[u][url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/251577583/0/0]Master Post[/url][/u]; [u][url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/251577739/0/0]Loadout Post[/url][/u]; [u][url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/251577612/0/0]Outer Animal Post[/url][/u] [b][u]Oasis[/u][/b] - Broken-down ruins lie abandoned in a desert. These ruins are surrounded by palm trees, and there is very little water left to be found in the oasis itself. This arena offers a unique challenge of battling the blazing heat while offering some shelter in the form of the ruins. ([u][url=http://www.finalfantasy.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/1.jpg]Example[/url][/u]) [b][u]Caverns[/u][/b] - Only the sound of water dripping permeates through these caverns. The floors and ceilings are covered with stalagmites and stalactites, and cliffs within the caverns lead to the darkest chasms in OffTopic. Natural light filters into the caves from holes to the surface above, but the caves are never lit more than dusk would be. However, fighters must keep their wits about them as they make their way through the maze-like tunnels in pursuit of their opponents. Also, there might or might not be a dragon residing somewhere within the caverns. We have yet to confirm or deny the presence of one of his lairs within these caves. ([u][url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/f/f5/Sochen-Cave-Palace-FFXII-TZA.png/revision/latest?cb=20170922001057]Example[/url][/u]) [b][u]Atlantis[/u][/b] - The famous underwater palace still shines golden after ages past, but is overgrown with seaweed after being forgotten in the pages of myth. In this arena, fighters are automatically given rebreathers with technology to allow them to breathe underwater, but nothing further. They must fight the difficult mobility underwater as well as their opponent. ([u][url=https://abstract.desktopnexus.com/get/461211/?t=j4d5sb13oneq7s0hjb0r57v1h45c9c438343d16]Example[/url][/u]) [b][u]Waterfall of Kings[/u][/b] - A ledge of a cliff on waterfall’s edge, ancient fights were held on these sacred grounds to determine who is King. Now, the arena serves in the OAFL as a small, generic battle arena, but with a dooming drop should a fighter be pushed off the waterfall into the abyss below. ([u][url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelcinematicuniverse/images/8/86/Warrior_Falls.png/revision/latest?cb=20181212042320]Example[/url][/u]) [b][u]Misty Mountains[/u][/b] - Fighters will battle it out on the high black rock, surrounded by patches of snow and heavy fog. Since this arena is a mountain range, combatants must have the capabilities to deal with the dangers of the mountains as well as the fog, but must also be wary of tumbling off the many rocks and ledges throughout the mountains. ([u][url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/lotr/images/6/6d/Misty_mountains.png/revision/latest?cb=20061212203015]Example[/url][/u]) [b][u]Hildr Strönd[/u][/b] - The name literally translates to “Battle Beach”. As the ocean waves crash on a forgotten shore, fighters will battle in the style of the Vikings, surrounded by broken-down ships in a harbor nearby as well as many banners floating in the wind. In this arena, fighters must be able to move quickly through sand and water should they find themselves in precarious situations. ([u][url=https://imgur.com/gallery/ZOrrbR9/comment/520613305]Example[/url][/u]) ([u][url=https://soundcloud.com/juanjoassassin/final-fantasy-xv-battle-theme-nightcave]Theme Song[/url][/u]) [b][u]Zeus’s Battlegrounds[/u][/b] - Fountains ring this glorious Greek temple, and inside, statues of various gods and goddesses stand proud around the perimeter of the temple. Columns lined with sparkling diamonds hold a ceiling too high to see. A bright chandelier hangs from the ceiling, lighting up the entire temple. At the center of the temple is a statue of a lightning bolt and a gravestone made of pure diamond and gold. These words are etched upon the gravestone: [quote]Here lies God, A Kindred Soul, Laid To Rest, Missed By All Who Knew Him Best[/quote] If a fight prolongs itself for too long, a storm will gather outside the temple. Rain will cover the temple grounds outside and begin to flood the temple and fountains. Lightning will strike more often as the match grows longer, sometimes even striking inside the temple. Once a victor is decided, a laurel wreath floats down from the sky, which the victor may claim.

