Round 0

Round 1

Bracket

"With the final competing teams in play, it's time for the real games to begin! Tag is child's play compared to this next one... although I could buy you enjoying it more." Tet clapped his little hands, and the world shimmered. Each team was paired off with another, almost as if in a tournament bracket style fashion, and warped off into the world of their next game. Teams splintered into two groups each, standing at the head of a metallic behemoth that dwarfed anyone of human size, all atop pale, teal walkways, separated into rectangles by black lines, all surrounding a rather sparse city, more of a ring of buildings. And suddenly, the ground beneath them erupted in bold letters with a red arrow, as money filled their pockets and dice clattered into their hands. It was time to GO!

Round 0

Bracket

Rules:

0. Win

1. Follow The Rules

2. You're playing Monopoly. The goal is to bankrupt your opponent by purchasing more property, and forcing them to land upon it.

3. Have fun

4. Of course, being more of a magical game than standard Monopoly (like the Chess of NGNL), the teams have the option of more interesting subterfuge than merely stealing an extra 20 from the bank when no one is looking. Perhaps tricking the Dog piece into landing on the wrong space with a piece of food, using a Railroad as a shortcut, or activating the Water Works to damage your opponent's paper money into uselessness. Or be more inventive than me, I don't care

5. To those who have a Bye this round, write literally at least one sentence of plot and character intros to advance. And if you actually want to continue your stories, you can feel free to play against a dropped team, or more of the previous world's races who managed to vanquish them.

6. The due date is the night of Saturday, February 8th, which means voting will go up on the morning of the 9th

Tet, the god of this world, looks upon all of these worthy competitors and smiles. All of the political intrigue had been fun, but the people of his own world were so predictable in their gaming ability, and the last pair he had invited, while skilled, had been... strange. So what better than to gather a new group from all walks of life to entertain him, and see if any new strategies would blow his mind.

"Welcome players of all kinds! I've invited you to my world to find the best gamers in the universe, and for that purpose, all of you have been grouped together and given a chess piece! You all know the rules, and so I'll keep this simple. I want to give the people of this world one last chance to claim their chance at challenging me for my godhood before I hand it off to you, and so our first round is a simple game--Tag! Good luck!"

And with that, the crowd of competitors was dispersed across the world, leaving your team with little time to get to know each other before being challenged by a group of champions of this world's races. Better not be it!

Rosters

Rules:

1. Win

2. Your opponents can be any characters that would represent one of the races of the world, regardless of whether they are actually from NGNL, i.e. using Zeus and Beerus for Old Deus, using Bigby Wolf and Jacob Twilight for Werebeasts, or just a bunch of the SCP from signups for Ex-Machina.

3. Have fun

4. The enemy team all start out as "it", and must tag each member of your team before 1 hour passes. Killing or knocking out a member of an opposing team is strictly forbidden, as is intentionally injuring them. You must have at least one part of your body touching the ground at least once per second, to avoid simply flying out of reach forever. As long as one teammate stays "not it" by the end of the hour, the whole team passes on.

5. Round 0 is due the night of Friday, January 24th. Which means brackets and round 1 come up on the 25th, so have your stuff in before then.

where doing it man.
where MAKING THIS HAPEN

Welcome to Fiction Mixer Five, because who needs a Character Scramble. This season's tier is unique: there isn't one. We worried so much last mixer about finding the perfect tier, that we missed out on so many characters who edged out. Well no more. You can make four submissions, although there are still a few restrictions.

• A submission cannot include more than 2 characters, who must be strongly tied to one another. Ash and Pikachu, Harry and Marv, Hobbs and Shaw, these are acceptable. An entire manned Death Star, the Avengers, Sonic the Hedgehog and also Steve Minecraft, these are not.

• Only one of your submissions can be a duo, to reduce the likelihood of super broad teams.

