This is an open challenge to anyone and everyone who has a character and wishes to accept. It would be preferable if my opponent had a good heart, but anyone will do. Credit goes to Jenova on
for giving me the idea for this arena.
I will be using my Jake character (http://www.finalfantasyforums.net/galbadia-garden/hera-ledros-characters-1783.html)

Whigrad Port City
It was well known that the primary reason for the Holy Northern Empire's initial southward expansion was due to a lack of trade opportunities. The harsh climate left most of the coastline frozen for the majority of the year, and crossing over land during the winter months was dangerous. This put the empire at the economic mercy of smaller countries that had access to year-round ports.
This all changed a little over two hundred years ago, when the second Emperor Mikhail invaded the southern nations, carving a path along the northwestern coast in a bloody expansion of territory that lasted almost thirty years. The war caused great strife in those times, but the union of so many nations eventually brought economic prosperity as the empire became the leading trade power in the northwest. The Mikhailian Sea, renamed after the man who brought it under one flag, remains under the empire's control to this day.
However, smaller cities to the north still rely on the seasonal ports. During the summer thaw, when the ice breaks up and the ships can pull free of the harbor, there is a rush of ocean traffic to get enough supplies to last the year. These port cities see a lot of cash flow during these times, but in the off-season, they are all but abandoned. Whigrad Port City was one such place. Smoke rose from the industrial areas and individual homes, but other than these small signs of life, there was little to distinguish Rydia from a ghost town.

Jake had come here before, but only after his uncle, Ashia, had called him here.
Ashia, being Hera Ledro's brother, was an Allsie, and one of the few remaining survivors. Ashia battled a man Solus here, and won, only to realize he was being manipulated by his eldest brother, Sukani. He won the ensuing battle with his opponent, Solus, but had lost a friend in the process. through the battle, though short as it was, Ashia fought with increasing vigor and enjoyment, thrilled that there was one that could match him. In the end, though, he had won as his final transformation made him extremely strong. Too strong in fact. He misjudged his strength and blasted a hole straight through his opponent, ultimately killing him.
As a gesture of honour to his opponent, Ashia buried him there. Even though he had known him for only a few minutes, he could tell that Solus was unique.
Jake approached the icy spire that held Solus' body, and looked at his face through the clear ice. Ashia managed to heal the actual wound, but the life had already been extinguished from Solus' body.
The body was held upright in a posture of pride, his sword held in soldier's position in front of his body, the point pointing towards the ground. his hair was draped to the sides, exposing his flawless face in the ice.
Jake layed the flowers down on the ground by the tomb, which read:
Under the inscription was a worn out date of brith to date of death. Jake may not have knownSolus personally, but anyone who was a victim of Sukani's plots was worthy of flowers from gods.
All of a sudden, the ground shifted behind Jake, and he heard someone approaching. He whirled around, drawing his sword and calling: "Who's there!?"

Please, have a non-god-modding character guys. No super powerful people who can blow up the planet and stuff like that. And he should be posted on these forums.
