Rhace Tarrin
Ca-Elian Swordsman
Name: Rhace Tarrin
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Birthday: August 20
Sexuality: Straight
Special Characteristics:
Non-magical.
Personality: Sardonic, analytical and obsessed with fighting to an absolute fault, Rhace is very much at home living the life of a mercenary blade. Most of his time and thoughts are dedicated to fighting, the unfortunate result of an upbringing that stemmed only from combat. If he wasn't fighting for himself, he was training, and most of this generally not his choice. Needless to say, this has stripped a lot of the extraneous material from his personality. It manifests in dry wit, sharp barbs, though tempered with a good sense of humour and a warm laugh - possibly the only thing that got him through what was accidentally an infernal hellscape of life.
Rhace is the kind of guy who will sit back in a situation, let other people take the lead, and then get the actual physical job done as soon as the moment calls for it. It comes from a highly pragmatic worldview, that there is a necessity for fighting, and that the work that needs to be done comes before all else. He doesn't need to lead, having no respect or need for the showboating of the limelight, but also will not settle for the mediocrity of compromising one's self for the sake of others.
Does this make him great at parties? Definitely, absolutely not. He's not much of a people person, especially in large groups. He doesn't mind the company of other people, but the chances of finding him surrounded by large groups of people willingly is almost zero. He's much more of a take the time to get to know someone and be personable that way. He appreciates intelligence and honesty in equal measure, and respects people who can back up what they say they can do with the ability to actually do it. Besides, you wouldn't want to be on his bad side - the answer is usually a sword to the face.
Likes:
- Reading - education is critical.
- Swordplay - it is both a physical and intellectual challenge.
- Travelling - expanding one's horizons is extremely important.
Dislikes:
- Show-offs - no time, no inclination, no need to deal with it.
- Large groups of people - too loud, too difficult to deal with, and very easy to get snuck up on.
- Liars - lying is a weakness that is unnecessary.
Motivations:
- Improve oneself, both physically and intellectually - mediocrity is death.
- Master the art of swordsmanship, particularly with a single blade - it is what he has known for his entire life, and will continue to train.
- Find somewhere actually worth settling down - all his life he hasn't had anywhere to truly call home, and would like to change that.
Fears:
- Death - being constantly in fear of your life leaves a permanent mark on your psyche.
- Being left alone, defenceless and trapped - it shows nothing but his own weakness. It inspires a little paranoia.
- Small, enclosed spaces - claustrophobia is unfortunately very real.
