Arena FAQ/Advice

Well, when i say 'humans are weaker than their opponents' i mean majority of humans. If orcs are real (we dont know if they are or arent) they would be inherently stronger(or faster) than most humans because of their size and their anatomy. Their height/ long legs make them, not really faster, but enable them to cover longer distances faster with large strides. They inherit the genes of their parents(big and bulky) making them automatically stronger if view from an even or unbiased viewpoint.

I love friendly arguments. :)

Fun Judging :3

Kotagnak

Name- Kotagnak. Role-mixed. Trait- Strength. Age- 33. Weight- 247lbs. Height-6'1" Race- orc
Appearance- Looks exactly like him, armor and all, without the sword.
Weapons- The only attsck that has ever penetrated this shield was a Holy Penetratiin Bolt from Zeus himself, yet after thousands of years of trying, Zeus has never been able to penetrate this shield a second time. This shield adapts to enemy magical attscks over time, the more the magic is used against it, the more it begins to resist that magic. Magic resistance can only go up to 20%, and does not reset between fights/battles. When this shield is placed in the ground, it expands in size, becoming a 4 foot high, 7 foot wide, 1'6" foot thick wall of the same material.
Devil's Deck- Kotagnak has a deck of cards of various abilities passed down to him from sinister, unknown origins. This deck consist of 38 cards, and 3 different types of cards. The first type is rectangle and they are creature summons. The second type is square, and they are weapons. The third and final type is oval, and those are magics. Kotagnak's card are special in that if Kotagnak defeats his opponent, one of his blank cards will be replaced with a card that is in some way similar to or in close connection to his defeated opponent. Example Kotagnak decapitates Mistress blood, master of controlling felines. Depending on the circumstances, one of Kotagnak' rectangle cards may now allow him to summon a cheetah, or a square card may give his lion claws. Each card can only be used once per battle, unless then whole deck is used, then he may use them again. I will roll dice to see which card i get, but will still pick the type of card. Kotagnak's armor is that of the armor he wears in his appearance picture, but ignore the sword.
Other- Kotagnac is strong enough and skilled enough to weild dual two handed weapons with ease if they're not too long. Kotagnak has been known to be strong enough to rip a fairly large man in half with effort. Kotagnac is trained masterfully in polearms and two handed weapons, along with defensive and offensive shield use. Kotagnak's skin rivals leather, being only slightly less stronger, taking small-medium bladed slashes in well fortified places (chest, back, etc.) with ease.

Passives- None.
Powers- None.
Items- Secret Ace- This allows Kotagnak to use the card he last used a second time. This can only be used once, and the card musn't still be in effect.

Fun Judging :3

So basically just post your character(s) here and have people tell you what they think about them, and maybe even how you could have them improved. Dont just say 'it sucks' if you dont like it or think it needs improvement, tell them how they can fix it. It is encouraged to only post arena characters. :D Hope yall enjoy!!

Katsumi

Katsumi

---

---

Personal

Name: Nishimura "Black Dragon" Katsumi
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Date of Birth: May 18th
Height / Weight: 5’5” / 149lbs (67.5kg)
Profile: The Nishimura is a family of longtime association with the Black Babel. The family line is one of great tradition, passing down an array of magic techniques to their children and applying their skills to become Witches. This is the fate of Katsumi.

Even from a young age she saw the effects of the Black Babel on her life; her mother was often gone performing missions, with her father only there half the time due to work, leaving the young girl to entertain herself. Which she usually did by reading old books, many detailing her family history. However, when her mother was home, she didn’t slack on the teaching of her daughter. Katsumi is homeschooled in both regular education and the magical arts of her heritage.

It wasn’t until her mid teens that she came to realize her true purpose. One fateful evening a creature of the night had followed her mother home, and killed her father before being wounded and fleeing. It was at that point that her mother became overcome with guilt and grief over what she had inadvertently caused. She abandoned her duty as a Witch despite traditional, and encouraged Katsumi to do the same. But the young girl wouldn’t. She defied her mother’s wishes because she wanted revenge against those who had taken her father away. She would show them the strength of the Nishimura Dragonblood.

