Babbling non-RP related explanation of Hyper's newest Open RP goes here.
---
A goblin relaxed back in his chair, flicking coins from a pouch in his lap onto a pile on the desk in front of him. He whistled nonchalantly, listening to the
clang
of the money as they met their mark, and admired the beauty of the coins as they glittered in the candlelight.
His game was interrupted by the door opposite of his desk flinging open, another goblin--- a messenger ---sped in, panting and gasping for breath. The goblin behind the desk was cut off of his beginning statement, quite quickly by the messenger.
"Gaxx, you got it! You got it! They're selling you the land for the arena!"
The small office nearly shook by the screaming cry of approval from Gaxx, who began throwing his golden coins about the room in a lavish fashion, "
Yes! Yes! Yes!
"
---
The labor crews worked slowly to get the arena ready, but Gaxx could care less. It would be finished in time for the first matches, and that was all that counted. He was standing on a balcony on the outside of the colosseum, looking out across the marshy, dark lands where the arena was situated.
"Are the teams almost here, Zani?" Gaxx turned to look at his secretary, the female goblin scratching away at a clipboard.
She looked up and nodded, "In at least a day's time."
Gaxx grinned wickedly, "Perfect..." he gazed out across the land again, "the Blackwing Arena is almost ready."
---
This is an arena roleplay, revolving around the opening of the newest battlefield--- the Blackwing Arena, owned by Gaxx Fuselighter ---in the back of Dustwallow Marsh.
Participants of the roleplay are allowed one team, composed of three fighters, at a time. Matches are not to the death, unless specifically made so in the rules due to other events or requests. If a character on a team dies because the participant does not want them on the team anymore, they may be replaced. Whole teams may be replaced as well, but only one team at a time.
All of the first teams to go to the arena are still on their way there, this is just to give me time to record them down in the arena ledger (otherwise known as the character list) and sort out any questions or anything in the Q&A.
I'll be making two reserves, one for the ledger, and one for match schedules!
---
Will you survive in the arena, will your strength prevail above your competion, or will you fall?
Or is your will to be free stronger, and can you escape?

Zani sat in her office, one hand opening a large book that had been given to her, the other fumbling to unravel a scroll. She looked between the two objects and scowled, reviewing the names of the arena teams enroute to their location.
She began furiously scribbling names, hoping that this job would over sooner than later.

Another goblin was standing in the entryway of the arena, setting up a large wooden board. He looked from side to side, and then picked up a large parchment next to him, and began attaching it to the wood, displaying the schedule of matches for the first season.

Mazani Starspire

Pathal Shadowbane
Backstory;
Razrula, Mia, and Pathal have always been friends. Razrula and Mazani met shortly after the Exodar crash, when the Draenei aided some Night Elves. In a journey to Stormwind, Razrula and Mazani met a young High Elf paladin, named Pathal. They were soon off in an effort to destroy Naxxramas, along with the multiple factions involved. In doing this, they realised how useful their talents are. They have a simple system, Mazani healing the allies, Razrula damaging them, and Pathal holding the attention. They have founded a new arena team, Crystal. Good luck. You'll need it.

Dalaran
Razrula grunted at the mage. He was trying to sell water to him.
"Go away" Mazani said at his side. She had some kind of Romantic interest in him. Oh well. The group continued towards the Underbelly.

Characters
:
Ashley Kingsworn
,
Alexxa Everwind
,
Nina Plainhoof
Location
: Dustwallow Marsh
Description
:
The three female fighters were not doing arenas on their own will. Three years ago a goblin female decided she wanted an all girl-arena team that could give her a boat-load of cash. She bargained, captured, lied, and swindled, but she managed to get three competent girls that could fight... even if they needed a little persuading to get started.
Ashley was at one time a noble girl, who ran away from her luxurious life, disguised as a boy to ward off the people hot on her trail, and trained as a paladin. It wasn't long before she was found out, and she ended up just vanishing under everybody's noses. The truth was that she had made a deal with a certain Zalia Sixswitch, and unknowingly had gotten herself into the life of a gladiator. She's loyal, brave, but often times stubborn, and refuses to take off her helmet.
Alexxa is a Quel'dorei battlemage, with a haunting arcane addiction. After one nasty scuffle over a few mana crystals, the high elf found herself locked up and tried for murder. Zalia had bribed the jailers, with a hefty sum of gold, to let her have the prisoner, and now Alexxa finds herself struggling to stay alive-- physically and mentally. She's headstrong and extremely impatient, snappy, and quick to give in for the chance at some mana...
Nina trained as a druid at a young age, loving to shift into different forms and live as an animal. One day she was captured by centaur during a pleasant walk. Before she was killed, the tauren child escaped, but found herself lost and unable to find her way home. Zalia came upon the girl after watching Nina survive for days on end, and offered her shelter and a place to go. The young druid is only about a foot or so taller than Ashley, and is incredibly curious and brings a happy emotion to the team.
Now, their manager has snapped up the offer to get some gold from the Blackwing Arena...
---
"It's humid in here." Ashley muttered, looking around at the caravan their wagon was a part of.
"Maybe you should take off your helmet." Alexxa snapped, and the paladin recoiled at the very mention of taking off her beloved dark-orange helmet.
Nina flicked her tail idly, lazily resting at the back of the wagon in her cat form, pawing at the curtains that gave them some privacy from the rest of the caravan.

