HARROWING BACKSTORY:
Disowned by her (very large) family for her eccentric lifestyle of challenging random strangers to mortal duels, Skitterleap honed her skills in the wild and lived off the land. She has come to the arena to hone her martial arts in the only environment one truly can. The potential to return to her warrens a champion justified in dispensing "told-you-so's" is just a bonus.

Lore: When this ancient terror first emerged from the depths of the corrupt and bottomless maze, Spearimpale, a black cloud covered the sun. Is has not been discovered what, or if, the beast calls itself. In captivity, it has only screamed and bellowed like a bull. Its heavy hooves are scuffed and encrusted with thick cakes of blood, black with age. The lifeblood of those who would clean those hooves has soaked into dense, black fur. Its mighty horns, though naked, seem draped with a banner of war.

Ah, exciting stuff! I can hardly wait to see how this all plays out.

Parmesan Dorothy Grimsley Rigmarole

Race:
  • Rat Woman (260)
Equipment:
  • Copper Halberd - 35
  • Copper Helm - 15
  • Copper Mail Shirt - 30
  • Copper Chain Leggings - 20
  • Copper Gauntlets - 10
  • Copper High Boots - 12.5 (unsure how rounding works here)
Skills:
  • Novice Discipline - 3
  • Novice Swimmer - 2
  • Competent Dodger - 30
  • Competent Armor User - 12
  • Proficient Axewoman - 90
Spent: 259.5
Left:       0.5

Parmesan is gunning for the prize money, in order to fund her studies as a civil engineer.
She's not completely sure there will be prize money, but she'll take what she can get!
This intrepid rat has received no formal combat training - the kind of people who aspire to labour on critical infrastructure are just built like this, dwarf or not.
Just from where she sourced the equipment is anyone's guess.

"My Love was unconditional... now all I crave is Vengeance."

Name: Ru˙ava Alanaeyila (tr. Ru˙ava Sensualwork)
Race: Elf Woman (220 p)

Gear:
Black Bronze Spear (20x2= -40p)
Black Bronze Buckler (30x2= -60p)
Leather Gloves (8x0.5= -4p)
Leather Armour (24x0.5= -12p)
Leather Leggins (14x0.5= -7p)
Leather Low Boots (8x0.5= -4p)
(A green cloth tunic if that's allowed, for rp reasons. If it costs points, i'll let go of it.)

Skills:
Skilled Spearelf (-50p)
Competent Observer (-18p)
Adequate Dodger (-15p)
Adequate Discipline (-9p)

Points left: 1p

Lore:
Ru˙ava from the Calm Owl-Jaws, was a well endowed elf woman with dark copper hair who grew up tending animals & picking flowers, eventually marrying a handsome elf and raising six children.
...But that was years ago...
All three marriages failed, with two divorces and her third husband falling in battle to the Humans of Reinedelbows.
Seeing his corpse struck her with Loss and Pain as she griefed over his body for days.
As days pass, she steels her griefing heart and became a spy to visit the Human towns.
The Humans talked about a Tournament and that many renowned Warriors will participate all over the Lands, while alot of Nobles will enjoy the spectactle.
But she will have to participate the tournament to keep her cover. And she needs a weapon.
And so she traveled back to the fetid battlefield and pulls out the Black Bronze Spear from of her dead Husbands body.
A great opportunity to make "Friends" and find the Murderer of her Husband from the Human Village "Reinedelbows", so that she can enact vengeance with the very weapon that ended the life of her beloved.




(I used Legends mode to dig around some elves and it's such a great way to get an inspiring backstory :) highly recommended)

NAME: Kligus

RACE: Kobold (+280 points)

EQUIPMENT:
  • Obsidian Short Sword (-20)
  • Cave Crocodile Leather Armor (-12)
  • Cave Crocodile Leather Leggings (-7)
  • Linen Loincloth (-0)

SKILLS:
  • Expert Dodger (-180)
  • Skilled Observer (-30)
  • Competent Swordsman (-30)

Points Spent: 279
Points Remaining: 1

BACKSTORY:
Kligus is from a once-large family of kobolds that has been swiftly dwindling in number, unable to keep up with the seemingly endless waves of cave crocodiles appearing in their home caverns. An expert dodger, Kligus has honed her ability to escape dangerous situations, but she still has a lot to learn about actually defending herself. Kligus does her best to train in the better-lit parts of the caves using the treasures she has found. Her favorite treasure is an obsidian short sword she recently spotted nestled in the moss on the deepest cavern floor, never questioning who it might have once belonged to (or why they were never able to return for it).

Name: Ru˙ava Alanaeyila (tr. Ru˙ava Sensualwork)

Couple of notes here
-Leather Armor is 12 points, not 10 (24 X 0.5)
-Competent Dodger is 30 points, not 18.

This puts you above your point limit, so you'll have to revise the build slightly. the rest of your math checks out though!

From the hills comes a story... from the fighting rings of the border towns comes a legend, the legend of El Escarabajo Carmesí, the Crimson Beetle! An unmatched chitinous luchador who has never tasted defeat (or blueberries) he strides into battle, flexes his mighty arms, and challenges any who might... er... challenge his greatness! 
How will he stand against warriors with spears and blades? Ha! With style!
Who is he under that mask? Who knows?
Will we see his patented Crimson choke-hold? We hope so!
