Sounds good. If you don't mind, I have a few things to ask to make sure we are on the same page here:

Did you want Eleon to be the main setting, or as a realm from which one or more of the players come from?

I can play Gad if you want, but did you want to play an orc female or someone else? Should there be orcs at all?

Do you have more details on the runner, if you want me to play Gad as a runner? 

Did you have anything else you wanted to ask me? 

As for my ideas relating to your four, I have some. 

- Eleon's mind-control worms could be the result of a magical experiment gone wrong, possibly as the result of attempts at making a weapon of some sort.

- Not much to say about the second one, with Aaron. It is fairly basic next to the others, but maybe he could be worked in somehow as a side character, or someone looking to find meaning in his life again after losing his family.

- The celibate head of family thing would be considered incomprehensible to the orcs (should we use them in the form I described), as would anything other than a family involving a male and at least one female. Yes, the orcs (as I described them) are polygamous to a degree, but only the higher-status males have the ability to support such a large family which would come with two or move wives. I would NOT play a gay or bisexual character, though. It's just not something I find appealing at all. Gad and a woman named Lois might work. Is anyone actually named Lois? Lois Lane? Any name for a woman would be fine. As for the runner part, we'd have to explain how he would have been captured for an arena match.

- As for the modern one, I'm not sure how well it would fit. We could work in a drunkard or something. Still, the attitude of that woman might fit for the orc "princess" who chafes at social expectations for orc females. She probably works much of that aggression out in the arena. 

How's that so far?