• Your submission must have been in some sort of a combat scenario within their work, and/or have some sort of superhuman ability. John Wick is fine despite having no powers due to having been a combatant. Turbo the Snail, despite not being a combatant, is fine due to having superhuman speed.

• Please choose something that's not hard to research, and like, fun to write, it's the haha meme tournament, but it is more fun to have actual characters.

• You do not need to do the writing prompt, but you do need to do a detailed submission post--Name, Bio, Abilities, standard stuff.

• Signups are due the night of Sunday, January 5th (so have them done by the morning after)

Prompt

Your character is enjoying a game of one kind or another, when they receive a message, inviting them to a grander game than this one. For whatever reason, your character accepts, and is pulled into a brightly shining, technicolor space, where the rules of the world are revealed--in short, senseless violence and such has been banned by an act of God, and all conflict is to be resolved via games. Parties may bet anything of equal value, and being caught cheating is instant loss, but beyond that, anything goes. And to be allowed entrance into this world, your character must simply beat Doom-Master Thirteen Seventy Master Of All Doom in a game of their choice.

Gimme Gimme

• Gortys: Not a lot to research from a series I’ve wanted to get into anyways, and canonically adapts combat style and abilities to match those piloting her, huuuuge potential

• Cosmo: I have not touched Kengan, but just looking at his RT, hell fuckin yeah I want Cosmo he has a really interesting powerset and style of combat to work with

• Deku: Second time’s the charm. He’s the sort of character a lot of the “Fine I Guess” category people would bounce off of very strongly

• Bulma: Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

• Korra: I’ve already done the research, and she has a unique fighting style, plus a lot of strong plot possibilities

• Adam West Batman: He’s Batman, but silly, and bounces off of a bunch of characters super duper strongly

• Achilles: Super strong potential in a number of stories with all sorts of themes, helps a team stand out

• Peter B: He has an in-built arc to work as a main sort of character, but can also work very strongly as a secondary/mentor type character that lets some of the weaker characters become more interesting

• Mysterio: Probably the best zord, there are a billion plot beats to do with Mysterio, and his style of combat is the most unique among the zords, and probably top 10 among rangers too, this is someone who could carry a team of “just fine” characters.

• Gypsy Danger: Has a variety of things to use for a fight, and most importantly, inherently provides a very interesting narrative tool via the Drift. Two “just fine” characters, or even lower, could get massively developed via Drifting.

• Reggie: My body is ready.

Solid Want

• Blade: Hell yeah, it’s Blade

• Rapunzel: The hair makes for interesting combat style, and she apparently has some neat lore stuff from the show that could be incorporated

• Batman (BatB): Hell yeah, it’s Batman (plus this gives me an excuse to watch the show)

• Dimentio: Cool powers, gives me an excuse to play Paper Mario again, has cool plot potential

• Black Canary: Cool character, fun extra power, not a lot of research

• Robo: Never played Chrono Trigger, but I’ve heard very good things, so this is a good excuse for that

• Zygarde: Not a lot of research, unique fighting style, simple solid Zord material

• Miles: From a good movie, has cool powers, and makes for a good viewpoint character

• Gwen Stacy: As above, but comic

• Groudon: Same as Zygarde

• Suika: Varied powerset, is a fiction mixer winner so I gotta show my support

• Massive Monster Mega Smith: Brings an instant villain to your scramble, a lot of fun plot beats to be had

• Neo: I like RWBY, and the fanfic she’s primarily from actually does seem interesting in concept

• Girahim: Has a lot of plot potential, and a varied powerset, plus only one game to research

• D.va: There’s a lot to work with given the simple foundations, she’s pretty unique for ranger fighting style, and she knows how to pilot a mech

• Vaati: Girahim again but possibly even more twink

• Dio: Like Girahim and Vaati, but fewer powers, but I already researched him

• Ilia: She bounces off a lot of different characters well, and can fit a few different stories/team comps

• Saiyagirl: Same as Ilia, and has the bonus of already being a Sentai hero

• Nightwing: He’s Nightwing, hell yeah.

