The Roles We Play

[Kael]

This section of the arena is the first place you should come if you are looking to be entered into an arena battle or event. This is where you can come and issue a challenge to a specific person, enlist to join in an upcoming arena event, or have one of our Arena Masters, commonly referred to as 'Glaives', match you up with a randomly selected apponent.

1. One-on-One Arena battle
Your first option as a gladiator in the arena is to challenge another person in our world to one-on-one arena combat. The one issuing the challenge has the right to decide the variables of the fight, but they may waive this right and allow their opponent to decide the particulars if they so choose. The variables are as follows.

~Arena Floor
The Arena of Arancar Ashearn has a very unique and mysterious floor. Whenever it is not in use, it is simply a large circle of sand. But at the hands of the Glaives, it can be called upon to take the shape of nearly any type of landscape to suit any sort of battle. From raging seas, to open grasslands, to deep forests, to lush jungles, the arena floor can emulate any sort of circumstance at the whim of the combatants.

~Battle Conditions
The Glaives have a vast amount of resources at their disposal, and, as such, can accommodate nearly any need. They can add creatures to the scene, bring in siege equipment, send in soldiers in an emulated war march, and nearly anything you may be able to imagine.

~Time of Day and Setting
The arena can emulate any time in history or the future as well as the time of day and the weather. These things can be changed to suit the type of battle that is being sought after by the combatants.

~Victory and Defeat Conditions
Each battle has to end somehow. The challenger may decide if it will be a fight to the death, a fight for submission, a fight to capture a person or place, a fight to protect a person or place, or a fight to hunt a particular thing first. All of these require a lot of honesty and creativity to pull off.

2. Group Arena Battle
This type of battle has all of the same attributes as a One-on-One battle. The only difference is that a group of people can get together and fight against another group of people. In this type of event, anyone can switch sides at any time, unless they are out of the battle, so watch your back and make sure your comrades are loyal. As with the One-on-One battle, the challengers have the first right to decide the conditions of the battle.

3. Challenge of the Glaives
A Challenge of the Glaives is a special arena event that will be staged periodically. The conditions of the battle and what is needed for it to begin along with the time it will begin and end will be posted in the stands of the Arena for all to see. The events can be anything from a castle siege, to a battle in deep space, to a raid on a hidden village, and much much more. Wars on the open sea have even been rumored to have taken place in the past. Anyone interested in joining an event will be required to sign up on the post in the stands BEFORE the event begins. All are welcome to participate.

More event types will be added as the arena grows, so check back often!
