Hi everyone! I'm Sin and I'm bringing in this gladiator, Gannicus, from my completely guilty pleasure show of Spartacus on Starz.

Just to give you a quick overview of him, Gannicus is a Celt that was captured by the Romans and forced into slavery as a gladiator. He was once of House Batiatus, so he has a B branded on the inside of his right forearm, and rose to become the Champion of Capua before winning his freedom. Five years later, he meets Spartacus who had begun the slave rebellion against Rome and eventually joined their ranks becoming one of Spartacus' generals.

He's cocky, has a chip on his shoulder, spurns authority, loves women, wine and fighting. He also has absolutely no powers but is equal to, if not better, than Spartacus when it comes to battle. And he's going to be so fascinated with flushing toilets. Just saying. At least Roman villas had running water.

Here's an official profile Starz did on Gannicus if anyone is interested, though it is from before his current canon point. I'm contactable over AIM at maragidyne of my plurk NinjaSin. Just make sure to ask me before adding me on Plurk. I keep my plurk list very small, so please don't take it personally if I choose not to add you.

Fair Warning: Gannicus is an ex-gladiator from ancient Roman times. This means he is crass and expects most women will want to sleep with him. Expect him to swear a lot and use disrespectful terms for others until he comes to respect them. I will keep it in check as a decent person, but I just need to give you all ample warning beforehand.

An ex-gladiator, a mercenary, a sheriff, an angel, a kid, and some lady.

... Our apartment will never be boring.

[godofthearena]

Uh-oh, a law man. Fun times~

At least the Romans were pathetically obsessed with hygiene so there's no need to worry about Gannicus smelling.^^

FLUSHING TOILETS

[expiatrice]

man i need to re-read the setting page since i know there's no sinks and stuff OOPS shows how much attention i pay

but what about

ELECTRICITY...

[godofthearena]

It says the only 'drinkable' water is from the well. I kind of assumed there's be flush toilets. OH WELL.

And electricity? Bah. A gift from Jupiter.

[caditquaestio]

...oh, wow. It's so amazing seeing someone play from this series *______*

Weeeeeeeeelcome.

[godofthearena]

There is a part of me that is ashamed I like it as much as I do given the gratuitous violence, nudity and sex in it.

BUT I LIKE THE CHARACTERS AND THE ROMAN INTRIGUE.

[caditquaestio]

Sob, I'll watch anything set in the Roman period, I can't even be bothered with shame. And Gannicus wore shiny-shiny oil very well -

I mean. He wore his. Uh. Leather kilt. Well.

[godofthearena]

Yes. Yes he did.

[caditquaestio]

From which canon point did you take him............

[godofthearena]

End of Vengeance after Vesuvius. I decided he needed to have gotten over himself some to be playable in the Haven setting.

[hookblade]
