LeeRoyHello everyone, It's me again, With two Questions:
1. how does arena combat work, because it perplexes me how the system works, like how do you determine if you successfully hit the opponent or, you dodge a bullet ,or, That your magic pierces through the enemy's armor, things like that without an external object (dice for example.) to determine success. I do know that I saw in the Characters tab of @GreivousKhan's arena , ( I forget the dudes name.) had this one elf character, and in the Profile/Information it did mention how much weight she could lift and how fast she could run. I can deduce that It is obviously a Information to determine results inside of an arena.Just give me the best explanation of how combat works.
2.What are the rules regarding characters:
a.what requirements in terms of information should a character have (obviously, they can not be completely god-like/invincible.)
b.do you keep the character you made if he/she wins, or can you make a different combatant.
c.If they lose, are they in most cases dead with the exception of characters like those created by @GreivousKhanand@DJAtomika who are immortal.
d.are there roleplays where the characters are more realistic, Considering your characters from the descriptions i have read of them are practically super-heroes/villains, and as cool as that sounds (and I will do that, I am not against playing Uber-powerful characters, I want to play a character who is more down-to-earth.(silly question IK, but just asking in advance if I ever play ranked and try to gain points for a future season.) Thank you in advance.

1. You have to consider what would happen if they were really fighting. So let's say human intellect bear and dog are fighting. I imagine in my head how much the bear would do to the dog if he hits (pretty substantial). However, I can also imagine the dog is able to outmanuever the bear somewhat. Therefore, if the bear delivers a claw attack at the dog, the character playing the dog has to figure out if the dog would have time and opportunity to dodge the claw. If he didn't believe it would be possible in this case, such as the bear surprise him and came at him from the side, then the dog would be forced to take the blow. The dog user would say the damage sustained, having the dog be flung through the air with massive gashes on it's body being a realistic outcome. Not everyone posts their exact strength, but we can make our best guesses.
2. There are no real rules, but people won't fight your character if they are unfair. Some people have god-like characters. Post all of the relevant info to the battle and people also like other stuff such as personality and backstory. Not everyone requires it if they want to fight just for fighting sake, but it tends to help. You can keep and make as many characters as you want. They can die, I'm not sure in most cases or not but expect it to happen sometimes. If the story is part of a canon with other stories then they may either stay dead or have some excuse to come back to life, like comic book heroes. Battles don't all have to take place in the same canon so they could be alive and well in another fight without mentioning their death at all from the other fight. You can have realistic battles. Most have magical powers at the moment but you could surely find realistic battles if you look.
