Some gladiators were volunteers who risked their legal and social standing and their lives by appearing in the arena. Most were despised as slaves, schooled under harsh conditions, socially marginalized, and segregated even in death.<br/><br/>Irrespective of their origin, gladiators offered audiences an example of Rome's martial ethics and, in fighting or dying well, they could inspire admiration and popular acclaim. They were celebrated in high and low art, and their value as entertainers was commemorated in precious and commonplace objects throughout the Roman world.<br/><br/>Men would sell themselves into slavery, hoping to work their way free from debt. Captured soldiers of opposing land would be sold on the market, condemned to the arena. Convicts and criminals would be sentenced to pay for their crimes with their lives. Their origin was not guaranteed, but what was, was that majority would never see freedom again.<br/><br/>The Ludus, a school of training for Gladiators.<br/><br/>Ran and trained by the rigid Lanista, there strengths were tested every day. They're subjected to rigorous training, fed on a high-energy diet, and given expert medical attention. Forced to take an oath before the shrine of the Gods, they swear their lives to the arena.<br/><br/>AND THIS WILL BE THE SETTING FOR OUR STORY<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 24pt;">.</span><br/><br/>Right. Well I am looking to set up a role play set in Ancient Rome, focussing around the trials and troubles of the slaves and Gladiators that worked and lived within a Ludus. There will be violence, drama and of course total lack of freedom for our characters. And of course there will be sex. I will be opening up a few female positions (as slaves, or you can create a second character as a whore that frequents the Ludus) and of course also same sex encounters happened. I will bend history a little, and have the slaves used as entertainment for the Gladiators. Romance can happen, or you can keep it just fucking.<br/><br/>- Please post at least two paragraphs per post/character.<br/>- Know something (not everything) about Ancient Rome.<br/>- Have a dirty mind, as dirty sex will happen.<br/>- Nothing anime, emo or scene please.<br/>- PM or ask any questions you have.<br/>- Need Gladiators<br/>- Make your first post in this thread your completed character sheet please guys, I will link them to your name in this post and then everyone can refer back to them if and when they are needed.<br/>- No pre-organising relationships, sex, favourites with other players through PMs please, makes it boring for everyone else.<br/>- No bullying, belittling or being a smart arse. There is no way this can be kept 100% accurate, so if someone slips up a little.<br/><br/></span><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Fill this out please</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Positive sexual</strong> <span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><em>What is OK sexual wise with your character.

But for the most part, it will be physical in a non sexual way. Lashings, beatings, forced to carry heavy objects throughout the night or in the hard sun. Fighting in the pits, forced fasting etc. Mostly it will be flogging. But like I said above, if you do not want your character punished then they have to behave themselves. Remember guys, slaves are nothing aside from an investment in a way, but they are not regarded well.<br/></div></div><br/>Blonde - Female slave, personal slave to the Domina.<br/>GaggedLouise - Female slave<br/>whtbitch4u2own - Female slave<br/><br/>Primarch - Lanista<br/><br/>azzmeister89 - Male Gladiator<br/>Caitlin - Male Gladiator<br/>Zaer Darkwail - Male Gladiator<br/>The Last Standing - Male Gladiator<br/><br/>[/font]</div>
