Aloof and critical--he has a sour and unfriendly attitude. Although he holds others to a high standard, he's rather neglectful when it comes to himself. "Don't imitate me," he'll say after you try to turn his nagging back on to him. Instead of bettering himself, he's more focused on supporting and advising younger chiot, whether they want it or not. He's also blunt and scathing in his words, swears flying freely from his mouth. Those with thick skin or an oblivious mind might find his sarcastic observations amusing and his selfish support affectionate. He's not jolly company at all, except when you get him a couple rounds of heavy drink at the pub. His impatience and quick-temper are toned down then too. Sor really doesn't have much patience for things, so he finds himself frustrated with people often. Already pessimistic by nature, he tends to give up on others if his words seem to fall on deaf ears. The group he will never give up on, though, are kids. Although he's not particularly gentle with them, he is very forgiving and puts a lot of hope in their futures. Luckily, he's not overly nosy... not to say he isn't. But even if he believes he knows what the right thing is, he's not that determined to micro-manage everyone. He'll grumble before he steps in. His social skills are definitely rough and lacking in tact.

Besides having a good drink every-now-and-then and going to work, Sorrel practices fighting skills. He was a rough youth and still enjoys a good fight to this day. He's particularly fond of short blades. He has some pride in his abilities. His overall self-worth is on the low side, so he can be surprisingly sensitive when he's taken down a peg whether it's in combat or social situations. He becomes much more meek and closed off, not wanting to show weakness to anyone. Partly, fighting something is a chance for him to beat down something that isn't him. Sor understands that showing such sides to others is a way to seek comfort and deep bonds, but he's not interested in making the effort, when his mind tends to find things wrong with everyone most of the time. However, he does have people he respects or finds interesting to talk to.

Sorrel grew up playing with knives and other dangerous objects, much to his father's chagrin. He's the son of two longtime adventurers whose house was littered with items that should have been placed out of a child's reach. He spent a lot of time house-sitting alone, away from the village, which is likely the cause of his loner tendencies. As time went on, he gradually left the house unattended more and more as his independence grew. His education was shaky, and so his knowledge ended up being mostly comprised of life-experience and gradually piling up information over the years.

From his late teens to early adulthood, Sor was technically a criminal. He absorbed bad habits and negative world-views from the crew he associated with. He has yet to get rid of some habits to this day. Though some things he's done can never be rid of.

Eventually, he cut ties with those chiot. Though his parents are blissfully unaware of the details of his life, he avoids facing them as much as possible. Overcome with a sense of emptiness at his lack of any kind of goal, Sorrel dedicated several years to making it as an explorer, though he chose in the end to nurture his own kid rather than young recruits.

Lettuce [ daughter ]

Sorrel retrieved her from the forest as a child after he accidentally learned that a past fling of his had given birth and abandoned her. He retired from the Explorer's Guild soon after to get a stable job and raise his daughter. He finds her to be a handful, but he's nevertheless incredibly attached to her at this point. At first it was just his strong sense of responsibility, but watching a kid grow will thaw most hearts. They're on good terms, even if Sor's parenting methods have been awkward at times, and he tries not to force Lettuce to conform in every aspect. He focuses more on helping her adjust and teaching her whatever he can. That includes manners (even if she doesn't always take to them), common sense (that doesn't always make sense to her), and basic combat skills (though her instinct to flee can be overpowering). Since they're both rather introverted, their time together is usually spent quietly and just being in each other's presence. But of course, Sor being Sor, when he does have a sure idea of how things should go and what his daughter should do, he can be a big nagging thorn in Letty's side. They argue, but they don't hold grudges and simply carry on as usual. Watching her grow and mature no matter how slowly is his biggest source of happiness and purpose at this point.
