Another noobie here, wondering if I can get A: Some tips as to what kind of requirements apply to arena characters...maybe a character sheet format or something, or whether or not the one I made recently (I might link if necessary) is acceptable, and B: A training fight going. Since I see one person looking for a ranked fight, and one person just looking for practice, I would love to challenge either one or both of you. And while I may be completely new to this particular arena setting...I would like to think I would put up at least a challenge in a ranked scenario due to past experience...

Here's a list of suggestions: 
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 [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/79678-rpguild-ranking-headquarters/ooc]ranking headquarters[/url], 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 was a tourney going on. 
4. A good transgression from pure rp style might be found in the [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/84836-the-multiverse-arena/ooc]multiverse[/url] which will likely pick up over time when the tourney is over.     

That's the best advice I can give you at the moment. Also it might be best to start off with an unranked as you're just starting off.
