=The Nightmare Tournament===Background Story==
The story that the tournament circles around is called The Nightmare Chronicles, and is about two siblings: Guido and Lynnie Alacheeto. They deal with a dream-invading monster called Nightmare, a doppleganger of Guido who was born in his dead girlfriend's worst dreams.
==The Story of the Tournament==
Imagine that you are on your own merry way, doing whatever it is you do in your daily existence. Then, imagine a ghastly figure named Nightmare dragging you into his own demented world, forcing you to fight in his evil games for his enjoyment. He has captured 64 'contestants,' and are plunging you all into fighting to the death. Will you survive? Do you want to make it out alive? Do you have any unfinished business to attend to? Then fight to live as you battle through your opponents, and face the evil Nightmare, face-to-face.
But who is this Nightmare you speak of?
==The Antagonist - Nightmare==
Nightmare resembles a man in his late teens, with generally scruffy hair and a slender physique. Only thing is, since he's a dream-demon, he dons coal-black skin, black eyes with red pupils, crimson-red hair, and a white wife-beater with jeans and boots. He may not sound ominous at first, but he possesses the ability to kill you indeed.

Nightmare's personality is: He loves to annoy, pester, and most of all, terrify his victims. He is generally childish, but he will be serious when the occasion arises.
His 'fun' involves:
1) Invading a person's mind
2) Putting them to sleep by interfering with their brains
3) Giving them an extremely realistic nightmare where they die from some sort of monster in Nightmare's own little world
When they wake up, they thought they actually died. That's how bad it is. Now, his goal is to do this enough to drive his victims mad. He just loves to break the human psyche. But his most feared skill is dragging his victims into his world by submerging reality into the darkness of his mind...
==Nightmare's World - The Devil's Playground==
Nightmare created this world exclusively for his twisted games. He does not call it by any particular name, but he infests the place with monsters to torture and maim his victims. The Devil's Playground is engulfed in a thin fog, and is extremely dark and menacing. Most of the buildings are run-down, demolished, or empty, but Nightmare has created eight particular areas that he will use in his twisted games:
The Toy Factory, a horrific toy factory that mass-produces instruments of terror.
Bishop's Gate, a circus wonderland from the dark pits of Hell.
The Sinkhole, an underwater nightmare consisting of sunken ships, ravenous monsters, and the ultimate threat.
The Mines/Labyrinth, a series of dangerous, twisting tunnels that lead to confusing mazes.
The Cathedral, the festering center of evil condensed in the form of a symbol of pure good.
Fury's Mansion, the residence of an alien that now belongs to a disgruntled poltergeist and her minions.
The Clock Tower, a massive, looming, terrible tower that stands for miles high.
The Island/Asteroid, a floating mass of rock in the sky that was once an asteroid. Now its home to a series of blood-thirst beasts.
Each of these are hellish in their own way, and fuller descriptions will be given at a later date on the

profile.
==Non-Playable Characters - the Judges==
Nightmares general objective is to drag his victims into his own world for a tournament where the people kill each other for his enjoyment. However... if this doesnt work, and there are survivors (there is 1 survivor in each area, naturally), this is where the NPCs step in.
The NPCs have been dragged into Nightmare's world against their will, being forced to watch over 8 contestants in each area. The judges are evil supernatural beings, each with the intent of killing the sole survivor. While they will not attack you at first, they will later.
The NPCs represent the judges, and their profiles will be posted at a later date as well.
==Other NPCs - Nightmare's Minions==
Nightmare has a variety of minions you can use in your stories. Basically, these guys are not messing around, and they will not hesitate to kill you!
The Tormentor: Several tons of pure terror. Created by condensed evil, this mask-wearing abomination is truly something to be afraid of! It uses its sheer strength to kill its victims.
Reference picture:
[link]Bonnie and Clyde: Two evil versions of Guido and Lynnie, the aforementioned protagonists of The Nightmare Chronicles, who have been created from their worst nightmares. They don 1920's gangster clothing, and they will not hesitate to maul you. They resemble Guido and Lynnie. Bonnie wields a large club, while Clyde prefers guns and knives to do the dirty work.
