Pʀᴇʟᴜᴅᴇ & Sᴛᴀɴᴅᴀʀᴅs
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
I started participating in Arena-style roleplays when I was twelve years old. Once upon a time it was my lifeblood, but eventually I moved away from the format. I'm looking to practice more consistently and actually give a little shit about it.

The standards I am looking for are no different than my 1x1 and Group expectations, so I'll be clear on that. I'm an ornery, picky old bastard. Do note that any RP I do will likely not be a post-every-day affair. I priortize group roleplays above all else. I’m not impartial toward any sort of genre as I take the approach of going into a setting with an open mind. I love character creation, world-building, character development, narrative strength, proving the trope can be written well, and having a taste of every cake on the dinner table. Most importantly before you proceed you should know my central roleplaying credence:

Roleplaying should focus on developing interesting and complex characters that become part of plot-lines which catch the imagination and inspire the writer behind them to exercise creativity. It is mature, humorous, imaginative, tragic, terrifying, passionate, and rife with descriptive language and characters with real personality and relatable cares. Quality posting is far better than needless novels, yet one should never neglect detail when one feels the need. However, while word and paragraph requirements ought to be unnecessary, single paragraphs cannot contain enough detail to suffice.
Inkarnate

With this in mind – I am not opposed to straight battles, but I do prefer combat scenarios with story and plot fluff. I'd prefer if things were tonally consistent and our goal to have fun in writing a cool encounter rather than try to win. I'm cool with taking a “L” if that's how things end out.

My writing level is somewhere between the framing of intermediate and advanced. I can write solid paragraphs and dialogue depending what is needed or how my creativity is flaring. Depending what the scene is and what I’m given you can get something short or something long. With that in mind, I’m not on often so do not presume I will be able to post hour-by-hour; there is a difference from reminding me that it’s been a week or so without a post and its another to presume myself being online requires me to give you my attention exclusively. It is good to remember I have other friends, RP priorities, and hobbies. With that in mind, I will do my best to be cordial and respectful towards you as my partner so give me the same rope.

Feel free to PM me or reply to this thread with inquiries. I will update this space with characters and scenarios when I am inspired to do so.

Genius plot idea for you.

The lord of a sizeable piece of land has an ulterior motive as he hosts a grand tournament, the prize for the victorious one being a quarter of a million gold, which will allow the winner to live wholesomely till the end of his life. This, of course, attracts incredible numbers of soldiers, martial artists, mages and so on.

They (the contestants) accumulate in the capital of this land, they sign up for the tournament and wait for the lord to announce what's up.

The lord decides to make the tournament a two-parter. The first part will involve a group of mages teleporting the contestants to an area, uninhabited by people, and having them make their way to a coliseum in three days. Thing is, there are no rules concerning the contestants not killing each other while looking for the structure.

The second phase involves the contestants being lined to fight each other one on one until there is only one left. They can surrender or fight to the death.

What the contestants don't know is that the lord is trying to accumulate multiple souls for a ritual that will give him something - power, or infinite riches or whatever it is you want it to be.

How does that sound?

And how would you like to start the combat encounter? or would this be non-conventional? How does the Arena-type RP concept apply?

also those one space indents and no line breaks are driving me mad, plz no

Let us say it is non-conventional.
What I proposed goes into a 1v1 arena type later in the roleplay, being preceded by team based pvp.
Combat encounters can start in different ways. An ambush, or groups walking into each other. (for the first half)
Then the fighters get introduced and then walk into the ring of the coliseum, beginning the fight. (for the second half)

I definitely support you an your movement to rejuvenate this dry land. In my decade of rp I can say I agree with everything you said. The area is definitely a “let’s fight fuck story” thing, but what makes a fight good is the story and the reason the characters are fighting. How will they progress? Will they think back in this battle when the fight someone else? Are they being controlled? There can always be a story involved. Intruth a well written story that builds up to a fight is more of my think, but I can do it all. Anyway just know Chibi, supports you.

Edit: Forget about it, we're obviously not compatible and I don't think I'd have fun working with you. You do you, fam.