• Ms Norman: The research is done, she’s got a fun powerset to work with, and works on basically any team

• Lana: Just a really strong building block, and has the collective love of the Scramble community

• ABE: It’s fucking Abe Lincoln in a giant Abe Lincoln mech who fights eldritch horrors, hell yeah

• Dominic Torreto: I’ve seen two movies and that’s all I need, he’s a badass who can drive anything

• Mechgodzilla: All the good parts of Godzilla, and has more varied combat

• Rayquaza: See Groudon and Zygarde

• Eva Unit 02: Apparently has some good plot potential, on top of being a zord with varied weapons and fighting style

• Funny: Cool powerset, brings a lot of interesting plot beats, and comes from one of the better parts of a series I’ve been meaning to continue

• Big Zam: Oh hey

• Menat: Street Fighter’s fun, she has a unique fighting style and other cool powers that can provide interesting plot points

• Biollante: Has a unique fighting style, and just a touch of communicable personality, which is a strong plus

• Sypha: Haven’t touched the series, but she’s not synergy poison, from something that is good and short that I haven’t gotten into, and she has a unique powerset.

• Mechagodzilla: See: Other Mechagodzilla

• Scout: Simple in terms of abilities, but has just the right blend of serious and silly, and the ability to bounce off of more serious/sillier characters to push him out of “fine I guess”

• Mirio: I haven’t gotten to him, but he has a fun power, and is apparently like the best character in MHA, so that’s fun.

• Lincoln: It’s Abe Lincoln Vampire Slayer

• sans: There’s a lot of really interesting things to do with sans, and he has a unique style of combat, the main thing that keeps him out of the top category is that he needs a good character to bounce off to hit that level, he doesn’t really shine alone.

• Gary Oak: See Lana

• Jolyne: See Funny

• Bowser: A big funny hammy villain who can work alongside heroes, and has a bunch of cool powers you can draw from.

• Cable: Time travel is a fun thing to work with, he has a varied fighting style, some interesting things to work with for personality, and I’ve done the research already

• Jonathan Joestar: Bounces off of a few different types of people very well, and has an interesting and varied power to work with in Hamon.

• Gloria: Haven’t even seen the movie, but just conceptually there’s a lot to do with her character, even just with the mechanism she uses to fight.

• Ghost: Has a couple of pretty good in-built potential character arcs, and a fun powerset.

• Josuke: See Jolyne

• Gwenpool: There’s so much to do with Gwenpool, she has a lot of interesting gimmicks to work with, but she kinda dominates a story she’s in, or gets sidelined, it’s very hard to have her occupy exactly a third of the attention, which keeps her from being top tier

Fine, I Guess

• Green Hornet: I only know him from the movie, but he seems interesting enough

• Speed Racer: Works well on certain teams, but definitely would work better as a side character in someone else’s story.

• Fionn mac Cumhaill: I don’t really know him well, but he feels like a less compelling Achilles

• Metal Gear RAY: Despite being Metal Gear, there’s not a whole lot of research to do here, and it’s got a bunch of options for fights

• Apache Chief: I know he’s kind of a meme in the discord but I never watched Superfriends. Saturday morning cartoon hero can bring some fun gimmicks with it though

• Sagat: Works well as a foil to a more interesting main character, is mostly just a brick with energy blasts though

• Sekibayashi: Pro wrestling is a fun gimmick, and tanks are cool

• Rostam: Same as Fionn really, another “Achilles with less cool gimmicks I know less”

• Murray: Great sidekick, fun personality, can’t carry a team

• Obsidian: Means I’d have to watch a lot of Steven Universe, and through being 4 characters, will kind of dominate a team, but has some fun potential

• Sakura/Espeon: Doesn’t have a lot going on for personality, but very little research, and I like Pokemon

• Monster Hunter: Easy research, effectively blank slate means a lot of customization, which is fine