Character:
Ayedin Frozenheart
Location: Dustwallow Marsh
Ayedin was once a powerful Paladin of the Silver Hand, named Ayedin Rye. However, he was murdered in the taking of Lordaeron for the scourge, and the curse of unlife was bestowed upon him by a necromancer. He became a powerful Death Knight, and was made a lieutenant of Darion Mograine. After the battle of Lights Hope Chapel, he was freed from the Lich Kings control. He vowed that he would not rest until the Lich King's body and been rent into a hundred pieces. However, after it had been done, he had little to do with his life. He protected Azeroth in the Cataclysm, but once the threats had been dealt with, he fell into a state of depression. Since then he joined an arena team, knowing that the pure unfiltered blood lust of battle would take his mind off things, so he created his team. Because of the motives of his team, he named it Escapism. He wields and axe, which he named Vengeance.
Mujholneer Thunderfist
Location: Dustwallow Marsh
Mujholneer is a dwarven mountain king, and only two things interest him. History of the dwarves... And glory. He takes both the path of the Avatar and of the Thane. After scouring the ruins of Ulduar, he decided it was time for blood drink and battle. For this he joined Escapsim.
Ayren Skychaser
Location: Duswallow Marsh
Ayren Skychaser is a Spirit Walker, and a Spirit Champion. He notices that Tauren culture is focusing more and more on the Eyes of the Earthmother, and forgetting about the Ancestors. He joined Escapism in their name, to channel their power, and preferably win. In this way he shall bring recognition to the ancestors.

Alexxa idly kicked at the team's gear, strewn out on the floor in lazy patterns. The three of them had quickly changed out of their battling gear, save for Ashley's helmet, into something that wouldn't cause them to sweat to death in the Marsh. The battlemage's polearm shifted position and accidentally poked Nina in the back of one of her thighs.
The cat growled and wheeled around, pushing the weapon back and hissing at Alexxa. The high elf held up her hands, "Sorry, accident."
Content with the response, Nina curled back up, and Ashley looked over at the druid, "Hey, are we slowing down any?" But the shake of the animal's head made the paladin cross her arms across her chest and grumble.

Ayedin stretched out his hand, glowing with a bluish rime, and pressed it into the fire. The flames licked around it, disappearing as they came to close. Eventually it hit the base, and the flames were gone. The logs, once smoldering and covered in the burning bright orange of heat, were covered in a layer of frost. The three loaded their saddlebags, and mounted up with a quick hop. Ram, Kodo, and skeletal Death Charger set off, trotting slowly across the path.

"Alright, team. Where to?" Razrula asked, a teleport crystal in his hand.
"Theramore?" Pathal suggested.
"Fine with me" Agreed Mazani. Razrula closed his eyes and started to mutter a teleportation spell.
"Desa kaw m'lat msata Jaina... Fajat macas Theramore!"

