IT Smells of corpses and rotting flesh. Your hands twist and you wince as rope too tight digs into hands too thin. There's a gag over your mouth as if you would yell out and expose something, but as you wiggle what would have been your tongue you realize, once again, that it's gone, that words are gone.
There are twelve other people in the room, each one's hands wrapped the same way and each one's mouth wrapped the same way and as the spotted rays of sunlight illuminate your staring contests with them you realize that everyone in the room shares one thing in common. You are all mute, you are all helpless, you are all avox.
There's a rustling and a banging as the too bright rays of sunlight pierce through eyes and eyelids, and even though you try and shield your eyes it only hurts more as the calloused, rough hands of a man grab you by the hair, twisting and pulling as you wince.
"Come on, worm. It's time for your show."
They dress you up like a Capitol doll, with thin metal protecting whatever parts of you you have left. And they give you a spear, which only feels more foreign as it rests in your hands. The cheers and jeers are what you hear first as you are, quite literally thrown into another world altogether. It's the screams you hear first, but it's the low, mumbling growl you hear second. And as a beast of nightmares charges at you from behind a thin metal cage, you only have one thought.
Survive.___________
There's a warehouse on the outskirts of the Capitol that looks much too abandoned for the amount of dyed and pampered Capitolites going in and out of it. And on the inside, truly, it is abandoned. There's paint peeling off the walls and the inside smells of rust and decay. It is abandoned, except for a small spot in the far left corner of the building. There stands an ex-peacekeeper who became starved for money, with his arms crossed and sunglasses hiding his eyes. However, his facade lightens as soon as a blue, gold rimmed ticket is flashed in front of his eyes, and from there he leads you down down down.
And what greets your eyes is a whole new world. There's Capitolites everywhere, all screaming at one single target. A man is in the center, in an colosseum-esque pit that houses both him and a mutt that's far too horrific to be in an abandoned warehouse in the middle of the night.
There's one quick slash and the man falls, his body torn to shreds by fangs too long and a mouth too large.
It is fascinating, exhilarating, and it's captivating.
Welcome, my dear customer, to the Arena of Worms.___________
TL;DRThis plot focuses on a large group of avoxes that has been forced (whether by their masters or kidnapped) to live a life of a warrior. However, it doesn't bring fames or riches. It only brings death and despair. Through contacts including ex-peacekeepers, rogue Capitol Scientists, and mutt tamers, an unknown company has set up the newest underground sensation: Avox gladiator fights.
I am TOTALLY open to nearly anything for this plot. Although I do want to fill out the avox characters first, I would absolutely adore anyone who willingly wants to offer their avoxes up foreternal damnationone hell of a time. Also, if any of you want to play the ex-peacekeepers/capitol scientists/ mutt tamers involved, you are totally welcome to.
As for right now, dice rolls will NOT be used in fighting threads. Instead, the roleplayer will get to decide whether they want their character to win or lose, or even die. But please please PLEASE make it realistic, simply having the fighting skills to take down a monstrous mutt is not realistic, like at all. Make it realistic, make it fun, pretend like you're character is fighting for the life!oh wait. Characters are below, I will add more if anyone actually shows interest (please do omfg please dear god). I want you guys to decide the names, as I want you to have free reign with that and make it however personal/connected you want. Go nuts!___________
CharactersNot named yet because I haven't decided lmaoh (Pogue)
He's a self-proclaimed top dog without a tongue, who's mentality hardly changes, whether in the arena or out of the arena. He's stone cold, and takes battles in the arena not as a life or death situation, but as a chance to show himself. And there's people who treat him like dirt, but to himself he's top line soil. He pretends not to care, but what people think is a list of his kills scratched onto the walls behind his mattress, is really a list of the fallen.
Exram (Rave)
She's gifted, is what her master would tell her. And when she's not in the arena is when her true talents really show. The walls have been cleaned and her drawings washed away plenty of times, but whether it's because she's stubborn, stupid, or far too smart she keeps on doing it. And everyone wonders who has been supplying her the red paint she uses on the walls, but what they don't realize is that, in the Arena of Worms, blood is very easy to get your hands on.
Will.I.Am. (Nyte)
His lips move as if words could still escape from his mouth. And even though there's no tongue left to let words roll off his tongue his poetic spirit (the same thing that got him avoxed in the first place) still lives on. He lost his pointer finger after trying to calm down a mutt that was still a little too alive for his own good. Many wonder how he's still alive, but all he's wondering is how he's going to be heard again.
Ajax (Python)
No one knows the pain of not being understood but him. And in a world where words can't help you, weird signs made of fingers don't help much. But he's a kindled flame, who uses the arena as a place to release his frustrations rather than a place to fear. He's a quick learner and an even quicker killer, moving up the system of this hellhole one step at a time. (Name here, the leader played by me) considers him a threat, but that won't stop him. And it has people wondering, will anything stop him?
Aries (Rook)
He was assigned, at first, the unlucky duty of both fighting and cleaning the arena after each day. And it was here where he became a human treasure piece, a museum for the fallen. He keeps scraps, hairs, even bones stashed around the living quarters, and even though people wonder why, he simply smiles and nods. After all, someone's going to want them when all of their items becomes memorabilia.
Greer (Stare)
She made Arena history after slicing the throat open of a mutt with it's own claw, basking in the blood of the ruined creature while bombarded with cheers. She's metal, hardened to the point of true ruthlessness, somehow convincing her masters to paint her with red tribal markings before each fight. A whirlwind of blood, knives, and limbs being tossed into the crowd, she's a dangerous fighter, both in and out of the arena.
Guns (Open)
He ran a drug smuggling ring in the heart of District Six, and lost his tongue after losing one too many battles with Peacekeepers. He's an example, a wrong letter that should be erased but wasn't completely. And he hates it, he despises this whole thing. And the only reason he hasn't given himself up already is simply because he's the only fighter to ever meet with the head of the company directly. And it was there that deals were struck, deals where he could escape this place alive and, if he fought well, unharmed. There was even talks of his tongue being reattached illegally. He's wary, though, because the only person that can con a thief is another thief.
Lennon (Lalia)
She's the queen of Hell, and the only avox to gather a genuine fanbase besides {Knives}. But it's not her bloodthirstiness that got her to be remembered, it's her beauty. She's the Aphrodite of the arena, a stunning woman that can struggle through a fight. But down below she is hated. Many avoxes believe she's treated better because of her beauty, that she's struck deals with the heads of all of this to be kept alive through weak mutts. Whether she actually did that is unclear, but just remember, not all of those bruises and gashes are from the mutts. Avoxes are just as monstrous as the creatures they kill.
Lorene (Loony)
The dot in the corner of you eye, the face you glance over without noticing, the very thing you need to survive. Air is it all. She is nothing, and everything. A convicted murderess, Lorene has been in the arena a long time; the scars that map her body testify to that. But she is not noticed, not pleasing to the eye like Rose, or a brutal fighter like Knives. Instead, Lorene fights her wars in the background, a warm-up for the big finales. She does her work quietly, she mourns, she fights, and she lives in the background of the Arena. She survives knowing that her death would mean nothing to those who watch and those who fight. She is Air, the thing everyone needs, but the one thing no one appreciates. She is the glue during the times of anguish, often getting the backs of those who need help, always giving and never taking. She introduces the new warriors to their lives, and helps them through their first fights, but disappears when they are settled in. Lorene has accepted her role as secondary character, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want the glory.Pre-existing
