You're a gladiator of the colosseum; You were captured, enslaved, and forced to compete in death matches. Your fighting style made you a successful gladiator or was at least good enough to keep you alive. The colosseum is in your blood now, the events that took place, the memories that you replay in your dreams, and your experiences have become you. Whether by choice or not, although you are free; you'll never escape the arena.

When in a town, you can find a venue in which to fight for money and reputation, perhaps a gladiatorial arena or secret pit fighting club. At such a place, you receive free lodging and food of a modest or comfortable standard (depending on the quality of the establishment), as long as you perform each night. In addition, your performance makes you something of a well-known local figure. When strangers recognize you in a town where you have performed, they typically take a liking to you. You can find fighting matches between adventures sufficient to maintain a comfortable lifestyle (see "Practicing a Profession" under "Downtime Activities" in chapter 8 of the Player's Handbook).
