Coliseum of the End

[Priest of Deception]

Small orbs materialize out of thin air and float just above the ground. From within them a various multitude of beings begin to take shape and appear before being pushed out, some landing gracefully, others crumpling on the ground. As the beings look around them they see they are in a massive structure with no roof. Roughly oval in shape but immense overall. It reminds them all vaguely of a coliseum. Suddenly a booming voice rang out across the area, filling every square inch with the sound.

"Greetings Contestants, and welcome to My Coliseum!" The voice reverberated everywhere, deep and thunderous. The owner of the voice soon came into view. Walking up a set of steps was a mysterious figure just outside of the lights reach. Roughly human in size and shape he slowly ascended the stairs before reaching the top and walking around to the front of the platform, in front of a large throne. He was covered in what looked like blackened armor-like skin criss-crossed and covered with what looked like glowing white veins. His face was also covered in this so that nothing could be seen except to glowing white slits that must have been his eyes.

"Again I welcome you. You may be wondering why you are here. Well, I have kidnapped you all, so to speak, from your own realities and existances and brought you all here to an existance that I myself have created. Yet still I haven't told you why. Well, then let me explain. I am Shirotama, a being the exceeds the comprehension of even your greatest of dieties. However, even I suffer from boredom, thus why I brought you all here. You are here to fight for me. You are all my gladiators, I am your Caesar. You will fight as much as you can as often as you can. However, refuse my wishes and you will suffer the consequences. Not death, no... You will cease to ever have existed. Every change and effect you've had on existance and reality will be wiped away and rewritten as if you had never been there. So I suggest you fight."

And with that he took a step back and seated himself in his throne, which then began to levitate above the platform as he surveyed all the gladiators below him.

 

[Priest of Deception]

A mysterious faceless, all white, phantom like being materializes in front of everyone. He spreads his arms wide before speaking.

"I come to you with the General Thread rules of this reality. Please obey that which is listed below..."

- Character must be approved and listed in the Library of Gladiators before you can begin role-playing with him

- Obey all Guild rules and Gaia ToS here

- Absolutely no out of character talking in here. If it is needed take it to PM or comments or whatever else you choose

- Shirotama (aka the Captain) is God here, what he says goes, which means yes, if he says your character is dead then it is dead, have faith in him and trust he has fair judgement

 

[Priest of Deception]

As the white figure dissipates a more solid figure steps up and a small platform rises beneath his feet, raising him up so that all can see him. He is swathed all in black, head to toe, so that nothing is showing.

"Greetings contestants. I am Haze, the personal assistant to Shirotama. I am here to explain and list the Coliseum Laws. You will abide by them. The Laws are as follows:

- Unless it is a Death Match no one dies here. That means killing blows will not kill someone and won't even necessarily knock them out depending on their will to keep going.

- In order to have a Death Match both parties must agree upon it.

- You are forbidden from refusing a fight.

- When a fight is to take place the fighters will be transported to one of the many pocket dimensions he has created. Each have a differenct environment in order to add spice to each fight.

- Due to Masters manipulation of the time-space continuation, one individual may have several fights going on at the same time without reprucussions.

- Each and every fighter will be fully healed of any and all fatigue and injuries after each fight except in the case of a Guantlet.

- A Guantlet is a fight against Shirotama's personal armies in which you will fight a near endless number of soldiers with out healing or rest between the fights. For each Guantlet that is pronounced the one who makes it the furthest will win a special prize.

- You are allowed to make allies and even summon them to help you in a fight if you so wish, just remember your opponent can do the same.

- You may not interfere with another persons fight in anyway unless summoned in to help.

- You may not attack someone outside of an official fight. You must first challenge them and be transported. No fighting is to be done within the dimension of the Coliseum.

- Breaking any of the above rules will result in garnering a mark of Dishonour. The mark will appear as a small Kanji mark on your right forearm. Earn 5 marks and you will be erased from existence.

- Disobedience of a direct order from Shirotama is grounds for an immediate erasure if he so chooses.

- Shirotama has the right to erase someone at anytime for no reason if he so chooses.


Lastly, Master would like me to remind you all to have fun and enjoy your fights as much as he knows he will enjoy watching them."

The figure bows as the platform lowers and as it fully submerges he turns and walks back into the shadows beneath the platform Shirotama is on.

 

[Priest of Deception]

Another figure approaches this time. He stops and leaps, sending himself high in the air where he begins to levitate in front of everyone.

"I am Iuzuka Shirotama, First Son of Shirotama. Besides myself there are six other children of Shirotama. Here in the Coliseum we are known as the 7 Deities. I am here to explain the special rules regarding us. They are as follows...

- You must officially lodge a challenge to Shirotama for the right to challenge one of the 7 Deities.

- You must fight them as they are listed in order of power.

- Every fight against a Shirotama is a fight to the death. Do not challenge one if you are not ready to accept death as a consequence of defeat.

- If by some miracle you manage to kill a Shirotama sibling you will take his place as one of the Deities. All the other below that spot will be ressurrected until they too are replaced.

Now, may your fights be numerous and prosperous... And perhaps, I will one day see one of you challenging me... Though I highly doubt that anyone of you cretins could reach me..."

And with that he dropped to his feet once more and dissappeared within the blink of an eye.

 

[Priest of Deception]

Once again Shirotama stands to address the Gladiators.

"Finally, I'd like to make one last announcement about a special rule in here. Anyone managing to pull off the impossible and defeat all 7 deities will be given a special reward. They will be given the oppurtunity to fight me in an all out, no ruled fight. Now comes the special rule. If by some odd twist you manage to find a way to kill a being such as myself or even defeat me, then you shall become the new owner of this existance. This entire existence, this reality and all the dimension attached to it. The powers needed to control and manipulate it, as well as everyone trapped within it will be handed to you, no questions asked. After that, you decide what becomes of this place. Now, see if any of you can surprise me with your power...."
