@ImportantNobody You know the contests that are hosted here that are writing contests? They give away a title for under your avatar (kinda like moderator, except not with the powers, and obviously named something else.)

I was thinking something like that. It's just for aesthetics, but it gives you a reason to compete because it looks badass.

@Buddha

I saw the contests but honestly just ignored them. XD

We could do that and have it for the top 3 ranking people in the arena or something. New people coming it have a chance if the ranks reset every so often.

Arena isn't technically declining, it's just mainly stagnating. I have tried some unusual battles in the past such as a team of tanks against each other, but it didn't work out. We definitely need to do something if we are to stop stagnating unless we're fine with that.

Giving physical rewards would likely breed a bunch of salty behavior and metagaming in order to win the prize, so I'd be against that. We did include win/loss stuff on profiles, which in theory should bring more motivation for people to try to rise in the ranks if people cared about that more.

As an arena person...don't want to sound like I'm betraying my own kind, but I don't see a huge problem with merging it with 1x1 other than the fact that I search a forum to see if it has it, so might miss it and not join if I don't think there is an arena. If merged stuff make it clear what's in it there's not a super huge downside from my point of view. In the thread titles could say something like [arena] or whatever specific 1x1 it is.

New character idea. Telekenetic control over a bookcase.

THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL (Team Battle - Nobody Vs. Doc)

@Doc Doctor

Umbard didn’t care about the subtleness of wind or minor chills, especially when he had a foe to cleave open. However, he was certainly not one to ignore the less than subtle smack against his lefts that sent him hurling to the floor. He let out a manly growl in surprise.

“Why you little-“ he tried to say as he turned to face whatever did that to him, only to find himself being yanked downward.

He raised his axe in his hand and attempted to cleave straight on through the tentacle right as he was soaring through the air, bellowing out a battle cry.

Evvie turned her head at this, momentarily distracted from her pursuit, to find Umbard to have vanished. She was confused why he would have jumped down into the pit and alow her all the glory of defeating this bad man. Maybe he was clumsy and fell in?

“You stay right there!” Evvie shouted to the bad man, letting out a burst of fire his way before turning and sprinting over to the edge of the hole, looking down. She could catch the man again, but her ally might be in danger right now.

I got distracted by new games such as Zelda but I will definitely shoot for tomorrow to post my character excerpt.

The Tournament of Valhalla

Not many other people posting here yet. Get to it people!

@ImportantNobody So what if Zomcyvvie gets bitten by a vampire? Does she become Vamzomcyvvie the vampire zombie cyborg dragon girl, or does the vampire turn into a dragon zombie vampire?

Yeah, I didn't do my homework on Evvkind in biology class. I learned about the Evvia Evvia and Evvia Automatus species, but I'm not sure on how they interact.

@Lalliman

In all seriousness, I truly did resolve this issue in main canon in her other character sheet that says she cannot be turned into a vampire, werewolf, etc. thanks to the half dragon blood within her, but she can become a zombie, which likely happens in some zombie apocalypse alternate reality in my multiverse...that would be totally ripping off marvel zombies.

How about my third favorite species, Evvia Catgirlus! I honestly have no lore planned out for the half catgirl evvie clone other than she was created as part of experimentations with other "half animal" variations and she's one of the main ones. However, she's weaker than Cyvvie and Evvie by a lot. One half animal clone will be more powerful than the half dragon evvie, perhaps. Could be pretty cool.

Okay, I admit, I think I give Evvie way too much special treatment over my other characters but I can't help myself.

The Tournament of Valhalla

If Evvie dies she comes back as Cyvvie.

@Lalliman

It wouldn't make sense for her to turn into her clone. She'd actually be a Zomcyvvie, a zombie cyborg different than Cyvvie. Now if Cyvvie died and turned into a zombie she'd be Cyzomvie the cyborg zombie dragon clone girl. Looks like someone didn't read the official lore book of Evvie-kind. Thanks to her cyborg brain attachment she remains sentient.

The Tournament of Valhalla

I intend to use him as a villain/anti-hero in a story at some point, so I figured this is a good opportunity to practice writing him.

@Lalliman

Watch him die in the first battle. Actually, it would be nice if we could come in with additional characters after one dies or else half the player base is out of the roleplay in the first round of conflict. If Evvie dies I could come in with my new character...Evvie Clone #97765!

I'll likely post my writing sample tomorrow.

Edit: I wonder how Markus would view Evvie. He didn't like endangering children, although Evvie is sort of between child and adult. I imagine you mean like 12 year olds, as Evvie is old enough to handle herself. He better figh fair and square or else she shall get revenge!

The Tournament of Valhalla

@ImportantNobody
1) Yes, killing quickly is optional but recommended.
2) Character sheet looks good, aside from a few spelling/grammar mistakes.
3) Is Evvie pronounced "eh-vee" or "ee-vee"? I'm conflicted about which it would be.

@JaceBeleren

1) I'll try to do so if it makes sense. A battle ending in as little as three posts could feel rushed to me most of the time unless they get some good content in those three posts, which is possible given the format here. I was mainly worried because in the arena a post is generally one attack, so someone could kill your battle hardened warrior in only three punches. The way this roleplay works it seems to alleviate that if the post is composed of multiple exchanges.

2) don't know if it was from the original sheet or the edits I did, which would make more sense. Or actually some of the grammar mistakes in the abilities and such could be intentional depending on what mistake because it saves words, omits periods at the end of only one sentance, etc. it wouldn't hurt for me to fix it anyways though. Could also be not capitalizing the first word of the sentance...which may or may not be on purpose as well. Mwahahahaha!

3) it's pronounced eve (as in Adam and Eve) and how you pronounce the letter v (unless you're from Great Britain and they pronounce it weird). The v is pronounced twice if you want the super accurate version but just saying ee-vee is so similar most might not notice. Some words in English are similar where we tend to make the two letters together into a single sound. For example, I think letter would be let ter. Don't know how many people actually pronounce it that way. Or maybe I'm just completely mistaken about that grammer.
