    Why change the past when you can own this day?
    ( Now open. We need more people that can write well and other people not afraid to have their character die or people who just want cameos. I'm trying to simulate what it was like in an arena where people come and die day by day. )


    With the rising tensions between the Thalmor and the Empire, Cyrodiil need a way to get it's denizen's minds off of the inevitable war. The answer; the arena. It was always a welcomed place, but now it was needed more than ever. Prisoners, champions, and arena hopefuls come from each province with the wishes of freedom, wealth, and fame. So the deathly theater began. Your friend could be your end, their end could be you, where the tide of battle can turn in a heartbeat. Lust, blood,pride, and greed will line the grounds. This is a place where prisoners and openly walk in the markets just as long as they behave and get back when they are told to, or get hunted down and executed. The innocent and guilty mix and mingle.

    This is a place where all levels of fighting are welcome. No weapon,level of experience, spell,sex, or race is turned down. Blood is blood, no matter what color, skin, or sex. A chance of glory,riches, and freedom are enough. Maybe all three can be achieved? Few of the fighters have the option to go around freely.Who will you meet? Will you gain your freedom? Or is it fame, or riches? Or will you simply become another soul doomed to your gods? Welcome to the arena!

    Simus

    An Excellent Site Member
    Name: Simus Psyrakon
    Race: Imperial
    Gender: Male
    Age: early fifties (Approximately 52)
    Class: Spellsword

    Looks: 5' 7" Caucasian with an average build. His body is covered in scars but in excellent shape considering its age. He has shoulder length straight silver hair and a warm smile on his face. His left eye is blind and he has four large scars running from the top of the eye to the bottom of his left cheek. The scars were given to him by a particularly nasty high elf wielding a particularly nasty lightning-enchanted claw during the Great War.



    Personality: Simus has all the grace and refinement that would be expected from an Imperial and as such is a persuasive speaker. He's a kind and generous man who deftly mixes the energy of youth and the experience of age. Service in the Legion during the Great War, as well as decades of adventuring have let Simus experience a great many things and he is eager to teach others that seek guidance. Simus feels that the current Empire is not the one he fought for thirty years ago: It's become intolerant, corrupt, and it has allowed Cyrodiil, its heart and his home, to become ravaged with strife. He cannot in good conscience defend this Empire, and he sees the Stormcloaks as a force of renewal, rather than destruction. As such, he himself is an active Stormcloak and has a true desire to help them liberate Skyrim. He, Ulfric Stormcloak and Galmar Stone-fist are all served in the Legion together during the war and have managed to stay in touch over the years. Simus and General Tullius are also old legion friends, but they haven’t spoken much since Ulfric killed High King Torygg and they found each other on opposite sides. Simus is glad to be fighting alongside old friends again, but he’s leery of Ulfric’s motives, and believes the he can be a good High King only with proper guidance. However, Simus still believes Skyrim’s liberation from the Empire to be its salvation, not its damnation. One Skyrim is free, it can help to do away with the old empire and create a new one, just as Tiber Septem did during the second era.

    On the battlefield, Simus is fiercely protective of the soldiers under his command. This has earned him their absolute loyalty, and he feels like a father to many of the younger men and women under his command. He grieves for every imperial brother and sister he kills however, seeing it as wasted blood when the Thalmor are the real enemy. He knows that the Stormcloaks and the Legion are going to need each other, regardless of who wins this war, when the second Great War inevitably occurs.

    Combat Prefs: Simus has been interested in learning, enchanting and magic since he was a boy, and this interest blossomed into real talent during his teen years. When he joined the Legion, he learned how to smith and how to fight, finding out that the studies of a mage and the drills of a soldier required very similar discipline and focus. During the war, he found he could use both steel and magic to become a cunning and creative warrior. If engaging a ranged or hard to reach enemy, Simus will use lightning spells augmented with both hands to slay his enemies. In melee combat, he uses his two ebony swords Ashes and Cinders and The Chill of Death to quickly and violently slay enemies. His suit of Stormcloak Blue dragonplate armour, supported by magika-augmenting jewelry, keeps him protected. He forges and enchants all of his own equipment and repairs many of his soldiers' gear to keep his skills sharp. His skills in restoration magic are moderate at best, a far cry from those of a dedicated healer, but he's skilled enough to heal most common battlefield wounds and he practices whenever he can.

    Skills: One handed (Master), Destruction (Master), Heavy armor (Master) Smithing (Master), Enchanting (Master), restoration (apprentice), illusion (courage, light and volume spells only, apprentice), two handed (adept), speech (adept). All other skills he's just okay at. He's a terrible archer.

