Now... to stir @Tearstone. *begins to summon*

Maybe if my guy has magical gem whatevers in his heart he's immune to that robotic disease.

@ImportantNobody

That ends up into the area of helping/aiding his brother, though if Jacer attempts to swipeafter learning about it is a whole matter. Personally any 'cure' I don't want permanent as others, from Jacer's world, will be looking for that cure and being able to tie Jacer into the Infinity War alliance would be hard. Namely cause potential conflicts, backstabbing, and more is lost because of that when it comes to story.

Now I just need to get his CS done. I've already got most his attributes down working on the actual construct system. Including limited barriers, item construction, and spell effects. Then Learned skills section, other equipment and back story finally. >,< Ironically, I'm aiming for a low-mid level Powered PC really. I just I get it right. Oh.. and my favorite, personality. -_-

I'll get on that ASAP!

Athena: "Silly mortal. I said "convince", not convince. Also, if everyone told you that prior to Columbus' voyage to the East Indies humanity believed that the world was flat, would you believe them?"

@Dedonus

You're calling me silly? I'm not mimicking a child's cartoon show lady. The only question is, will Icon actually fall for it like the cartoon hero or actually float away? That is the question of the hour.

The Multiverse: Arena

@Fallenreaper You know, I've noticed you write a LOT. No complaints, not insulting or anything, but you're tremendously wordy.

@LeeRoy

Yeah, I get that a lot. It gets worse the more excited I am so you can tell when I'm really getting into a fight or discussion by how much I write sadly. >,<

Arena Chat Thread

A lot of times, it's hard to help new people. They either don't ask, ask and vanish, or just do their own thing. Some people have messaged me about characters and then... nothing. Just vanished. So I don't really worry about it, if they wanna know they'll ask.

Another thing is, the potential for the 'teacher' to just use the time as a way to just beat the shit outta the new person, for the lolz. We actually, occasionally, warn against that.

@Rilla

I have had the same experiences as Rilla, so it is difficult to get excited when a new person enters the arena asking for advice.

@Skallagrim

Understandable, though in my case, Lyzan's method was positive and had a purpose. Mainly the pm was originally a normal rp with arena elements stirred in. It helped a lot in my case to prevent the whole just beat up on the student as my PC literally was being built from scratch. Rach was a normal, harden bitch without any fighting style compared to what Lyzan's PC would end up teaching her. In the end, the result would've been an actual high end tier PC. That might've been one of the biggest factors that prevented the whole punching bag syndrome.

The Multiverse: Arena

Maybe his planet becomes interfered with in that war that will spur him into going out into the multiverse and he thinks your group somehow has all the answers.

@ImportantNobody

There's actually many possibilities that could play out to get him to align to cause conflict. His brother Dom, for example, is a key one. The kid's only in his early teens and becoming what his people nicked as an 'Enslaved' which is a human being processed into a cybernetic slave. They lose who they are then end up attacking their loved once or becoming a work force, but this ends up happening gradually over time. Right now, Dom was infected over a month ago and already his arm is nothing but robotic as his cells are converting to metal. He also bleeds mercury. The sad part about 'Ensalve', there's only condition Jacer would have to meet so he could keep his brother with the rest of the survivor, or anyone could really. That condition is when the brain is actually affected than Jacer actually has to murder his own brother.

So anything in regards to helping, threatening, killing or aiding them, or namely his brother, are incentives to get them on one side or another. As I've said before, I tend to intertwine story and fighting together best as I can like a novel.

Athena: Who needs modern weaponry? I have the Aegis. And if you mortals try to launch a nuclear warhead at me, I'll just "convince" Eikon to punt the missile into space.

@Dedonus

Don't you think he would question why they are launching a nuclear warhead at you in the first place? And according to the world, you're a myth so not much threat there.

The Multiverse: Arena

Maybe my character could be kind of Jacer's friendly rival. I was sort of thinking he had magical, elemental orbs in his body that could bring out powers and he has a life element orb in place of his heart.

@ImportantNobody

Is he actually from Jacer's home world?

Namely as it's in it's little, mini war itself as Jacer's bio will explain. Though there's a 3 way Infinity war going on, Jacer's world isn't acknowledged as part of it because they are being invaded by the Undyne and most humans in his world have been turned into Enslaved. I aim on the Undyne possibly being connected to one of the current Powers within the actual bigger war though for the multiverse, Jacer, his kid brother Dom and their pet Gizzi will be trying to get back to their own home world. The current rp entrance I'm wanting is actually a possible way to pull all the PCs, due to the fact the trio discover a artifact on Ebium which ends up transporting them to the bazaar that was set up. The artifact cracks, destroyed along with any chance they have to get back home instantly. So now they have to get home without being dragged into the current war going on or being killed. Which allows for a lot of conflict possibilities and interaction reasons. :p

If not, we could at least tie Jacer to him after all three of them arrive. Aiming on that attracting a lot of attention and be a rather comic relief while the little crew collects themselves.

@Darth

I think... that's the most I've ever seen from you save for one heated discussion before guildfall. Which I can't recall for the life of me, but still nice to know you're alive. Hi.

I am hardly upset. I have not started swearing. Hang around long enough and you will get to know everyones quirks.