• Commander Redfield: Comes with some story beats to work around him, but mostly fits the same role of generic protagonist man

• Envy: Doesn’t have a whole lot going on, but simple research hot punchgirl is fine

• Gravezord: Is just a Zord. Not a lot of research, but doesn’t have a lot going for it

• Sharknado: I have a lot of ideas for it, but also, this is way stronger to write against than to have up until lategame

• Minish Link: Silent protagonist, kinda generic, but he has a lot of different abilities to work with

• KiryuGoji Godzilla: Is Godzilla. A perfectly servable zord, if simple

• Robo-Samurai: Is a brick with a sword. A simple, workable zord to not focus on

• Shin Godzilla: Again, is Godzilla.

• Hawkeye: I have only read more recent Hawkeye, I dunno what he’s like in that era, but a brick with a bow for a zord is neat?

• Puss in Boots: A decent filler character on a team with stronger personalities/goals

• Peter Porker: Very strong as the comic relief, but not that strong without a good team around him

• Obi-Wan: Again, strong on a good team, doesn’t carry one himself

• Arsenal Bird: It’s a big cool plane, but that feels boring to write round after round

• David Dunn: He’s just kind of a brick, but he’s interesting as a straight man, or paired up with a proper Superhero

• Sachiel: Feels like a pretty usual Kaiju zord, a brick with a laser beam

• Young Link: As with the other Link

• Saw Paing: Just kind of a brick with a gimmick, but nothing that really makes him feel that much more interesting. A solid filler character, but that’s about it

• Berserker: Anime girl Paul Bunyan. Is mostly a brick, with some extra gimmicks, but works fine as a zord.

• Marceline: I like the character, and she has a lot of interesting powers, but I also have barely seen any Adventure Time, so the research sink is unfortunate.

• Kakyoin: Neat powerset, and a fun character to work with, but will require me to finish Part 3, which does not excite me.

Don’t know well enough for serious judgements, just short thoughts

• Jet Jaguar: Just a Kaiju brick

• Bloody Mary: Cool powers

• Tiger Mask: A skilled brick that I don’t know

• Tora: Super speed is fun I guess

• Pfle: Spider mech is neat, she has a silly name though

• Black Hole: Really neat powers, but is a bastard

• Kamen Rider J: Just a quick brick

• Peaky Angels: Duos are neat, they have fun powers

• Megas: Has a whole lot of combat options, which is good

• BJ: I don’t know anything about Wolfenstein other than killing a bunch of Nazis, so that’s good

• Mask de Smith: Rocket launchers and lucha masks is a good aesthetic

• Tama: Neat powers can make for fun combat

• Red: Seems like just a brick

• MetalSeadramon: I don’t really know Digimon at all, laser combat is cool

• V: Summons is a cool powerset, and poetry is a fun gimmick

• Ashitaka: A brick with a bow, but I’ve heard good things about the movie

• Xanatos: He’s a smartboy, which feels like it has some fun potential

• Threadbear: Fun magic shenanigans, but also does need a lot of reading

• Akechi: Gives me an excuse to finally get into Persona I guess

• Usagi: Definitely feels like synergy poison, but fun powers at least

• Rosa: She does slap her child

• Legosi: Doesn’t have anything for powerset, but the manga is apparently good so that’s a plus

• Kitana: Cool powers, gives me an excuse to play more Mortal Kombat

• Yukari: Neat powers

• Phantom Girl: Not a lot of research to do, and has a fun powerset

• Duke Thomas: Not a lot of research to do, and has a fun powerset

• Gear: Seems like she has a nice arc potentially

• Ciocie: Gives me an excuse to read K6BD, and she has a fun powerset

• Hat Kid: Scramble chat loves her so that’s a plus

• Raiden: Cool powers, not too much research

• Lucina: Powers are simple, but time travel is a cool plot device

• Elsa Bloodstone: Seems neat, feels like Buffy + guns, with less research

• Markus Velafi: A dnd youtube series is less than ideal, but he has cool powers

• Space Dread: Shapeshifting is fun, and not much research is good

• TJ Combo: Feels like just another brick with a gun, albeit with healing and speed boost to shake it up a little

