Similar or lower is fine.

The downside to Atrenian magic is that all of it has pretty strict function.

@Innue

May i have a link to Shio's sheet, or at least some sort of insight into her personality/backstory? Knowing what kind of character they are would help me pick one of my own that i'd find fitting; it would be more natural for the two to have an inherent reason to fight, such as conflicting personalities or one of them having something the other wants to acquire.

@Vordak

I'm translating a sheet from a specific self-constructed universe, so I'll give you a brief rundown.

Shio is an Atrenian exorcist. She's from a family of exorcists and is on/completed her Rites, which are a set of challenges for Atrenian youth which mirror the path of an ancient summoner from thousands of years ago (all Atrenians can summon beings they have tied themselves to). Personality wise, she grew up in a rigid environment from her father which dictated strict training in order to overthrow another family that had taken control over their place in the Rites (their family had historically set up one of the challenges). So she hasn't had much of a childhood and is sort of socially inept. Her strong belief is in sending spirits to rest and is generally offended by their use in magic.

@Innue

Frankly, that doesn't make for a character who would easily get into trouble with a complete stranger; but one of my own is an unconditional asshole, who is just far too prideful for his own good, and the other has long gone insane, being a centuries old supersoldier that has his brain slowly breaking down due to age and prior genetic tampering, so there's bound be a reason for conflict with those two.

[Innue]

The reason for conflict isn't necessarily big for me. Shio is established as someone that must overcome the challenges presented to her, so any character would work.

[ShidenBlades]

Ryuku has got the ole cliche 'Find the next greatest challenge' thing going for him. So, while he might not fight to the death unless forced to, it's a decent enough reason for a fight.

[yoshua171]

@ShidenBlades would you prefer Ryuku fight someone who also uses melee combat (hand to hand or weapon arts) or does it not matter? I seem to have more characters that are mage-like than I do physical fighters. I can do either though since I have lots and lots of characters.

What would you like the victory conditions to be?

@Lilygold I presume your character is Low Powered in terms of level? Based on what I am seeing anyways. I am referring to Katheryn Lara Gibson, to be more specific. I'm just making sure so as to figure out which character level to shoot for so we have a challenging fight on both ends ^_^

What would you like the victory conditions to be?

[Lilygold]

@yoshua171 Yes, she is. My victory conditions are Knockout, Forfeiture, or Death (although hopefully it won't come to that). Haven't found any arenas yet, from lack of looking, so I'll start now.

[Fallenreaper]

@Lilygold

I do have some images I can send you that I know could make some good arenas, you would like to browse through them? Innue already found among the collect that was liked and it might be a good start at least.

[Lilygold]

@Fallenreaper Thanks, I'd love to see them! That'll help tremendously.

@Lilygold

Hider

Here's a few I found that might be interesting.

[Lilygold]

@Fallenreaper I like the first one, the second one, and the fourth one, what arenas are those?

[ShidenBlades]

@yoshua171 I have no preference as to what skills/abilities Ryuku faces. I as a writer, and Ryuku as a character, enjoy fighting different types of people. As far as 'power-level', again I'll base what abilities Ryuku has that he can use based on whom he is fighting.

If the character you use is evil and Ryuku being someone that travels dimensions/worlds has cause to know this, possibly to the death. If not then until one gives up or is unable to defend themselves. Of course, If you pick someone that is good but believes in death before dishonor and would prefer to die in combat then Ryuku would oblige!

If you pick someone with weapons and would like that style of combat, Ryuku can use a staff & eskrima sticks very well (its the only weapons he can use), so I may add those in prior to combat. If you don't object.

[Fallenreaper]

@Fallenreaper I like the first one, the second one, and the fourth one, what arenas are those?

@Lilygold

Currently they are just images to help you visualize the scene, which when you pick a scene then you add the details like I did in this post: here. My suggestion for your first battle is go simple and just describe the length and width, nothing fancy until you get the hang of battling. Also keep in mind those measurements will be the boundaries of your area and should be kept as realistic as possible in the OP. If you are having issues or trouble, ask @yoshua171 or another vet for help. I provided a model to help out some. When you get the hang of things, then you can branch off into adding effects like I did with mine. The more detailed you are in the beginning with it than the less issues that will arise from it later on in the fight, if you need any more help with set up then be sure to shout out or ask someone. I'm still learning and making mistakes as you can see in that match's OoC so if you stumble around a bit, just keep in mind you're not alone in here. ^^'

@Fallenreaper@Lilygold

Oooo, let's do the fourth one, I like it too! Now I've just gotta pick a character, write a bit of description, and get us a judge. @Innue you free to judge?

@yoshua171

Yes, I can.

[yoshua171]

Sweet :P

[yoshua171]

Hey @Rilla or @Skallagrim I need a judge for my fight with Innue. Which of you would like to judge?

[Rilla]

I will.

It's about time for Skally to start worrying more about the RL stuff, big events coming up for him.

[Skallagrim]

Thanks brother, Thursday next week is the big day.

[Rilla]

no problem, brother.

you wont have to worry about much aside from NoW.
