Name: Borislav
Borislav is a mix if two words, soldier and battle. I see this gent as being a head down, tough as nails campaigner. He gets through what he has to, not because he wants to, but because he must.
Steel.
The cold of the cage floor and walls, the metallic tang in the air. Borislavs sides rose and fell as he struggled to pull in one lungful of air after another. These harshnesses were a comfort, they meant he had survived another fight, another night. He couldn't even recall the fight in truth, he often couldn't. There was the fear at the start, before the initial clash, the anticipation that was much more akin to dread.
Then the fight would begin. After first blood was drawn, no matter which side was responsible, there was no more thought, only action. Only survival. Borislav wanted to live. Wanted it desprately. The comforting steel meant he'd managed this for another night.
Still. Still, the injuries were adding up, still he was slowing down. He was tiring. Not only physically but also emotionally. He was tired all the way to the soul. Soon, he knew, feared, he would be put in the pit with someone less tired, someone who wanted to survive even more than he did. No use dwelling on it though. Now was the time to rest, to prepare for the next match. Hopefully there would be clean water. Maybe even food.
Tired eyes closed as an injured muzzle lowered to rest upon his forepaws. Tired he might be, but Borislav was and would always be a fighter. When the cage opened again, he would be ready.
