Hello there, everyone! Happy belated New Year. I hope you all managed to enjoy the festivities. Firstly, I'd like to thank the wonderful Sivall (Tor) for my new report header, divider, and signature.
(Yes, TuQ! I have them now!)
With all that said, I've got some things to go over, so let's get to it!
Back when I ran my ACC Venue competition, there was a Venue suggested by J'Kast that has been uploaded to the site!
Korriban: Valley Of The Dark Lords
Moraband, known in antiquity as Korriban, is a harsh, desolate planet that is indelibly linked to its history as the ancient homeworld of the Sith. Its barren landscape, which is covered by red sands and a crimson sky, sporting towering rock formations born from the remnants of temples and tombs. The planet itself is saturated with the Dark Side of the Force, the result of nefarious rituals once performed by Sith forefathers.
One area of particular interest on the planet is the Valley of the Dark Lords, a narrow area between two cliff walls into which ancient tombs have been carved for fallen Sith Lords. The sealed tombs once concealed mysteries and dark powers connected to legends like Exar Kun and Naga Sadow, though decades of scavenging from looters and wannabe acolytes alike have left varying amounts of debris across the sand, leaving it questionable as to what remains.
What is certain is the presence of a dark energy that seeps from these tombs that renders the air around their rocky surroundings still, suffocating, maddening – as if too much humidity somehow exists in the desert environs. The tales of Sith Spirits returning from the dead to prey on the meek and feeble don't seem like an exaggeration in this ancient landscape. One can only hope and pray that these stories aren't based on reality.
In the last month or so, we have had 7 ACC battles completed, 5 of which were for my Let's Get Down To Business. This makes my a very happy Combat Master.
The battle that I would like to focus on, however, comes from two members of Clan Odan-Urr who had not only their first ACC battle together, but their first ACC battle ever!
We see a lot of character backstory, the development of their relationship with each other, as well as dealing with a killer droid hell-bent on destroying them. Standard Tuesday, if you ask me. I hope they thoroughly enjoyed their first foray into the ACC!
Feel free to read that and all the other battles linked above!
Speaking of my competition, we have winners to declare! (I know I already did this in Fiction Chat, but this is an official report.)
So, in first place, we had Ruka and Narman!
In second place, we have Tisto and Zuza!
In third place, we have Ras and Shadow!
In fourth place we have Ellac and Titius!
Thank you all for taking part! I thoroughly enjoyed reading each of your battles.
When one comp ends, another begins. My newest competitions, ACC: New Years Resolution, has begun! All you need to do is complete any kind of battle to participate. I will update the leaderboard upon each battle completion!
That's all from me! Plans and ideas are in the works, so keep an eye out for that in the future.
For now, thank you all for reading!
