Time for the hot seat

[gamemakers]

So later this week we will be going into the arena's first round of Hell-rena.

Since it is no secret that this is a Silent Hill based arena, it is probably not going to be very shocking what happens if you are familiar with silent hill.

If you are not, here is a good clip to show what's about to go down.

Air raid sirens will go off. The fog will clear up real fast, and it's gonna get hot. We're talking 100+ Fahrenheit. With humidity.

The buildings will be easier to see, but will deteriorate as in the clip.

The creatures will become more active. Anxious, more aggressive, and faster moving in the heat.

There is constantly a loud, grinding, unpleasant metallic sound throughout everything. In the underground rooms of building and close to the town green it is so loud you need to shout over it, and you can feel it vibrating through you.

If you have been eating/drink the arena's produce, you will feel over heated, uncomfortable, and like you have had WAY too much coffee.

HOWEVER it's not all bad.

There is going to be one building every round that is safe. Cool, quiet, the creatures don't come near, and it is stocked with fresh food and water. It is easy to see because the outside does not dissolve. And powers are still nerfed inside.

EDIT: For this round, the safe space will be the Theater. More specific details about layout, etc. will be in the starting event post.

Because the other perks of this is that powers are available outside. Anyone too powerful, or with game breaking power will be muted down to reasonable levels, and feel free to direct questions about such here if you are unsure about something.

I think that is everything, at least that I can think of. Any other questions can be posted here!

Brainy's primary non-intelligence related power is forcefields and really hella powerful ones, ie can withstand an antimatter detonation. In canon, he can also enclose a fairly large space with it, IE maybe fit like ten to fifteen people under it. He has in the past, shielded large groups of his team and civilians during explosions with it.

I wanted to know if this would be too breaky since he could essentially act as another living safe point if he holed up in a room somewhere with people. The caveats that would already be in place would be that he'd only be able to shield, say, about 10 people, since his brain's a mess this arena, and he he'd have to sit there focusing only on that without moving the whole time. It'd take every bit of his focus and willpower.

And it'd be a miserable, terrifying time for everyone stuck in it since the monsters might be be there pounding on it and it'd be cramped and hot inside.

But since that still could potentially offer another small safe shelter for people caught out in it, I was wondering if that'd be okay.

Yes he can!

Are his shields more short term things? You mentioned explosions, would this more be like "Shit a monster is coming, get here" kinda thing?

In canon he can sustain the shield almost indefinitely around himself (basically as long as he's conscious) and he once put up a shield so a bomb didn't kill him and some civilians and then sustained the shield under heavy wreckage until they were rescued.

So if he wasn't brain-fucked right now from his facial inhibitors being messed with (the equiv of being off his meds), he could potentially sustain a long term one through the whole hell period with ease.

But since his mind is messed with I'm using that as a limitation where he could possibly do it through a hell period but he'd have to be sitting there focusing on just that, in pain/suffering massive migraines and maybe nosebleeds the whole time, and if people distract him too much (say by infighting inside the shield) he might lose control and drop it since he's barely keeping his mind together.

Ok sounds good!
