The Blood here will never dry...
Welcome to Rome. It's currently 121 AD. You have been shipped here for one reason. To fight, and to fight to the death. You are in Rome. It is the biggest empire in it's time. The Colosseum has just finished being built. It's a magnificent structure the outside. But everyday the blood is renewed. Gladiators fight here, prisoners are executed, and animals kill. All infront of about 4000 people.
The Colosseum was used as a giant fighting ring. Prisoners, Gladiators, and Animals fight everyday in front of a minimal of 2000 people, maximum 10,000 people. You are an animal shipped from your homeland. You live below the Colosseum in a cage big enough for you to move around, and you are fed and watered everyday. Yet you must work for your food. And you must kill humans for it.
Info on the rp:
*Predators from Africa and Asia are shipped in to fight. The most common are lions and tigers. Although leopards, bears,hyenas, and sometimes rhinos have been seen.
*There are three 'parts' in the Colosseum day.
1) Gladiator vs. Animals - You fight the most in this section. Starts at 9 AM and ends at 12 AM.
2) Prisoner/Criminal Execution - Usually the humans kill them, but sometimes prisoners are killed by animals. Starts at 12 AM and ends at 4 PM.
3) Gladiator vs. Gladiator - Mostly humans fighting in chariots or on foot. You are resting in your cage at this time. Starts at 4 PM and ends at 7 PM. At the end of these fights the people go home.
Rules
No powerplaying, godmodding, all that stuff XD
Every animal must kill atleast one person, as that's how the human gives you your food.
You are not allowed to attack the audience.
You may not breed unless the Roman Emperor allows you.
Follow FH Rules

Temptress
"Don't underestimate the things that I will do."
Age
2 1/2
Gender
Female
Personality
Cold and quiet, Temptress's nonchalant gaze and melancholy reactions are not due to a lack of care. The feline cared far to much, and this was her weakness. Due to her history she rarely speaks, preferring to stick to business. Years before she would have rather died than kill, but now it's an activity she is careless towards.
What animal are you
Leopard
History
Temptress grew cherished by her mother, but when they grew desperate for food they relied on villages. Once word of two rogue leopards got out, they were sought after, and in a desperate attempt to save her mother, the feline attacked. She was taken down, her head hitting a rock and leaving a long scar above her right eye. Her mother, deemed weak, was destroyed while she was shipped to Rome and treated before being thrown into the games. She hasn't spoken a words since to a single soul, she can often be heard referred to as whisper.

[History]
Unlike most, Hades was born in captivity. He was constantly beaten turning him towards a route of hatred. He was taught to kill and he does just that. He had a perticular fight where he was badly injured. The people who fed him and such figured he was going to die so they left him to die expecting it to happen overnight. They were surprised when they found him still breathing the next morning. He healed himself which surprised many people including himself. In no time at all, he was back in the arena. Now, four years later, he is stronger and very quick-minded. He keeps most of his past hidden in the depths of the dark.

He has killed between 20-40 people in his 6 years of captivity.

Jupiter
Jupiter looked up from his slumber as the announcer's voice rang through the Colosseum. He welcomed all the guests, and the roar of the crowd was heard as the announcer introduced a gladiator to the ring. Suddenly Jupiter's cage open and a trapdoor opened at the top. He walked out, squinting at the sudden light. The crowd roaring, the gladiator lifted his sword and shield and charged Jupiter. Jupiter leapt to the side, just as his sword came down. Jupiter clawed his side, and he cried out in pain. He hit Jupiter in the shoulder with his shield, and Jupiter grunted. The crowd screamed. The gladiator shoved Jupiter over with his shield and raised his sword, but the tiger leapt up and grabbed his throat. The crowd was going crazy at this point. The gladiator fell dead, and Jupiter looked up to the crowd. The were screamed and cheering. A trapdoor opened up behind him and he turned and walked back down into his cage. His handler pat his head, "Good job boy, you put on a show!"
(Whoever wants to fight next May, we are doing 1 on 1 fights.)

Proserpine
The tigress lifted her head as she heard the final screams of the first fight. Her blue lagoon eyes scanned the area, seeing the only man who wasn't despised by her. She sat up and looked at him, her black and white coat standing on end from pure anxiety.
"Well, Proserpine, looks like you're next." The man said with a sigh. "After the last stunt you pulled with the sneaking, you've been requested to be chained with this new crowd."
This human must have been quite lonely, seeing that he was talking to a tiger. He put the steel shackle around her neck like a collar, making sure the chain was long enough to move around, and that the cuff was loose enough that she could slip or break out with ease. He walked her passed Jupiter, the white coat obviously standing out.
When they exited into the stadium, her blue eyes hazed over with concentration.
Some of the audience laughed, calling her a pet, rather than a tiger. She didn't even roar like the last one! They said she had no chance at all, as they watched her handler attach the chain to the heavy iron block.
Most of the crowd, however, knew better. They had seen her before; she killed other tigers, as well as humans. She wasn't the type of beautiful beast to call an average kitty. They knew, as soon as her handler left, that she would most likely become an escape artist.
The gladiator was a big guy, rippling in muscles and making a power pose as the crowd cheered, and the announcer introduced him as Vibius.
Then, the announcer introduced the tiger, saying that if she was killed, her glorious white pelt would make a lovely orniment for his home.
Proserpine rolled her eyes at the comment and crouched. As the gladiator charged, the tiger managed to slip out of the binding in time to dodge, and circle around behind the gladiator.
Vibius turned and slashed his blade at her, making her scoot back, but take advantage of the slight hesitation when going for another slice. She bot into his arm and locked her jaws, making him release his sword that crashed to the ground. He yelled out in agony once there was a sickening pop.
The part of the crowd that doubted fell silent, as the tiger released her grip and took advantage of the warrior's inadvertent display of not watching his vital regions. She stood on her hind legs and walked a centimeter before biting his face and puncturing the frontal lobe of his skull.
The white fur around her mouth was dyed a syrupy crimson as she padded back to her handler. "That's my girl." The handler grinned proudly.

The roars of the crowd echoed into the underground tunnels beneath the Colosseum, exciting most of the creatures in their depths. The metal cages clunked together as they hopped about anxiously, but one feline remained quiet. Temptress's golden optics focused on the sun spilling in through the metal grates of the openings leading to the stadium, her tail swishing in thought. As a scream sounded through the already noisey air, a familiar figure approached the Leopards cage."Okay girl. Come on.", the mman's soothing words did nothing to calm Temptress, as she was already quite melancholy about the situation. It wasn't her first, and it wouldn't be her last. The town, hell cities new about her. All due to her first kill.
Temptress's ears pinned back in shock as the crowd roared above her. The dry dust-like dirt covered her paws as the feline cowered beneath the bright sun. The sudden war cry from the armored warrior brought a hiss to her lips and in fear, she turned, charging the only direction she could think of. Away.
Straight into a large concrete wall of the colosseum, though unlike most would have head butted it, the feline instinctively launched herself into the air, kicking off of the wall to whirl around and take the warrior's helmet in her jaws, along with his head. Thus, earning a roar from the crowd, and a well known reputation.
As the man clicked the metal chain about her neck, Temptress was lead towards the large metal gate, which was promptly pushed open. Unlike most, the feline casually strolled out, and the stadium grew quiet, not silent, but quiet. Temptress had been used for fighting new warriors when she first arrived, but over the years, she began being used as a last resort. For warriors who made it past their prime and refused to lose, she was the killer. It wasn't rare for a warrior to know it was his last time when she walked out, and thus explaining the sudden despair upon the warrior's face that stood before her. He knew. They all did.
With a quiet huff, Temptress slowly sat back, watching the warrior silently. Hesitantly, he glanced about at the intense crowd, before readying his spear. Finally, he let out a yell, and charged forward. Dodging, the leopard leaped aside, forcing the spear to pierce between a chain link, pinning her chain down and keeping her in place. With a sudden wash of hope, the warrior turned to use his shield, just as Temptress leaped against the chain, yanking the spear from the ground. It shot up from the dirt, piercing the man's chest with a heavy gasp. And bloodily, he fell to his knees before dropping still. The crowd roared in celebration as the chain was yanked, pulling the feline back into the tunnels.

