GUIDES?
There are some people who don't know how to make a perfect one and balanced type of a gladiator. Some are overpowered, Some are weak. Some are very unoriginal and obviously copied from another fictional character. Well, the uniqueness of your DG can be a good one to the community. Here are some guides
So heres the steps of making a good and decent one of hecka' gladiator.
Stuffs to Know
Abilities < Yeah, They're the most important thing to do of making your Gladiator or how you portrait them. Manipulating Fire and Water? Its a bit old but Yeah Its a good one to easily portrait of an ability. Some take swords as ability. Those are not abilities, They are weapons so seperate Swords from abilities. If you want to talk about swords, Then put "Sword Mastery" on your abilities and put your own Sword on "Weapons Category". Some people make their Characters with "Rage Mode", It's a good type but this type of ability is not often used in combats so it's a lil' lower type of ability. You can do that if you want. And make it original, not copied... And don't make it overpowered, overpowered DG's will be deleted. Unoriginal will be considered...
Here's an example of an overpowered DG :
Ability : He can destroy the whole universe by just snapping his fingers.
and an unoriginal one :
Ability : He has a notebook that could kill you by just writing your name in that notebook...
A decent gladiator would likely be original, not overpowered but strong, etc.
Your image
Your image, however must be 150x150. NO MORE, NO LESS. This may be made anyway you want, how epic you want it to be. Don't do it so lazily and made with MS paint. MS paint is a big role to our childhood, yes. But I suggest you make your DG image with Adobe Photoshop/ Flash or Paint Tool SAI. An image that only has your character in it would be considered lazy.
Weaknesses < Your weaknesses are just side-effects. If you can manipulate fire and water, Then your weakness is what? Then take it as you can't fight close-combat, at least you can manipulate those. Some take that they're afraid of small insects? Oh no that is not a good thing of weaknesses. The good Weaknesses are you can't fight when you lose your sword, staff, or some kind of a weapon. When you cannot fight close-to-close combat, fight long-range combat.
Story < Take time on making a good and inspirational story. Here lies your DG's background, his/her personality, his past, what he is now and anything about him. Don't just make a story that only contains "He was once a normal guy but now kicks asses and a villain." Work on your story... Try to be creative making it... You could make it inspirational if you want. That will be better if you do.
Demo < Take all of your time making this. This is VERY IMPORTANT making a decent DG. Without this, your DG will be both deleted and unbattleable. The challenger won't know how your abilities work... This thing is very important... Don't forget this. Tho it will be unfinished, at least it was understandable.
That is how you can make a good Gladiator. So Its just a guide to the people who doesn't know how to make a good ones.
