Ascension Arena: Champion Maker

Music

---

This will be the start of a new role play game I want to get rolling with good faith. Though I'm not used to the Arena I think this fits better here and may increase overall activity. This game will hopefully be easy to get into and will have many different fair ways to play. Where you can make a fighter using the abilities available in anyway possible. Then once accepted you can challenge other players or go through trials to test the character or to develop them.

This will be mostly strategy based. Your writing level shouldn't matter too much just how you use your character's chosen abilities. The abilities will be predetermined based on the bloodline you choose. Not based on what unique ability you've made. But it is possible that someone can develop their character over time to attain rewards that will allow them to.

Wounds / Soul / Stamina

---

---

Wounds - You will be injured. These injuries will affect your characters in variable ways. The severity will be noted. Minor wounds to major wounds. Incur enough of either and your character will be defeated. Wounds will be judged based on what hit, where it hit, and how it hit the character.

Soul - How your character does their supernatural magic. Even breathing fire costs soul. Keep track of what you are using. If you run out of soul you can no longer manipulate elements or much else. Most uses of power cost 2 soul. Such as forming a fireball, firing a beam of light, or creating a shadow spear. The cost is set in stone and so is the limits of the abilities.

Stamina - Actions require energy and that is your stamina. Without it you can no longer move. Keep track of it or be easily defeated. Most actions require no energy. But performing strenuous maneuvers or constant activity will cost stamina. Constant running for example will cost 1 stamina per five minutes. Anything above that will cost 2 or more depending on the severity.

[Rai]

Combat

Post-By-Post: Each post will be reviewed. But do not worry about making posts long and intricate. Though it is appreciated. I prefer detailed posts with small increments of time between them. Often times posts can have far too many actions. So for each post one action that may or may not affect the other character is the recommended amount. You do not want to edit your post to reduce your actions. Instead focus on possibly needing to edit it for more actions after review.

Time doesn't move forward until the next round of posts. So everything you do is happening at the same moment as everyone else's actions. Even something like observing and doing nothing is considered an action.

---

Rules

Try not to do these as best you can.

Autohit - Establishing a confirmed hit or contact in the same turn an action was initiated on an opponent is prohibited. Participating parties are allowed to react to any action when applicable, and recipient of a perceived hit is permitted options in response to the proposal of an enemy player in accordance with Play-By Post rules. Ruling An interception may infer an autohit if the receiving party is unable to respond to the action of the proponent.

Godmodding - Control of the opponent or their actions is forbidden. Negation and Immunities may full under this category.

Meta-Game - Using Out Of Character knowledge and information in character. Blatant unjustified actions is prohibited pertaining to precise disassembling of a character or ability/power they control. Retroactions and Precognition fall under this category. Information your character does not have access to constitutes as Meta-gaming.

Precognition - The power to perceive predetermined events is not allowed. Calculations and heuristic creativity is permissible.

Retroaction - To undo an action proposed by the original party in the next post is unacceptable. An action can be cancelled by a player with minimum committal when applicable, but the act of resetting or reversing a previously stated action is disallowed. Example: creating an action, and upon the enemy player's response, deciding that said established action never occurred. Meta-gaming with explicit intent in a Retroaction is forbidden.

Sahale

Name: Sahale Tiegal

Appearance: Tall and slender yet with a decent muscular build that can eve be seen through his clothes. He has long white hair that he has drawn back in a ponytail to keep out of his face. He has a cocky smirk and a fire in his eyes that radiates mischief. He has light blue eyes and fair skin, accompanies by a scar across his right eye from a close encounter. He wears a dark purple robe with a sleeveless long coat that is topped with a fur lined collar. He has detached sleeves, comfortable pants with a corded belt for decoration, and white leather boots.



Blood%: 100% Sol

Items: 0 gold

• Counter gauntlet: armored left arm gauntlet made to deflect weapon strikes without the hassle of using a small shield or buckler, and retaining hand use.

• Katar
  
  example

  
• Sword in picture
• Speed potion x2
• Soul potion

Special abilities:

Soul / Stamina: 20 / 20
Background: Sahale used to be an assassin for hire, though he always had a disdain for female targets if he found them attractive, children, and people he would investigate to be what he judged as 'innocent'. Generally, he had no problem making money off a kill if he thought the person truly deserved death, and so he would look for such targets to kill. To him it was a win win, even if the law wasn't to fond of it. Bad guy dead, he makes a profit. Eventually, he took a job that he never should have taken. He got captured by his target and spent a year in captivity, which is where he met a girl that worked as a hired guard. He ended up falling in love with the female guard, and one day planning an escape with her, with plans to elope. However, the plan went awry and in the middle of their escape, the girl was mortally wounded, passing away shortly after. Sahale ended up completing the contract by killing his target and delivering the man's head personally, though it is said that a large portion of people under the target's command were found dead the next day as well, plants coming from their mouth, which was found out to have grown from a type of deadly parasitic airborne spore. Sahale retired after that and lived a short while as a broker for other assassins, finding them intel that he could sell to them or matching up contracts for assassins, acting as a middle man and collecting a percentage of the payment. This went on for a few years until he was arrested and given the option to serve a life sentence, or to pay off his bail via the arenas. Naturally, he preferred the arena route.