Hades was pacing in his 'cage'. His jaws were parted and he grunted every so often. He could hear the roaring of the crowd and the agonizing screams of the downed gladiators. The other animals that were being led in and out of the coluseum. The leopard had caught his attention, though, for he had heard the stories about her. He wasn't frightened or even intimidated by her but slightly impressed. Finally his time came and his trainer came over and hooked a chain to him. The man led him out into the coluseum and lcked the chain on a tall podium to keep him a safe distance away from the wall. Hades let out a roar which made the crowd go crazy. The announcer yelled out above the crowd and introduced the gladiator, Centhos. The gladiator was well muscled and well equiped. He armor was indeed strong but not at all impossible to get through. He let out a low tone growl as the gladiator turned to him and then charged him. The guy successfully rammed him and sent him tumbling but he got his footing just as the man brought down his blade. Hades lunged forward and tackled the gladiator, latching on to his arm. The gladiator struggled beneath his weight but Hades had already grabbed ahold of his throat and pulled back. Blood covered his maw as he backed off. The crowd was silent as they stared in aw of what he did. Amongst the silence he heard the announcer speak, announcing the end of the battle and then Hades was led back into the tunnels, still covered in blood.

Name: Ares (Named after the god of War)
Age: 2 1/2 years old
Gender: Male
Personality:
Since Ares was brought to the stadium, Ares began to hate humans, besides the one who fed him. He usually is extremely violent against people in gladiator uniform. While Ares rapidly attacks gladiators, he is kind towards other animals, and occasionally shows interest. He also shows interest in fights, despite fighting violently.
What animal are you: White Lion
Appearance: Above. He has beautiful blue eyes and gorgeous mane.
History: Ares was born in Northern Africa. His father was the king and also a white lion. He was 1 year old when the Romans came and took him and his brothers away from the pride. He was shipped to Rome and placed in a cage under the Colosseum. They raised him until he at least grew his mane and began to make him fight. Now, just about 2 months later, he has grown used to the cries of humans and growls and roars of his fellow animals.
Kills: He only killed 2 humans, he is fairly new to the Stadium.

"Everything that kills me makes me feel alive"
Name: Vulcan (god of fire/Blacksmiths)
Age: 3 Years old
Gender: Male
Personality: Vulcan suits the typical hyena stereotype quite well. He tends to be a bit of a jokester and a troublemaker, looking for any opportunity to poke fun at someone- outside the ring of course. Though he is pretty humorous about most things, he is quick to snap into a bitter mood, and often comes off as rude or sarcastic. True to his natural species roots, he loaths lions in particular, and gets kicks out of teasing them behind the safety of his cage bars. He's got a short fuse that is easily lit. Inside the ring, however, he is a completely different creature all together. Knowing he has to fight for his food, his mind instantly molds into that of a savage beast- just what the humans want. He uses his tremendous bite force- which is one of the highest bite forces in the whole animal kingdom- to his advantage, and knows his way around a gladiator. While he's normally rather clumsy or awkward, in the ring he moves quick, as if he is back at his homeland chasing down a cape buffalo. He knows his strengths- his stamina and his jaws- and will instantly plot out mental paths to take and when and where to strike on his opponent. In the ring, he is a vigorous power-house, and won't stop doing what he was brought there to do until he is physically pryed off the body once he makes his final move. He gets a bit into it when he's fighting, and often attempts to eat the opponent he'd defeated. Outside of the ring, he is generally lazy, snappy, and sarcastic.
What animal are you: Spotted Hyena
Appearance (Pics are allowed): Photo. He is a good size, both in hight and in muscle mass, though he's naturally smaller than females of his species. His awkwardly proportioined legs are built perfectly to sustain a running gait for a remarkably long time- one advantage of his species. He has enormous jaws and heavy set teeth- fit for cracking bone. His bite force is among the highest in all the animal kingdom, though he is often underestimated.
History: Vulcan was born and raised at the Colosseum. From birth he was taught the rituals and ways of the gladiator lifestyle- neglected for training purposes by his human care-takers, they molded his young mind to be that of a fierce predator, one who takes no nonsense from others. They did well to make him aggressive, and when he started winning in the ring, they began to show him more respect. His first round was a prisoner execution- a typical right of passage for the training yearlings to see if they're ready to take on human flesh. It was a round he passed with flying colors. Since the prisoners couldn't quite fight back very well, as they were unarmed. It was then when Vulcan first tasted human blood, and since then he's craved it in the ring.
Kills: 19
Other: Nope

Name:
Athena
Age:
4 Y/O
Gender:
Lioness
Personality:
Quite the ferocious fighter. Athena is a very cunning lioness who isn't easilly fooled. Despite sometimes coming across at 'ditsy' that's not completely her at all-many have their moments. Ever since being a cub Athena was a born fighter and always seemed to do so. Often this lioness will hold a grudge depending on her mood or how bad she feels the situation is. Since having a short temper she easily snaps and doesn't show mercy. Ever. Many fear her because of the harshness of her words and the biterness of her, but really she's a friendly creature to those of the animal kingdom-otherwise she will kill you, especially the humans. Athena works well under stress and quickl situations, she dislikes being ordered around although she does it from time to time. Alltogether she is unpredictable, aggressive, kind, protective, bitter, stubborn, sly, cunning, swift, intelligent and an excellent fighter.
Species:
Feline - African Lion
Appearance:
A beautiful golden lioness-a well cleaned coat that is a perfect colour for a Lion. Its rather fluffy but yet rough and short, for being in battle its in rather good condition. Under the thick mass of fur lines pure, solid muscle which makes up the large figure of this lioness. She has very sturdy legs, longs claws and a painful bite. Her eyes are a beautiful amber but seem to tint green/red at different times. All over her body she has mass amounts of scars from all of her 13 fights.
History:
Ever since being a cub Athena has been at the coliseum her father a successful fighter along with her mother. Sadly when Athena was at a young age her parents were brutally slaughtered for turning on their training in attempt to seek freedom. Now Athena follows in their paw steps in the fighting world.

She has had 12 kills and 1 defeat.

Nothing other

"By failing to prepare,
you are preparing to fail."
Name:
His name is Kronos.
(the ruling god during the Golden Age)
Age:
He is five years old.
Gender:
He is of the male.
Personality:
Most creatures find it hard to keep steady eye contact with Kronos' cutting, perceptive gaze, making him appear intimidating and withdrawn. He is amiable to those he has grown close to and enjoys playing pranks. Kronosis a keen opportunist. He has an ease with words useful in diplomacy, preferring to resolve conflicts with little violence. However, Ares is a skilled fighter who gains the confidence of his comrades through his charm and ability to rapidly make decisions concerning trivial situations or issues. He is steadfastly loyal to those he cares about and will defend them with tooth and claw, even at the cost of his life. However, he can be a little defensive of himself at times. He doesn't always like admitting to his mistakes, but he tries to. He is also easily provoked and has a temper at times. Sometimes, he hardens himself and shuts out the world. He is a master at concealing his emotions and slipping emotionless masks over his face, much to the frustration of some. The more time you spend with him, the less you seem to know about him. He does open up to those he really trusts, although he doesn't share too much. Kronos has a hard time admitting his limits. He doesn't like to confess to feeling "weak," even when he is obviously exhausted. This shows a bit of his stubborn side. He occasionally judges people a little too quickly, and he can be a little too wary at times.
What animal are you:
Kronos is an Amur Leopard.
History:
Kronos was born and raised in the coliseum. He was taken away from his parents at birth, but given an owner who took care of him. He soon later learned the lifestyle in the coliseum. At first, he was shy and unwilling to fight, but after a serve beating, he took on the rule and soon began to slaughter his opponents.
Kills:
He has thirteen kills.
Other:
Nothing more.

