    Primary Components (Tier level 6 character)

    Good day, I am Greyman.

    I am currently looking for someone willing to do a one on one match with my newly created character Prime. He is around level 6 in power.

    I would like to keep the environment pretty simple for this one time since I am new to fighting arena in general and would rather focus on writing the characters themselves to begin with, this includes a lack of traps or environmental conditions. Just this once, after I got some reference and grip I'll most likely venture into more secondary affecting events like stage hazards and preemptive traps.

    I expect a paragraph at the very least for the standard posting routine although beyond this I don't have a great deal of demands; hell, I'm even ok with fighting characters above Primes own level as long as you think the fight would still be somewhat fair and interesting with the match up.


    The final thing I have to say is that we both agree here and now that the killing of a character is fine if we win. I hate the rule that we have to ask something we should feel we can trust other RP'ers will handle and perform sensibly for the story and for their character; in the Arena it seems even redundant. I won't treat you like a kid I got to tip toe around and I don't expect you to do the same to me. I will gracefully submit my character to whatever evils your character has planned if he is victorious if you accept the opposite from me.

    In short. I'll trust you to be a reasonable adult and not throw a tantrum if you die if you trust me not be a disrespectful and treat your character demise with care and humility in terms of writing and OOC(and to of course play fairly according to our characters roles and general writing etiquette). Same way if the roles are reversed.

    if there is an issue, I want you to feel you can PM it and we can discuss it rationally and peacefully. Same goes if you want to contact me again for another match.

    Preferred Genres: Anything really although I don't blend well with feral/furry (no hate. I just lean heavily to humans alot or weird things in writing)

    Preferred type of play: I prefer groups(unless you've amassed like 20 people then don't, simply too chaotic for me) but 1x1 don't bother me much.

    Extra information: Feel free to PM to get to know me or to talk about role playing possibilities.

    Greyman, do you want to do this fight free form where you can unleash powers at a whim and wish or have a T1 fight where powers are regulated by a prep/power up system? While it seems silly, it can help solve many issues before they start if both sides are aware of what they can reasonable expect their character can do at any given time.
    The writer who cares more about words than about characters, action, setting, and atmosphere is unlikely to create a vivid and continuous dream; he gets in his own way too much; in his poetic drunkenness, he can't tell the cart- and its cargo- from the horse.

    after him, when he lifeless lies."

    T1, While I'll need to reread it a few times and look up some references quickly. I've gotten the margin of the idea of it. I think it best that T1 would be used for this, it will help me come to grips with that system straight away if I utilize it now rather than later. Thanks for the heads up, Skallagrim.

    T1 would be best I think.

    Grey, if you are still looking after your current fight. I will spar with you to test this character concept out. I really like the idea behind this character and want to see the limits and strengths of him.

    I would happily have an arena match with you Skallagrim, however you should probably keep expectation low of me as an action writer now since the majority of my experience are normal humans and slow, silent scenes. This is a bit of a reversal for me.

    @Bushido

    Right now I want to keep things a bit simple via a 1 on 1. If you do want to arrange a match with me later though I will consider it when I have more free time and less matches and RP's going on. Right now I got two matches planned with others and an 1 on 1 RP. I don't want to stretch myself too thing. I am sure you understand.

    Yeah I hear you, even I can't handle big role plays plus fighting one onone at the same time. Did it before, but a lot of mix ups

    Well Grey, after you finish up with Haldarious look over my arena characters and choose an opponent. I don't care which one you choose, I will face your character as best as the character can.
