CONTEST ZEJ Statistical Contest ~ Iteration 2

Two profiles have been received. I'd really like to get more from those who confirmed their interests before I post results. I'll give you guys two days (until I start to work on the results) to give me an update on your status in the contest. I will be lenient on the deadline some more if need be, but if you don't inform me of how much time you'll need within two days time, I'll just assume you're dropping out.

@Shadow @CerberusLycan @Dark @Gist @Masquerade

 

Well, being that nobody else has turned in their profiles to this save for Nate and Starr, I guess I'm going to have to post the results with just two. Was hoping for more of a turnout, but that's okay I guess.

 

Well, being that nobody else has turned in their profiles to this save for Nate and Starr, I guess I'm going to have to post the results with just two. Was hoping for more of a turnout, but that's okay I guess. As per the budding Statcontest 'tradition,' the results have come much later than were expected! But of course, what kind of a host would I be if I didn't actually get them up to acknowledge the hard work of the two actual entrants (a curse on the rest of your families! For shame! Getting this poor soul's hopes up and then crushing them beneath your proverbial soles). Without any further fanfare or delay, I would like everyone to put their hands together for the results of the second statcontest.

Second Place[/i]]Name: Lord X-Giga-X
Original Creator: Lord X-Giga-X
Original Roleplay: Cult of Ustream ~ Official Roleplay
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Level: 7
Next Level: 0/24
Appearance: Lord X-Giga-X stands at a height of 6'2". His skin is covered by a layer of darkness, which gives it a bluish-gray color. His right eye is red and his left eye is blue. He has green hair which is similar to the hair of Terra (character from the Kingdom Hearts series), the only difference being three strands of hair which covers parts of his forehead. Immediately below his eyes are two green, triangular markings.

He wears a sleeveless purple shirt, which bears a black symbol that looks like a vertical straight line connecting the top of the shirt to the kanatana for fu (フ). This covers up a dark gray, striped long-sleeve shirt. His pants are also grey and striped, and appear to be ripped at the bottom. He wears a utility belt, which he uses to carry his death ray. On both hands, he wears black, fingerless gloves with holes in the back to allow dark energy to flow out of his hands. He wears iron boots on his feet.

The most noticeable part of his outfit is his black cape. Occasionally, Lord X-Giga-X will allow his cape to fall into bad condition, usually being excessively torn or having huge holes in it. And occasionally, he won't be wearing one at all. This usually occurs after he burns a cape in respect for each of his fallen team members.

Original Roleplay: WAVES ~ Melody in Motion
Gender: Male
Age: 78
Level: 10
Next Level: ??/??
Appearance: "Aaron is a six-foot, eleven-inch Felidi that bears resemblance to the puma of today. He possesses black hair and brilliant blue eyes, and is commonly found wearing mostly grey clothing and a skull ring with a ruby set in the forehead. His conductor's baton is mainly dark red with an onyx set into the bottom as an indicator of what it can achieve, as well as due to onyx being Aaron's favorite stone." ~Dark; from the WAVES ~ Melody in Motion SU thread.

Profession: Conductor of the Departed Orchestra: With his signature baton in hand, the one who claims this profession is a masterpiece of musical knowledge, whose limits transcend even the binds of death itself, for his Orchestra is fully comprised of those departed souls whose magnum opera had not yet been reached.  And when all assembled, he leads them, and how he leads them indeed, for in death they are stronger than they ever were in life, and to be led by this Conductor, it is terrifying.
[Undead Orchestra][Music Plays On]
Job Progression: Necro-Conductor -> Conductor of the Departed Orchestra -> ? -> ?
*Undead Orchestra: Aaron can use a special command called "Summon Instrument," which can be used free of Aaron's Act command, but must be used before.  Two new fields are added to Aaron's stats: Necromancy Points, abbreviated as "NP," which are solely used to summon instruments, increase by 1 for each point of damage Aaron causes, begin with a limit of 20, can be increased with stat points, and amount is carried on between battles.  Second is Orchestra, which is a stat that is used solely to keep track of the number of instruments Aaron has summoned, has a maximum limit of 60, and is not carried on between battles; however, the user must keep track of the specific Intsruments Aaron currently has summoned.
*Music Plays On: Chained skills can go past their usual Range by 2.  Area-of-effect skills can only do this for a single target.

Weapon: Vermillion and Onyx baton This conductor's Baton, so much like death itself, is the tool of choice for Aaron.  [INT +4][Range: 3][Basic Attack Damage Output +5% for every 10 instruments]
Armor: Necro-Conductor's Uniform: Cobsidering Aaron's unique profession, this vest could hardly be called a "uniform"... [SPR +4][DEF +3]
Accessory: Skull Ring:A ring befitting a Necromancer, it almost seems to give off a feeling of dread... [NP +20][Immunity to negative mental status conditions]

Range: 3 cells ~ Surrounding cells. Element: Neutral.  Requires 2 violins (2 NP cost for instruments). MP:

+ Bells of a Forgotten Dirge: Death comes to all at some point, and thus this piece is made for them, a funeral tune that seems all too familiar to its listeners, as if some ancient and now-forgotten tune passed on by the memories of their ancestors, overtaking the listeners with the feeling that soon, they may join them in the great beyond. 100% INT Damage.  Chance of Dread.  Chain: Four Knocks to Elysium or Ghostly Footsteps in Staccato Rhythm.  Range: 4 cells.

Requires 1 Clarinet, 1 Bass Drum, 2 Violins, 2 Violas, and 1 cello. (11 NP Cost for instruments)

+ Four Knocks to Elysium: Sometimes to get into Elysium, all you need to do is knock once.  For some however, they are never allowed in.  And thus, they keep on knocking, desperate for the respite it gives.  The aim of this piece is to capture that everlasting struggle 4 hits.  100% INT Damage each hit.   Chance of Confusion on first hit, Knockback of 1 cell on second hit, chance of Desperation on Third hit, chance of Scramble on Final hit.  Chain: Itself or Royal Heraldry of Hades.  Accuracy: 80% (All hits).  Range: 4 cells.  Element: Dark.  Requires 1 Snare Drum, 1 Bass Drum, 1 Gong, and 1 Timpani (12 NP cost for instruments)

Range: 4 cells ~ Surrounding cells.  Element: Fire. Requires 2 pianos and 1 Organ (20 NP cost for instruments).

oops bumping this and not with any results.

As I mentioned over IRC to Cerby, and attempted to alert Gist and Dark about, I am EXTENDING the deadline once more to accommodate a better degree of competition, and more diverse meta. This time will be the last time I opt to extend the deadline, and I do hope that people can find enough time in their schedules to jump into this. It would make this old soul very happy. I am giving everyone (including Nate and Starr) until...

Saturday, September 21[sup]st[/sup], 2013​

...to start/finish their profiles, or retouch them. I really want to see this be a successful project/contest, and if people are dedicated, then maybe we can see some new faces enter the ring. I myself might even try to make a profile in the spirit of competition, though obviously I won't be 'officially' competing. Please let me know if you would be able to participate, guys!
