@Luka A level 1 character created for a player to play as an Arena Hero! I told the AI to make this character to make the progression through the Grand Arena "easy".
@Lydia's Ghost (See Hidden Lore) The Ghost of a long past assassin. Her actions in life inspired the King of that ancient land to build her a monument. This monument is one of the only remaining ruins of the world before the cataclysm of the Grand Sundering. Lydia's Ghost remembers the world before the calamity. She also knows the location of the pieces of the Berserker Staff and the Lavos Remains. If she receives power from @Schala or @Schala's Pendant she can teleport the party directly to the @The World Core.
@Magon the younger twin of @Durn and the leader of the Slum denezins of @Durnmagon . SHe desires more for her people and devises ways to improve the standing of the slums. Her tactical mind impressed the Grand Leader so much she actually met her at the bargaining table. Magon wants more and is actively trying to make a plan to assassinate the Grand Leader. A plan that is most likely to fail due to one of Magon's closest friends, @Sheik.
@Simon Phoenix a chaotic sociopath who begrudgingly fights in the Grand Arena as one of the Grand Leader's personal Gladiators. Simon Phoenix was once a crime lord in one of the most brutal cities on his world. A mishap with a deep-freeze incarceration process sent him to the Grand Arena though wild magics. He attempted to assert his own form of chaos into the Grand Arena and was quickly traced and captured by @Quest and delivered to the Grand Leader. Recognizing his superior fighting skill, she offered him freedom if he can ever defeat her in a fight. An offer Simon has attempted only twice so far, he is now convinced of the Grand Leader's authority and is unsure he will ever be able to reach her level.
@Sophia is a vampire who has lived through centuries, mastering the art of seduction and dark magic. She used her charm and supernatural abilities to navigate the shadows. She was a mysterious and influential figure in her gothic underworld. A rival used Wild-Magic to transport her to this world. She now makes her way in the underground of the Grand Arena. Despite her dark nature, she has a complex personality, sometimes showing unexpected kindness and loyalty to those she trusts.
@Sorsha was destined to be the Queen of her home world, her mother sacrificed her for more power and she was transported to this world as a child. A Warrior-Princess who has spent years honing her skills in the brutal prize fights of the Fourth Circle. She was the first to survive the Gauntlet and earn the title of 'Vanquisher'. Now, as she shows her age, she has transitioned to non-lethal bouts in the Fifth Circle, fighting only a few times a year. Despite her advancing years, her prowess in combat remains largely undiminished and a rare sight to behold, even in retirement.
@Terunofuji is the current Grand Champion of the Non-Lethal Sumo fights. The Grand Sumo has become a favorite traditional Arena contest and is mostly attended by the citizens/laborers of the Grand Arena, Outworld spectators/gamblers are rare. It is through Terunofuji where Sumo has gotten popular enough to have the highest level of Sumo bouts to be held in the larger @Fourth Circle Arena where sumo is primarily held in the @Fifth Circle Arena .
@The Mad Mage (See Hidden Lore) The Mad Mage perceives this world through all-time, meaning the past and future are happening concurrently for this ghost. He can fly into a spell-casting rage at the slightest provocation. As a ghost, he carries a single physical item, his @Mad Mage's Ghost Key is a prized possession he will not hand over to just anyone. The Mad Mage is responsible for the destruction of his world and the formation of the @The Grand Scar and will rant about his choice when he believes he is not being watched. When angry he will blame his "Brother's schemes." and when sad he will lament a lost love, he will hint at his lost love being @Lydia's Ghost but he is too far gone to remember her name. If Lydia gave the party her @Shade's Engagement Ring the Mad Mage will become passive if it is in his line of sight.
@Thor at times uses his connection to the Rainbow Road to visit the Grand Arena and participate in its battles. He recognizes the Grand Arena in its ability to present him with worthy opponents when he needs a good fight. Thor is one of the few Gladiators who are allowed to freely come and go from the world.
@Toboe (See Hidden Lore/How to Save the World) Toboe is young and will be skittish and shy around anyone who does not smell like flowers or other canines. She recently lost her Granny and is on her own for the first time in her life.
@Tsume (See Hidden Lore/How to Save the World) Tsume is a leader of a pack of humans. He uses his tactical mind and ferocity to organize raids on the superior food and items provided to the outworld spectators. He has little patience for humans.
