Red Balloon Wrestling (RBW) is a monthly fed that features a tournament-like series of gimmick matches where the only way to win is to survive. There will be 3-4 episodes per season with one episode released per month. Each episode can feature one big match involving the entire roster or several smaller matches. This depends on the number of signups and the story direction. Every show will end with a cliffhanger that may hint at what happens in the next round.
All shows are streamed live via the “Red Balloon Wrestling” YouTube channel and every broadcast ends abruptly — POP!
Signups will open for a week before the next show card drops
When you sign up, your character will be booked throughout the entire season for continuity (unless the roster gets too big). So if you have an OOC reason to drop out mid-season, let me know and we can figure out a way to do it IC (though I do hope you can stay at least till the end of the season).
With every card release, I would pose a question and you can either answer in a segment or tweet (please tag @RedByDaylight so I don’t miss it). E.g. The question from Ep 1 was “Would you risk your life for a stranger?” This helps me understand your character's attitude and personality.
Segments are not mandatory but you are more than welcome to do it and write in any style you want (interview, promo etc). Note that RBW runs their shows in various arenas that may not always include an audience and in terms of realism, certain boundaries may be pushed to achieve the dark horror fantasy sorta vibe.
There are also no known staff members so if you want to invent one for your segments (maybe as an interviewer or camera crew and other roles like this), keep them vague, dark and mysterious ;)
Tag teams and factions are welcome to join but be warned that they may be split up to participate in singles matches. But such alliances will be taken note of during the shows and may become their advantage over other participants. This applies to all friendships and other relationship types amongst singles characters.
Our main vibe is cinematic horror where the boundaries of realism are often pushed. There may even be elements of the supernatural and fantasy so if your characters are in multiple feds, you can choose to sell how much of the injuries actually affect them without having to need an out from their next scheduled match outside of RBW. Unless you want to, of course.
Though segments are not mandatory, please at least show some IC activity or RT the shows so I know you still want to be around.
