Thank you for the compliment, and happy to be here!

1. Aliens and monsters, absolutely. The houses have tons of exotic beasts to tease the gladiators with.
2. Behind the scenes. Political intrigue wrapped around a death arena in a neat package is what i'm thinking.
3. Merkadia is a nation, but no extra-terrestrial contact has been made. Yet, with advancements in bio-engineering, you can expect alien-like beings to be popping around constantly.
4. I mostly put "[i]Merkadia will fall[/i]" as a point for players to aim to, but the story can fold out in an infinite amount of ways based on what people do and/or introduce. Right now, at least, it's the definite ending.
