⚜ Group Contest :: "Make-A-Team!"⚜

There is no "I" in team and the Menewshan Summer Games is a great place to show some team spirit! Your mission if you choose to accept it, is to form a team! HA, seems pretty easy right? Well there is a catch of course! Can't make it too easy for you, now can I? The team has to be made up of at least THREE users and each entry has to have a specific role on the team. OH YEA! one other thing, you can only group up with users that are on your event team; Tatsu, Stareater, or Bunnyfish.

Step 1: Pick your team sport!
It has to be one team sport that has/is played during the Summer Olympics. Synchronized swimming? Basketball? Water polo? Softball? Go nuts.

Step 2: Assign your roles!
  • Role #1 - The super star. This athlete is very seasoned, capable, and an all around fan favorite.
  • Role #2 - The rookie. This athlete is rather new to the sport, relatively unknown and unsure.
  • Role #3 - The walk on. This athlete probably shouldn't even be called an athlete. It was a purely accidental transaction.

*If you decide to have more than three athletes in your group, give them a role and follow the same parameters as the other entries. Want to make a coach? An underdog? It's all good, but it might be more beneficial to your event team to split up and make more smaller teams as each group entry earns your event team 2 points!

Step 3: Tell me what happened!
You each need to provide your athlete's name and 2-3 sentences about your athlete, AS WELL AS 8-10 sentences (as a group) telling what happened in your event. Have one user in your group submit the entire entry, please.

Event Team: Team BunnyFish
Character Names & 2-3 Sentences:
Ava the champ #1 role
Ava is the champion of swimming. Naturally when it was time for her performance, she did outstanding. She won the hearts of viewers everywhere.

The magnificent Maha #2 role
Maha is the newbie in the swimming world, who looks up to Ava the champion, with stars in her eyes. She desires to become as good as her and be flowered with the same victory as the champion. Alas! no one has ever noticed Maha yet.

Gizzie (Butterfly) Winkle-bottom #3 role
Miss Winkle-bottom is the newest member of the team. She can't swim. She has her own style of dressing. Rumors say she is her village idiot. Was her name on the roster an accident or was it accidentally on purpose?

Coach Neph
Let's go team BunnyFish! Coach Neph, tough but fair. She's looking to lead her team to a win this year.

The uber fan
Fan of the Bunnyfish swimming team. Her excitement is well hidden at the moment, but as you may have noticed, this fan has gone to the extreme. She got herself a bunnyfish pet and had plastic surgery to change her eyes to look like bunnyfish eyes. Whenever the swimming team is competing, you can count on this uber fan. She will be there and she will cheer the team on wearing her team jersey, cheering loudly and truly shoving the love for her team!"
Team Sport: Swimming
What's Happening in Your Event? (8-10 Sentences): ~loud speaker blares~ "Welcome to the 2016 Menewsha Games", next event up is the swimming competition. Here is Team BunnyFish. (Clap clap)Ava was up first. As one could have guessed, Ava scored a perfect 10. Next up was the slightly nervous rookie Maha. Maha scored a 9.5. Maha thought to her self as she glared at Ava one of these days that will be me, I hope. While Ava was being showered in flowers thefans were all around snaping photos and cheering. The #1 uber fan ran up and asked Ava for an autograph. While all this celebration was going on out walks Gizzie . She steps over to the pool dressed in not the ordinary outfit one would normally wear. Wearing butterfly wings and her swimming attire and of all things a rubber duckie on her head gets in the pool to compete. Coach Neph looked oddly at her and then at the roster . Umm, who the heck is this? I don't see her name . Secretly Miss Winkle-bottom put herself on the team . Gizzie dives into the pool doing a look at me I can float like a butterfly routine. Well Gizzie was not only the village idiot , but couldn't swim. She sank like a brick and banged up her forehead. While all of this was going on , Maha was still ashamed of not really having any fans and stuff. I did really well and no one even seems to notice. Then Gizzie runs over to Maha giving her a high five. Coach Neph still puzzled at who the heck is Gizzie and why isn't her name on my roster . Neph walks up and says , umm who are you ? I dont believe you are a team member. Gizzie smiled. Yes yes yes I am on your team. Neph said but why dont I have your name down? Gizzie said look over there, see that security guy ? Im on his list. The people who are a security risk lookout list of routy fans who break rules. Neph said, but that isnt the same. SECURITY!!!!!!!! Gizzie was escorted away, while hanging her head in shame. Now back to my question about was Miss Winkle-bottom accidentally put on the list or was it accidentally on pourpose ? Miss Gizzie was Maha,s #1 fan. In her eyes Maha was the champ and she saw Ava as being way overrated. Nobody knew this and perhapes they never will. Except ...... for next year when Gizzie plots her next move to try to actually tell Maha. Is this where the missing mascot suit went ? Stay tuned......

