Rules:


Standard T1 rules, if you need a guide to T1 and are new to the Arena, here is a link that gives a well written and detailed explanation on how T1 works. Click Here.

Honestly it's pretty simple.

However, there's a few extra rules for this.

1: Be incredibly clear with your charges. Do not pretend you don't know what I'm talking about, charging in the background of your post.

2: Rules of Engagement are as follows:
If you engage an opponent who is a tier higher than you are, you are allowed to bring a companion with you. However, if your opponent does not agree, the fight will not happen.

You may willfully engage an opponent who is a higher tier than you, as long as you agree that you will be at a disadvantage.

If you are multiple tiers lower than your opponent, you may bring along multiple companions. As long as all parties agree. As well, you can agree to fight them alone at a distinct disadvantage.


Factions are simple. To declare faction ownership, you must have at least three members as well you must describe a faction location.

Once these two requirements are met, it will be added to the world map.

Faction wars are dictated by all members of both parties.

Victories of faction members increase the size and world influence of the factions.
Losses of faction members decrease the size and world influence of the factions.

World influence is the draw for other characters to interract with your characters. The more world influence you have, the more dangerous you will be percieved.

Victory is a double edged sword, drawing too much attention to yourselft might bring numerous challengers. Probably, maybe. I might implement a point system or something.

The Tier List is pretty vague, though I figure you all know it pretty well. And if you do not, you can ask for an explanation. I added intermediary tiers between the normal tiers to give a bit more wiggle room.

Human

Low

Low Intermediate

Intermediate

High Intermediate

High

You can have a total of four active characters at a time.

Pretty standard, rules of engagement have already been listed.

Real simple stuff, just so long as folks aren't colossal assholes things don't really need much regulation.

Do try and have some range in your character's tiers, so not everyone is high or low. This is to give everyone a pretty fair chance at duking it out with everyone, y'know.

Locations:

Alexandria:
As time passed, a single city rose above the rest. Strangely enough it was spearheaded by Alexander the Great, oddly enough he went on to create a citadel that dwarfed any he had ever dreamed. This citadel drew other powerful men and women, around it formed a city that became the most important location in this world. By many it is considered the central hub of the world.

Its Alexandrian venues and streets with parallel rivers give it an otherworldly appearance. It is timeless in its beauty, with towers of marble concrete. A strange but beautiful creation of this world. Where marble was harvested and ground down, mixed with stone, white paint and tar. This strange off-white beauty makes these streets both sturdy and breathtaking.

As with any great city, there is a major center for commerse and trade. As well as restaurants, bars, and gentleman's clubs surrounding the trade center. As the Greats adapted to this world where language meant nothing, they came to accept this new life. Creating civilizations among their own kind. With great leaders spearheading every great citystate, there was little in the way of total war. Though constant skirmishes were wholesale, these people thriving on battle did so to entertain their violent tendencies.

As a major centralized city center, there are travelers from every corner of the world. Aliens and demigods, warlords and god emperors. Alexander's citystate became the home to so many cultures and societies. It was set to prosper eternally, and with Alexander unlikely to ever leave his seat as leader, this was the way things would remain.

Alexandria is pretty central, though it does lie north of the Equatorial ring of landmass. It is peninsular and only has borders on the southern end.

Shen's Tavern:
A regal high class tavern on the outskirts of Alexandria, this is home and business to the Pandaren man Liu. With beautiful oriental decor it draws the eyes of any who pass it, as it stands out sharply to the marble concrete of Alexandria. Popular for some of the more alcoholic or personable champions of the World of War, this has become somewhat of a social center. As with most taverns, its layout is simple and elegant. Though it is the victim of occasional rambunctious customers who become unruly and rowdy, letting out their drunken rage on the other customers.

The Crystal Desert:
Remnants from the Architect's construct world, when a tournament was hosted in that land it managed to leave the world in ruins. The former glory is now a haunting ruinous beauty, with spires of strange mottled black stone and crystal spires that jut outwards from the ground.

Tracts of glass from the battlegrounds of their tournament show the depth of power that these warriors wielded.

Warriors come here these days to test their mettle against one another on the former battlefield, using the enormous pillars of black stone and spires of crystal as cover or even as weapons if they've got the strength.