Accepted!

@Katthaj
That's one awesome character sheet! Accepted! If you want to you can post a design of the armor she is wearing.

@Vesuvius00
Oh my God it's you! Welcome! Ryba huh? She's still lurking about I see. xD
Accepted! Glad to see you're well! :D

[yoshua171]

I've question for you @Rai. For Blood% it says the following:

Must equal to 100 and be in multiples of 10.

Is there a limit to how many bloodlines an individual can have? Or is the limit just that you can't exceed 100% and the lower the percentage, the less abilities they have in a given bloodline?

[Rai]

@yoshua171

You've got it! You can mix it as much as you want but it can't exceed 100! I personally have no idea what is possible with certain combinations so have at it!

[yoshua171]

Alright, that's pretty interesting actually! Thanks. That considered, I might cook something up!

[Vesuvius00]

@Rai yeah, I figured Ryba would be more interesting to play this time around, with the changes you made to the blood% list. Plus I saw @Jollan's 100% Sol character and thought "Well one seems like more than enough. No need to drag Alexis over here."

I'm glad I checked in and noticed this RP- I've kinda been lurking around for a while. Never played arena before, but this should be fun!

[Rai]

@Vesuvius00
Yeah I'm trying to make an Arena rp not just fights. Which I hope is allowed >_> anyhow thanks for joining. You can post your character hanging out whenever you want. The battles will start shortly. :D

[Vesuvius00]

@Rai are the Battle Notices announced through the city? like some kind of PA system so everyone stays up-to date on what's happening in the arena? or are they just posted on some official bulletin board?

Also I'm guessing this is all kinda happening in a bubble, right? As compared to the rest of the Ascension world? Or do I need to come up with some kinda reason for Ryba to be here and not out doing her thing
EDIT- I re-read your first post and I think I answered my second question

[Rai]

@Vesuvius00

I think making it more like a PA announcement would be best wouldn't it? Also yes this is like a bubble of reality for this Arena. To separate it from the lore for the new players.

[Drifting Pollen]

@Rai Quick question:

I noticed some of the Bloodlines let you 'choose an element' for certain abilities. And I'm wondering what qualifies as an 'element' here. Is it just the basic four elements (Fire, Water, Earth, Air) or would things like Shadow or Ice be selectable?

[yoshua171]

Mikeil Thae-Arasté

---

[+]

Soul / Stamina
20 / 20

Appearance: Mikail stands at 6’2 and weighs roughly 210 lbs with a well muscled, but far from grotesque build hidden beneath his cloak. His cloak is rather unique and while it does not possess any unique boons it does open in four parts, allowing ease of movement in addition to it concealing his armor and armaments. His wings glow with a faint white-blue light and are almost always kept wrapped around his torso and beneath his arms, their like being thin enough so as not to impede his movement. Beneath his cloak and armor is protective, faintly scaled, flesh which reveals the reasoning behind his lack of heavier armor. His hookswords are held in a harness on his back crossed over one another with the handles near his waist while his chain weapon is wrapped in a circle and held firmly on the right side of his belt. Beyond this it is worth noting that his elbows possess armor-like spikes due to his tyro ancestry, while his white hair and pale flesh--upon close inspection--shimmers and burns faintly, his body lit with an inner fire.

Blood%: 100%.

10 gold

Thrann: A long metal chain connected two 10 lb weights.

Special abilities

Perhaps one day.

Background: Must about Mikeil’s past is unknown as he is rather tight lipped about it all, preferring not to give away his secrets. However, as he has spent more time in the Champion’s Town it has become apparent that he is a well trained combatant and--likely--a mixed breed if his strange features are anything to go by. As he carries himself with a sort of haughty superiority it stands to reason that wherever he may have come from valued the mixing of blood more than its purity. So it is that rumors circulate about the man without a past.

Of course, his name is something of a hint...now isn’t it.

After all, the Thae-Araste family is of a reasonably wealthy sort, though no one is quite sure why….

May update history in time.
