<Snipped quote by Skallagrim>

I'm extremely interested in becoming involved in this multiverse. It does seem, however, that the major participants are powerful characters. I myself am hoping to start with a low character and see him grow through character interaction. The difficulty I am running into is how to grow when all of the RP is battle oriented. Am I able to fill gaps in the timeline, thus enhancing my character, or should I do this through other means?

It's your timeline, you can fill it in however you want. Combat could be considered turning points in your character's history, where-as everyday events can be worked out outside of the Arena. For example, a lot of Fury's backstory was just worked out between me and Skallagrim in OOC chat. Ultimately it's up to you.
