Pollice Verso

"Do not resist, accept your defeat, resistance will be dealt with with severe
prejudice and annihilation."

They descended from the sky in monoliths of epic proportions, with weapons
and technology of a race purely focused on the idea of war. With ideals of
diplomacy and peace suppressed, they focus only on conquest and acquisition of
power. A society built around subjugating and defeating others must have the
mentality and power to do it. Their empire has grown to span countless planets
and solar systems, each planet's population is enslaved and forced to work for
better status. Others of different skillsets are taken. Seeing those they defeat
as weak barbarians, they treat them as little less than animals, those who do not
obey them, are against them and are crushed and wiped out in the name and
glory of the state.
Through millennia of warfare and battle it is said they have forgotten who they
once were, their flag details their long abandoned home system and once stood
for morals of justice and liberty, now it symbolizes fear and conflict. They are the
conquerors, the oppressors, they are the Humani, masters of the Earth
Empire
. "For War, For Glory, For the Council, For Earth."


Quondam hi cornicines et municipalis
harenae
perpetui comites notaeque per oppida
buccae
munera nunc edunt et, uerso pollice uulgus
cum iubet, occidunt populariter


These men once were horn-blowers, who went the round of every provincial
show,
and whose puffed-out cheeks were known in every village;
to-day they hold shows of their own, and win applause by slaying
whomsoever the mob with a turn of the thumb bids them slay ~ Juvenal


You have been taken,your race defeated and subjugated by the Humani,captured in the midst of a crime, or labeled an enemy of the council, it doesn’t matter, your fate is in the hands of the most ruthless race in the galaxy. You sit in the back of a prison transport ship shackled to the floor by energy cuffs amidst rows of fellow prisoners, they give you a good jolt if you get too fidgety so you decide not to move much. You hear the whispers, the rumors, the chatter of the others around you, there have been talks of the ship being headed towards Munera. You know the place, the largest slave trading world in the outer systems, home to some of the galaxy's most gruesome gladiator games, a form of entertainment unique to the Earth Empire. You have a clear idea of the fate the Humani are giving you and you are pretty sure you don't like it.
You and the rest of the prisoners are told to get up and are herded like animals onto a surface transport ship. For a brief moment, you catch a glimpse through a window of Munera. A planet of lush green jungles and vast swirling deserts, it would appear beautiful if the place wasn't your prison. When the ship lands, the doors open and you squint as the natural light pours into the holding cell, as your eyes adjust you see before you a large run-down arena. This is Venationes, a small but fairly popular Gladiator arena, and it is your new home.
Welcome to the OOC of Pollice Verso!
Pollice Verso is a painting by Jean-Leon Gerome created in 1872. The name means "With a turned thumb". The turned thumb was an iconic part of gladiator games in the Roman Empire. If you lost a fight and the audience gave a turned thumb, you were done (in the "get killed" sense). This RP is about a group of criminals or POW’s captured by the Earth Empire, who are sent to Munera, a planet near the edge of the Earth Empire's territory, to participate in bloodbaths for the entertainment of the spectators. This story will be open-ended and we can make it go in the direction we want it to, within reason of course

Kinny is not gonna like Acentia.... Like... at all. This is gonna be interesting. :)


Oh he's going to love the snake lady.


Cool beans. I'll have something of substance sometime tomorrow for you guys. If you have any questions shoot me a PM or post it here and I'll try my best to answer them ('-')/
Alright, thanks, I understand what you mean. Too many people gets a bit crazy and hard to manage ^^'
Name: Ki-Hyun Kim
Nickname: "Kinny" is what everyone calls him and introduces himself as to non-Koreans
Age: 16
Birthday: 2/7/1998
Gender: Male
Relationship status: Single
Year Level: 2

Physical Appearance

Ties his long hair back into a pony tail for physical activity, but more than usual he lets it have its way
Eye colour: Dark-brown
Hair colour: Dark-brown
Skin colour: Light tan, but still has a paler complexion
Build of body: Thin and slim, but maintains muscularity and athleticism

Personality
Likes: Kinny is a big fan of taking things slow and enjoying life around him. He enjoys nature in its splendor and loves spending time camping or exploring in it.
Fears: Snakes, he has an unexplainable fear of them.
Personal goals: Other than personal physical and mental improvement, he really has no goals. Right now he's going with the flow and just letting life take him on his way; taking a chance and seeing where he'll end up.
Personality: Most of the time, he is laid back and easygoing, always easy to talk to, but when he focuses on training or anything else, his mind goes blank and he drowns out most everything else in the midst of his concentration.

Relationships
Father: ex-Military, discharged from duty due to heart disease (suspected cause is Daemon related as it was not genetic and no common symptoms could be found with any known diseases). He had a flimsy, easygoing attitude just like Kinny till the day of his death after his heart gave out. He spent his life teaching everything he knew to his son. His death is probably the most tragic event in Kinny's backstory
Mother: A stern, hardworking woman who raised Kinny by herself for the few years. She tried her best to steer him in the right direction, though a little bit frustrated by how much like his father he is, she knows he means well.

Background
Bio:
Ever since he was a kid, Kinny took after his father and had always been laid-back without worry. He often went on camping trips deep in the wilderness with his dad where he made lifelong memories and learned important skills as well as other things from him. He grew up with ease and happy as well.

One day his father came back from a tour with news that he only had short time left to live. The doctors identified his ailment as a mysterious heart illness that was undeniably fatal. Any more information was not available since his father refused to speak about how this has happened. His father often worked along with hunters, so Kinny deduced that something Daemon related had caused him to become like this. After his father died, Kinny was not filled with anger or a lust for vengeance, he was sad, but avenging his father wouldn't make him feel any better. Still, something called out to him and he applied for the school.

Daemon - General Information

Physical Appearance


Name: Go
Species: Dokkaebi
Gender: Male
Class: C
Powers: Very high physical abilities and expert martial arts abilities. Possesses the ability to make himself invisible. He is an excellent tracker and stalker, easily finding even the faintest of traces of a trail
Question: Is it possible for a Daemon to rise in rank? Or are they leashed to their original rank?
I'll check out the OOC, sounds neato.
Have you ever wanted to be enslaved? Be an alien? Forced to fight to the death for others enjoyment on a dirty rock of a planet? Made to band together with a bunch of misfits to survive in this hostile situation? Well, boy, do I have a good one for you.

I wrote a RP awhile ago, not sure whether it was on the Oldguild or not, but it was a long time ago. The RP flopped, probably because I made the OOC really long with me writing down every thought I had in it, which ended up in a large jumbled mess of too much information. That combined with the fact nobody wanted to join (;_;) was why it died. With Guardians of the Galaxy out, I'm hoping interest in an RP starring alien characters might have more success. If the basic idea sounds interesting please let me know, I'm looking for 4 or 5 people maybe more. If not...it's ok t('-'t)

Is this still open? I noticed on the interest check you said 3-4 people and that many said they were interested so I wouldn't want to make an app before I knew I had a chance of getting in.


Also curious, I thoroughly enjoyed Psycho - Pass, and an RP that is a lot like it definitely piques my interest. If there is no room, I understand completely ^^
