Ivar's Gladiator Look
Face Claim: Charlie Hunnam — but altered: long black hair, sea-green eyes that seem to glow under torchlight.
Physique: Lean but powerful; at 14, wiry with sharp lines of muscle, destined to grow into a balanced, athletic build as he ages toward his immortal prime at 18.

Arena Outfit (as in your image)
Armor:
Green leather and bronze-scaled armor — shoulder guard on the left arm, forearm guards, and reinforced greaves over his shins.
The armor is weathered but polished, giving him the look of a fighter who blends survival with style.
Chest & Torso: Bare, scarred, marked by the brotherhood brand, his skin telling a story of the pits and the lash.
Belt: Broad green war belt etched with a curling design, meant to draw the crowd's eye to his center as he pivots in combat.
Legs: Strips of leather and layered green cloth for mobility, practical for his speed and dual-sword fighting style.

Weapons
Longsword (Dominant Hand): Polished steel, slightly heavier for crushing blows.
Shortsword (Off-Hand): Balanced for stabbing and speed. He uses it for feints, crippling strikes, and quick kills.
Signature Style: Twin blades flashing together — precise, relentless, unpredictable. He overwhelms opponents not by brute force, but by pace and cunning.

Arena Persona
To the crowd, he is Gemina Ferrum ("Twin Steel").
To the other gladiators, he is a contradiction: a child among men, but already fighting with the cold precision of a veteran.
His sea-green eyes make him memorable in the arena, unnatural in a way that stirs whispers of divine favor — "touched by Neptune or Jupiter."

Do you want me to re-write Chapter 1's ending scene (when Spartacus first arrives at the ludus) to include Ivar already in this outfit — maybe training with his dual blades, his sea-green eyes glinting, so Spartacus' first impression of him feels mythic rather than boyish?