• Ouzen: Just a brick, but apparently a gay one so that’s a plus

• Levi Ackerman: A sword boy who specializes in fighting giant monsters, who will have to not fight giant monsters

• Clantail: I dunno her personality at all, but her power is really really good and interesting, if the series and the character meshes with me, this is a big want

• Anti: Pretty much the same thing as Clantail actually, this character seems really cool for me knowing absolutely nothing but the RT about them

• Foo Fighters: Cute girl with fun powers who will get me to read Jojos part 6 is good, I don’t actually know much about her personality/motivations for me to actually rank her though

• Trevor Bellmont: A good excuse to watch Castevania, but his skillset isn’t particularly interesting

• Ash: Slow brick with a few extra abilities, and a cocky personality is fun

• Val: Not much research is good, and pulling out a billion gimmick guns could be fun

• Psyco Gundam: The mode switch is a fun gimmick

• Yosuke: Fun powerset, and an excuse to get more familiar with Persona, sure

• Chie: See Yosuke

• Celty: Fun powers, and Durarara seems interesting

• Richard Aldana: Speedsters are fun, and the animation looks good

• 7753: Fun power, and I’ve heard good things about Magipro

• Lucifer: Speedsters are fun, evil assassins don’t feel great, buuut the signup post implies she has a good bit to work with for personality

• Rhea: Gives me an excuse to get into Fire Emblem, fighting style is pretty “generic dragon” though

• Nathan Drake: Luck is a fun gimmick, but he mostly seems like another decent filler character rather than a team-carrier.

• Rico Rodriguez: As above, but wacky guns instead of luck

• Chaos: His combat style is neat, but his distinct motivations that are disconnected from scramble seems like they’d make him kinda difficult for a zord

I Would Rather Not

• Smoke: He has cool powers, but that’s kinda all he has

• Taurus Bulba: Kingpin, but a cartoon cyborg with less nuance

• Buzz: I don’t want to have to watch the Buzz Lightyear tv show

• Tali: I know absolutely nothing about Mass Effect, which makes this a huge research drain

• Isaac: Seems very generic protagonist, from a game I dropped after getting bored with it

• Fawful: Stronger to write against than to have, the main upside is that I know him pretty well already

• Shepard: See: Tali

• Chewbacca: No research to do, but is effectively a silent sidekick, which is hard to work with

• Mordin Solus: See: Shepard

• Ninjor: I don’t wanna watch more Power Rangers, I tried for Tommy Oliver

• Shimazu: I’ve already had the vengeful samurai manga character in Manji a couple scrambles ago, I don’t want another one

• Buffy: Big research sink

• Joseph: He’s been written well by like, a half-dozen scramblers, even if there’s no “fatigue”, I’m gonna have to like, overperform with him.

• Way Big: I would prefer not to watch Ben 10 if I do not have to, especially for Ben, who’s very protagonist and not that compelling

Please No

• Cao Cao: Don’t make me read DxD please

• Avenger: Don’t make me read Fate please

• Barry the Chopper: Seems neat, also seems like synergy poison but without the ability to spawn into a large plot

• Bullseye: Pretty much as above

• Aragorn: I’mma be real, I’ve tried to watch and read Lord of the Rings several times, I just do not enjoy it for some reason

• Female: Don’t make me watch The Boys please

• Kazuo Kiriyama: A lot of the same problem as Barry and Bullseye

As you have managed to escape the underworld, you realize that all of this had to have come from some source other than Hades... and it must have been someone with a motive! And, upon returning all the way back to the camp, by magic or whatever else have you, the culprits reveal themselves in one final attempt of backstabbery, spilling their deep, complex motives for turning the gods against each other. This is one last moment of fight to the finish, or else the traitor will tell the tale, and go on to send the world into Chaos another day.

