Shale

Characters Name: Shale

Race: Vixenian (Fennec fox)

Sex: male

Birthday: unknown

Age: 21 (approx he doesn’t really know)

Occupation: Blood slave (past 5 years)

Family: none

Appearance: 5’6”, he’s usually wiry but due to his position in life he’s quite thin with very little body tone any more. His skin seems pale though usually it’s lightly tanned; it is layered with scars, most significantly on his back where he was once almost beaten to death.

Hair: dirty blonde, not quite short not quite long (about shoulders), scraggly hard to tell if it should be curly or straight

Eyes: An insignificant medium brown

Fashion: Whatever he’s given, though usually something to make him blend in

Personality: Shale is defiantly a survivor. While he often comes off as meek and pathetic to most, letting them think he can just be ordered around. He is actually quite stubborn and unwilling to give up, he’s sure that there must be some reason to survive and is determined to find out what that is one day. He is also very willing to sacrifice himself for others believing he is less important than others as well as being sure he can handle any pain after that he has already experienced.

Background: Shale grew up on the streets for as long as he can actually remember; he would usually manage to find himself the odd job here and there that let him at least feed himself without resorting to stealing anything. And for the most part he was able to keep himself from being noticed by the wrong company, he was never anything special after all, so he found a way to make himself disappear into his surroundings. Then one winter he wasn’t so lucky, getting thrown out of his shelter from a fairly bad winter storm he ended up wandering in the snow. The next thing he knew he was waking up bound and being sold as a slave. He wished at times that he had never woken up from the bone numbing cold. The man who had bought him was a blood mage and Shale was now his blood slave, and the man had a dark enjoyment for just causing Shale extremes in pain and seeing how close he can push his ‘property’ to the brink of death without actually killing him.

Likes: Sweets (he’s never had them), good food in general is amazing to him

Dislikes: closed in places or even if he thinks he’s stuck (he’s a little claustrophobic), the cold/winter (he is ALWAYS bundled up if it’s even a little chilly), Authority (he’s more scared of them then disliking of them…Gyrian Authority is even worse)

Flaws: Claustrophobic (not bad but he gets very panicked/nervous), PTSD (because of his past sometimes things will make him freeze up and have a panic attack, he usually ends up bolting outside to find a place that is calming to him/this may also include him hurting himself as for some twisted reason the familier pain is calming to him.)

Magic/Fighting: At first none. He does have the potential to learn earth magic (sand & stone), he also understands knives are pointy and can kill/hurt, they scare him though.

Skills: High pain tolerance, ability to blend into many situations and be unnoticed
