FireStar Holder

Hailey Winters

The Red Opal

FireStar

At the end of Diamond Quest XI, a new rank came into being in the Outback. The six that placed highest among the seventeen competitors took home gems that night, only one of them was the coveted diamond.

There has been speculation far and wide about what the opals actually are, or what purpose or power they serve. All we know for sure is that it is a highly competitive title among those in the Duel of Fists, obtained only by those willing to pit their skills against the best of the best. Each of the rocks conveys certain small powers to the fighters who hold them, what follows are the details of FireStar and the combatants to have carried it.

Minor Power

Firebuilding - This power can create small amounts of fire no bigger then an average cook-fire. The flame can be projected up to a range of about five feet. It can be used to burn through ropes, light cigars, or heat a section of the room.

Major Power

Flamestrike - This gives the user the ability to create a large force of flame that can encircle his or her body. Punching forward with the intensity of this flame can possibly cause damage to one's opponent.

Extended Powers

The opals were shattered during the 100th Diamond Quest and brought back together during the 101st. With the reforging, the opals are more powerful than ever, though no longer keen to lend their gifts to just anyone unless doing so fits with their schemes. Quite often, they demand an exchange for what they share and leave their mark upon the user in return.

FireStar’s brash and excitable personality fits neatly with its raw power. Combative, strong and eager to explore other planes of existence, FireStar constantly pushes the envelope of possibility. The red Opal’s holders can call fire from the skies and manipulate flames like clay but can also, by harnessing their anger and rage, access valuable objects or creatures from other planes to do their bidding...those who use this ability too many times may find themselves consumed by unfettered fury, incapable of expressing other emotion.

Hailey Winters     2024-10-17 - Present   ( 162 days )

♦ 10-17-24 With the stated intent to get some experience in high pressure matches under her belt, Hailey Winters set her sights on FireStar for her first challenge. Only two days later in the unforgiving heat of the Boiler, she proved she had the resolve to go the distance. Nero was first on the board, soon to be tied with Hailey by the second round when she landed a risky kick. She tripled down, kicking her way to 3-1 and getting defensive right on time to reach match point before Nero could interrupt with a stiff punch. Using the environment to her advantage, she deftly evaded a follow up kick by going up and over, ending the first match in her favor. That punch turned out to be the defender’s last point of the night. Hailey slipped around another punch to tag Nero with an elbow in the first round of the second match. She pressed the offensive, blazing right through the next five rounds uncontested to claim the second fight in a perfect shut out. In two matches, 5-2 in 7 and 5-0 in 5, Hailey Winters won her first Opal, FireStar.

Nero Zhir     2022-11-26 - 2024-10-17   ( 691 days )

