Damnit. Lol.
Interested.
The Sci-Fi gladiator thing would be fun-- especially if it were the start of a Spartacus-style revolt.
Rereading my notes- actually some pretty good ideas worth salvaging.
@Jiatsu HoshidoMaybe if you clean the thread starter up a little bit? Put the summary at the top instead of dumping all your Lore on players from the get go.
@tsukune built a really awesome thread on BBcoding and polishing up your posts.
[@LadyA] has some great stuff as well, but I think that's more for Character sheets. Good luck!

Sci-fi gladiators are the idea, yet I can't do squat in Arena RP.
I actually wanted to do this a while ago. Sort of a round by round thing. Never worked out all the details but I got quite a bit down.
Sorry for copy/paste I can't get the link to show up properly.
EDIT: It's based on a roleplay @Gutshot brainstormed but never got off the ground.
A work in progress.
#0011-AO
(anomalous object)
On August 29th, 1944 #0011-AO began to move West at approximately 18 knots. The object increased speed at a rate of [Classified]. The USS Constitution was ordered to pursue the object, but soon lost contact with #0011-AO. On September 1st, the object was reported to have appeared in the American Mid-West at coordinates [Classified]. The object has remained at this location since September 1st, and was the reason for the construction of site-11.
Initial Research conducted with #0011-AO was exploratory in nature. Data collected during tests #1-85 have been compiled in Supplementary Document 211*. These tests determined some very basic data about #0011, size and fluctuation and certain quantitative properties.
Tests #81-90 were conducted by Dr. Peter Knowles between January-March, 1945. These tests were designed to record information related to direct contact and interaction with the object.
Theories on the Nature of #0011-AO
1) #0011-AO is a weapon developed by the Special Weapons and Tactics Division of the Kriegsmarine. It is possible that the Germans developed anti-matter weaponry similar to [Classified], for use in the North Atlantic Theater of Operations during World War 2.
2) #0011-AO is a portal to an alternate dimension.
3) #0011-AO is a naturally occurring phenomena across space-time.

#0011-AO
(anomalous object)
Void Sphere
The Void Sphere located in Vault 47, Castle Rock Complex
An anomalous sphere with an approximate stable diameter of 10m-12m. Fluctuations in surface area have been observed with the largest increase being <4m. The object, for all purposes appears to be devoid of any light, mass, or observable surface qualities. The sphere was first discovered in August, 1944, hovering some 500m above the North Atlantic Sea.
Initial Contact
On August 23,1944 the Destroyer USS Constitution assigned to convoy escort H-1-32 made contact with a German U-Boat (U-5881). At approximately 04:30:14 the U-Boat disengaged and fled North-North-East into the Norwegian Sea. The USS Constitution pursued the vessel and managed to damage the U-Boat to an unknown extent. At about 11:00:01 the U-Boat abruptly stopped and the Captains Log confirms the vessel began to sink. No lifeboats were deployed. At 11:00:42 the USS Constitution halted search operations for survivors of U-5881. At 12:00:00 the anomalous object appeared on the starboard side of the vessel without any precipitating events. See photographic record C-12-A

@CoyoteLovelyI really like this, from the name to the recurring character archetype. I could see Kassandra having many interactions with the Archive over a few plots. I have some recommendations I will send your way when I get home. I wonder what happened to those four agents the Archive sent? Might be a kernel of a story beginning .
Last Days
Dr. Simon Pierce
Director ; Minerva Archive
It was the emptiness he felt the most. With the drastic cuts in funding for the Archive, Director Pierce found himself alone for days, strolling the sterile white hallways of Annex C. He had found some minor amusement in the recreational facilities, a part of Castle Rock Complex he had rarely visited during his 27-year tenure at the facility, he had eaten in cafeterias he had never even entered before. Mostly he wandered Annex C-the oldest part of the facility where he had first been assigned decades ago. He had not been to his office for nearly a week, instead sleeping in empty personnel quarters when he felt tired. Days could slip by without checking your watch down here. Mostly he wandered the halls.
He passed a research lab, the glass wall fogged up and dirty. A grey halogen light flickered behind the thick glass and went dark. Simon could ask Mr. Gray to change the light, tidy up the place but the sanitation engineer had become sullen and grumpy since the funding was cut.
Pierce walked on, clipboard in hand making notes about what parts of the facility would need to be destroyed, what could be salvaged. Pierce stopped at an imposing elevator door. In the shiny metal reflection he noticed graying blonde hair, wrinkled features distorted by the reflection. He sighed. The Main Archive entrance. He could pop down to see what the Senior Archivist, Milo Yanez was up too, decided against it. He had never been much for small talk anyhow, and with his beloved archive coming to an end, he was sure to be in a rare mood. Director Pierce continued down the hall.
For thirty years he had watched this place grow, accumulate knowledge and specimens that would drive average citizens insane, and make Einstein suck his thumb like a babe. Pierce shuddered at the thought of some of the things he had seen enter (and exit) that elevator door. But now it was all coming to a close. Pierce wished he could say he had seen it coming, but it was unthinkable that the Department of Defense no longer had a use for all of this-
"What? All of this what? Danger? Possibility."
Director Pierce decided to go with possibility.
