"What's this?" one voice asked. This voice is a harsh, commanding baritone.
"New shipment of gladiators, sir," another voice answered. This one is quieter, higher-pitched, nervous. It probably belongs to someone young. The crate was pried open at the top ever so slightly, and I winced as the bright afternoon light glared into my eyes after the inky darkness of the crate. I heard the other prisoners groan with discontent as well. I caught a glimpse of a sharply angled but handsome face looking down upon us before the lid of the crate slammed shut once more and we were once again enveloped in blackness.
"Let them in," the authoritative voice ordered coldly. "Get them to the trainers immediately."
"Yes, sir," replied the young voice. I could hear the sound of bronze boots clacking against cobblestones, and it slowly receded. Then, I heard an order called out, and with the clattering of hooves against stones, we lurched forward once again.

"Welcome to the arena," a voice said. This one, too, was authoritative, but it was kinder than the voice from before. I opened my eyes slowly and leaned upward in the crate, awaking from my nap in the crate. I beheld a tall, muscular man with jet black hair cut unevenly short. He was clad in the garb of the Roman military; lorica segmentata, a war skirt, caligas, a scarlet focale, a crimson tunic, a black woolen sagum, a horsehair galea, and a balteus containing a stylized gladius. His face was marred by a deep, straight scar running from the cheek to just above the eye. He extended his right hand to me and I grasped it in mine. He gripped my hand firmly and hauled me to my feet. I stumbled at first, months of malnutrition and starvation as well as being jammed in a crate with several other people for days having severely atrophied my muscles, but the soldier caught me. I was able to sit down in a stooping position.
"My name's Cadmus," the soldier informed me. "And that's Octavia." He pointed across the vast, sand-floored room and I saw a tall, equally muscular woman in a white toga and caligas. She seemed to be pretty...but in a commanding way. "We're your trainers."
"Trainers? For what?" I asked in confusion. Cadmus shook his head.
"You don't know where you are, do you?" Octavia replied, walking up. I shook my head unsteadily.
"You're in the Arena," Cadmus informed me. "In Rome." I rubbed my gritty eyes. I did recall hearing one of the guards mention something about sending me to some arena.
"So...the Arena? In Rome? And why am I here?" I asked again.
"I think you know," Cadmus replied. "This Arena is used as a form of punishment for crimes against Rome. I don't care to know what crime you committed in particular, but I do know that in order to be here, in this arena, you have to have done something."
"A punishment?" I repeated. "So...it's like the gladiators' arena then, is it?"
"Not quite," Octavia answered. "This Arena is a little bit different."
"How so?" I asked.
"In the Gladiator's arena, the fights are fair," Cadmus answered, "and they're watched by a crowd of spectators for sport. This Arena is no sport. The only viewer is our Emperor, and he is our judge. We must put on a good show for him. He and the others control everything in the Arena. If the Emperor is disappointed, we die. That's not exactly it, but it's a simplified version."
"So...I'm in the Arena to fight, am I?" I asked, already knowing the answer. Octavia rolled her eyes.
"Of course," she answered. Cadmus folded his arms impassively.
"And you're my trainers?" I clarified. Cadmus nodded.
"Our job is to make sure you survive...long enough so that the Emperor is pleased with our work, that is," Cadmus told me. "Your work reflects on our own. If the Emperor is really displeased about your performance, we can be punished as well. We must not only make sure you survive, but that you put on a good show."
"Makes sense...I guess," I said, shrugging. "So, what now?"
"Perhaps you should tell us who you are," Octavia suggested.

Name: First name mandatory, last name optional. Must at least sound authentic...here's a list of male and female names.
Age: No kids, and no one elderly.

...Think you posted a big enough picture?!
If you say so.

You get the initiative and are able to tackle him, driving him to the ground. You then unsheathe your spatha while on top of him but this gives him sufficient time to recover from your assault and kick you in the gut. You are stunned temporarily by this, giving him enough time to bash you in the face. You are pushed backward and drop your spatha in the process. He then kicks it away as well. You see that his sica was dropped when you tackled him, and now he's standing only a few feet in front of it, far closer than your lost spatha.

You can't just dive for the sica. For one thing, it's a few yards away and besides your opponent is in between you and it.

You scoop up some sand and run at him. You throw the sand in his face and he's blinded, and you are able to throw him to the side. You grab the sica for a moment, giving him time to wipe his eyes and charge. Too late, he realizes you already have the sica and you stab him in the stomach. He keels over, badly wounded.

You kick him in the face and he falls over on his side with a groan, holding his intestines in with both hands.
You look up at the emperor, and he is impassive. He gives no sign either way; remember,this isn't the gladiator's arena. This is a little different.

Name: Ian Lancaster
Age: 27
Gender: M
Physical Desc.: 6'2, bald, muscular, Caucasian, black eyes, clean-shaven. Has a tattoo of a skull on the back of his neck.
Personality: Lancaster is cynical, merciless, a perfectionist, disciplined, cunning, and determined. He has a sarcastic sense of humor and can be charming when he wants to be, but normally is withdrawn and silent. He trusts no one...and no one trusts him.
Country: United States
Company Name: Atrum Militis
Company Desc.: Highly militant and exclusive, very secretive.
Weapons: Garrote wire
Armor: Normal Clothes
Misc.: Plasma Torch, Batrachotoxin Vial[10 grams], Nylon Rope/Climbing Gear[35 ft].
Health: 100/100
Armor: 0/0
Conditions:
Money: 100
Missions: none
Mission Events:
Perk: runaway: your quick in a pinch and a smooth talker
Bio: Lancaster was raised by both his parents. His father was in the military and so they were constantly moving around following his dad on various assignments. Lancaster was never given a chance to make any friends or ever get used to a school, so he started skipping school and instead became an autodidact. He taught himself everything he would have normally learned in school and more, such as martial arts and languages. As a child, he mastered the language of Spanish. His father was extremely strict and beat Lancaster often if he ever made a mistake, both verbally and physically. As a result, Lancaster became pessimistic, independent, and reclusive. When Lancaster was fifteen years old, he ran away, and with the help of his mother(who forged his father's signature) he joined the army, lying and saying that he was seventeen. Luckily, being that he was big for his age, the army admitted Lancaster and he was sent to boot camp. Being that he already knew much of what he was being shown at boot camp and was already in shape, he was sent immediately to combat, where he proved himself by capturing three enemies in one battle. As a result, he was sent to the Army Rangers, where he conducted multiple CSAR operations and saved several lives, during this time he learned paratrooping, climbing, etc.(over the course of one year, meaning that he is now 16), then was reassigned to a sniper regiment. He performed very well, and was then taken to Delta Force, where he was sent all over the world. First, to Israel, where he was stationed for 5 years(now he's 21) and learned the Israeli martial art of Krav Maga. Then, he was sent to Russia, where he quickly became fluent in Russian over the course of two years(now he's 23) as well as gaining knowledge about their geography, history, and politics. Then finally Lancaster was sent to his last assignment, China. He learned Mandarin Chinese and the martial art of Dim Mak over the course of 3 years(now he's 26). He was then reassigned to a sniper regiment again, where he was the commanding officer. He was badly wounded in a fight against insurgents despite having taken down several of them himself and he was discharged from the armed forces. Disillusioned, near-psychotic, and enraged, Lancaster turned to a less honorable profession.

entertainment it is

i take him and hold him from behind in front of the emperor and slit his throat
