Numbers Hunting Season (NHS) Rules

You wake up slowly, groggily, in a place you’ve never seen before. Slowly sitting up, you take in your surroundings. It takes you a few minutes to remember exactly what happened.
“I remember… a man. He said he was giving us a chance at… ‘the ultimate power and eternal glory’? And then… The plane. The plane they dropped us from. I must have landed here.”
The shock of being suddenly dumped out of a plane with nothing but your deck, a parachute, and the clothes on your back (not to mention whatever else you may have been carrying) must have put you into a temporary amnesic state. Now that you’ve got your bearings, and your memory, you have to take stock of your situation. Only then can you set out on your assigned task.
Collect all the number cards from the other competitors.

After about an hour, a voice suddenly emanates from seemingly nowhere; an island-wide loudspeaker system.
“Hello, and welcome one and all to my island. You been chosen for a very special reason: You hold a special and unique card called a Number. This Xyz monster is very powerful indeed. However, you are not the only one with one of these cards. Every other competitor here on this island has one of these Numbers as well. If you somehow can’t remember what your number card is, simply look in your extra deck! I have one of several number cards in my possession as well, but I am not a competitor. I only retain them so that none of you can use them! One of which is Number 11: Big Eye. It sits here in my private collection. So that means you won’t have to worry about dueling that guy! Wait, what’s that? Dueling? Ah, yes. I almost forgot. The competition here is a game of duel monsters! The rules are simple: One. In order to take another competitor’s Number, you have to best them in a two out of three match. Two. If by chance you should lose your number card, you can get a new one by winning three consecutive duels against someone who has one. The rest should be explained on the pamphlet in your pocket! It even has a map of the island. Well, here we go! Good luck to you all, and happy hunting!”
After hearing this, you reach into your pocket and pull out a thick pamphlet. You unfold it, and read its contents…

Welcome everybody! Here on this island, you will compete against one another in a survival-of-the-fittest/last-man-standing duel monsters competition! The rules are as follows:

1. You will create a character using the following code, and then post it below:
2. You must select a Number that has not already been taken by another competitor.

3. Number 11: Big Eye is banned from this competition, and will be held by the Master of the Hunt for safe keeping!

4. Duels will be held as follows: All duels will be match duels. Siding is allowed, and there are no restrictions on cards. TCG and OCG are both allowed. The winner of the match will receive the opponent’s Number and may add it to their deck. The loser will of course lose their Number. They can get a new Number, however, by winning three consecutive duels against an opponent who has a number card, or against the Master of the Hunt for a new number card entirely, but it will be selected by him.

5. The following decks are banned: Dragon Rulers, Exodia, Burn, Stall, and Instant win. These decks were deemed to not be in the true spirit of this competition, and have thus been banned.

There are also some rules pertaining strictly to your deck.

1. You may only contain one copy of a specific number card in your deck. Example: You cannot have two copies of Number 96: Dark Mist in your deck.

2. After winning another number card, you may add it to your extra deck if you desire.

3. You can edit or completely change your deck at any time. Not during a match, of course, except for siding.

4. If your Number has a “Number C” form, you can only win that after striking the killing blow with your number card against your opponent’s Life Points! After that, you may add a copy of your “Number C” to your deck.

And then there are some important Number-specific rules to remember.

1. Just like in the anime, Numbers can only be destroyed by other Numbers. At least by battle. They can still be destroyed by card effects.

2. You do not have to summon a Number to win one from another player.

Finally, some basic RP rules.

1. Do not godmod. That means you cannot make yourself invincible or otherwise “cheat”.

2. No controlling other people’s characters.

3. If you move to a different area, you must say so somewhere in your post. Otherwise, you cannot properly be tracked down by either other competitors or the RP staff.

4. When challenging someone to a duel, they may decline. If they do so, do not pester them. However, if it is discovered that they are evading every duel, they will be corrected.

5. Put some effort into your posts. People are here to not only win, but to have fun. Many people enjoy reading the RP posts. So make yourself memorable.

6. If you put some extra detail into your post after a duel, maybe detailing the end of it, you may or may not be rewarded. This is not a guarantee.

7. Pay attention to other posts before you. If your post would not make logical sense, fix it BEFORE you post it!

8. Remember, stay active! If you are inactive, your Number may be… repossessed and redistributed.

9. Remember to check the Board often, to see which Numbers are in who’s possession! Located here: http://www.duelacademy.net/t32807-number-s-hunting-season-nhs-participants-and-standings#305909

10. After a duel, post the results of the duel here: http://www.duelacademy.net/t32807-number-s-hunting-season-nhs-participants-and-standings#305909

11. DO NOT duel until the Master of the Hunt gives the all-clear to begin. It is necessary for enough people to join first. However, he did not want to keep people waiting to RP. You may post, but do not duel yet.

The rest of the pamphlet contains a detailed map of the island, and the words...

Because I *technically* have a character in this, here's my sheet.

Name: Ezekeil (With my duel spirit Erebus)

Appearance: About 6 feet tall. Lanky. Sort of pale skin. Dark brown hair. Green eyes. Has a device attached to his arm with the letters EBS-1 written on it. It has wires that run up his arm to various other sensors and components. He has a wireless earpiece as well.

Personality: Calm, cool, and calculating. Likes to plan his every move. However, he can get caught in the heat of the moment and make some rash decisions. He doesn’t like his target to escape from him, and may try to hunt them down. Despite being so serious, he can also be quite the joker and likes to mess around frequently. He has a thing for grand entrances and exits, when possible. He frequently talks to Erebus, his Duel Spirit who lives in the device on his arm (The EBS-1). He is very rich, but doesn't really show it. He chooses to wear rather plain clothes, and doesn't act like he is made of money. However, he does own a helicopter that he frequently uses to move around the island.

Name: Harth

Race: Changeling (Put race before appearance and height and all that crap because otherwise it would make no sense)

Appearance: He could look like anything or any kind of creature. However, to change form to mimic the appearance of someone exactly would be too difficult and would there would be noticeable differences. He can also turn into objects, but can only move if he has the legs to do so. Changes are physically and not just illusions- if he turned into stone, he would be made of stone, and therefore be very resilient but unable to move. Regardless of form, he will remain sentient and still retain awareness of his surroundings.
Height: See above.

Number: Number 17: Leviathan Dragon (I always pick this XD)

Personality: Sly, sneaky and cautious. Harth will be very wary about trusting people, but is unlikely to betray people he knows. Despite this, he'll be quite willing to sneak around, spy on and steal from people he does not know, regardless of who they are.

Objective: To see that the power of the numbers goes to someone he trusts, preferably himself.
