He has a long, narrow face with a strong jaw, bright hazel eyes, and long, bright red hair. Waman doesn't have much in the way of facial hair but he does have a bit of a red soul patch under his lip. He also sports one braid in front of his left ear with twenty coloured beads on it. Most of them are red with the end one being black. His hair is usually loosely tied back though to keep from getting his way or catching fire.
Due to years as both a fighter and later a slave, he sports several scars, most of which are on his back, torso, and hands. His two most noticeable ones include a long, pink scar around the curve of his right elbow and down along his forearm. Waman also has a nasty, textured abrasion scar long the whole of his left ribs from having been dragged.
While not one for luxury, Waman does have several piercings. He has four in each eyebrow and two in each earlobe. He also a total of eight solid band tattoos on each leg of varying thicknesses on his thighs, calves, and ankles. Additionally, both thumbs have eight thin black tattoo bands around the centre knuckles and his other eight fingers have four thin bands on each of the first and second knuckles.
PersonalityGenerally, Waman comes across as a rather taciturn and cold individual. He is not one for smalltalk and prefers to keep to himself. He doesn't like people in his business and does his best to keep from having to interact with them long enough to answer personal questions. For this reason, he can come off as rude especially as he at times can literally brush past someone instead of stopping to talk.
That being said he is talented with his craft and always does his best to be fair and not greedy with his asking prices. In that same vein, as an honourable man, he would never willingly harm someone. He can't afford to be completely selfless these days but he will help when necessary.
However, he will defend himself if pushed far enough to act. He is NOT going back to a life of slavery and if it comes to a fight between his freedom or your life then without any hesitation, he chooses him.
Beyond the coldness and the will to survive though, is the heart of a boy still. Waman longs for home and dreams of it often. He misses his simple life and feels so completely out of his depths on his own in foreign lands filled with dishonest, disloyal strangers.
Things
- Can't swim and actually quite afraid of drowning.
- Picks at the skin of his knuckles when stressed and nervous.
- Absolutely doesn't like feeling cornered or with someone at his back. Will get particularly tense and jumpy if a male passes too closely or suddenly behind him.
- Favourite type of metalwork to do is intricate and braiding and knots.
- Has an uncanny talent for being able to undo tricky knots with ease.
- Will not lie and has a deep hatred for people who DO lie.
- Loves puzzles and patterns. In Essyrn he loved to trace the weavings of different fabrics when people weren't paying attention.
Magic/AbilitiesSemi-trained warrior: Waman has some skill with a knife and rope. He isn't very good with much else and really only has sheer willpower to thank for most of the hand-to-hand combats he's sparred off in.
Blacksmith: 10 years a slave has trained Waman to actually be somewhat proficient as a smithy. He knows his way around a forge and might even be classified as halfway decent in his craft.
Linguist: Due to his life far from home, Waman not only can speak the Adelan dialect of his homeland, but also Common Tongue and Essyrni.
RelationshipsMother: She may or not be alive still. He hasn't seen her in 10 years now but thinks of her often.
Little volcano: The monster that owns him and has taken his freedom once more.
HistoryWaman's beginnings were humble. He had a loving mother who taught him the virtues of endurance and persistence in overcoming obstacles. He was always rather small and willowy for his age and would often get into scraps with the other kids because of it. Despite it though he would always get back up again and give it his all.
From boy into man, Waman would grow to be a strong and equally wiry hunter for his tribe. He was full of youthful optimism and thoughts of becoming a great warrior one day that would do his family proud and earn a family name all of his own.
The threads of fate had something else in mind for him though. While out on a hunting mission with several of his fellow young hunters near the southern mountains, they were ambushed and taken captive by slavers. Those that survived of the group were sold off and sent their separate ways. Waman was to end up in Essyrn where he bounced from master to master. Some were kind, most were indifferent, a few were even cruel.
For one master he served as a gladiator, although he was quickly sold off when he bored his master with his inability to stay down after "being beat." Much of his time was spent working for a blacksmith. Regardless of master or task expected of him, he loathed it all. But, he was determined to endure. He
would go home again. He
would see his family. And he
would forget this living nightmare. Ten years after his capture he finally had a chance to free himself and he seized it with both hands until the breath left his master.
He fled that night and never once looked back. He's been moving from place to place offering services as a blacksmith and trying to live off the land as best as he can to try and get himself home again.