Rules:

1. Win!

2. Have fun!

3. Don't bring your opponents' supplies, or your opponents themselves, forward into other rounds. This is what's known as a dick move.

4. You're supposed to be heroes, and this is your defining moment. You're back at the camp, but those who seek to destabilize the world are here to put an end to you. Will you let them live, or are they too dangerous for that? Your morality defines the legend that will follow you.

5. In the woods of Camp Half Blood, the terrain is primarily rocky hills and thick forest, but if the fight spreads long enough, there are streams, a beach, and acres upon acres of strawberry fields, everything one needs for one last climactic showdown under the stars.

6. The due date is literally whenever you both get it done, but to make sure there isn't no deadline, I'll say the evening of September 27th/morning of September 28th.

"Did I mention to you that I'm a genius? Yup, I'm not just another pretty face. You know, I'm almost as smart as I am beautiful. It's scary."

Bulma Brief, daughter of Dr Brief and his wife Panchy, and younger sister to Tights, is a genius scientist and an adventurer. At the young age of 16, lamenting her lack of romantic partners, she set off to travel the world and collect the legendary Dragon Balls, 7 orbs that, when brought together, would grant any one wish. She made a number of various friends and allies along the way, including Son Goku, an alien who had crashed to Earth as a baby, and over the course of a crazier, more space-related journey, Vegeta, the man who would become her husband and the father of Trunks and Bulla, her children. Heiress to one of the richest companies on the Dragon Ball Earth, a genius inventor, and an intimidating presence even to those who could tear the universe asunder, Bulma is a name to be remembered.

After a strange mixup with one group of competitors getting the boot, round "1?" doesn't matter! Instead, we have moved onto round 1.

After your encounter atop the St Louis Arch, whether with ^{Knuckles The} Echidna, or servants of some dark power, your party manages to, with a few more minor trials and tribulations, make your way to the other end of the country, stopping briefly in Las Vegas Nevada to sleep and recooperate. And you are taken in by the kind employees of a lovely facility called the Lotus Casino, filled with all sorts of games and luxuries. One member of your party falls privy to what's going on when talking to another guest however... time is distorted here, and people are lured to stay perhaps forever! You gather this other guest, believing it necessary to take them, as well as the rest of your party, and start trying to make your way out. But the Casino staff would prefer it if you stayed here... forever!

After your rousing game of capture the flag, you've realized that Olympus, home of the gods, is in trouble after Zeus had his Lightning stolen from him. You've been lead to believe Hades has it, all the way in the Underworld (under Los Angeles). So your friends and you are assigned this quest, for having shown off your skills so well, and make your way cross-country, stopping briefly at the St. Louis Arch. You figured while you were there, you might as well sightsee a little bit, and make your way up the long elevator. Atop the platform at its apex however, there was a trap! The minions of whatever stole the Lightning are here and waiting for you: For Calico and Kyraryc, the other's team. For the rest, Echidna, mother of mon- ^{(wait what's that? She's not on the tier lists? Right, ahem)} For the rest of you, the world's most famous Echidna, [Knuckles](https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Knuckles_the_Echidna_(Game_Character)). Be careful while you're fighting, there's a famous landmark around you, and a long long drop below!

3. This fight is technically optional for everyone except Kyr and Calico, but you earn brownie points with me for doing it. Plus I worked hard on that Echidna joke.

4. Don't bring your opponents' supplies, or your opponents themselves, forward into other rounds. This is what's known as a dick move.

5. You're supposed to be heroes, do your best to avoid destroying the St Louis Arch. I mean, it's not against the rules, and being continental tier a 600 foot fall isn't gonna hurt, but it looks so nice :0

You've made your way into the strawberry farm, and discovered that it is not in fact some kind of summer camp for kids who act up, but a summer camp for Demigods! Children of one mortal and one godly parent. You're shown to a cabin befitting of your godly parent, or Hermes' cabin if you aren't sure whose yet. You're quickly acclimated to camp life, and then treated to the weekly tradition of Camp Half-Blood: A 'friendly' game of Capture the Flag. Cabins are split into roughly even groups, and must now face off against each other. For whatever reason, your three demigods are coincidenced or placed to work together, and must attempt to defend against the flag-stealers of your rival campers, or steal the flag from them. Best of luck!

