LUXURIOUS PURPLE JACKETPro-Wrestling After Dark RULESRULE #1: HAVE FUN.RULE #2: ALL CHALLENGES MUST BE MADE IN THE FORM OF A PROMO. RULE #3: AN EDIT-MAKER MAY NOT CHALLENGE FOR THE JACKET ON CONSECUTIVE SHOWS. RULE #4: I, amsterDAN, RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SWITCH UP THE RULES AT ANY TIME, ON A WHIM, IN THE NAME OF FUN. MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ISSUING OF CHALLENGESAll challenges must be made in the form of a promo or roleplay. Anyone in this community can make a challenge to the current jacketholder. You do not need prior permission from me to post a challenge in this thread; just let it rip! The moment a challenge has been approved by me, I will announce that the challenge period is CLOSED and no new challenges will be accepted until that match has been run. There is no word-count requirement; a challenge promo can be as short as a single sentence or it could be several thousand words long. Any style of roleplay is accepted, so long as it is in-character and introduces us to your edit. An edit-maker may not be the challenger in consecutive events, so if you lose a match on LPJ you must endure a one-show cooldown period before I accept another challenge from you. ADDITIONAL RULES REGARDING ENTRANTSObviously, your edit must be an original fictional creation of your own design, and available for download from the Workshop. There is no formal point limit, nor any specific rules regarding an edit’s gender, size, or fight and return style. However, I reserve the right to exclude any edit I feel would not be able to play well with others. Potential reasons for exclusion would be extremely overpowering edit point allocation or an overly offensive gimmick, for example. Seconds such as valets and managers are not only welcome, but encouraged. OUR STANDARD MATCH SETTINGS, AND WAYS IN WHICH THE JACKET MAY CHANGE HANDSAll matches will be one-on-one, one-fall affairs with no time limit, no countouts and rope breaks ON. To maximize the number of ways the cookie can crumble, disqualifications shall be left ON and Criticals will always be set to HIGH. The jacket can only be won or lost with a three-count, a submission, or a KO, and can not change hands in the event of a disqualification. If the reigning champion loses due to disqualification, a rematch will take place the following day. As the showrunner, I reserve the right to change or completely circumvent any or all of the aforementioned match rules at any time, without notice, in the name of fun. A COUPLE MORE CAVEATS- I’ll be using a pretty heavily modded game to produce the matches for LPJ. If that bothers you, buzz off. I will NOT be using any sort of booking or match pacing mod, nor anything that should cause your edits to behave in a way radically different from how they act on your own computer.
- Please do not use your promos to tack on match stipulations or add additional competitors to a match without putting it past me first. Typically, I will only consider things like triple threats, fatal four-ways and battle royals, or gimmick matches such as steel cages or exploding landmine deathmatches in the case of a long title reign that needs to reach a conclusion so others can have a crack at the jacket.
- The entire point of this exercise is to put everyone’s edits over. I’m perfectly happy to work with anyone via private message to make certain your character is portrayed in precisely the way you want them to be. If you have a particular attire you want me to use, a certain valet you want to see at ringside, or some other specific instruction that will help get your character across, let me know and I'll do my damnedest to accomodate.

