2011 London, England We have frozen your body and placed a microchip in your brain connected to a computer and sent you back in time to see what the brutality of the Roman Era was really like.
62 B.C. Thilothe, Graecia. You have arrived in the Roman Era, If my estimates are right then you should be about 1.3 KM from the Coliseum in Rome. If you are there, The Coliseum should be in view, if you cant see the coliseum, You either have extremely bad eyesight or you are at another location nowhere near Rome.
You look around and find a sign ‘Thilothe’. You start to walk around when you are ambushed from behind and knocked unconscious...
You wake up several hours in a box of some sort and feel like your being moved from two places... If you are being transported, Where will you end up?
Eventually you come to a standstill and you are offloaded from the cart and lined up in a marketplace with people looking at all the slaves on offer.
You are then bought by a rich man who takes you away to the coliseum after loading you into his cart.
Owners can own the coliseum and organize the fights.(2 of these)
Trainers teach the gladiators of the essential skills.(4 of these)
Lords can buy and wager bets on the Gladiators.(4 of these)
Gladiators:
Retarius Retarii wear light armour because their fighting style depends on speed and agility. They use a Net, Triden and a Dagger to trap and kill opponents.
Secutor The Secutor is more heavily armoured than the Retari but they have limited movement. They use a Sword and a Curved shield and they had Extra protection on the Left leg and Right forearm(Shield Arm).
Bestiarius Bestiarii fight wild animals, such as Tigers, Wolves and Lions. They wear light armour, a Visor helmet, A spear or knife, a whip and sometimes a cage.
Thraex Thraeces were armed with a small rectangular shield called a parmula and a very short sword with a slightly curved blade called a sica, intended to maim an opponent's unarmoured back. His other armour included armoured greaves, a protector for his sword arm and shoulder, a protective belt above a loin cloth, and a helmet with a side plume, visor and high crest.
Hoplomachus The hoplomachi would wear a bronze helmet, a manica on his right arm, loincloth, heavy padding on his legs, and a pair of high greaves reaching to mid-thigh. His weapons were the spear and a short sword. The small, round shield was as much a weapon as a sword or spear.
Murmillo Murmilli had a high crested helmet which, together with its broad rim, was shaped somewhat like a fish. They wore a loincloth, belt, very thick wrappings on the lower part of his left leg, a gaiter on his right leg, a linen arm guard to protect his right arm, and a curved rectangular shield and they also carried a gladius.
Cestus Cestii were boxers, the only protection they had was leather wrappings around their wrist and hand.
Rudiarii: Rudiarii were Gladiators who had won freedom but had chosen to stay in the colloseum as either a Gladiator or a Trainer.
Dimachaerii: Dimachaerii used two swords, one in each hand, A greave on the right and the left leg which was on the shin and another greave on both wrists, they also had a brassard-esque shoulder plating and a plumed visor helmet.
Rules: No ubering No godmodding Anyone who steals or lies will have to run the gauntlet
CS: Name: A.ge: Appearance: Role:
"There are no second chances for a Gladiator. Remember that well and you may live. Fail to, and you will surely die." |

Pelleneus was led to the sorting room with the other new slaves. They were called up one by one and put into the category of gladiator that they looked to suit best when it was eventually Pelleneus' turn, While he was walking up there, He tripped over and everyone laughed at him. "I'll prove them all wrong." "Dimachaerius!" The trainer ordered and Pelleneus lumbered over to the red door in which all Dimachaerii had to go through to get to their dormantries. |

When Pelleneus entered the room, He was sized up and given the armour that fitted to him best and was given his dual Gladiuses. He then went to meet his room-mate but he didn't have one and was on his own whenever he wasn't training.
Pelleneus went to the training room and watched intently as the trainers taught techniques to the gladiators and called them up one-by-one to see if they the technique right. |

I was brought into the sorting room. I watched a man fall, I didn't laugh just watched. When it was my turn I was brought up and by my figure and my strongly built legs he yelled "Retarius!" and I taken and sized.
An hour later I was in my cell when I was given my helmet. I looked at it for a while. I put it on my head and I knew I was never going to take the helmet off, only to eat. |

Gaius walked into the room and looked at the slaves he had brought.

Pelleneus piped to ask a question.
"Sir, Could you please explain what the Gauntlet is for those of us who have no idea of what it is?"
"Yes, Certainly. The Gauntlet is where everyone in the school lines with a wooden staff and the offender will have to run past the people with the staves whilst being hit with said staff, You must attempt to run the whole thing, Up, Round the last person and back again." |

| I was using my Trident and Net in the training area. Repeating the steps, Throw, Duck, Pull, Pivot, Lunge. I repeated this for well over an hour doing the same steps. I was still prefecting the steps after the training session was over and we were free to train some more or go back to our cells. I finally got it right. I put my Trident and Net away and decided to rest until feeding time. |

| I just fell asleep when my roommate woke me. "Hurry to the training room we have to meet there for our next training" He said. I grabbed my helmet, through it on and ran down to the training room. (Are we owned by the same person?) |

(Yup, Were owned by Gaius, who i shall control.)
Everyone was being branded and would shout in pain whilst being burned with the symbol of Gaius. It was my turn and as i was being branded, I steeled my nerve and didn't scream but i stumbled to the side out of view and was sick. |

| (Yes, You just come along and wager a bet on a gladiator that is going to fight and if they impress, then you have the option to buy them. Or you can just buy them without gambling on them.) |

I was directed to the branding area. My roommate was branded and screamed and fell over in pain. I pulled him up and took my turn. As the hot steel touched my flesh I didn't screamed but I slighly whimpered and kneeled in pain. After a minute I was holding my arm out of the way.
(My character will become more hardened as a nameless man should be :3 Right now he is just fast not too strong but not weak and doesn't talk much.) |
