Hi, I'm Jo! I'm looking to write something a little darker involving power dynamics, vulnerability, and language barriers.

Plot hook:
NOTE: not looking for historical accuracy- don't worry if you've never delved into this area of history before, I'm quite new to it myself.

• My guy is a former warrior of a secluded Scandinavian tribe. After being captured during a scouting mission, he was taken to Rome to entertain a bloodthirsty populace under the moniker, "The Wolf of Germania."
• After he has his first fight in the arena (presumably surviving), he begins to plan his escape. Trouble is, he doesn't speak the language, stands out like a sore thumb, and has no allies.
• In order to make his escape, he'll first need to get on the good side of Your Character, who has status and/or wealth at their disposal.
• Will this relationship end in betrayal? Will death part them? Or will they connect beyond differences?

Your character:

• A Roman who will interact with my character! Can be romantic, but not necessarily- platonic is welcome too! Either way, I'm hoping they grow to be special to one another
• Morally gray with complexities- someone who likely thinks of lower castes as inferior, but who has a sophisticated moral compass (as skewed as it may be)

Other things I'm looking for:

• A writer who is 25+; female, trans male or non-binary; and can write in third person, present tense
• Chill and friendly OOC chatter centering our shared story
• A love of pigeons
• Posts more days than not
• Knows when to use a one-liner and when to give more description

More about me:

• Early 30s, they/she
• Central time zone
• Loves pigeons
• Lover of playlists and mood boards
• Artist

I drew my gladiator- folks from his area typically have long hair and wear beards. Lots of hair here!