An Introduction to
LUXURIOUS PURPLE JACKET Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to LUXURIOUS PURPLE JACKET Pro-Wrestling! So what in tarnation is all this supposed to be, anyways? Stick with me here. I envision LPJ as some sort of mutant mashup between Poker After Dark and Whose Line Is It Anyway? except it’s about professional wrestling, starring our fictional edits from across the Fire Pro community. It’s an idea I’ve been kicking around for several months now, and considering the recent surge of interest in community cooperation, I decided the time is ripe to put forth my own idea for a fun, low-obligation way to showcase some community edits a couple times a week. LUXURIOUS PURPLE JACKET is the pro-wrestling game show where the matches are impromptu and the title we’re fighting for doesn’t matter. There is no standing roster. Every show consists of a single match between two edits to determine the current owner of the jacket. The reigning champion can be challenged by absolutely anyone in this community whenever it’s open season. When a challenge for the jacket is made in this thread and I give it my stamp of approval, I will make every effort to post the result of the agreed upon matchup the following day. The second a new match result is posted, the reigning jacketholder is open to receive challenges, and the cycle begins anew. The longer someone’s reign as jacketholder goes, the more I as the showrunner shall conspire to see them disrobed, so that others may have an opportunity to revel in this jacket’s supreme luxuriousness. You can use LPJ as a way to introduce a new edit to the community. You can take it as an opportunity to air out an old edit who hasn’t seen any work in a while. You could try LPJ as a method to flesh out a character you’ve been struggling to develop a distinct personality for. Perhaps a guest appearance on this show could help further a storyline you have going in your own e-fed. It could be a place to simply keep yourself entertained while you have some time to kill between other events. It can be an opportunity to see what an edit-maker you’re unfamiliar with has got going on. Maybe you don’t have the time in your busy life to operate or participate in a full-on e-fed, but still have the itch. Perhaps an edit belonging to a friend of yours is performing in LPJ, and you just want to jump in and snipe them right quick. It’s a game you can come and go from as you please, and every time you want to play it’ll only take a couple minutes of work on your end and then you can be on your merry way once again. What sets LPJ apart is the requirement that all challenges be made in the form of an in-character promo, or roleplay. It could be something as simple as a single-sentence fake tweet calling out the current champion, or a succinct three-minute speech like the Gettysburg Address, or something as elaborate as a short story several pages in length. It could be in the form of a press release or a movie script or a battle rap. Hell, you could write the whole thing in haiku. It doesn’t necessarily even need to be written, if you really want to go crazy on it. It’s entirely up to you which way you approach it. But this is your opportunity to give the rest of the community a little glimpse into your edit’s personality (as well as your own), and to provide a tiny bit of context going into their match. The more effort you put into making your challenge, the more interesting your match will be for all involved, since our imaginations will have other things to chew on and it won’t just be a meaningless bout between two random wrestlemen anymore. Most importantly, I just want to emphasize this one point: This is a game. You should be here to have FUN. I will not tolerate anyone taking LUXURIOUS PURPLE JACKET seriously. Anybody found in violation of this rule will be immediately and unceremoniously disrobed and politely escorted out of the penthouse. With all that out of the way, I’d like to immediately get the ball rolling and get us halfway to our first match by introducing one of my own edits as the first challenger for the currently unmanned jacket. (Knowing myself, this will be an example of a fairly long roleplay. Do not feel pressured to match its length; a far shorter promo will do just fine.) This guy represents my personal pro-wrestling conglomerate the Independent Wrestling Empire, and he is my reigning i.W.e. World Heavyweight champion and a two-time former OFW Transnational champ, “The Palo Alto Playboy” Bradley Banks! Take it away, Bradley... |

*A blonde-haired and immensely muscular man in purple wrestling tights sits on a stool in some dingy old pro-wrestling locker room. He’s using a hand mirror to admire his own reflection, constantly turning his head from side to side, pouting his lips and tossing his hair to and fro. He seems to really like what he sees. That there is Bradley Banks. He’s the reigning i.W.e. World Heavyweight champion. Behind him stands a very beautiful and very bored-looking blonde woman in a tight, revealing purple dress. Her name’s Euphrosine Beauchamont. Sometimes she’s his fiancee and a lot of the time she isn’t. When she realizes Bradley hasn’t taken his eyes off the mirror long enough to even notice the camera, she elbows him between the shoulderblades.*BB: Oh! Hello there. I’m sure my many, many admirers all across this sexy globe are probably wondering what exactly my interest is in this allegedly luxurious jacket that’s up for grabs. To be honest with you, I’m pretty sure that dinky little thing would split at the seams if I ever actually tried to put it on. Doesn’t exactly look tailored to fit enormous, drool-inducing pythons like these bad boys here. *Bradley sets the hand mirror aside and flexes his biceps, and it looks as though he’s probably right about the jacket being unable to actually, physically contain his impressive bodybuilder’s physique.*BB: So why am I trying to win this jacket then, if I won’t even be able to wear it? Well, anyone that knows the first thing about the Palo Alto Playboy knows that if there’s one thing I love - aside from myself, of course - it is the color purple. Look at my wrestling tights. Look at my girlfriend. You can go outside and find my Lexus in the parking lot; you better believe that bad boy’s purple too. So maybe I’ll take the jacket and wrap my loins with it like a codpiece, or maybe I’ll just take it to the gym and use it as a sweat rag. One way or another, I’m adding this jacket to my comprehensive collection of pretty purple things, once we find some unlucky loser to step into the ring with me. So come on, who’s it gonna be?

And with our inaugural promo out of the way, I hereby declare challenge season... So who's gonna take on 'The Palo Alto Playboy' Bradley Banks in hopes of winning the very first wearing of the LUXURIOUS PURPLE JACKET? It could be one of your very own edits looking fly as all get-out in this immaculate garment, if you're quick enough on the draw! |

A genius idea.
All in the name of fun.
I'm a PS4 player so I cannot enter. I'll watch/read when I can though.