Usernames: Salvete, Queen_Andais: star2000shadow: blueblackrose:
Event Team:Stareater
Character Names & 2-3 Sentences:

Ms. Janavonich = Coach (Queen_Andais)
An arrogant smile and determination etched on her face, Ms. Janavonich proudly walks into the gymnastics area to watch her girls perform. Win or lose, she knows they have what it takes to win.

Hokulani = Superstar (blueblackrose)
Hokulani beamed with confidence as she stood in the spotlight on the gymnastic's floor by her teammates. She was proud to be representing Team Stareater as its star gymnast.

Settareh = Rookie (salvete)
Settareh grinned nervously under the spotlight. Despite her racing heart, she was absolutely thrilled to be representing Team Stareater in the Menewsha Summer Games gymnastics competition for the first time.

Asha = Walk-on (star2000shadow)
She wasn't even supposed to be there, having been mistaken for one of the other Gymnasts, but she was ecstatic to be able to try, right up until Asha saw the crowd of people cheering for the team she'd been put on..maybe now was a good time to tell them she wasn't who they thought she was?

Team Sport:Gymnastics

What's Happening in Your Event? (8-10 Sentences):

Team Stareater entered today's gymnastic arena with bold confidence radiating from the veteran (Hokulani), quiet determination from the rookie (Settareh) and unknown potential from the walk on (Asha), followed by their proud coach (Ms. Janavonich). Fan favorite Hokulani posted impressive scores on all four apparatuses, demonstrating her flawless use of the Tsukahara into a back flip double twisting layout, truly impressive to watch. Settareh followed with her floor exercise routine. Although she didn't quite stick all her landings, the judges admired the strength and artistry demonstrated by this rookie athlete. Settareh was relieved as she stepped off the mat and was congratulated by her coach and teammates. Finally, it was Asha's turn as the final Team Stareater gymnast who had absolutely no idea what she was doing there. She had dressed up to attend the Games as a spectator. Suddenly, she had found herself being hustled into the arena last minute by the coach reminding her that she was going to perform some routine or other. While she embarrassingly fell almost immediately from the balance beam, Asha's teammates still showed good sportsmanship and hugged her as the judges posted the final scores.

Event Team: Tatsu
Character Names & 2-3 Sentences:
Sha -> Chioma Bloom
"I've always had a love for archery, so it is only fitting than I would take the sport up as my profession. Ever serious, I pull back my hair and wear tight clothes so that they never get in the way of my aim. It is wonderful to once again be at the Olympics with the dream of taking home another gold medal this year."

Gummy -> Harri-ette McPhee
As the rookie of the team I still have a lot to learn. Right hand? Left hand? Which one is best for holding my bow? Is both handed an option in the rules? One thing is for sure, I always wear my lucky medallion.

Damia -> Happy Banner
Happy Banner has some anger issues, but she decided to focus her frustration with archery. She has a tendency to sort of scare some of her opponents when she gives the targets names. Somehow she has ended up on the Olympic team. Hopefully she can scare off some of the opponents and get them to forfeit!
Team Sport: Archery
What's Happening in Your Event? (8-10 Sentences):
When we entered the archery field on the day of the medal awards, we didn't expect to have most of the competition scared off by a walk on archer with wild eyes and a ferocious dragon pet. Harri-ette McPhee was of course unfazed as she had brought her own dragon along to the competition to cheer her on. (The aid of her lucky medallion of course cheering her on as well.) Nor was the superstar, Chioma Bloom, deterred. She had trained for this day all her life and was back for another gold.

Needless to say, the results of the day were completely unexpected. The three of them all took medals: the walk on taking a bronze, the superstar taking the silver, and the unexpected rookie winner. Harri-ette McPhee surprised everyone with her ambidextrous win, hitting twice the number of targets compared to everyone else, and with surprisingly good aim for someone with bangs in their eyes! It was an impressive battle between the three skill sets, and what a shocking outcome! The rest of the archers left downhearted, though probably a little happy they weren't having targets named after them.

Character Names & 2-3 Sentences: BSW -> Fabiana Lightfoot
The star of the team, Fabiana is the smooth leader they always needed. Her hair sparkles in the sunlight with every drop of sweat. She has her own group of fan girls that she plays to in the games, but only from the sidelines. While she is in the game, she is focused, fast and cunning. She tries her best to be a role model for the others with a sweet smile and a resilient attitude. She is known as Goalie Lightfoot and would one day win the gold in the Olympics with her team. She just knew it.
Kent ->Alejandro Tecua
As a rookie, he tries his best to be a valuable asset to his team. He often feels like he's a burden to his teammates, but when he's on the field running as fast and as much as he can, the amount of joy he feels while playing is infectious.
Hummy ->Sydney LeRoux
Sydney LeRoux is more into stylin' and profilin'.
But this walk-on is workin' on her hocus pocus moves.
She can catch a glimpse of her glitter toe polish when she does.
Team Sport: Soccer
What's Happening in Your Event? (8-10 Sentences): They trained for months together and now they are ready to take gold. Near the end of the last half, Alejandro gets the ball and he runs like he has never run before. Dodge to the left, swerve to the right, He is almost there and Sydney is in the right place at the right time, for once. This is it, we are going to do it! He scores and the game is ours! The crowd goes wild and the team mates are running towards each other in excitement "You did it Alejandro!!!!!" Fabiana yells at the top of her lungs. They all collide as the time runs out, they won the gold medal in soccer! As they calm, they ready for team photos. Fabiana was all sweaty, but also, overwhelmed with joy, holding the winning ball. Alejandro Tecua was something else, barely able to stop moving for the photo and Sydney... well Sydney I think finally understood what soccer was all about. She stood there next to Fabianna in the net with a team dragon stuffy that someone in the audience threw down, eating a cookie that came from who knows where, and having a smoke of all things!
Entry:

