Dorado City 2nd Global Gladiator Tournament

The Dorado City Global Gladiator Tournament is a worldwide fighting tournament that takes place in Dorado City every 5 years. The tournament used to happen over 100 years ago but recently returned, now with a prize of 1,000,000 gold, enough for anyone to live easy for the rest of their lives. Not much is known about the first tournament other than the winner being Daemon, a returning contestant.

## Notable contestants

Marcus Freeman

Marcus uses a rare chi based fighting style learned by his master and alongside Aaron Wright. He and Aaron were friendly rivals but split paths a long time ago and reunited at the tournament. After they split, Marcus ended up being forced to work for the Lombardi Crime Syndicate because of debts that his father built up. Marcus hopes to escape his family debt by winning the tournament so he doesn’t have to live a life of crime anymore. He was born in the outerlands and his family moved to Dorado when he was young. Marcus became the winner of the 2nd global gladiator tournament by defeating Daemon in the finals.

Aaron Wright

Aaron was born from a rich family but was kicked out until he learned how to make something of himself. From there he trained with Marcus to learn how to fight. While he is mainly here to meet with Marcus, winning would also mean he’d be able to return to his family. Aaron comes from Astasia. Aaron made it to the semi finals and lost to Daemon

Mamiya Argosy

Mamiya is a young girl who goes to one of the most prestigious schools in the world, The Sage’s academy in the Capital of Astasia. However she took a break from her posh life to explore the world. She learned how to fight from a multitude of different teachers as her parents wanted her to be prepared for any danger. She entered the tournament mostly because it seems fun. She comes from Astasia. Mamiya made to the quarter finals but lost to Tarzun

Antonio Aguilar de la Frontera

Antonio is a long time member of the Lombardi Crime Syndicate, however he isn’t as cruel as the rest of them. He is the leader of Disciplinary Squad C, which was made up of him, Marcus, and an unnamed third member who died. They were tasked with finding those who went against the gang. Antonio was a master of fencing and was so fast and precise that he could avoid any vital areas. He joined the tournament to support Marcus in leaving the crime organization. Antonio was born in Dorado. He made it to the quarter finals but lost to Marcus.

Daemon

Daemon is a powerful chi user of unknown origins. He showed up to the tournament last year and carved his way to victory. Many of his fights were said to lead to the opponents death. Daemon never has time to show off or play around and tries to finish every match in the least amount of hits as possible, with many of his fights being only 1 hit. It is even said that Daemon threw the money away after the last tournament, meaning he probably only fights for the sake of battle. Daemon lost in the finals against Marcus.

Tarzun

A monster is all that Tarzun could be called. Raised in the jungles of Phlorita by wild animals but was taken by mad scientists from Talos who experimented on him to make him a weapon. They entered him into the tournament to test his abilities with great success as Tarzun ripped through all of his opponents before he was stopped by Marcus in the semi finals.

Tachi and Kodachi

Tachi and Kodachi come from the Ryujin Clan. The clan itself, while big, isn’t quite as developed as the rest of the world. They sent one of their best fighters, Tachi, along with his best disciple, Kodachi, to secure funds for the clan. Tachi and Kodachi use techniques similar to ninjitsu with quick deciding blows to weak spots. Tachi brought Kodachi so that she can experience the outside world. Kodachi lost in the first round to Chuck from Orion’s Belt and Tachi lost in the quarter finals to Aaron.

Visus and Buzzard

The duo come from a band of outlaws called The Wake. Buzzard being the leader and Visus being their most skilled dead shot. Their plan was to pretty much either win or steal the money. They had an elaborate scheme planned but after conflict with Goldbeard’s crew they were unsuccessful. Visus lost to Daemon in the second round and Buzzard lost to Goldbeard in the first round.

Goldbeard

Goldbeard is often called a one man army due to his arsenal he keeps on him along with his large stature. He is the most feared pirate in the seas. And his plan for the tournament was similar to that of the Wake’s, but the plan was to steal it from the start. With the same result of a conflict between the gangs alerting the Dorado military and both sides having to pull back. Goldbeard is often near Aetherius, however some say his origins hail from Astasia. Goldbeard made it to the second round and lost to Aaron Wright.

Rev

A mysterious young man that keeps a giant tooth sword with him. The tooth is an unbelievable size and seemed almost unwieldy, however he seemed to be able to hold it easily. Despite this, he hardly ever used it during the tournament and opted to use a grappling style. It was only used defensively. Rev came to the tournament after hearing a rumor that it might have a connection with the rift. Rev supposedly comes from Astasia. He lost to Daemon in the quarter finals.

