It's still a work-in-progress, but I'm thinking this is the best place to talk about my story as it is heavily influenced by Skullgirls.

[ STORY ]

Ever since anyone could remember, the Heartsbane has been around. This item is hunted down greatly by many, as it can grant the person's deepest desire (whether they know it or not) and gives them great power. But there's a price, as they become a Heartsbane as well and become a target for those who want to use the item's powers for themselves.
Over time, these new Heartsbane become stronger and soon a competition was created where they face eachother in a huge arena in front of billions of people. Whether the goal is for fame, fortune, or to just mindlessly see another Heartsbane meet their end, this competition is very well-known and basically everything in the world centers around it and its events.
When a new and powerful Heartsbane shows up, the competition is thrown into a frenzy and it seems that the whole thing might fall apart. So, both citizens and contestants all fight to defeat this new foe and get the competition back on track.

- What is a Heartsbane? -

They are ageless beings that have amazing powers that surpass any species.
Their key feature is that they have the '+' symbol in their eyes, but other than that they can have any other features.
They have at most 2 different Elements, but that's extremely rare and reserved for Half-Heartsbane.
They also have 5 stages, ranging from Beginning (100% health) to Complete (1% Health).
Once they are killed, their body melts and all that's left is their Core.
Their Core is a flaming skull, with the color representing their Element (if they have 2 then the color represents more powerful one).
The 'winner' can take their power, and become a Heartsbane with a power similar to the one they killed but varies to fit their fighting style/personality.

Thanks to the tournament, the defeated Heartsbane are taken away and put into jars...the reason why is unknown, but it's believed that it's to make sure a super-powered Heartsbane isn't born through the Tournament.

Half-Heartsbane (1 Heartsbane and 1 other species parent) are rare, but are becoming more common and they more commonly have 2 Elements thus are way more tough to beat.
They do still age, but very slowly and can be put to sleep for years to maintain their 'physical age' if they so wish.
They have one eye with a '+', and one without (this can be either eye).

Also, recently there have been some Fake Heartsbane which are said to be zombies that were experimented on and given a Core so they could fight in the Tournament (or for other reasons).
Not much other is known about them, other than that they can regenerate very quickly and can dismember their bodies with ease.
They have a single line in their eye (horizontal or vertical), and have a black outer area as well as having black 'veins' that appear around certain parts of their body (fingers, toes, eyes, chest/belly, forehead, etc) sometimes in multiple places.
They have no mind of their own and are considered puppets, but they do have some semblance of their old selves which will show up in their attacks.
They attack Heartsbane, swallowing their Core in search of the true Heartsbane and becoming a whole being.

The true Heartsbane is not currently known, but it's said that if it's destroyed then the Earth itself will collapse and all Heartsbane will die (well the ones that had become one directly from it so Fake and Half Heartsbane are safe).
Also, anyone who absorbs it will become the most powerful being ever and Half/Fake Heartsbane need it to be a whole being.
Once it's absorbed, the Earth is thankfully still 'safe' from collapsing but no one gets anymore wishes granted.
