SETTING THIS UP NOW BECAUSE I LAZY BUT WANT THIS TO START SO CONFLICTING VALUES SUCK THE END.
One moment, you were... there, just minding your own business, doing whatever you were doing, but then, you weren't. You blinked, felt some sort of tingling in your blood, and then you were in the middle of a bloodstained area, featuring no one in the wellkept stands. However, before you were a number of gargantuan figures who didn't seem to quite show any... color. Literally. Some looked like they had horns, tails, or other crazy bits to their body. Even though you might share some of those same bits, they just felt... wrong. One on the far right gave a devilish grin, handed you a flyer, and then once again, you were somewhere different; somewhere with other people your (relative) size, with color, and with the same flyer as you. You glance down at it and read. Come to think of it, the words are... really strange, but you somehow still understand them.
"Greetings, players!
You're now participating in the fight of the ages - the Arena of the Old Gods. Yes, yes, it's a typical name, but we are old, and we're Gods, what else do you expect? Now, each of you are to pick your players and pick them carefully; everything you do is going to be measured against you and lead up to 'the end' of the fighting; well, not really the end for you, but you do get one item of infinite power and wealth. One wish, redeemable to wish on anything.
As for your player, there are some rules. To begin with, you are expected to do whatever you want! Creativity is looked upon favorably by us Gods. HOWEVER, do not make a kill switch, a weapon of our caliber, an "I win" button, etc. You will face harsh punishment, the least painful of which being death.
Remember, we ARE the Gods. We see all and we know all. Don't hide something like this! Especially not against us.
Your first fight is within hours. It will be against someone... less fortunate than you, someone with less control.
Lastly, your room is a cage located in the back of the area you are now in. It even has your name on it.
Love, the Gods (namely Kain)"
What you do for fun or for survival is now in your hands.
AHEM, now that that is done, I can talk about plans and stuff! Again, it's a big arena obviously, and to begin with, you won't fight other players. It's some NPC I come up with I guess, and maybe only some people will have the first fight (because it's more interesting to get everyone involved instead of 1-1 battles). OTHER THAN THAT, magic is about as common as how large the diversity of the characters is - AKA a whole dang lot. Make things up, whatever you want to begin with! You can be from any time with any power so long as you keep IT IN CHECK PLEASE THANK YOU.
Following the beginning fight, everyone will begin fighting each other. PvP, whatever you wanna call it. How this ends for each person will be up to them; you can coordinate as little or as much as you like, I don't care! If it does happen, however, please mention this! It doesn't need to be readily obvious to other people, but to the Gods it must be! BECAUSE THEY MUST SEE IT.
Once all the fighting between each other has finished, the winners will team up and begin fighting some crazy, lower-ranking deities. You might have collected powers along the way for winning, and you can use these to your advantage and whatnot.
The losers who participate can choose to either leave in spectacular fashion, perish, or fight for their lives with the winning team as well, but they come in with penalties enacted upon them. They might end up as more of a liability than teammate. So, there you go! Fun!
And if anyone asks, the Gods love entertainment and watching mortal lives pass before their eyes! It's practically like a sped-up version of life to them - people fight for meaningless causes and then die for said causes. They even openly talk about how cruel it is, but they don't care! They're the Gods!
EDIT:
Also, Kenku has applied his services to the arena! Each player can find one strange, green paper slip with a picture of his face on it, redeemable for one customizable potion - limited as he pleases.
You have 3 days! Monday, this will begin and anyone who has not submitted is not in!
