“THAT is a lovely necklace!”  Aurora exclaimed.  The radiant sapphires stood out immediately to her eye, and likely to many passing thieves as well.  Clearly the woman needed the protection of Aurora’s armed escort.  She touched the woman’s arm and drew her in closer.  “You simply must tell me which of these vendors you purchased it from!”

BACKGROUND

Kol Mikaelson – the ORIGINAL Kol Mikaelson, that is– was a brilliant and often-misunderstood scientist who created large swaths of the code and therapy needed to create the hosts in Romeworld. Spurred by science and the concept that he would live forever in a way, Kol allowed his image to be used when building the first android, also named Kol, who shared absolutely everything with the scientist –– down to his fingerprints. When the good doctor passed away, his image lived on in Kol, and his only stipulation was that the android never be imbued with his consciousness. He was a HOST, through and through, and the new Kol could never be anything more than that.

PAST STORY LINES

HIS FIRST STORYLINE – and Romeworld’s very first storyline – was a very small plot involving the only five androids created, and lasted for two years. The androids were all family – siblings, in fact, and were programmed as the children of Hecate. Guests traveled with the siblings through the city that they owned as ROYALTY, stopping coups, foiling plans against them, and ultimately offering the guest a taste of the decadent underbelly of the cults of Rome. The storyline was disbanded after more androids were made to accommodate more and more diverse stories.

Kol was made into a gladiator in his second storyline, and he has stayed in the Coliseum ever since. In his second storyline, the gladiator was used mainly to fight with the more daring guests who wanted to put themselves into the action. His story was expanded to include escape attempts after several years in the Coliseum.

Kol grew up poor, one of six siblings, in the country side of Rome.  His youngest brother was killed when Gauls invaded their lands.  His father, Mikael, then tried to sacrifice his siblings to Mars so that the god of war would take favor on Mikael and give him the strength to defeat all Gauls.  Kol and his siblings fled to Rome where they attempted to engage guests in helping them to defeat their father.  This story line was discarded after two months.  It was difficult for guests to believe in the illusion that they, with no battle experience, could defeat a seasoned warrior such as Mikael who took his children down with ease but turned inept when faced with a guest.  ( from @ladamedemartel​ )

Kol was a fearsome and effective gladiator, gaining a reputation among the fabricated reality of Romeworld and with guests themselves as being a capable protector and a fighter who very rarely lost. His stars crossed with AURORA, the emperor’s daughter, with whom he would entreat guests to assist in their escape from the city together. This storyline lasted twenty-two months and was particularly-popular with honeymooning guests. It was ultimately scrapped because Kol and Aurora’s loyalty had been coded too ferociously, and the lovers often chose death over offering themselves physically to guests for assistance in escape. The storyline often ended in Kol’s unceremonious death in the arena – sans weapon – and Aurora’s execution by her father’s hand.

CURRENT STORY LINE

Kol is a fierce gladiator who has never lost, but before he was taken from his home far from Rome, he was a scientist and a brother. While he is undoubtedly excellent at what he does, he is consumed with the dream of FREEDOM once more, and entreats guests to facilitate in his escape. He is known for his roguish looks and war-weathered manners, and has a reputation for having a tongue as sharp as his sword. Female guests relish the thrill of helping him escape – and the gratitude he shows after – and male guests often test their own strength against his, and abuse the safeguards to kill him, relentlessly, over and over. When he is free, he often aids in storylines which aim to overthrow the current government in Rome, favoring anarchy to the status quo

CONNECTIONS

@ladamedemartel - formerly his lover until their storyline was rewritten. sometimes, he catches the princess’ eye in the coliseum and is struck to find that she’s crying while watching the gladiatorial matches. when kol glitches, often it is in relexive defense of aurora, or finding himself with the uncontrollable and inexplicable urge to get to the princess by any means, taking no stock of his own life in the process.

@fiercerebekah - unwittingly the descendant of the original Kol Mikaelson. Recognizes Kol, though he does not know her, nor does he understand the significance of her presence on his life or identity. bio graphic made by @fiercerebekah

@fiercerebekah​ ~ liked for a gv thing

 turning towards the woman who just sat next to him he offers her a small smile. like an easy flow, natural. whatever is natural. he hesitates before it’s fully there on his face. more welcoming. he slides the untouched drink he has in his hand towards her. an offer of hospitality as it should be. “the least I can do for your company.” like a compliment between strangers. he waits for her response, his eyes going over her face like he’s committing something to a memory he won’t have. but it’s all a pattern for him. 

[amongthcwreck-a]

he can tell stories of wars he fought in, victories and losses. centurion, a man of war. not a criminal. but there’s a mar on the glory. he likes to tell stories of that time. but he’s fallen. charged and sold into a house of gladiators. and he does well for himself, brutal and savage, he likes the fight. no, he loves the fight. compliment him on his skill and he’ll call you a friend. offer him a chance at freedom and he’ll either be loyal to you or balk at it. the open rebellion interests him int he sense of a fight, freedom though is sweet to everyone’s hears. he feels the end of his time in arena looming. it’s either death or retirement. he’s not sure which he’d prefer. he’s usually training or drinking, hanging around the brothel. always ready to provide a good story or a fight. 

connections ( is this a thing for a host??)

Aurora didn’t know who the woman was, but if she dark-haired girl was seated in the Emperor’s box, she had to be important.  Aurora smiled at the guest as she took her own seat to watch the spectacle that was about to unfold.  “Good afternoon.”  she said with a smile toward the stranger.  “Are you excited for the match this afternoon?”

He's actually in a rather nicer mood today given being here after one year away. It feels more like home than the corporate world he's resigned himself to. Klaus also knows that he should come back all the time the way Rebekah does and yet he wonders if that'll make it all lose some thrill. But today had been filled with thrill. The violence, the bloodshed of taking this villa near the Colosseum. The hosts that had been taken out were littering the neatly flourished garden in the back and Klaus is almost certain there's a couple more inside. But for now he's pouring himself and Rebekah wine, turning to hand one to her. " Admit it - " he begins, reaching out to gently wipe the smear of blood there on the side of her face before drawing back again. " - you missed me coming with you. "

It’s the atmosphere that exhilarates him. It presses him with an eagerness he doesn't feel outside of the park, he much rather prefers this as opposed to the real world that constantly surrounds him. He hasn't been here at all this Summer and yet he's already immersed in this new story line, much prefers it to the ones of before and the idea of taking down the Emperor himself. The thought has him smiling already, heading through the crowds that are gathering in and around the Colosseum. He's scanning the crowds until his eyes land on her - yes he knew her, Aurora if he recalls and there's something that flickers at the corners of his lips once he approaches her. He could just watch her from afar instead of engaging her, there are hardly women like her in the real world, but he figures there's no better guide through this today than her company. " I'm not entirely sure what I should call you. "