"Everything that kills me makes me feel alive"
V U L C A N
____________________________________________________________________________________
The muscular hyena lay sprawled out on his side near the back of his large cage, his back up against the large iron bars; the darker tan tufts of longer fur, a mane of sorts, on the back of his neck sticking out from between the bars. Though he was in a light slumber state, his radar dish ears were alert- silently listening to the sounds of the crowd and battle coming from the arena which lie just above the animal cage room. He hadn't been fed yet, today, and quietly wondered when it was the people would decide to send him above and give him his chance to fight for his pay.
Spotted sides slowly moving up and down with each breath, Vulcan furrowed his eyebrows as he picked up the sounds of some nearby felines caged a few spots away from his own; however, he chose to brush off the annoying felines to focus on getting his rest. Suddenly, the sounds of the roaring crowd shattered that attempt, making the hyena wake with a start. From the sound of it, the ongoing fight match had ended. Right as Vulcan began to wonder whether the man or the animal was victorious, a shaft of light broke the darkness of the room and a familiar looking enormous lion was led in- crimson staining his coat. Whether it was his blood or the human gladiator's, he wasn't sure. All he knew was the beast was victorious. "Well, well, looks like the kitty gets his day's worth, eh?" The hyena snickered at the large feline, slumping down onto his haunches at the front of his cage to watch the lion be led to his own.
The voices of the Roman guards who were in the room drew Vulcan's attention quickly away from pestering the lion. He tipped his broad cranium to the side whilst he listened attentively to the humans' words. "Prisoner execution is next, right after we get the floor cleared." One guard said to the other, who responded with a nod. "Send in the hyena once everything is in place." The other man said before exiting the room and tugging the doors closed, cutting off the light source. The thought brought a smirk to Vulcan's muzzle. It was about time he got some action- and prisoner matches happened to be his favorite. They always tended to be easy kills.

Hades had his eyes forward as he was led down the tunnel back to his cage. His eyes shifted over towards a familiar hyena that spoke. He let out a sarcastic laugh. "Funny.." He growled. "If you weren't in there you wouldn't be talking mutt." He snarled. His handler opened a cage only two doors down from the hyena. Through the bars he could easily see the hyena but kept his eyes off if him. Hades walked along the cage till he made it to the back and plopped down with a grunt. He hated to admit it, but he was rather old. He still had fight in him but he didn't know how many years until he lost it, and his life. He shook the thought out of his head then rolled over on his side his gaze drifted in the dimly lit room. There were no fights going on but that didn't seem to matter to the crowd. They were still cheering. "Prisoner execution.." He remembered. They were probably getting ready for the execution. He grunted once again then closed his eyes and betan drifting awayto a light sleep.

Jupiter
The tiger watched as animals were led in the stadium, then coming back with blood on their teeth or claws. Jupiter looked away and his handler entered the cage and began to wipe the blood off his muzzle. "I know, I know." His handler said as Jupiter growled. He rinsed the blood off the rag in a bowl of water that he had brought with him. " I will be right back." He said and left with the rag and bowl. Jupiter sat down and watched as two men entered the room, discussing the prisoner execution phase of the day. Then his handler walked in. He placed down a plate with meat in it, and a bowl with water in it. He pet Jupiter on the head, and left. Jupiter began to eat his food, which was a large amount, and drank his water.

Athena
"Go ahead, tell me that I'm not good enough. Tell me I can't do it. Because I'll show you over and over again that I can!"
The loud sudden roars of the crowd caused the Lioness jump-a growl rumbling up her scarred throat and soon erupting from her large jaws. As the sounds of shouts and roars echoed into the chamber area the animals were caged up in the rolled from her side and onto her stomach. Amber eyes glaring around as she observed everyone and most things that surrounded her-although everyone and everything was familiar she still done so everyday. The sudden clanking of metal caused her head to jerk, light suddenly filled the room and in he came, a large brute covered in blood. She could still hear the roaring crowd but they soon hushed. Allowing her jaws to pull apart in a yawn she decided it was time to rise.
The golden pelt of the she-cat slid across the ground as she began to push herself, paws spread apart and pressing against the colt surface-it seemed a relief to get herself off of the uncomfortable ground she had previously been sleeping on. "Least they could give us is a bed, since we have to fight for our meals..." she growld half to herself as she watched the brute passed-like her he had many scars filling his body from the brutal battles they had previously had. Although she wasn't to interested and just wanted food. With her stomach demanding food she turned to glance out her cage-thich bars lined her vision but through the gaps were the humans.
Wondering towards the edge of her cage Athena glanced out, her eyes narrowed and her tail violently whipping left and right with the tip curled up-her scarred muzzle poking out as she pulled in the scents-all that she could smell was blood, humans and the other animals. The Lionesses circular ears lifted then swirled around to hear what the humans had to say, a Hyena would soon be fighting. Looking to her left he was in view. Soon enough her trainer Tyran came towards her cage and looked down at the scarred feline. Smiling he put a hand on the bar "After that Hyena you're, make it quick though its over in an hour..." he spoke and quickly hurried off-preparing her opponent Mikuo-a man she indeed hated.
Grinning, Athena lifted from her haunches and onto her paws, her large body now standing in the usual proud lion stance. Allowing her claws the slide out, she dragged them across the ground-a noise that irritated manys ears echoed through the room. That of chalk on a board. With a grin still plastered across her face she quickly ran her tongue across her lips-the fight would be soon and with her stomach beating her up for food, she needed to win.

Proserpine laid her head down on her paws as she heard the hyena just down the way. She stood up, went over to a pool of water Gaius had made a deal for her to have in her cage and submerged all but her head into the water. The water wasn't a clear lagoon quite like her eyes, but it was at least cool enough for her to calm down in. She absolutely loved this water here. She closed her eyes slowly.
Moments later, Gaius came back with a deer that had been preserved, but was missing its leg, which was in his hand. The deer was on a wagon, and he was obviously going to save the legs for his little lady, and take the rest of it home to his family, consisting of his wife, his parents, and his son.
He unlocked the gate and came in.
Proserpine opened her eyes lazily to see who it was, before finally pulling herself out of the water and sitting in front of him in a polite way.
He smiled at her. "Waiting, aren't you?" He chuckled. "Don't forget your manners, Pro."
The tigress bowed her head a little as a thank you, then Gaius handed her her deer leg. He sat down in the cage with her, and watched her take bites that were small.
"You know, the executions are next." He said with a sigh.
She looked at him, then went back to eating.
"It's strange, isn't it? Using you animals to do the work that us humans are too frightened to do ourselves." He started taking the kinks out of the chain that had held her in the ring. "I can only hope that we swallow that fear later on as time passes by, so that you magnificent beasts won't have to be stained with the filthy blood of traitors and murderers."
She looked at the lioness and then the leopard. She had heard of the leopard, yes, but she wasn't one to have fear glaze her eyes. She knew the lioness was part of the executioners' brigade, having seen her, the hyena, a male leopard, and a solid white male lion leave together into the stadium many times before.

Ares was eating a hunk of meat while his human brushed his fur. Two men were talking just beyond his cage, then they walked to his cage. One of the men pointed to him, and said he would take part in the prisoner execution. Ares huffed and the men talked a little bit then left.

