I was thinking the win losses would be keeping track of character win losses in the challenge thread. You could put two and two together to find out your total record based on your characters if you are so inclined.
That seems fair. As an inactive player you keep your points but loose your ranking until you regain activity. Next to the points it usually says "3rd" or whatever but now it says "Unranked". You don't have to have a point or rank penalty coming back in, you just come back into the rank where your points would place you.
There could be participation points to increase everyone's points a bit over time rather than keeping the average stuck at 1,000 for infinity and boss battles where the charactes who win get a lot of points and the boss is a NPC so doesn't loose points for the people controlling him. That could help the more active players get higher then the ones who drop out and then come back later without penalizing their own points (other than their forfeit in the match if they dropped out mid match).

Wager is good. Maybe if people wouldn't want to bother fighting someone for that little points then more could be wagered to offer more incentive. Of course a lot of people probably don't care but some might.
Inactive people would usually be in the middle of the rankings unless they get inactive later on, which could have them anywhere.

Bonus points would do the trick, although Rilla is against it. That way people would loose points for making people wait and be inactive so they wouldn't end up with potentially higher than average points then the good sport active people.
If they manage to defeat such a skilled player then they deserve a bonus. I'm not for or against putting up a maximum win/loss number.
With this system it's kind of odd, though, that the inactive people will probably have more points then at least half the people. If people win/lose the same amount then it will average to the starting amount, but they could end up with more points if less then 50% of people win matches, making there more losers so more people under the starting amount. Of course there could be more winners than losers as well, but that would stink for the one guy loosing to everyone. Poor thing.

That would make the most sense.
The 10% plan is better then the stealing the place for one victory plan so I'll go with that one.
Name: Saanga Revault
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance: He has a russet (sort of reddish brown) skin tone. His fierce looking eyes are a striking aqua color. His hair is grey and often experiencing "helmet hair". He's clearly in shape.
Personality: He's happy-go-lucky, friendly, a prankster, and outgoing, always willing to help out and be the hero. However, he might try too hard to be the hero at times. He's not afraid to make fun of himself when he does silly things but him trying too hard often goes over his head and he keeps making the same mistakes.
Abilities
Physical Abilities- He's athletic in a balanced way and is not normally super enhanced. Even so he can take on most normal people in a fight. He has quick reactions surpassing normal human capabilities.
Combat Training- He's not a master of any weapon but is decent at unarmed, swords, chakrams (large circular blades), and a broadsword type weapon shaped sort of like a spade (I will just have to draw this for you guys to give you a better picture). He tends to prefer a brute force approach to things.
Equipment
Armor- His armor, named Valkanohs, is part of a special collection of armor made to be superior to all others. This special armor is still simply called armor, which may seem silly, but it's usually obvious when someone is talking about these special armors based on context and/or grammar. For example, you can say "I found four armors" and have it make sense grammatically. Saying "suit of armor" is in reference to normal armor. No armor wearer would make such a mistake.
Valkanohs's defensive capabilities are incredibly high, able to survive multiple tank rounds and bombing runs for over 10 seconds before serious damaging occurs, only taking major damage from other armor attacks from their setting or other powerful attacks from elsewhere in the multiverse. Even blunt force trauma is absorbed pretty well as to not rattle around the wearer inside too much. Heat based damage is negligible, keeping the wearer inside at a safe temperature if not entirely comfortable if things heat up enough outside.
Valkanohs has lava based powers as the name suggests. This is the source of all Saanga's magical abilities listed under powers. His body provides the energy for lava creation so is not unlimited but is enough to last around 10 minutes of intensive fighting.
Powers
Heat Ride- Heat builds up inside his suit and is released out of two back vents where the shoulder blades are, the huge volume of steam shooting down propelling him forcefully in the opposite direction. The heat is painful if directly near him but not likely fatal. He can travel 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) in a single burst which takes a charge time of 5 seconds, the distance he travels relative to the charge time. The maximum speed he can achieve is supersonic, traveling this max distance in under two seconds. It's important to note that he'd have time to recharge completely while still in the air unless fired too low. It's also important to note that he can go at any angle from straight upwards to straight ahead.
Magma Outlet- Magma flows out of a circular opening on the armor of his palms or soles. It can form into a shape and cools within 3 seconds. It's important to note that his magma is not comprised of normal rocks but is instead more metal-like in appearance like black steel when cooled, although is still technically rock. He uses Magma Outlet most often to form weapons but it can come in handy to form other tools. He even formed a surfboard out of his soles once to ride a river of magma. It can form a defensive layer around himself but it cannot move while hardened and he can no longer go back to controlling it magically even if it melts.
Scald Shield- Any damage to his armor is met with a flow of magma to spray out at the attacker or reform the damaged area in the same way as his normal magma outlet.
Grand Eruption- His most powerful move. He holds out at least one magma outlet, often both palms together, together after charging up for as long as 30 seconds. All of that stored energy doesn't come out like the normal stream but is instead an insanely powerful eruption of lava that few things can withstand. If he holds the charge for any longer then he'd potentially blow himself up.
Bio
He was outcast onto a deserted island with other children who showed signs of armor synch capabilities, which allows people to "fit" a certain special armor. His village greatly feared the Armored Empire and what they'd do if they found such kids in their village. It was not entirely selfish of the villagers but also, in their mind, for the kid's own good. The Empire would force them to become armor wearers to serve as their elite warriors or kill them if that was not going to work out. Plus, if the villagers hid them then they would also be destroyed.
Many of the children died off, being basically normal people without any armor to wear. However, he and two others survived for five strenuous weeks. By then the villager's fear was indeed correct and the Empire was going on a rampage, engaged in combat with rebel forces lead by some armor wearers. The battle also took place in airships over the water. Sensing his defeat at the hands of an imperial officer, the rebel general named Villeus sensed Saanga way down on the island and tossed it down there after concealing him and the officer in a cloud of steam. The officer wasn't as skilled at sensing such things so didn't know what had happened until it was too late.
Saanga had been wishing upon the "fallen star" for an armor, which was actually the armor itself falling to him, giving him a start as it crashed into the sand in front of him and his two friends who had been teasing him about how insane it would be if he ever got his hands on one. He fit the armor perfectly and managed to kill the weaker armor wearer sent to try and locate him, but not without the brave efforts of his friends. General Villeus was thrown in jail now that he had no way to escape or fight back. Saanga's armor seems to be able to sense him and gives Saanga the urge to return back to the armor's old master. However, the journey will be a difficult one if he doesn't want to just see him as another prisoner.

I wouldn't mind points. That way if you're epically winning every battle then just lose one battle you won't go down a place. Winning the battle would get you a certain amount of points and you can get bonus points through other means. You can loose points for randomly dropping out, loosing the match (of course), refusing to get hit to a questionable degree, etc. If you are a great sport during the battle then you might not lose that many points if your character loses.
