## Current Playable Characters (Added As We Go)

### Wisdom (Gladiator Champion) : Played By Waiting For The Signal

Wisdom is a captivating dark elf female with a mesmerizing presence. Her curvaceous figure commands attention, a testament to her strength and resilience as a gladiator champion. Despite her captivating beauty, her dark face bears the mark of a long faded pink scar, providing a glimpse into the turbulent experiences that have shaped her.

Behind her stoic façade lies a complex and introverted personality that is difficult to decipher. Wisdom's trauma-laden backstory began during her early years in a secluded and competitive dark elf society. Born to an influential family, she was groomed to be a weapon for her kin. Trained mercilessly in combat, her childhood was stripped of any semblance of innocence or warmth.

In her teenage years, Wisdom was betrayed by her once-trusted mentor, who sought to eliminate her as a potential rival. Ambushed without warning, she was gravely wounded during the merciless attack, resulting in the faded pink scar on her face. Through sheer willpower and her instinct for survival, she managed to escape, but not without leaving behind everything she once knew.

Forced to navigate the treacherous world alone, Wisdom found herself in the unforgiving arena of gladiatorial combat. Fighting her way to the top, she became a renowned gladiator champion — a title she earned through sheer determination, mastering her skills and honing her body into a weapon.

Yet, her success in the arena became a double-edged sword. Fame and attention brought unwanted notoriety, making it difficult for Wisdom to trust others. The traumatic experiences of her past had left her guarded, her introverted nature a defense mechanism to shield herself from further pain.

Behind closed doors, Wisdom mourns the loss of her innocence, haunted by the betrayal and violence she endured. The long days and nights have taught her to be unforgiving, to show no weakness, and to never let her guard down. Though her heart still longs for connection and understanding, the scars of her past have made it a daunting task for anyone to truly know her.
