You're a slave-gladiator, a prisoner of war. It's been a few years since the Empire over-ran your nomadic pastoral tribe, and as a warrior, your skills were put to use first wastefully to "break your spirit" and then in the arena for their amusement. Fools. You will have your revenge, free your clan, and escape. It's not your first fight. You've won a few, but this is the first public fight, where you earn your official name. (They insisted on your name not existing, firmly, with shock wands. You're not especially happy about this, but at least you'll have them acknowledge you after you win this battle.
Before the battle, you looked at the pamphlets describing the gladiator slaves of your owners. You were amused to find yourself on the list:

Seems to be a moment ahead of the other fighter at key times.
Flaws:
Major Flaw: Wrathful

Before stepping into the arena, you consider two things: your opponents and weapons. It's all cheap, old, and battered, mostly iron, but it works well enough to kill or maim the other fellow. It's a death match, after all - the only protection offered are battered and dented shields, and a few ratty belts to hold your weapons.
What do you grab?
Which is your first enemy?
a) Blood Elf Mage 2 / Gladiator 1

e) Dwarf Fighter 1/Warrior 1/Hammerer 1/Gladiator 1
f) Didn't get told. Random pick.
g) A mating pair of wild and hungry predatory felines.
