This thread will be your OOC forum for the competitors of the Fountain Arena to discuss tactics, collaborations, plots, as well as to ask questions of your fellow combatants and to provide any additional details necessary to clarify your character or your actions.
Each of the combatants in this arena will be placed at an equidistant starting point. The order in which you are listed in the roster is the relative location you enter the arena in, with the first competitor entering in at the North of the arena and moving clockwise around the edge of the arena. Alternatively, you can view this as the competitor listed above you will be on your right and the competitor listed below you in the roster will enter in on your left. All contestants are assumed to enter roughly at the same time, regardless of posting order.
Feel free to ask me questions within this thread, via PM, or via IRC if you have any details you would like clarified. As a reminder, our new IRC channel is #RPooc , and details of how to join it can be found in the initial OOC thread. You can also use the IRC channel to collaborate with the other forumites.
The Roster
Prota Wavis, created by Caststarter!
Arde En’Foe, created by Arthur! DQ'd.
Cyril Kovac, the Red Hand, created by Ryu Viranesh!
Arthok Mesorason, the Blackblooded, created by Apocalypse!
Sir Gervase Irven, created by Necro-Knight!
In addition, I will be editing in any questions that may be useful for all combatants to read. Beginning with:
What are the dimensions of the arena?
All Paragon Phase arenas share a similar construction when it comes to the dimensions. From the geometric center it is 65 feet (19.8 meters) of terrain until reaching either a barrier wall or, such as with Spike or Sky, the lethal hazards ringing the arena. Entrance ways vary by arena in terms of design, but consist of eight equidistant points starting from cardinal North. Were one to connect the entrances with lines, you would inscribe a perfect octagon within the circle of the arena.
For Fountain arena specifically, the ceiling is 20 feet above you (6.1 meters)
But we have fewer than 8 in the arena!
While arenas are designed with a maximum occupancy of eight contestants, we'd rather let people spread out and have more arena variety than to crowd everyone into a single arena. Any locations after the last person on the roster is placed would be considered Vacant.
Do the gates out of the arena remain open?
Yes, but they remain filled with mist. If you choose to pass through the mist barrier and leave the arena, you will be forfeiting the fight.
How much does the mist distort vision? What exactly are the mirages?
You would have the same vision you normally have up to about 10-15 feet (3-4.6 meters). Minor details start to fade at that point, and someone standing at the entirely opposite side of the arena would be a blur of color. The shift in colors of the arena is random, so there is a chance they could either cause someone to stand out or camouflage them briefly. The mirages themselves are mostly shimmers, slight shifts in the colors that make it seem like something is moving or hiding, but never a fully defined image.
What are the acoustics of the arena?
Sound will carry through the mists, and echo off of the walls, floor, and ceiling. This can create a disorienting environment if there is a lot of loud noise, and it can be hard to pinpoint where a sound is actually coming from. The bells have no set pattern between them, but there's generally 4-6 chimes per minute.
How bright is the illuminating light?
The light of the arena is a bit dimmer than if you were out in the desert sun, and it gives off a distinct eerie feeling.
