Simply enough, practice. Most people will tell you if they think your character is too tough for their character at the same teir. After a few bouts, you will suddenly start getting a better idea. The Arena is ever-changing, and something considered silly and useless one day could be the debate of tomorrow. You just go with the flow, get a few argument points in to keep the Arena Gods happy, and you're good to go. Above all, don't take any of this ridiculously serious. It's meant to be fun, no matter how much these weirdos argue over petty stuff. Adapt, continuously grow and write, sacrifice your first born children, and just have fun. People way over-complicate things when they join the arena, typically, which is why it stays so small as far as people. When, truth be told, it's just as easy as jumping in the deep in and learning as you go. No one can REALLY tell you how you need to battle or what the tiers are and whatnot. It's all really just opinions and constantly subject to change.

@Impaqt

This is fairly spot on.

I am not available for individual fights currently, focusing on RL and keeping my limited fight time open for tournament events.

We are in a tourney phase, but I am sure you can rustle up a brawl.

Often when making a character, I will examine the HX of the character. What makes the character special enough to write about. Why, as a writer, do I feel this character is worth my time and investment? Can I find interest in the character and motivation to explore the character completely if I can, then I have a main character that I want to write about. I don't throw out a thousand characters simply because I want to focus on a few quality characters that I find enjoyable to write about.

Read over your characters, find the one(s) that you want to know more about, the characters whose histories are worth exploration as well as seeing where their futures lie.

Yup. Thankfully there's Game and Film theory to do the heavy research for me for allot of the things I'm interested in. I mean I had no idea before that DBZ was using actual theoretical science in their fights. That must throw Skalla's whole world into wack.

I mean, I might not have even learned that their are four fundamental stats of matter not three(never mind that only 1% of the universe is made up of liquid, solid and gas's) as we have been lead to believe in school. Goes to show you the Arena is where you go to really learn SCIENCE!

@GreivousKhan

Not really. DBZ is science fiction, heavy on the fiction. And they admittedly retcon'd the mythic that DBZ is based upon. Some of the science is right, but a majority is so far out that science can be discarded and left as fiction.

I come from the DM line of writers, in where I know all to well that if you stat it, they will try and kill it. Just look at Skallagrims... Dreamer Skallagrim in the first Multiverse. Everyone one wanted to fight him never mind how ridiculously strong he was. XD

Ao doesn't even have a sheet, and I don't plan on making one for him.

@GreivousKhan

I will have to send you the requested information this weekend Khan, I need to finish my position paper first.

The Angar-Ryllan are not evil per se, but they are driven by the need to destroy their demons (Dreamers) and to bring their civilizing mission to all lesser species in the multiverse. All hail the Eternal Queen, most merciful light that pierces the shadowed dreams.

Oh no doubt, especially Liaison.

You people and your large group of (un)ethical bastards. :p

@Alphakoka

Human ethics don't apply to non-human entities. While I understand some people confuse ethics with acting in some socially acceptable manner,moral equivalency doesn't apply. What is ethically best for one species may harm another.

Arena Chat Thread

The Dreamers could care less about a species' perception of good/evil. What defines a "badguy" that Evvie would automatically take someones word for it? Good/evil are subjective.
