Appearance


Torqin is on the upper end of the Lotharro height spectrum, and carries it with confidence. His skin is dark, and he keeps his head shaved, preferring to tone down some of the more feral aspects of his race. He trains rigorously to keep his body strong, and is very proud of his musculature. He keeps the hair on his body, for who really has time for that much grooming when you can just cover it with nice clothes? He keeps his teeth clean, his nails trimmed, and his clothes clean. His eyes are dark brown, his smile wide and quite the common sight. He wears the nicest clothes that he can afford, and his boots, armor, and weapons always carry a shine.


Personality

Torqin is a sociable person, greeting most people with a broad, seemingly genuine smile, often accompanied with a handshake, shoulder clasp, or a hug. He enjoys the finer things in life, having always inspired to better and more in his life. And while he is polite, talkative, and friendly to people, he trusts no one, with one exception. He only trusts Celeste Andaris. Everyone else is kept at a polite reach. He never talks about himself much, nor his past, often changing the subject. He's hard working, but knows the pleasure of leisure.

History

Torqin was born to Jholengrier and Amyriah in Rynmere. His father was a stable keeper for the Aestedian Estate's stables. His mother was a shield smith in Drakengard. His parents weren't especially close, so Torqin lived with his father, and helped him as a stable boy. During this upbringing, his father taught him many things, from the basic care of animals, to self defense. But more importantly, he taught him how to survive in a place such as Rynmere. He taught him how to be polite and friendly to everyone, how to always be presentable, and to always protect a noble in trouble.

And one fateful evening, Torqin had to protect Celeste from her own father. And it cost him dearly. (Details forthcoming in a Memory Thread with Celeste). He left Rynmere and his family behind, making for the Eastern Territories. While there, as a young man, he did what he needed to do to survive. At first it was hard, and he had to take many unsavory jobs, some illegal. But he kept at it, always remembering the lessons his father. One day, he decided that he wanted more from his life. And everyone knew that money was the only way to get more.

So Torqin returned to Rynmere, to seek out Celeste, and start a new life, as a grown man.

NPCs
Memory NPCs

Name: Jholengrier
NPC Type: Memory NPC
Race: Lotharro
Date of Birth: Vhalar 12, 661
Skills: Animal Husbandry 25, Animal Training 25, Strength 25, Unarmed Combat 25
Appearance: Jholengrier is of middling height for a Lotharro, about 6'3. He has a strong body, but isn't especially bulky. His skin is dark, his hands calloused. His face bears scars from years of handling animals that many considered too wild, but not the Lotharro of Uthaldria. He wears loose-fitting clothing when working, and dresses only mildly formal when the occasion calls for it.
Personality: Jholengrier is a quiet man. He's very independent, preferring animals to people in many cases. But he's not without common sense for the society around him. He always listens and watches first, acts second. When he and his wife moved to Rynmere from Uthaldria, life was very different. But expecting parents do what is best for their child. And Jholengrier's brother had always suggested Rynmere. Jholengrier quickly learned and adapted to the customs, and when his son was born, he made an extra effort to teach Torqin the ways of both worlds.
Relationship to PC: Father
Anything: Jholengrier, worked as an animal handler and breeder for the Aestedia Barony. Jholengrier died in Vhalar 706, after his son rescued Celeste Andaris from her father. When Torqin fled, Celeste's father had Jholengrier imprisoned, tortured, and eventually killed. But Jholengrier never gave up where his son may have gone, nor who his mother was.

Name: Lexie
Race: Human
Date of Birth: Zi'da 21, 791
Skills: 50 Seduction, 50 Endurance, 50 Intelligence, 50 Cooking, 50 Medicine, 50 Cosmetology, 50 Caregiving, 350 Renown
Appearance: Lexie is of middling height, standing 5'4, with a thin build. Her hair is blonde, though she tends to keep it a bit disheveled, tumbling past her shoulders. Her eyes are green, and her smile bright. She normally wears simple, humble dresses, cut in a way to accent her hips and waistline. Her skin is pale, and she always keeps a locket around her neck, one she never removes for anything.
Personality: Lexie was a sweet girl who grew up in Etzos. She had a fairly normal life, until she went to live out on her own. She fell in love with an artist, relishing the creativity he exuded. But the man had a temper in his passion too, one made worse by the drugs he took to stimulate his creativity. Soon, he began to beat her in his rages, and soon, he forced his drugs on her as well. She became addicted, too desperate to leave him. And soon, when money became tight, he made her into his prostitute.

A few arcs of this treatment and the man finally died of overdose, and Lexie fled Etzos, seeking a better life. She arrived in Ivorian, with no practical skills, no money, no hope. So she returned to her prostitution to get by. At least she wasn't being beaten this way, was her mindset. But she always wanted more, and wanted to return home. Walking the streets was how she met Tessa, and later, Torqin. As Torqin left Ivorian for Etzos, Tessa came along as well.

Relationship to PC: Friend
Anything: This is my 400 PB Point NPC purchase.
