"Escape the Colosseum" Rp ( )

Postby OkieSnowman97 on Sun Sep 25, 2011 10:38 pm

You have been thrown into a colosseum for a crime. Try to go trough three matches in the coloseum before you escape. No magic(vampires and werewolves don't count), lets make this as realistic as possible. We'll make another storyline along the way. Post your character sheet, we'll start soon. Don't make your characters too overpowered. Here's the character sheet layout.




Name:Jon Lowe
Age:21
Hieght:6'2
Wieght:197'lbs
Appearence:Medium build, athletic, dark satin blonde medium short hair, grey blue eyes, always has a slight seductive smile.
Starting Eqpipment:A rapier, dirty regal clothing, and an early 1900s colt revolver.
Personality: A gentleman, confident not cocky, funny, light spirited, kind, and brave.
Short Biography:Lived as a millionares son, he is a drunkard and commited murder while drunk upon a man who slapped a waitress. He has been awaiting "trial" for a week and has not been given proper equipment for the arena because he insaulted a gaurd.

I could use some more practice with Claire. Take a look over the sheet, If the hip holsters are too much i can remove them.


profile wrote:Name: Claire Wilder

Female
Birthday: June 14th
5’8, 142 lbs
Straight, shoulder length black hair, brown eyes
Occupation: Assassin

Claire all too familiarly wears a black cami, with an army green jacket. The jacket is rarely buttoned, and it is much too big for her, hanging just below her thighs. For lower attire, Claire tends to wear a rather formfitting black pair of jeans, and a pair of lightly worn Adidas running shoes.

Crisscrossing her small busted chest, Claire wears a double bandoleer of assorted knives. Each bandoleer holds eight knives, which vary in purpose. All of them except the “Iron Knuckle” knives have the same size blade, and can hold a charge from her hip holsters.

Among these sixteen assorted knives are the following:
Ten are all purpose throwing knives, with short handles and rubberized rings at the base of the knife for instant throwing capacity at the flick of a wrist.

One linked set of two knives on either end are known as “Chain linked Knives”. These knives connected at the base by a 10 foot light weight metal chain, which can conduct electricity. Two insulated handholds reside on either end of the chain, connected to the holster of either knife.

Two are “Discharge Knives”. These knives are able to store electricity from Claire’s holsters, and discharge it at the press of a small button near the handle. Depending on the charge, the discharge from the knives can reach out a maximum of 15 feet (3 charges, 5 feet per charge)

The two remaining knives are “Iron knuckle” knives. These 13 inch blades are her primary knives, instead of a plain handle, they have slots for the fingers to grasp, making the weapons a dual threat. They can slash and cut, and add extra power to punches.

Residing on either hip, usually obscured by the green army jacket are two specialized knife holsters. Despite looking like the classic desert eagle hip holsters, these holsters can hold one normal sized knife apiece. The holsters can hold electrical charges for the course of the fight, though the reserves deplete the more they are used. Each holster carries six charges. When a knife is locked into the holster it will be charged with electricity, and the longer the knife resides in the holster the more powerful the charge becomes.

Abilities:

Charge: Upon coming within 25 yards of her target, Claire can erupt in an incredibly fast burst to put her toe to toe with her opponent in a matter of seconds.

Improved evasion: Claire’s lissome body and fast reflexes make dodging spears, daggers and other thrown weapons a cinch at ranges of 15 yards or more. At 50 yards + she can even dodge bullets.

I'll remove the hip holsters and the discharge knives. I thought they'd be a bit over the top anyway.

She'll have the throwing knives, chain linked set and her iron knuckle knives. as well her speed. Sound good?

Okay I guess we'll start, if you wanna join then post your character sheet and first reply. And yeah great character!


John stalked into his cold stony cell. He was not suprised he had been given the most unkempt cell in the deep bowels that seemed to be beconning him into the abiss as he walked. He was up for his gruesom tril in two days and he hoped that his measly equipment would get him through. He decided to sleep for the majority of his confinement. He heard someone coming down the long, black cooridor untill the tall dark figgure was at his cell door. "Just thought that you should know, your trials been moved up," John was frightened " you'll be having your first adjustment after dinner." the man bellowed a deep laugh that sounded more like a howl. John decided to kneel and pray untill the time came.

It had been a long while since Claire had seen light from the outside. Kept in one of the colosseum's darkest inner cells, the girl had made headlines as one of the colosseum's four former champions. A 2v2 match had been been scheduled for the delight of the crowd, and the winning side had been allowed to walk free.

Much to Claire's dismay, her ally had proved to be battle inept, and had been killed in the first exchange of swords. Despite her best efforts, and her ability to eliminate one member of the two person squad, Claire had proved to be unsuccessful. An unseen armored kick had hit her in the back of the head and left the girl unconscious in the arena. Declared dead, Claire's opponent sauntered off to freedom while Claire had been left face down on the battlefield.

She had awakened hours later in the cell. An enemy of the state for killing the previous emperor, and the loser of her match she would never be let go. Kept in the isolation of darkness and solitude the champion had been locked away, forgotten by the crowds, forgotten by everyone but the person who brought her gruesome food on a daily basis. Her skin had paled, and what was left of her clothes had decayed to rags that barely clung to her body. While the darkness protected her modesty, the assassin was helpless to stop time as it groaned by.

A week
A month
A year
More?

Just how long had she been in the cell? Night mixed with day, the stone drowned out all but the loudest of cheers from the battlefield. There was nothing to keep track of time other then the daily meals from the guard. The only thing Claire had maintained since her last fight was her strength and her precision. Spending the hours not spent sleeping on pushups, curls,jogs around the cell. Anything to keep her mind off the singular question "How long have I been here?"

A door at the end of the hall opened.

Odd timing I only just finished my meal three-hundred seventy eight laps ago Claire thought to herself. The counting obsession a part of breaking the monotony.

I wonder what it means.

Jon heard the door at the end of the hall open, the person in the cell next to him stopped thier jog. He heard foot steps and then a platter slid under his door, dinner had come. He ate and awaited the next time the gaurd came down the hall. He couldnt help wondering if there was any way he could avoid the battle, like an escape, but he knew that was impossable.

The door opened. The door closed. Footsteps grew louder in the corridor.

Claire listened intently. Did she hear the splash of water? The sliding of a food tray?

The sounds rang out to her. So familiar. Why now? She had just eaten. More food was appreciated, and Claire's mouth watered at the thought, proving Pavlov and his stupid dog's theory about conditioning.

The feet stopped short, not quite making it to her cell. There was a familiar jingling as the food slot was opened and the dinner slid into the room next to her.

Wait.... There was no one else in this abyss. She was alone in her misery.

The steps walked back up the hall, closing the door behind them.

Claire tried to use her voice. A tool she hadn't used since she had been put in this grimy cell. Recalling her old power and confidence Claire spoke up.

"Is someone there?" The sound came out of her like a squeak. So unused to her own voice she barely recognized it.

She cleared her throat. There was no way anyone would have heard her. So she tried again.

"Is someone there?"

It still lacked the authority it once had, but it would carry. Perhaps there was another person like her in this overwhelming darkness. Perhaps something new to break the monotony had entered her life.
