Sand and Glory - A Gladiator RP

Cynbel won't be able to pass up the opportunity either, though I doubt I'll get a chance to post today.

“That I am. I was careless for a moment whilst scavenging and they seized the opportunity to rob me.” James slowly lifted his t-shirt revealing the already gruesome looking bruising the baseball bat had given him. “They left me alive, which is something I guess, but by taking everything I had on me they may as well have just killed me anyway... The elder man took the magazine from my rifle but for some reason the dumb bastard didn't have me clear the chamber. I was lucky, and I'm reasonably skilled with my weapons, but I can't take down three armed people with one bullet. I need your help. Please, help me and I'll give you a couple of cans of food and a bottle of water from the supplies they stole from me. All I wish is the remainder of my stuff, whatever else they have is yours. For your trouble I make the fight even, three on three. If we're quiet they shouldn't pose too big a challenge, though the gunshots may bring walkers or more aggressors so we'll have to be quick about it. Are you in, or should I resume my ill fate?”

Sand and Glory - A Gladiator RP

His homeland was still at the very forefront of his thoughts. He missed it dearly, he missed his people, he missed the land, he missed the women and he especially missed plunging his sword into the Centurum invaders. He had personally killed many of the invading soldiers and had seen many more killed at the hands of his brothers and sisters in arms, but that didn't change the horrific fact that he had seen more of his own people fall to the Empire than in any act of warfare he recalled in history. The bastards would simply not stop coming. Every man they killed seem to be replaced by three more. As hard as they had fought and as much as he had believed in their cause it was clear now that defeat had been inevitable. Upon reaching Maro and being sold he discovered that his peoples fate was not a rare one. There were warriors from every corner of the globe, most being taken from their lands as prisoners of war and being sold off somewhere down the line. He didn't yet understand why the warriors were valued though, in his land they killed the opposing warriors following defeat; they did not make good slaves, most being too strong willed or too proud.

For that reason Cynbel could not understand why for as long as he had been in Maro he stood among only warriors, each and every one of them being advertised for sale. It was a strange thing indeed. Then came the man whom was to buy him. He had the look of a warrior himself, although aged and likely retired from battle. Cynbel didn't hold the man in high regard, presently he held no man in high regard, not in these lands anyway. There was one half decent thing about being purchased however, the fact that they would need to travel to the buyers premises. Cynbel had spent too long standing around doing nothing, a little bit of a walk was something he had grown to desire, almost pitifully. The walk in itself wasn't all that bad, outside of the actual city Maro wasn't too horrible a place, although the landscape was too dry and open. Too open to make escape feasible. Instead Cynbel simply tried to enjoy the walk and take in the land, maybe it would be of use later on.

Eventually they seemed to be approaching their destination; a large villa built right on the edge of a cliff. Even Cynbel could not deny the allure of the place, but to say he wanted to spend the rest of his life there as a slave was far from the truth. He would not in this life or the next, the thought sprang his hatred up a notch. They were soon escorted through the gates of the villa where they were made to line up in what was seemingly the courtyard. Amazingly there was no wall facing the cliff in the courtyard, this immediately made Cynbel wonder whether anyone had ever been thrown off of it. With the way the Empire treated people he thought it probable. The man who had purchased him was now present, along with another man and woman. Cynbel anticipated being told why he was there, he did not like lacking knowledge.

Bio: Cynbel was born in Britain and raised a warrior Celt. From a young age he took to life joyfully, soon growing prideful of his people and culture. Where Cynbel really flourished was tribal warfare, he loved the excitement, renown and prizes that often spawned from his peoples victories and soon lived only to further his clans way of life. That's not to say he was a brute though, he loved his people as a whole, it was simply that them trying to destroy and gain advantage on one another was a part of who they were. A part that for a long while Cynbel loved. When the Empire invaded Britain Cynbel took tremendous joy in seeing his people unite, and felt tremendous pain as they were slowly crushed under the Empires legion.

He fought for as long as he could, being injured more than once whilst doing so but eventually he and his raiding party fell. He looked up at the soldier, ready to die. He wasn't killed though, only knocked unconscious. When he awoke he was on a Legion ship, bound and headed directly to Maro to be sold. Despite looking for every opportunity to break free and join his people in the afterlife by way of fighting Cynbel just didn't find chance and was soon lined up for selling with many other slaves. Early one morning a man came by; Canis Borrel. He looked over the slaves, looking each in the eyes in a way that made Cynbel believe he could stare through them into the soul. Whether it was the obvious battle scars or the anger and hate burning in his eyes Cynbel was purchased for some reason, a reason he does not care to know as of yet.

It's annoying, it makes more sense to watch season two first but you can't without a major spoiler. Mofo's. And I agree, Andy Whitfield was an awesome Spartacus.
