Welcome, Twilight Participants! This thread will be your Out-Of-Context forum for the competitors of the Twilight Arena to discuss tactics, collaborations, and 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. It should also be used for necessary communications with the Director in requesting extensions. As a reminder, you are required to post every 4 days. While I will do my best to provide 24 hour warnings, please do not rely on these. I must be informed in advance if an extension is needed.

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 at the North (top) 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 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 the AEF RP Discord Server if you have any details you would like clarified. Our Discord Server can be found here.

This was the music inspiration for Twilight: Veil.


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?
Most 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 some sort of barrier - a wall or a lethal hazard in most cases. Entrance ways vary by arena in terms of design, but consist of eight equidistant points starting from cardinal North. The ceiling in Twilight is 20 feet (6.1 meters) high.

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, their entrances will remain closed, and their spotlight will vanish.

Do the gates out of the arena remain open?
Yes. If you choose to exit, it will be considered forfeiting the fight.

Can you explain the lighting?
A single orb of light hangs 10 feet (3.0 meters) over each entrance, for a total of eight, bathing the outer edge of the arena in absolute brightness, and one orb hangs over the dead center of the arena. All orbs are illuminated at the start of the match. When broken, the area surrounding that orb is in complete shadow. The orbs of light can be broken with significant physical force from either a melee, magic, or ranged attack. The central orb CANNOT be broken. The outer orbs are on the scale of beach balls, while the central orb is slightly larger. They are fixed in place via magic and cannot be moved - and breaking them does not cause any hazards or debris.

We’re getting judged now right? What are you looking for?
Each Director has their own writing elements that they look for and their own methods for selecting the Paragons (and, later, the Champion). I do not use an official point scoring system of any kind, but I do look at seven key criteria. In no particular order, they are:
Combat Activity (Use of Abilities, Reasonable Physical Actions, Pacing of Actions)
Character Interactions (Accounting for Opponent Actions, Dialog, Environmental Awareness/Acknowledgement)
Consistency (Writing Style, Mana/Stamina Usage, Cross-Post Awareness for Injuries/Actions/etc.)
Storytelling (Complimenting the Action, Relevancy to Combat, General Worldbuilding)
Character Personality (Growth/Development, Passion/Emotion. Show me why they want to win).
Technical Writing Ability
General Creativity & Uniqueness

Hello fellow competitors! This is Twilight's map for the year! As always, a reminder that these maps are unofficial tools. Judgments will be solely based on what is written and not what is shown on the map. Good luck, and happy collaborating!

Riprose123 has withdrawn from the competition. As this happened prior to his first post, Evergreen is presumed not to have entered the arena - and the light that would have been his entrance has now gone out.

I am posting to confirm that Chaos, myself, and DK have been thick as thieves with plotting and conniving this collaboration of content, between our three posts of this 'round' of posting. DK's is likely to be closer to tomorrow evening in terms of being posted, but nonetheless!

Primary contents of the post reflect collaboration with DK and Chaos. I also checked with Death regarding putting that last light out with that arcing throw - was not about to underestimate the chance that big ol' Bjhonkcioucles might intercept regardless of arc, but he gave the go ahead.

Updated the map to reflect current position, keep in mind that facing does not equal direction of momentum. To help solve that, I included a purple line to indicate pathing of the movement. Which GDocs did NOT MAKE very easy OR friendly to do...so keep in mind the path line is "rough at best" please.

Star, I would like to request a 24 hour extension. Given work-related circumstances and evening plans that I am NOT going to cancel on pains of becoming a black sheep with my family for the rest of my life...I'm doing this more as a safety measure. Might not need, but I'd rather burn and not use than to idle out because of overconfidence. Thank you!

Thank you again for honoring the extension request. Post has been made, typical collab work with Chaos and DK in the working thereof to boot.
