@LeeRoy You are looking for someone in the Fury/Skallagrim range?

Well, tell you what, let me get some feel for Kali first with Skallagrim then I'll sick Iron on you next. Sound like a plan? By that time, I might have a PC up for Lee Roy as well.

:p We'll see if he sticks around first or falls victim to my Jinx. Right now, I would be happy if I could even finish one match from start until end.

@Fallenreaper

I am going to be here, I have a rather vested interest in my fight with Melon. I don't wish to give a victory to him via dropping out. So human normal, close quarter combat. I can do that.

My error, Kali is moderately powered? I recall her but vaguely.

There is still a lot of fight left. I still have tricks up my sleeve.

@Fallenreaper I can spar with you on a relaxed posting schedule.

RPGuild Ranking Headquarters!

Sure.

Does one have to be a ranked fighter in order to host? What does hosting involve, exactly? I'm assuming there's a degree of refereeing, along with the fluff/background, and possibly arena design...

I don't know if I'd be allowed to be the main host (I've only done a couple of fights here, neither of which were officially judged). However, I could have a go at it if the duties are made clear, or at least help out with the kind of thing I mentioned above, if needed.

@Drifting Pollen

@Drifting Pollen You would host. I and Rilla will be here to help. The setup, ruleset, arena and power level are yours to detirmine. Although a human enhanced tourney is my recommendation less work overall.

Thanks @LeeRoy the secret is of course a quality opponent who can work with a host of unknowns without crying foul and seek out a judges ruling.

Don't be hard on yourself, you did okay. Find another dance partner and go around again.

Don't be hard on him, he fears you.

Arena FAQ/Advice

how wins/lost works, how battles usually play out, and what are the tiers of characters?

@WarpedReality

Win/Loss is self-explanatory. Fights themselves are left to the combatants to work out the parameters unless it is a tournament, in which case the rules are preset and must be abided by. When engaging in a fight, most of us use the T1 Eden era or some variant of those rules to conduct our fights. See my signature of you want to learn more about T1.

Ranked matches require a judge to make sure that everyone is playing fair and to settle any disputes regarding actions/defense/damage by the characters in the fight. Judges rulings are final, although a second Judge may be called upon when things get really nit-picky so establishing the judges right away prior to the fight is important when you want to ensure quick resolutions that are fair.

Tiers for characters, such as they are, are fairly simple. Human, Enhanced, Moderately Powered, then Powered. Some use Godly as well but really? No one likes fighting at those levels much. Human and Enhanced are fairly simple to discern when comparing characters. Moderately powered and Powered are where most people get snagged up. So sharing CS's with your opponent and negotiating power levels is pretty much standard.

Most of us have scalable characters which can slot into the enhanced, M-P and Powered ratings easily enough depending on whom we are facing. Others have specific characters set for each power rating.

When building a character, if there is a question, you can always submit it in the GuildHQ thread and ask for advice on how to better make the character fit into the arena framework for characters, although there is no established CS, there are important elements that have to be addressed. Powers (explained in detail), equipment (explained in enough detail to make clear what it can and cannot do.) Some backstory if you are looking to make a persistent multiverse character that can be in multiple storylines and places. Make the backstory accessible to others who may want to build upon something so there is a natural rivalry or alliance.

Have Fun.