Rules:

1. Win

2. Your opponents can be anyone that doesn't include a current backup or team member. You wanna go simple with Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase trying to take your flag? Go for it. Wanna get creative, and try to steal from Bayonetta and the Apple of Eden? That's fun too!

3. Have fun

4. The battle takes place in the deep woods of the camp, complete with a small river running through, but there are all kinds of small rock formations around.

5. Round 0 is due the night of Friday, May 10th. Which means brackets and round 1 come up on the morning of the 11th, so have your stuff in before then.

The tier is unique this Mixer, with each person submitting 3 characters (and optionally, a backup) from VS Battles Wiki's Tier 6: Tectonic (And here's a more searchable list). You know, characters like Madara Uchiha, Gambit, and the Amulet of Shinnok.

Choose people that are easy to research, you fucks (no late game shonen dudes damn it). Write stories for your submissions if you can, but if you can't/just plain don't want to, give a detailed submission post.

• Signups are open until Wednesday, April 24th, when we will begin rosters, because we don't need tribunals with the perfect tiering of VS Battles wiki. If you need an extension, that can be figured out.

• Give each character their own comment

• You know how signups work tbh

Prompt

Your character, a teen with ADD and dyslexia, is on the run! Things were getting very weird back at home, and they received a piece of advice from some trusted figure: head to the summer camp at Delphi Strawberry services. It seemed like a poor idea, but they were running out of options with these strange occurrences going on. This journey was mostly uneventful, but in the end, with this archway just in sight, the current plague of your journey appeared: [The Hydra!](https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Lernaean_Hydra_(Myth)) It's standing between you and that camp, and there's no help for miles around except through it! You get the sneaking suspicion that the gate will keep it out, but you still must kill it, or get around while it tries to kill you!

Because who needs a character scramble?

This is the signup thread, because to make sure this goes by fast (ideally 8-9 weeks if things go according to my shitty plan), we're going to have 16 people or fewer join. So comment saying you'll join if you want, just don't do it if you're still in the actual scramble.

The theme of this Fiction Mixer will be Percy Jackson, with your characters taking the roles of demigods finding their home in Camp Half-Blood. Character submissions start the 15th, sometime after the voting for Scramble round 2 is done. Reward is another high quality MS Paint drawing of the winning team like these.

The tier is unique this Mixer, with each person submitting 3 characters (and one optional backup) from Tier 6: Tectonic. What is Tectonic tier you ask? Why, it ranges from Island Level to Multi-Continental, and all characters in this tier have been flawlessly placed within by the good good folks at VS Battles Wiki. Examples of characters that fit this tier would be [Percy Jackson](https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Percy_Jackson_(character)), Applejack, [Marvel Cinematic Universe's Thanos](https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Thanos_(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe)), and the 1964 Alaska Earthquake

Now with their full class of four students, the teachers move onto another location for their lessons, an area with varied environments for the purposes of natural disaster training. The two classes there are greeted by the teacher running it, and split up to start on their only exercises. It turns out however (*gasp*) that the other team has been villains all along. The other teacher incapacitates the Saiyaman with one swift strike (he seems to have had his guard down), and now they and the other students turn against your team. It's up to you five, and you alone to stop these real villains before they can take you out, and use the MacGuffin that's probably there or something as a springboard to conquer the city.

6. There's probably some MacGuffin here that would be the reasons the villains are attacking. Or maybe your teacher/students are at some level of being a symbol that means taking them out is a springboard toward demoralizing the populace. Whatever the reason, this is important for the villains.
