Hearing the shuffling of feet and rattling of waist side key rings outside of his cell, had it already been one full rotation, getting to his feet, Karai turned his head to the side to shield his eyes as radiant sun illuminated his cell revealing the many faces crammed inside."Aye you..." a sloppy obese key holder yelled in from the slid open peep hole. "Lord Mongul summons you to the arena." Waiting a few moments the guard hears no movement within. "Well, come on, I will not suffer my Lords wrath for your sluggish response." the keeper reasserted getting impatient, thinking of his Masters impatience. Unhinging what appeared to be a baton from his waist, the keeper decided he wanted to flex his authority in front of the populace. Pressing a hidden button on his batom the end pointing away from the man flared up, flinging to the side it morphed into a full fledged high frequency electrical whip, "Upgrade to the standard issue, since your last break attempt" Streaking the whip into the cell the man meant to strike fear using Karai as the example. It was a head on frontal attack, opting to dodge with a simple side step, his feet got caught up in the shackles lack of slack, getting nowhere Karai raised a forearm in defense, takinf the direct hit, the blow must have severed a few tendon as his right arm dropped lifeless by his side as the gauntlet weights covering his hands took over...the other prisoners inside verbally protesting, "Come on, didn't he fight yesterday, it's got to be someone else's turn!!" The keeper growing more intolerant lashed his whip again at the ground causing sparks to fly scaring and silencing the room all in the single motion, "I do not make the rules, only one makes the rules here on War World and that's the strongest fighter and fearless leader Lord Mongul...I simply enforce every breath he takes" "And as long as he has he eyes on this, this HALF-BREED, the boy will continue to fight and in time he will become our greatest weapon." Grabbing Karai by the collar of his tattered standard in prison garb: a now dingy pastel tank top, that used to be whene and a frayed tattered tan jumpsuit with his prisoner ID # sewn right into it, 707..Attempting to pull Karai out the cell by force, the keeper met an impasse when Karai shackles again halted his movement, "Alright the lot of ya come on..." Two more figures standing up and stepping in line behind Karai they filed out into what they found to be a one way large corridor which housed all the cell, there's was just futherest back. Moving down the hall in the only way available, the trio and guard soon cane to a large collessum door, the disproportionately obese man leaning up against doors the slowly creaked open allowing the corridor to be filling with yammering incoherent voice of the audiences boo's and cheer's...Karai shoved through the threshold, the two shackled to him had no choice but to follow suit before the doors were abruptly shut behind them...heaweight,the synchronized trumpeting on a new challenger piece the sound barrier that was the audience, Karai heard a slight beeping coming from his containment gauntlets, a device turning inside his gauntlets Karai felt pressure release from around his hands and forearms before the contraptions freed themselves from his arms dropping between his feet leaving a small crater in the ground revealing there deceptive weight, the two accompanying shackles also released as if by the flick of switch. Looking at the wound on his arm Karai stuck his finger in his wound purposely cause pain to ready himself for battle, squatting down just enough to touch his former gauntlets, Karai began absorbing their properties creating a full body armour for himself to aid him in this upcoming battle, this was his second to last round before he could taste freedom, win this match and the next and he would be a free man...

*Looking for 2 RP'ers, male or female, all walks of life welcome, power set need to be reasonable, long-term preferred, team players!

Um, is this still open? I'd be interested because it kind of sounds fun! I have some questions tho :T

I'm all ears shoot. .

I'd love to join as well if that's ok

I hope it is

Still haven't started yet, still need 2...if you have any questions ask away...

Hey is this still open? Also not to be "that" guy, if someone is swinging a weapon downwards on you, catch his wrist, then kick him right under or on his sternum with your heel first (following proper kick form) to stop his momentum then knocking him off balance gives you room and time to perform another attack. I know in Karai's case he was bound and on the ground, but if ever such a situation arises and you are free to move, there you go.

thats weird you wrote that, i wrote something very similar before I remembered of Karai's shackles...an no noone has joined...the 2 above wrote once and thats all i have heard from them

Alright well id like to roleplay with you on this and I was just thinking of how I might deal with such a situation

( I'm here....just waiting)

This Rp will have to the best of my ability equal parts of tecnnology and magic, will be heavily conflicted oriented, we will do it turned based,we are by no means invincible but we are badass as to contest with the immense odds stacked against us, I belive this rp will be really "personality" driven each characters brings something too the table, we need a tight knit squad...ir you two Alexander and sky we can get started here soon

do either one of you understand the di system

I might need help

Is it a d&d based rolling system?

I honestly don't understand the system myself, that's why I was asking

We are off to a fantastic start

So are we using a die roll style game? Those are easy. Roll d20 to see if you hit based on your skills ie if you had to dodge, that would be dexterity. Say you have a dex of 7, you have to get 7 or higher. If its a melee attack it would be strength. Say its 9, you have to get 9 plus and if you did you rolled for damage using a d6. Higher number is more damage. Oh and d6= six sided die. The number before the D (lel) says how many sides a die has.

Yeah thats shits confusing, we just going to have to be real conservative in our fights

I could be a sort of dungeon master since yall dont know too much about die rolls

Explain how that would work
