Because, in general, people don't like their property getting away from them. And slaves are generally put under the whole 'try to escape and you die/get tortured' contract. And owners really like enforcing those.

And guards really don't wanna get punished for watching a kid escape.

@Rilla

I think the point was that once she got out the arena, the guards wouldn't do anything to stop her because they don't know the child is an escaped slave. They're just walking around town doing their normal guard related activities so don't pay a lone child a second glance.

Arena FAQ/Advice

I admit my main characters as children were indeed still overpowered at the time because one of them (10 years before the main story so about 9) jump kicked the face of a giant behemoth and killed him in a single blow despite him being heavily feared among the other warriors.
The story clearly has some anime influences and characters in the multiverse can grow to insane levels of power like dragon ball z although usually on the level of taking on armies by themselves rather than blowing up planets. That being said, if people can be that powerful then it only makes sense they'd be overpowered even as children when put up against normal folk. It's harder to explain in settings where everyone has a more consistent power level, in which case the child wouldn't have much of a chance, if any, unless a prodigy at around 8 or so like I prefer for youngest.

Not if her opponent's underestimated her and she was a prodigy who survived long enough from underestimating to get legitimately good.

She's probably not 100% like earthlings anyways. In one of my story things the main characters were epic even as children although in late teens during the main story. They are human but not from earth.

Imagining a tough character getting beaten up by a child is amusing, at least.

Arena FAQ/Advice

My youngest characters I'd probably play as would be around 8 to 12 where it's more reasonable if they are an awesome prodigy they can still kick some butt.

Arena FAQ/Advice

Children could have some fun banter, having less of a filter on what they say and having unique spins on things, being more creative then adults and such. Some characters obviously couldn't banter well with them if they are too serious or would be out of character to do such things with a child rather then just telling them to stop being a brat. It also depends on what classifies as a child. Naruto is 14 or something but is more reasonably acting like an adu-...okay, he doesn't act like an adult but other characters of his age do. I would say children would count as either before teenager or before adult according to the national standard for the US, so 17 and younger. If we go by that definition, though, I have mostly children characters.

Good. Beatin' chirrun is illegal.

@Rilla

A bunch of children characters are coming to attack you.

So do we need to set up something so people know that fighters are available?

@Skallagrim

That's a good idea. I'd assume each person would have a post and edit it to say "battle ready", "in battle", or "not battle ready".

After a long period in limbo I think I'm going revisit these old stomping grounds. And not because anyone said I should. :K

That is, as soon as I get a new laptop. Might be nice to see some old faces.

@GreivousKhan

Curses! I thought I lost you!
