Now that I'm without a fight I feel with a purpose. XD

Fun fact. You are missed in the arena, and we are at 36 weeks.

I'm still here, keeping an eye on you people. Trying to find motivation to write again for Allaria. Work is draining me. xD. Though, I've contemplated the future of it, as well as an encyclopedia.

Also, not long now. Prepare for spit up, crying, and a severe lack of sleep. But also for the best time of your life, and maybe a few powerbombsuplexeschokeslams. ;D Congrats though.

Starting a new interest check where we have the same characters but throw them into multiple different plots as we tire of the current one: roleplayerguild.com/topics/86706-same-..

There could be some plots where they fight each other with special powers.

Something something powerwank.

Ello all,
Jus a quick question for someone who hasn't really been involved with such a style of RP: how does one join the fray?

Here's a list:
1. Look at the detailed Arena CS, a few good ones would be the vets. They already know what they are doing and have a good grasp of what should be required. Rilla, Skallagrim, MelonHead, Yoshua171, and a few others are considered vets or at least good examples.
2. If you're wanting to join the points race, jiggle the ranking headquarters, if not don't worry about it.
3. Grab a partner, and if you're not use to this style of competitive rping, I suggest requesting a vet to over view the match and possible help you learn. Though not sure how many will be able to help you as there is a tourney going on.
4. A good transgression from pure rp style might be found in the multiverse which will likely pick up over time when the tourney is over.

I'm usually looking for a fight/something to do.

Something something powerwank.

Overpowered is love, overpowered is life.

Certain magic systems in my multiverse would indeed have different ways of interacting with physics and magic rules, so I concede a point from a long time back about something similar. However, past a certain level, all magic would begin to disregard normal physics as a universal fail-safe so you don't destroy reality. My multiverse would seem to have a speed advantage as a result of getting away with this thanks to the fail-safe.

Speaking of making Evvie older/more experienced, I have a few problems that would need to work out.

1. In the nexus she's already shown up as a child, which the tournament is incredibly likely to be canon within the upcoming multiverse. She'd have to be killed in the tournament, die again outside of the tournament, and reincarnate as an adult Evvie in time for the multiverse. Reincarnating as an adult wouldn't be out of the question completely if something strange happens, although she'd also need to maintain memories through this reincarnation to be considered an adult still. Well, a single strange event could account for both of these thing if you guys really wanted to push this idea.

2. Her personality sort of relies on her being as young as possible, her being in mid to upper teens already pushing it. Seeing an adult behave like she does would draw many strange looks and feel out of place. She could still have an interesting personality while dropping other personality traits of hers, although I like her personality now so would hate to see some of it dropped so soon without exploring it in a long lasting multiverse.

3. The root of Evvie's main weaknesses is intellect. She'd still have some weaknesses like cold but would be much, much harder to exploit and could be considered cheap without further nerfing on her abilities.

EDIT: Maybe Evvie was invited to the nexus as a secret plot by a dreamer to have her killed and reincarnated into her goddess form somehow, only not as a transformation but as a base form that she slowly grows more and more powerful in. Don't know why they'd need to conspire her murder like this rather than just doing it themselves though. Or how they could force a goddess reincarnation.

Fallen pretty much hit it on the head. Enjoy your stay, get involved and create stories for your characters.

@ImportantNobody Really? Why would the Dreamers want or need Evvie killed? She has value as she is. Another ascended being glomming on the god title isn't interesting.

Unless we do time skips well into the future, I'll stick with teen Evvie and maybe adult version can be challenged if someone really wants to.

I was thinking of a cool death battle idea between Elsa and Sub-zero. Some people claim sub would win but I'm not convinced.

There is currently quite a bit of flooding outside of my apartment right now, at least 5 inches in some parts.

Yet my manager expects me to walk a mile to the bus station, and then another quarter mile from the bus stop to get to work.

I love reasonable human beings.

You could take it as a compliment. Clearly he thinks you're Jesus Christ.

It's just rain. If it had been the actual hurricane I am sure he'd understand if you came in a little later. LOL. You are in the area for another 5-9 inches of rain atop of what is happening now.

Alright, can someone please give me the rundown how this arena business works? Any volunteers wanna run me through a tutorial fight?

The only things necessary to start off are knowledge of the basic combat rp rules, which can be found here, and a character sheet with a good amount of detail - you can look here for some examples. The rest can be picked up along the way.

EDIT: it's also a good idea to have a healthy amount of detail in your own posts: stance, direction of your attacks and the like, since it is key to convey the image you have in your own mind to your partner.

Vordy has it pegged for the most part. The best course of action is to find a sparring partner for the type of fight you want. Open the OOC for comments and ask the community to comment on your stance, actions, attacks and defense. It allows you to see what others see in the situation, often times giving you an opportunity to have multiple mentors at once.

Many thanks! Another question however - I've noticed there's a scaling system going, in particular, how a character's "power level" is determined. I've poked around and haven't really found any given scale. Any chance I'm over looking it?

It is in the arena FAQ. Basically it is normal human, powered (which encompasses a broad spectrum-fighters haggle powers to roughly even themselves out) and god-like.

I usually just stick to the lower end really of powered though my only arena fighter is human, not counting Jacer who is in the multiverse thread right now. I'm just slowly fleshing out his world bit by as I wait for that to get fleshed out and started.

Again, many thanks!

I'm assuming that it's a good rule of thumb to be on the lower end of this spectrum then?