Vulcan raised his eyebrows at the beastly feline who was put in the cage just a few doors down from his own. "We'll see about that, old timer." The spotted hyena cackled, flicking his short tail at his haunches. Blowing a huff from his nostrils and shaking his head, he turned away and took a few walking laps around his cage, anxious to get in the ring soon. As he paced he exchanged glances with the other two felines who seemed to glance over at him. By now he was quite used to getting stares- being one of the only non-feline being held here currently. His broad jaws parting wide in a yawn, Vulcan stalked towards the front of his large cage and stuck his dark muzzle between the bars- taking in a long whiff of the air just outside it. Before too long it became clear the crowd outside was becoming louder, indicating the prisoners must have been recently brought out. The door to the cage room slid open, allowing another shaft of dim light pierce the darkness of the room as the human caretakers entered and halted in front of the hyena's cage. Vulcan chuffed in glee, backing up to stare up at the humans, his thin haired tail arched high to indicate his state of excitement. He allowed the man to slip a heavy link chain around his neck, and instantly darted forward, tugging on the chain lead. Maybe it was his gnawing hunger spurring him to want to kill quicker this round, or maybe it was just his desire to be admired by the crowd as he fulfilled his wild, natural urges to slaughter his opponents. On the way out, he didn't even bother to shoot a glance at one of the felines as he passed by their cages.
Vulcan's eyelids narrowed and he blinked rapidly as his pupils dilated to adjust to the suddenly bright sunlight as he stepped onto the sandy dirt ground of the arena. Immediately his nostrils were overwhelmed with the scent of blood as well as sweaty humans- and his round ears were filled with the ecstatic screaming of the spectators, as well as the begging prisoners at the center of the Colosseum. The second he saw his new targets- three men- the brute lunged forward, only to be yanked back and in turn choked by the chain around his neck that was held at the end of a chain leash. Panting and yapping in anticipation, he continued to tug like a dog longing to chase a squirrel. The prisoners were unarmed, but were allowed free range to run and fight with what they had- their hands. Vulcan snapped his ominous jaws together with a loud clack, teeth bared while he snarled, neck mane standing on end. With word from the spectating Emperor, the soldiers unhooked the chain-link leash, sending the hyena barreling towards the criminals like a police dog after a suspect. In an instant, he was upon one man, jaws already clamped firmly upon his forearm. The sheer weight and force of the full grown spotted hyena slamming into the man was enough to trip him off his feet and knock him to the ground. The man screamed and struggled beneath the weight of the hyena, vigorously bashing and tugging at the animal's head with his free hand in a vain attempt at getting his jaws off his arm.
The more the prisoner fought back, the harder Vulcan adjusted his grip. Tighter and tighter- until Snap! His well tuned jaws- made for crushing bone- had snapped the man's two forearm bones in half like a toothpick, drawing blood-curdling shrieks from the man. The screaming made Vulcan release the now limp, floppy arm and raise his head to glance at the crying human. A moment of unintentional hesitation that did not last long. He lunged his jaws forward again, this time clasping them tight around the man's throat, and with one hard upward thrash of his head, silence him by extracting his esophagus altogether. He thought about consuming the fleshy tube now hanging from his bloody jaws, but his attention was quickly diverted to the other two prisoners to be executed, both fleeing. Snarling, Vulcan dropped the muscle and stepped off the bloody corpse. With a menacing clack of his jaws, he careened towards his next victim. This one had a running start, and running behind him spurred Vulcan's predatory instinct even more. He adjusted his gait to a carefree lope, using his endurance to wear this one down instead of wasting all the energy to chase him down at high speeds. Once he'd rested enough by adjusting his pace, he slowly began to speed up, eyes firmly fixed upon the tiring man before him. Once he was close enough, he lurched his head forward, snapping at the man's ankles with a couple barks. With one more stride, his snapping teeth made their mark on the man's calf muscle. As soon as his canines were buried in the muscle, Vulcan gave his head a sideways thrash, tugging his victim off his feet.
Collapsing in a heap upon the ground, the man desperately scrambled to get up, wriggling in the hyena's firm hold on his calf. With his free foot, he quickly brought it up, catching Vulcan on the side of the head with a strong kick, making him lose his grip for a moment. Shaking his cranium, he got his head back in the game and pounced on the man's back as he tried to crawl away and possibly regain his feet, pinning him with his standing body weight. With no more hesitation, he brought those bone-crushing jaws down upon the back of hte man's neck, severing his upper spinal cord with one hard crunch. This prisoner dispatched, Vulcan now turned his attention to the last one. Quickly this time, he sprang for the other man, who was standing in the center of the ring facing him. Letting out a sharp snapping bark, the hyena lunged for him head-on. This man fought back. With his strong hands, he grasped Vulcan by the thick fur and muscle on the sides of his neck, deterring his attack as he held him back, leaning backwards to avoid the snapping jaws at his face. The man suddenly brought up his knee, nailing Vulcan in the stomach. That blow almost knocked the breath out of him, making him pull away and put all four paws on the ground to catch his breath. He quickly recovered and snapped his glare back to the man. Huffing, he suddenly hopped into an easy lope, circling the man- all the while with his head low and tail high, letting out a high pitched cackling sound. All at once, he lunged for the man's side, this time catching him the way he'd previously planned. With his momentum and weight, he shoved the man to the ground. After a bit more struggling, Vulcan managed to get his jaws around the throat of the man, piercing the jugular with his canines. This one he decided to let bleed out. The crowd was on their feet by now, screaming and cheering in approval of the underestimated hyena who stood atop another lifeless carcass he'd made. He always loved execution matches. Easy meal for little price.

Jupiter
Jupiter watched as a hyena was led into the stadium. He lay down and pricked his ears when he heard the pained cries of prisoners. He usually never fought in the Prisoner Execution. The crowd cheered, and the hyena came back. Jupiter nodded to the hyena then began grooming himself.

"Everything that kills me makes me feel alive"
V U L C A N
____________________________________________________________________________________
Standing victoriously over the deceased corpse, Vulcan instinctively set his gaze upon that tempting-looking chest that was teeming with muscle tissue and meat. Completely ignoring the soldiers that had begun to move over to hook the chain around his neck and bring him back, the hyena lunged his strong jaws downward, sinking his rounded canines into the thin human flesh. The crowd continued to sadistically cheer, watching as the victor tore open the rib cage of the executed prisoner he stood on top of. It was a habit of his, and the guards often let him take at least a couple mouthfuls before restraining him, simply for the purpose of further pleasing the blood-thirsty crowd of Roman citizens.
Just as Vulcan tore free part of a bloody rib bone, the soldiers had managed to attach the chain leash to the heavy chain around his neck- thus tearing him away from the now ripped open carcass of the prisoner, though not without protestant yaps and tugs of the hyena. Eventually, though, Vulcan remembered the prize awaiting him upon his return- food. Huffing a few cackling noises, he shook his head and turned, obediently following the humans who led him back to the dark containment room where the other animals were held.
As those large double doors creaked open and the light from the outside world pierced the darkness- revealing the faces of the other creatures in their cages- Vulcan strolled in, his blood-stained head held high in pride. He walked along side the Roman soldier, almost strutting as he let his ego flow forth until he was lightly shoved into his large cage. Rounded ears craned forward, he took in a couple rapid sniffs, fluffy tail swaying as he waited impatiently for his reward. He clacked his jaws together, barking out a couple gruff cackles as he put his forepaws on the railing, nudging the soldier's arm from between the bars as he approached with an armfull of fresh meat. Without uttering a word, the man tossed the side of raw beef into the cage- the meat making an echoing splattering noise as it hit the stone floor. Chuffing that trademark hyena "laugh", Vulcan wheeled around and placed himself before the bloody meat. Little time passed before he began to stuff his face, his jaws loudly crunching on the meat and bone.
The sounds of sloppy feeding filled the room as he gorged himself, not caring for how bloody his face or fur got. In the midst of his eating, subtle voices made his satellite dish ears flick, drawing his attention towards the cage of a white tigress- and- a human? Intrigued by this odd pair, Vulcan turned his head towards them while he chewed, tipping it to the side in bewilderment. "Psh, why are you just hanging around with him? They shouldn't be a friend, so why associate yourself with them like that? It's only gonna get you in trouble, you fur-brained cat." Vulcan huffed disapprovingly, unable to comprehend the concept of friendship between a human and an animal. Humans, to him, were viewed as either authority, or as enemies. There was no in between.

Jupiter
Jupiter looked up from his grooming as a human with a white tigress began to talk with a human outside the cage. A tiger and a human. That's a unique pair. In all my time I hadn't seen anything like it. The large male thought to himself. His handler then appeared, bringing a vile paste and some water. "Here Jupiter. In a recent fight you were cut by a sword on your tail. I have to give you this.." He bent down and applied some of the paste to his wound. Jupiter roared and clawed the floor of his cage. "I know, I know." His handler gave him a cube of meat, and spread the paste. His handler, who was named Cato, stood up and pat Jupiter's shoulder. "Now don't lick off the paste, it will help you." Jupiter grunted as Cato left, saying he was going to get something to eat and drink.

