Inspired by the old RP "Innocence of the Damned" by SatelliteRave, and the Coal Cellar from the first book of the series "Keys to the Kingdom"
Plot
For multiple reasons, the King's soldiers have been bringing people to the Asmothia Dungeons, or known more as simply "The Pit" aptly named by the prisoners. These prisoners have either been wrongly accused of crimes, or have been sent there for reasons unknown. In any case, they are kept there by the guards of the prisons, who keep careful watch over the prisoners, making sure the prisoners do their work each day, mining coal for what they would assume to be the rest of their life.
The outer parts of the Pit are reserved for the least "Dangerous" of the inmates, having slightly more privileges than those closer to the center. The closer to the center of the pit, the more dangerous the prisoners are, but at the very center lies the "Primordial", a being the pit was designed for, who was deemed the most dangerous of all the prisoners according to the "Third Men" of the empire, the ones who run the Pit. Up to this point neither prisoner or guard have dared to go near him. Despite those towards the center being deemed more dangerous, half of them are those who are the most threat to the empire, whether it being a mass murderer, or someone with too many smarts for the empire to worry about.
After many, many years of enslavement the prisoners of the pit have grown more and more tired of their life in the pit, however the Pit's defenses seem to be too high to penetrate up to this point, as the people of the surface have no idea what goes on in the Pit. Many lives have already been taken in the attempt at freedom from the hell hole of the Pit, those most are in vain up until this point, prisoners practically throwing themselves on the blades of the guards of the Pit. Due to this fact, the Pit has been thought to be inescapeable, however there has been no tried and true escape plan, and the men and women of the pit seem to start becoming smarter and more and more eager to escape into the light of day once more.

Name: Garret Greenway
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Race: Cambion
Role: Guard
Appearance: Garret wears the regular guard ensemble of a mixture of leather and steel armor, worn to protect against prisoner attacks, with a sheath for one of the standard steel swords the guards use. He has two large bat wings sprouting out of his back, along with two black horns sprouting from beneath his shaggy black hair. He has deep reddish-brown eyes which seems to compliment the similar color of his wings. Garret looks a bit younger than what he is as he has a lithe, yet muscular stature and very pale skin from being one of the "more experienced" guards of the pit, which has also become his home as well.
Personality: Garret appears usually as a calm, content individual, who is almost viewed as the only "Good cop" of the Pit by the prisoners, but he isn't afraid to put any of them down, despite how nice he may seem to be on the outside. On the inside he, too grows tiresome of needing to end so many lives each day he works in the Pit, and is growing bitter with the King's rule.
Abilities/Talents: Garret can use his wings to the full extent, able to fly around the pit, overseeing all of the prisoners to make sure they stay in line. He also has extraordinary speed and skill with the blade, even for a guard.
Backstory: Garret was born into a family on a small village on the outskirts of the King's city. His mother soon disowned him, too embarrassed to raise a child of a demon any longer. The men and women of the streets took care of him, showing him the ropes of society, and how to survive on the streets. At the age of 15 he had bid the city farewell, and traveled to the city. He spent an entire year in the city, building a small network of people to help him survive the city. After turning 16 one of colleagues told him the King was searching for new guards for the Pit. Garret took up the opportunity, having his colleague put in a good word for him, and he eventually got the job. The first two years were training. Most guards took 3 years to train, but with his naturally born skill with the blade and relentlessness when it came down to it, he had been able to graduate within two years. After this, he was assigned to between the inner and outer parts of the pit, to make sure inmates are kept in check from the air. As he had no where else to go, he also lives in the Pit along side the prisoners themselves.
Other: None.
Name: Tecira Riel
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Race: Nephilim
Role: Prisoner
Appearance: Tecira wears the ragged pants and tunics of most of the prisoners, worn from the years of work. She has slightly curly long scarlet red hair, to match her piercing golden eyes. Despite having a "Girly" stature, she is slightly muscular from the cruel years of the Pit.
Personality: Despite her long years of the pit, her will has not yet been broken, and she usually acts very seriously to everything. Instead of being broken by the pit she has instead been hardened by it, readily able to metaphorically combat almost anything it throws at her.
Abilities/Talents: Tecira is a very athletic individual, and is able to conduct strategies for almost any type of situation in the blink of an eye. She is also one of the few brave individuals of the Pit as well. Backstory: Tecira was one of the few to be born in the Pit, raised by a single mother, helped through the Pit by angelic influence. Tecira grew alongside her mother, who taught her to trust no one but herself, as trust was a weapon in itself. After 14 long years with her mother, the girl's mother died of illness, unable to go on for any longer in the pit. This hardened Tecira even further, as she then learned that death was always a threat to not be taken lightly. From then on, she trusted nearly no one, and never built any true bonds with the people of the Pit, prisoner or guard.
Other: None.

OoC// Very interesting plot you have here, ! I'm having a problem deciding on whether to bring in a brand spanking new character, or having Rous participate, tacking on more adventures to his history. What do you think?
We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say
"Kiss my Irish ass! ya better kiss my Irish ASS!"
OOC: ((I've decided myself to bring in two relatively new characters of my own into this, but it's up to you if you want Rous to be in it or not, . It could be interesting to see how he might integrate into the RP.))

OoC// He shall be brought in, along with another character! Problem now is deciding how long before the 'Jester's legacy' this is taking place....
I'll figure it out later, feel free to pitch ideas! I'm off to sleep for now, I'm beat from both work and the lack of sleep.
We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say
