Pumpkin's Character Tournament!

[sharkythesharkdogg]

Hitomi and Kika!

[Formalhaut]

Dead or Alive 5: Shock horror, characters who actually wear clothes! I almost didn't recognize them outside of their swimsuits. I'll go for Kokoro, if only because I'd be impressed if she could fight in a kimono and those horribly impractical shoes.

Suikoden IV: I have a thing for pirates lately, Isabela from Dragon Age II, Sigrid from Generic Fantasy™, and now Kika. Both Isabela and Sigrid have hilarious personalities which belie a ~dark and mysterious~ past. I've not played any of these games, but I'll go for Kika.

Flare and Kokoro.

That's been a few votes not go your way eh Pumpkin?

[Pumpkin]

Indeed

I'm keeping track of it so when it's all over, I'll have like a list of how it would have went if there was no voting (meaning just myself picking my favourites). I can tell you it's already quite a bit different. Especially since we're still in the first stages and don't even have all of our game finalists yet!

EDIT:
Ahahaha, that's the last 7 brackets I've voted against the majority! Last one I agreed on was Totori

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Hitomi and, due to a distinct lack of archer characters, Flare.

[Karifean]

Hitomi and Flare.

Quite amused at the DoA characters' names. "Pupil" and "Heart", huh.

[Colonel Angus]

Hitomi & Kika

Time for new brackets!

First is from the Legend of Mana:


VS


There are some spoilers here if you intend to play the game!

The Matilda story is one of the most extreme and complicated love stories I've seen. Matilda is a holy woman. When you first meet her she looks like a very old woman. This is because her lover took her powers from her, aging her drastically. Her lover is a half-demon who is very upset that he isn't allowed to be with her because of her position, so essentially wants to destroy the world. Another man who loves Matilda is trying to kill her lover. And her female friend is trying to sort all of it out while keeping her away from the half-demon she loves. This leads to some very bad things. Matilda believes that the greatest thing anyone can have is their freedom and wants to be with her half-demon lover no matter what and is willing to forsake everything for it.

It's a bit complicated to explain Pearl and BlackPearl without some info. There are a race of people called the Jumi who's hearts are made from jewels. They are being hunted to extinction. They have a few positions, and usually there is a "Knight" Jumi who will protect a "Guardian" Jumi. Pearl is a Guardian Jumi, she's bery sweet, peaceful, caring. But we learn that she was born from the damaged core of BlackPearl who was the "Knight" for the leader of the Jumi, and was one of the most powerful Jumi of all. She is much more stern and powerful.

And from Xenosaga:


VS


There will also be spoilers for these because it's like 3 games long with a very complicated story.

MOMO is a Realian (artificial human) created by the greatest scientist (and thought madman) of their time. She has several functions, but one of the most important things is she contains the "Y-Data". Without getting too detailed, this contains very valuable information and the bad guys want it. She was based off of the daughter of the man who created her who based off of his disabled daughter, who died. Because of this, at first, her "mother" (The wife of the man who created her) couldn't stand to look at her or be around her, and people thought her father was a madman who brought about much bad things. She struggles with herself and feeling accepted and of course wanting to be human. But she's very sweet, she works hard, and she does her best for her friends. In the first game, she is very physically weak, uses rods, and is a good healer. She becomes a much more powerful and well-rounded character in the other two games.

Jr. is a U.R.T.V. which takes a bit to fully explain, but he's not human either and is essentially a weapon. He was born with his twin brother and himself attached at the heart, and his brother is really kind of crazy and obsessed with him and is one of the main game antagonists. He was the most powerful U.R.T.V. and was designated the leader, but he made some poor decisions that lead to a lot of deaths. He's also permanently stuck looking like a child, and he was in love with Sakura, mentioned above. He uses guns in battle and is an overall well rounded character with good distance fighting.
