Inspired by [a new anime called The Rolling Girls](http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/895/870/52b.png), this will be a battle that's not to be taken seriously like "omg! You can't do that! His strike could only have generated 40 pounds of force in that stance, and another thing...". So yeah, this is a battle for us to let loose and have some fun with it! As long as you don't spoil the fun for others/break the battle by becoming too god moddy then you should be okay.

The plot sort of borrows from what I know of the anime but changes it with a bunch of my own ideas as well and moves the setting. On an Earth where magic exists and on a man made island in the middle of the ocean, many different groups inhabit it and claim it as their own. However, there was never any legal claim by any nation and only the owner who built it, a rather eccentric man, can act sort of like it's king. The other groups just have their own systems of government in place that only govern those in the group. The groups turn to him to resolve the issue of these power struggles and he says that to settle the manner the various groups can fight among each other in nonlethal war. This is accomplished by way of a magical field (given energy by all living things on the island) generated inside the island that stops people from being able to die from battle damage. When they take damage a bunch of light and sparkly energy erupts out of them in an awesome way, and if they take too much damage that would have been lethal then they're just knocked unconscious, even if they're hit by a massive explosion that knocks them through 5 steel walls. Even if they're strangled, for example, the energy fills up their body and keeps them alive, just passed out.

Each officially recognized group is offered a home flag, and if you bring a flag back to your home base then you gain authority over the territory from where that flag belonged to. Of course if everyone votes on the issue they can willingly give all the flags to the person they want in power, but this plot point isn't for this arena battle that will involve us fighting over them. The battle doesn't have to take place at the home base itself to steal the flag because the territory can be well defended leading up to the flag, so most of the time the invaders can't get close enough to even see the flag. 

So anyways, the most physically powerful people can jump as high as buildings, move in the blink of an eye, and punch through steel walls. We don't need to get into high levels of detail on exact level of powers, we'll just agree who's faster, stronger, etc. and by around how much (like a lot faster, a little bit stronger, etc.) and fit that into how the battle goes without stressing too much about it. Some people are only around normal human abilities all the way up to this most powerful examples, leaving a wide gap of power between canon fodder and the elite. Our characters can be among the elite but you are perfectly welcome to have some low level mook characters running about trying to "survive" the chaos. Just normal swings of an elite's weapon can blow people around like rag dolls if they are weak. There are various magical abilities that you can have. I won't say what you can and can't do at the moment, we'll just see once everyone posts their character if everyone feels that it will be an acceptable and fun character to fight. That being said, even time stopping powers might not be banned depending on how well you balance such abilities to make the battle still enjoyable for everyone. There might be more than just this one battle taking place in this setting if things go well, so the same character can be used again as long as everyone in those battles also deem them acceptable to fight.

Anyone interested? If you have any character ideas you might as well post them here to see everyone's opinions from the get go to have an idea what you might need to adjust to make them funner to fight against, if anything.