♦ 11-26-2022 After the Fall All-Ranks Tournament, Nero received a challenge grant from Morgan LaFey and proceeded to challenge Nayun for FireStar. Stating it was a necessity and nothing else the challenge was issued and Nayun declared that she would fight any opponent who offered a worthy sport. The opening rounds on the night had the challenger claiming two points clean in a combo. The lead would be short lived before Nayun responded with two more points to tie the score up. The lead shifted one point in the challenger's favor before Nayun struck back once more and then found match point with a swift evasion. Nero dodged her next kick sending it to Sudden Death where they postured for several more rounds on a ledge before Nero claimed the first match in a narrow victory. The second match would prove to be the opposite right out the gate: adapting to the previous match Nayun reveled in the pressure and thrill and opened the gate out to a three point unanswered lead in three rounds. As in the previous bout, Nero struggled back finding two points to answer Nayun's rally. She would score once more to bring herself to match point. The challenger would get one back before Nayun closed the curtain on this second match with a sweep of her own. The third and final bout was fought in the pond where both fighters had effectively given up one arm; Nayun scored in the opening round and that would the be the final point she took on the night. In the following six rounds Nero took five unanswered points and provide the outlier on the evening. In three bouts, 5-4 in 11, 5-3 in 9 and 5-1 in 7, Nero claimed FireStar.
♦ 2-20-2023 With a coin flipped an answer would be soon given.. IceDancer or FireStar, IceDancer or FireStar — and FireStar was chosen. Mira Burke issued challenge for the Fire Opal's holder and soon defender Nero Zhir, with the latter not too thrilled. Nero offered Mira a chance to simply rescind but the challenger rebuffed, stating that her resolve has never been stronger; a statement that was proven wrong by the challenge night results. While the first of two matches began on Mira's favor it would be Nero's own resolve that overpowered his opponent as a tie in the eighth round saw the scales of sudden death tip in his corner in the ninth. This victory cemented Mira's fate, as Nero dominated in the following match by only allowing his opponent a single round before finishing with a 5 - 1 victory in eight.
♦ 5-20-2023 The second to challenge Nero would be the bold Droet. At first he thought to challenge another Opal, perhaps to taste the power of something new instead of his old partner FireStar. It could have very well been like the drawing of a moth to a flame but the challengers choice was made and the written challenge posted to the board; FireStar was calling. As the challenge night came and passed the prophecy spoken by Nero should have been heeded: "You should have waited". Nero's second defense came much like the first, in two matches, with the first being a 5 - 3 victory in 11 rounds while the second was much more closer in sudden death — yet that is where Nero's fire blazed as he achieved victory once more to close out the defense with a 5 - 4 in 8 finish.
♦ 01-20-2024 “You need to harden your resolve,” came Nero’s consistent refrain when Kruger “The Anvil” Allen posted his challenge for FireStar in service of a personal journey. Ever the showman, The Anvil arrived at gunpoint, painted gold and dragging a war-torn globe behind him to test his mettle in the Boiler. In the first match, Nero reach three points in three rounds with only one sacrificed to a trade. Kruger managed a clean point, but with Nero holding onto the lead, the following two trades were not enough to claim the first. A punch to the throat started the bloodier second match, putting Nero on a defensive backfoot while he struggled to regain composure. With the score at 3-1 and a trade in the next round, Nero closed the gap to 4-3 with a timely upper cut, but it was Kruger’s superman punch that made him the first challenger to force a third match. Nero proved to be the more resolute in the end and surrendered only a single point in the third match. At 5-4 in seven, 3-5 in nine, and 5-1 in six, Nero secured this third defense of the red Opal.
♦ 06-05-2024 Eager to climb into the upper echelon of Duel of Fists ranks and begin her collection of the Opals, Gillette Brook chose FireStar as her first target. Nero readily accepted, and the two met a week and change later to settle the red Opal’s fate. Nero landed the first point in match one, and though Gillette tied the score in the next round with a jab, it would be her last point earned. The second match began much like the first, alternating between Nero and Gillette scoring points respectively. A flashy jump-kick from Gillette saw them tied at 2-2 before a trade of blows brought them to 3-3. Nero pulled ahead in the next two rounds with some defensive maneuvering to secure his second win. In two consecutive matches at 5-1 in 6, and 5-3 in 7, Nero kept his grasp firmly on FireStar.
♦ 09-03-2024 After taking a shot at IceDancer a couple months earlier and emerging empty handed, Kruger “The Anvil” Allen circled back around for another shot at FireStar. Nero accepted, citing interest in his challenger’s development since their last bouts. The first match was a swift and precise affair. Nero went low around The Anvil’s defense, setting the train of consecutive points into motion that ensured the Opal holder would be the first, and only one on the board. Though Nero caught first blood again, the second match proved to be a muddier fight. Tricky moves, defensive posturing, Nero’s flaring temper and a see-saw lead brought the match to an extended sudden death lasting three whole rounds before The Anvil ended it with a straight punch, and took the second. The final match went as quickly as the first, with Nero scoring three unanswered points before The Anvil claimed one in the fourth. It, and a trade, would be the only points the Opal allowed from his opponent before closing it out. In three matches, 5-0 in 6, 4-5 in 14, and 5-2 in 6, Nero successfully defended FireStar for the fifth time.

Nayun     2022-08-02 - 2022-11-26   ( 116 days )

♦ 08-01-22 Eager to test the young opal holder’s skill, Nayun stepped out to challenge Reign for the fiery opal and the two fought in the Outback a few days after acceptance with a burger spread fit for a King! Mind you it was catered by King Burger, which seemed fitting for a young Baron and Opal holder named Reign. With Reign winning the first match 5 to 4 in 12 rounds and Nayun following up with a win of her own of 5 to 3 in 6, the pair pressed on to a third and final match to decide the outcome. In the final match, Nayun scored 4 points unanswered before Reign started her comeback train, but in the end it was Nayun who would close out the match with a score of 5 to 2 in 9 rounds and claim hold of the hotly contested opal!

Reign     2022-05-14 - 2022-08-02   ( 80 days )

♦ 05-14-22 Five duelers entered the Duel of Fists' Spring All-Ranks Tournament, which was a Double or Nothing event in a Round Robin format! Gren, Reign, Doran, Droet and Kheldar each fought four matches had ample opportunity to get and give bruises! In the first round, Gren watched as Reign narrowly edged Kheldar 5-4 while Droet bested Doran 5-3. Gren then got into the ring against Reign, who again earned a slim 5-4 victory while Doran entered the win column over Kheldar, 5-2. Round 3 saw Doran go on a small win-streak as he defeated Gren 5-2, while Kheldar again lost 5-4, this time to Droet. Droet then went on to edge out Gren, 6-5 while Reign came out on top of a one-point victory (5-4) for the third time on the night, this one coming at Doran's expense. The fifth and final round pitted Reign against Droet and this time, Reign's margin of victory was much larger than her prior matches (5-1) and Kheldar came out on top of Gren, 5-3. When all was said and done, Reign ended the tournament with a 4-0 record and claimed FireStar as her prize!

