Basically they has to be purely human. No fancy armor getups, or magic rings. I'm looking for people who rely on physical and mental skills available to a normal, real world human being. Cyborgs are out as well. I don't care where you find them though. Movies, cartoons, anime are all acceptable mediums.

So if they have magical/hi-tech weapons that's ok?

I would judge them on a case by case basis there. Han Solo with his blaster, yes. Han with the Millenium Falcon, no. Luke Skywalker, not happening.

Maguined

I demand Jayne Cobb the hero of Canton.

... with Vera, he can't lose!

cyberwolf77

Excellent suggestion Maguined. He be in.

RolandIRL

Roland Deschain (Dark Tower series) with his guns of course
Teela Brown (from the Ringworld books) - extremely lucky

i'll think of some more, i'm sure.

mrmac

Sam Fisher - Splinter Cell
Alice - Resident Evil

mrmac

Princess Leiya??

Elektra
The Bride - aka Uma Thurman - Kill Bill
Sláine - 2000AD comic

cyberwolf77

Roland and Sam qualify. Alice and Teela however are questionable. Teela has a demonstrated psionic ability and Alice is more than likely metahuman.

Jedi, so no.

Elektra

Known psionic abilities apparently

The Bride - aka Uma Thurman - Kill Bill

Oh, hell yeah!

Sláine - 2000AD comic

Warp spasm power disqualifies him.

mrmac

John Connor - Terminator.

No Slaine!
/damn, knows way too much about 2000AD!

edit: Ripley - Alien movies.

cyberwolf77

I like John for this one as his mother was in the Humanitas tournament.
I will also allow Ripley provide it is understood she will be taken from a time before she acquired Xenomorph traits.(Pre-Resurection)

Maguined

I can't believe no one has yet to mention James Tiberius Kirk?

mrmac

John McClaine (sp) - Die Hard.
Dutch - aka Arnold Schwart-dude - Predator.

mrmac

Just having a coffee, and a few more have sprung to mind!

Rocky Balboa
Indiana Jones
Zoro
Maximus Dec 'da' mus Meridius (sp) - Gladiator
King Leonidas - bad ass Spartan!

Speaking of bad ass Spartans, what about Master Chief John-117?

Going to start the supper, and think of some more "role-models".

How about Buffy and Cap America? They're human technically. :pac:

mrmac

Thought of some more!

Gordon Freeman - Half-life.
Aragorn - LOTR.
Altar or Altair (sp?) - Assassins Creed.
Rikimaru & (sigh) Aiyame (sp?) - Tenchu stealth assassins.
Bad A$$ slice & dicer from Ninja Gaiden, just can't think of his name???
Daniel Craig - 007
Mr. Blonde - Reservoir Dogs
Hannibal Lecter - Mr. "Chianti".
Corleone - Godfather.
Lex Luthor - Superman
Harry Mason - Original Silent Hill game (fan-freaky-tastic!)

That's it for now.
Trying to think of more butt kicking ladies!

edit: what about F.D. Roosevelt?
Responsible for 100K deaths at Horoshima!
Or Adolf Hitler, sent millions to their death.

Delirium

Shang Chi.



Totally human, has had battles with Thing from Fantastic Four as well as Spiderman. He'd easily be one of the best human fighters in the marvel universe.


EDIT: also Nomad from captain America comics, was thinking of the Edward Ferbel version.

Delirium

Conan?

master chief is kinda out of it. he's a bit cybernetic and has had physical augments as well.

Ryu Hayubusa is the one you're thinking of from ninja gaiden.

Lara Croft? she's got great...eh...guns

Galvasean

Alice - Resident Evil

I think she's genetically engineered. Plus she's got psychic powers.

Delirium

Batroc

Buffy is demon-powered, and Cap started a bit too much trouble during the last humans only tournament

Otis Driftwood

Seeing as there are no kung fu heros on the list I give you,


Bruce Lee,nuff said.


Sonny Chiba AKA The Streetfighter,Bruce Lee's more bad ass cousin.


Ogami Itto,legendary swordsman from the Lone Wolf and Cub Series.


Pei Mei,best known from Kill Bill but the charector has appeared in countless kung fu movies.

reallyrose

I have no idea what this Tournament or thread is about. How about an explanation of the rules for the bewildered?

I try to avoid using real people alive or dead. I will take the Lone Wolf though

Take a look at those and then stop back and ask any questions you wish.

RolandIRL

Scott Pilgrim.
Ryu Hayabusa (sp?)
Rachel from the same series (though i think she has a blood curse giving her a bit of extra strength)

cyberwolf77

Hey if Scott Pilgrim can face down the league of Evil Exes he should fit in well here

Delirium

Diamondback (Rachel Leighton version)




Batgirl (Cassandra Cain)



Boomslang



Fer-de-Lance

EDIT: and possibly the assassin from Assassins Creed?
