Chapter two: Of Gladiators and of their blood:
When the Tower came to be, the Txarrez created the Gladiators to solve disputes, and problems. As the denizens of the Tower, and it' ruling council, loose their focus on morality and goods, the Gladiators have become a sick form of entertainment. It is of note that although the term "Gladiator" is the most common, this bio-engineered creations have been used by members of the upper levels of the Tower for other services, such as bodyguards, maids, lovers or simply slaves. Those who are employed as Gladiators have a chance to earn their freedom by fighting a thousand times in the coliseum, or by doing two fights, one against another Gladiator and then another one to the current champion of the Coliseum, after they have done one of those two things, they are sent to the "Hell" Tower, should they finish this two tasks, the Gladiator will be free.
Gladiators are created using a Txerrez device called a "human tank" in which the Gladiator is grown at a rapid pace. Most Gladiators have some form of genetic modification done to them, one of the most prominent being adding DNA of one or various animals when they are still embryos, the other one done to the heart, so that when the Gladiator is about to die, he begins to create massive amounts of hormones similar to the adrenaline along with various other chemicals, like morphine and other pain killers, but one thousand times stronger than they would normally be. This is done so that the Gladiator can withstand more pain, or so that he can survive what would be normally a fatal wound.
Something of interest about the Gladiators body is that if he dies when his heart is producing those hormones and chemicals, the heart will continue to produce them for a period of three hours. for this reason, healers have most of the times access to a Gladiator's dead body to collect the blood that the heart produces, so they can use it as a painkiller. Unfortunately, some of those Healers sell the blood to the population, and those who taste it in the correct doses generally form an addiction, worse of all, is that with the help of a necromancer, the heart can be kept alive so it can produce more blood.
The Gladiator's Blood is highly popular among all of the denizens of the Tower, it is even said that those who live on the Upper levels of the Tower have a more potent version of it.
Those who consume it suffer from side effects such as outburst of angers, or to develop some Gladiator's qualities, like enhanced senses, or parts of their bodies taking animal characteristics.
"With this, there will be no war, no longer we will shed unnecesary blood to settle something, I present you, the Gladiators" Unknow Txarrez bio-engineer
