A dream, a cage. Dark visage, humanly looking in form, yet blurry for thee sight. Pain. Voices reach for you. Muffled memories. Ghosts.
You have awakened in what appeared to be a cell. Without an exterior light it is hard to tell the inwards of your small prison. A voice, ever so visible, is echoing in your head. You know that you are trapped, but you have no idea how long has this awareness been sinking into your mind.
Why you are here, and for what?...
As you try to find answer, sharp pain, edging into your skull like a cold knife. Again, faces, memories, visions… You are lost again within your world of blurry thoughts and dreams. Knowing… Somehow… That when the time comes, you will be summoned by the same voice that whispered to you for so long.
But for now you're remained asleep. Dreaming… Once more

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the 5th annual Rumble on RPA.
As you've probably noticed, we went with a different set up for this year, as we wanted to do something special for the 5th year Arena (and this is the reason we also delayed a bit to make it all fancy and amazing).
So, as stated above, this year, unlike previous arenas, you will not create your own Character sheets, but rather pick from half made ones.
Half made?! What?!
Yes! Half made!
As already stated from the teaser above, you will be forced into the shoes of your character in the exact state of mind that she or he is, which is not fully aware of himself/herself, his/her memories and his/her abilities (Or lack of, for that matter).
As you advance and win the battles your memories and abilities will be restored little by little and only the winner of this rumble will unlock the secrets of who he or she is.
This is your prize of this year's Tournament (along with the lovely badges of course), discovering yourself, bearing in mind that the loser may lose something much more precious than his or her life.
***
To enter, simply pick a Character from this list, and post it here (First comes first serves). We have 16 slots open for all contestants, so be quick to pick.
Entrants will be accepted until 17 of April 2015, after which, we'll get the festivities underway.
This will be a single elimination event, meaning, once you're out, you're out. Please notice that this year The fighters will be paired up against one another randomly. The winners in the first round will then go against each other in the next round, and so on until we have a winner.
Once the pairings are determined, the judges will set up a thread in The Colosseum, along with a description of the terrain you will be fighting in. (Please note that there may be other things that can hurt you that aren't your opponent).
So for the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching all over the world.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET READY TO RUUUUMBLE!

Yup, right on the 12 of April the selected cards will be edited with more info and some abilities. The more you advance in the battles, the more abilities and some Bio will be unlocked too.

On indefinite hiatus. I remain purple only for technical support, please direct queries to Scottie or another staffer. Thank you RPA for being my second home for so many years, and every member who makes this the wonderful place it is.
