Executioners

They'll Make Your Last Moments a Show

The sound of a thousand feet stomping all at once filled the air. The colosseum stands shivering under the weight of so many excited animals. Who cheered, screamed, cackled, and shouted. Excited did they watch the Executioner lift the prisoners head high. A hand to their wounded middle, and a smile upon those lips that broke into a long howl. For he had given the audience a show that would be hard to forget.

Those born afflicted with curses, or those who gain them, may be forced down this route of servitude. That or they are met with death, whether it be from an Ilkreaver or from their curses overtaking their bodies. The armor they wear shackles the ill within their blood, prevents their flesh from warping. Keeps them Them. These bonds are often stolen by rouge accursid, but for executioners they are gifted. It keeps them alive for a long while, though eventually they will fail. The executioner is oft put down the moment their body starts to bend.
In return for being allowed to live they are enlisted to kill those the people want killed. Often putting on a grand show in gladiator style combat. The curses keep the executioner far far far stronger than the prisoners they deal with. Allowing for fights of 30-40v1.
The colors of the executioner are the same across them all. They are genetically modified once acquired by local and regional governments to bear the same likeness. Thus if one escapes, breaks their leash and runs. They are known to all to be owned, and sheltering the execution may have dire consequences.