Athena
"Go ahead, tell me that I'm not good enough. Tell me I can't do it. Because I'll show you over and over again that I can!"
Athena turned her head towards the canids cage as his handler seemed to be fussing around, then putting a thick chain on the creature and leading him out. The lioness couldn't help but let a grin slide from ear to ear as he passed-dipping her head in good luck as she watched him wait upon the opening of the door. Soon enough the large metal door lifted and the bright lights of the arena shone into the dull lit caged area. Growling as the light blinded her Athena blinked her eyes adjusting them quickly to the bright lights. Eyes focused ob the arena as she glanced around at the crowds-today it was full and no surprise they were looking for a good show. The humans began to cheer but the doors quickly slammed shut.
The room had once again returned to its origional darkness and everything had suddenly went silent. Even in the arena it was silent. But soon enough the sudden roars of the crowd had begun and obviously the fight had started-the lionesses ears twitched as she heard the sudden screams of the audience. A smile grew across her face as the atmosphere suddenly changed -soon it would be her in the ring and she couldn't wait.
But her attention was quickly turned away from the direction of the stadium and her eyes locked upon the tanned, dark haired male she recognised as her trainer. Tyran. He seemed to be checking up on the lioness as she waited patiently for her round-entering her cage. "Just going to check you for any wounds" he spoke in a strong tone as he began to examin the lioness. Athena was use to this by now so she just stood patiently until he was finished and everything seemed fine. "All clear girl, you'll be on in 10..." he smiled and wondered off to get her chains. Nodding her head she let a quiet roar rumble up her throat. Her attention resting upon the door she would soon be approaching.

Ares watched as a hyena walked in from the Stadium. He wanted to be in there, but he went after a lioness. He never doubted her, unlike the others. His trainer walked in and greeted him by petting his mane and giving him cubes of meat, Ares' favorite treat. He then got ready for Ares to go into the stadium.

"Everything that kills me makes me feel alive"
V U L C A N
____________________________________________________________________________________
The spotted hyena sneered at the words of the white tiger as she defended her opinion on the human who seemed to be in her constant company- words to which he scrunched his broad muzzle and tipped his head aside at. "Pff, still doesn't rectify them. They're still nothing more than bipedal meat sacks!" Vulcan barked, giving a vertical iron bar of his cage wall and hard snap with his jaws- head sideways to do so. As his teeth violently clamped down quickly on the iron, an obvious loud clanking noise echoed through the distilled room. As instantly as he snapped onto it, he released it after a couple gnawing, grinding bites to it, and straightened up. It was a simple motion purely to express his opinion on the matter. "Stupid cats. In this place, building friendships- especially with them will get you nowhere. It's all about defense and paying your dues." Vulcan mindlessly muttered to himself as he restlessly paced in tight circles around his square cage.
The spotted creature was laying sprawled out at the rear of his cage again, a decent sized bone from his most recently earned meal held vertical with his forepaws and his cranium tilted sideways so that he could blankly gnaw on the end of it with his bone-crunching molars. While normally he preferred to devour the bones all together with the meal, he often saved a larger one as a pass-time object for when boredom overwhelmed him. In a dark place like this, there was little else for stimulation. Vulcan's strong back molars made mind numbing grinding sounds in the quiet room as he absent mindedly gnawed away, not even aiming for consumption- rather something to do other than lay there. His rounded ears suddenly snapped forward as a shaft of light pierced the black containment room, a sign that the humans were here again. This time they stopped at the cage of a lioness- a familiar creature, though Vulcan had never bothered to converse with the she-cat. Kitty cat must be up next. He figured, a crooked smirk flashing upon his face.

Athena
"Go ahead, tell me that I'm not good enough. Tell me I can't do it. Because I'll show you over and over again that I can!"
The sudden sound of clanking and grinding metal caused the she-cat to whip her head around, seeing the very familiar canid of this stadium-who seemed to be latched onto the bars of his cage. It seemed a few of the caged up animals had gotten into a slight argument-cats more than likely ganging up on the hyena, although she wasn't one to but in as she enjoyed listening to arguments of fellow creatures-but she knew it would be hard for the spotted brute, being the only canine.
But, Athenas head was soon dragged from the situation and towards a tall, muscular, tanned man who was heading towards her cage-holding in his hand the heavy chain link collar and lead to lead his companion into the arena. It was one of the last fights of the night and Athena was ready to put on a show. Like most of the creatures here she was rather well knwon in the ring for killing several humans in battle-and now was another chance to shine. The mans foot steps echoed through the dark caged area as he hurried towards the cage, the collar and leash dangling from his hand-soon enough he stopped and looked down at the feline.
Instead of speaking Tyran only had to do a few gestures to communicate with the lioness-something him and Athena had worked on over the years. The clicking of the locks sounded as he pushed in the key and twisted it-the bolts instantly coming undone and the door slowly swung in towards the cage allowing the human to step in, his heavy feet banging against the base of the cage. Athena had now stopped pacing her cage and had stood infron of the large man-her tail violently whipping back and forth as a rumbled escaped her maw-a way lions usually communicated. Putting a paw forward she dipped her head "You ready Ana? This fights got to be a good one..." he spoke his deep voice echoing. Roaring quietly she nudged the males hand and quickly enough he pushed the collar up over her head and lead her out.
Her paws flattened against the cold ground of the dark room as she slowly stalked towards the closed door-her muscles rippling as she looked at each caged creature as she passed, now growing slightly tired of their bickering she couldn't wait to have a good fight-which was soon to come. Soon the duo stopped infront of the steel door-as the familiar voice of the commontator/announcer sounded introducing the she-cat. Lifting her head she looked up towards Tyran, who towered over her-looking upon her with a straight face. Tilting her head he gave a nod to his head-then faced the slowly opening door, she turned also.
Light had now showered into the dark room lighting it almost fully. As she glanced around the well lit stadium she watched as many people jumped out of their seats cheering and bellowing the lionesses name-the commentator saying some rather appealing things about hern but the danger of his words made her seem like a vicious killer-just what those humans wanted. The door had quickly slammed behind her and the crowd soon settled down. One more introduction "And here comes Athenas competator, a vicious fighter who goes by the name of Makou" many people seemed to boo this being and few seemed to cheer-but this didn't distract the lioness. The weight of the chain was soon lifted from the lioness by her trainer who waited in the stadium. Instantly her deadly stare locked onto the light skinned human who stood hand shaking-as she stood motinlessly. The fight was about to begin.

Jupiter
The tiger lay on his back while Cato rubbed his belly. Suddenly the halls lit up. Jupiter leapt up, roaring, and clenched his eyes with his paw. Cato sat back on his knees and rubbed his eyes. Two men called out, "Everyone, Every animal. Welcome Erebus the Rhinoceros to the stadium!" Large doors opened behind him. A large rhinoceros came out "Shut the cage door.." Jupiter breathed as the herbivore walked into a huge cage. "That thing is huge!" said Cato. With the lights on, they guided Erebus into his cage which was much larger than the others. Then the two men left and another man, probably Erebus's trainer, walked into the cage with him. And when the two men left, they did not turn off the lights. Jupiter looked around taking in what he had been living in for so long.

____________________________________________________________________________________
Vulcan, who had been absent mindedly pacing in circles around his cage ever since he'd grown bored with gnawing at the femur bone. He had slowly begun to become agitated with his small confines again, the longer tuft of fur on his back bristling to make that apparent. This unsettled behavior tended to happen almost every time he returned to his cage after being in the arena. How he longed for the ability to stretch his legs- a luxury one couldn't afford in a cage like this. Natural to his kind, Vulcan often gave his jaws a few rapid clacks and let out a few whooping high pitched laughing sounds- an instinctive vocalization to express his discomfort.
The heavy sounds of the doors being tugged open along with that shattering beam of light from outside made the hyena freeze and raise his head- large nostrils flared as he took in the scents of the outside. The human voices, Vulcan ignored as always, but it was something else that made his rounded ears snap forward. Quickly, his pacing began again. He walked back and forth at the front wall of his cage, yapping those agitated, yet curious high pitched whoops as he attempted to see what the commotion was about. Suddenly, an oddly heavy thud from just in front of his cage made him scramble backwards in surprise with a high pitched yap. It was an enormous beast- one he'd never seen here. It looked as if it were made of many Roman shields that had been molded together into a solid wall. Vulcan approached his cage wall and shoved his broad muzzle between the bars to try to sniff the creature as it was led past and placed in an enormous cage fitting for its size. "What in Apollos' name is that!? The hyena blurted, eyes wide as he observed the titanic creature from his spot.