(vacant)     2022-04-18 - 2022-05-14   ( 26 days )

Melanie     2022-04-02 - 2022-04-18   ( 16 days )

♦ 04-02-22 It'd been a long road for Melanie, who'd first challenged for FireStar 9 years prior (her most recent challenge coming in 2019 against Koyliak VanDuran-Simon). In all, Melanie had made four overall attempts to win the red opal, only one of which lasted more than 2 challenge rounds. This challenge lasted three fights, but this time, two went in the Mandalorian's favor. All three duels were short and each ended with identical scores; Droet started the night with a 5-2 in 7 victory, but Melanie then won 5-2 in 6 and 5-2 in 7 to finally take possession of the red opal!
♦ 04-18-22 On April 18th, 2022, Melanie became inactive in the sport and was stripped of FireStar. The Duel of Fists staff decided to enter the red opal as a prize in the upcoming Spring All Ranks tournament.

Droet the Bold     2021-11-04 - 2022-04-02   ( 149 days )

♦ 11-04-2021 Referring to himself in the first person as his "badass self", Droet challenged Rachael for the coveted FireStar opal on the grounds that she held the longest present reign without a challenge. Taking no strife with Droet's reasons or honesty, Rachael accepted the proverbial gauntlet and the two would meet for what would prove to be an exciting night. As most fiery contests begin, this one would prove to be no different, a bang commenced the brawl as Rachael scored on a kick. With intermittent rounds of both fighters trying to wrap their heads around one another Rachael would prove to be the victor in the first half of the match accruing a solid 3-1 lead. However her success would soon grind to a halt as the challenger began to rally back a kick powered by much bravado cut his deficit in half before a punishing jab from the Opal would put his back against the wall. In an impressive display, Droet fought back to sudden death before decisively ending the first match in his favor clawing back three unanswered points. Not to be outdone they would deliver a second more contested fight next. As the first began so did the second with Rachael claiming first blood. In a span of one less round she found herself with yet another early established lead of 3-1. In the next four rounds our challenger managed to equalize at match point with Rachael giving us yet another sudden death. One final exchange set the stage for Droet to secure the victory with the same kick that opened the match. In two match victories at the counts of 5-4 in 10 and 6-5 in 10 Droet would claim FireStar for his own.

Rachael Blackthorne     2021-06-16 - 2021-11-04   ( 141 days )

♦ 06-16-21 Marking a first for her career and the sport Rachael came forth and challenged Karma for the FireStar Opal. The Opal challenge coincided with the same pair dueling for the Tower of Fire on the Isle, which occurred the night prior, making the two bound in the histories as one of the more exciting pairings in recent history. Both of the combatants came out to settle the score and the first fight saw one of the fighters erupt in a blaze of momentum. For the first five rounds Rachael absolutely set fire to the ring scoring four unanswered points in an explosive lead. Karma was able to get herself on the board in the sixth round but was incapable of finding her footing as Rachael secured the first with a potent punch winning 5-1 in 8. The second match would prove to be far more dramatic as both fighters opened with a trade. Rachael managed to pull ahead by a two point lead within the next two rounds before Karma got one back. In a repeat of the opening round the two traded once more in Rachael's favor getting her to match point. Karma followed up with a low sweep to secure herself sudden death and possibly force a round three. The next round was a stroke of fortune or mis as there was a lull in the action. The last round came as Rachael seized her moment and ducked to her first challenge victory in the sport. In two matches with scores of 5-1 in 8 and 5-4 in 9, Rachael turned a corner in her career and chiseled it in the stone of Duel of Fists histories, I am here and I am your Pyro Master.
♦ 07-09-21 As a surprise to virtually none in Rhy'Din, the first test Rachael would receive on behalf of the quest for FireStar would be a challenge from one, Anubis Karos. The two agreed to meet and settle the affair with a one-sided opener to the challenge. Challenger Anubis came out swinging and aside from one clean shot from Rachael in the third round, Anubis ran the fight finding five full points clean in nine rounds. The second installment started in a similar flash as Anubis gained a quick two point lead in two rounds. Only this time he would be met with a stark opposition; Rachael rallied back and scored four unanswered points consecutively to tip this sequel to match point in six rounds. Some fancy footwork got Anubis one back before Rachael secured the equalizer with a threaded jab. The third and final match of the challenge saw an inversion of the first. The two came out with an exchange of blows and from there it was lights out. Rachael set fire to the ring and scored on each of the five rounds of the bout securing her first Opal defense in her reign of FireStar. The defense came in three bouts with scores of 1-5 in 9, 5-3 in 8 and 5-1 in 5.