    Misc: Simus is a devout worshipper of Talos and he and his family took their worship underground when the Great War ended and Thalmor oppression in Cyrodiil began. His wife Amy was a Blade who had outlived her order and left it behind after she married Simus. One year before Alduin’s attack on Helgan he and his family were found out. They escaped their home in the Imperial City with the Thalmor hot on their heels. When they reached Bruma, the contact who was supposed to book passage for them to Skyrim sold them out to the city guards. Rather than be handed over to the elves by his own Imperial brothers, Simus decided to fight his way out. He had made many friends all over Cyrodill during his career as an adventurer and his service in the Legion, so a great many rose up to help him and his family escape. What followed was a bloody street battle that resulted in their escape, but not before the Thalmor caught up with them. On the slopes of the Jerrall Mountains, the Psyrakon family made its last stand. Simus’ wife sacrificed herself so that the rest of her family could cross the border, fighting with the might of a mother and the skill only the Blades could have. After seeing his mother ran through, Simus’s youngest son Titus flew into a rage and attacked the elves. Simus and his older son Stephen tried to hold him back while his two daughters, Alice and Cilla, tried in vain to save their mother, but it was too late. Simus ordered his children to run and hide and Titus, Stephen and Cilla did as their father commanded. Alice however stayed behind and fought beside him. She was not the warrior her father and brothers were, but she fought with courage and rage, buying them all time to escape. The Thalmor easily overtook her and her roars of rage turned to cries for mercy as they ran a sword through her left shoulder, leaving a nasty scar. Simus fought with the rage only a father could feel and killed the rest of their attackers, but he was too wounded to go in. He pleaded with Alice to run and, tears streaming down her face, she did as she was told. She made it several feet before falling face first into the snow.

    Alice was found by a dunmer priest of Mara the following morning and taken back to the Imperial City to rest. Simus, being covered in snow, was overlooked and woke up with only his wife’s frozen corpse. He himself was found by old comrades from the Legion, men who were under his command during the Great War. They were able to get him healthy enough to get back to the Imperial City and look for Alice. She was the only one not in Skyrim they told him and she was in danger while alone in the city. Simus spent a week looking for her and became desperate after no progress. He became belligerent with some guards and was thrown in jail to be executed, at the special request of the Thalmor Justiciar Ondolemar (Yes, he is the Thalmor Justiciar from Understone Keep in Markarth). Alice however was able to make some new friends in the city and they were able to break into Simus prison and set him free, foiling the Thalmor’s second attempt to kill them.

    The two were overjoyed to be united, and after staying with Alice’s new friends for a while they both headed to Skyrim to join the Stormcloaks, find their family and rebuild their lives as best they could.


    Name: Alice Psyrakon
    Race: Imperial
    Age: late teens (Approximately 18, though she's small and young-looking enough to pass for 15 or 16)
    Class: Arcane Ranger (Ranger skills augmented with illusion and destruction, rather than healing magic)
    Gender: Female

    Looks: 5', 0", pale, cream coloured skin and small but curvy breasts. She has shoulder length ebony hair (think Ysolda's hair but a dark black) and no scars, blemishes or age marks of any kind save for a scar on her right shoulder from a Thalmor sword. She almost always wears a smile and is usually clean and presentable.



    Equipment: A fire enchanted yew hunting bow (Mother’s Fire) passed down from her mother and steel arrows that she taught Alice to fletch herself. During the fletching, Alice is able to enchant the arrows to explode in a fireball spell upon contact. Not only is the target damaged by fire and the shock of the explosion, but is showered by splinters of burning wood and steel. The arrowhead itself is designed to explode inside the target, doing severe damage to it's innards. She knows and uses many other enchantments, but this is the most common one. Unfortunately, such arrows are very expensive and time consuming to make, so she doesn't use them very often. She also uses several poisons with her arrows. The poison depends on her target, but damage health and slow are her favorites.

    She also wields a shock enchanted imperial sword (Father’s Steel) forged by her father and an unenchanted steel dagger for utilitarian purposes.

    Alice wears a very special type of leather armour that her mother taught her to make. It's a form fitting white bodysuit that covers her entire body from her head down, minus her hands but including her feet. It's made from dyed leather and reinforced with frostbite spider silk, producing a light and very strong material: Strong on the order of steel chainmail and with a fraction of the weight. The suit opens in the front via a Dwemer invention called a zipper, a moonstone track starting at the groin and ending at the collar and is opened and closed by a fastener, ending at the collar when closed. The soles of the armor's feet are made of dotted rubber, another Dwemer invention created form an alchemy recipe and provide good traction when walking. The armor is also enchanted with Ebonyflesh and Fortify Stamina for additional protection. (In summary, think leather footy pajamas.)

