Name: Cato Dominatus.
Age: 22.
Gender: Male.
Bio: A Roman native from an extremely unlucky family of soldiers(he had six uncles, now he has a single uncle with one eye, a shopteacher's hand, and a wooden leg). He joined the Roman military and served excellently for a few years before being kicked out for repeated fights and disobedience. Dominatus then became a mercenary, but was arrested for murder after he got into a drunken fight with someone and accidentally killed him. He was sent to the arena to become a gladiator, but to Domitianus, that is more of a reward than a punishment. He hopes to become a wealthy and famous gladiator, and would continue to fight even as a rudiarus.

"Happy to oblige." Dominatus leaves and...what places are there to go?
Yes or no on the cestus thing? I really made him to be more of a brawler, although provocatore is okay(he picked it because the equipment was most like what he had in the military).
