or to use it himself in an attempt
at world domination. Most execs are normal humans, or people with minor
powers that are kept a close secret. Either way, all Ecks Corp executives
are corrupt.

City Officials can go one of three ways. Some are completely oblivious to
the workings of Ecks Corp, and in most cases would not approve. This is
the exact reason they are kept in the dark about the plans, they are
usually good at the people and calming the inhabitants when something
bad happens. Other City Officials are partially, or fully, aware of what
is going on right under their noses but look the other way. This is usually
because they don't care, are being bribed to do so, or simply cherish their
lives enough to do so. Lastly there are City Officials who are fully aware
of the happenings and do not only approve of them, but help in any way they
can. This last type of City Official is just as corrupt as the exces.

Experiments are exactly what they sound like. They are former or current
Ecks Corp attempts at making weapons. At least, the ones who still function
mentally as human. These people have had terrible things done to them,
though their personalities do not always reflect this. Some have been
stripped of their memories before the experiments, and some have not.
All experiments are known as code names, names given to them by Ecks Corp.
These are always the names of illnesses or chemicals that can be used in
biological or herbilogical warfare depending on either their personality,
the powers that have been given to them, or what has been done to them.
There are three types of experiments bases. The first are as corrupt as the
execs, working willingly for Ecks Corp, usually for personal reasons, the
main being resentful of people who have not had these things done to them.
The second are neutral to the workings of Ecks Corp, not caring one way or
the other. The third, while still working for Ecks Corp are trying to hinder
the plans secretly. All experiments still work for the company.

People closely connected to an Experiment are just how they sound, as well.
They can be any sort of human or creature, with any variety of powers,
however you cannot just BS and say they are connected to a random Experiment,
they must be friends/lovers/related to one of the other NPCs, or you must
create an Experiment NPC to go with them. These NPCs will obviously know
Ecks Corp's plans to some extent, and their feelings can vary on them as
much as any other NPC, but usually they mirror the feelings of the
Experiment they are connected to.
