Quake Arena/ Help, Advice and Recruitment?

[SnowStorm42]

Centuries before the first human even walked the earth The Vadrigar, a mysterious group of powerful beings, created a place called the Eternal Arena. The Arena was created by the beings just for their entertainment. After its creation the Vadrigar took beings from different times and dimensions and had them compete in the arenas. They bestowed powers onto the warriors of the arena, making them immortal unless competing in a Gladiator fight.


They created three sets of fights in the arena: Free for alls, Team deathmatches and Gladiator fights. In Free for Alls the warriors of the arena are unable to die and fight until they achieve the most "frags" in a given time or until they reach a set amount of frags. Team Deathmatches follow the same premise except there are teams arranged to fight against each other. Finally there are Gladiator fights. Gladiator fights were created as an escape from the arena...death. In a Gladiator Fight the "respawn" is removed and two warriors fight to the death using only their own abilities and skills with the occasional weapon dropped into the arena. The warrior that dies, remains dead and the victor is allowed to live.


In order to maintain order the Champions of the arena guide the many arena events and battles. Warriors are placed in Tiers and through battles or challenges (such as defeating an entire tier), warriors move up and gain privileges. Tournaments are also hosted to see if anyone can climb each Tier and defeat the Champions at the top, however no one has for centuries. To finish, all warriors stay alive so long as they dont die in a Gladiator fight..however if a warrior can not complete a tier 1 battle for an extended amount of time, they are removed from the arena although it is unknown what happens to them.

Welcome to the Arena.

Don't die.

Initially I started this idea because I got re-addicted to my childhood games Quake 3 Arena being among them. I thought it would be cool if I created a plot to it and added some flavor and detail. I was going to do this rp as a 1x1 with a good friend of mine but he seems skeptical to do it and unwilling to help. So I came here with the intention of making the roleplay public for everyone to join. Before that though I thought I would get people hooked, get advice, and maybe enlist in some help in making the rp because its a lot of work with all the maps, descriptions, characters, and weapons. Any help, advice, or reservations to join are very welcome. Feel free to message me or post below.


I have the original link here to show all the characters i added (although you can make your own), as well as what the structure is going to be and a few areas that I already listed and made. Thank you and I hope to get feedback soon

HELLO!


I have no experience with maps and characters, but structure and getting stuff to work is my forte! I would suggest dice, but you don't seem like that type that'd want to do that. It will be difficult doing the fights, if you don't have a group of people okay with losing and their character dying.


As for the rewards, they have to be something that actually affects a role-play. Like a second life? Or armor...moving faster? Now, will there be a story too, or it's just fighting and moving up?

HI!


I never really worked with dice before but I can give it a shot. And as for characters dying they wouldn't die in free for alls or deathmatches but simply respawn. The only way to die is if they challenge a Arena Master to a Gladiator fight however I could work with that and dice.


As for rewards it wasn't a concept I thought of but I feel like that could be a good push. Winning a free for all or team death awards the victor or victors upgrades for future battles perhaps?


And finally I intend to add mystery as well as some drama and perhaps romance alongside the fighting. The game has no story to it but with such diverse characters I thought it could. I figured a group of characters could question who put them there, what the background and purpose of each arena is (cause most of them have a purpose) and a way out of the arena alive. I also intend to set up an area, like a town, where the warriors can roam around and talk or just sleep off one day to the next.

Super. Well then the best way to start, would be to create this town and the arena. Then set up a rewards section. Once you have a skeleton of each, the details can start to be filled in.


As for dice, I have next to zero experience. If you want to go that route, I can give you a few names of users who are more familiar with those crazy systems. Though, if you want to do dice, I'm sure they'll find you O.o
