Hello there everybody, TigerVolcano5000 here with the beginning of a little side story. There is an internet show called "Death Battle" that has been going on for the past, almost, seven years and I'm a huge fan. But, like I'm sure is the case with a few other fans of the show, there are certain fights I would like to see but may not. I'm unsure as to whether or not they will ever do the fights that I want to see, so I decided to do them myself. This is only for fun, a little side project I've been thinking about doing for a while now. As to keep it as similar to the real thing as possible, I'll be following the rules of Death Battle as listed on the website.
Combatants will only know of each other if they have had a canon meeting in their official universes, otherwise they will have no prior knowledge about one another. Regardless of whether or not they know of each other, no one is allowed to prepare for the fight
As the name would imply each fight has to end with the death of the loser, although it doesn't have to be at the winner's hands. "Dead" can also extend to as far as physical forms are concerned
Pacifists and peaceful combatants will have their moral restraints removed as to not interrupt the fight
All traits will be represented with accuracy based on each combatant's universes. Also, all canon sources and material will be considered for both combatants at the time of the episode's release
Characters who have had multiple incarnations will be an amalgam of the best aspects of those incarnations, unless it is drastically different from the others
Warriors will be shown at their latest depictions and/or oldest age in order to have access to all of their abilities
No players can influence the battle in order to keep it fair. This includes player-customization and special combatant training
I hope that this is something that I can make enjoyable for readers. I know that I'm not the only Death Battle fan who has certain fights they would want to see, but have doubts that they will. I have a few battles of my own planned out and am going to try and go at this as realistically as the actual hosts of the show would. But keep in mind, I have other stuff to do and don't possess the necessary help, time, or resources to search through every little detail about each combatant. I'll research as much as I can, until I'm confident that I'm picked a correct winner. Also, I'm a little confused as to how stories like these would be written because I hear different things from different people about the format so some help with that would be really appreciated. I have no clue how long this will be, it really is just a side story I'm gonna be doing for a little while. Anyway, hope you enjoy it and goodbye:)
