Supporting Characters
The Apprentice - One of the two Grandmasters of this battle, and a student of the Controller. He is clearly making an effort to copy his teacher. He starts this battle at The Controller's bidding.

The Controller - The host of The Gradual Massacre. He is brutal and sadistic. He is cohosting this battle with his student, The Apprentice. It seems he is determined to make this battle even more brutal than usual.

Round 1 - Circumlocution
Dead Character: Cthaasa

This is an MSPAFA Round set in Superfrequency's Circumlocution. It is an area of countryside near an abandoned warehouse. One stipulation of this round is that the auto-translation that allows the contestants to communicate has not been activated.

Round 2 - Oh Two Oh
Dead Characters: Mr Saturday and Encyclopaedia

This round is set upon a pair of conjoined spaceships (AMV-020 and the Jewel) that are havens for criminals. They are like a bazaar but in space. They are very harsh on theives. Each contestant is given an objective: to obtain an item known only to them.

Round 3 - Ark of Hope
Incomplete

A ship whose formal name is the SS Northern Currents, sailing the seas of a post-nuclear-apocalypse wasteland. Something about the ship keeps the people onboard from dying of radiation poisoning, which they quickly do anywhere else. This might be due to the Ark of the Gods, an artifact which is onboard and can purportedly only be opened by those with the power of a deity behind them. The Ark of Hope is led by a man named Alvarez.
