Yes, I suppose. But "gladiator" sounds grander and gets people asking about you. As I'm sure you realize.
*Laughs heartily*

@Valiance

*Smiles and nods*
I understand completely. As for that individual you seek, do you intend to engage in combat?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

When I say "champ", it's just part of the saying. I'm not a champion of anything, I don't participate in any kind of league or anything.

@Valiance

Would it be reasonable to describe your role as a combat and training contractor?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

That a common reason, but it's not exclusive. Sometimes it's just for fun. Sometimes they just want to take a bite out of the champ to say they did.

@Valiance

Self-described champion, or an organized champion?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Definitely. They pay me, even.

@Valiance

People pay you to engage in combat? For training purposes?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Not quite a bit, just a little bit. My audience and my opponent are the same person.

@Valiance

Does your opponent participate by choice?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

You could spin it that way, I suppose.
*Chuckles*

@Valiance

I would imagine that I lack quite a bit of context, hm?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Not a regular venue, no. Things quickly scale beyond the confines of any arena that could reasonably be built to house spectators.

@Valiance

And do you compete for entertainment purposes?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Gleams*
Usually!
*Chuckles*

@Valiance

Is there an arena you frequent?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Grins*
I’m a gladiator.
*Smacks my chestplate with a fist*

@Valiance

*Raises my eyebrows and nods*
A gladiator. For sport, I presume?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

As long as that is okay. And duty doesn’t call.

@Valiance

Duty being, in your case?
