Hi hi! Long time no see, this one is a bit more niche than my other entries. But I hope you’ll all enjoy it anyways!

The setting is an arena in a prison city where people and monsters are sentenced to fight to the death. Surrounding the Arena is a giant complex, with each cell tailor made to hold each of its inhabitants.

When sentenced to the Arena, fresh prisoners are trained and cowed day in and day out. Sparring sessions are held with other prisoners, and when a prisoner eventually acts up, pisses off a guard or is simply unlucky enough to be randomly selected, they’re tossed into an arena with a monster.

Monsters undergo a similar process, though the methods of taming and containing them obviously vary. They’re usually just chosen based on how much resources it would take to keep them alive, and often are simply forced to run a gauntlet of human fighters until they go down—unless they’re entertaining enough for the nobles to want to watch again another day.

Be a guard, an inmate, a monster, one of the sick noblemen who enjoy the bloodsport... whatever you want, as always! There are a few other roles I’ll be covering in the definition, so be sure to give it a once-over.

It’s intended to be some sort of vaguely Greco-Roman time period aesthetically, but it doesn’t factor in too too much if you want to change it.

Magic exists for monsters, but it’s not intended to exist inherently for humans. Instead, they use the parts of monsters for magical purposes. Break the mold if you wish though!

The intro message is meant to just be a sample of the vibe and grant an immediate opportunity to do something, but you can easily just ignore it and start somewhere else if need be.
