It might not cause someone to pause in a way that you could take advantage of it... but it might make more than one person think your f*cking crazy.

Looking for someone to oblige me in a mech fight. Fist full of titanium alloy to the face, anyone?

Anyone else notice how distinctly out of place Destroy The Godmodder feels?

Like, The Arena is packed with this slowly creeping lore that's enveloping most groups of roleplayers. There's this interconnected multiverse thing going on, and it's kind of coherent.

Only kind of though.

But then there's Destroy the Godmodder.

I ain't complaining, I love reading it from time to time. It's just an observation.

Speaking of which, anyone want to try a second attempt at fighting all of my heroes, but in a series of planned battles so it's not so chaotic and with people dropping out? If people do drop out we can easily edit in the plans to account for this.

Hey guys, I'm a first-timer to the arena. Anyone up for helping me learn the ropes with a 1v1?

Sure. What's a character you'd like to try your hand with? I've got a large enough roster to pick to match your choice.

<Snipped quote by The 42nd Gecko>

Awesome! I'd say Gunnaya (the second one on my sheet). All my characters thus far are low-tech, medium-low powered. Gunnaya would be the simplest to start with.

Blithe [+]

Name:Blithe Marrowdwell
Occuption: Warrior, Guard
Gender: Female
Age: Early Adult
Size: 6'1", 180

Equipment:
Armor: Styled as appearance, but with some rather more practical chainmail in place of the green frilly stuff, and helmet, and a few more plates, basically equivalent to a full suit of gothic plate mail. The appearance is more in line with dress armor. Blithe also bears a full shield, wood with metal edges, with pointed bottom, suitable to be thrust into the ground and used as cover.

Melee: Blithe bears a long handled blade, a little tiring to use one handed but possible.

Ranged: She bears small crossbow with fifteen bolts. It's positively "cute" sized, as Blithe is already heavily loaded down.

Consumable: One general topical magical salve of healing/antidote, one magical "flashbang", and one "alchemist's fire" style effective Molotov.

Upgrades Beyond Normal Human:
Elf - Keener sight and hearing, tire slowly, longer lifespan. This means that even as, by elven standards, an early adult, Blithe's martial experience is considerable, while still combined with a body in the prime of youth.

Her Plate Armor is even lighter and more maneuverable than normal gothic plate mail, though not by much. Blame the elves for being better at everything.

Her Sword's construction involves specially prepared meteoric iron and other magical gobbledegook, making incredibly destructive against glammor and illusion and harmful against magic in general.

Warrior Arts-
Blithe's training has included the use of various mystical "warrior" techniques. Generally, they work by expending her magical energy to perform superhuman physical feats. Depending on the enemy, her total amount of energy is variable for balance purposes, but for default, we'll say 5 with no unit. :P

Burst of Speed- 1 Unit
Blithe gains a temporary boost in speed, equivalent to if Blithe attempted to suddenly sprint at full speed. If Blithe actually is doing that, the result is effectively doubled speed. This lasts for up to three seconds. It does not work very well while already in contact with something, but even a single step can build up some decent momemtum (given her armor).

Revitalization- 1 Unit
Blithe carries a heavy armament and, even with its extraordinary craftsmanship and natural endurance, sometimes a little extra stamina is helpful. Removes some fatigue and reenergizes Blithe somewhat. This is not a temporary boost, but it is not a complete relief of condition either.

Battle Yell- 2 Units
Blithe is capable of doing that yell and blast everything around you away thing.

Alright first things first. Character building. Your bio looks great, but there are a few mild hiccups.

1 Flask of Flametongue Mead
This brew remains hot to the touch at all times, and super-heats the drinker's body, protecting them from any amount of cold.*
-2 Vials of Jormungar
Jormungar, another Gunnaya original, is a cocktail of highly reactive elements. When exposed to open air, they explode into a cloud of toxic gas, which takes two minutes to fully dissipate**.

*Saying completely immune to cold is a bit odd. If Cold McIcerson hits you with his fully charged "Ultimate Chilly Death", some bag-o-tricks potion probably shouldn't trump it unless it has a super penalty attached.
**I assume you mean, "in normal conditions", or does it have some special properties that protect say a wind user from blowing it away?

I noticed I don't have my character folder on me on this computer, so I whipped together a quick arena fodder. Check it and make sure it seems appropriate. It's important for both players to feel everything is well-defined and balanced. Never be afraid to raise a polite question. There's a complex tier system and all, but it's no substitute for taking the time and consideration to read each other's bios and talk it over.

Haha thanks for the advice. I've made a couple fixes to better clarify her abilities. Your character certainly looks like a daunting opponent, but Gunnaya's up for the challage!

Shall we move this to its own thread, and get things underway?

Hey guys, I am new to this whole "jazz" and I just wanted some pointers to help me get started because I am very much interested in this.

Ignore Rilla, what is it you wanted to know specifically?