((ooc - heh, alright, I've got my three.))
Morgan La Fey
Marksman
/
EpicMarksman
Human, Stromgarde background
Morgan is a mercenary who sells his skills to the highest bidder. He is in his late 30's, with short blond hair and steel gray eyes. He isn't heavily muscled, being more whipcord thin, and is a skilled sharpshooter and arms man. His preferred weapons are a dwarvish long rife, and a pair of gnome repeater pistols. He has been hired to form a team with two others and win as much money as possible in the arena.
Molly 'Ka-Boom' Twinwrench
Steam Warrior
Gnome, Gnomeragon background
Molly, called Ka-boom due to her obsession with explosives and weapons, is a young gnome, only reaching adult age a few years ago. She has dark red hair usually tied up in a pony tail or buns on her head, with purple coloured eyes. Due to her stature, she trained with a retired steam warrior within her village, and crafted a mobile suit of armour, capable of a wide array of assault capabilities. She has joined the arena team partially for money, but also to gain respect to begin selling her experiments and weapons.
Silent One
Graven One
Unknown Race, Unknown background
No real name is known for this being; he merely goes by Silent One and is an acolyte of the Grave. He is tall, nearly seven feet in height, and is beginning to learn his skills. Chosen as the third member of the Arena team, his skills will be an asset in the coming fights.
"Isn't he done yet?" Molly asked, tinkering with one of the arm weapons of her battle suit as they waited on their ally to finish his initiation. "Calm yourself Miss Twinwrench, he'll finish when he's finished." Morgan muttered, his face hidden by his hat as he leaned against a grave marker near the freshly dug grave where the third member of their team was finishing his test.
"Told ya, call me Ka-boom or Molly mister, Miss Twinwrench is my ^&*!@ of a mother." Molly muttered back, closing up the arm and climbing into the suit, belting herself in and moving it around the graveyard. "Fine, and my name is Morgan." He answered, and looked up as the sun began to rise. "Come on, let's dig him up." He said, standing and moving towards the grave, which started to move.
They stood waiting as the cloaked and wrapped figure pushed himself out of the grave and shook his body, the dirt falling from him. "No need La Fay, as you can see, I'm already free." The voice of the figure was deep and hollow sounding and Morgan nodded, gathering up his gear. "Anything else you need here?" He asked, bored now that the ritual was finished.
"No, I have the bones ready, while we travel to the arena, I'll work on it then." Silent One answered, and the small group headed south of the Ogre graveyard towards where the arena was waiting.

Lilitha 'Lily' Sunscent
Race: Blood Elf
Class: Priestess
Lilitha is a wiry, relatively young blood elf tired of being called weak. Travelling the world to try and further her power, the novice priestess was captured by quilboar - but rescued by a greedy goblin named Humfrid Fizzleblow, who claimed ownership of the sin'dorei and currently uses her for entertainment, and profit of course. Lilitha has reddish-pink hair - worn in two curled tails, and the typical fel green glare of her kindred. She is a little under 5'4, and usually wears dark clothes, a black hood generally shrouding her pale face. She is strangely happy and hyperactive, despite her situation. The elf greatly enjoys contributing conversation, even if no one else is participating.
--
Renald Firebearer
Race: Human
Class: Warlock
Renald's parents were both mages, and he was immediately sent to Dalaran for teaching - but was lured by the power of dark magic in the aftermath of the ransack of Dalaran. He has brown hair which hangs down his face, and a neatly trimmed beard. He is thinner than most humans, due to his lack of physical prowess. He wears blue robes, and stands at roughly 6 feet tall. He is irritable and rather quiet. A sword hangs at his belt, and a grimoire in his hands. The warlock was tricked into working for the selfish Humfrid Fizzleblow, and must earn his freedom.
--
Romal Stonehoof
Race: Tauren
Class:
Techslayer
Romal's mate was slain in an attack against their village by the hasty venture co. Since that day, Romal has sworn to wipe technology from Kalimdor. Desperately seeking a way to obliterate the destructive power, the tauren joined Humfrid Fizzleblow's arena team - geared in full plate and charged armour - with the intent of destroying every piece of machinery. He has grey-white fur, two long and dark horns, a ring piercing on his snout and dark, shortish hair. He towers at 8'7, and weights approximately 685 lbs.

Location: Duskwallow Marsh
"Renold, put Syalanes away. She's making me awfully hungry!" the blood elf exclaimed, her locks bouncing as she followed the towering bull-like creature in front of her. The warlock grunted, and his succubus chuckled as she dissipated.
"Better?" he asked, clearly annoyed at the girl.
"Much, thanks for asking!" the sin'dorei exclaimed in return. "You know, I've never been here and I've heard all sorts of funny things about this place! This one time, apparently, an orc guy went to Mudsprocket and -" She was interrupted by the plated tauren, who's mechanical armour whirred.
"Give it a rest." He said sternly, using a wide finger to tinker with his gleaming chestpiece. Lily obliged, looking away and biting her lip.

