Behavior

Feral or Cultured: Cultured. More feral tendencies of a bull elephant in musk displayed in battle.

Phobias: Snakes. Fire. (secretly mice. He find it well though just ask the rats during the rampage in the underhalls)

Disorders:Sees 'red' when his face is attacked. Or anything foot related comes into contact with his face. It is a cultural quirk the head is seen as the most honored part of the body while feet are considered dirty.

How do they present themselves:Humble. Willing to put himself out there to grow in knowledge and experience. He can be a bit bold in going after what he wants. And thinking his skills above other slaves due to the fact he used to oversee other slaves. Especially other slaves that haven't proved themselves in his eyes. In battle he will try to be considerate but most times will get riled up and become ruthless. He respects honor above all and those who are dishonorable will lose credibility with him.

Feelings towards being owned / rented:Knows it is his lot in life and being pleasing to renters or owners will get you privileges and get you further in life. Under a person's coin he is protective. His guarding instincts come out. He will lay down his life or put himself in harm's way for them. (those he feels deserve a guard such as him)

Overall Attitude:Obedient thrall/bold warrior/fierce guardian.

Quirks:Hangs trunk over tusks. Goes berserk during a fight whenever someone attacks his face. Is obsessed with furry critters. Furre or feral.

Hobbies / Interests:carving, the arena, knowledge, enlightenment, architecture.

High or Low Maintenance:High maintenance. His dietary needs alone can eat plenty out of house and home. The elephant should only be taken on by someone who has the funding to take on his upkeep costs. He is large. He needs large housing. He also enjoys and strives to earn certain privileges that are more a keen to harem slaves. He needs to keep active or his muscles will turn to fat pretty quickly.

Diet / Allergies:Herbivore with a strong liking to curries and sugar cane. Fermented fruit makes a nice dessert and also baklava and dijeerling tea. Yum!

General Information

Character Description: Tender spirit of Ganesh emanates from the gentle giant. Intimidating presence only skin deep. A grey beast of tough hide. Colossal is an understatement for one elevated ten feet. Sheer weight carries in crushing steps from leathery soles. Muscles galore; rippling mountainous shoulders, chiseled valley of abdominals and thick columnesque limbs. Impressive mumakil styled set of ivory on either side of a sinew packed trunk. Jewelry is strung from tusks to wide ears. Skull crested with ornate cap. Harness of leather over chest and loincloth draped with chainmaille. Ostentatious as Xerxes and as imposing in combat. Morning star mace knows no bone it can not shatter.

Website: RPR

Contact Details: Whisper Gadadhara.

Notes:To harvest his tusks a patron must request staff to oversee it or it will be considered poaching the ivory from the Tether. Doing such will accrue fines or possible jail time. It is considered stealing from the Tether as long as h is owned by the establishment.

Slave review 11/19:
In the main hall this afternoon, Gadadhara fulfilled a task outside of his typical use with humble skill. It was requested of him, by Vivian Alexander, to acquire and serve her a cup of tea. Several other patrons, including the Rah, also ordered. The slave had a nuanced understanding of conversation, and thus was able to anticipate and provide for additional needs. He suggested the addition of baklava to the orders of Vivian and another patron. The up-sell was well received and the food and beverage were gracefully presented. His service was a fine embellishment on the afternoon.

Miss Alexander would recommend others explore and hone this additional use of the slave.

Vivian's private thoughts on Gadadhara:
"Vivian took her tea and her pastry with reverence that returned and bolstered that belonging to the elephant, with which he served. It was clear that she was beyond pleased with the showing. “If you serve violence with the same competency, I should like to see you fight.” He’d taken their orders, and intentionally or otherwise, added of himself to them. The orange accents were the result of it, and indication that he could take one thing and make it more with his hands and his thoughts. If Gadadhara could take violence and blood and do the same, it would truly be a thing worth watching, more along the lines of art than rudimentary brutality."

-Letter of Commendation-
What How do you even spell his name right? Well, that titan's got taste when it comes to sweets. Nuts and the taste of oranges on a nice sweet cake.. thing. Bak a lava?

Suggestions:
He tends to move a bit slowly, maybe he needs a bit more sleep?
Not.. sure what to put here really. Oh look, I'm still writing. Oh!
Main Suggestion, He'd look great with a sash.

-Letter of Recommendation-

11/21
As Gadadhara's life-coach, healer (and secret lover) I can attest to this man being a gentle giant when not in the cage. He follows most orders without much protest and when there is protest, he accepts the punishment and understands what he has had done wrong. There is nothing I don't like about him. Quality individual with a life story that would make most slavers weep. He does move slow, but I think I've fixed that. He was a bit pent up the last time I've checked on him, but ailed him on that. He should be as good as new both in the cages and in the ring. He is healed but needs to learn to groom himself a bit better.

Shaky handwriting of an artist who was still not used to the skill of writing, but who was getting better at it with every passing day. The letters seemed to have a painted quality to them, rather than being written. Unfortunatly, he still seemed to have the habbit of misspelling certain words, and he had not even attempted at spelling Gadadhara's name.

Slave rented as platform for large mural painting. Service rendered with eksquisit pasiens. Very good at standing still for a long time. Posible use as furniture?

Biers was not a man of many words, especially when writing.

[Kasathria]

Fine script, produced in blocky Latin letters, makes up this note:

Hunc producit fine important venalia, et est optimum socium. Doleo me contenderunt, commeatuque nostras brevis.

Below it, in an entirely different handwriting, sits the Common translation:

This man produces fine wares and is an excellent companion. I am sorry I had to cut our interaction short.

[Biers]

A note has been added. Biers's handwriting has obviously improved since last he made a comment on Gadadhara's papers.

"A weekly sponsorship will be set up. The gold can be collected every monday at my suite. This money may be used to allow Gadadhara more practice time in the arena, and/or better medical care. Upon two consecutive wins, this sponsorship will be re-evaluated, so that more privileges may be granted.

Biers"

[IC Review from Takurasho Dralt]

Gadadhara was rented for combat on the eve of January twenty-first. He was both merciless and observant, and as requested, he offered applicable insight on how I might improve my combative stance. His proficiency and professionalism made him a favorable opponent. I will note, however, that the slave announced his intent to depart rather than requesting dismissal. This minor mistake aside, I was pleased with my purchase. I would recommend Gadadhara to any patron seeking a challenge in the arena.

[Kalev]

A note has been left on the slave's papers, from Guard Jormun:

This slave displayed poor sportsmanship when attending Gladiator Grimm's Fight Night Tournament. He spoke disrespectfully to a patron that he had beaten in a match, and then grew agitated once given a verbal warning by both myself and Gladiator Grimm. Furthermore, the slave failed to show the following night at the Tournament's finale despite winning his match. This expresses poor ability to absorb criticism and a hubris unbecoming of a slave. I suggest extra work should be done to teach him humility and perhaps a revision of basic slave etiquette is in order.
