Are you sure those characters aren't OP at all? I heard that Alucard is near god-tier, and Trixie with the alicorn amulet was even more powerful than Twilight Sparkle, the ELEMENT of MAGIC.
For OP characters, I think people here would usually add some nerfs to them, so they aren't OP against others, since that would kind of drain the fun from the RP.

GM Post: I'm saying no to Alucard here unless you got some serious nerfs, he's damn near invincible.

And then there was silenceI think it's high time I made a return, I think I shall begin again, building a new character to high tiers. Will be double posting with new char in a sec.
so long as the GM is good... Jenobu the monk steps into the arena, confused and dazed he turns to see who else is there.
I might give this a try as my MLP OC Luke Aura, cause why not? He's the one pictured in my icon, and is approved for play. This is also my first time doing anything in the arena.
Luke suddenly appears out of nowhere, looking very confused. "What the heck? Why am I here all of a sudden!?". He has a lit-up light-bulb inside a thought bubble as his cutie mark, representing his talent for creative thinking.

-From a nearby window, this white-haired girl◊ is aiming her shotgun right at Luke's head-
Lovepilled and HopemaxxingFrom the crowds, a silent and stealthy ant samurai sneaks his way toward the arena, with his mighty sword Grassblade in sheath.
HuzzahJust entered, and he already has a shot gun pointed at him. That escalated quickly.
Luke starts looking around, wondering what this place is. He ends up going behind some cover.
Luke feels a foreign object press up on his neck. A voice from behind his neck speaks out, "Help me out, and we both get out of here alive."
HuzzahLuke is shocked and confused by this new voice, and tries turning around. "What's going on? Who are you? And what are you?".

@Taco Badger: That be pretty close to an autohit right there. A DnD character wouldn't get that kind of setup without a Stealth vs Perception roll-off.
Don't get so caught up writing your character as badass as possible that you deny other players a fair share in deciding how things happen. I've had players be that way before, and it makes a guy that much less fun to deal with if they want 60% authorship.
Y'ain't straight-up broken any rules yet, but just lettin' you know, you're treading closer to it than you could be.
EDIT: Fury does have a weapon trained at him too, but Fury's been at it longer and I'd trust them not to be an ass about it if Luke miraculously dodged/survived it if it went off.

i care but i'm restless, i'm here but i'm really gone, i'm wrong and i'm sorry, babyTch.
-The girl vaults over and begins tailing Luke, trying to find a better position to place her shot-
Lovepilled and Hopemaxxing"Tell me son, did you volunteer to fight in this arena?" The Voice had still not answered Luke's question of identity, which definitely paints the voice in a rude light.
I completely see where your coming from. I think the fundamental difference between what I'm doing and straight up writing for someone else is that I'm giving his character the chance to break away from it, and a chance to respond to it, and if he resisted, I would say, "I press the sword in" but he could just as well say, "I dodge it." That's just how my mind worked it out. I'll try to do less stuff like this.
HuzzahIt would be nice if I didn't immediately have someone in a near 1-KO position against Luke, who is more of a lover than a fighter. He CAN defend himself when he realizes he is in danger.
"What arena!? I didn't sign up for anything! I just mysteriously appeared here out of nowhere! Don't hurt me! Whatever you are!"
-Between her footsteps, noisy gear, and glint from her holographic sight, the girl isn't exactly stealthy-
-Though she does apparently ran out of patience, as she fires a wadcutter slug at Luke outside of cover-
Lovepilled and Hopemaxxing"First things first, lose this girl that's tailing you. I'm hopping off, but just know you have an ally." The voice and pressure left.
Huzzahanyone on?

Luke is very confused by everything. It's all so sudden and out of nowhere. "I really don't want to die.....Thanks for the help." he says, before jumping from the sound of the gunshot. "What the heck!?" he shouts as he quickly looks around and quickly bolts behind cover from the shot.
you still on?
Johnny gets to work, flanking the white haired girl, he used his sword to unsettle the dirt of the ground, flinging it toward her eyes.
HuzzahJenobu steps out from a building rather confused as to what is going on. He notes an ant making an attack.
Johnny turned to the monk, towering over him. "Now, before you make a move, I feel it right to inform you I guarded a village of monks in Tibet from blizzard demons. But, if that matters not..." He raised his sword up and pointed it at Jenobu.
HuzzahJenobu knelt down, "Well aren't you an interesting fella. What's your name?"
"Johnny Gatherer. 360,758th gathering ant for the innumerable anthill colony of the base of Mt. Fuji. It was from a pool of a samurai's blood that I, and I alone emerged. I gained his spirit, and gained my sword Grassblade from the Tibetan blacksmith Yamashiro, who sharpened it with grassblades only strong enough to grow on a mountain. I have lived to do my part and protect the natural laws of honor and tranquility. And if you think you and you alone will be the death of me, you are sorely mistaken."
Huzzah
yes so who should I chose. Alucard, Trixie Lulamoon (alicorn amulet version) or one of the many other badassess I have?
yeah I know all my characters are op (except Eric Bane the weak goth protag of Dark) and that's why I am torn.

Cornelius, but do not waste in useless pity the few moments left in which to escape from the hands of the enemy.
