Can I start out by saying how much I love this idea! I've been wondering if there was a way to connect with other current/ex-gladiators for a while now.
You may wish to clarify in the title that the thread is referring to all career gladiators and not just the class GLD.
1. Character Name Klynzahr Iyrnahctwyn
2. Gladiator Name Currently none. However several years ago she was known as 'The Blue Wolf', the larger and bulkier half of 'The Blue Wolf and the White Fox'.
3. Current Age 29
4. Age While A Gladiator She began her career in the coliseum at 24 and officially retired at 27. However she can still be seen frequently training at the Gladiator's guild or participating in the grindstone.
5. Main Weapon She fought her first season with a marauder's broad ax, before shifting almost exclusively to sword and board. She quickly developed a preference for a particularly long, hooked falchion, which she generally pairs to a light shield.
6. Fighting Style During her three year coliseum career, Klynzahr fought almost exclusively in pairs or small group matches. Her preferred partner was the midlander Hyur Ginshaw Iyrnactsyn, better known as 'The White Eyed Fox'. Although the two enjoyed several successful streaks, common opinion held that Ginshaw was carrying his larger 'crew mate'. The exclusively ax wielding Fox, fought with a flamboyant and aggressive style that easily overshadowed his more cautious partner.
7. Where They Fought/Fight both past and present Previously the Coliseum. She has recently returned to fight in the Grindstone after an absence of two years.
8. Any Other Notable Characteristics It should be noted that Klynzahr was responsible for the deaths of three competitors early on in her career. All were properly declared accidental, despite their brutality. These transgressions gained her an early following among the rougher spectators and more than a few enemies among her peers.
Later in her career, Klynzahr adopted an almost passive style, engaging only to distract competitors from the Fox and abandoning individual matches all together. During these years it was rumored that she would pace the hallways of the Gladiator guild for hours before each match and some said that she would vomit in the street before her fights. This lead to further rumors of alcoholism.
As 'The White Eyed Fox' gained a greater renown, he began to fight frequent solo matches. In his last appearance on the sands, the Fox was brutally beaten by an elezen lancer. Spectators and gladiators alike witnessed Klynzahr leaving the stands in distress to carry away her injured team mate. Soon after rumors began circulating that she had taken him home to Limsa Lominsia to die. Neither of them have fought on the sands since.
I would really like to build up some connections through this history, wither you have fought against her and Fox, teamed up with them, or simply spectated.
