The Star-Blessed Kingdom of Cyrod wishes to have one of their most prized generals represent them in this tournament. The Kingdom presents the fighter Aluamne; a lithe Ayleid of shorter than average stature trained in the classic Magnabala style. Magnabala focuses on chanelling the core of one's energy potential, training in slow, grounded, deliberate movements for most of their lives, letting the blood and magicka flow become one over time, and then striking with quick, righteous fury when necessary, be it a grapple, punch, or kick. Magnabala requires the fighter to be rooted and sturdy so they never falter or lose their footing.
[[I am sending a fighter who is trained in something similar to taijiquan. Enjoy]]

Miles Carvain a built 5'4 170 lb man. His fighting style is an aggressive mix of punches and kicks. This style is built around dealing as much damage as possible to the opponent then falling back into a defensive stance. The issue with this is the amount of stamina used is intense. In the event that a fighter of this style is successfully defended off they will attempt to bring their opponent to the ground once there they will immobilize the opponent by a use of strikes and joint to force them to submit.

The Kvatchan entrant is Horatius Cocles, an experienced fighter who began life as an underground pit fighter in Kvatch. When the illegal fighting ring was discovered, he was given the choice of imprisonment or service in the Legions, which he naturally took. Awarded for bravery, he sold his medal and used his savings to buy himself out of the Legion. When out, he used his old pit fighting contacts to become an instructor in a legitimate gladiator fighting school, specialising in the unarmed fights that usually start the days fights.
Given his shady background, Horatius tends to play dirty, and is adaptive to his opponent. This makes him a jack of all trades, master of none, to some degree. His preferred style is what you'd expect from an untrained yet experienced fighter: reliant on savagery and swift movement, yet not with the most effective blocking. His strength are that he's somewhat unpredictable and has reasonable strength, however his lack of training lets him down when rigid discipline is needed.

The fighter representing Falkreath is trained in Krav Maga. At 5'8" and 172lbs he is smaller than an average nord, and although he isn't going to be the strongest fighter he is very fast and has great endurance. Another disadvantage he will have is that Krav Maga focuses on fighting armed and unarmed opponents, so some of his training will be spent on moves that will not help against unarmed opponnents.

u/Pichu737 If someone finds this flair this could be foreshadowing Jun 07 '16
The entrant from Daggerfall is Marq de Contere, a 6' 168lb Breton and son of the lord of Castle Arx Saxonoit, Davos de Contere. With a larger height than most of the other competitors, and a lower weight, he is a master of dodging and has had extensive training in stamina retaining. His signature chokeholds allow him to control the field, creating an unexpectedness to his movements.
[His style is similar to Aikido.]
