GUNNER VON PHOENIX
Master Gunner, slaver and lifestyle Gorean, embraced the Gorean lifestyle in 1974. His real-life wife of five years, Maryln, was the person who gave him his first book, "Outlaw of Gor." She submitted to him in August of that year, and that began a real-life Gorean Master/kajira relationship that lasted until her passing 17 years later. Yes, he has read all the books! He has trained slaves in real-life and in time, found Second Life, a place to live the Gorean lifestyle in a vast community setting. Over the past two and a half years in Second Life, he has mostly been a Slaver, but also a Tavern Keeper. He had a slave school for a long time, utilizing Second Life to train slaves for both Second Life and real-life. He has been a DJ for Gorean Portals Radio. Currently, he is Slaver at Rorus. He is passionate about Gorean dance, sits as a Judge in many dance competitions, and owns renowned dancer Babypea who has become his second real-life wife and kajira. Master Gunner says kajirae are all feelings. He loves Gorean dance primarily because, "It gives a kajira the chance to show her deepest feelings, from the love of her Master and her collar to pain, sadness, and even anger at her Master." |
NEVAR LOBO
Having been a scribe and magistrate in several cities throughout Gor, Nevar Lobo found his home as the head Magistrate in the City of Vigo. He is the co-founder of the School of Gorean Dance - which offers a wide variety of classes for both slaves and free. He loves to share his knowledge of the books and has talked with people from all over Gor about each others understanding beyond just the "quotes." He has trained many slaves and enjoys watching them grow with their new knowledge. Nevar's favorite part of Gor is spending time watching girls dance, especially his girl Maia. He loves to watch them show their emotions and desires through the art of gorean dance. Nothing delights him more than watching a dancer, especially one new to dance find the courage to pour out their heart on the sands - in service to the Free, and in celebration of life. Nevar has been judging dance competitions in SL Gor for the last seven years and continues to work with and and give guidance to many competing dancers.. |

MARK YOUNG
I have been in Gor on and off, most of the time I have been in SL. Some of asked me what I want out of my Gorean Lifestyle. It's simple! Faster Kailla, Older Paga, Younger Kajirae, More Copper Tarn Pieces! I was born into the Red Caste and have lived in many different Gorean Cities. My favorite things about Gor, would be my Home Stone, the Port City of Olni and all of our fine citizens I am sworn to defend. I enjoy my two kajirae, Sweetie and Tay. I love the Gorean games of Kaissa and Zar, both of which have allowed me to meet many interesting people and form lasting friendships all over the Gorean world. I have always enjoyed the art of dance animation and choreography which one can find here. Singles, Doubles, Couples and Dance Troupes, all of which I enjoy and find each quite fascinating. This interest naturally lead me to the Gorean Dance Community Competitions and Exhibitions. I have spent considerable time going to these as well as Gorean Dance Classes, talking to some of the girls that dance, as well as reading and researching all I can find that Norman wrote on the subject. Gorean Dance truly is an art form and when everything comes together just perfectly, in those few moments, it can be just ....a "Magical" and very "Emotional" experience! |
