*flails as well, to get your attention* Marc's just agreed to a collab', where Asmara will be giving her five cent donation, and Erran's keen to join in. If you're willing to wait a few hours while I go nap deeply, I can clue you in on the starter :) That's not to say you're excluded if you choose not to. Actually, I should've asked everyone here after asking Marc'. Damn you, sleepybrain >.<

Actually the Second, I have no idea how this mass collab' would work. On one hand, you have an idea for an exchange between your dragon and another's, but on the other, you don't want to unintentionally bar the scene from outside participation. Would it help if these collab' ideas are circulated in the OOC? PM is more effective when drafting offers, I just think it might be helpful for others to know what's going on.
Welcome to the Guild, Platanus!

It is by good fortune that you've found your way here, as all of what you've described can be found within these walls, in one form or another. Big props to you for wanting to pursue these types of literary exercises to sharpen your language skills. It's hard to believe you're still 'practising' English because your Intro is among the best I've seen yet. Couldn't go past it! It's nice to see another realist here, too. The peeps here are friendly, open to random shoulder-taps if ever you find yourself in a tight spot or in need of advice. I'm confident you'll find great fellowship here, too. Hoping you obtain what it is you're looking for here, and that your adventures are most excellent :)
^Badass blonde! Will she be the other Doctore (Luminia)?

All of these fighters will be starting from the bottom. None of them are trained how to fight gladiators, and they will all have to forget everything that they know about fighting to be able to succeed... if anything, she will be one of the fastest to learn since she doesn't have to unlearn anything.

Hmm... that's a good way to put it.

When I first saw the OP, the cast made me think back to that brilliant movie, and how this roleplay is pretty much that alternate ending I wished for. Maximus becomes the new Proximo, inherits the Ludus and uses effigies of Commodus to train his Gladiators and Gladiatrices.
^Did I just call you 'SInglemeister'? Haha, I'm sorry.

Thanks D! Looking at the bio's submitted so far, it's clear that mine's going to be starting from the absolute bottom, lol. All a part of the fun.


Name: Nairi

Age: 20

Preferred Gladiator Form: Thraex

Bio:

Born in captivity to an unwilling mother and an unknown father, she was no different from the many ‘high-maintenance mistakes’ running around at the villa, or so the matronly attendants thought. When her words came, they were as strong as the legs that carried her not nine months from leaving the womb. Rather than remark at the girl’s growth and fine form, those around her made sure she never forgot about the filth in her blood and the foreign taint that attributed to her temper. It was often said that her spirit was meant for a different body, the way she played and fought with the local boys. As she blossomed into her adolescence, her trade value became increasingly apparent, however, she was too unruly and was shipped off to the barbaric West to be sold into slavery there.

For years she was to be her broker’s bane, never straying from the selling block for more than a handful of hours. She refused to bow at the feet of a Dominus, spat at the thought of tending to a Domina, and reacted violently to any attempts to prime her for the line of work she looked more suited for. It became such a regular occurrence that the broker could almost predict when her escorts would lament their foul luck and return for their coin. Perhaps the only touch of fortune was that she healed quickly from whatever beatings her disobedience earned. Although, when her reputation became more commonly known, no amount of trade potential could save her from the pit once her market value plummeted. To regain what little coin he could, and to spite the problematic wench, the broker sold her at the lowest price to a newly established ludus. A death sentence would have been swift and kind.
SInglemeister, I quite liked reading along with your character.
Trashbabies and wet dreams and pianists in the mist and hysteria. A normal day in the OOC. That situation in the Ukraine is seriously ugly, though.

By the divines, Cairo', there are tears of happy. Thought those gems were lost with the Oldguild!

That fucking song < "Hold the line" by Toto whilst pulling Immelmanns to shake off the glorified boy scouts.

Want: 'Which Character Are You?' for this roleplay.
Soulserenity20 said Hey guys, so, if i seem absent this week, I apologize but my grandmother just passed away today and my dad needs my help with funeral arrangements and I have a shitload of homework on top of doctors appointments and the usual single mom college student thing. So. Yeah.

Oh Soul... I am so sorry. There isn't a great deal I can offer aside from my heartfelt condolences and well wishes towards you and your family. Please focus your efforts on home, we'll surely miss you, and as you can see, we're all sending our love with complete understanding, so you can be sure that this world of ours will remain open for when you are ready. You are a strong and selfless young woman, but as much as I hope for that same courage to see you through, I do hope you take care to look after yourself as much as you do everyone around you <3 <this is probably incoherent because I am not reading what I write because feelings. Take care, busy lady!!

Erran' - I am such a durrrr, PM'ing you a small start to what will come after Yenna's response to Cai :)
This is lovely, I shall post you a bio' before long :)
Training wheels and stuff to read and magic! :D

Busy week, but I'll try and have my girls do something at the table before we move on. If anyone's open for a collab' that'll probably be more of Cairene talking and poking and prodding and nonsense, just call our mailbox.
Glorious IC post! *Mighty Morphin' pose time* This justifies my recent time-splurge on Assassin's Creed 3.

That assrim around Australia is the Great Barrier Reef once the shark graveyard on the west, and the open-cut mining run-off from the centre, become so vast it triggers a freak mutation of its biomass. NZ is the emerald in that crown of syringe needles.
