Set in a alternate reality, much like our own, a few years after the invention of the Internet came the Full Body Online Machine (FBOM for short). The use of the FBOM? The FBOM makes the user go into the Internet fully with a alternate body, voice and almost everything. The creation of the FBOM caused many people to completely forget about the harshness of reality and stay on the Internet for most of their lives. The general freedom of the FBOM sparked many gameshows the most famous of which being Internet Gladiators. Internet Gladiators is largely based on the Gladiators of ancient Rome pitting people against creatures and other humans alike, the difference is that the contestants are payed, contestants don't die and the creatures are almost anything. Your character is a contestant who signed up for what looks to be one of the best seasons yet, in this season contestants are put into teams and will work together to defeat any enemies pitted against them. You know not what you will face, only the mysterious producer does.

Name: Zak Davis
Stage name: Sound Reaper
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Online Appearance:
Weapon:
Special ability: During battles, he will sometimes play a solo. If the solo is done correctly with zero interruptions, he swill smash his guitar on the ground creating a huge wave of hurting multiple enemies. During the solo, the head on his guitar's mouth will slowly open up. The more it opens, the higher the damage and the farther out the attack goes.
His guitar is almost unbreakable, and could take huge amounts of force pushed on it.
Bio: Zak has been playing this game for about 2 years, and is approaching his third. His first year was a rough one, he was constantly in near death situations, fighting against both monsters and players, and many times he had to run away. His sEcond year was when he kicked it up a notch. He trained by fighting weak monsters by himself. He did this for half a year before he started fighting against other people. The training against weak monsters paid off, as he was finally able to easily beat players around the same rank as him. He climbed through the ranks quickly, and is of today rank 37.

Theme:
Name: Jon Shannow
Stage name: Harlequin
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Online Appearance: Unnaturally tall, and without much muscle, giving the appearance of being stretched. His face is pale, his hair short, spiky and red, and his face handsome beneath stylized makeup. He is clothed in a skintight garment that has no direct color and forces the eyes away. when not seen directly, it color shifts and changes.
Weapon: A vast, single bladed war axe so large as to be comical, which Jon holds lightly in one hand. It is rough, grisly and stained with blood, providing a morbid counterbalance of Harlequins initial innocent, comical appearance
Special ability: When in movement, Harlequin's body shifts and changes subtly, his limbs becoming longer for a few instants, or his joints bending unnaturally far. His axe, too, bends physics in small ways, being able to become small enough not to obstruct a difficult maneuver, or lightweight and balanced enough to be juggled and spun
Bio: A gymnast in life, Jon was always fascinated with virtual reality, with it's potential for more extreme moves and perfectly prepared bodies. He experimented with a few, but none were of a high enough quality to satisfy. When a talent scout saw his skills in VR, he was offered a small time game, and he accepted it knowing that the Internet Gladiators had the best VRs. Now, a few games in, he has his own style and knows what he's doing.

NAME: John Shiloh
STAGE NAME: Stoneballa
AGE: 30
GENDER: Manly man.
APPEARANCE: Orange hair (don't call him a redhead), long-ish unkept hair, mutton chops, dangerously good looks, brown eyes, muscular, wears an unbuttoned overcoat (shirtless underneath of course), several belts, brown pants with a knife strapped to them, boots especially made for roundhouse kickings.
WEAPON: A large basket hilted claymore.
SPECIAL ABILITY: Quick movements and amazing reaction times, to give you an idea, he can count the number of times a hummingbird has flapped it's wings as it flies.
BIO: He's always had a passion for fighting, but until the invention of FBOM, has never been able to turn his passion into a career. His natural charisma and dashing good looks have won him the support of many a spectator, and with his recent spike in fame, he's become somewhat of a sex symbol, gracing the cover of many a dirty magazine.
He's somewhat vain, with a soft spot for the small and stupid. He's quite the ladies man, and occasionally has to lay low for extended periods of time for fear of meeting the buisness end of an angry father's shotgun, or an even worse fate... MARRIAGE.
THEME: Entrance of The Gladiators, slowed down and slightly distorted.
ALSO: Can't swim, can't dance, will go to extreme lengths to maitain his looks.