It is a battleground for hardy warriors who are comfortable in the sunbeating days and frigid cold nights, though one question remains unanswered.

If every location is the domain of a champion, whose domain is this?

Backfields:
The domain of the warrior Dunnaman, it is marked in the center by a crater and an empty grave. A strange location, even Dunnaman himself doesn't quite understand why this is the location that came with him.

It's pretty much your standard grassland location, though there is a large patch of dead grass and dry dirt surrounding the crater left behind by some unknown impact. There are a few sparse trees and a few of them look like they're recovering from damage that they took at one point in time. There are a few stumps and a makeshift log cabin here, Dunnaman is frequently seen here.

The log cabin is pretty simple with a icebox, table, chair and a bed in the corner. Y'know, simple stuff. Dunnaman fiercely defends his domain from invaders, though never actually offends anyone else. He doesn't stop others from fighting in his domain though.

It's about a mile long, it borders the Crystal Desert on the northern end.

Once I'm awake and coherent, I'll be writing up the rules and stuff. Anyone who sees this before I get the rules up, you can go ahead and post your character sheets. It's fine, since there is not going to be a uniform character sheet.

Just be clear with what your character can do, and we'll be all right.

Question? Is SRI (shinra Inc) able to send in a team to participate or you keeping it cut off? I'd like to participate but disjointing characters kinda makes it a "what's the point" kind of feel.

I do have other characters but I'd rather bring in my main guy and actually want to do it instead of go through the motions.

My friend I told you this before, it is you who shrugged off my comment.

I said it here.

Like I said, you can have a faction. Any character group is welcome, but there isn't connection to the rest of the Multiverse. If you need it, make it part of your faction home.

If you have several people in your faction you have more room and the like. Obviously NPCs don't count.

However, a group of people willingly sent is out of the question. Considering nobody knows about it. If they're a powerful and influential group, then they are already here.

Edit: Also there isn't much of a point yet, to try and make a unilateral storyline among characters who range from demigods to alien mindmasses isn't easy.

As of right now, this serves as a character building exercise. And once the setting is made, the story can be written.

The setting writes the story, my friend.

Pandaren brewmaster with a dark secret at your service, not much of a fighter but if people are that desperate to battle him they could always mess up his bar.

Alright, I'm off today. I'm gonna start writing up the rules and the like. It might take a couple hours, since I want them to be very clear.

@RiverMaiden
Pardon, a what? I looked up Aralune in pretty much every language that I know, and literally nothing came up but a marvel character.

Oh sorry man, they keep scheduling me every day, yesterday was my only day off that week. I kinda vegged out all day, got some food and relaxed.

He would come with all of his equipment, fully repaired and the like. Unless an injury defines you, you wouldn't have it anymore.

Shin's eye is still popped and stuff like that.

Tomorrow I ain't scheduled till 3. So I'll have the rules up, I promise. Whoever's posting character sheets should post them.

@Divinity
@ImportantNobody
@Starfall
@Dev3117
@Enki
@RiverMaiden
@yoshua171

If you've got your characters decided, feel free to go ahead and post them. Again, there's no limitations on character type, save terribad characters and god-tier.

Also, I'm real sorry for how long this is taking to start up. I think they're intentionally scheduling me so I can't get rest. I think they're trying to make me quit my job, they've hired two guys who look to be my replacement if they can get rid of me.

They don't like me, I know this pretty well.

But the problem is.

I'm not a Race Horse, and they can't change that. But if they're trying to work a Work Horse to death, they're gonna be trying for a while.

I guess I could go with this one as my main character with maybe a few tweaks (a slight tier increase?), if you guys like her. I have an idea for another main character who I might also go with if I can think up all of his details.

I imagine that means, should I be able to join in the future, I can't have a random Nova get displaced from the Yggddrasil Train Station/Tracks, into the World at War

@Rilla
You could have them THINK they were randomly displaced, and have them be wholly convinced that they were. Even going so far as to tell other characters that they were.

But it would be an untruth hidden behind sincere ignorance.

As nothing was really explained to anybody.

Shit actually.

@Enki That could explain your characters, just have them think that they were sent blind into a mission with all of their equipment.
