Ox Roade

Ox Roade is an ex-gladiator and Ryoma's slave

Appearance
Has numerous faint scars all over his well-built physique, coupled with his glinting eyes, completed a perfectly intimidating look. Looks more like a Japanese horned devil than an ox, his horn only slightly peeking out of his hair that had been kept short for visibility

Personality
A bit stoic, He may be stubborn when it comes to his swords, but he is rather reasonable otherwise. He has the sense of responsibility to perform tasks assigned to him to the best of his abilities.

History
He was raised in an orphanage until the age of fifteen, when he entered a training center for gladiators, who fought each other for show. He quickly became successful, and spent his twenties as a famous gladiator. Early in his thirties, he won a top-tier tournament. Then his left hand was injured in a match. The injury itself seemed minor, until the pain worsened, forcing Ox to amputate it at the wrist. Munera was a popular career choice for them; many ox beastkin gladiators could wield heavy armor and weapons with ease. Ox had specialized in dual blading, a style that leaned toward quick flurries of two swords, but didn’t waste his strength either. His special made, extra-heavy pair of swords allowed him to unleash devastating onslaughts of exceptional power and speed.

He made a living out of nothing but his swords. Even after losing a hand, he still trains every day. His dire request is to be sold to a master who needs a good swordsman. Before the amputation, he bought some time to look for an alternative treatment by applying a rare magical medicine. He had considerable savings after his career as a famous gladiator. He couldn’t let it go, even after he’d spent all of his savings on the medicine. He racked up loans, which led him to become a slave
