cue theme music
In tonight's episode, the contestants will be battling it out in the gladiator arena in order to see who will advance to the next round, the finals, where it will be decided who will be pulled out of their trashy situation and become part of the emperor's private guard! But first, a quick message from our sponsor.

Do you live in a fancy fairy-tale castle? You probably don't you stupid pleb, but that's beside the point, we're going to market to you anyways. So are you tired of having to live in such a large space with so few people actually close to you? No? What do you mean no? Shut up idiot, stop interrupting our advertisement. Anyways, what you need is FINDHER! What's Findher you ask? It's a magical dating tool that will help you find that special someone. But it isn't like other magical dating tools - our customizable settings will help YOU find the perfect person, whether it be your Prince Charming or your ideal Eldritch Abomination. It's easy! Just tell the staff your preferences, and it will point you right to your ideal guy, gal, or the cosmic-horror monster of your dreams! There are lots of hot single Eldritch beings near you, it's just a matter of finding them. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

So introducing our three contestants!*
We have Brutus! He's rich, he's mean, and his ego's about the size of his dad's empire, emphasis on the dad part because that is who the credit here should be attributed to!

*they have new names for the purpose of me not getting them confused with my characters from my other story lol

Brutus: Yeah, my parents were so great. My dad was a great military general and he - I mean, uh, I took over like half of a continent and made an entire empire only by myself which is pretty great. I fought on the front lines with my troops and I really know the glory of battle, unlike all of these plebs. I'm more qualified to be at the side of the emperor because I mean I helped expand his empire, so I don't know why he didn't just give the position to me, but whatever. What do you mean, your thumb is supposed to go on the outside of your fist? Shut up, you don't know anything about fighting anyways.

We've got Alistaire! The former child of a swordsmith and a farmer who accidentally killed his family and their subsequent businesses when he accidentally burned down the armory while apprenticing under his father.

Alistaire: Yeah, it's been rough since the accident, I've resorted to doing some other mercenary and sellsword work, but I don't like talking about that. I've also been getting some work doing stuff for some of the aristocrat families, but that's classified because I think it might be illegal, because I the stole documents from the Dursk family for - oh shit

And last but not least, we have Cerys! Born to two aristocrats, she ended up on the streets early in life due to her family being murdered.

Cerys: I had to leave my family's castle early on because my parents were killed. I ended up being somewhat of a street urchin, and I survived by pickpocketing and swindling people out of money. I recently had an opportunity to accompany a prominent figure on an adventure, but I got kicked off of the team because I tried to stab him to death after I couldn't deal with his ego anymore. I tried, whatever I guess.