@Skallagrim

<Snipped quote by Skallagrim>

Yeah, people assume something similar about me a fair bit.

@MelonHead

It's not easy telling through text and I can get on some people's nerves, especially when something is phrased a key way. Some times sentences don't register and it's not because it doesn't make sense, more or less because my brain won't translate it for me I guess you could say. So, it had to be reworded for me to finally click. It happens time to time. Also, some personalities don't mix well after all and it's no one's fault, just the way things work out sometimes.

@Fallenreaper As a n00b to the arena, what can we do to make the transition from RP to competitive arena Rp easier.

@Skallagrim

I've been stating them throughout my replies a bit but one of Darth's points about new players would help. However... and I could be wrong, but isn't that what the arena FAQ/Advice or Arena thread is actually for in a sense? Namely to help newbies and vets? >_> Which means I really should use it. XD

As for actually transiting from rp to arena, I think the multiverse would be best in this case as you mentioned it's not all combat. Which means there might be wider periods of interactions without an actual fight making it easy to alternate between the two different types. I won't stop normal rping any time soon, but my arena rping might increase if I can create a balance I like.

However, if you see in any battles or posts I make where I could've made a mistake or something is off then pop in correct me. Explain why it's incorrect, suggest other options are that's possible (not that I may take them. But it helps me think less linear) and the results of it. Also answering questions helps as well when they crop up in an ooc. If I fumble badly, don't assume I'm doing it to get an edge but assume it's because I didn't image it clearly enough or I misunderstood the physics behind it. Pause the fight and ask about it.

I just treated it as a normal RP..

@Descartes

I find it a bit hard when a match, not on a continuum or storyline, lasts only a scene and then it's over. Especially when you can't tie it into future matches fluidly or in some cases, find a reason to actually hit each other! XD

I think that's one of the reasons one of my favorite rps was Lyzan's training thread.

If I recalled right, it was a gladiator fantasy setting where fighters were basically captured, marched to the arena, tested then divided into houses. Where the goal for the pcs were to fight for freedom though their experience in the arena. First arrivals were sorted into houses based on their skills and such as I recall Onix was about to be put into the one with magic specializations before Redbeard, retired gladiator who gained his freedom, talked the dark Orc type creature into allowing her into his house (training group>. Sadly it ended before I could test her out.

I'm pretty sure Lyzan was aiming to use the entrance post for seeing my style, flaws and areas I needed to work on as well as show everyone else what they would be facing in the future. Though the non arena request would be facing NPCs, my foes were going to be treated as official PCs. I recall discussing that with him since I was co-gm at the time. It might be an example to recreate, including the option of working in groups as Khan's point makes sense, and use for rookies interested in the multiverse. It could be a frequent meet or stop for character teams to pick up new party members to further help (teach) them in plot/arcs. Though this is just a thought really.

<Snipped quote by Fallenreaper>

Nothing would stop them from participating in other battles with their chosen character. The Rookie Tournament is just that, for Rookies, so it would also be a good learning experience, hence keeping things simple - as well as slightly different, as everyone would play them differently. A water user vs water user could differ in how exactly they play them. For instance, Levius, my water user would use them to create extra arms, while another may use it purely to manipulate ice. Though you are right, they may not be able to participate without their 'muse', but then they can just not participate. I find elements easy to play, really.

Someone is really always gonna try to use adrenaline or something similar to give them an extra boost. So that's something I'll have to check during the acceptance process.

Stats are bad to start with, mainly, because a lot of people don't wanna have to use numbers when they are first learning something. In Rising Stars, however, it worked. Everyone was on the same level, but focused in different things. There was a systerm, but I can't be assed to recreate it. But basically; points 1-3 in each section cost 1 point each. Points 4-6 cost 2 points each. Points 7-9 cost 3 points.

We'll start with 20 for each character.

For instance: Points in skill(Total Cost)[reasoning]

Example

Character A:

Zanjutsu: 3(3)[One point for each]
Shunpo: 4(8)[One point for first three, 2 to achieve the 4th point, thus five points total in this one.]
Defense: 2(10)1 points for each]
Reiatsu/Kido: 3[1 points for each] -Reiatsu and Kido are split, but still equal 3-
Reiatsu 2/3(13)
Kido: 1/3
Intelligence: 1 (14)[One point for each]
Hakuda: 4(20)[1 point for first three, 2 points for 4th, making a total of 20 points.]

Character A:

Zanjutsu: 2(2)
Shunpo: 3(5)
Defense: 2(7)
Reiatsu/Kido: 6(16)
Reiatsu 2/6
Kido: 4/6
Intelligence: 2(18)
Hakuda: 2(20)

With the list, it's not really hard, but i'm lazy. So. Hahah.

But they are both essentially equal, but specialize in different things.

.

On weaknesses, yeah, some people don't list them and don't really ever hint at them. In Allaria, I ensure everyone does, because it makes them seem better.

@Rilla

Wholly shit, ghosts from the past!!! Don't mind me I was on this wonderful site called Bleacher once where I started rping, which, actually started off with stats. Though... it was a nightmare and even was revamped 2-3 times I believe. Drove me crazy but it was fun interacting when I actually got a chance. ^-^

Though I think Darth sort of covered anything I was about to go into with that aspect.
