Storyline: The year is 3056 and earth is in utter chaos. Countries no longer existed after the great revolution, but now the earth is ruled by the dictatorship of the tyrant Julius. Civil was has broken out in several parts around the earth but most are simply crushed by the iron fist of the families. Still some rebels exist, mostly hidden, waiting for a chance to strike against the dictators and stir freedom. As for the rest, well poverty has struck the world at every inch, side from the few fortunate enough to be born into the family of Julius. He is the only left wealthy man. But that is all because of the game…
Sitting in the pub, Colossus, men of all shapes and sizes come right after watching a brutal act. As the holographic television fades away the cheer and mourn of men is easily heard. They have just finished watching the game, a brutal sport involving two men. The game puts the two men against each other, giving each one a weapon of their choice, side from any projectiles, and puts them an enclosed arena. The game allows two men to enter, but only one may exit. Marcus Jules was once a historian, a normal person with a normal job, but he came up with the idea of the game after looking into roman gladiators. The game spread fast, it was a hit. People loved the intensity of a life or death situation, but mostly they liked the gambling on the winner. The game was such a success nobody paid any attention to all the other sports and they just became, obsolete. With no sports to contend to, Jules brutal sport became known sonly as the game. Jules became a very wealthy man and eventually changed his name to Julius. Over many years to come the game was a huge hit. And with the contestants’ not lasting more than three games, it left the odds in betting excellent. Even though the game was a huge hit, gladiators where hard to find, people would rather watch the games and bet on them, than participate in them. Due to a lack of volunteers, Julius started using convicts in his games that was the birth of the twenty-win rule. The twenty win rule states, if a gladiator wins twenty matches he is considered a free man. To this day no gladiator has won over six. But the convicts in the earlier days didn’t put on as good of a show; most of them dead beats in for petty crimes. The odd game that hosted a murderer posed a fine show, but they never lasted for more than three fights. Now the new convicts fight for freedom, they are stronger, smarter, braver, and more popular. This brought about a new age of gladiators, the present day of gladiators. Since the gladiators were such a good show Julius disallowed killing, knocking the opponent out was good enough, and lossing a fight added one more win you had to have in order to become free (aka. if u lost one fight you had to win 21 fights instead of 20.) this allowed gladiators to last but sometimes a rare occasion occured when a gladiator didnt make it
Current setting-- everyone starts withing the pub Colossus where a fight breaks out and everyone gets arrested and thrown into jail.
Character-- You start off as a gladiator, teams will be assembled in rp and they will be ever changing for the crowds pleasement.

My character:
Name: Taris Swualback
Gladiator nickname: Dead-eye
Age: 34
Gender: Twi-liek errr i mean male
Physical Appearance: Standing at a solid 6 foot average size muscle for a gladiator. But has very broad shoulders assisting him in holding his bow
Weapons/Armor: Two 14' swords incases of melee combat, but relies heavily on this compound bow in which he made himself
Attributes: Marksmanship, Agility, Intelligence, Strength
Skills: Fletching
Background: Growing up on the outside of the cities taught Taris how to fight. Bandits appeared almost daily looking for food from Taris's family farm. Taris spent most of his time using them as target practice for rifle. The times he wasnt shooting men full or gunpower Taris enjoyed wrestling with his older brothers who where much bigger than Taris himself. Taris had to rely sonly on his reflexes to survive total slaughter, not to mention he was naturaly smarter than his brothers. But the time came when Taris family could no longer offerd to run the farm and they had to move into the city leaving everything behind. Living in the city wasnt so bad, the fact that death waited around every corner did not even phase Taris, he was tough. He soon fought his way into a factory job along with his brothers. It didn't take long for this factory to fall apart as well. It literaly fell apart. Due to poor upkeep the factory collasped killing hundreds of men, including Taris's brothers. Taris coming a cat hair away from losing his own life stood shocked. Wondered how things could get so bad that even factory owners couldnt offerd to hold up thier factories. The answer easlily came to Taris, Julius had all the money. Angry and planning action agaist the tyrannt Taris went to the pub Colossus to cool off.
