Charioteer

​Chariot racing is a major spectator sport in Appollonia. Charioteers are usually teenagers or young men, normally slaves or foreigners. ​

Role

​Much like a Gladiator, a charioteer risks death in the circus. Charioteers often race several times a month and have less free time than gladiators. Occasionally charioteers are pulled from the games to become lead military charioteers or trainers. ​

Distinctive Appearance

None

Special Benefits

​The character can win prize money racing. The character belongs to a local racing faction and receives a +2 reaction from circus fans who support his faction. ​

Special Hindrances

​The character is under contract to a racing faction, and he must regularly race in the circus, which is very dangerous. He is public figure-when out in public, he is besieged by fanatical fans (some of whom might be hostile, if they support a rival faction). Like gladiators, a charioteer, despite his fame, is of lowly social status and cannot hope to rise above it. ​
