Hello. Just joined the site.

Hello all. I just signed up on this site and look forward to meeting all of you. Right now I am busy reading some of your incredible stories but look forward to creating a fighter and actively getting involved. Can anyone tell me what is the best way to create a fighter here? The character, history, personality I get but I see some of you have stats/moves/strengths etc and I was wondering about those. Thank you.

WELCOME!

I am usually more on the softer side of wrestling here, but Scorpion still has the best greetings

Regarding your questions, there is no best way to create a fighter. Make a character that is fitting to your expections and try to find posting partners who also like the idea or who you can win over with good arguments why they should battle your wrestler. Offer stories or reasons for mutual developments. When you read the profiles you will have noticed that some people have meek or also wild dolls ripe for the picking and others have a roster full of behemoth bombshells to battle other bombshells or pick said dolls.

We don´t have a fixed template for characters. You can set stats as and also only if you want, but I would always advise against a character than is good at everything.

A signature move is a move that wrestlers use to set them apart from other wrestlers and that is supposed to signal the fans that he is in control.

Having strengths shows potential posting partners what they can expect from your girl or boy, if it is aq submission based character, a brawler etc etc...

And the most important thing, AFW is not about winning most of the time.

Welcome to the community!

For general info, you can't go wrong with a few of the topics posted in the rules section. I'll relink them here for your convenience.

The stats and such are just flavor mostly, with no enforced value. It's just there as an assessment of how you feel that character stacks up, and even then there isn't really a standard followed with that. My advice to you is just figure out what they mean to you, if anything, and work off of whatever baseline you come up with. I know generally speaking I use a 5 star system.
My baseline is:
One star is below average.
Two is average.
Three is above average.
Four is exceedingly good.
Five is top of their game in that field.

Again, these hold no REAL value. They are here for character flavor and potential guides so people know how they should react when they are being hit by something or want to know how likely it is they could defend, etc. The idea is to keep things fair, and don't go overboard. Not everyone is suppose to be the best at everything.

Moves and such are just whatever you feel the character does. If you are having issues figuring out what works best, consider how they look and how good they are in certain fields and possibly find a real world wrestler to pull a moveset from. If you are very familiar with wrestling, you can just hop onto a wiki list someplace and pick things that fit as well.

Thank you. I will work on something and see what I can come up with. I appreciate the help.

You're quite welcome. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask. We're a helpful bunch.

Hi hungrybear!

I hope you have a good time here!

I always saw 3 as average and 4 above average.
Then again those numbers don't really mean much, for me it just shows how much better they are with one of their own skills compared to another. For example, my high flyer will, of course, have a lot of agility but not to much strength while my powerhouse would be the opposite.

This is actually an interesting question! I've tended to see the star rating system as follows:
One star is basically nonexistant/unskilled
Two stars is below average/rudimentary skills
Three stars is average/decently capable
Four stars is above average/highly skilled
Five stars is top notch/core capability

Then again, I usually only check the stars out to get a general idea of the difficulty level of a character. Strength is something that I compare star-to-star sometimes to evaluate which character would be stronger, but other than that, they don't really mean much more than a general idea of the opponent's style, strengths and weaknesses to me.

Oh, and welcome to Hungrybear!

Hmmm...I suggest finding the pic FIRST. Then you write a bio. Listen to music as you do so. But most importantly. And I do mean IMPORTANTLY. Like so Importantly. Is to have fun!

My Name's Caboose and I'll give you honey and good pics for chars!

Welcome to AFW. Everyone else seems to be giving you pretty darn good advice so far, so I don't really have anything to add, but I'll be happy to help you in the future whenever you need it!