Elena Realis

many would call her a fool to enter a tournament at her age. She was only likely 16 at the time. However she managed to make it through the prelims using her advanced magic. While pure magic is banned from the tournament, she was able to incorporate it into a fighting style that made her not only efficient, but versatile. She came for the same reason as other’s like Rev or Orion’s Belt did, because dark magic might be involved with the tournament. Elena comes from Aetherius. Though she had incredible potential, she still managed to lose to Titus in the first round.

Titus

A brutish man with unnaturally large muscles. His veins were an off color. Truth is that he had been modifying his body using magic. He became addicted to power and pushed his body to the limits. He entered the tournament to display his power. Titus was defeated by Rev in the second round.

Orion’s Belt

3 members from Orion’s Belt showed up after learning about the supposed Rift connection that the tournament has. These members were Chuck, Anna, and Frank. Chuck lost to Tarzun in the second round. Anna lost to Tachi in the second round quickly in order to get back at Orion’s Belt for taking out his disciple in the first round. Frank was defeated by Fenrin in the first round.

Andre

Andre comes from Phlorita and grew up in the crime filled slums that plagued the entire country. He hopes to amass funds to help those in need throughout the nation. His style is similar to that of Muay Thai, which his tall and lanky limbs improve. He lost to Marcus in the second round.

Aarav

a fortune teller and master of chi that comes from Bishmar. Aarav felt he was losing his fortune telling abilities when he finally got a premonition. All it told him to do was go to the tournament. He lost in the first round to Marcus. At first he wondered why he was brought to the tournament. That was until he realized that it was fate that brought him to Marcus. Although Marcus was strong, his techniques weren’t refined. His potential was high but he needed more tutelage. Aarav found that his reason for being here wasn’t to win, but to guide Marcus to victory.

Galahad and Fenrin

Galahad and Fenrin were both members of the Astasian military but came for different reasons. Fenrin was merely there for greed. Galahad was there for more. Galahad was supposed to be the next head knight, but it was taken from him by Eric Herrscher. He joined the tournament to prove that he should be the head knight and would give all of the money to the military. Fenrin lost in the second round in a sword fight against Antonio. Galahad lost in the first round against Rev, which happened to be Eric’s actual rival.

Zinsky

Zinsky was a champion fighter from Kronos and has a rivalry with Steel Mike. Zinsky was more of a wrestler and used grabs and stylish moves. He had a large frame and easily stood out from any average person. Although he was more popular than steel Mike, he still saw him as a rival in terms of skill, not fame. It was nearly impossible to challenge Mike to a fight back in Kronos, but he saw this as an opportunity to fight him. Zinsky ended up losing in the second round against Mamiya.

Steel Mike

Mike is also a champion fighter from Kronos like Zinsky. A brawler fighter that delivered powerful and swift blows in quick succession. He mostly kept to himself and wasn’t as flashy as Zinsky, so he wasn’t as popular. He never tried to stand out much. He only joined the tournament so that he could feed the lower class people of Kronos, where he grew up. Mike truthfully looked up to Zinsky, and was shocked to find that Zinsky had seen him as a rival. Though their match in the tournament was never realized as he was mortally wounded by Tarzun in the first round.

Renzo

Renzo was a member of the Lombardi Crime Syndicate and was the leader of Disciplinary Squad A, which comprises of only himself. He is their top guy to send against traitors of the organization and he was sent to make sure that Marcus doesn’t win. He ended up losing in the first round against Antonio, who was there to protect Marcus.

Evangelina

Mamiya’s friend. Her father was one of Mamiya’s martial arts instructors. She joined after finding out that Mamiya would be there. She learned quite a bit from her father and it helped her get through the prelims. Evangelina was defeated quickly in the first round by Daemon.

Rory and Rei

twins that compete with each other with everything. This motivation led them to become great at whatever they did. However they weren’t great enough as they were both wiped out in the first round. Rory was defeated by Mamiya and Rei was defeated by Zinsky.

Gargar

a Neanderthal man who fought off some poachers in the outerlands and was captured by a third party to fight in the tournament. He lost first round against tachi

Cyrene

a woman who uses a bow and techniques similar to those used by those in Orion’s Belt. However she apparently has no association. She got into the tournament very easily. No one was able to touch her during the prelims. However once she got into the tournament, she seemed to have given up during the first around and lost against Aaron Wright. Her true identity is The Huntress.

Bruce

a fighter from the slums of Dorado where most people are stuck and are nearly unable to move away from. He joined the tournament in order to escape his shitty life. He uses a style similar to boxing. Bruce lost first round against Anna.
