+++++
STEP 2 - Change Bonus Traits
+++++

-Go to 'Edit Character' and scroll down to where the 'Bonus Traits' are written.

-Remove all text in this box.

-Copy and paste what's below into the same box.
=====
Weapon Tier: 0 - [Basic Weapon Name]
Armor Tier: 0 - [Basic Armor Name]
=====

-Fill out your basic Weapon/Armor Names.
-If you are a MELEE character, add this underneath Armor Tier.
=====
Melee: 2 - Gain 2 dice when defending.
=====

*****
STEP 3 - Choose an ability
*****
-Abilities are like special moves your character can perform.
-They cost 1 power point to do.
-They usually relate to a special talent.

An example -

'BladeMaster - Spend 1 power point to gain an extra attack this turn. Applies to only one target.'

Something more complex might be -

'Multiple Personality Disorder - Costs 1 power point. Make a Wisdom Roll. On 1 star or more your personality multiplies allowing you to reroll any Stars made on an attack, over and over until you get none. Add all the stars together and apply this damage to your target.'

Be creative and allow your ability to make your character unique.

*****
STEP 4 - Character checking
*****
Once all the above are done you may contact me to have your character checked.

I will be looking for/at -

-Correct Weight Limit
- Your chosen ability to see if it keeps within the balance of the game. (If not i may suggest changes, or ask for something different. I am usually pretty reasonable)
-Everything is filled in.

If all goes well, You will be approved, and we welcome you warmly to The Obsidian Arena.

In Titanium Arena:
- The settings for Titanium Arena is Science Fiction, however characters of any genre are perfectly acceptable.

- You can use Psionic or something instead of Magic if you want to go science fantasy route on mind over matter Wisdom based NERD! Make sure that you note down which Main Trait you are using for your Basic Attack and most your activated Abilities.

Genera Advice
- Abilities can be passive, cost 1 power, cost 2 power, cost more than 2, have a continuous upkeep cost, cost you life points etc.
- Abilities can be anything, don't just limit yourself to damage dealing abilities (neither of my two characters have abilities that directly add to damage yet, and they're doing quite well).