Event Team: Tatsu
Character Names & 2-3 Sentences:
d129 -> Amy Topps
Amy had always loved the water. She learned to swim at a very young age and practiced as if she was training for the Olympics. It was only natural that she would become an Olympic champion for the games.

Naisou -> Astoria Pennington
Gaining the Rookie position on the team (more by Daddy's money that actual talent), Astoria is looking forward to being on TV. Glitzed out in jewels and a swim mask resembling her dragon mascot, she's more worried about getting her hair wet than actually winning. Although, such a shiny gold medal would look grand in her wardrobe....maybe her pet dragon could help propel her to the finish line...

Velvet ->Velveta "Velvet" Simperton
Velvet isn't what you would call the greatest athlete and can't swim that well. She just happened to have been kidnapped forced asked to join the team. She thought that maybe she could do it.... until she saw how the real athletes move.
Team Sport: Swimming
What's Happening in Your Event? (8-10 Sentences): Tension is high as the teams take their positions in the pool. Deep breath in, hold it, then release. Amy knows the drill and remains calm. As the buzzer sounds, she speeds off like a bullet. Astoria's style is more casual as she tries to keep her head above the water so as not to get her hair wet. Velveta just wants to stay afloat and avoid drowning. Before anyone knows where the time went, the event is over. Amy dominated and won the gold. Astoria won the silver while managing to keep her hair styled and dry, however, some of her jewelry may need to be replaced. Miraculously, Velveta earned the bronze. It must have been the will of Tatsu that aided in their victory.

Event Team: Tatsu
Character Names & 2-3 Sentences: Minuxe ->Madeleine Turnhausen
You could say that Madeleine, or "Maddy" for short, has fencing in her blood. Both of her parents and one aunt have fenced at the Olympic level, and her father manages a fencing club.
Once she grew up and experienced some success in fencing, she decided to nurture the next generation of fencers by opening a free fencing camp in her father's club. It runs for a few weeks each summer.
Leading up to the Summer Games, Maddy was the 2015 foil world champion and 2016 foil world silver medalist, so it goes without saying that she has high hopes for herself and her team.

Shini -> Terry Parry.
When Terry Parry's parents first put her into fencing classes in an effort to boost her confidence, she had resigned herself to spending several days a week panicked flailing and being poked and prodded by pointy objects. Imagine her surprise when her "panicked flailing" won her numerous championships and a ticket to the Olympics. Will she be able to stop her knees from shaking long enough to pull off a win?

Mnem -> Jill Jaxsyn
"And we have...what's your name honey?"
"Oh um...Jill, but uh where's the.."
"Jill, how do you feel living the dream and getting yourself a spot in these competitive summer games?"
"Oh I just need to know where the bath..."
"It's a terribly great honor, don't you think?"
"Well uh..yeah, sure. Oh...What's this helmet for? Thanks for the uh...stick. Where's the ba-"
"Wow, I just can't believe the competition tonight guys!" -walks off-
Team Sport: Fencing
What's Happening in Your Event? (8-10 Sentences): This team is competing in the Summer Games women's team épée event.
Terry and Maddy come from the same fencing club and have known each other for a few short years. They fully support each other and have their eyes on the podium. Unfortunately, their third team mate who was supposed to be Haley had a case of near-deadly food poisoning the day before the tournament began. This left the coach scrambling to find a replacement, and luckily he was able to find Jill who had the tiniest amount of fencing experience (and by that I mean she watched fencing on the television once a few years ago).
On the first day of the tournament Terry and Maddy felt readier than ever to take on the competition! However, Jill was so nervous about fencing for the first time that she had been out drinking all night and showed up to the tournament drunk. Terry and Maddy, shocked by Jill's drunken state, resolved to work even harder to make up for it. Their first match was against a team from Vile, which they won narrowly. Next came their match against Duval, the tournament favorites, but even though they had all worked through their jitters they lost. The following match was against Amorus, and this time you could actually see the team's determination! This was their last match of the tournament and even though medals were no longer on the line, bragging rights were. In the end their team prevailed over Amorus and the trio proudly finished the tournament in 5th place.
