As the title says. I recently got the inspiration for a story that involves a duel-perspective sort of deal. It's essentially focused on battles between individuals with godly, reality-warping abilities who, for the safty and protection of reality wage their battles through proxy as appose to using their own powers. These "battles" take the form of what is more or less an organized tournament of war games that are treated like a sport of sorts, using the most powerful champions the reality-warpers can collect from across the multiverse.
However, these "champions" are not necessarily always recruited willingly, and many are outright yanked from their normal universe and forced into the games.(Because you try saying no to a person who can literally make whatever they want to happen reality.) However, they are treated more like professional athletes then true slaves, and live a good, comfortable life, gain fame, and all of this is to the point that most eventually become content with there existence and don't really want "out."
My question is, whether or not having such characters just too wrong? Should I make them have a say in recruitment to make it less a form of "slavery" so such issues don't arise or is it ok as-is? If one of the two protagonists happened to be one of these individuals, and decided they didn't want out, would the whole thing just be too wrong?
Thoughts and opinions please!
