Sign Up Black Arena: The Lantern of Un-Light

[Guest Midnight Rush]

The Gladiators of Rome were merely celebrity murderers who were paid (although enslaved) to fight and kill their counterparts. Oftentimes free-men would enter the arena seeking money, women, and fame. Few, however succeeded in obtaining any of these things. Those who did were the legends of the Arena.

Deep in the realm of Hell (For our story we'll imagine a sort of black shaded earth), The Lords of Evil watched and enjoyed Rome's legendary sport. They decided they would build their own Colloseum and invite the beings of Earth, Hell, and Heaven to do battle once a year and then Crown and Champion. After 400 years of construction the BLACK ARENA was finished. Seating up to three hundred million spectators, it was a monstrous monstrosity (HAHAHA!).

The Champion of each year recieves a mighty weapon that was once used by a Legendary Fighter. Those who lose, burn in the Lake of Fire, being tormented by their desires for all eternity. The prize this year is great. The stakes are set, and the players flocking to try their hand. Who will win? Whose technique will reign supreme?

ONLY TIME WILL TELL!!!!

Story focus: Each character is a gladiator in the tournament, and the RPG will chronicle the saga of the fighers: their fights, victories, eventual loss, and the parties between games! It is a world of intrigue and sabotauge, each player trying to gain advantage over another.

Rules of the Arena Game itself:

1. All fights are to the death

2. Their can be no ties

3. No holds barred

4. Pull no punches

5. Each fight must last at least 2 posts from each participant

6. You and the other fighter must decide on a winner or I (as the GM) will


Story line so far:

For the last 200 years the Feral Omen has held off all comers, and the other prospective fighters are getting pissed that he always wins. Many Angels, Demons, and Humans are gearing up to try and unseat the Persistent Champion. The Lords of Evil and Paragons of Virtue all are prepared to throw their swords in the ring, for this years prize is the Eye of Hell, Eye of Heaven, and Eye of Earth, the trio of mighty swords that hold the power of their respective realms, are the best in the history of the black arena.


How this works:

Parties/Planning/Match Revealing

More Fights

More Parties/Planning/Midway Awards

Ect...

After each round of fights is a short period of intrigue when the fighters try to kill one another out of the ring. There are no rules other than common sense ones, so no one says anything.

Name: Daniel Ilentae
Arena Name: Legacy
Age: 1096
Sex: male
Appearance: 5'11'' with a tough, slightly short build, dark green eyes, and blonde-brown hair. His skin is very light, but seems natural. He wears a white shirt that goes up to his fore-arm, a rough brown vest that fits tight over hid body, white baggy pants, boots that come up to the top of his shin, and similar gloves that come nearly to his elbow, with the first and middle fingers exposed. For armor, he wears a light, versatile breast plate of 'scale mail' (identical metal shards laid over one another), front leg guards, and handless guantlets that cover the top of his fore-arm.
Race: half-breed (human ald angel)

Style: Oriental/midevil style : quick and versatile, yet brutal.
Weapons: Naginata (oriental halberd) and two katanas
Abilities: Quick and tactical, and can perform near-gravity defying manuevers.
Special Attack: Ancestral Call - Daniel calls on the energies of his angelic lineage to assist him.
Magic powers: Applies magic to his weapons to make them deadlier.

Bio: Daniels mother was a human, living in ancient Japan, and his father was an angel who had a habit of falling in love with mortals. When he was born, he was obviously 'special' but tried not to let it show. He almost instantly mastered anything he attempted, and became a legand among his local area. Saddly, he never knew his angelic father, who probably ran off to find another pretty human woman. After dying, he found Heaven a bit boring, and decided he'd rather end his life with a bang, leading to entering the tournament.
Personality: Usualy kind and generous due to his upbringing, and knows the values of helping others... this doesn't mean he doesn't know how to have a good time. He loves jokes and complex humor, and likes to fight for the sake of his family's legacy... hence his arena name.
Other: Can be a smart-*** if provoked... lol.[/COLOR][/FONT]
