This thread will be your OOC forum for the competitors of the Field of Time 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 Judge 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.
The Trials consist of loosely Team-based combat intended to allow your characters, the Pawns, to prove themselves worthy of fighting in the Final Battle. While all characters know the alignments of their friends and foes, I would like to make it clear that the Powers are watching, and wish to see the full capabilities and personalities of the Pawns. What this means is that friendly fire or even open-combat with an ally will not be penalized. Do as you believe your characters would, even if that means backstabbing your own side or consorting with members of the opposite side. Temporary alliances can be formed, and broken, at the whims of the participants - and it is from the individual performances that Knights will be chosen.
Combatants in this battlefield appear in a rough circle, each 15-feet from the center of the battlefield, facing inwards. The order in which you are listed in the roster below is the relative order that your characters stand in in this circle, with the first person listed standing at the North and moving clockwise around the circle. Alternatively, the person listed above you on the roster will be the fighter to your right, and the person listed below you will be on your left. All contestants are assumed to appear at roughly the same time, regardless of posting order.
This was the music inspiration for the Field of Time.

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.
In addition, I will be editing in any questions that may be useful for all combatants to read. Beginning with:
What were those symbols that appeared above each Pawn?
Those were the symbols of Order and Chaos respectively, as seen at the top of the Signup thread. The symbol that appeared above each character represents their alignment as listed above, and they appear long enough for each character to see both their own and those of the other combatants.
What are the dimensions of the battlefield?
Time is a circular battlefield. From the geometric center is approximately 65 feet (19.8 meters) of space before reaching the copper walls that curve 20 feet (6 meters) upwards into a ceilingless dome, revealing a thunderstorm overhead.The floor here is copper, though it does not conduct electricity and is unnaturally durable. At the center of the battlefield is a person sized structure formed from three pendulums, each ticking back and forth at a different rate.
What do those pendulums do?
Upon being struck with significant, intentional force (not simply a glancing blow), all three pendulums will stop in place, freezing time for non-living objects. The storm overhead will pause, and all projectiles and other objects not being worn or carried will freeze in place. After several seconds, the pendulums will resume their motion, starting time again. Any objects frozen will maintain their current momentum. The pendulums will remain in motion and will be unable to freeze for another few seconds, even if struck again. The pendulums do not suffer any damage from any attacks made on them.
What about that storm above?
Other than the initial demonstration, the thunderstorm will not interfere with the battlefield.
A few more details about the Chequered City
If you attempt to destroy any of the buildings/inhabitants of the City, they will reform briefly after the destruction. It is possible to encounter other combatants in the city - so while you may tweak the process of time for your character, ensure that your actions will impact you and you alone. The automatons can take on different forms depending on your character's interpretation: they can look like people you know, although something will feel slightly... off if they do, or look entirely mechanical, or anywhere in the range between.
What if I want to fight someone in the city before reaching my Battlefield?
Direct combat with intent to cripple or kill in a way that would impact the combatants combat ability will result in interference by the automatons or the city itself to prevent it. You're welcome to go for it, though I would request that it gets run by me first in more detail. Since the city is much more flexible to work with than Bren, the interference to prevent further conflict can be basically anything.
