Osloki's 5 on 5 island battle! (Deadwood vs. Charles; ref: Oslo) :)

[Oslo]

ASB, I’m so friggin’ bored that I’ve decided upon two ways to entertain myself: either stick my tongue in a fan or ref a battle. In the interest of my tongue’s well-being… is anyone up for a five on five?

Ladies and gents, the arena will be… Osloki Island!

Yes, the fray will take place on the placid shore of some uncharted Caribbean island. It’s night here and the only light comes from the hanging moon and the many wooden torches lining the shore. The fronds of innumerable palm trees sway in the night breeze and, right where the beach meets the treeline, the indestructible tiki of the island god, Osloki, watches over the battle. (Yeah, I just named a god after me. I must be shameless.)

Every so often, you’re encouraged to offer Osloki a blessing in the form of any damage-dealing attack. Osloki will store these blessings and keep track of how much damage has been dealt to him with a damage meter. When Osloki is offered 50 HP of damage, the wooden tiki will mysteriously come to life. If you’re the one who was quick enough to issue that final attack that brought Osloki to 50 HP, then he will assist you by placing a curse upon your opponent. This curse might manifest itself in the form of damage, a status or something else nasty. Nothing too game-changing, though. After Osloki places a curse on someone, his damage meter will return to 0 HP and the process will repeat itself.

Osloki is a rather vain god (but what deity isn’t?) and will smite you if you choose not to offer him blessings, however. If either battler goes ten actions without offering Osloki a blessing, then he’ll automatically come to life and curse them… so yeah, you be kind now.

Because it’s night, Sunny Day and Morning Sun will fail and moves that require sunlight (SolarBeam, Synthesis, etc.) will work less effectively. Moonlight will work like normal. As well, I’m going to ban non-damaging healing moves. Abilities are active.

Finally, as one added stipulation… I want both participating trainers to PM me with the five Pokemon they’ll be using for this fight, and I will decide upon the order of their release. Just to keep things extra-exciting.

So who’s game?
