Phase I of the 2nd Season of _The Vagabonds_ has now officially ended. Over the last 16 (or so) days have I presented eight original paintings of mine, the game being that anybody could determine the presented character with a _unique first name_, a random _positive_ trait, a random _negative_ trait and a random _Profession_ along with a superpower/weapon/artefact of his/her choice. That phase has now ended, but before moving on to the new phase, let me first present to you the eighth _Vagabond_, and what her final outcome was. And let me tell you that up till now, it was a very, _very_ fun game to host, it was a pleasure every time to see so many people coming back to play this little, weird, zany game, thank you, _thank you_! Now then, _then now!_ This was the eighth painting; the last _Vagabond_ finished _Phase I_ very much in style with a **record-breaking _16_** entries! Thank you, everybody, for joining in, there were again some _weird_ and _wicked_ combinatons made, here they all are: https://steemitimages.com/DQmV1GcB3CnF6hdxSkJJD6zPWSgSnuuwva2fZhh71arbnV4/II_8y.jpg _**Lady Abigail**, the **Energetic** but **Cruel Martial Artist** who has a **Voice that can Cut You in Two**_ by @deemarshall _**AKEUH**, the **Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep** but **Hypocritical Martial Artist,** which **Asks Science Like A Vampire**_ by @lamkuta _**Kojetc**, the **Gorgeous** but **Hypnagogic Heretic** who can get **Poison in her tongue**_ by @rizallatief _**Wizard**, and she's the **Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep** but **Indecisive Escape Artist** with **A Fireball**_ by @sudong _**Dame Жэϕєя**, she's the **Shapeshifting** but **Wishy-Washy Sniper** with her **Sinister Knicker Twister**_ by @edward.maesen _**Maria Ozama**, she the **Pokerfaced** but **Wishy-Washy Princess**, able to **Resist the Attacks of Men**_ by @anumsteemit _**Katy**, the **Ambitious** but **Wishy-Washy Heretic** and she's **Got Rockin' Death Powers**_ by @hermankpsn _**Mutia**, the **Allmighty** but **Tiresome Heretic** with her **Sword of Death**_ by @lintah _**Ladyrider**, the **Energetic** but **Wishy-Washy Heretic** and she **Has the Science of Body Rhythm when in contact with the stone and disappeared in the dark**_ by @junsusukhairi _**Kimberly**, the **Luscious** but **Cruel Sniper** and she has **Tremendous Power and a Shield to Withstand Attack**_ by @israruddin _**Zoe Saldana**, the **Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep** but **Pliant Spook** with **Sharp Legs so that the opponent is hard to guess when entering the room**_ by @tauwil _**Milla**, the **Ambitious** but **Cruel Princess** with her **Very Sword In Fear By The Enemy**_ by @asyiqa _**Florence**, the **Gorgeous** but **Pliant Timetraveller** wielding **Her Lantern of Displacement**_ by @skippyza _**Putroebungsu**, the **Gorgeous** but **Indecisive Spook** that has **Nothing**_ by @linaisna _**Lady Heinrich**, the **Rock 'n Roll** but **Tiresome Medusa** in his/her/.. **Fruitcake Dress and TheLooksToKill**_ by @fraenk _**Pwincess Sokolorkovkarshian**, the **Pokerfaced** but **Schizofrenic(!)

These _Vagabonds_ will now randomly be pitched against each other in contests/games/fights/sports. The winner goes through to the next round, until we have a final winner. You can call him/her the **Ultimate!** Vagabond. **Which ones will be pitched against each other?** The dice will determine which Vagabonds will have to play/fight/compete against each other. **Winner goes through to the next round?** We will start with 4 quarter-finals, the winners of every quarter-final will go through to 2 semi-finals, and the winners there will advance to the final, which will determine the overall-winner. **Which contests/games/fights/sports will they compete?** That's where you decide, in this very post! Make a comment with up to three (four if you're really inspired!) sports/contests/games/fights that could be played/fought/won. Preferably one-on-one contests, not group-sports! It could be **a game** (Chess/Backgammon/Monopoly, ...), **a sport** (Golf, Boxing, High-Jump, ...), **a battle** (World War II, Waterloo, Lepanto, ...), **a fight** (a direct one-on-one Pirate-fight, a 1927 Mobster-Chicago gun-shoot-out, ... ), or **anything really** (first-to-the-sea-race, tic-tac-toe, rock-paper-scissors, stacking dominoes, ...) I will put **all** suggestions in one big list and let the battle be decided for every quarter-final, semi-final, and final randomly. The first quarter-final will begin tomorrow, and will be open for entries for 24 or 48 hours, depending on my available time and number of entries. Also, every game (Q-F, S-F, Final) will be determined by your comment. Every battle/competition will have two Vagabonds competing with their strength (the chosen _positive_ trait) and weakness (the _negative_ trait) and their respective _super-power_. In the games, you can decide how the battle ensues, who's victorious and how or why you feel, according to how you interpret their respective powers/weaknesses. But that's for the next post. **For now, give me fun games/sports/fights/competitons in which these Vagabonds can compete against each other! Thank you!** I really hope I made myself clear, if you have any questions - I'm happy to answer them :) Let's make this a fun and interactive play!
