In Gor I sensed an ambition, a freshness and hope, and sparkle, that had perhaps not been felt on Earth since the Parthenon was new. Doubtless Gor is impatient, cruel and heartless, but yet, too, it is innocent. Gor was a strong world, a new world, a world in which men might again lift their heads to the sun and laugh, a world in which they might again, begin long journeys."

Interview of Second Sword Erus Atlas by our Town Crier, Anya Halderman
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

How long have you been involved in Gor?

on sl not very long. in my real life i lived in a gorean comunity for a little over 10 years , I have owned two rl Kajira. i had them for close to 5 years.

Tell us how you came to be Second Sword of Laura

I started out here as master of arms, and i worked my way through the ranks

What attracted you to the role of a Gorean Warrior?

it caries over from my rl experience i was a warrior for the gor communtiy i lived it

If you weren't a Warrior, what alternative role would you choose?

im not sure the warrior is all that iknow perhaps a slaver maybe

What is your character's personality like? Are you a stickler for the rules, harsh and unforgiving, or a sucker for a pretty face and a sob story?

i try to keep an equal balance between the two of them. i follow the rules but there are times when the rules can be bent.

As your time serving in the Lauran Scarlet continues, how would you like to see your character develop?

i would like to see the character open up more and become more of what it means to be in role

Slaves have a duty to be pleasing and obedient. What other qualities do you look for in a kajira?

to me a Kajira should have personality also not just go through the motions but put personal feeling into it

Do you have a free companion? If so, when shall we hear the patter of tiny steel-capped boots?

yes i do and am not sure when the little boots will be making noise lol

Has there been anything particularly meaningful that coming to Laura and online Gor has done for you?

it has made me realisie what i gave up many years ago.the brother hoods that are built among those around you. the lifestyle of the gorean way.

What does Erus stand for?
the name Erus stands for Master in Latin and the name Atlas shows strength both inside and out, so my name comes down to strong master

Tell us the most exciting experience you have had in Laura, as a member of the Scarlet Caste...

everything i do is exciting you never know whats around the next corner it can be any thing from a panther waiting to cap you to a warm smile of a slave to the sharp tounges of a FW. so each experience is exciting.

Interview with Warrior of the Week -
Orvelle Oppewall
by ShaRee Fabre, Laura Merchant

Questions: I understand that you were chosen partly for your efforts to extend our allies here in Laura, why do you feel this is important?

You need alliances in times when issues are occuring, strong and steady ones at that, forming good relations with fellow cities is a key to overall survival in the long run.

How did you do it?

Well, listening mainly, seeing and hearing the chit chat from people and hearing positive items, then following up on them when I am able to, things I've looked into at the time are still in the works, but might have some positive outcomes in the future.

What do you feel being a Gorean warrior brings to you as a person?

It brings and overal aspect of honor and such to you more than just simply in Gor and as RP. The person you are IC is still your personality and it shows through each

And what do you bring to the city as this warrior?

I bring a strong force to the Red Caste in Laura, keeping the city safe and protected while it grows all the same, keeping things well and in order.

Why did you choose Laura as your Homestone?

Because of the RP there and the open and hospitable attitude of the residents of the City when I first came about to visit there.

What is your favorite part of being a warrior?

It's enjoyable overall, most all aspects of the life I enjoy.

What is the least favorite part?

Panthers...........need I say more than I have a sharp axe blade

Do you have an FC or slave?

I have a slave

How does being warrior effect your relationship with each?

Well at times when calls to defend or attack come about and I am doing such it lessens the time I get to spend but it doesn't adversly or negatively effect things at all.

How is the Warrior caste different, in your eyes, from other castes?

It's different just by being in and of itself, The Codes themselves make the caste vastly unique on their own for example.

If you had to choose another caste, what would it be?

Probably would drop to being a low caste of some sort.

What does Gor mean to you?

As I've said before it's an extension of your personality, you are you here, it's all just part of yourself and your own expression in the time you have here.