The arena is a plane, stretching on forever, sporadically bursting in pillars of flame. The unforgiving bedrock underfoot itself seems to crave the blood spilt in OAFL fights. This arena offers a battle against chance and flame - fighters must be able to come up with a way to deal with the random bursts of flame that come forth from the ground. ([u][url=http://allbackgrounds.com/preview.php?background=from-hell]Example[/url][/u]) (Ignore the gray text box in the corner of the example - it was the only suitable picture I could find.) ([url=https://soundcloud.com/rok-nardin/the-devil][u]Theme Song[/u][/url]) [b][u]Lurkwood[/u][/b] - The home of most lurkers in OffTopic, the Lurkwood provides a special arena for the OAFL in that fighters must battle without light. If fighters are battling during the day, a small amount of light filters through the trees above, granting enough light to barely see shapes in the dark. However, this place becomes menacing at night - there is no light available at all, and fighters must move through the many trees while tracking down their opponent. A fighter’s strategy is put to the ultimate test in this arena. ([u][url=https://dissolve.com/video/Seamless-looping-animation-fireflies-dark-royalty-free-stock-video-footage/001-D91-39-013]Example[/url][/u]) ([url=https://soundcloud.com/user-682948379/gaunter-o-dimm-theme-the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-hearts-of-stone][u]Theme Song[/u][/url]) [b][u]Ender’s Sparring Grounds[/u][/b] - This is one of the most unique arenas the OAFL has to offer. Fighters must fight in zero-gravity, forced to use objects floating in “mid-space” as cover and for movement. The field is entirely three-dimensional, and fighters must be able to look up and down as well as left and right when looking for their foes. Fighters new to OAFL are advised against fighting in this arena! ([u][url=https://media.giphy.com/media/uhnOXRFz126Dm/giphy.gif]Example[/url][/u]) ([u][url=https://soundcloud.com/disney-music-group-emea/derezzed-by-daft-punk-tron]Theme Song[/url][/u]) [b][u]Coliseum[/u][/b] - A light layer of dirt covers the cobblestone that is the floor of this small arena. Ruins of a once-grand civilization, fighters battle at the base of the Coliseum, while spectators look on and cheer for a good fight. The classic Coliseum is the basic battleground for beginning fighters looking to make a name for themself. ([u][url=https://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-25/dg3-coliseum.html]Example[/url][/u]) ([u][url=https://soundcloud.com/moonlighteas2/this-will-be-the-day-rwby]Theme Song[/url][/u]) [b][u]Valhalla[/u][/b] - The realm of fallen heroes shines brightly as huge marble buildings tower above the clouds thousands of feet above. Fighters will battle in the polished streets between buildings, surrounded by the majesty of the halls around them. Banned Offtopians may show up and watch the duel, or go so far as to interfere with it. ([url=https://www.historicmysteries.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/valhalla2.jpg][u]Example[/u][/url]) [b][u]Frozen Wasteland[/u][/b] - This arena is another arena recommended for experienced fighters only. The unforgiving ice can crack at any time, plunging any fighter unfortunate enough to be standing on the thin ice into the deep, dark, cold depths below. Fighters must also combat the biting cold of the atmosphere by keeping warm in whatever manner they can. ([url=http://eskipaper.com/images/arctic-wallpaper-5.jpg][u]Example[/u][/url]) [b][u]Castle Ruins[/u][/b] - Crumbling stone and magnificent architecture are the evidence of a once-grand age. Abandoned and forgotten, these ruins now serve as an OAFL arena, providing its own challenge by mixing close quarters with vast open halls. ([url=https://images.alphacoders.com/151/thumb-1920-151171.jpg][u]Example[/u][/url]) [b][u]Acro's Lab[/u][/b] - ACROCANTHUS has graciously allowed me to host OAFL fights in his lab, and so, I have installed it as a regular arena within the OAFL! Within the lab lies every fighter's greatest fear: the unknown. Fighters may encounter everything from dimensional portals to advanced weaponry technology or genetic experiments to explosions in an active lab. ([u][url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c0/91/10/c091109b9938c1389d79aee953575128.png]Example[/url][/u]) ([url=https://youtu.be/Zno-1-mYrHM][u]Theme Song[/u][/url]) [b][u]Toaster's Factory[/u][/b] - The dark and abandoned factory that once gave birth to a Colossus that wreaked havoc upon OffTopic has appeared once more. The Factory is crumbling once more, and the Prototype Mech may walk the halls of the Factory once again. Fighters must battle dark experiments and traps inside the Factory as they pick their way through the debris.
