However, the craving of combat never went away, and thus the gladiator games were formed. Schools from all the lands would compete and prove a great outlet for Man's darker desires.
Are you a prize fighter seeking to make a name for yourself? A soilder trying to keep your skills sharp? A convict who would rather fight than face the noose?

Katherine of Belfort [Reaver]
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Character
Name: Katherine of Belfort
Age: 26
Description
Str:7
Dex: 5
Con: 5
Int:4
Wis: 4
Cha: 5
Feats: Shield Training, Weapon Training(sword).
Katherine grew up in Belfort as the daughter of one of the garrison officers. Constantly being around soldiers on the frontier of society, she quickly grew accustomed to their coarse language and crude behavior. However it was from them that she learned martial training.They were soldiers used to fighting off raiding parties and outlaws and taught her tricks that had helped them survive. She was taught that a shield could save your life more times than your sword could take lives and learned to handle the weight of most shields and develop techniques around them. Her life was good on the frontier, at least until her father fell out of favor with his superiors and was punished along with his entire family. Left penniless and homeless, Katherine quickly put her skills to the test, attempting to hire herself out as a bodyguard and if needed, an "escort". She became familiar with the underworld as she was forced to do more and more worse things to survive, becoming familiar with murder and intimidation . Then one day she left, leaving it all behind in search of a better life, one where she could gain money and fame in a more honorable fashion. She had heard tales of gladiators preforming for the emperor's pleasure as a kid from the soldiers so she decided that was a place suited for her skillset.

During the war she her clan was called Ginna eagerly heeded it. Taking up her father's old sword and doning the armour that kept her light and secure. She set off to engage in battle. Still able to out perform and best some of the men in the warlord's army she earned her keep but never earned that glory she wanted. Denied by the Valkyrie at her chance she decided to join the gladiator school she heard opening and set herself to join it's ranks.

Description:

STR: 2
DEX: 6
CON: 2
INT: 6
WIS: 6
CHA: 8
Feats
- Seductive
Background: Megaira used to be a bit of a name in her little community as someone who would visit eligible men and give them some comfort when their wives, loved ones or any significant other is away. Thing is, she loved to mess around with them, spending days and night making them eating out of her hands and other places, while once the job is done she returns home with a large sum of money jingling at the side of her hips. All while doing this when she's a committed woman herself, having grown sick with the lack of passion they had when they got married and want to seek some thrill in teaching some young bachelors and suitors how to properly love the woman they enjoy being with. Eventually she got caught in the act, exposed wide open and is arrested right on the spot with no clothes on, along with escaping death from her angry husband brandishing a knife and, literally, stabbing her in the back. Twice. Hearing about this deal, she find this to be a great opportunity, being able to have sex with anyone while being watched by a large crowd cheering for her (when they're more rooting for her to die)... sounds like she found her calling!

Background:
Æsa came from a prideful family, her father a Jarl of a village close to Vargen. Lacking sons, her father treated her as such, teaching her to fight and keeping her beside him during his business. The one virtue he constantly instilled in her was that their family did not kneel, they had fought to get what they had and would fight to keep it, even in the face of certain destruction, for that is when one is most dangerous.
When the Barbarian King raised his armies once more to clash with the legions of the Imperia, her father answered the call and as she was now of age, Æsa joined him. As the fighting lulled and the Valkyrie appeared to demand truce, her father refused to yield, demanding the slaughter continue for it was the only way he knew. The Barbarian king turned on her father and had him killed on the spot, in front of Æsa who was sold into Imperia slavery as reparations.
When it became clear to her new owner that her temperament would not be conducive to a bed slave he sold her to a gladiatorial school.

Feats: Seductive, Weapon Training(sword).
Background: Sonya is not known for being of any one town since she moves around a lot, a rogue and doing whatever it takes to survive and complete a job. She uses her speed and charms to get what she wants and to win instead of strength and intelligence. However, she does remember her home in Roanor where she grew up before being forced to leave after her home was destroyed. She became a thief in order to survive and later one tried her hand at some small arena events where she used her speed to take out her opponents easily. She also learned how to seduce others in order to get what she needed and usually managed to not have to take them to bed, though a few times she had to. Luckily she has never been taken from an arena battle yet. However after a few loses and having few options she'll need to find a way to better her combat skills if she wants to keep winning in arenas.

Layla [Pheonixcz]
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Name: Layla
Origin: Southern Expanse
Image:
Layla's father is a warrior, her grandfather was a warrior, and her brothers are warriors. Her? She was born a woman, and was thus destined to become a victor's prize, not a warrior herself, a fate she very much disagreed with. She has heard many tales of female fighters, and decided to prove she can fight just as well as any man. That would be impossible back at home, where she wouldn't be allowed to compete with others. Layla ran away to start her career as a gladiatrix far away from home, intent on returning only after gaining fame and enough victories to show everyone what she's capable of!
When she finally ended in Imperial gladiator school, she realised how stupid that idea was. Layla is young and foolish, and unlike warrior women from her tales, she lacks any combat skill or training beside watching her brothers sparing. But it is too late to turn back now, she will have to learn whatever she needs to win...or she'll become the winner's prize after all.
