OK~ Inel. Again. Because LJ ate it last time, but I've recovered now and am ready to get back to these things. So! Inel, whose character is based on The trick is to keep breathing by Garbage. Or rather, I'm picking bits from the song and applying them to him, since it's really about three or four different people ^^;
Name~ Inel
Age~ 35
Currently Appearing In~ Collective Own again, but bound to start showing up on his own once I've posted this.
Orientation~ Straight
Origin~ Ni-Yana, capital of Raykin
Significant Other(s)~ Wife
Background~ Brought up in one of the very high-class districts in Ni-Yana, Inel was pressured hard by his father in particular to get into Swordsmen First Company, so he actually started out with the red shirt and went through army training that way, but~ the sword just wasn't his cup of tea. Being the easy-going guy he is, he managed to tolerate the endless pressuring, even when it seemed his father was just about ready to disown him when it was clear that he'd never do any better than Third Company for the sword. Inel knew there was no way he'd be able to win his father's respect, but he really couldn't give a stuff. Not long after he passed his final exams, his pike/spear/whatever master convinced him that he should change to the orange shirt of the pikemen, so he did that particular exam again, only in the harder, pikemen-oriented form. Four years later he won his place in the Own, and~ there he is =D
Employment~ First Company pikeman and rider for the King's Own, formerly Third Company swordsman.
Appearance~ Average height and with very strong shoulders. Straight hair down to his shoulder blades that he usually wears down, but ties it in a tail at the nape of his neck when he's fighting. As with all the guys, scars here there and everywhere.
Distinguishing Characteristics~ Not sure whether this should go here or under 'quirks'. Anyway, he walks with a very slight limp in his left leg, due to having broken it during one of the recent missions in Kazin (the one where General Rau was killed). Since it takes a month absolute minimum to get back to Ni-Yana, or two weeks to the closest Raykinian healing house to Kazin, the bone didn't heal quite straight, so yeah, bit of a limp.
Quirks~ Inel's very much into religeon, mythology, that kind of thing. Not just the Raykinian goddesses, but also the gods of Kazin, the desert stories, and the plethora of Llayan deities. He's just fascinated by that kind of thing.
Sin-of-Anger~ Nah, he's generally pretty easy-going. He gets annoyed with himself more than anyone else, but the trouble is, when he does~ piss himself off, he takes it out on everyone else.
Sin-of-Envy~ Little bit of envy for the guys who don't get forced into learning weapons they don't want to learn, but now that he's at the top of what he loves most, he's happy enough.
Sin-of-Pride~ Only when he's with other pikemen--nobody else really understands his weapon, and it doesn't hold half as much glamour as the sword, so there's not as much of a chance to show off with it except to the other guys who use it.
Sin-of-Gluttony~ Nah, I wouldn't think so.
Sin-of-Lust~ Only with his wife.
Sin-of-Avarice~ As far as coinage goes, he's been spoilt all his life. Money's not really an issue for him, so he doesn't mind spending it on other people.
Sin-of-Sloth~ Not slothful as such, but he's a little slow on the uptake. In battle he relies more on instinct and reflexes than quick thinking.
Virtues~ Very loyal and dependable, also a good listener, and gives great advice. You can just see the cogs turning in his head when he's asked a question that he knows is important to whoever asked him.
