I don't think it's a group thing quite as much as it's potential storyline material.

Stop getting ahead of yourselves. :P

The whole faction thing early on will mostly be fluff, but will provide a simple and easy explanation to fight another character while allowing you to build/effect the multiverse on a larger scale. Anyway I still need to hash some things out with Skallagrim involving the Angar Rylla since he made it an all. It's hard to prompt him from his hole now and again.

None of my people seems to be the sort to join any group with grand scale goal like those unfortunately.


Have you even seen any fighting games? Their characters usually have a thinnest of back-stories and fight each other for no reason.

I've always thought the multiverse needed an ultimate goal to motivate the characters and drive events. A main quest to complete. Perhaps a simple collect-the-McGuffins for ultimate power? Therefore, people with similar goals, such as world peace or destruction would band together.

Another idea that might be fun would be the manga HunterXHunter's greed island arc.

None of those seem to have any relation to what I said.

Don't even have an arena tab, therefore not worth listening too. :3

Well technically speaking, neither does Valeric, whom Alphakoka was dismissing.

The-fore they should all be ignored. XD

Anyway, seems a collective hub for story lines is a positive.

Don't think grand scale. Think selfish reasons. If we were to always think grand scale, no ones characters would really match right. Typically, no one is that black and white. While the cause might be good, doesn't mean the character's intentions and goals are. I'm not really sure about the whole recruit for storyline thing though. I mean, if you are wanting to essentially cause war, then the main reason for people joining one side or the other isn't usually for the goal, but for protection, money, personal gain, revenge, to get away from the other side, etc. You shouldn't force something when it can flow so naturally by itself.


I don't really understand what you're talking about, has someone suggested everyone is going to be forcibly recruited into factions? Other than me mentioning it was one of -many- ways you could engage a weak character with the multiverse.

Hell, you could just go to the HQ if you want to be neutral.

@MelonHead Nope, missed my point entirely. I was simply saying, recruitment should be done more elaborately in the story than "I'm gonna join this side for so and so reason". It was a very small and minuscule point that I was making amidst everything else, therefore, I didn't feel the necessity to elaborate fully. I suspect most people would see that as obvious anyways.

Who wants to be neutral? Neutral is for weirdos and perverts like Liason.

Why bother with recruitment? Anybody with enough interest would notice a tab that said "Arena". That's what I did when I noticed so many years ago. I went by a different name then though- not like that matters or anything.

I think with all the power-wank that is the arena, everybody would rather be part of their own little faction with all the different characters they use being in that faction. Of course, there are people who have both "heel" and "face" characters. If nothing else, it should just be no factions, as it's always been. Who needs team work anyways?

Actually, as a bit of a spoiler alert, I planned on the Over God Ao of the multiverse attempting to prevent major mulit-dimensional powers from destroying everything by creating the Arena. In which chosen champions of one sector of the miltiverse, or I.E a faction, fights another in order to basically win the rights to conquer that realm.

Think mortal Kombat, but with surprisingly much tamer fatalities.

As well as Elder God(s) that are not competently useless.

I find that having Elder Gods is only cool when portrayed with a sense of mystery. That is, their motives are unknown and completely deviating from any concept a human might be able to comprehend. It's a little difficult to write, but once you get it right, it's pretty fun to read/play. At least that's how I do it on my CoC campaigns- not that I've actually run one in over half a year.

I think the arena appropriate response to that Is, " I'll kill Ao! Come at me, bro!"

Has anybody actually said anything similar to that in character?