Strawberry     2021-04-08 - 2021-06-16   ( 69 days )

♦ 04-08-21 For cryptic and uncertain reasons known only to herself Karma challenged Eden for possession of FireStar. Both fighters met to decide the fate of the red opal and in two matches found it changing hands. The first match began with Karma claiming first blood with a swift punch. She found herself on the receiving end of Eden's reciprocation and soon exchanged blows to keep the score even. Both fighters spent multiple rounds trying to find each other's openings. Karma struck again and soon doubled up on her score to find match point. Eden was able to wrestle a point back before Karma finished the first match with a devastating uppercut. The second would prove to be a match with greater degrees of separation between the two. Karma caught fire and never quite looked back. After finding her first point as she had in the opening round prior, she scored three more unanswered before ending the match in an exchange of punches. Karma wins FireStar in two duels, 5-3 in 10 and 5-1 in 6.

Eden Parker     2020-10-27 - 2021-04-08   ( 163 days )

♦ 10-27-20 Hot off the heels of Jiggly's acquisition of FireStar, Eden proved eager for the chance to claim the Opal for her own. Starting out hot the challenger and incumbent traded for a start. In the likeness of the prize itself Eden tore through the next few rounds fast and furious to secure herself the first bout on the night. Not to follow suit, Jiggly decided to heat things up in the next bout. Fierce and first to strike, Jiggly ran the show in the second bout utilizing some old tricks and some new ones from the aid of the Opal to strike back at Eden, evening the bout count. The third and final bout saw the challenger coming out hot again. She held her lead until Jiggly got one back bringing the contest closer. After a clean hit and then a trade Eden managed to secure the Opal from Jiggly in three fights, two being lopsided in either direction. With scores of 5-2 in 5, 5-1 in 6 and 5-3 in 10 Eden was victorious in her FireStar challenge, claiming the Opal.
♦ 01-13-21 Seeking to "christen the new year with blood", Anubis Karos challenged for his favorite Opal, FireStar. With smells of pizza wafting through the Outback and spurring Eden to fight quickly in order to consume the tasty treats, she defeated Anubis 5-2 in the first match, which lasted eight rounds. The second match took longer (11 rounds) and featured a rare double-spinkick round but when faced with a 4-4 Sudden Death scenario, Eden threw an uppercut to knock Anubis down, defend FireStar, and pave the way for pizza consumption!

Jigglypuff     2020-10-03 - 2020-10-27   ( 24 days )

♦ 10-03-20 Jigglypuff attended the 103rd Diamond Quest and after finding a victory in the first round had to brawl her way through the Elimination bracket. She fought and defeated: Koyliak, Kheldar, Eden and Salvador before eventually facing off against Mallory in the finals. Unfortunately Jigglypuff fell short of the grand prize of the night but walked away with FireStar- or as Jiggly would put it, "Jiggly!" (translation: dessert)!

Gloria Blaze     2019-11-25 - 2020-09-08   ( 288 days )

♦ 11-25-19 Gloria Blaze, the reigning ArchMage, expressed a desire to study the red opal and thus issued challenge to Koy. Gloria handily won the challenge in two straight matches with scores of 5-1 & 5-2.
♦ 05-04-20 After receiving a challenge grant from Tass, Karma 'Strawberry' Armstrong chose to challenge for FireStar, with the toss of a coin. It was a well contested challenge, but Gloria defended in two straight sudden death matches to retain the title wining 6-5 in 14 and 5-4 in 8.
♦ 06-29-20 The notorious slaver Anubis Karos, who'd held FireStar numerous times in the past, once again attempted to claim the red opal as his own. This time, though, in a departure from the norm, his challenge was issued with respect and even gratitude for the role Gloria allowed him to play in the Opal's restoration during Diamond Quest 101. Pleasantries aside, Gloria met Anubis' challenge head on and defended FireStar in two straight duels, winning both 5-3 in 8 and 10 rounds, respectively.
♦ 07-12-20 Teammate Eden Parker decided it was time to challenge her friend Gloria for FireStar. For the fun of the challenge both fighters agreed to a shotgun fight a day after the challenge was made and it was a burner! The first fight saw Eden taking multiple leads as Gloria fought back and secured it in Sudden Death. The second duel was much like the first with both fighters struggling to maintain the lead. This fight saw triple Sudden Death until Gloria managed to edge out her 3rd defense with two Sudden Death victories: 5-4 in 11 and 7-6 in 12.
♦ 09-8-20 Having been named Warden of Atrebla, Gloria retired from her job at the Rhydin Public Library and also gave up custodianship of FireStar in order to focus on her new duties.