Ares was grooming himself. His trainer, Deiter, sitting beside him. Suddenly the halls lit up. Ares squinted his eyes shut. When he opened his eyes a huge creature stood by. It was like two short swords and a bunch of shield combined. The creature was two cages from him and the creature's cage was three times the size of Ares's cage. "What..? That thing is huge!"

((Umm, are two fights going on at once? Because in my previous two posts its been planned out for my character to go into the arena but now another is going in?))

Athena
"Go ahead, tell me that I'm not good enough. Tell me I can't do it. Because I'll show you over and over again that I can!"
The crowd had stood silent for a few minutes now as they watched the two mamals circle one another-anger filling their faces. Anticipation and excitement running through the silent crowd as they watched "Ooh...arr" we the few words that would escape their mouths when one made a sudden, tormenting move to their opponent. Although many knew Athena loved winding up her opponent before she would attack, and that's what she was going now-it did become clear no one had warned the human of the lionesses fighting tactics which could make this an easy or a diffcult fight-it all depended on the humans experience, pace and skills.
Athenas attention was never upon the audience at any time when she had begun her fights, all locked onto her opponent-what she was showing in the apparent fight. Her thin tail violently swept back and forth as she circled in rhythm with the human who only held a wooden stick in his hand-but she would not get this wrong, although at wasn't the best weapon with a good enough swing with quite some force it could do some damage. But that wasn't putting her off. Her opponent was middle aged and seemed to have scars on his arms and legs-few on his face, although he wasn't that muscular he did have some on his bones. He seemed to be wary of the danger lurking in the stadium-and like most creatures Athena could sense his fear.
Eyes now narrowed and her muscles tensed the lioness took a lunge forward, the crowd gasping as she came to a sudden stop and began circling one again-most fights of hers were entertaining but could sometimes get a little boring at the beginning from all the lionesses taunts-but once the good stuff happened it did. Claming her jaws together and allowing her lips to curl back the golden feline allowed her bloodstained fangs to show in the mans direction, a growl rumbling up her throat as she quickly turned her direction-in order to keep the she-cat in his sight Mokau turned.
It was now five minutes into the fight and Atha had only sturred up the middle aged man who was now crouched slightly, arms out and the stick pointed in the lionesses direction. But although being threatened by a few shoves of the stick Athena managed to keep her cool-a smirk only growing on her face for a few seconds as she made a few lunges forward and a few twists and turned-her speed then picking up.
Circling the being for a few more seconds she decided it was time-teasing the crowd and her opponent had gotten boring but also sturred things like she wanted-now the fight could happen. Suddenly, the muscular feline skidded around and darted across the shiny floor of the stadium-her large paws violently thudded against the ground as she allowed her claws to slide out, her jaws now also parted ready to latch on. Growling Athena had managed to leap from her hind quarters and lunged towards the human-but a rough smack on the head sent her in a diffrent direction. Which only caused more anger to bubble inside of the feline and make her grow more competetive. Landing on the ground with a thud the she-cat gave her head a brisk shake, the crowd booing and shouting although this didn't put her off.
Taking a sturdy step back the lioness parted her jaws and allowed a loud roar to escape, the sound of anger filled the stadium as she slammed each paw against the ground, giving her opponent the 'death stare' as it was known-an evil look Athena would give her opponents which woud often startle them. Rolling her lips back over her teeth a growl rumbled up her broad throat and in a flash she was off. A huge head of fur bolting across the stadium at lightning pace, rage physically and emotionally showing on the lioness as she attacked once again.

Name: Castro
Age: 5 Years
Gender: Male
Personality: Castro is more on the quiet side but by all means is not shy. He enjoys a conversation every now and then but not all the time. He enjoys the rush fighting gives him and enjoys it greatly. He's a loyal Grizzly and a trustworthy friend. He doesn't usually have much conflict between himslef and the other animals for, because he's quiet, nobody really has a reason to dislike. He's also well liked in the arena by the spectators. He doesn't end the fights quickly woth a simple swipe of his paw and snap of his jaws he makes sure their deaths are slow.
What animal are you: Grizzly Bear
Appearance: I'm getting the pic|His muzzle bears many scars along with his flanks.
History: Castro was born out in the wild with a sister and, of course, his mother. He was captures only as a cub after the hunters killed his mother and sister. He grew up in captivity after that and was taught to hate and not to bite the hand of thenone that feeds him. He was in a perticular fight three years ago, a rookie you could say, and people were cheering for the gladiator. It made him mad slightly and he had risen to his full height, easily three feet taller than him. As the gladiator tried to plunge his spear into his chest but his head snapped down and he grabbed ahold of his spear, yanking it from his hands and snapping it in two before throwing it down and then jumping on top of him. He made this fight quick and swiped his claws against the gladiators bare chest then went for his throat, killing him instantly. Afterwards he rose up to his full hieght once again and let out a sort of roar.
Kills: 6 Kills
Other: Nothing

Castro
Castro seized his eyes up upon seeing a rhino. He was quite shocked. He'd seen one years ago as a cub, but that one was long gone. He got to his paws and stepped hearing it speak. He wiped the stonished gaze from his face before speaking up. "Welcome to your own living nightmare.." He muttered and trodded back to the end of his cage and plopping down in the corner. "Where animals fight for their food and humans watch as kill other humans for their own personal amusement." He growled.
Sorry for my absence. The forums wasn't letting me log in.))

(Hey guys, I am going to make an official recap thingy so if someone can't post for a while they can read this.)
Recap: The prisoner execution is almost over. The current fighter is Athena, played by Taylor. Below ground, the animals are introduced to Erebus the Rhinoceros, who just joined the stadium animals. The humans are also building something by the stadium.
There is also a new character, Castro the Bear, played by {^}Liepi{^}.
-
(Sorry, no pic)
Ares nodded to the Bear's words, "Castro is right. You have to fight humans. And it's either kill or be killed out there. But in my opinion the good part is you get a human caretaker just for yourself."
-
"I would say that's always good.." He muttered quietly. He gave a nod to Ares and then lowered his head down to the ground. He yawned before closing his eyes and after a moment drofing off to sleep.
Sorry for shortness. I'm having a really bad day and am not in the mood for much of anything.))

Jupiter looked at the Rhino, "The others are right. But eventually you'll get used to it." Cato dropped a plate with meat. Jupiter began to eat, savoring the taste. He then finished, and licked Cato's hand.

