Introduction
WARNING PG 17 for violence and mild language.
Participation discretion is advised
In accent Rome there was a great monument where many gathered to participate in the glorious blood shed of others. They were hero's and villains at the same time. Admired and hated. They were gladiators of the Colosseum!
"Welcome to the age of the gladiator. You do not have a choice in your fate. Either you were born to a life of wine and lavishness or you were born a worker who must slave away the rest of your miserable life." Or so says everyone in the market on an average day. "The one exception," others say "is the gladiator. They have a chance to rise from slavery to see the other side of life, all they have to do is win a few hundred battles against the most vicious creatures and people of the world." And they would laugh. Laugh at the hardship they never had to endure. But once you have faced a lion that has been starved for weeks like you have been starved for days you don't laugh. You kill. That becomes all you can think of at the Colosseum, killing.
Guess who is sick of it. That's right, one gladiator will make it to the top where he will rid the world of the horrid Colosseum. Or, guess who wants to be the champion of the Colosseum and rule Rome. He will work his way to the top to kill Caesar and become the new Caesar, ruler of Rome and the Colosseum.
Choose your side.

ALL QUESTIONS IN OOC SECTION PLEASE
OK Hello everyone! Don't worry the only characters are not gladiators. I will need (of course) gladiators (characters must be male but the puppeteer does not) , slaves, wife of Caesar, and daughters of Caesar (actually just ladies of the court), sons of Caesar(men of the court (they don't fight in the Colosseum) and perhaps even some Gods!
All characters will need my approval only because i don't want an overload of the same type of character.
Here is the limit for now;
I need...
Caesar- Taken
Wife of Caesar-Taken
Son of Caesar-
Son of Caesar-
(more after these fill up)
Daughter of Caesar- Taken
Daughter of Caesar-Taken
Daughter of Caesar-Taken
(more ladies of the court after the gladiators fill up)
Slave-
Slave-
(slaves are owned by either a daughter or son of Caesar)
Gladiator- Taken
Gladiator- Taken
Gladiator- Taken
Gladiator-
Gladiator-
(During the days you will train and be able to walk through the palace with the ladies of the court ~.^
but you cannot escape and will sleep in cells)
(More gladiators accepted when these fill up)
Zeus-Taken (cannot interfere in battles, can come to earth in human form)
_______________________________________________________________________
The Battles of the Colosseum
The battles will be announced once we have gladiators by Caesar. You may not cut any limbs off your opponent and you may only kill your opponent unless given permission by Caesar.
Fighter #1 writes the first post of the battle, fighter #2 writes the second post, Caesar decides who wins, and then the winner who was decided by Caesar writes a 3rd post where he takes the life of the loser. (You can only kill another character if it is your third match against your opponent. If your character dies feel free to make another but some must die. This is the Colosseum after all.)
________________________________________________________________________
Rules
1.I don't mind if you get frisky just do it in private chat and hint at it in the RP.
2. You can start a fight in the cells but no killing
3.Have fun, get drunk off wine and enjoy the blood shed.
For you profile make it how you would normally, just include;
Name-
Age-
Weapons of choice- Three tops (shield counts as weapon) (only if gladiator)
For or Against Caesar-
For those of you who requested a storyline to start with her it is....
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Caesar reaches a hand out to a map of the lands that he has conquered and they all melt into blood. Dripping to the floor the blood pools until it begins to run between the stones. It continues to run passing thousands of seats and drips into a pit. In this pit surrounded by seats a lioness and a large man are circling each other waiting to see how the other plans to finish them. <this was an opening i imagined for a movie..
Caesar was a major conqueror taking down country after country. There was very little, known, land that he hadn’t been taken control over and turned to ruins. He is known as the bloodiest tyrant in the history of the current world. With his tyranny came slaves, only the finest women, potential wealthy children and strongest men were taken. The rest were killed immediately. The women became sex slaves. The children; boys began training to be a gladiators and girls served the royals until they were old enough to become sex slaves as well. As for the men, they became gladiators of the Colosseum.
Each gladiator has a chance to earn their freedom and the hand of one off Caesars daughters in marriage. That is if they can manage to kill and slaughter their way to the top. Some want to make it there only to slay Caesar and take the thrown and rule all he has conquered. Others wish to slay Caesar and liberate all countries from tyranny. Lastly there are the few who cherish our leader Caesar and wish to stand beside him at the top.
Which are you?

"I'm prepared to do almost anything that will gain me my freedom, what is your suggestion, Lady Aurelia ?" Woulfgar asked plainly.

"Between my father's like for you, the potential for a male heir, and you being with his most loved daughter he would undoubtedly be encouraged to grant your freedom." Maybe this wasn't news to Woulfgar, but maybe it was. It was well known that Caesar's daughters were sent to encourage the gladiators but perhaps not so well known that they were expected to be searching for one as a suitor. "Besides, winning her over would prove that not only are you the best gladiator in the arena, but also the best out of it as well. Mind that you will not be without competition..but it may in the end be a fast way to getting out of the arena for good." Her face watched Woulfgar's for any hint of a reaction as she straightened in her chair. "If the potential of this route interests you I may know one way to catch my sisters abrupt attention..if it doesn't..then may it be as if we never spoke of it and I will sleep well in knowing I simply met the man who fights for Caesar and Rome." Her arms rested on the table, fingers laced together as her hands clasped together.

