The Boulder

Originally, just Boulder, The Boulder was a teacher. He started off teaching higher education, but as less and less Genasi felt the need to finish college, he began teaching in an elementary school setting. However even that school wasn’t doing well. Parents kept pulling their kids out of school in order to help with farming and other such tasks. His school was close to shutting down.

The Boulder, hearing stories of some of the famous gladiators, and being extremely huge and strong as well as educated, decided to enter the gladiatorial fights gain more awareness of this school, with the added benefit of more food.

While in the arena he developed The Boulder persona. In which he would narrate his actions, as if the fight was a story referring to himself as “The Boulder”. He became increasingly popular with the younger audiences. In fact, he became so popular that within a year, he was offered to move to show fighting only by the Lictors. Though the rewards were smaller, the switch would mean he would be more popular with a wider audience. His job grew more stable as many children were eager to get an education from a celebrity. He started using his “The Boulder” persona at school was well, eventually getting trapped in it.

Around the same time, the Water Royal Family was looking for a tutor for Lady Ocean. The Boulder was recommended him due to his PHD level degree. Wanting the best for their child Lady Tide and Sir Current hired The Boulder unaware that he was actually the same person as the famous gladiator. Upon realizing this, they still kept him on as he was an excellent teacher, although they were not pleased.

The Boulder got along well with Lady Ocean, who was the first person he’d met in a long time who cared more for teaching ability than his persona. After tutoring Ocean for a while he invited her to watch some of his fights which he still participated in frequently. However, he made sure Ocean only saw the show fights.