Athena
"Go ahead, tell me that I'm not good enough. Tell me I can't do it. Because I'll show you over and over again that I can!"
The young lioness had began to circle Mokau once again, her claws flexing and dragging across the ground - sounding like chalk and a board, which caused for the audience, her opponent and the spectators to cringe. Her whiskers and ears twitched in anticipation as she watched sweat slowly form on the middle-aged mans face. This being had always taunted the lioness when she was locked away, calling her worse than scum and often hitting her when no one was around - it would be unlikely for her to let him out alive.
Athena had came to a sudden stop, her 'killer' gaze locked onto the being - one many already recognised and gasped in anticipation to see what would be coming next. Mokau had a stickn with a point on the end - but it wasn't that sharp nor blunt, but if used with the right force could cause some pain or even damage. Finally, the fight had begun - this time with only one survivor, the teasing from Athena was over and the tan skinned male was about to meet his doom.
Quickly, the lioness launched off her paws. Muscles rippled beneath the thick layer of fur, the work of it being pretty noticable as she ran - slowly tensing. Long claws out at the ready and her maw wrinkled as she let out many hissed and growls. Large broad paws thudded against the tiled ground of the arena, the crowd silent as they watched.
Eyeing up how much run up she had left Athena finally launched herself from her paws, aiming right at the human she hated ever so much - her mouth parted as she let out many snarly - her eyes narrowed and rage filled the felins eyes. But, in mid air Mokau seen his chance, swinging the stick he was given as a weapon he hit the lioness - the long object smashed into the side of her head and into her rips , the point ever so slightly digging into her hind leg causing her to let out a bellowing roar. Growling, the lioness seemed to slightly flip in mid air - hitting the ground with some force and skidding back a little. The crowd, as predicted had begun to boo and shout.
Athena knew waiting was not an option and would just give the human a chance to get one up on the feline. Growling, she shuffled around then slowly pressed the pads of her paws against the ground - hurling herself off she gave her body a brisk shake. The crowd had now picked up and began to cheer for the well-liked lioness as she regained herself and was once again was ready to attack. That blow had only angered the female more and the taste for blood had rapidly grown. Unlike most beings getting out of here only injured Athena was planning on killing him. Now was her time, he was nervous and shaken - merely experienced the lioness had been in a lot more battles so knew the ways to fight.
Without taking any more time Athena launched herself forward once again, seeing her failed attempts before she decided launcheg into mid-air wasn't a good idea, so decided to go straight for his legs or even his waist - which shouldn't be to hard. Suddenly, the lioness charged forward, ignoring the blow from the stick on her back and instead latching her mouth around the humans legs. Tightening her grip she pierced the skin - feeling blood ooze into her mouth she pushed, causing him to fall. Despite her efforts the human seemed to be violently swinging the stick with some force - giving her some painful blows. Raising a paw the lioness slammed it onto his arm - preventing him from swinging the weapon again. Another paw pressing his head into the ground as she grabbed onto his waist - sinking her teeth into it. One last time, she sunk her teeth into his neck.
After a minute or so Athena had released her grip and backed away, feeling someone drag her off - glancing down she watched his blood spitted from the cuts and teeth marks on his body, Mokaus eyes began to roll bacl as blood gurgled in his mouth - and soon he went lifeless. The crowd had went lifeless for a moment, until the lioness glanced and lifted her head in a bellowing roar. "We declair Athena the winner!" a spectator called out and the blood stained lioness headed back to her cage.
-
Castro's gaze shifted to the opening and then the lioness who had entered. He wasn't shocked to see her blood stained muzzle. He was actually somewhat impressed. After a moment his handler came and opened up his cage. "Your turn." He had said before leading Castro out into the arena. He couldn't see his opponent just yet and once a door on the other side of the arena opened up to an armored man, he knew he was up for a challenge. The man was indeed well muscled and his armor covered his chest, neck, and head, covering all of his vital spots. He grumbled lowly as he circled his enemy. He could hear the spectator speak. "Today we have a coliseum champion, Vlad! He has killed other men along with some of the animals but we hope tonight that this will be the end of his winning streak." The crowd roared at this before the spectator spoke again. "And his opponent, the only grozzly in our arena, Castro! You all remember him." He had said simply. Once more the crowd roared and the announcer began to fight. Castro rose up on his hind legs, his height increasing easily by three feet. He slammed back down and charged his opponent. He hadn't noticed the shield he weilded sadly and was met with a blow to the head. He hit the ground dazed but recovered quick enough to avoid a sword in him.
Wroters block. That sucked.))

Athena
"Go ahead, tell me that I'm not good enough. Tell me I can't do it. Because I'll show you over and over again that I can!"
A large, heavy chain was pushed past the lionesses head - her ears pressing her ears down for a split second, instantly she fel the beavy weight of the chain, although it wasn't as heavy for a beast with her structure. A long, chain-link leash was then attacked to one of the links and Athena was lead out of the blood stained ring. She was the second last fighter of the day and she believed she had done pretty well - killing one of her worst enemys sent a sense of pride through the lioness as she proudly stopped infront of the large door, which quickly rose up allowing light into the darkened room.
The lionesses shadow filled the dull-light room as she stood still at the door for a few seconds - being greeted but not with wordy, with glares from the other animals as they glanced in her direction. Crimson blood stained the felines fur, and since the light colour the stains were rather noticable although that didn't bother her. Muscles now relaxed and the lioness returning to her calm state she was quietly lead towards her large cage - Tyran giving the door one heavy thrust and it flew open. Unclipping the chain leash he patted the lioness "I'll bring your food soon.." he spoke, his familiar deep voice echoed. Slamming shut the door he locked it giving the lioness a reassuring smile and a dip of his head to say well done then hurried away.
Rotating her jaw a little - from the painful blow - it seemed to let out a sickening crack, a rush of pain was sent through but her jaw returned to its origional state. But the lionesses mind had been taken off herself for a moment as she watched a large creature exit its cage and enter the arena one she noticed as a Rhino but was unsure on the brutes name, she hadn't crossed paths with this beast before - but she would like to sometime. He seemed like a successful fighter just like herself.
Stepping back in her cage Athen began to pace around a little, sometimes across the cage or following around the circular pen she was regularly placed in. Stepping over the large bowl of water the lioness came to a sudden stop to the sound of a voice "I hear it was a good fight, miss?" a Cheetah had spoke from the neighbouring cage, turning she smiled and dipped her head "It sure was, about time Mokau got punished for his behaviour towards us animals" she growled a little - the humans name seeming to anger her. "Oh, so I believe he has been slaughtered?" Jakusi questioned tilting his head "He sure was" "Good, also good win Athena" he spoke "Thank you" she replied and the older feline seemed to drift off.
All seemed quiet in the caged area, most animals seeming to be asleep, watchign their surrounding or entertaining themselves somehow in their cages. Sighing, the muscular feline had glanced around for a moment - everything seemed quiet and calm, but the sudden roars of the crowd had broke the silence. Her meal was being prepared and would be done withing 20/30 mins which didn't really bother her. Taking a seat on her haunches Athena began grooming the blood from her pelt.

Castro's a bear if that's who you were talking about in your post. xux Also on my phone so this post may be short.))
Castro successfully rammed into the gladiator, sending him tumbling. Before he had another chance to strike Castro, Castro roose up once more and slammed down but the gladiator had already rolled out of the way. He grumbled and circled his opponent. His gaze shifted and he jumped forward again, knocking the man off his feet and this time successfully pinning him. He wasn't in the mood for a long dragged out fight so he gripped the gladiators helmet and pulled. After a couple minutes of tugging it gave way and his neck was revealed. He went for his neck after that and kept his grip. He kept hold till he was sure he was dead then backed off rising up. His muscles rippled beneath his thick brown pelt when he slammed bavk doen. "Castro is the winner!" A spectator said. He did a sort of roar and was led back into the holding area.

Ares was grooming his fur when Athena walked back into the room. "Good job." He nodded. He turned his attention to the bear, who was heading into the stadium. "Good luck." He soon heard the roar of the crowd, along with the announcer's voice. He turned his attention to Jakusi and Athena, who were talking about Mokau. "Good riddance. That guy deserved it!" Mokau had been cruel to the animals, hitting their cages and taunting them. "I'm so glad he is dead."

Jupiter
Jupiter watched as the Bear returned to his cage. Jupiter stood up and addressed the animals, "Guys! Did you all notice the humans building something on the side of the stadium? I think they are up to something!"

Erebus looked at Jupiter, "Really?" He stomped a heavy foot, and grunted. He looked at all the animals and ate some leaves.

[[Oh yeah, sorry!]]

Athena
"Go ahead, tell me that I'm not good enough. Tell me I can't do it. Because I'll show you over and over again that I can!"
The golden coloured lioness continued to clean her blood stained pelt, it had been a while since she had thought and she believed her fight had went rather well - despite killing one of her worst enemies she managed to escape the fight without any savere or deadly wounds, which was a bonus - many animals who thought in the statium often received wounds that could possibly injure them for life or even worse kill them. But, that wasn't something she had to worry about - although their deaths were sad in the ring she focused on herself, which most probably did.
Hearing the deep voice of Ares she turned her head, the large brutes white fur instantly standing out - it baffled her how the lion kept his fur so clean, she was pigmented tan and she herself found it rather hard keeping her light coloured fur clean, he seemed to do it with ease. Drawing her tongue back into her mouth she lowered her paw the the ground "Thank you, Ares." she replied with a quick dip to her head as she glanced back at the arena hearing the cheers. But the brutes deep voice got her attention once again. "So am I, he was a bitter man - being slaughtered done him good!" she growled, just thinking about him made her skin crawl and her snout the wrinkle. "I to am glad..." she agreed letting out a sigh.
For a moment Athena thought about what Jupiter had said, she was totally oblivious to what the humans had begun doing in the stadium - she was to focused on her fight, although something in the air seemed different. Curiosity filled the young cat as her head tilted for a moment, what could they be doing? She questioned herself, not like they needed to upgrade the arena or anything. Shaking her head she glanced at each animal before resting her gaze on Jupiter "What do you think they're doing?" she questioned pulling herself closer to the bars of her cage listening patiently and quietly.

