[Contenders] Ducat - The Brutal Son

I loved the idea of Contenders as Roman Gladiators. So here is mine.

Who is your Contender?Ducat is a 2nd generation gladiator.
Where does he come from?His father travelled the Roman Empire always leaving the gladiator pits bloodied and their victor.
Why does he fight?Believing that the best way to get to know someone is to face then in combat Ducat hopes to meet his father in the Arena.
What kind of man is he?Ducat is a deserate and brutal young man who lives between the legacy his father has left him and the life his mother wishes he could lead.

ConnectionSurprisingly his African mother and he write each other despite both their low stations. He hopes to bring her to Rome and buy her a house there. He worries that her hard life and what her son does with his life weighs too heavy on her heart.

Cool character.

Just one suggestion: from playing Contenders, I've found out that your worry about your connection needs to be something severe to really push you in play. Because the bad thing about ending the game with higher pain than hope is that your fear for your connection comes to pass. But if your fear is just "she worries too much," that's not very dramatic. Think about something bad that could happen to her :)

I agree. The idea I had was that her letters would detail her trip here and why she needs more and more money. The trip to Rome is dangerous. :)
