You were once a Gladiator of the Colosseum; Unlike many you willingly signed up to battle. However now you have retired from the Colosseum and yet the events that took place, and the memories that replay in your dreams and nightmares are a part of you now. Those experiences have become you whether by choice or not, and although you are free; you'll never truly be free from the Arena

A Gladiator is in every way a fighter and a performer. In the Arena, you roused the crowd with your displays of fighting prowess killing or maiming other combatants, and like any other well-known performer, there is rarely a dull moment in your day-to-day life (despite the fact you don't battle in the Arena anymore) --- On the streets, the people may recognize you for these feats of armed combat in the Arena. Oftentimes your fans might present you with small gifts, discounts on combat gear, a free round of drinks, or a free nights stay at the local Tavern & Inn. Sometimes you might have to deal with the occasional stalker, or other times you are the victim of an "unfortunate accident" due to vengeful fans of a fighter you've fought against.
