Futuristic Gladiators, I Salute You!

The Final Age born from The Final Battle

Humanity brought itself to the cusp of extinction, just shy of The Old Blood’s eradication, near the breaking point to make way for The New Flesh.

Nuclear Holocaust and Hydrogen Catastrophe at the hands of the Greedy and the Powerful, the Proud and the Ignorant. The Elitist Ones who sealed the fate of all others beneath them, were some of the few to survive the Aftermath of their failure.

From the ashes of such a disgrace, they birthed a new Empire, under the claim and guise of change. They called themselves Serf’s, indentured only to The People. They promised to be better for our sakes. They failed.

Though the Utopian society they forged in the heart of Europia assumed prominence as the decades waged on, history is forever doomed to repeat itself in the eyes of one’s personal gain. Civil uprising is looming as the New Flesh and Old Blood raise hell against one another. And the Inequalities of flesh and metal spurned hatred against those that construct the laws that consigned many fates to The Colosseum.

Both Glatorian and Lawbreaker alike are drawn to battle in that wretched domain, fighting with weaponry composed of light itself. Though the odds of survival for the former were far more likely than that of the latter. The Lawless were seen as evil, deserving of such a public death, that their lives might share worth only in providing entertainment to the masses and the Serf’s. Glatorian’s were celebrities, warriors of brave and noble heart that contended to please the masses, and ascend the ranks that their name would be cemented in Gold. Should the Lawbreakers find victory, life was their reward. Whereas the Glatorians were anointed in riches and fame. Freedom would be denied to both.

The only way of getting out of that life, was in death.

AFTERWORD:

Right so, hello there! This whole idea is kinda spurn of the moment but the general gist of it is fighting as a mixture of Gladiators and Prisoners both of Human, Cyborg, and Mechanoloid origin. Humans are commonly referred to as Old Blood, and Cybernetics is referred to as The New Flesh. Discrimination goes both ways, though Cyborgs tend to be in the middle ground but there are some that consider them abominations. While the main focus is obviously the Glatorian battles, the subtext of racial tension and bias will linger, as will the developing politics of the Serf’s and their various policies.

I’m still working out some kinks and ideas so feel free to leave any questions or expressions of interest down below!

Q: What's the level of technology?
A: Technology will be on the advanced side of things! As far as the Gladiators and their weaponry, it’ll be lightsabers on steroids essentially as any form of Melee weapon can be made in this fashion. From flails to axes, whip, you name it. Armor is gonna take inspiration from TRON, as it’ll be dominantly black, grey, or white, with these vibrant colors adorning it as an accent.

Interested. What's the level of technology? Is it something in the ways of post-apocalyptic ad-hoc creations made from old-world tech? Or something else?
