=Good vs Evil: Fantasy Army Tournament=

In this tourney, people will create their own armies and battle. Their will be two sides: Good and Evil. The Good armies will battle the Evil armies and see who wins. The Set up goes like this:

The World
The battles will take place in a fantasy world, filled with magic and supernatural creatures. There are several different races, from the most real humans to the to the viscous orcs. Their are also several beasts from fantasy and mythos like trolls, dragons, werewolves and undead monsters.

The forces that lay in this world can be at each user's arsenal but only to an extent. Powerful demons and strong gods will not care for the affairs of humanity and their wars. The most powerful creatures one can harness is of massive but ignorant beasts

Leader Creation
Each user must have a leader. They should be creative yet realistic. They don't rely on magic or supernatural powers but their tactical talents experience.

Bio
Each Leader should have a bio, giving us a feel for their character and how they work. Their background should have enough information on why they are going what they are doing. Having a bio also gives you warrior a reputation. It can aid their intimidation or influence.

A Good leader may have had a good life till his enemies took away his peace of mind, wanting to destroy evil before they can destroy anymore. He is harsh towards his enemies but kind to those who oppose his enemies.

An Evil leader may be an ambitious man, once living as a prince, now seeking the conquest of the world to fill his unsatisfiable hunger for power. He will devastate his enemies, from destroying them to tormenting them.

Gear
The Leaders are given four personal weapons
 * Melee: A weapon used in close up combat
 * Reach: A hand-held weapon that grants the user allot of reach but not true range
 * Range: A weapon that grants the user expendable ranged attacks
 * Special: A weapon of the user's choosing
 * Armor/Shield: Armor and shields are very useful tools, granting the user much needed defense
 * Usually Leader stuff: Each warrior will have what a general would need to make their plans, lead their armies and other stuff.

You should point out whether your Leader is willing to fight in the fight. They might relish combat, willing to fight in the battle. However, they might not want to fight. He may be too old and unfit to fight or just cowardly.

Tactics
Each leader needs a basic tactic, a base to use for his more complicated plans. He may prefer a basic "Zerg Rush" Tactic, just rush in and devastate them. He may want to sabotage his enemies before the battle, weakening them before hand. She may choose to set up an ambush, attack them when they are not ready. Choose what you usually do for your battles, what your basic tactic is.

Fighting Force
You are given 6 fighting forces of your choice 20 points to spend to raise the abilities of your troops.
