I'm thinking of making a Gauri gladiator Soldier, possibly a Human or Giant, who is on a journey for redemption and revenge. Think more like how Conan was originally written than how he was portrayed in movies. Smart, cunning, and ruthless with a weapon.<br/><br/>As for more story to it, I was thinking his family was butchered by the Electrum Empire in a push for them to gain more territory and slaves, but didn't expect to be met by barbarians who could truly fight an army. In the end, the Electrum Empire fell back, but not before taking most of the villagers' lives, either in combat, or as slaves. My character would probably start in the gladiatorial arenas (Roman Empire feel and all), biding his time and honing his skills in battle during the day, and honing his mind at night with study from the other gladiators of other lands.<br/><br/>Would that back story work well? I think it'd lend to some plot points that could be thrown in. Would also like thoughts on race for that character concept, because Giant (albiet slightly shorter than the 10-15 feet suggested) would fit a Conan-esque Barbarian fairly well. Thoughts?
