(http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/9117/43225373.jpg)<br/><br/>Name         Gaius<br/>Place of birth      Rome<br/>Physical (height, hair color, eye color)   5'10", 200 lb., Brown hair and eyes.  He sports a number of bruises and scars which he wears with pride.<br/>Personality<br/>"Death laughs in the faces of everyone, but if you want his respect, summon the courage to laugh back."  Gaius heard this phrase as a child, tells it to his students and expects them to live it.  It's difficult to find that delicate balance of someone who understands life's meaninglessness and fights fearlessly but also is not so reckless as to throw their lives away.  As he searches for that perfect gladiator, sometimes he can't help but wonder how he would have fared in the arena himself.<br/>History<br/>The life of a gladiator is a cold and isolating one.  Gaius has no idea how he ended up in such service, and even as a child he was traded too many times to be able to know himself.  The sword, the spear, the net, these were his toys as a child when others had the chance to grow up and earn a better life for themselves.<br/>Gaius did what he could under the circumstances.  The Lanista started to consider him for the position of Doctore when he noticed Gaius going out of his way to help train some of the other slaves in exchange for extra rations.<br/>Over the course of his life he was blessed to see only one true Gladiatrix, a woman sporting twin blades who was able to best two lions in combat.  Sadly she could not best three.  Gaius always thought it a waste that her remarkable talent was thrown away purely by someone unable to understand potential and human limits.