Vittoria was shocked at her fathers performance but was glad that it had given her a reason to disappear. She left the palace to feel the cool air great her and make her feel more comfortable. She headed to the gladiator cells to meet with Spurius and she was feeling confident..until she entered the dark underground hold. She walked with a candle through the other slaves and gladiators howling at her, begging and cursing. She held her superior appearance as she approached the one cell that was actually secluded. This made her a bit nervous, after all he was a gladiator and he had all the cards at the moment. Getting raped was not in the plan but she thought again and assured herself that it was just the dark that was spooking her and he wouldn't do anything of the sort to her. "Spurius? Are you awake gladiator?

Cassie walked off to her room. Once she got there she changed into her night robes and went to sit down on her bed. She was now thinking what her mother had said this time. Cassie knew that when ever her mother had I word on something her father would get mad and end all happiness for every one but him self. Cassie sighed. She then started to get up and walk around the palace for awhile.

Woulfgar then smirked, the kind of smirk a wolf would make if it was about to attack an unsuspected prey, and he looked at Aurelia with a wicked look, "There is no competition when it comes to the King of Slaves. I am the only gladiator that will walk out of the arena with my freedom, whatever it will take. Spurius is nothing more but a maggot to me, I'll have him killed while he sleeps, less competition for me, or I'll kill him in the arena, in front of everyone so they can see who the real champion is....hell, I'll give Caesar his head as a gift, if it'll help.
There is no competition. I am the King of the slaves, they fear me and don't cross me, as for Spurius, or whatever the hell his name it...He is no different, he thinks he's tough, but he's just another small piece of meat compared to me.
Thank you for your advice Lady Aurelia, I'm sure I can steer it all from here," Woulfgar said as he stood up, towering above Aurelia, still smiling his impish smile.
Woulfgar obviously was going to kill Spurius when he could, whatever it took, if he had to merry Vittoria afterward didn't make much of a difference to him, he would just have a woman and freedom, hell, maybe he would even get a good life after his hard life as a gladiator, wouldn't be too bad for Woulfgar.
Woulfgar returned to the food, quickly ended his deadly appetite and then left the feast. He wanted to sleep and get ready for tomorrows battle, though before he left he gave Aurelia a last look. He still had his impish smile on his face.
Blood was going to be spilled soon.

As she made her way to the door to take a few moments outside a hand from the shadows reached out to grasp at her robes. In one swift movement she turned with skill no women should have, pulling a dagger from its spot of concealment and placed it at the throat of the one who dared touch her without permission. The nearby guards had tensed, but when they noticed Aurelia was handling the situation they relaxed slightly. They had learned the hard way that whenever possible she enjoyed being able to look after herself. She was no damsel in distress--most of the time-- and she did not appreciate being treated like one without first asking for help. On the other side of her dagger was a drunken and now startled young Senator. "Let go of my robes sir.." she pushed the tip of her dagger into his skin drawing the slightest bit of blood. "You do not grab a lady without permission, now do you? Best be thankful I'm not my father.." her eyes shifted to the guards, "or those guards..or you would have already taken your last breath." The tip of the dagger slid a small distance making a painful cut, but nothing deep enough to scar or kill. With one last look at the Senator she sighed, wiped her blade on his robes and then hid it back in hers. "May this be the last time you make that mistake." With that she backed up, gave the guards a look that reminded them not to let this event be leaked to anyone else, and then turned again to exit the room and head onto the palace front lawn.

Cassie smiled "Well that was good, Oh me I was outside talking to Alax....father told me to but I much enjoy talking to Alax nicer then most people" Then she thought about the thing with their father. "Oh that well you see I heard from mother that she asked a simple question that some how triggured father to snap so that would be why there is no more feast here" Cassie frowned a bit. "Who do you think is going to come out alive tomorrow?" Now Cassie waited for Aurelia to answer.

Aurelia studied her sister for a moment, she really was not much younger than her and it would be expected of all three of them to marry in the not too distant future. "Well I'm glad you have found company you enjoy..as for the games, I am yet to hear who will be facing who. Spurius and Woulfgar are among my favorites so I hope they do not face each other too soon--that would be a tense battle to watch." Her eyes gazed over the front lawn of the palace, down by the river a few guests remained, talking and laughing in a drunken state. She chose to say nothing for a while and after a few moments she turned to go back inside. "Good night Sister Cassie..." walking away she headed to her chambers to retire for the night.

Cassie nodded then walked around the lawn for awhile. After a few minutes Cassie went back inside and went to her chambers. She layed down on her bed a slowly fell asleep. She had a dreamless sleep through the whole night through.
(Sorry its short but just made this so others can go to the morning :P)
