You're an OCT veteran. You started out simply; pick a character, join the tourney, get paired up with someone else, and watch the blood flow.

But you're sick of the traditional hack-and-slash. Perhaps you're even searching for a challenge.

Well, my friends, "By Random Chance" is here to provide it.

The Basic Idea
General OCT strategy applies: enter a character, pair up with someone else, commence the challenge, one wins and one drops out.
But here's where it gets interesting.
Instead of letting you guys choose the challenge, you're randomly given a vague idea and have to build off of it. These "challenges" are each assigned a number one through six, and are determined by rolling a die. They range anywhere from the traditional physical battle to a battle of wits.
But that's not all, folks. Your setting is also determined.

The Plot
After scores of years of seemingly limitless popularity, the Valentine Troupe fad is dying out. Attendance plummets and the troupe desperately attempts to scrape away from bankruptcy. The only plausible solution is a new act; the old act, Onyx, has lost his passion for performing.
They tried posting flyers. Front-page newspaper articles drew mediocre talent, and proved too expensive as time went by. This is when Emma Valentine, the troupe's ringleader, was persuaded into a more "creative" form of advertising.
After one full year of in-depth research, Emma sent out hundreds of letters to prospective performers. And through a sportsmanlike, hospitable tournament of skills, she'll decide who will win a place at the top.

Your character is also assigned a room and you (as the creator) choose the character's roommate, as to further develop plot and characters.

Technical Terms
You must audition to be accepted into the contest. This is to be sure we have a perfectly even number of contestants (to prevent three-way battles).

There is no concrete-set-in-stone date for when auditions and character reference sheets are due.
