And I think the character lends itself more towards backroom play. He won't be too much of a problem face to face and we can still kick his teeth in.
The hits keep rollin'!I'm very sorry, but there are certain things that completely break my willingness to participate in an RP. The establishment that all my characters and anything they do within the RP iself aren't real is one of them.
I'm sorry, but I no longer see a point in posting in or being in this RP, and I will be dropping out. Sorry.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."Hmm... seems interesting!
Question: Are there any particular restrictions that I should be aware of before making my sign up? (Other than only OCs are accepted)
- Name: Anders Haarkens
- Age: 25
- Race: Half-orc Half-elf. Effectively human as a result. Hails from a bog-standard fantasy world.
- Gender: Male
- Appearance: Anders looks like a brick shithouse. Standing six and a half feet tall and half as wide, he's basically a massive wall of meat and anger in human form. He has a short crop of curly black hair and an equally curly beard.
- Clothes, Costumes and Armor: He never takes the armor off.
◊
- Personality: Anders is an honorable warrior. He has come to the Arena to earn his honor and self-respect, and does not fight for causes; he already has one. The only thing he actually gets angry about is an affront to his honor or any other sort of implication that he is nothing less than a valiant knight.
- Profession: Street Entertainer (by nature of showing off his sword)
- Bio: Born to an Orc and Elf, Anders was an outcast of both worlds and left to fend for himself in a den of Kobolds, left with only a name. Among the Kobolds and their tunnels, however, Anders was accepted. The kobolds took him in as one of their own, raising him with the fighters of the tribe. They saw him as a hero and a protector, cutting down the adventurers that made it past their traps. He did this for many years, until one day he found a to-do list and a map on an adventurer. The top item on the list was to steal the sacred gem of his tribe, then take it to the spot marked on their map to claim "The Blade of Separation." Showing this to the tribe's elder, he was of course given the gem and told to go! He was a knight, a hero, and part of that was going on adventures! Besides, he'd only be gone for two days, right? Right! Anders set out in search of this fabled blade, and after a day of travel found the ruins he was looking for. They weren't even heavily guarded or anything; he just put the gem in a slot and a sword came out of a hole, glowing gently with divine light, as magic swords are wont to do. However, it was on the return trip that shit got too real. He arrived home to absolutely no cheers or anything. Everyone in the den, every single Kobold, was dead, their treasure sacked, every trap destroyed. In a blind rage Anders tore through the forest, killing animal after animal, only to discover that he couldn't. His sword merely cleaved the animals in half, but left them alive, free to move in to separate pieces. He decided that, with nowhere left to go, no family or friends, that he would put on a brave face and go where every "murderhobo" went when they lacked purpose: The Arbiter's Arena.
- Categories and Affiliations: Kobolds, Orcs, and Elves.
- Abilities: Anders is skilled with a blade, and has indomitable endurance. His life among Kobolds has not only made him fluent in Kobold, Goblin, and more or less the language of every other standard Mook Race, but has also given him proficiency with handmade traps and an inherent trapsense.
- Possessions: Aside from his fairly average platemail and horned helmet, Anders wields the Sword of Separation. This sword cleaves through any substance, though it takes more or less time to do that based on what it's made out of, and anything magically enchanted to be durable is blocked as normal. What's special about it, though, is that when it cleaves through flesh—like a hot knife through butter—the limb is not actually removed like a normal blade. Instead, the limb simply falls off, with a black void at the stump, and the owner is still free to control it as if it were still attached. The limb will reattach if held to the stump for about five seconds. Limb severance is also not painful at all.
- Other: Lapses into Kobold when angered.
I can finally post yay :D
•Name The Puppet Master
•Age Ageless but had been around for about 1000 years give or take afew. Looks to be 23
•Race Use to be a Human but now it is unknown what he has become. Some call him a still a mere human while others call him a god. Others say he is also a timetraveler..
•Gender Male
•Appearance (How does one post a link ._.)
•Personality: A fun loving person who lives without a care in the world, would seem to be one way to describe him. For some reason he always find himself to be very lucky and plays it to the fullest.
•Profession: A chef in his very own restaurant called The Mad Hatter.
•Bio: His history is lack luster to say the least. He grew up in a happy home, free of any real life turning event. This all changed on his 16 birthday. It was during a class trip to some random trip to a Greek museum. It was there where he stumbled upon an odd looking tapestry. The moment he looked into it something caught his eye. A puppet laying in the corner of the tapestry wearing fine clothing. Something about it called to him. And then it came alive much to his amusment. The puppet leaped out of the tapestry and onto him and fused into his body, by then he was in shock and had fainted. He woke up in a hospital much later. The rest is a blur to him but he has just arrived in the city after being called there.
•Categories and Affiliations: He has no Affiliation at all. I guess you could say he is a magic user.. depends on how you view his power. Orginally he was British.
•Abilities: He has the power to create non-living object puppets much like a ventriloquist would use and control them. Much like a small army.
•And finally he can create illusions.. but are they real or fake? Of course he does posses many skills as well.
Of course one hell of a cook. He is a intelligent man.
•Possessions: His Umbrella. But is it just that? Ah yes and of course his suit and hat. The suit seem to posses alot of pockets, which in turn seem to have alot of space inside them.. acting very much like a TARDIS.
•Other: Favorite flavor of ice cream, chocolate of course.

Anders is approved.
The Puppet Master... should have a reviewed bio. Don't make him live that much and maybe put him in a more fitting time period from which he was snatched.
Also, no mind control and should take away the martial arts. Since you can create puppets to fight for you, concentrate on that and see where you can take it.

I have to object to the character's abilities. For one thing, he basically establishes that within the realm of its own universe the setting isn't real. This includes all characters and everything in it. For another, he's basically entirely built around metagaming by reading RP posts, discussion posts, and bios.
