Furry Fighting

Furry Fighting is a combat sport similar to professional wrestling done by Combagal. It is the main framing device of Furry Fight Chronicles as the main characters are Combagals or managers.

## Structure

For a furry fighting match to take place, certain conditions need to be met. The first is having Combagals willing to fight each other. They can fight in solo matches or tag team matches, with the latter being the most popular option of the two. All Combagals must have managers who will decide the match, such as when and where will the fight take place.

Another aspect of furry fighting is storyline. Combagals are entertainers as much as they are fighters. As such, they must make an impression by surprising the audience with new developments before or during a match. Peki Polight was made a Heel by her manager Dinedon to appeal to the prejudice against Wilds, increasing the visitors to the matches of Team Executor as they focused on her partner Adelgund being seen as a symbol of justice.

Combagals fight in an arena of one of the city-states of Concatta. Each arena hosts several matches from different Combagals as an opening event. The main event is focused on Combagals who are stronger, more skilled, and notorious than the opening match. An example is the Masato Match having two matches shown before focusing on the main event.

## Rules

Furry fighting is based in the *puroresu* wrestling style used by Japanese wrestlers. As such, martial arts are used in conjunction with professional wrestling rings and rules to make the matches more interesting. At the Masato Match, Peki used boxing and Nyarai used a kick based fighting style to defeat Adelgund.

The victory conditions are the following down below:

1- Pinning: A Combagal pins another Combagal to the canvas. If the referee counts three seconds, the match is declared over and victory goes to the Combagal who made the pin.

2-Submission: A Combagal puts her opponent in a submissive hold. The match ends when the opponent taps out or surrenders to the enemy.

3-Knockout: A Combagal must knock her opponent unconscious. Combagals who focus on striking commonly win like this.

4- Disqualification: If a Combagal breaks the rules, she will be disqualified by the referee, giving victory to her opponent.

Besides the standard structure of a match, there are some rules that show up in some chapters.

1-Grabbing someone by the tail is a forbidden move.

2-Unnecessary roughness on the opponent is illegal.

3-If a Combagal touched the rope while she's the victim of a submission hold, she and her rival must be separated before continuing the match.

4-Outside interference is not allowed.

5-Assaulting a referee to avoid their interference will get Combagals labeled as Heel fighters.

## Types Of Matches

### Kayfabe

The most common type of match, kayfabe matches are designed to entertain the audiences while keeping the fighting Combagals safe regardless of who wins or loses. More often than not, the outcome is predetermined, so it's hard to say which Combagal is the best fighter regardless of the result. Kayfabe matches focus on plot and storytelling to entertain the audience.

### Shoot Style

The most violent and dangerous type of match to have, shoot fighting has the Combagals use their full power and techniques to fight for real. As a result, it's possible for both sides to suffer injuries. Knockout victories are commonly won in this type of match.

### Championship Match

A championship match is a furry fighting match against Champion Combagals. It can be done with kayfabe or shoot style. An example is the Masato Match, where the winner was going to be anybody who defeated Adelgund, regardless if her partner could still fight. Nyarai became the Masato Champion by defeating Adelgund, ending the match despite Muko still being willing to fight.

## Face And Heel

Combagals are split into Face and Heel factions. Matches can be done by having Face Combagals fight each other, Heel Combagals fighting each other, or Face and Heel Combagals fighting each other. It is possible for a Face Combagal to team up with a Heel Combagal in tag team matches.

Face matches focus on Combagals fighting fairly and impressing the crowd with their performance to gain Pop, the approval of the crowd. Heel matches are more violent as Combagals resort to hitting opponents with weapons, breaking rules, and assaulting the referee to get Heat, the negative reaction of a crowd.

## Trivia
