Something simple...

Reading over the starting details, an individual came to mind, and I may provide her as an entrant to this, I notice that you have one group ready for play testing, so I will submit this as a backup/if you require additional testing.

Half Orc (Yeah you read that right) Female
Name: Kia
Weapon: Light - Rapier
Armour: Light - Treated leather armour, but not very covering at the request of her 'sponsor', so as to provide visual appeal to the crowd with her toned physique and athletic build. Leaves the legs and arms uncovered, mostly torso protection only.

Being a daughter to a noble can result in a spoiled princess, but such a life was not in the weave for Kia. She fell through the cracks of the scandal, adultery and racism that bore her and ended up being disowned from what her noble blood might have granted her. However, in the end, she doesn't actually care about that.

Her sponsor took her in, and saw potential in her as a gladiator. After all, half orcs could be quite strong, it was almost a no-brainer. It took a while before Kia was ready to actually enter the arena, not even including the time it took for her to be old enough; she learned slowly, but what she learned she retained very well.

Kia's own desire was to prove that she was not just some brute, despite her race. She choose the rapier as her weapon, and trained diligently with it. Precision over power, though power was not lacking given her body's natural strength. It would be a gamble, but her sponsor went with it. Anything that made her stand out more, to counteract the racial barrier that might make her not as appealing to the crowd. They were quite keen on getting a return for their investment, after all.

In the end, their relationship wasn't actually that bad. They wanted fortune, she wanted pride and glory. It went hand in hand.

Though neither would ever admit that one had become the surrogate parent that the other needed.

cool

Reralae, I think that your submission completes a second group of four gladiators.

*fades in*

Didn't think we'd get another group going so fast. Will throw a character together and post it shortly.

*evaporates*

Here we are

Race: Dwarf
Name: Rotu Ironspike
Weapon: Long - Halberd
Armor: Heavy - Half Plate, polished to shine, always.
Special: Steadfast - Increase Soak by 5 hp


A dwarf who stubbornly refuses to tell of his origins, preferring it to remain known only by himself and his owner, thank you very much. Chases the path of Prestige as a hero of the arena. Prefers to finish incapacitated enemies with the spike of his halberd, when possible. The games may be bad business, but its still just business.


Str: 0
Sta: 1
Pre: 0
Agl: -1

Please let me know if I've made a mistake or broken a rule.

So we have another group

Okay. Two Half-orcs, a dwarf and a elf bought and paid for by Severn Zuck, Guildmaster of the Professional Graffiti Writers and White Washer's guild. Remember, if you need a rumour spread - call Zuck. You need your name erased - call Zuck.

I will post the characters into the game thread.

2nd group of Gladiators

I am ready to start the second group. Shall I run a second game thread or have them in the same one?

Well

I think it would be okay in the same thread - just for formatting sake we might want to make sure that we include Zuck or Glut accordingly in our subject lines.

It's not too different from say in one of the games I first played in on the Inn where the party could be split up, and if that was the case then Kaelyn (GM) would have posts for '[Character]'s group' for each group. It also helped that I think there was never more than three groups at once.

Agreed...

...as long as we made sure to keep track of who belongs where, I don't think that running both groups in the same thread would be bad.


Buuuut, that's just my opinion... I could be wrong.

heh

At first blush, I'd lean towards distinct threads... but then, as long as the subject is clear, keeping them in one thread would probably promote us reading one another's games, help us get a better handle on the mechanics, etc.

.

I thought 2 threads but if we start or posts with arena 1 or arena 2 it could be ready in one thread. Would also allow mixing groups later if the GM wants to do that.

I'd second two

I'd go with two game threads, maybe one Q/A thread.
