The Hundred Days Games
In the shadow of an empire reminiscent of ancient Rome, where the roar of the arena echoes through sprawling cities of marble and intrigue, a grand spectacle unfolds: the Hundred Days Games. This brutal tournament pits gladiators against one another in a relentless series of contests, where victory means fame, fortune, and freedom, while defeat often spells death or disgrace. The games are controlled by powerful lanistae—owners who train, buy, and sell fighters like prized livestock. Among them, the old guard, known as the Grey Circle, dominates with their wealth, alliances, and ruthless tactics, ensuring their champions rise while upstarts are crushed.
Into this world arrives Cassian, a man with no noble lineage, known only as “of nowhere.” Once a legendary soldier in the northern legions, Cassian earned the moniker “the Ghost” for his shadowy feats on the battlefield; missions where he vanished like mist, leaving enemies shattered and allies in awe. But the legions betrayed him: sent on a suicide assignment, denied his pay, and hunted as a thief when he took what was owed. With a price on his head, he fled south to the empire’s heart, using his remaining coin to buy a modest compound and establish himself as a lanista. His goal is simple yet audacious: build a stable of fighters, win the Hundred Days, and claim a fortune that will bury his past forever. Cassian is cunning, battle-hardened, and unyielding, with a code that values loyalty above all—traits that make him a wildcard in a game rigged by the elite.
The games are a whirlwind of politics and blood. Lanistae wager fortunes on matches, forge tenuous alliances, and scheme in opulent villas overlooking the sea. Rivals like the aging Gaius Varro, head of the Grey Circle, command vast resources, their champions seasoned killers with records of dozens of wins. Upstarts like Cassian must navigate bribery, sabotage, and private exhibitions; secret bouts where the powerful test fighters away from public eyes. The arena is a stage for glory, but the real battles happen in the shadows: poisoned wine, rigged weapons, and whispers of forbidden curses from distant lands.
Cassian enters the slave market on his first day, seeking a fighter to anchor his house. Amid the chained masses, one stands out: a Thracian princess, captured in war and enslaved after her kingdom’s fall. Towering at six feet, with bronze skin, emerald eyes, and wild black hair adorned with golden rings, she exudes the fierce beauty of a warrior queen. Her body is a masterpiece of strength and grace, toned muscles under soft curves, full breasts, and powerful legs that promise death in the sand. Clad in minimal crimson armor, she fights with twin blades in a style that is aggressive, fast, and masterful, blending offense and defense in a dance no one can match. Rumors swirl around her: undefeated in the pits, cursed by mountain gods in her youth, and priced at a fortune that has scared off all but the richest buyers. This is where our story begins.

If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading! In this story, I’m looking for my partner to fill the role of the Thracian princess. I typically write at a high casual to low advanced level, and if I’m in the mood, I’ll reply pretty often if I have the time! I will often communicate with my partner through OOC to keep ya in the loop.
This is an idea for a roleplay that I’ve had the idea for a while, and I wanted to make it‘a own dedicated interest check for it. I’m happy to tweak and details or change things to fit you, as long as we keep the main spirit of the story.
There will be action. There will be drama. There will be romance. There will be political intrigue and back stabbing. And there will be smut. It will be dark, gritty, and a damn good time.
If you’re interested, have any questions, or just wanna chat, hit me up! I do also have a general 1x1 interest check you can find on my profile that has a bit more information about me and what I’m about!
Thank you!
