Welcome to the New Beginnings tournament, sponsored by the combined financial backings of several prominent hyper-universe members. As per custom, Liaison has been chosen to host this inaugural tournament, in an effort to prevent bias from either backer.

The New Beginnings tournament will host several competitors who have never been in a combat situation, but want to test their mettle against those of a similar experience level.

To aid in this endeavor, Liaison has pulled some strings and pulled in several well regarded battlers to assist and instruct the newcomers on how such things work.

--- Rules ---

Standard Arena rules and guidelines apply; this is where the mentors come in. The standard will be T1, the common rule set of the arena.

The tournament will be single elimination, with an option for round robin if that is the preferred style of play.

God modding(basically playing god, being invincible, immortal, etc.). Batmanning(able to combat anything, anytime). Metagaming(using OOC knowledge that your character couldn't possibly know). Teleportation. All are illegal. Your mentors can help with the rest.

--- Character Sheet ---

Characters will be simple and easy to use. One way to do this is to focus on a single weapon, an element, and a side element. Reference Sheet: roleplayerguild.com/posts/488234

Possible elemental combinations;

Fire/Heat
Air/Smoke
Water/Ice
Earth/Metal
Nature/Animals

How you use them is up to you. Lightning and it's ilk are barred for the time being.

So yeah, if anyone's interested in taking a more brawler/hand-to-hand approach, i'm willing to help out with that.

I would like to use a more dumb-down version of Xaih by limiting her to using only water in battle. If that's okay, I'll fill out your character sheet with her info then! If not, I have other characters to choose from, so no worries. :)

How much experience do you all have? One of my compatriots expressed concerns.

Xiah will need to be placed in the character section, and judged.

I have roughly three years of experience, but I also have been out of the roleplaying scene for the past three-to-four years, if that makes a difference.

Three years in the arena, or in roleplaying? If the latter, how much has been split between each?

@Rilla Three years in rolepaying. I spent more time involved in roleplays than in fighting, and I still believe I can do much better in the arena/have a lot to learn yet. When I first joined here, I recall having a couple of fights in the arena, but since I've been away from it for so long, I figured starting at the bottom again would be appropriate.

Very Well. You're slight experience will be noted, and taken into consideration with whatever character you submit. From what I've seen, you should be mostly acceptable, assuming you make the aforementioned changes. Of course, an official Acceptance or Decline will only be given once the sheet is entered and reviewed thoroughly.

Probably a couple billion smirkles, the Liaison knows a guy who knows a guy.

The cost in number of black & milds it takes for Rilla to read through all the character sheets, form his weird deranged liaison post and watch in amusement as fresh fighters from across the multiverse compete in trying to dismantle one another.

And for me, I'm guessing just a bottle of Tequila should work.

Liaison is a middle man, numbers are not his concern. Everything has been paid in full, including his own personal bank account, which is filled with less money and more 'chips'.
