Gladiator RPG.
Play the life of a historical or fictional gladiator. Rise the ranks and become famous or fight your way to freedom.
Types of gladiators: (Yes, there were different types of gladiators. Also, i recommend you look up pictures of the gladiators I mention.)
Samnites was a Roman gladiator who fought with equipment styled on that of a warrior from Samnium: a short sword (gladius), a rectangular shield (scutum), a greave (ocrea), and a helmet. These guys would disspear from the arena as time went on.
Arbelas wielded a dagger in his right hand and a crescent-shaped blade on his left arm. These gladiators were not only agile but brutal as well. They wore a helmet, chain, or scale mail covering their torso to the knees.
The cestus gladiator was a fist-fighter or boxer who wore the cestus, a cross between a boxing glove and a heavy-duty type of knuckleduster, but otherwise had no armour.
The dimachaerus is lightly armed and equipped with two matching swords, both either a gladius (Roman short sword), acinaces (curved short sword), or sica. Leather leg wrappings and a galea with visor.
Murmillo gladiators were heavily armored, carrying a large oblong shield (scutum) and wearing a helmet with a distinctive high crest and broad brim. They were also armed with a gladius, which was a short sword. (Basically a samnite.)
Retiarius These agile gladiators defended themselves with a trident, a small dagger, and a weighted net to ensnare their bulkier opponents. Almost naked, retiarii wore only a loincloth, an arm guard (manica), a shoulder guard, and went without a helmet. (Lose your net and you're fucked lmao)
Secutor gladiators were Protected by heavy armor, the most easily recognizable feature of a Secutor's appearance is his smooth, round helmet. Shaped to prevent getting ensnared in a net, the helmet featured two small holes for the eyes. Your armed with a short sword and a scutum.
Thraex gladiators had short sword (sica) visored helmet short rectangular shield, and wore an arm-protector and long shin protectors.
The Hoplomachus fought with a long spear as well as a short sword or dagger; he wore a visored helmet with crest and long greaves over both legs to protect them since he carried only a small shield,
There's more but you can find those yourself. You can also choose to fight animals or be a Eques. You can also choose to fight as a blinded or crippled gladiator.
(The bot is made for you to play as a gladiator in the Roman Empire. Idk how it'll react if you want to play in a fantasy world)
