"As much as I'd love to stay and chat, there are ruins to plunder, enemies to kill, and women to bed."
Name: Darius Al-Sayyid
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Birthday: January 18
Birthplace: Desierto
Sexuality: Straight
Special Characteristics: His back has several large scars, clearly gained from harsh whipping, coupled with the number "00476" tattooed on the nape of his neck, although it's usually covered by his hair. In addition, he has a tattoo of a tribal sun on his left shoulder.
Darius is the type of individual who leaves an impression on first meeting him. Of course, these impressions usually result in either you wanting to bed him or murder him, but they're impressions nonetheless. He holds his head up high, and usually has a satisfied smirk on his face when speaking. When spoken to, Darius usually responds with sharp wit and sarcasm. He rarely holds back with snarky remarks, and adores engaging in witty banter with anyone who can keep up.
Darius' boldness has also sadly lead to his inability to hold back his opinions when generally speaking. He prides himself on his honesty and isn't afraid to be blunt, even to a guild master or an S-class mage. Of course, this is within reason, as if stating his opinion could lead to his immediate demise or severe pain, he will restrict himself. But, when it comes to planning, or decisions that Darius finds immoral or impractical, he will speak his mind...and usually add his sarcasm along with said opinion.
At first glance, it's easy to see that the way he chooses to live life is hedonistic and egocentric, and it's not far from the truth. Darius loves to spend the jewels he gains on self-indulgent pleasures like women, alcohol, and smoking. Look past this, however, and you'll see someone trying to mask the pain of his past with anything that can make him happy, even briefly. This stems from a past that Darius despises speaking about.
Darius' view on the world is quite bleak, and justifiably so. Through his life as a slave, he has endured some of the worst that humanity has to offer. He has seen so many of his friends either die, or become a shell of who they once were due to the constant humiliation and torture that's inflicted upon them. It's because of this that Darius is quite the cynic, having little faith in people, finding it hard to get close or trust many.
Despite being sarcastic, prideful, hedonistic, and just being an overall douchebag, Darius is a good person at heart. He is an extremely empathetic person, he just dislikes showing it because he sees it as a weakness. However, when it comes down to situations where someone else is undergoing a lot of emotional turmoil, he will be a source of moral support, albeit he will deny ever being "mushy, gushy, and emotional" upon later contact.
In battle, Darius, for the most part, remains his usual exterior of witty repartee and confidence. He loves to mock and taunt his opponents, as the people he usually fights are either criminals or assholes (although both aren't mutually exclusive). Even when losing, Darius will never let his opponent enjoy their victory, and will trash talk whoever he's fighting to the very end. There is an exception to how he acts in battle though, and that's to people who deserve or warrant Darius' respect. Whether that be old warriors, people with legitimate reason to fight, or even friends, Darius will mute the persona that he so often displays and simply enjoy the best form of communication between two warriors: combat.
- Alcohol:
Ah yes, the phrase "the way to a man's heart is through his
- Spending Money:
Darius loves spending money on fancy clothes, jewelry, alcohol,
- Fighting
Darius adores fighting with other people. He won't just go around picking fights, but if a situation arises where hitting someone is either necessary (or they deserve it), Darius will usually choose the violent option rather than speaking.
- Sleeping
There's nothing better than sleeping for 12 hours, waking up in the middle of the afternoon, and then sleeping for another three.
- Flirting
Darius is a huge flirt, and does not hide it whatsoever.
- Slavery:
As an ex-slave who ran away from his homeland, Darius despises human trafficking and slavery of any type.
- Murder:
Darius has no qualms with killing other people, whether that be in self defence or even assassination to some extent. However, Darius only does this if they deserve it or it's necessary for his own survival. Darius won't be privy to murder.
- The Cold:
Darius has lived in the heat his entire life, so venturing to places that are unbelievably cold like mountain tops, tundra, and other extremely cold climates are a no-go for Darius...unless the money is worth it.
- Riches:
Due to Darius' childhood as a slave, he's been forced to work for men with an ungodly sum of money. This has caused Darius to desire money and riches, so that he'll never have to feel as weak as he was as a slave.
- Strength:
Darius wants to become strong, to make sure that no one else can humiliate, torture, or harm himself, or the people he cares about.
- Freedom:
Ultimately, what Darius desires in life to be free. He wants unrestricted adventure and to never be confined by chains, both physical and metaphorical, ever again.
- Family:
He'll never admit this out loud, but what Darius desires most is belonging with a group. He already belongs to one family with his old mercenary group, but since he's separated with them, although amicably, Darius wants to belong in his new home: Black Sails.
- Commitment and Family
Darius has a really hard time getting attached to people, since many of the people he considered family or was previously attached to have either died or suffered worse. When Darius starts to get close to people, he'll close himself off from them, sine he fears that if he gets too close, he could lose them.
- Being Helpless
Darius has a strong fear of not being able to be enough, and being too weak to hold his own. He feels that if he can't protect himself, then he'll be susceptible to being enslaved again, which is something he never wishes to happen again.
- The Past
The life that he was forced to undergo during his time in Desierto still haunts him in the present. There are many people that he abandoned for the sake of his liberation. Any further reminder of that fact, whether that be his past revisiting him or people finding out about who he was, will cause deep emotional turmoil. Ultimately, Darius fears the day that he will ultimately have to face the mistakes that he made to get to where he is now.
