Sanctum

Inspired by Type Moon's "Fate" series
Sanctum is where all Mana originates. Mana is raw power that can
be manipulated in an art known as Magecraft. All mages have a
small amount of Mana that is supplied by Sanctum. However, there
exists a key... an artifact that has the power to open the gates
to Sanctum for the use of one person, and one person only. And
when that person eventually meets his or her demise, the key is
sealed away and a great battle emerges – a war between those who
all seek the Key to Sanctum.
A lucky few will receive, one way or another, the means to
summon a Heroic Spirit – an incarnation of an ancient hero to
fight alongside them. A small supply of Mana is required to
sustain this spirit's physical form, but it is well worth it –
Heroic Spirits contain incredible power. Day is a time of rest,
and Night is a time of chaos. The winner will receive the
Sanctum Key, which will grant them unlimited power until their
time is up in this world.
Thus the Sanctum War begins, a battle royale between determined
mages and the spirits that fight alongside them.
The Competition
This CST is a competition among writers. Each participant
creates a mage character to participate in the Sanctum War. At
the end of the first day, each mage summons a heroic spirit and
the war begins. Widm, the game master, will create all of the
Heroic Spirit characters, and assign them to the participants.
Every night cycle, all mages along with their spirits (and by
extension, all participants) will engage in a battle against
each other. First, you engage with another mage within the
story. Submit to Widm your version of the battle. Be sure to be
very detailed and write the best story you can. When you are
finished, He will judge the battle and determine the winner,
which will be considered CANON and posted in the main thread.
Once all mages have participated and all writers have finished,
Widm will complete the Night Cycle. Among the losing writers,
Widm will decide the one that performed the worst. This writer
is eliminated from the competition. Soon after in the story the
eliminated writer must make a final post for their mage's death
or surrender from the competition. After all of this, the
remaining participants post for the daytime for things such as
your mage's preparation for the next night. Your collective
story among your day and night posts will have an impact on your
survival. After the day post, the cycle continues and night
falls again, ensuing in another battle. In the event of a night
in which there are an odd number of participants, the
participant from the previous night whom Widm has determined to
have the best battle will receive immunity and not have to
partake in a battle. This Day-Night cycle continues until there
are only two remaining... and the showdown ensues.
May the best writer win.
The Competitors
Zen – Alexis Diana Conzette – 5:0 – Victorious
Nitrox1515 – Zain Krauss – 4:0 – Defeated
IaashadowGG – Madame Maxine Harkess Cline – 1:2 – Surrendered
M1555 – David Arnold Schindler – 1:3 – Surrendered

[center]Sign-Ups
Sign ups are open! Spend some time creating your character,
their surface qualities as well as their deepest secrets. In
your public sign up form, only display what would be public
information. Limit how much you tell in your initial sign up.
Your REAL sign up form will be submitted directly to Widm (The
Octahedral Box), containing more information: Tier 1 info, and
Tier 2 info. Tier 1 is what you are okay with being revealed in
story on your first night, and Tier 2 is the more hidden
information on your character. In your first fight, your Tier 1
info is given to your opponent, and vice versa. In round 2 and
subsequent rounds, Widm will disclose all of your information,
Tier 1 and 2, to each of your opponents as your battles arise.
The key is using the information given to you about your
opponent, and study them by reading their daytime posts and
examining their past battles to make an accurate fight.
Tier 1 info generally refers to speech patterns and a basic idea
of what your mage and spirit can do in combat. Please provide
enough information for your potential rival to make an accurate
fight. Likewise, don't take too much from your tier 2 info when
your opponent doesn't have access to it.
Tier 2 info is a more detailed description of your character.
Back stories, plans and hidden powers all come into play here.
Everything you need to know about your character is ultimately
revealed in Tier 2. Please, for the sake of the story, don't
completely spill all of your enemy's secrets right off the bat
in your posts.
At the start of the competition, two people will know everything
about your character: Yourself, and Widm, who possesses your
full character form. Everyone else initially only has access to
your public profile, which is posted here as a way to sign up.
As the story progresses, you can learn more about your opponents
by reading their posts and taking the hints! [/center]
Public Profile (Post in this thread):
Full name:
Nickname: (The name your character goes by)
Appearance: (Height, race, eye color, and all of that. You may
enclose a sketch.)
Other: (All details that you want to make public for all
spectators and participants at the beginning.)
Full Profile (Submit this to Widm):
Tier 1 Information
Tier 2 Information
Other important information
For all other information you shall specify in your first few
posts, which tell your back story (or, at least, what you chose
to reveal) and eventually lead to your mage summoning your
heroic spirit, which will be assigned to you by Widm. You may
make a couple of posts after this, but soon night will fall and
the first battle will begin.
[Important note: Entirely comedic characters are banned. Humor
as a basis puts you at an unfair advantage.]
Disclaimer: This is a competition. There are no retcons. There
are no takebacks, and you may not question the game master,
Widm. If you lose early on, don't complain- it is your choice to
partake in this competition! That being said, BEGIN!

Full name: Zain Krauss
Nickname: Krauss
Appearance: Krauss is on the younger side of middle-aged and
appears little bit past his prime. His hair is light gray, and
he has a thin beard. He dresses in formal clothing altered to
be better suited for fighting (no loose ends getting in the way,
allows for full mobility), with a black jacket, a light blue
inner shirt, and black pants. He wears two golden bracelets on
each arm.

Other: Krauss is unmarried and a member of a relatively
well-known and rich (not famous, exactly, but at the bottom of
the higher social circles) family. His brother, as the
firstborn, is entitled to a larger portion of the estate, but
Krauss himself is still by no means poor. He himself is rather
reclusive and lives alone, hardly ever appearing for social
events. His family is known to specialize in forcefield
manipulation.

Full name: David Arnold Schindler
Nickname: David/Dave
Appearance: 35. A tall, athletic, powerful man; David is pale by
birth yet tanned by time spent out in the sun. He sports some
rather impressive stubble despite his baldness, and is usually
wearing a heavy jacket and a glare. His four combat outfits are
forest camouflage, desert camouflage, urban camouflage, and
winter camouflage respectively.
Other: One of the youngest officers in magus military history,
David achieved the rank in only his late teen years. There was
some talk of his possible future promotion to general when he
was only in his twenties. Alas, it was not to be, and David
retired at age 28. Since then, he has worked as an elite tutor
and mentor for young and powerful magi. He is selective about
who he teaches, harsh in his methods, and he enforces strict
discipline, but besides that little is known. His, results,
however, are consistently remarkable. Many spectators are
interested to see just what the powerful
commando-turned-mentor-turned-contestant can really do.

Not for a few days. Widm has to make the Heroic spirits and we'd
like 8 participants.

Full name: Madame Maxine Harkess Cline
Nickname: Madame
Age: 37
Other: Madame is the headmaster of the Prestigious Teyan
Academy. The origins of her positions remain unclear but many
students speculate it comes from her iron will and magic
prowess. Her entry into the competition was a sudden surprise,
her name simply marked as Ms. Cline on the list. While not
training her magic, Madame teaches Algebra at the academy.
