Sorry if this has been answered before, but what are the rules concerning death of a character in the arena? Or at all, for that matter? I only have one character which I've been using since I started RPing as a teenager, and in my previous RP forum there used to be a 21-day re-spawning rule. Is there something similar here?

We tend to keep things on a multiversal/ parallel universe concept. Time is extremely wonky. You can be engaged in two fights with the same character but the fights are in different points on your character's historical timeline. Death when it does happen is not permanent unless you wish it to be for your characters.
