Dervish

[Dervish]

Dervish Basic Information Race: Mixedblood Human-Zith Birthday & Age: 489 AV (Approximately 21 years) Gender: Male Physical appearance: Dark and reasonably handsome, Dervish walks 6'1, and is of medium weight, well-built from fighting and working in the streets and alleys of Ravok, where he has also earned several scars and bruises, especially on his arms and back. Characterizing Dervish is his intense, almost fiery temper and nature, which is apparent in his strong gaze and demeanour, especially when faced with opposition. His dark brown eyes seem zealous, and his hair coils untamed and unkept around his head. His dark traits and occasional animalistic nature are probably inherited from his Zith mother, as well as patches of longer hairs on his elbows and knees, which he usually shaves away with a knife. The same thing counts for his fingernails, which he usually cuts away with a knife, otherwise they'd be longer, darker, and sharper than the average humans. Character Concept: As far as psychology goes, Dervish is anarchistic, violent, and greedy. His upbringing had been filled with racism and violence, after he had been left by his mother at an orphanage. He never quite understood his nature, but the other kids and adults knew he was -different- and treated him as such. Dervish has vague morals, acting impetuously and rashly, only truly caring for his adoptive brother Lorcan, who at times seem to keep him in line, or at least out of danger. Also, Dervish has a dormant bloodlust, and fights quickly and brutally. Despite his rather dangerous traits and personality, Dervish has managed to survive, and occasionally shows himself as benevolent if faced with someone he can relate to, or pities. However, trust does not come easy, but anger and sadness much too quickly. Not-so-Ancient History: Dervish was found, dumped outside a brothel in Ravok, by a customer less than pleased to find a baby at his feet. He was handed over to the caring inhabitants, who for several years more-or-less fed him. During this time, he quickly learned to take to the streets, where petty theft and begging barely sustained him. However, one day around his ninth birthday, the at the time nameless Dervish was caught by a merchant he was stealing some food from, and turned in to an orphanage which at the same time acted as a prison for extremely young criminals. Nameless had no friends, no place, and made enemies on his first day. Rushing into a fight, he was "rescued" by another mixedblood, Lorcan, the Isur-Inarta halfbreed. His only friend in the place, they allied against a hostile world that wouldn't accept them. Lorcan, however, was a year older than Dervish, and was let out of the orphanage at age 16, gaining an apprenticeship at a blacksmith's. As soon as he was let out. He immediately started looking for his friend, he'd heard Lorcan was a blacksmith's apprentice and started looking around blacksmith's in the area. When he found the right one he asked Lorcan if he could stay at his place for a while, which of course was fine, as long as he paid his fair share.
