This arena serves as a chance for people to practice using their characters in fights or to see how they compare to other characters. Come and go as you please, this roleplay is "free to join, free to leave".
History of the Arena
It all began in the desert civilization known as Lanturn Dust City. Being a place that had to rely on trading with other countries in order to survive, the city always struggled to keep itself and its citizens alive. The city began to pool ideas from its own people to help keep trade going. One of the more popular ideas was a form of entertainment to really grab attention. Of those ideas came the one to create the most grueling, torturous fighting arena imaginable. After careful consideration, the city went through with the idea and the tournament was constructed within five years.
Upon opening the arena, the city's popularity immediately exploded. Everyone rushed into the city to prove that they were the best of the best of the best (of the best of the best of the best of the best x 10). It was such a success that the city had managed to trade enough to sustain itself for several years ahead. The arena still runs today and is considered the ultimate test of endurance, strength, and strategy. Enter it if you have the resolution, but be aware that only the strongest shall prevail. Prepare to get blood on your hands in the Land of Glowing Sand.
Notes About the Arena
The arena is in the shape of a large square that runs about half the size of a football field. The arena floor is covered in sand that goes up to five feet high, and on the bottom is steel flooring. The walls are also made of the same steel material, reinforced to withstand explosions.
