Name: Ding Martins
Age: 22
Gender: male
Nationality: Imperial

Long story short, after being the first athlete in the entire Empire of Kingarmy to get to the 98th percentile in physical education without the use of dopes, he was sent to training at Imperial IAC (Internationnal Athenian Commitee) camps to become the flag bearer at the next Athenian games. But hearing of a lost city in some god forsaken dessert appealed more to the emperor's greedy fanatical vessels in charge of the IAC. Having no one else as physically and mentaly able, the IAC officers want to send Ding Martins for the job.

Name: Derek Hitt
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Nationality: Beatusian

Derek's mother died when he was less than a year old. Since then, he has been raised by his father, Professor Reginald Thurston Hitt, a noted Beatusian archaeologist. Ever since he was little, his father has taught him about history, archeology, and ancient cultures. Derek was home schooled, and his father took him everywhere with him, to digs in the Beatus, Greal, Stoklomolvi, and many other places. He was with his father, at a dig, in the Beatus, near Valdamikill, when the civil war broke out in the Beatus. They were deeply invested in the dig, and being in a remote location, were not disturbed by the war, initially, that is. However, as it drew on, the fighting shifted from the cities, that were cramped, congested, and dangerous, to the open countryside, where the odds of survival was better. About three weeks into the war, men from one of the factions found the dig site. They saw gold, silver, and rare jewels, and wanted to take them to melt down, and sell for war supplies. Derek's father, refused to let them have it, insisting that it belonged in a museum, and threatening to call the police or military on them. Derek watched as the men shot his father. As his fathers blood splattered over the ancient artifacts. Anger welled up inside of him. He rushed one of the men, grabbing him around the neck. His father had shown him pressure points, which if properly manipulated would render a subject incapacitated. He applied the proper pressure to one of the points, and the man went limp in his hands. He used the man as a human shield, and used the man's gun to kill the others. He then quickly buried his father, and the artifacts, to keep them out of the hands of the warlords. As he buried his father, he vowed he would continue his work. When this oppertunity came up, he saw his chance.

OOC:just two huh? I'll take that

*Clemens sat in his suite, waiting for his guests to arrive* "I say, they best arrive soon.I'm getting rather bored... and that man will notice his wallet is missing eventually.Dresses in a Fancy suit, but he only carries 50 Cody's on him.That was quite a letdown."

Derek Hitt arrived. He wore a vest, with many pockets, a wide brimmed hat, sunglasses, and a backpack. He noticed he was the first to arrived, and wondered if he was the only one that would be coming. "Hello," he said to the man in the room. "Mr. Clemens?"

*Carl was looking through a telescope...at the apartment building across the street* "My word, i knew she was cheating on him, but with another woman? how very droll....oh! Derek hello!" *He pushed the telescope over the balcony edge, trying to look innocent* "Nice to meet you.My, your the spitting image of your father.He was a good man.Take a seat and i shall inform you of my expedition." *A loud crash echoed from down below, following the sound of a car alarm.He sighed and looked over the edge* "Of course it landed there.Karma at work" *He turned off the alarm with his keys and turned back to Derek* "Lets pretend that didn't happen, shall we?"