Katsumi is a sharp individual, in tongue and will. She seems rather energetic and at times airy, but this is a version of stoicism for her, as underneath she evaluates serious situations more strategically than she lets on. She is rather rebellious at times when need-be, but always respects tradition, even if she’s loathe to hold her tongue in the face of things she disagrees with.

Witch

Witch Rank: C
Uniform: Type A Uniform shortened nearly to the hips, with black trousers and boots.
WAND: Walther P38
Familiar: Inikki is an Imp-class Daemon that takes the form of a nearly-transparent wisp. Despite being an intelligent familiar, Inikki cannot speak, and can only convey emotions and mental images to Katsumi. The daemon is a rather playful and often mischievous one, sometimes getting into more trouble than one would expect. This is aided well by its ability to possess simple objects. While possessing an object, he can manipulate them as if he had strength equalling a human. He has shown the ability to also split into two halves of himself and possess two objects, both at normal strength.

Equipment:

Daemon Hounds

Moji and Peach are two hound-like Daemons who’ve been tamed by Katsumi to assist her in vampire destruction and cuddles. These two Daemons are especially effective in hunting vampires due to the fact that they have potent regenerative abilities, as well as toxic blood. However, they can’t really do any meaningful damage - they’re better as distractions, or just bloodhounds. They look pretty spooky though.

Potion Case

Katsumi wears a small potion case on her hip which holds up to four vials, usually containing physical enhancement potions.

Magic

Curses

Black Dragon’s Breath

Katsumi possesses the breath of the black dragon, known for its acidic properties. She can expel a spray of acid from either her hands or her mouth, up to about five yards. Against flesh it is not incredibly corrosive, but it does slow regeneration and hurts quite a bit. It is better at boring through earthly materials like stone and metal, though. She is immune to her own acid.

Charms

Indomitable Will

Katsumi can activate this spell to boost her willpower, decreasing the pain she feels and increasing her ability to keep pushing in dire circumstances. She can also use it to help counteract attacks on her mind, if she is aware of them.

Dragon’s Flight

Katsumi can activate this magic to allow her to fly or float. She can fly fast enough to keep pace with the average broom, and she has decent control over her maneuverability.

Waterblend

Katsumi can enhance her agility in wet environments - whether it be a body of water, a downpour of rain, etc. Her movement seems unhindered by any type of water, and even enhanced by it in some cases. She seems able to hold her breath for an inhuman amount of time.

Hunter of Hunters

Katsumi is at her best when she is pursuing or stalking those who are caught off guard or on the backfoot. Her agility and stamina are enhanced when she is chasing or stalking her foes. She is also able to detect the state and position of her hunting Daemons, and telepathically transfer information with them.

Crafts

Dragonblood Tattoo

The heritage of the Nishimura family is one that deeply connects itself to the ancient dragon tales of lore. As such, they worship and emulate the magnificent beings, passing this brand down through their bloodline - in exchange for some magical cursing potential. Katsumi’s brand passively increases her senses of sight, hearing, and smell to impressive levels. Because she possesses the Black Dragon tattoo, she innately makes it more difficult for adversaries to track her; her scent is weaker, she moves more silently, and any tracks she leaves are rather faint. In exchange, it is excruciatingly difficult for her to learn any Curses outside of her 'Black Dragon’s Breath'.

Draconic Dominance

Katsumi has studied to learn the imposing nature of dragons, making it easier for her to influence the beings around her when she uses this spell. This makes it easier to intimidate Daemons or garner their respect, potentially even persuading them to follow her orders instead of someone else’s. This can also work on humans and vampires, but currently only in the form of a one-word command that isn’t directly harmful to the afflicted. To effect a human or vampire, Katsumi has to catch them off guard or render them susceptible to illusions in some way.
