THE TPM TOURNAMENT
A long time ago, the Earth and another world were connected by a bond that could span millions of light-years. That world was simply known as the Feyworld, enchanted by magick, that world offered an escape from the harsh realities the Earth had begun to create. This bond was capable of transporting people vast distances in almost instantaneous time. But this rift in time and space would only appear when the Moon was full, so that its mystical power could focus in and make the bond safe to travel in.
But there came a time when the Earth’s harsh realities infected Feyworld, bringing about wars and diseases that ravaged the surface of the poor world. The Emperor of Feyworld decided that, to save the creatures of his planet, he had to destroy the magickal bond. On the night of the next full Moon, many attempted to cross into the enchanted verse, but alas, the golden bridge would not appear, and Earth’s people were left alone. The Emperor then determined; the only way this bond would ever form again was if he died and the world needed to pick a new leader. In his arrogance and stupidity, he thought he could never die.
He did. Many years later, but the Emperor was laid to rest and so Feyworld now seeks a new leader. The full Moon came once again, but the magick has realized that the Earth it once knew had changed drastically. There is little to no magick left, their wars had escalated into a race for the largest bomb, and technology, something Feyworld has never encountered, has spread like a virus. But alas, the spell held true, with that Moon it studied our world, and realized that the easiest way to pick a new Emperor was to infect and control the very thing that connected almost every single being.
The internet.
At the exact same moment, all over the world, every computer with internet connection abruptly crashed, leaving the screen with only a black screen with a strange poem displayed.
Look to the Sky
Can you feel the rain?
There are stars in your eyes
Deep down you don’t want to die
So free to be the liar inside
It beats in you
Like a cool breeze
Look to the Sky
In the search for truth
Ride the cosmic caravan
The universal bond we share
Look to the Sky
The Starborn
Seers of the master prophecy
Oracles
Seek out the messenger
The ones with stars in their eyes
Look to the Sky
To Mother, To the Moon
As abruptly as this poem appeared, it vanished, and the computers returned to their normal state. Earth’s people continued on with their lives, as if the massive internet infection was nothing more but a radical computer prank. The spirit of Feyworld waited until the night of the next full Moon. Out of all the choices it had, it chose one site above them all.
Abruptly, sixteen people who were connected to The Pokemasters that fateful Saturday vanished. Sucked into their computers and transformed into data that could be manipulated and changed for Feyworld’s arena. All of them awoken to find themselves trapped in a world made of thousands of blue, translucent cubes and shards of data, which form nothing more than walls and one long path.
Starborns, there are sixteen of you, and seventeen elements related to the world you connect to every day. The only one you will not find is the bland element, of the norm and unchallenged. At the end of this path are stars of each element, you are to race down and choose one.
And in that instant, the challenge had begun.
Special Thanks To…

BASIC RULES AND INFO
+This is NOT an official Tournament in RPG, but it had to be approved anyways because it's special =)
+ Courtesy (HAHAHAHA), politeness, attempting to get along, no flaming etc. All the basics for most if not all RPGs. If you have an issue with another player, IMs and PMs do wonders nowadays…
+ To make this clear, you are playing YOURSELF. What would you do if you were sucked into your computer and met other TPMers you happen to recognize (oh please don’ kill each other… Yet =D)?
+ The ASB format for battling is what we will be utilizing, NOT ASBRPG. If your not familiar with ASB standard rules, Please refer to their Rules Tower, Attack Tower, D/P Attack Tower and this Example Battle
+ Cursing is alright, but for the sake of readers, please do not over do it.
+ Have a nice day and remember to smile =D
ELEMENTS & SPIRITS
+ There are seventeen elements (types) mentioned in this RPG, however, you will only actively engage sixteen of them.
+ Your attacks are dictated by two things: the first is your element; the second is your spirit.
+ Spirits are essentially Pokemon, you are assigned to one Spirit and can use any of their attacks. If you use an attack your Spirit cannot learn, too bad so sad. Your attack has been wasted.
+ Everyone, no matter what type or Spirit, can learn: Mega Punch, and Mega Kick.
DATA FORM
+ A spiffy form you take when in battle, it is essentially armour to make these battles possible. They are relatively fantasy in design due to Feyworld’s nature, they are also associated with your element.
WINNING & LOSING
+ If you win a match, you move up in the tournament main ranking.
+ Winning a match gains you the reward of your opponents Spirit.You then are considered dual type and can further customize your armour.
+ If you lose, you are out of the tournament. No rematches, no second chances, the Game Master returns you to the real world as a bloodied and bruised mess.
+ You may continue to RP even if you lose in the tournament. A Story could be evolving in the real world about the people who disappeared for a while are now miraculously returning.
REFEREES
+ RESPECT the Refs, they are taking time out of their busy day to do this for you.
+ Do NOT flame or constantly argue with the Ref, if you are truly unhappy with how your Ref is performing, PM me and I will take it into concern.
