User blog:Flashfire212/A Veteran Challenger Approaches

''The sky over the arena darkened. The ongoing fights slowed and ground to a halt as the giant craft positioned itself over the arena. From beneath, a single small transport craft flew down to the center stage. It landed with a soft thud, and the landing hatch fell forwards. But nothing emerged. As the audience focused on it, there was motion, and finally he emerged.

Clad in black and red armor, a rather large grin across his face, and armed to the teeth. And yet he remained silent The shuttle took off, and the giant ship moved on, leaving the single man standing there. Then he spoke.

"I am one who has stayed with you since the beginning days. One who has seen you progress and climb into warriors of your own repute. But now, I have been drawn out, and you will find... I'm combat ready." With that, the dark haired veteran vanished in a flash of fire, awaiting his challengers.''

Notice
As that introduction made it clear, I'm here. I'm ready, and I'm not going to hold back. The final bureaucrat to join, and one that has probably been desired to see in action since his rather conspicuous lack of roleplays. I have finally decided, despite having just landed a job and needing to continue a successful fanfic, that now is the time I emerge as a possible opponent for you all. And, to make it worth the wait... I bring prizes. Impress me with your skill, and any one of nine prize types could be yours. Anger me, and you will find that I can shift from a flexible, evolving opponent who gives you chances to one of the hardest foes you will likely face incredibly quickly. Not to mention that the character you choose to fight might alter the difficulty of your challenge... but I digress.

I'm going to follow the standard rules for the vast majority of my characters, but the armored and vehicle-using characters I register will bring with them a new "game-type" of sorts. You can face me as-normal, with the character shunning their armor or vehicle. Or you could accept a basic powered armor suit or vehicle of the same weight class, and I'll handicap my character until yours learns how well they work with the new strengths and weaknesses that their equipment brings. These things are yours to keep, although I'll gladly accept trade-ins and upgrades via my armory. Although if you ask for too much or something I want proof that you're worthy of using, expect to fight for it. Aside for this additional challenge, there are no different rules.

Rewards
To those that earn a reward from me, it works on a random number generator. There are nine revealed prizes, and one hidden prize (that I would have to be unlucky to land on, since it is set to only the number 100 on the RNG). These are NOT balanced odds and change once a week, but what you need to know is that there are three tiers of rewards you may receive. If you win a "goods" reward, you can stockpile these and trade them in later for rarer or customized pieces for any character of yours.


 * 1. Basic Character

This is your standard Character Adoption page. Appearance and abilities are revealed, as are age, allegiance and weapons/vehicles. This is created for your choice of any name on the list.


 * 2. Low-level Equipment

Any item listed on my armory as being common or uncommon, or a standard, non-faction locked weapon from a manufacturer, not a variant or modified. Powered Armors don't come under this section. This is your choice, and doesn't have to be given to your challenging character.


 * 3. Basic Vehicles and Powered Technology

A vehicle or powered suit from my armory. You will be provided with a list to choose from, with some items fluctuating. This can be received by any character.


 * 4. Update.

Got a character you're uncertain about or just want to improve? Want a better backstory? If you win this level, I will personally examine a character article of your choice, and do my best to update it in my userspace with correspondance with you until we get the character into a form you are happy with, yet at a different standard. This will be a full page, not the basic treatment, and done to my specifications, although potentially without the technique use, if you prefer.


 * 5. Any Equipment

Your choice of almost any non-unique item from my armory, including variants. If you choose to get a "common" or "uncommon" ranked item, or you want me to instead enhance something you already have, it will be done in a +/- format, where I improve aspects or lower aspects. Most weapons and variations from manufacturers are available.


 * 6. Almost any vehicle

Once again,my armory has the vehicles you may choose to receive, with certain exceptions. These will be of any variant of the unit in question. However, the Warfront-type Medium Tank is off-limits, mostly due to it's overpowered nature, and sensitive technology. These are saved for myself, as I believe I can control the overpowered nature of these units.


 * 7. FULL CHARACTER

Your choice of name from the Character Adoption list. Then, it's a hybrid of rewards 1 and 4. I will familiarize myself with your personal continuity, and then create a character to fit, filling a role you specify. You have, as with reward 1, complete control of the character once I am completed with it, and are free to change any details you see fit, both after and during my creation process. I will endeavor to make this as possible as I can, such as multiple-layers of edits in place of my normal one-shot post.


 * 8. UNIQUE GEAR

Any item from my armory, modified to your desires. Want a custom colour, or special ammunition? Sure. As long as it isn't OP, I'll do it. And if you give me free reign, you never know, I might just give you a legendary weapon of the level of Excalibur. Let me know if you choose a weapon, or if you just want me to choose/create for you.


 * 9. UNIQUE VEHICLE

Anything from a prototype of a brand new vehicle to a stolen/black market/aftermarket modified unit. Again, you choose your vehicle from my armory, or specify a custom unit, and then I can either create it for you, or you can specify what you want. Simple as that.

The tenth reward will not be appearing very often, but will be fun for you.

In Summery
A TLDR for you: I'm available to be challenged. I have a spare game mode with an assured prize. I offer gifts to those that impress me. And I'm combat ready.

See you on the battlefield!
