Arcadia Underground
Welcome to the Underground
In the depths of Arcadia lies a place referred to as The Ninth Circle. Appearing seemingly out of nowhere after the fall of the Red Light District, the Ninth Circle is a place for not only the most corrupt in Arcadia, but the most desperate. A bar that seems to serve any drink or drug under the sun and a back room full of underworld dealings. It is said you can get anything there, for a price.
It's owner, a mysterious figure known as Mr. Ash, has announced a deal that anyone in Arcadia can take part in! Anything you could wish for, anything at all.
You just need to compete in the Underground. You need to be willing to spill your blood, sweat, and tears for the paying audience and in return you will be given a chance at obtaining your wildest dreams. Do you have what it takes to make those dreams a reality?

Appearance:
Name: Javier Calderón
Nickname: The Cartel Kingpin

Nickname: "The Life of the Party" "Party Boy"
Bio: Born as a spoiled brat with a ton of credits to burn, Chet Roderick spends most of his young life partying hard. While his parties are often a fun time, the problem is that Chet Roderick comes with them. He's so obnoxious and self absorbed; he believes that if he wasn't around, Arcadia would be a worse place without him. Despite not being well liked, Chet frequents the Ninth Circle's VIP lounge and hopes to one day turn it from depressing and drab to fun and fab.

Name: Kai Lyr
Nickname: "The Sentinel"
Bio: Kai Lyr is the last of the Luminous Veil, a fallen order of warrior-philosophers devoted to peace, knowledge, and the sacred “Inner Flame” — the spark of love, resilience, and truth within all. Betrayed, their temple destroyed, and the Heartstone stolen, Kai returned to ash and silence. Now a ghost in the margins, he walks alone, hunted by shadows yet fueled by purpose. His flame may be the last, but it still burns. With nothing left but memory and resolve, he arrives in Olympus not as a hero, but as a legend in the making. Luminous till the end.

Appearance:
Name: Herb Dirt
Nickname: "Dirty Herb", "The Bloomstalker"
Bio: Once the head groundskeeper of The Spires—Red District's once lush vertical utopia, now crumbled into neglect. Herbert watched helplessly as his garden died. Rare flora withered, medicinal plants turned bitter, and the last bees fell silent.
Now, Dirt slips into The Ninth Circle, hands still smelling faintly of thyme and dirt. Herb's not there for pleasure; he's there to trade - hand-grown narcotic blooms, old seeds or outlawed soil enhancers. Anything for a quick deal, morals optional. Rumor has it he's even hunting for a mythical root that can resurrect entire ecosystems - if handled correctly.

- Shear Luck: Modified Scissored Armbar
- Uprooted: Scoop Slam Leg Drop
- Dirt Nap: Tosses contaminated dirt to eyes, then hits a sit-out Facebuster
Wish: "I wish to restore beauty where only ruin remains."
Appearance: Dirt-ridden clothes or overalls, like he's bathed in dirt and not washed for a while. An older-type guy, with grey pepper ring a scraggly beard. Small, kinda weasely or pidgeony look to him in his shifty little eyes.
