One by one. All across galaxies, dimensions, and time; intelligent life has been stolen from existence just before their death or event that causes a major point in their thread of fate. No one ever knew where they went or why they were chosen. Most don't even realize that such a ridiculous thing can happen. But for some, it is a reality that marks a new chapter in their life. One cut off from the world they once knew for reasons unknown.

-----

Each player will be playing a character of their own choice and design, to be trapped in a two-layered complex at an unknown point in time and space. Each character will be outfitted with an irremovable collar, suppressing all major powers until scheduled summons transport them into a 1v1 arena. Although the fight is to the death; before termination of either party, both contestants rejoin their fellow prisoners until the next scheduled fight. Though all tournaments must end, not all should be allowed to finish.

Apart from race, background, and all the finer details of a character sheet (which will be released with OOC); characters will be comprised of two major sections. While for the most part I will let most any concept be allowed; the 'collars' will dampen everything to an even playing field.

Abilities: Parts of your character that stem off a more natural side effect of what they are. Something that wouldn't probably be cut off from usage even with a nullifying collar attached.

Powers: Parts of your character that show what they can do. Be it magic, spirits, or old fashion super powers. This is your arsenal against other players, or whenever your collar isn't activated. Most objects and items of note can be found with relative ease for those that want to get a bit more mundane.

Ideally I'd like a good number of people. While there is no hard limit, if this ever gets too popular I may trim it down or request additional aid.

@I Need A Name I'm interested.

Is there any room in this for characters that get their powers from the equipment they use? Say a character who uses advanced technology or magical artefacts rather than possessing those powers naturally?

@King Cosmos Yup. Any and all character types are welcome here.

Any thing specific (ie holy relics, ...) can be transported along with them. And everything else is available for characters to use.

---

Also, for example, beings tied to certain planes and normally could't leave are also welcomed here. Keeping their power as if they were still in that plane.

I imagine this kind of RP can also be applied to the Arena section of the forum . Besides that, I'm also interested

Just to make sure I understand this; the combatants are expected to fight as if they were fighting to the death but the bouts are stopped before anyone actually dies. Is this going to be in a tournament format or is this just gladiatorial in nature?

This idea sounds pretty interesting to me. My idea so far is Castor Swaine, human Martian in an advanced age of humanity. He's a colonial guardsman on the distant planet of Odysseus, where a mysterious force in the alien wilderness has been whispering to him secrets and stories.

Abilities:
•Combat Training - Trained by his parents in basic self-defense, then trained by the United Colonies to be a colonial guardsmen in general combat expertise (but mostly geared towards defence against alien wildlife, though pirates are not an unknown threat).

Powers:
•Cybernetic Arm - A military grade cybernetic arm. He opted to have no skin cover it, choosing to instead flaunt its machine qualities. Capable of blocking bullets and crushing bones, not to mention moving with far more precise movements than a regular hand, allowing more accurate shots with a gun.

•Wired Nerves - His nervous system has also been enhanced, allowing him to react much faster than a normal human, roughly double speed.

??? - After making contact with the voice in the wilds, he's felt strange ever since. He gets migraines and stomachaches a lot, but he also seems almost superhuman. He barely feels pain, his eyesight seems... different, almost as if he is perceiving more shades of color, and his strength seems to have almost doubled, even with his non-cybernetic arm.

That's all I got so far. If you need anything changed, just say so.

@King Cosmos More just gladiatorial in nature. While I will have W/L to help determine who fights who, its mostly just an arena fight to pit prisoners against each other. You can even reasonably challenge other players if people specifically had a want to face each other.

I'm kinda hoping this would evolve more than just a fight club (though that's perfectly fine with me). Allowing for downtime to mull about and create drama. Plot will mostly happen here.

@Vega7 Looks good as a concept, though I'll post a character sheet with the OOC that you can adapt to. I won't really be judging until the completed sheet is submitted.

----

That said, I'd like to at least get a couple more interest before I start it. If we can.
