HP Bars (Health Bars)
I have added a new feature to the website, a health bar which appears when you input a simple code into your posts! This can be easily used when Roleplaying a fight, and it gives a general Soul Calibur feel! ^^
As always, there are rules to this:
> The health bar has a maximum HP rate of 50. Please do not exceed this maximum rate.
> Please use the bar sensibly. Please don't decrease your health by one for each hit, for example. This is powerplaying, which we do not tolerate here.
> I won't moderate any battle scenes which go under Sparring/Dueling in AU/OOC, however, please be aware that any sort of battle in canon I shall be moderating, so be warned!
How to use the Health Bar:
When you write a post, at the beginning of the post, write the following code with square brackets [ ] BEFORE and AFTER:
HP=50/50
This will make this bar appear:
[HP=50/50]
To decrease the health bar in your next post, simply lower the first number. Remember to include square brackets [ ] BEFORE and AFTER!
HP=47/50
[HP=47/50]
And so it goes on!
How to use the HP bar in a Battle Scene:
In both your and your opponent's first post, you must have a full gauge. For example:
______________
[HP=50/50]
Sophitia leapt onto the vast raft which was calmly floating around the moat of Ostrheinsburg Castle, which was steadily approaching a bridge, entering dimly lit tunnel. The silence was almost threatening...
The Grecian woman snapped her head in all directions, as she had felt someone was in her presence...
____
[HP=50/50]
Tira was watching the Grecian woman on the raft from on top of the bridge, smiling coyly at her foolishness. A watcher sat upon the bipolar girl's shoulder, its red eyes blinking down at Sophitia.
With a cheerful cackle, Tira somersaulted down onto the raft just as it entered the tunnel, landing gracefully onto the floating platform, her ring blade on her shoulder and slung around her hip.
"To abandon your children and come all this way..."
Tira mused with a murderous grin, before swinging her ring blade above her head and around her wrist... "Now... SPIN!"
The ring blade aimed directly towards Sophitia's neck...
___
[HP=41/50]
Sophitia's eyes narrowed when Tira had landed on the raft, however, her eyes had widened when she had swung the ring blade around her head, and lashing at her neck...
The ring blade sliced across her neck, the impact causing Sophitia to be spun almost endlessly on the spot, before collapsing, the dizziness causing the Alexandra to plummet to the floor.

I hope this new feature proves to be useful in battle scenes! =)
