[OOC] Morituri te Salutant: Arkreidian Gladiators

[Kho]

Hmm, interesting. I think I'll keep my eye on this for now, just doing a bit of exploring. Will make a CS if I can handle it ;)

Just some questions.
Do all characters begin in Lairea standing before Mr Pegleg? And are there possibilities for gladiators from different jurisdictions moving? Or fighting each other in some kind of international tournament?

Edit: I think I'll be joining if you would have me, you did say you'd like one more.
One more question though, can beastment be based on any animal? Or must it be either bull or hawk?

Edit II: Damn, the longer I work on my CS the more excited I get about this. I really hope you don't mind me joining, would love to flesh out a lore for beastmen and Treeminds in particular!

Edit III:


Edit IV:


Edit V:


Edit VI: I would assume that beastmen live closer to elves. It would be rather interesting if a cut-off group were living in the area I specify in the CS. Would make for interesting development for my story later...if I get there O.O

Edit VII: Accio!

[Kho]

CS now in the appropriate thread.

[Harbringer]

We would be happy to have you and more lore is always welcome. A bear is fine. Beastmen arent an organised civilisation. They live in pockets of territory scattered around Arkreides in the claimed lands of other races. Usually nomadic, they sometimes get dragged into the others' petty conflicts. The bulls are just the most populous and the hawks are interesting.

Now to answer the questions:

Yep, pegleg lanista man in organising his newest gladiators. You would do well to be prompt.

Gladiators can be bought and sold by lanistas to other lanistas or other slave owners. Think of them like commodities, as bad as that sounds.

Fights happen on a day to day basis and are organised by sponsors and private parties. It would not be atrange for us to travel to a particularly profitable arena.

Oh. And accepted by the way. I love the deep lore you've put into it.

[Kho]

Yeah, similar to Bedouins. They inhabit land which they consider 'theirs' but it is land claimed by organised nations.
I will work on Treemind lore in the next couple of days (more for my benefit and because am interested, if anyone else wants to jump in feel free!)

So, am I in? Would I be allowed to post?

Edit: Whoops, semi-ninja'd.

[Harbringer]

Be my guest. Will be interesting to see how much room he takez up in the cart.

[Kho]

x)) thank you! I shall get to it at once! *Goes looking for this mystery cart*

Edit: Found it! Hehe, nice bit of comedy already forming in my head xP

[Harbringer]

Don't you dare break the cart. Or eat the horses. Or maul the orc/elves.

[Kho]

Well, number one would potentially have happened, and number two would have been pretty good! No worries, I'll keep everything/one intact. As much as I can >:)

[Kho]

If anyone feels my character is over-powered, please don't hesitate to say. I'm more than happy to have some kind of shrinking magic comedy happen (maybe during the fight? xD)
Otherwise, I promise I won't abuse his size too much! ^^

[Harbringer]

Is this kid a middle-aged, cynical veteran trapped in a 6 year old's body?

[Kho]

[Kho]

Haha, but in all seriousness, not sure as of yet. Will see what happens, but I know that his personality is due to the ritual leading to Garagogarag's capture and the mage's death. Haven't fleshed it out beyond that.

Edit: Sorry for breaking the scales. Had to break something xP

Edit II: Anyway, am off, have a long day ahead and spent all night on that post (future quality will be better, I promise!)

[Harbringer]

G'night. And don't worry, post was already of good quality. Also, I always imagined the Lanista here as a tough but fair man, but this portrayal is good too.

[bluejay_gl]

@Kho, Gar is awesome! I can't wait to have Kamnar interact with him! (:

[Harbringer]

I promise I won't abuse his size too much! ^^

@Kho

Oh...I will...ONWARD MY NOBLE STEED!

[Kho]

@bluejay_gl Thank you ^-^ can't wait to have Gar interact with Kamnar either. This will be awesome!

@Harbringer I don't think there's a contradiction between him being tough and fair and a bit of comic relief here and there. I think his caning, his commands and the fact that Gar obeys him without question already implies that he is tough and fair and has an air of authority. But will definitely show his more serious side if I do have cause to portray him in future posts, otherwise I'll leave him to you :)
HAHAHA x'D I guess all this work in the lanista's favor as it is. He has a pretty obedient huge bear who will be more than happy to fight much and bring in much riches xP

[Kho]

@Harbringer love the new summaries for the human cities. Just a question, are the cities north of Wolf's Neck, Pae-Zu and Lok'Urun, Orcish?

Edit: And Lok'Faire

[Harbringer]

Yep.

[Kho]

Are we just waiting on juju? Is he ok?

[The book of bad juju]

I'm here. I'm finalizing some details of the setting via PM with Harbinger, then i'll get a post up. Don't expect me to actually do anything, though.
