Ancient Rome



Your character is now in Ancient Rome! Most famous city of the Ancient Western world. All roads lead there and now they're here too. Roll the RNG and find out what your character is up to! Or don't and just pick your own, I don't care.

Options!
1. Colosseum Games: Gladiator matches! Fights to the death! Chariot races! Naval Battles! Wild animal fights! Are you there to watch and cheer on your favorite fighter? Or are you one of the attractions, fighting or racing for the crowd's approval?

2. Senate: Debate with your fellow Senators about the fate and laws of the Finest City in the World. Democracy in action! Okay not really. Or is there a dictator that needs a good stabbing? A conspiracy to concoct? Friends, Romans, Countrymen!

3. Party: After a long day of whatever it was you were doing, everyone likes a good party to relax, right? Bring on the slaves with the wine and food! Eat, drink and be merry! There might even be an orgy around here somewhere, and don't forget to visit the Vomitorium if you get full. (Or not. Ew.)

4. War: You fight for the Emperor, and the Emperor wants more lands added to the Empire! See foreign lands, meet interesting people! And then kill them and subjugate them under Roman rule. But hey, they're getting roads and civilization out of the deal so it's all good, right?

5. Roman Provinces: You live in one of the provinces, not in the city itself. Maybe you were conquered recently, or maybe you've gotten used to this whole Being Roman thing and you like having roads and aqueducts and all that around. And really, the taxes aren't so bad, right?

6. Slave Market: Out shopping for a new addition to your household? Or maybe you're about to go on the auction block, waiting for a Citizen to decide to purchase you.

7. Choose your own: Mix and match or come up with your own idea. You're a free citizen of the Roman Empire, I shouldn't have to do all the thinking for you.

Ezio Auditore // Assassin's Creed // OTA

[dominus]

[ endless possibilities! he could be a soldier in the midst of a campaign, a banker in rome, a vigneron in the provinces! maybe he's still an assassin, maybe he's hosting a party, or browsing the slave market. tl;dr i'm easy, come at me. ]

[genie_lady]

[ooc: Ezio finds bauble at market, accidentally ends up with exuberant genie? :)]

Q - Bond - m/m

[beforefirstcup]

01.
Q had been invited to watch the games. While he himself didn't support it, he was still was able to enjoy the place in the box that was reserved for the elite. It was covered and away from most of the din in the crowd, with their loud roars. He would rather be away with the scholars and study with the engineers. His host announced that they would be parading favorites for them to choose to decide to bet on.

03.
It had been a long week. Q had to be wrestled away from the deep bowels of his labs where he had been working away on newer and newer engineering feats to attend a party. His friends had tried to convince him with promises of slaves, wine, and food. When none of those seemed to tempt him, he was bodily hauled away and made to drink a few flagons of wine so that he would be relaxed enough upon arriving at the party. By the time they arrived, Q was shocked at how many people were already within the throes of pleasure with each other.

06 - Option A
A cat was well enough of a companion. But when Moneypenny insisted that Q had someone to help run his household, he begrudgingly made his way down to the slave market. Perhaps someone to just keep his home neat and have a dinner ready when he returned at the end of the day.

06 - Option B
Q swallowed thickly as he approached the auction block. At least he wasn't thrown into the gladiator ring for a gory death. Perhaps there would be someone to purchase him and set him back on a boat to Breton. Then he could go home and be done with this nightmare. So caught up in his mind was he, that Q nearly missed the call that he'd been sold. His head snapped up and looked at his new...he swallowed, his new master.

Marcus Agrippa || Rome

[seductionless]

((just another day ...))

Heeey it's my homie from Romie. .... sorry. Making stuff up as I go along here.

[smirkinbackground]

"Sometimes I wonder how you manage to stand there looking so serious for so long," Maecenas commented dryly, walking past Agrippa to drop himself in a chair as he studied the tablet in his hands "Tell me, do you prefer standing or do you simply think it makes you look more soldierly?"

It was a few moments before he looked up from the carved wax and asked the question that apparently hadn't occurred to him until after he'd managed to get his witticisms out "What are you doing here, anyway?"

Shiro | Voltron | OTA

[nochampion]

[ Most interested in either colosseum games, or having Shiro being an ex-gladiator for sale in the slave market. ]

[pidgen_holed]

[How about a tiny but fairly rich inventor Pidge who needs a big strong slave to carry things around for them? Or I also have a Keith for colosseum games, if you would rather!]

[ Kore isn't much of a fighter, but she's a body slave to an extremely rich man and later a runaway slave. Want to do a thing? ]

Nyx Ulric | Final Fantasy XV Kingsglaive

[sirnyxalot]

[Nyx would be a popular gladiator who's managed to fight for several years now against the odds. Whether he's there willingly or not is open. Can be easily shared with other prompts.]

[lightning_fists]

[ She was one of the best among them; a crowd favorite they had told her, and that proved to be reason enough in making Tifa one of their main attractions throughout the Empire. Because it wasn't often that the people had the opportunity to see a female Gladiator in action, especially one that had managed to last out even a good majority of the men during her tenure. A rare feat, indeed, in their profession (if this could even be considered a profession). But then, it was not often that a strong, young Spartan woman could be found outside of their city limits.

But Tifa had a cause and a purpose; a self-imposed mission of sorts.

There was a lost friend out there in the world that needed to be found. And she would take advantage of every means necessary to be reunited with him once more. If it meant debasing herself and becoming a spectacle for the entertainment of others, then so be it. Cloud was more important than all of that. ]

Cupid | Hercules: TLJ & Xena: WP | OTA

[productofloveandwar]

Derek Hale -- Teen Wolf -- OTA

[this_no_fit]

[Derek would probably be a gladiator, so either 01, 03 where he's entertainment at a party, or 06 where he's the one being bought.]

Hermes, Mercury, That Jerk. OTA.

[poecilometes]

((He'll likely be in human guise and keeping the godliness under wraps.))

[wholesail]

[1 or 3 do you think??]

Raiden / Mortal Kombat / OTA

[lightning_raiden]

[God of Thunder and Lightning? Yes.
Call him Zeus? He might take offense.
Hilarity and awkwardness? Go for it.]

why hello there

[itmeanstruth]

[Something tells me this might not be the thread for, 'so... this is Earthrealm?' What kind of cracktastic hilarity would you like? Those of foreign descent could be brought into the city as slaves. Until we made them think we're gods... Are there Roman snake gods? idek.]

Margo Hanson | The Magicians

[ibiza]

Laurent of Vere | Captive Prince | M/M

[princeofgold]

[He's from a pseudo-France, but really could be AU'd into ancient Rome very easily. A foreign emissary, or a Senator (or son of a late Senator). Could also be a very nasty slave. OTA for gen options.]

[themachinator]

[ This is a crazy long shot, but would you be at all interested in playing out Laurent in the 'nasty slave' option? The guy I've got here is very similar to Laurent's uncle (in the sense that he's a cunning, cut-throat, disgustingly vicious political manipulator, not all that... darker stuff) and I think it would be really interesting!

Happy to set up a scene if you're interested, and if you're not, I totally understand. ]