El Experto Issues His Challenge
El Experto: (Translated from Spanish) <Those who know wrestling know that I hold many honors. They know that the name of El Experto is beyond question. I have shown Santana Family Wrestling this. I have shown the Santanas and that fake weakling Salvador Sosa that they are cheap imitations of the legitimacy that I personify. In my decades of wrestling, I won many titles, belts, trophies, masks, every honor I could win, I have won! I have won in Mexico, in Japan, in the United States, in the Dominican Republic, in the United Kingdom! I am the International Luchador! But one thing I have not won, anywhere I have gone, is a jacket. And I think a jacket would be a fine prize for an Expert of the Ring such as myself.>
Experto: <It is like that golf tournament, the Masters. They hand the winner a very nice green jacket, and they wear that to tell everyone that they are the very best in the world at hitting a golf ball. I do not need the jacket to tell me that I am great. That is beyond question. But I would like it anyway. Now. I look at this man, Bradley Banks. He is big and muscled. But it appears that he only works out for his body, and neglects the brain. I am an expert! That means I am not just in amazing physical shape, not just for my age, but for any. It means that I also have a well-trained mind! I can outsmart or outfight anyone! And Bradley Banks, perhaps you do defeat me in an arm wrestling contest…but this is not arm wrestling! This is the game of professional wrestling, and if you are not ready for all variables, you are worthless! And I will show you and everyone why you are not deserving of this fine purple jacket, and why it belongs around the shoulders of none other than El Experto!>

With our first match officially in the books and posted above, I am proud to announce that the challenge period is once again... So come on. Give the last match a gander so you're certain of who holds the jacket, then let a roleplay rip! It's my weekend, so I oughta be able to crank some quality clashes out quickly. Who thinks they can dethrone/disrobe the current champ? |

INT., A TANNING SALON.AN OILED UP BEEF MCHUGEBULK LAYS ON AN OPEN TANNING BED, COMPLETELY NUDE SAVE FOR A MINISCULE SPEEDO AND TINY LITTLE TANNING GOGGLES.
HE STARES INTO THE CAMERA FOR A FEW MOMENTS BEFORE SITTING UP AND RIPPING OFF THE GOGGLES.
BEEF:
So word has it there's some new playboy on the block? Or even if he isn't new, he's new to me, and I'm the only one whose opinion matters around here, so if he's new to me, he's new, dammit.
ANYWAY. Point is there's some oiled-up impostor prancing around with a purple jacket acting like HE is God's gift to women—to wrestling; no, the world. When Beef McHugeBulk, the beefiest, hottest dude in all of professional wrestling has been here all along, stealing wins and hearts all over the world.
Here's the thing, Banks: you're good. You're swole. You're jacked. You're oily. BUT DO YOU WEAR ENOUGH OIL THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN WEAR THAT LUXURIOUS PURPLE JACKET? I BET NOT. THAT'S WHAT A SWOLE PLAYBOY DOES. When he isn't beating chumps in the ring and stealing your girlfriends, he's getting his tan on. He's—
THE CAMERA PANS OUT AS BEEF SUGGESTIVELY GYRATES.
perfecting...
his...
moves.
THIS, BANKS, IS A PERSONAL AFFRONT TO THE NAME "PLAYBOY." Because there is only one TRUE playboy deserving of that jacket IN THE ENTIRE WORLD OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING. He is the Beefiest. He is the Bulkiest. He is Beef McHugeBulk and he's gonna give that jacket a home it rightfully deserves.
BEEF PUTS THE GOGGLES BACK ON AND LIES BACK DOWN BEFORE SOMEONE COMES IN TO CLOSE THE TANNING BED FOR HIM AND THE SHOT FADES TO BLACK.
Loveeeeee this. So much. If you choose to use Beef, please use Ginuwine's "Pony" for his entrance theme song. Also let me know when the match will happen just so I can give him a quick check on stats/params/logic. I wouldn't boost him to win or some such, just make sure he isn't too "fuck around-y in large damage.
Again: love love love this. Excited to see all the wonderful things this brings.

BEEF McHUGEBULK vs BRADLEY BANKS POST-MATCH*After several irritating minutes of obnoxious muscle-flexing - his typical post-match celebration - Bradley Banks pauses to glance down at Beef McHugeBulk, who is still lying flat on his back on the mat, staring up at the ceiling with an expression of mild disappointment. Bradley kneels down and offers him a hand. Beef initially eyes it with suspicion but eventually accepts, and Bradley helps him to his feet.*
*Now both standing, the two look each other over for several tense moments, eyeing one another warily. Bradley finally breaks the silence.*
BB: My god you’re gorgeous.
BEEF: I was about to say the exact same thing.
*They both smile and exchange an elaborate bro-handshake. Afterwards, they take turns striking bodybuilder poses while the other stands back and looks on admiringly. This goes on for several sickening minutes.*
BB: Yo bro, I was gonna go slam a protein shake or two, then hit up this sweet tanning salon downtown. Care to join me?
BEEF: That’s pretty much what I already had planned for the evening. Let’s go, my bro.
*They do that complicated handshake one more time, then climb out of the ring and leave together, chatting and chuckling jovially. They completely forget about Bradley’s fiancee Euphrosine, who they simply leave standing at ringside with an expression of major annoyance on her face.*
