Alright everyone, as I said in the LFG chat, I'm creating a thread here just so we can spitball ideas as the RP progresses if needed. To reiterate, our story takes place on the smog world of Affavan. Out in wild space, it's left to crime lords and other gang elements to control the planet. Among those elements are the "The Five Houses", a conglomeration of families who have built and controlled the world's gladiatorial blood sport. There are other minor houses which have taken to the arena with their own fighters, but the most renown are The Five including house Halcorr, Relia, Nocturne, Aras and the strongest of the houses, house Vorst whose progenitors built the famed Hallow Colosseum. Each house is ruled by a Dominus, who employs several Lanistas to help manage the house's warriors.
Year round the colosseum hosts many events to entertain and distract the mostly subservient denizens of the Affavan. Now we begin the annual series of games known as the King's Gauntlet, an event that changes each year, but ultimately weeds out the weaker warriors, and in turn houses, from the strong until finally only a single champion is left standing. Volunteers are allowed to enter for a grand sum of credits should they emerge victorious, but must follow the same rules as the houses' gladiators. Each and every Gladiator is equipped with a shock collar that simultaneously projects a personal energy shield, should the gladiator's Dominus or Lanista choose to spare a warrior from death they may activate the collar rendering the gladiator unconscious but projecting a shield around him, though this comes at a great cost to that warrior's house in both credits and reputation. This is just one potential out to avoid PC deaths but feel free to get creative.
The weapons and armor we have access to should be a little more conventional, but feel free to give it a creative Star Wars twist, just nothing too outlandish for a gladiatorial arena. All of that aside, you can create and control your own Lanistas, try to avoid NPCing Dominus' too much unless it's really needed. If you create your own house, you of course have control over their Dominus and all. The title will be set to (PM to join) but of course those who already showed interest can feel free to jump in. Any other questions, just lay them out here.
The Five House's Dominus' are as follows:
