Our story so far...
Conquer, conquer, conquer. To the king of Vitreus, all a map is is a reminder of what he has taken by force. His conquest extends from sea to shining sea and he is nowhere near done as magic still lives on in hidden parts of his land, a threat that he seeks to destroy. But as any great man eventually does, he begins to grow paranoid, of what is happening in lands too far from his throne of glass, of what his own trusted men of nobility are plotting. Outlawing magic and enslaving is not enough anymore. He needs someone; a certain someone to drench their hands in blood for his sake; a certain someone to be his weapon.
A competition he calls forth, a spectacle sponsored by men of high status all throughout the capital. They each come forth with a ruthless champion of their own, bidding money and honor on the lives of these warriors as they battle to the death to be the king’s assassin, to be a lapdog to be spoiled with riches until the day they can fight no more.
Days turn into weeks which turn into months and the numbers of competitors dwindle down to a mere six ‘champions’ and their sponsors. The king takes personal interest in these finalists. They are all brought into the quartz castle in the capital of Ithiel, the glass city, to be trained under the same hands that train the royal guard. Together they must reside, honing their skills until the tests resume cutting their numbers down even further. But in this time together, this time so close to the king, will hearts change about the competition? Or will warriors continue to spill blood for the sake of getting a piece of the royal life?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The competition began with 96 warriors of all different locations within Vitreus' conquered lands. These people are everyone from the common working folk that may be skilled to jailed criminals released for the event, but for the sake of the King's pride he deems them warriors and champions instead of murderers. Not all of the smaller competitions that resulted in these six being chosen were created equal. While they all contained mutual tests of skill (to eliminate people who weren't well rounded enough) and battles to the death, you may decide what combination of this your character's particular location put them through. So if your particular character came from a rougher location and you'd like to make it so that it was week after week of fight to the death battles, you can.
These smaller preliminary rounds were held at the same time and over the course of fourth months. Eliminations were weekly and all held in the military buildings to hide the competition from the general public who the King wanted to keep in the dark. What the contestants did on the other six days of the week was up to them, but no matter what they were always followed around by guards who needed to make sure they didn't let anything about the competition slip.
All of the characters are given equal opportunity to succeed in this environment, but not all characters are created equal~ Your character's competition now may be more than they have had to deal with in their particular locations.
The king is looking for an assassin. Someone to spy, steal and kill in his name if necessary. This is why he opened his competition to a large amount of people to try and find the most well rounded "warrior" to be his tool.

Hello all~
This RP is greatly based off a book series I have recently read and really loved.
These are the following positions and please note that each contestant has a sponsor, they don’t need to be a large part of the story if you don’t want to play two characters are once, but they must at least have a name, status and vague description.
King of Vitreus:
Contestant 1:
Contestant 2:
Contestant 3:
Contestant 4:
Contestant 5:
Contestant 6:
I am leaving the position of King open in case anyone is interested in that in particular, however there are a few characteristics he has that must be maintained such as his paranoia, ruthlessness, hatred of magic/magical creatures. If no one wants to take this role I will volunteer to do it.
