The Arena Signup

[Biocore]

No, this isn't that UW-based fighting game.

Story: You have been taken from you homeland and forced to fight others for the enjoyment of the spectators. Your rulers can see everything you do. You cannot escape, the security is perfect.

You can try to make friends, but good luck keeping them; the average lifespan in this bloody pit is 4 days. You can continue fighting until you die a violent death, maybe earn some better food. Or, you can be a "hero" and stage a massive attack against security to try to escape. Of course, this usually never works. But you can try anyway, it's always fun to watch.

Now get going, gladiator!

Premises: You're a gladiator in an arena. As stated before, there's no way you can get out alone, and few will live long enough to help you. You can do a few things and interact with a few people, but most of your time should be spent training for your next match.

History/Information:

Notes: Age is optional. Element is optional for species without elements or characters that have somehow lost or never gained their element.

Powers are more energy-based things like shooting fire or telekineses , while Abilities are more physical things like superior running speed or nightvision.

Rules: Basic rules. No One-hit kills, no super powerful attacks that wipe out everything. Characters cannot die unless the owner wants them to. Also, the arena is indestructible. Any security devices triggered or destroyed will activate an alarm that will trap you and send several drones to stop you.

Am I in?

[Toanoopie]

1). Is this the actual game, or only a signup?
2). What do you think of this design for the arena?

[[[ Sorry, the pic isn't here, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET A PIC ONLINE FOR MATA NUI'S SAKE???!!!]]]


The platforms are coloured purple, the arenas themselves are orange, the main corridors are black and the main security walls are green.

There are more walls and corridors above ground, and some corridors and arenas are even placed underground, along with some of the rulers' living quarters.

[-=Dark Ness=-]

Toanoopie:
1. This is only the sign-up topic. Note how it's in the RPG Expansion Forum.
2. Interesting design. IMO it needs less other colors and more blood red.

2 1/2. Register at www.maj.com and follow the instructions for newbies.

I'll think about joining this in the meantime.

[Crono]

Question: can i be something other than a Bionicle?(Like a human?)

[Bundalings]

May we enter made up species?

~Bunda

[LORD INTERNET DOT COM]

I would assume yes, both of you. Variety makes this fun.

Bio I'll be joining as Nero or Adonis, would Nero's control powers be ok?

[Bundalings]

Okay, then I'll join as a Korukah as soon as I can come up with a satisfying character sheet. It'll be good to play as a bad guy for once, methinks.

~Bunda

[Toanoopie]

Thanx =Dark Ness=, I'll try it out when I have some time.

And by the way, those things aren't really these colours, it's just the colour I gave them on the map.

[Biocore]

Yes, you don't have to be Bionicle. I just put it in Bionicle RPGs because it takes place in a Bionicle-inhabited area.

Aegis, Nero's powers are fine but they would probably be limited to stop him from escaping.

[Brogen]

Meh...I could use a good old fashioned fighting game.
*Throws together a character*
Name: Ahk
Species: Bugbear
Weapons: B****** Sword, twin longswords, great axe, throwing knives
Powers: He has no special powers, other than martial abilities.
Abilities: He can fight, is incredibly strong, and tough, but his bulky gear makes dodging blows harder.
Picture/Description: His b****** sword is sheathed at his side, along with the longswords, one on either side of his body. The scabbards for these weapons are held onto the massive frame of the bugbear's body by means of steel chains which also wrap around his chest, creating a cradle where the axe is held on his back. Strapped to his shins are pouches which hold throwing knives. On his left arm is a full steel buckler shield, which provides protection without impeding the usefulness of that hand. Below the chains on his body is sparce leather armor that seems flimsy in comparison to his own hide, though the scarce metal reappears on his shoulders in the form of shoulder pads, on of which is spiked.
Personality: He's the tough warrior type, while not an idiot in the loosest sense of the word, he cares not for the scientific details, if something works, then it works. Being seperated from his race he feels awkward in relation to others, but is always ready for a fight.
History/Information: Always ready for a fight, Ahk will start a fight with his one sword, using both hands for the power attacks, but when this gets to the points that his opponent is ready to dodge these lunges, he opts to duel wield longswords for the quick attacks. When that fails he has his trusty battle axe polished and ready to tear flesh.

[Bundalings]

Name: Korukah Inlar
Age: Probably a couple hundred years old. =P
Species: Korukah
Weapons: Blizzard Mace(mace and chain type thing), two pickaxes, and a Rhotuka that can freeze things on contact.
Mask: N/A
Powers: Various weather related things, but, like all Korukah, he has a specialty: Hail. He can also turn into various weather elements: Snow, hail, rain, wind, lightning, even thunder, and in this form he can be very quick and very devastating.
Element: Weather
Abilities: If his massive bulk and terrifying strength aren't enough to make any lesser being cower, he has frightening dexterity with his mace. He uses his back spikes to they're full potential as well, and often he'll curl up and roll.
Picture/Description: Here's a pic of another of his species. Inlar, however, has more black, and instead of white he's got blue. (just ignore the text and bits of images. I couldn't get the original picture so I had to settle)
Personality: One of the more nasty of his species, he'll stop at nothing to gain what he wants. In this case, gloating rights. Losing is not an option. Cruel and ruthless, cold and calculating.
History/Information: Like all Korukah, he was made by the Brotherhood after a particularly nasty outbreak of storms. The Brotherhood placed the various Korukah all throughout the domes, so that they could stop strong storms in their tracks, thus sparing the citizens.
However, after less than a year, things went got nasty again, and the storms were worse than ever. The Brotherhood found that the Korukah were responsible, and had hatched a mass plan: domination. They were stopped and all locked away. (even the ones that were innocent)
But not long after, a few escaped by unknown craft. The Brotherhood, having more important things to attend to, let them be. One of the escapees happened to stray to close to this land and was caught.

History/Information: Aways ready to fight, unless someone intends to harm him he will harm them, even though he starts fights on his own sometimes. His Dark-side every now and then reminds him that he cannot always let the enemy attack first, Matthew wondered why this evil spirit is inside him, so Zanmaru tells him that they are one being split in two. He was on a mission when he was caught.

[Biocore]

I'd like the character to be two max per person. Also Toanoopie, could you just copy that and put it with your other post using the "edit" button? It would keep the topic cleaner if every member's characters were in one post.

[Ria]

When are we going to start?

[Toanoopie]

Yes, when are we going to start?

Either when: 1) We get more people. Or 2) when they finish getting it set up and stuff.

~Bunda

[Biocore]

I'd like at least one more person to join before starting.

[LORD INTERNET DOT COM]

Assume I've signed up please, I'll post a sheet later

[Crono]

*Wait's for this RPG to start*

Exactly when does it start?

Aegis, it would help if you post your sheet at some point in time.

*gets bored enough and starts eating popcorn*