Jupiter
Jupiter looked to Athena, "I don't know for sure, but the have a white blanket draped over so we can't see whatever is under there. But I know that it always hasn't been there. Maybe tomorrow when I fight I will try to see."
(Time skip to morning? The last fights are just gladiator vs. Gladiator)

I'll post later on. I'm fine with a time skip.))

Time skip to morning.

Jupiter
Jupiter woke up in his cage. He stood up and stretched. Cato, Jupiter's handler, entered with a rope. "Come on boy." He said, putting the rope over the tiger's head. Is it time to fight already? I don't hear any cheers or the announcer's voice. Then he saw other handlers take their animals and follow him What's going on? Jupiter wondered all the animals entered the stadium in single file. It was empty. The sun wasn't even up yet. They walked in front of the white cover Jupiter talked about yesterday.
"You were right." Erebus snorted, looking up at structure.
"Do you know what it is, Jupiter?" Said a cheetah. Jupiter shook his head. Suddenly the white cover fell to the ground. There were large cage-like structures, but made out of stone. Jupiter and all the animals were led to their own. As Jupiter entered one he looked up and saw a gold thing above the door marked Jupiter. He twitched his ear and walked inside. It was large with straw bedding, food and water. He had room to run, and could see outside through a small window. "I think I'm going to like it here."
"This is you new cage buddy." Jupiter smiled and lay down on the straw bedding and took in the room. It was made of huge stone blocks.
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj572/SAFootprint/Mammals%20of%20Southern%20Africa/White%20Rhinoceros/th_White_Rhinoceros_0005.jpg)
Erebus walked into his new cage, and it was huge! It had nice bedding, and a food and water trough. Fresh grass and hay along with sliced apples lay in his food trough, and fresh water was in his water trough. "I know I'm gonna love it here."
(Basicly everyone is moving into a much larger cage were you can run around and have nice bedding. There is a small window so you can see outside. You also have food and water troughs.

Ares was lead from his cage into the Arena. More animals were led in front of a large structure. The cover was removed and Ares was taken to a cage with Ares above it in gold. It was like paradise inside. He walked on straw bedding, and found a trough with zebra and bird meat inside. He then looked at his water trough, and it was pure water. He smiled and looked out his window. He got a view of the stadium. He smiled, "I already love it here!"

Athena
"Go ahead, tell me that I'm not good enough. Tell me I can't do it. Because I'll show you over and over again that I can!"
As soon as the conversation had ended Athena dozed off into a light sleep and soon enough it was morning. The clicks and clanks of metal caused the sleepy felines eyes to peel themselves open - still feeling rather heavy her stomach to still felt bloated from the Zebra carcass she had eaten that night. As Ana lifted her body from the ground and onto a sitting position she glared around still half asleep. Animals seemed to be getting lead from their cages and into the arena, what was going on? She questioned herself. Were the humans going to make them fight one another? That would just be stupid. Although, there was no explanation to why this was happening. But, like all she lazily lifted to her sturdy legs in the early hours and stalked towards the open gate of her cage.
Tyran standing waiting and easilly slipping the chain link collar onto the large lionesses neck - looking up at the human she tilted her head, asif to say "What the heck was going on?!" maybe he understood and maybe not - it was worth trying to find out. But all the muscular male had was a chuckle "You'll find out soon enough..." he spoke trailing off, but this only caused her to grow slightly aggiateted. Tyran wouldn't let anything bad happen to her right? She muttered to herself as her pads pressed against the cold ground and she was lead into the stadium.
Instantly, she noticed the line of animals and trainers standing infront of a large structure that seemed to be covered over sighing, Athena shrugged her broad shoulders and slumped over "About time." she mumbled mainly to herself. Still feeling exhausted and rather tired the lioness sat in line - on her haunches as she glared at the hidden structure. But when it was revealed it seemed to impress the lioness quite a bit.
The animals had now been given a larger cage where they were able to run, comfy beds and constant availability to both food and water. The smell of mean caused the lionesses mouth to water and her tail to slide across the floor - listing to her paws she watched as many of the animals rushed into their new cages. But, Athena came to a sudden halt and examined the large cage that had a golden platter with 'Athena' written on it. Why were they doing this now? Did they have something planned? Many questioned filled the lionesses head although - it was worth a try.
Running her wide tongue across her dry lips Athena turned around the glance at Tyran who had a huge smile on his face, tilting her head she shrugged and rolled her eyes - then letting out a quiet roar, drawing the brutes attention onto her. "Here you go." Ty spoke in his usual deep voice and pulled the chain over the lionesses head. Allowing a few purrs to ecape past her lips she scooted across the floors and entered into the larger cage - not only did they have a bed, food and water they were able to see outside. Hmmm. She thought - although she couldn't hang on these questions forever. Completely ignoring the food and water from her bowls Athena plopped herself down onto the straw bed - which was a lot more comfy that her previous on - although she did like it. Laying on her side she glanced around.

Jupiter
Jupiter heard talking and cheering outside and looked out his window. He saw the crowds spilling into the seats some pointing to the new cages and some made bets on the fights. Jupiter sat watching as the announcer's voice rang out across the stadium, "Welcome every Roman! Welcome the the Colosseum, We are here to watch animals and humans alike be thrown into battle. Please complete your bets and we will begin the first fight of the day, "Jupiter the Tiger versus Tailon the Gladiator." Jupiter sat up, and waiting for the gates of his cage to open.

Ares was grooming his fur when humans flooded the stadium. The announcer's voice boomed, "We have built new containment units for the animals, so they can actually see what's going on outside!" Ares watched as the humans betted on the fighters.

Jupiter
Jupiter was licking his lips as he was about to dig into his food trough when his gate to the arena opened. He walked infront of the gate, "Now for our first battle of the day, welcome Tailon the Gladiator into the stadium!" The crowd cheered as heavily armored man entered the ring, and raised his sword towards the sky. "Now, for the Beast of the east! Jupiter the Tiger!" The crowd cheered as Jupiter stepped into the light. The gladiator turned to him and yelled, "Come on cat!" Jupiter snorted and the Gladiator ran at him. Jupiter crouched and leapt at the Gladiator, slamming him into the ground and leaping off, landing a good four feet away. The announcer spoke, "Tailon is a retired captain of the Roman army. He will be a challenge for Jupiter if he's not prepared." I'm not stupid. Jupiter thought. Tailon lunged but Jupiter side stepped. The gladiator fell to the dirt and Jupiter was about to lunged for his throat but he rolled over. Jupiter looked up and the Gladiator yelled at him, "You want some milk kitty kitty?" (<- Narnia reference) Jupiter roared at the insult, and leapt at him. Tailon tried to sidestep but he was too late. Jupiter pinned him to the ground. Jupiter tried to claw his face but he blocked it was his shield. He knocked the shield away. He was about to go for the killing blow when a sharp pain hit his shoulder. He roared and clawed the Gladiator in the face. He screamed and the crowd cheered. Jupiter then used his claws to pull off Tailon's throat armor. He gasped and tried to push the Tiger off but Jupiter weighed three times as much as he did. He bit his throat and killed Tailon, "Jupiter wins!" The announcer yelled over the stadium. Jupiter limped towards his cage, and the gate closed behind him. He growled to whoever was fighting next, "Good luck.." He began licking his shoulder injury.

She watched the tiger fight. Amused, she waited for her turn to start while sitting in her cage. She laid on her side. She sure hated humans but was kind to animals. The hyena then saw a man toss meat in her cage. She sunk her canines in the meat, then ate some.

Erebus looked out through his little window and saw Jupiter the Tiger fighting a gladiator. He stuck his horn out through the window and it looked like a three foot spike sticking out the window. He backed up, taking his horn back in. He then walked over to his bed and lay down, occasionally nomming the hay.