"You're constant grumbling isn't helping the mood any." Alexxa said to Ashley. The paladin, in response, puffed out her chest and summoned upon the mightiest voice she could give.
"Well what do you want me to do!" She said, and the high elf held back the urge to grab her polearm and start a duel within the confinement of the wagon.
Nina, noticing the rising tension between her teammates, shifted out of cat form and went into the pockets of her robe, removing a small deck of cards. The three girls looked between each other, before the tauren finally announced what was on all of their minds, "Let's play!"
The druid passed the deck to Alexxa, who quickly shuffled it out by hand-- as neither of the other two trusted her to shuffle with arcane magics, just in case she cheated --and passed out the cards.

Theramore City
The team appeared in a blinding flash of blue arcane energy, stunning two nearby guards. Pathal, being the first one to snap into existence, was almost sliced to death by two half-blind warriors who almost mistook him for a Blood Elf.
"Sorry mate" The first one said, giving him a hand up.
"Thanks... I think." Pathal murmured, starting after his two companions, who were grinning at the gates.

Lily/Renold/Romal
Location: Dustwallow Marsh
"I say we stay here for the night," Renold said blankly, pointing to an empty, relatively dry patch of ground.
"Scared of the dark huh? Scaredy cat! Scaredy cat!" Lily grinned, jumping around the warlock, who clenched his fists in pure frustration.
"We're not all nocturnal, Miss Sunscent." Romal sighed, removing a buzzing piece of arm-plate.
"Well, yeah, but still..." the elf mumbled, shuffling her feet uncomfortably as she began blushing.
The warlock walked over towards the shadowy trees and grabbed some chunks of wood - piling it in the centre of the small enclave, before igniting the wood with a crackling green flame.
"Oooh, kinda creepy, eh?" the sin'dorei noted, staring at the spitting fire intently.
"Not really." Renold replied, looking in his satchel for his bed sheets.

"You are such a cheater!" Alexxa cried as Ashley threw down another round of cards and let out a 'woot!'
Nina examined the paladin's cards with a frown, "Why do you always win!" The tauren girl complained.
Ashley lifted up her remaining cards and looked over the group, "Because I'm amazing, that's why!" She grinned and cheered some more, before she began choking and fell back on one of the pillows in the wagon. Ashley reached for a water skin and began drinking it down from underneath her helm.
"We're stopping." Nina said and looked up, walking over to the curtains and opening them up. The caravan had stopped, and Zalia was busy getting her troop out and pitching tents, "Does anybody know where we are?"
Alexxa got next to the druid and looked about, "... about half way there, I think we passed the remains of North Point a while ago..."
"We should probably get our wagon set up and organize our stuff." Ashley said, and the three set to work.

The team arrived at the arena complex. They stowed their mounts in the stables, and walked over to the office a sign nearby pointed out, telling them it's for introductory purposes. The three walked in, and Ayedin spoke to the Goblin seated at the desk in front of them. "Greetings, I am Ayedin Frozenheart, captain of Escapism. I trust you have been informed of our coming? I would like to inquire where we shall be lodged." Mujholneer then piped in with a "An' where t'e meed be kept!" Ayedin scowled at him. Mujholneer cried, "What? Ye only complain 'cause ye can't 'ave any yerself!" Then burst into a fit of hearty laughter.

Morgan La Fey/Molly 'Ka-Boom' Twinwrench/The Silent One
Dustwallow Marsh
"So, you figured out a name for this little madness?" Ka-Boom asked, looking down at La Fey from the top of her suit, the machine making low hisses as it walked along. Silent strode along behind them, his eyes focused on the bone-scythe he was creating and merely listening with half attention. The human looked at her from under the brim of his hat and shrugged. "How about Kick Ass?" He asked, and she chuckled at that. "Probably not.." She trailed off as he suddenly had one of his pistols in his hand and fired, a small growl sounding from behind her.
She looked over her shoulder and saw a dead human wearing black leather armour lying there, a hole directly through the center of his forehead. "That wasn't smart." She muttered, picking up the body and quickly stripping it of any valuables then passed it over to Silent who nodded as he quickly settled in to disembowel and tear it apart to get at the bones.
Morgan sighed, and leaned against a tree, checking the gun while they waited on the Graven one.