    Over this armour, Alice wears a pair of brown leather knee high boots that also close with a zipper, have rubber soles and are enchanted with Fortify Carry Weight and Fortify Stamina. She has a pair of matching leather gloves with the same enchantments and a blue dress with short sleeves and a mid thigh length skirt. The dress has three brass buttons and a fine collar that goes below her throat that she keeps buttoned up. The dress has the same enchantments as her armour, but is more for style than actual protection. Alice also wears a simple silver band on her right ring finger and a pair of small silver earrings with a tiny sapphire in each. Both have Fortify Magika. (The entire outfit together makes her look something like Link in the Zora Tunic from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.) She also has several pairs of one piece footy pajamas that are of similar style to her leather armor but are made of soft, light mixture of tundra cotton and wool (the closest Elder Scrolls equivalent of fleece). This makes them warm and very comfortable and the resizing and self-cleaning enchantments add to this. Part of the self-cleaning enchantment is a weak heat spell to keep them warm when not in use. Alice and her sister Cilla treasure these pajamas and are able to swap pairs whenever they choose thanks to the resize enchantments. Alice's favorite pair is white with black skulls and black ribbed cuffs and collar. She always has at least this pair when travelling.


    Personality: Alice is extremely friendly and outgoing. Her small size and endearing nature make her easy to love and adore. She loves to meet new people, talk to them and get to know them. As a result, she's a friend to most people she meets and leaves a good impression on almost everyone. She also has excellent manners and is very good at addressing those in power. She's very intelligent and has mixed illusion magic with archery and tracking to become a cunning hunter and archer. She's good at moving quietly through both urban and wooded environments and could be a very good thief if she wanted to. However, she sees such behavior as not only grossly dishonorable but extremely unladylike.
    She's a devout worshipper of both Talos and Mara, her father teaching her the honourable ways of the former and her mother the kind hearted ways of the latter. She seeks to act honourably in all aspects of life but also has a desire to share her love with everyone.

    Alice also has a stranger side to her in the form of a very special gift. Alice is able to see into the future. She was born with this power and has learned how to use it to See things she’s interested in, but she’s never fully understood it or where it came from. She and her family have determined that it’s a gift from either Akatosh or Azura but they’re not sure which one. Indeed, both have helped Alice at different points in her life, both through dreams and direct communion, so she pays homage to both. She’s certainly more comfortable accepting guidance from the Great Dragon than the Daedric Prince of Dusk and Dawn, but is willing to accept either in times of need.

    For Alice to see anything more than a passing glimpse takes great concentration on her part and reaching far into the mists of the future requires the assistance of others. Even with proper discipline, the future is always changing so there’s no guarantee that what she sees is the absolute truth, or that she’ll understand it. It could be nonsense, it could be a convincing lie, it could be true but unhelpful or it could be the key to saving the world. It all depends on luck and the will of the gods.

    Relavent Backstory: Alice's father's covert worship of Talos was discovered by the Aldmeri Dominon one year before Helgan, as well as her mother's status as a former Blade. Thalmor agents chased her and her entire family out of their home in the Imperial City and burned it down. The fled to Bruma so some of her father's friends could take them to Skyrim, but they were betrayed and captured. Rather than die at the gallows, they all broke out and fought out of the city and into the Jerrall Mountains where more Thalmor agents awaited them. Alice's mother died defending her children, her father was incapacitated and she was separated from her little sister and two brothers as they either fought or fled. Alice suffered grievous wounds herself when she stayed and fought after her father told her to run. She was quickly overwhelmed by the Thalmor but her father killed all of her attackers in an attempt to save her. Afterwards, he begged her to run and this time, with her eyes spilling over with tears, she did so. She hobbled a few feet before succumbing to her wounds and passing out. She was rescued the next day, but her father was separated. She was brought back to the Imperial City and he came back to look for her but was captured during the search. After several days of planning with some new friends she had made, Alice broke Simus out and the two were reunited. After resting for a time, they headed north to Skyrim to join the Stormcloaks, find the rest of their family and rebuild their lives as best they could.

    Likes: Magic, reading, meeting people, hunting in the forests outside the Imperial City, wandering the forest in the city's garden district, shade, sleep, warm blankets, being held, hugs, cloths, shopping for cloths, trying on new cloths, making cloths, fawning over cloths she doesn't have half the septims to buy but is sure she could make herself.

    Dislkes: Unkind people, dishonest people, being alone, bullying, raddishes, the Thalmor, violence, direct sunlight, being told she's short, dirty jokes, books written by Alessia Ottus, being told it's time to leave whatever store she’s shopping at.

    Most likely they will. They'll both be in the Arena. They'll either become brothers in arms or they'll kill each other. Funny. I've never actually RP'd with Ardin.
