Naryar, or as he likes to be called THE MIGHTY NARYAR, arrived on the forums in March 2008 with already some basic knowledge of stock. Over the years he slowly devoted himself to DSL, and became one of the top builders of the DSL community.
Apart from having probably the most comically overinflated ego of the whole community, he also has been one of the most influential members in the development of DSL building, with other builders such as Clickbeetle, R0B0SH4RK, Jules and MikeNCR.
Of the whole community, he has won the most tournaments, a fact that he is rightfully proud of.
Naryar's personal goals include improving the building skills of the whole community, and participating in tournaments mostly for the thrill of the fight, as well as encouraging constructive conflict between members. And he will
He is the second French BBEANS champion after Cooker. He is the first BBEANS Champion to emerge as a winner from the loser's bracket. Also the only person to have won more than one of Clickbeetle's tournaments.
Fifth in BBEANS ratings.
Also the creator of the NAR AI pack, a DSL AI pack that ups the difficulty of the DSL AI bots by several notches. Currently at it's v2.4 version with nothing less than 106 teams, and has taken a solid claim as the "Starcore AI pack of DSL".
He also created a small mod for Stock, ROFL AI, that is basically an overpowered stock with rebuilt stock bots, also with humorous custom parts. Naryar said he created the mod for laughs. After the initial release, Naryar abandoned the project.
He won the first BOTM, and two more since.
Has attempted to host a NAR AI tournament, NAR AI Wars v1. Currently is on hold, it is unlikely that he will restart the tournament.
And as a last tidbit, he is the first Wiki moderator (ironically due to him lowering ACAMS's respect rating) and was recently promoted to showcase moderator on Gametechmods, like Pwnator.
His rise in power was slow, but went all the way. After becoming showcase moderator with Pwnator, he earned the global moderator position a year after. He claimed for himself the title of "Evil Overlord" and started. Despite this initial outburst, he is generally seen as a stern but fair figure as a lawbringer, though power-hungry and prone to quick banning, but never without reason.
Now that he cannot directly ban anymore, he tends to mute people that misbehave. For actions in the main RA2 forum he tries to always judge fairly, but in off-topic (mostly playground and chatterbox) all bets are off : not only he bans people for illegal actions there as well, he tends to mute when his standards are not met, when some newbie thinks he can insult him and get away with it, or for his own amusement.
Bot building
DSL: Voted as top DSL builder by the community twice, but lost the title twice to 123STW in the third and fifth tallies of Sage's rankings by vote, was second and acknowledged this, not being as dedicated as 123 towards DSL. A Wedged bot specialist, particularly True popups (One of his earned him one championship) but also Jugglers (see Hazardous Contraption) and Wammers. He considers himself as a rather creative builder. Also completely fails at building Antweights. The last of the DSL ranks has seen him being relegated to fifth place,
Dislikes generic bots - that is cloning, as well as any bot which overuses flail weapons, especially flail shell spinners. Also absolutely despises any single uses of Ballasts and Piglets when used as drive motors, and will happily eat any newbie who uses them on their bots. Invented Narmor for his own doom.
Naryar is currently not very motivated by the game, and it is possible his building career will soon end.
Stock: A good builder in overall, but has issues stacking. He believes strongly Popups are the best bots and has some kind of grudge against horizontal spinners in tournaments. Dislikes generic bots too. Hates crawlers in tournaments - that shown when he whacked Sage for entering "Cheap Win 3000" in BBEANS5. Very rarely builds in stock now, diverting most of it's attention to DSL building.
For some reason he seems to have really bad luck in Stock tournaments, with unfortunate losses in BBEANS 5, ROBONOVA, Doomed Bots and Reier's Robo Rumble 1.
He now only very occasionally builds for stock, mostly for tournaments.

Notable Tournament Robots
Hazardous Contraption: DSL MW Juggler and Naryar's signature bot. Fast, damaging and probably one of the best skirt hinge wedges ever built, Hazcon still is one of Naryar's best DSL MWs in his words. BBEANS4 champion. Main issue is being not invertible, and the weak chassis armor doesn't seems to be a big problem.
Infernal Contraption 2: DSL HW Juggler HazCon's bigger brother. Twice the drive, 5 times the armor and probably also twice the weaponry and twice the weapon power. Wedges were comparatively inferior to Hazcon's though. Ranked 5th in RAW 1 and won the rumble, as well as the prize for Best Built Robot. Contrarily to it's small brother, Infernal Contraption benefited from many rebuilds and now sports much more efficient wedges.
Hope No More 3.2: DSL HW True Popup, was Naryar's best HW before he built the NAR AI v1 robots.. Fast drive, very good wedges and damaging weapon made that bot the Wild Robots Live 1 champion. However, the bot (even if invertible) can't self right and is less than average when inverted. Also large and exposed wheels. Barely follows the DSL realistic rule.
Cataclysm: DSL HW SnS. Naryar wanted to build something outside the norm (and that was Pinball clones when Cataclysm was built) and it ended with 3WD E-tek drive with Techno Destructo wheels and 285 kg of hammers on 3 bars. It was entered in GUMBA and went second, losing twice to Madiaba's Skinhead.
PitA 8: It was a popup entered in BBEANS 5. It has excellent Snapper2 wedges and a full caster armored chassis wedge (like the 7th but more protective), but the razors fall very fast if they hit enough weapons, and the slope of the caster armored wedge is quite steep, making it difficult to climb by other bots (especially other wedges that have a nasty tendency to interlock between two casters).
It beat its 2 first opponents easily (Acupuncture, a rammer, and Three Kings, a disc HS). It faced then the mighty Absolute Chaos, and lost, to InfiniteInertia's surprise. Then, entering into the loser's bracket, to everyone's amazement, lost to Insult to Injury V, an unarmored vertical spinner with only a chassis wedge.
Raptor Knight: Stock HW Hammer bot (both side and vertical designs) built for the Jousting Tournament King of Karnage It was submitted to JoeBlo as merely a prototype to ensure it works/ met the rules correctly, however the final version never made the deadline and as a result, JoeBlo entered in the prototype as Naryars Entry, still Baring the default plastic armour texture, Raptor Knight actually managed to dominate various matches and eventually go on to win the whole tournament.
Pillar of Pain: Stock LW Pillar of Fire ripoff, and Naryar's entry into Reier's Robo Rumble 1. Failed because of severe lack of stability.
Ancient Curse: Stock MW True Popup and Naryar's entry in Doomed Bots. A decent bot, managed to get 2 wins in the loser's bracket after losing to 40757's popup (even if Naryar claimed to have good wedges)
Blade Barrier: DSL MW Wammer entered in Craaig's Rust in Pieces. Naryar believed at the time it is simply his best MW, and tested it against the NAR AI with excellent results. It won it's first two fights against Somebody and Jonzu95, but got KOed by Pwnator's True Popup, triggering Naryar's rage. The V-shaped pinning wammer design spawned a few ripoffs notably by Ounce.
Fallen Hero: DSL 3WD MW flail SnS and Iron Storm 5 ripoff, entered in Clash Cubes 3. Won it's first fight against LincK's DangerBox, then lost to Scrap Daddy's Disturbance Strategy and to his surprise SSG's Fireman
Imperfect Construction: DSL HW Wammer for Chinese Whispers, jointly built with russian roulette, Ribbs, Little lost bot and Craaig. The bot induced mild rage from Naryar because it had roughly 90 kg on a BSG flipper, so he made it a wammer. Despite this flaw, it actually managed to win the competition.
