Participants create animations featuring their {{Original Character}}s, which will be voted upon by the public after completion. It can be said that this is {{Platform/Entervoid}} meets WebAnimation/XiaoXiao. |

8 | Founded in Rock Hard Anims, the system was carried over to [=FluidAnims=] after the website shut down. The popularity skyrocketed in a span of a few years from the site's bustling community and longevity. Due to financial concerns with maintaining the website, [=FluidAnims=] was shut down as their community was merged with the forums of [=StickPage=] where it continued to this day. |

12 | !! This OC battle system provides examples of: |
13 | |
14 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Because almost everyone is a plain stick figure, colors help distinguish one character from another when they don't have other unique identifiers. |
15 | * ArtifactTitle: Rock Hard Anims was shut down long ago but the name remained when it was transferred to [=FluidAnims=]. |
16 | * BadassCrew: RHG Clans, groups of up to six members each. Examples include Nemesis, The Ministry and Zetabrand. |
17 | * ExcusePlot: Many gladiators have simple backstories and numerous fights have begun under simple pretenses. |
18 | * IconicItem: A huge majority has one to help stand out from each other outside of color differences. |
19 | * NonstandardCharacterDesign: Some gladiators are not portrayed as stick figures, such as ''The French''. |
20 | * NoPlotNoProblem: Many fights, especially the early ones, simply have the gladiators fight immediately out of nowhere. |
21 | * OriginalCharacterTournament: Minus the actual TournamentArc. |
22 | * OneManArmy: Lots of them. |
23 | * SpinOff: There's an equally-popular counterpart that trades visual spectacle for storytelling depth through writing. |
24 | * StickFigureAnimation: One of the contributing factors to its success. Animating stick figures is easy to pick up and allows more time to focus on choreography and spectacle. |
25 | * StoryArc: Some animators try to create a storyline from their gladiators' battles and backstories. |
26 | * SwitchingPOV: Every animator creates their own battles with their characters, resulting in there being no clear main character or perspective. |
27 | * WorldOfBadass |
