The Ring Masters
​

Thor'ral Battleborn

Spoiler

A hill giant Ring Master, Thor'ral Battleborn was known as the "King in the Ring" in his prime. Once a gladiator himself, nomadic merchants of Daia'Thas had bought him out of the Ruby Colosseum. Feeling out of place as a guardsman for these merchants, he betrayed his masters and took up a band of mercenaries to lead around the Deserts of Surda. Eventually, Thor'ral was found by Daia'Thas troops and they offered him a deal in stead of trying to arrest him for his murder of his former masters. They gave him the position of Ring Master of the Ruby Colosseum in return for his loyalty to the empire. Now he lords over the Ruby Colosseum and ever gladiator under his supervision knows their limits under his reign... and if they don't...





Azaj Viletide

Azaj Viletide is of a race of sea-dwellers known as the "skathiss," serptine-humanoids that live in tribes in several parts of the sea throughout the world. Azaj was the High Priestess of the Viletide tribe, however she relinquished her position to take up the honor of Ring Master in the Sapphire Colosseum. The position was offered to her by the people of Itharia and as the Ring Master, she lords over her subjects with an iron fist, but has shown to treat the gladiators as more than just puppets for entertainment.





Leon Greywhisker

A ferren that was of the original clan that settled in the Emerald Colosseum before its renovation. Leon Greywhisker was a warrior of his clan before, known as the "Watchman." He is wise and patient and fair. He treats the gladiators with respect and helps train them through guidance and support rather than force and threats. The gladiators of the Emerald Colosseum love him and the audiences always look up to him for his values.

​

Name: Banswadi, the Scavenger


Race: Sand Troll


Gender: Male


Age: 37


Colosseum: The Ruby Colosseum

Description: Banswadi stands about seven feet and two inches tall. His gold toned body was hairless, save the red mane on his head. He was very muscular but, as a troll, slimmer than most of the other races in the coliseum. He spoke with an islander (Jamaican) accent and had two tusks, each about a foot in length, extending from his jowls. His eyes were a crystal, sharp red. Many scars covered his body as well. He also generally wears blue warpaint all over his body.


Weapon: Two curved daggers and generally a two-handed battle scythe.


Armor: He, as most trolls, does not wear boots. He wears only a wood-plated loin cloth, wood plated shoulder guards, and wood plated breast plate. Most notably, he wears a voodoo mask. It has traditional markings, but they are not enchanted as he would be executed if he did so.


Gear: He wears traditional beads on necklaces and bracelets that he has created himself.


Likes:

• Observing scenarios and events and gladiator matches
  
• Secrets & knowledge
  
• Magic
  
• Samar Irryad & Gragor Brutefist conflict

Weaknesses:

• Limited strength

• Cannot use his magic
  

Personality: Banswadi is a sly troll. He trusts only his own kin that are enslaved with him in the coliseum and not very many people trust him. Despite these trust issues, however, he is the only one with access to the most information about the outside the world. Rather than trading information for materials, he trades information with information from other gladiators. Banswadi does have a conscious, unlike most folk in the coliseum. If he sees a person is sick or severally wounded, he will do what he can to be a make-shift doctor since the Ring Master provides no care for the gladiators. If it's someone who he knows is a guilty soul, then he will most likely not give his services so freely. His followers are either other sand trolls or those he has helped in the past and owe him.

Notable NPCs
​

Age: 32


Colosseum: The Sapphire Colosseum

Spoiler

(The picture portrays a male character, she looks more or less the same, only with a more feminine physique.)

Description: Lekura is about five feet and ten inches tall, weighing around 160 pounds. Her scales were a bright blue while her fins were yellow fading out into a greenish blue. Her stature was what you would expect from a soldier. She is a soft speaker. Her beast is very protective and it in the presence of her beast that she feels safe to speak to strangers.


Weapon: Retractable blades, strapped to her arms. The blades fold back so the tips are just behind her knuckles, but high enough off to allow her hand mobility. She has one on each arm.

Gear: None.

• Her pet, Arkus
  
• Being in water
  
• Sea Giants
  
• Meditating
  

Dislikes:

• Leviakan (esp. Gar'kresh, the Dragon)
  
• Barbarism
  
• Her and Arkus's enslavment
  
• Dry sand
  
• Ice
  

Strengths:

• Fighting with Arkus
  
• Agile, fast, strong, and naturally armored
  
• Fighting underwater
  

Weaknesses:

• Cannot wear exterior armor
  
• Is more vulnerable when not fighting with Arkus
  
• Bull-headed
  

Personality: Lekura the Sea-Dancer was a very peaceful warrior-lady of her people before the arrival of the Daia'Thas. Many of the leviakan tribes joined the forces of Daia'Thas and brought many of the Dathyrians into enslavement. Many were used as laborers in leviakan dwellings, but others were used as instruments of entertainment for Daia'Thas and Itharian nobles. She was one of the slaves captured and turned into a gladiator. She was a solemn soul, secluding herself even away from her own people, until she was in the arena and she met the one who be her abyssal companion in Arkus. Arkus then turned her personality around and she became determined to fight the leviakan and free herself from enslavement and then the rest of her people.





Abyssal Companion: Arkus


Creature: Abyrcat

Description: A saber cat that has the ability to breathe underwater. Arkus can swim up to 50 miles an hour and he can run just as fast. Powerful legs allow him to leap and dash with great power. Standing at six feet tall (ground to top of head) and having a body that reaches ten feet. His translucent fins fold onto his body and stick to himself while he is not in the water. When in water, however, his fins are released from his flesh and allow him to better control his movements in the water. Two gill slits on his chest and four breathing holes on his shoulder blades allow him to breathe underwater excellently. Lekura sits just between his shoulders just before where his dorsal fin starts to rise from his back. His two feet fangs are sharp and them along with his lethal claws make him a grim adversary. He is bound to Lekura through unconventional means that have never been seen in her people's culture. She is the first Dathyrian to make this binding and the Ring Master has been having issues with the creatures becoming Dathyrian pets because of Lekura. Now, she is one of very few Dathyrians in the arena as she has been demanded to stay in the arena by the audiences as a contesting champion along with Arkus.

He craves the fear of his fellow gladiators and he bathes in the adoration from the audiences that come to watch him put poor souls to the slaughter. Those that are not afraid of him are who he despises most. It is those individuals he will look to make their death long and excruciating before splashing their blood over the audience.

Ever since, he has joined the new breed of elves that go by the "mud elves." His anger and hatred of the Daia'Thas is what drive him to survive in the Sapphire Colosseum. He despises humans for their moral weakness.
